(iii)          Grantors acknowledge and agree that the Secured Parties shall have no duties (other than those expressly set forth herein) with respect to any Intellectual Property or Licenses of any Grantor.  Without limiting the generality of this Section 6(i)(iii), Grantors acknowledge and agree that no member of the Secured Parties shall be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or Licenses against any other Person, but any Secured Party may do so at its option if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and all reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be for the sole account of the Borrowers and shall be chargeable to the Loan Account.
 
(iv)          Each Grantor shall promptly file an application with the United States Copyright Office for any Copyright that has not been registered with the United States Copyright Office if such Copyright is material to the operation of the business of such Grantor in the good faith determination of such Grantor.  Any expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing shall be borne by the Grantors.
14

 
(v)          On each date on which financial statements are delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii) of the Financing Agreement, each Grantor shall provide the Collateral Agent with a written report of all new Patents or Trademarks that are registered or the subject of pending applications for registrations, and of all Licenses that are material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, in each case, which were acquired, registered, or for which applications for registration were filed by any Grantor during the prior period and any statement of use or amendment to allege use with respect to intent-to-use trademark applications.  In each of the foregoing cases, the applicable Grantor shall promptly cause to be prepared and delivered to the Collateral Agent supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to identify such Patent and Trademark registrations and applications therefor (with the exception of Trademark applications filed on an intent-to-use basis for which no statement of use or amendment to allege use has been filed) and Licenses as being subject to the security interests created thereunder.
 
(vi)          Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee, file an application for the registration of any material Copyright with the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in another country without giving the Collateral Agent written notice thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to such filing and complying with Section 6(i)(i) hereof. Upon receipt from the United States Copyright Office of notice of registration of any material Copyright, each Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following such receipt) notify (but without duplication of any notice required by Section 6(h)(v) hereof) the Collateral Agent of such registration and delivering, or causing to be delivered, to the Collateral Agent, documentation reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent and sufficient to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Copyright.  If any Grantor acquires from any Person any Copyright registered with the United States Copyright Office material to its business or an application to register any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office material to its business, such Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than the later of (x) ten (10) Business Days following such acquisition and (y) the time period set forth in Section 7.01(b) of the Financing Agreement) notify the Collateral Agent of such acquisition and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Collateral Agent, documentation reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent and sufficient to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Copyright.
 
(vii)          Each Grantor shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of, and otherwise protect and enforce its rights in, the material Intellectual Property that is necessary in the conduct of such Grantor’s business.

(l)          Control.  Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, each Grantor hereby agrees to promptly take any or all action that is necessary or reasonably desirable or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order for the Collateral Agent to obtain control in accordance with Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the Code with respect to the following Collateral:  (i) Deposit Accounts constituting Collateral, (ii) Electronic Chattel Paper constituting Collateral, (iii) Investment Property constituting Collateral and (iv) Letter-of-Credit Rights constituting Collateral.  Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that any agent or designee of the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be a “secured party” with respect to the Collateral under the control of such agent or designee for all purposes.
 
(m)          [Intentionally omitted].
 
(n)          Partnership and Limited Liability Company Interest.  Except with respect to Collateral consisting of partnership interests and membership interests evidenced by a certificate, which certificate has been pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4 hereof, no Grantor that is a partnership or a limited liability company shall, nor shall any Grantor with any Subsidiary that is a partnership or a limited liability company, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, permit such partnership interests or membership interests to (i) be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (ii) become a security for purposes of Article 8 of any relevant Uniform Commercial Code, (iii) become an investment company security within the meaning of Section 8-103 of any relevant Uniform Commercial Code or (iv) be evidenced by a certificate.  Each Grantor agrees that such uncertificated partnership interests or membership interests shall constitute General Intangibles.

