In addition, each Grantor shall cause any certificates evidencing any Pledged Equity Interests, including any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests, to be similarly delivered to the Administrative Agent regardless of whether such Pledged Equity Interests constitute Certificated Securities.

(a)    With respect to any Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Security Entitlements, Commodity Accounts and Commodity Contracts included in the Collateral, each Grantor shall either (1) ensure that the Administrative Agent has Control thereof or (1) at the request of the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders, cause any Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Security Entitlements, Commodity Accounts and Commodity Contracts included in the Collateral over which the Grantor is unable to ensure that the Administrative Agent has Control to be moved to a depository institution or Securities Intermediary or financial institution as applicable, where such Control may be obtained; provided, however, that such Control requirement shall not apply to any Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Security Entitlements, Commodity Accounts and Commodity Contracts with a value of less than, or having funds or other assets credited thereto with a monthly average balance of less than, $500,000 individually or $3,000,000 in the aggregate. With respect to any Securities Accounts or Security Entitlements, such Control shall be accomplished by (i) the Grantor causing the Securities Intermediary maintaining such Securities Account or Security Entitlement to enter into an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or such other agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), pursuant to which the Securities Intermediary shall agree to comply with the Administrative Agent’s Entitlement Orders without further consent by such Grantor, or (ii) at the request of the Administrative Agent, cause such Securities Accounts or Security Entitlements to be moved to a Securities Intermediary where such agreement may be obtained. With respect to any Deposit Account, each Grantor shall (i) cause the depositary institution maintaining such account to enter into an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or such other agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), pursuant to which the Bank shall agree to comply with the Administrative Agent’s instructions with respect to disposition of funds in the Deposit Account without further consent by such Grantor, or (ii) at the request of the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders, cause such Deposit Accounts to be moved to a depository institution where such agreement may be obtained.

