(b)    For each Deposit Account (other than Excluded Accounts) that a Grantor at any time maintains, such Grantor will, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, enter into a control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Deposit Accounts, which shall be in the form of a “springing” or “with activation” control agreement permitting such Grantor access to such Deposit Account unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. This subsection shall not apply to the Excluded Accounts. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Collateral Agent will not give any instructions to a depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited

    12    [Security Agreement]




to any Deposit Account or withhold any withdrawal rights from any Grantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided that, in the event of a draw on a DSR Letter of Credit, the Collateral Agent may transfer the proceeds of such DSR Letter of Credit draw to the Administrative Agent on a written instruction of the Administrative Agent.
Section 4.4.    Limitations on Perfection of Specified Types of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV or otherwise in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Grantor shall be required to take any action (other than the delivery of “all asset” UCC financing statements) with respect to the perfection of liens on or security interests in Limited Perfection Collateral.
ARTICLE V

Voting and Distribution Rights in Respect of Pledged Equity
Section 5.1.    Voting Rights. Unless and until the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights and powers relating or pertaining to the Pledged Equity of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided that such Grantor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would reasonably be expected to materially impair the Secured Parties’ interest therein or the value thereof or would conflict in any material respect with or result in the violation of any material provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents.
Section 5.2.    Dividend Rights While No Event of Default Exists. Unless and until the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain all dividends, interest and other Distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity owned by it if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents; provided that except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement:
(a)     all dividends, interest and other Distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and Instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any such Pledged Equity;
(b)    all dividends and other Distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any such Pledged Equity in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid in surplus; and
(c)    all cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any such Pledged Equity,
shall be, and shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as, Collateral and shall be, if received by such Grantor, (i) received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, (ii) segregated from the other property, or (iii) funds of such Grantor and promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Equity in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
Section 5.3.    Actions by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to such Grantor all such instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to receive the benefits of Section 5.1 above and to receive the dividends, interest payments or other Distributions that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 5.2 above.

    13    [Security Agreement]




Section 5.4.    Rights While an Event of Default Exists. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement):
(a)    All rights of a Grantor to receive the dividends, interest and other Distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 5.2 shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity such dividends, interest and other Distributions.
(b)    All dividends, interest and other Distributions that are received by a Grantor contrary to subsection (a) above shall be (i) received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, (ii) segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and (iii) promptly paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Equity in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
ARTICLE VI

Remedies, Powers and Authorizations
Section 6.1.    Normal Provisions Concerning the Collateral.
(a)    Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file, without the signature of such Grantor, in any jurisdiction any amendments to existing financing statements and any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that:
(i)    indicate the Collateral as being:
(A)    “all assets of Grantor and all proceeds thereof, and all rights and privileges with respect thereto” or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC or the granting clause of this Agreement, but, in all cases, excluding the Excluded Assets; or
(B)    of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail;
(ii)    contain any other information required for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to such Grantor. Each Grantor will furnish any such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request.
(b)    Each Grantor appoints the Collateral Agent as such Grantor’s attorney in fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including any action or instrument:
(i)    to obtain and adjust any insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto;
(ii)    to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof;

    14    [Security Agreement]




(iii)    to sign the name of such Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral;
(iv)    to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral;
(v)    to notify, or to require such Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent;
(vi)    to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes;
(vii)    to send verifications of accounts receivable to any Account Debtor;
(viii)    to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive, give acquittance and receipts for and give discharges and releases of moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral of such Grantor;
(ix)    to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other Instruments or Documents;
(x)    to enforce any obligations included in the Collateral of such Grantor; and
(xi)    to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor.
Such power of attorney and proxy are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable, and are to be used by the Collateral Agent solely following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default for the sole benefit of the Secured Parties.
(c)    If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Collateral Agent may, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, but shall have no obligation to, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 6.6.
(d)    If any Inventory with a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $2,000,000 collectively in which a Grantor has granted a security interest hereunder is at any time in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee or any of such Grantor’s agents, such Grantor shall, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and instruct such Person to hold all such Inventory for the Collateral Agent’s account subject to the Collateral Agent’s security interest created herein. No such request by the Collateral Agent shall be deemed a waiver of any provision hereof that was otherwise violated by such Inventory being held by such Person prior to such instructions by such Grantor.
(e)    The Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon not less than 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower, to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees

    15    [Security Agreement]




any Investment Property or other Pledged Equity, subject only to the voting rights retained pursuant to Section 5.1.
(f)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:
(i)    each Grantor shall remain liable to perform all duties and obligations under the agreements included in the Collateral of such Grantor to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed;
(ii)    the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any right hereunder shall not release a Grantor from any duty or obligation under any agreement included in the Collateral of such Grantor; and
(iii)    no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any duty or obligation of any Grantor thereunder or take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
Section 6.2.    Event of Default Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may from time to time in its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided below:
(a)    exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other right and remedy provided for herein, under the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC and any other applicable Law, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, upon not less than 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Grantor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);
(b)    require each Grantor to, and such Grantor will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent, promptly assemble all or part of the Collateral of such Grantor as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it (together with all books, records and information of such Grantor relating thereto) available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(c)    prior to the Disposition of any Collateral:
(i)    to the extent permitted by applicable Law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premises owned by a Grantor where any Collateral is or may be located, and without charge or liability to the Collateral Agent seize and remove such Collateral from such premises;
(ii)    have access to and use a Grantor’s books, records, and information relating to the Collateral of such Grantor; and
(iii)    store or transfer any Collateral without charge in or by means of any storage or transportation facility owned or leased by any Grantor, process, repair or recondition any Collateral or otherwise prepare it for Disposition in any manner and to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate and, in connection with such

    16    [Security Agreement]




preparation and Disposition, use without charge any copyright, trademark, trade name, patent or technical process used by any Grantor;
(d)    reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure;
(e)    Dispose of, at its office, on the premises of any Grantor or elsewhere, any Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (but that the sale of any Collateral shall not exhaust the Collateral Agent’s power of sale, and sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any Collateral;
(f)    to the extent permitted by applicable Law, buy (or allow any Secured Party to buy and/or credit bid) Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public sale;
(g)    to the extent permitted by applicable Law, buy (or allow any Secured Party to buy and/or credit bid) Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale if any Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type that is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations;
(h)    apply by appropriate judicial proceedings in accordance with applicable Law for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and each Grantor consents to any such appointment;
(i)    comply with any applicable state or federal Law requirement in connection with a Disposition of Collateral and such compliance shall not be considered to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Collateral;
(j)    sell Collateral without giving any warranty, with respect to title or any other matter;
(k)    notify (or to require a Grantor to notify) any and all obligors under any Account, Payment Intangible, Instrument or other right to payment included in the Collateral of such Grantor of the assignment thereof to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor and to the extent permitted by Law, to enforce collection of any such Account, Payment Intangible, Instrument or other right to payment and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor could have done. After any Grantor receives notice that the Collateral Agent has given (or after the Collateral Agent has required such Grantor to give) any notice referred to above in this subsection:
(i)    all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and writings) received by such Grantor in respect of any Account, Payment Intangible, Instrument or other right to payment included in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be, at the Collateral Agent’s discretion, either:
(A)    held as cash collateral and released to such Grantor upon the remedy of all Events of Default; or

    17    [Security Agreement]