(a)          So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
 
(i)          each Grantor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any Pledged Interests for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (A) each Grantor will give the Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material respect the value, liquidity or marketability of any Collateral constituting Pledged Interests or the creation, perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s Lien (subject to Permitted Liens); and (B) none of the Grantors will exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if the Collateral Agent gives a Grantor notice that, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, such action (or inaction) could reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material respect the value, liquidity or marketability of any Collateral constituting Pledged Interests or the creation, perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s Lien (subject to Permitted Liens); and

(b)          If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

(ii)          the Collateral Agent is authorized to notify each debtor with respect to the Pledged Debt to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent (or its designee) and may collect any and all moneys due or to become due to any Grantor in respect of the Pledged Debt, and each of the Grantors hereby authorizes each such debtor to make such payment directly to the Collateral Agent (or its designee) without any duty of inquiry;
17

 
(iii)          without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of any Pledged Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledged Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Interests, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Interests with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and

SECTION 8.          Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.
 
(a)          To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any action that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, each Grantor hereby (i) authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute any such agreements, instruments or other documents in such Grantor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents in such Grantor’s name and in any appropriate filing office, (ii)  authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such financing statements that (A) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” (or words of similar effect) or that describe or identify the Collateral by type or in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, regardless of whether any particular asset of such Grantor falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Code or whether any particular asset of such Grantor constitutes part of the Collateral (but excluding Excluded Property), and (B) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including, without limitation, whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor) and (iii) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Collateral Agent has filed any such financing statements, continuation statements, or amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof.  A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
18

 
(b)          Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its 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, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any action and to execute any instrument (in each case, subject to applicable laws) that the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of a Grantor under Section 6 hereof and Section 7(a) hereof), including, without limitation, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Financing Agreement, (ii) to ask, 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 Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to receive, indorse and collect all Instruments made payable to such Grantor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of any Pledged Interests and to give full discharge for the same, (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to any Collateral, (vi) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to any Collateral, (vii) to pay or discharge taxes or 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 Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) in its reasonable discretion, and such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become Obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand, and (viii) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts, Chattel Paper and other documents relating to the Collateral.  This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Termination Date.
19

 
(c)          For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies hereunder during a continuing Event of Default, at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies during a continuing Event of Default, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby (i) grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned by any Grantor, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable 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 thereof; and (ii) assigns to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, all of its rights to any Intellectual Property now or hereafter licensed or used by any Grantor.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Financing Agreement that limit the right of a Grantor to dispose of its property and Section 6(i) hereof, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business.  In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of a Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, which such Grantor shall have certified are appropriate (in such Grantor’s judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to this clause (c) as to any Intellectual Property).  Further, upon the Termination Date, the Collateral Agent (subject to Section 13(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to the Grantors all of the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, and the Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever and at the Grantors’ sole expense.  The exercise of rights and remedies hereunder by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by any Grantor in accordance with the second sentence of this clause (c).  Each Grantor hereby releases the Collateral Agent from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(d)          If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent, and the reasonable and documented expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be jointly and severally payable by the Grantors pursuant to Section 10 hereof and shall be secured by the Collateral.
20

 
(e)          The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty 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 and shall be relieved of all responsibility for any Collateral in its possession upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to any of the Grantors (or whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct). The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters.  The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the 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.
 
(f)          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i) each Grantor shall remain liable under the Licenses and otherwise in respect of the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its obligations under the Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under the Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
 
(g)          If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may at any time (i) without notice to any Grantor, transfer or register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Interests, and (ii) exchange certificates or Instruments constituting Pledged Interests for certificates or Instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

SECTION 9.          Remedies Upon Default.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
 
(a)          The Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may in accordance with applicable law (including, to the extent applicable, foreign law) (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Collateral Agent’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Collateral Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Collateral Agent may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by any Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to any Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.  Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the applicable Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) 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 hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Lenders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that such Grantor may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof.  Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent shall be made without warranty, (ii) the Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, (iii) the Collateral Agent may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness), if permitted by law, for the purchase, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the account of the Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Lenders) and (iv) such actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of the Collateral.  In addition to the foregoing, (i) upon written notice to any Grantor from the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), each Grantor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright similar thereto for any purpose described in such notice; (ii) the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may, at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) days’ prior notice to any Grantor, license (subject to any such licensee’s obligation to maintain the quality of goods and/or services provided under any Trademark consistent with the quality of such good and/or services provide by such Grantor immediately prior to the Event of Default), whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts); and (iii) the Collateral Agent may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Section 8 hereof (such authority being effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of a Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property (or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts).
22

 
(b)          [Intentionally omitted].
 