(c)    it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing if any item of Material Intellectual Property: (1) has been abandoned or dedicated to the public or placed in the public domain, (1) has been declared invalid or unenforceable, (1) has become the subject of a final, non-appealable adverse determination regarding such Grantor’s ownership, registration or use or the validity or enforceability of such item of Material Intellectual Property (including any final, non-appealable adverse determination with respect to, any action or proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any slate registry, any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, or any court) or (1) has become the subject of any reversion or termination of rights;
(d)    it shall take commercially reasonable steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry or any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, to pursue any application and maintain any registration or issuance of each Trademark, Patent, and Copyright owned by any Grantor and constituting Material Intellectual Property, including, but not limited to, those items on Schedule 5.2(II) (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time);
(e)    it shall use commercially reasonable efforts so as not to permit the inclusion in any contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision that could or may in any way materially impair or prevent the creation of a security interest in, or the assignment of, such Grantor’s rights and interests in any property acquired under such contracts and included in the Material Intellectual Property other than with respect to customary provisions restricting assignment of, or sublicensing under, any licensing agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(f)    in the event that any Material Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed to any Grantor is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly take commercially reasonable actions to stop such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation and protect its rights in such Material Intellectual Property including, but not limited to, the initiation of a suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages;
(g)    it shall take commercially reasonable steps reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of all Trade Secrets, including entering into confidentiality agreements with employees and consultants and labeling and restricting access to secret information and documents;
(h)    it shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of any of the Material Intellectual Property; and
(i)    it shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Material Intellectual Property or any portion thereof. In connection with such collections, such Grantor may take (and, at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection of such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby.
6.8    Collateral Account. The Grantors hereby authorize, instruct and direct the establishment of the Collateral Account with the Administrative Agent as a segregated non-interest bearing trust account in the name of and to be maintained by the Administrative Agent (amounts to be deposited thereunder to remain uninvested).
SECTION 7.
ACCESS; RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS.
7.1    Access; Right of Inspection. The Administrative Agent shall at all times have full and free access during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and records of each Grantor, and the Administrative Agent and its representatives may examine the same, take extracts therefrom and make or request photocopies thereof, and each Grantor agrees to render to the Administrative Agent, at such Grantor’s cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Administrative Agent and its representatives shall at all times also have the right to enter any premises of each Grantor during normal business hours and inspect any property of each Grantor where any of the Collateral of such Grantor granted pursuant to this Agreement is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein.
7.2    Further Assurances.
(h)    Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document, neither the Borrower nor any Grantor shall have any obligation to perfect any security interest granted hereunder or under any Loan Document in any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral in any jurisdiction other than the United States. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:
(i)    file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;
(ii)    take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in any Intellectual Property with any intellectual property registry in the United States in which said Intellectual Property is registered or issued or in which an application for registration or issuance is pending, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or the various Secretaries of State, as applicable;
(iii)    with reasonable notice and request by the Administrative Agent, allow inspection of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent, or persons designated by the Administrative Agent;
(iv)    at the Administrative Agent’s request at the direction of the Required Lenders, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor’s title to or the Administrative Agent’s security interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and
(v)    furnish the Administrative Agent with such information regarding the Collateral, including the location thereof, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time.
(i)    Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file a Record or Records, including financing or continuation statements, Intellectual Property Security Agreements and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Required Lenders determine are necessary or advisable to perfect or otherwise protect the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent herein; provided, however, that such authorization to act shall not be construed or deemed to create any obligation on the Administrative Agent to so act. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent herein, including describing such property as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created” or words of similar effect. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(j)    Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to modify this Agreement after obtaining such Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule 5.2 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by any Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which any Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest.
7.3    Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Pledge Supplement. Upon delivery of any such Pledge Supplement to the Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Administrative Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 8.
COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
8.1    Power of Attorney. Effective upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the following;
(k)    to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement;
(l)    to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(m)    to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above;
(n)    to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(o)    to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;
(p)    to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral in the name of such Grantor as debtor;
(q)    to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Administrative Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and
(r)    generally to sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof and shall not be construed or deemed to create any obligation on the Administrative Agent to act. Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
8.2    No Duty on the Part of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.
8.3    Appointment Pursuant to Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent has been appointed as administrative agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The rights, duties, protections, limitations on liability, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement are extended hereto, and shall be enforceable by the Administrative Agent hereunder and under each document related hereto to which it is a party or otherwise subject, whether or not specifically set forth herein or therein.
SECTION 9.
REMEDIES.
9.1    Generally.
(f)    If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:
(1) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from the Grantor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon the Grantor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located, remove such Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Collateral and use in connection with such removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Grantor;
(i)    Demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Administrative Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to the Grantor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, the Grantor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Administrative Agent;
(ii)    Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Grantor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;
(iii)    Take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the Grantor in writing to deliver the same to the Administrative Agent at any place or places so designated by the Administrative Agent, in which event the Grantor shall at its own expense: (i) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Administrative Agent and therewith delivered to the Administrative Agent, (ii) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Administrative Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Administrative Agent and (iii) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. The Grantor’s obligation to deliver the Collateral as contemplated in this Section 9.1(a)(iv) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the Grantor of such obligation;
(iv)    Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of the Grantor constituting Collateral for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 9.2 hereof;
(v)    Retain and apply any dividends, interest or distributions and securities or other property to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 9.2 hereof;
(vi)    Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Collateral; and
(vii)    Without notice except as specified in Section 9.1(b) or as required by law, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.
(g)    The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) Business 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative 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. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent, that the Administrative Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder.
(h)    The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(i)    Each Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, notice of judicial hearing in connection with the Administrative Agent’s taking possession or the Administrative Agent’s disposition of any of the Collateral, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Grantor would otherwise have under any Law, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable Law. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Section 9 except to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity or otherwise against such Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Grantor.
(j)    Each Grantor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of Credit Extensions, Collateral received or delivered or any other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description.
(k)    The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral and hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of all such laws.
(l)    To the extent that any Law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Admnistrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other Law, to fail to obtain consents for Governmental Authorities or third parties for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim or modify disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 9.1(g) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would fulfill the Administrative Agent’s duties under the UCC or other applicable Law in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 9.1(g). Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9.1(g) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Law in the absence of this Section 9.1(g).
9.2    Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall he applied, together with any other sums then held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
9.3    Sales on Credit. If Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the relevant Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Administrative Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
9.4    Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Administrative Agent all such information as the Administrative Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Administrative Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
9.5    Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, to the extent assignable and otherwise permitted pursuant to the applicable Trademark License, Patent License, Copyright License or Trade Secret License, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.
9.6    Intellectual Property.
(a)    Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(viii)    the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, acting under the direction of the Required Lenders, to enforce any Intellectual Property rights of such Grantor included in the Collateral, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Administrative Agent in aid of such enforcement, and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 12 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 9.6, and, to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property rights included in the Collateral as provided in this Section 9.6, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation;
(ix)    upon written demand from the Administrative Agent acting under the direction of the Required Lenders, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Administrative Agent or such Administrative Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral and shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;
(x)    each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any other Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, any such Intellectual Property included in the Collateral;
(xi)    within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Administrative Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with any Trademarks or Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Administrative Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the Administrative Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and
(xii)    the Administrative Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of any Intellectual Property of such Grantor included in the Collateral, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Administrative Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;
(1)
all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 9.7 hereof; and
(2)
Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.
(b)    If (1) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (1) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (1) an assignment or other transfer to the Administrative Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to any Intellectual Property of such Grantor shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (1) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Administrative Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Administrative Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties.
9.7    Cash Proceeds; Deposit Accounts.
(a)    If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 6.5 with respect to payments of Receivables, upon request of the Administrative Agent, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required) and held by the Administrative Agent. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, (A) be held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Administrative Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.
(b)    If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.
COLLATERAL AGENT.
The Administrative Agent has been appointed to act as collateral agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties appoint the Administrative Agent to act as collateral agent hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. The provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent including the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Administrative Agent are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith.
SECTION 11.
CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification Obligations), the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation, expiration, posting of backstop letters of credit or cash collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit satisfactory to the issuer(s) of such Letters of Credit, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification Obligations), the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation, expiration, posting of backstop letters of credit or cash collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit satisfactory to the issuer(s) of such Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Upon a Grantor becoming a Non-Recourse Subsidiary in a transaction described in Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement, the security interests granted by such Grantor hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral of such Grantor shall revert to such Grantor. If approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (subject to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement), or if approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with the sale of property subject to a Lien hereunder as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under the Credit Agreement, the applicable security interest granted hereby in such assets in respect of which a lien release was so approved, authorized or ratified shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the applicable Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Upon any such termination the Administrative Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any Disposition of property permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Administrative Agent shall, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.
SECTION 12.
STANDARD OF CARE; ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duly as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 13.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Administrative Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST).
THE PROVISIONS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT UNDER THE HEADINGS “GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC.” AND “WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL” ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