(B)    while an Event of Default is continuing, applied as specified in Section 6.3; and
(ii)    no Grantor shall adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account, Payment Intangible, Instrument, or other right to payment included in the Collateral of such Grantor or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereon or allow any credit or discount thereon;
(l)    give any entitlement order, instruction or direction in respect of any Investment Property of such Grantor to any issuer, securities intermediary, or commodity intermediary, and to withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal rights or trading rights by such Grantor; and
(m)    give an instruction in accordance with any applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement or other control agreement entered into in accordance with the Loan Documents to any depository bank that maintains a Deposit Account for a Grantor with respect to the Disposition of funds credited thereto or restrict the ability of any Grantor to withdraw funds credited thereto, except as authorized in any other Loan Document.
To the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law with respect to Collateral of any Grantor, at least 10-days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification; provided that, if the Collateral Agent fails in any respect to give such notice, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it under the UCC or other applicable Law. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
Section 6.3.    Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any Collateral shall be applied as payment for Secured Obligations as set forth in Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement.
Section 6.4.    Deficiency. If the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization of or upon the Collateral of a Grantor by the Collateral Agent are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations and all other amounts to which the Collateral Agent is entitled, such Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents or (if no interest is so provided) at such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable Law, together with the reasonable and documented costs of collection and the reasonable and documented fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent and/or the other Secured Parties to collect such deficiency. Collateral may be sold at a loss to the Grantor owning such Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability or responsibility to such Grantor for such loss. Each Grantor acknowledges that a private sale may result in less proceeds than a public sale.
Section 6.5.    Private Sales of Investment Property and Other Pledged Equity. The Secured Parties may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of any Investment Property or other Pledged Equity and may determine to make one or more private sales of such Investment Property or other Pledged Equity to a restricted group of purchasers that will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the same for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Any such private sale may be at a price and on other terms less favorable to the seller than the price and other terms that might have been obtained at

    18    [Security Agreement]




a public sale. Any such private sale nevertheless shall be upon not less than 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower and to the extent permitted by applicable Law shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to delay sale of any such Investment Property or other Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit their registration for public sale under the Securities Act. Any offer to sell any such Collateral that has been:
(i)    publicly advertised on a bona-fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act), or
(ii)    made privately in the manner described above to not less than 5 bona-fide offerees,
shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” under Section 9.610(c) of the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and any Secured Party may bid and/or credit bid for such Collateral.
Section 6.6.    Indemnity and Expenses. Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.
Section 6.7.    Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to the Collateral Agent the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Grantor waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right that might otherwise require the Collateral Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process and confirms that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. The Collateral Agent may, however, in its discretion, resort to judicial process.
Section 6.8.    Limitation on Duty of the Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.
Section 6.9.    Appointment of Other Agents(a)    . At any time, pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent may appoint any bank or trust company or one or more other Persons, either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly with the Collateral Agent, or to act as separate agent or agents on behalf of the Collateral Agent, with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effective operation of the provisions hereof and may be specified in the instrument of appointment.

    19    [Security Agreement]

Section 7.3.    Preservation of Rights. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by Law or otherwise.
Section 7.4.    Severability.

Section 7.7.    Release of Collateral; Termination.
(a)    Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other Disposition of any Collateral of Grantor in accordance with and permitted by the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent will, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby and such Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent granted thereon; provided that Grantor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least 5 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may approve), a written request for release describing the Collateral to be released, together with a certification by such Grantor stating that such transaction is in compliance with the terms of all of the Loan Documents and that the proceeds of such Collateral will be applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, if applicable (on which certification the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely without further inquiry).
(b)    After termination of each Lender’s Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable) and cash collateralization (or such other arrangement acceptable to Borrower and the applicable Lender Counterparty) of Lender Swap Obligations, this Agreement and the security interest created hereby (and thereby) shall terminate, all rights in the Collateral shall revert to Grantors, and the Collateral Agent, at a Grantor’s request and at its expense, will:
(i)    return to Grantor all of Grantor’s Collateral in the Collateral Agent’s possession as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and
(ii)    execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
No Grantor is authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, subject to Grantors’ rights under Sections 9.509(d)(2) and 9.518 of the UCC, this Section 7.7 and Section 7.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 6.6 and 7.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.8.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)    The terms of Sections 11.7 and 11.10 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing law, submission to jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

    21    [Security Agreement]




(b)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
Section 7.9.    Final Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.
Section 7.10.    Counterparts; Facsimile.

Section 7.12.    Joinder of Additional Grantors. Upon the execution and delivery by any Subsidiary of the Borrower of a Joinder Agreement, (a) such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein, and each reference in this Agreement to a “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Subsidiary, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Grantor”, “Restricted Person” or a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Subsidiary; (b) each reference herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents; and (c) each reference herein to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement as supplemented by such Joinder Agreement. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Collateral Agent. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary as a party to this Agreement.