SECURITIES ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT
This Securities Account Control Agreement dated as of [________], 20[__] (this “Agreement”) among [________] (the “Debtor”), Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and [________], in its capacity as a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the “Securities Intermediary”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of December [__], 2013, among the Debtor, the other Grantors party thereto and the Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”). All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.
Section 1. Establishment of Securities Account. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:
(a)    The Securities Intermediary has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name “[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor account, the “Securities Account”) and the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number of the Securities Account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;
(b)    All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to the Securities Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be registered in the name of the Debtor, payable to the order of the Debtor or specially indorsed to the Debtor except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank;
(c)    All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Security Agreement will be promptly credited to the Securities Account; and
(d)    The Securities Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of Section 8- 501 of the UCC.
Section 2. “Financial Assets” Election. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (including any investment property, financial asset, security, instrument, general intangible or cash) credited to the Securities Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
Section 3. Control of the Securities Account. The Administrative Agent shall at all times have “control” (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) of the Securities Account; provided that

EXHIBIT C-1
NYI-4560690v8



unless and until delivery by the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, the Debtor shall have the right to write checks against and make withdrawals and transfers of amounts in the Securities Account. If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Administrative Agent directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Debtor or any other person. If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue entitlement orders and such orders conflict with any entitlement order issued by the Administrative Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall follow the orders issued by the Administrative Agent.
Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Securities Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Administrative Agent. The financial assets and other items deposited to the Securities Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Administrative Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary may set off (i) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Securities Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such Securities Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).
Section 5. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Securities Account shall each be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) and the Securities Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements.
(a)    In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail;
(b)    No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto;
(c)    The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:
(i) There are no other control agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary and the Debtor with respect to the Securities Account;
(ii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Securities Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) of such other person; and

EXHIBIT C-2
NYI-4560690v8



(iii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with the Debtor or the Administrative Agent purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 3 hereof.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT
This Deposit Account Control Agreement dated as of [________], 20[__] (this “Agreement”) among [________] (the “Debtor”), Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and [________], in its capacity as a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the “Financial Institution”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of December [__], 2013, among the Debtor, the other Grantors party thereto and the Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”). All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.
Section 1. Establishment of Deposit Account. The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:
(a)    The Financial Institution has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name “[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor account, the “Deposit Account”) and the Financial Institution shall not change the name or account number of the Deposit Account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, prior to delivery of a Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Debtor; and
(b)    The Deposit Account is a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9- 102(a)(29)of the UCC.
Section 2. Control of the Deposit Account. The Administrative Agent shall at all times have “control” (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) of the Deposit Account; provided that unless and until delivery by the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, the Debtor shall have the right to write checks against and make withdrawals and transfers of amounts in the Deposit Account. If at any time the Financial Institution shall receive any instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the Debtor or any other person. The Financial Institution hereby acknowledges that it has received notice of the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Deposit Account and hereby acknowledges and consents to such lien. If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue instructions and such instructions conflict with any instructions issued the Administrative Agent, the Financial Institution shall follow the instructions issued by the Administrative Agent.
Section 3. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Financial Institution has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Deposit Account or any funds credited thereto, the Financial Institution hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Administrative Agent. Money and other items credited to the Deposit Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Administrative Agent (except that the Financial Institution may set off (i) all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Deposit Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such Deposit Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).
Section 4. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Deposit Account shall each be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Financial Institution’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the Deposit Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Section 5. Conflict with Other Agreements.
(a)    In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail;
(b)    No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto; and
(c)    The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:
(i) There are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Debtor with respect to the Deposit Account [other than ________    ]; and
(ii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating the Deposit Account and/or any funds credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with instructions originated by such persons as contemplated by Section 9-104 of the UCC.
Section 6. Adverse Claims. The Financial Institution does not know of any liens, claims or encumbrances relating to the Deposit Account. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Debtor thereof.
Section 7. Maintenance of Deposit Account. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligation of the Financial Institution to honor instructions as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Financial Institution agrees to maintain the Deposit Account as follows:
(a)    Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Administrative Agent delivers to the Financial Institution a Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Financial Institution agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will take all instruction with respect to the Deposit Account solely from the Administrative Agent.
(b)    Statements and Confirmations.

(c)    Tax Reporting. All interest, if any, relating to the Deposit Account, shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Debtor.
(d)    Prior to Notice of Sole Control. Until such time as the Financial Institution receives a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 7, the Debtor may operate and transact business through the Deposit Account in its normal fashion, including making withdrawals from the Deposit Account.
Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Financial Institution.