(c)          Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged Interests and that the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities 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 to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
(d)          Any cash held by the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), be held by the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations as set forth in Section 4.03(b) of the Financing Agreement.  Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) and remaining after the Termination Date shall be paid over to the Borrowers (or their successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
 
(e)          In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Loan Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
 
(f)          Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent complies with any applicable requirements of law in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.
 
(g)          The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.  To the extent that any Grantor lawfully may, such Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
23

 
(h)          Each Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally, subject to applicable law:
 
(i)          consents to the appointment of pre-judgment and/or post-judgment receiver with all of the same powers that would otherwise be available to the Grantors, including, but not limited to the power to (A) hold, manage, control or dispose of the Collateral wherever located, (B) take any action with respect to the Collateral to the maximum extent permitted by law and (C) conduct a public or private sale of any or all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to such Collateral, including any disposition of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent/Lenders in exchange for cancellation of all or a portion of the Obligations;
 
(ii)          consents that any such receiver can be appointed without a hearing or prior notice to the Grantors;
 
(iii)          agrees not to oppose or otherwise interfere (directly or indirectly) with any effort by Collateral Agent to seek the appointment of a receiver;
 
(iv)          waives any right to demand that a bond be posted in connection with the appointment of any such receiver; and
 
(v)          waives any right to appeal the entry of an order authorizing the appointment of a receiver.
 
SECTION 10.          Indemnity and Expenses.
 
(a)          Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) incurred by the any Agent or its Indemnitee to the extent set forth in Section 12.15 of the Financing Agreement.
 
(b)          Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay to the any Agent the reasonable costs and expenses of the such Agent specified in Section 12.04 of the Financing Agreement, as set forth in Section 12.04 of the Financing Agreement.
 
SECTION 11.          Notices, Etc.  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 12.01 of the Financing Agreement.
24

 
SECTION 12.          Security Interest Absolute; Joint and Several Obligations.
 
(a)          All rights of the Secured Parties, all Liens and all obligations of each of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (iv) to the extent permitted under applicable law, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any of the Grantors in respect of the Secured Obligations.  All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
 
(b)          Each Grantor hereby waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by the Borrowers, (iii) notice of any actions taken by any Secured Party, any Guarantor or any other Person under any Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument relating thereto, (iv) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this subsection (b), might constitute grounds for relieving such Grantor of any such Grantor’s obligations hereunder and (v) any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or other lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Grantor or any other Person or any collateral.
 
(c)          All of the obligations of the Grantors hereunder are joint and several.  The Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, enforce the provisions hereof against any of the Grantors and shall not be required to proceed against all Grantors jointly or seek payment from the Grantors ratably.  In addition, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, select the Collateral of any one or more of the Grantors for sale or application to the Secured Obligations, without regard to the ownership of such Collateral, and shall not be required to make such selection ratably from the Collateral owned by all of the Grantors.  The release or discharge of any Grantor by the Collateral Agent shall not release or discharge any other Grantor from the obligations of such Person hereunder.
 
SECTION 13.          Miscellaneous.
 
(a)          No amendment of any provision of this Agreement (including any Schedule attached hereto) shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor affected thereby and the Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
25

 
(b)          No failure on the part of the Secured Parties 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 Secured Parties 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.  The rights of the Secured Parties under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, any Grantor.
 
(c)          This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date, and (ii) be binding on each Grantor, and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, permitted transferees and permitted assigns.  Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Secured Parties may assign or otherwise transfer their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 12.07 of the Financing Agreement, and such permitted transferee shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents.  Upon any such assignment or transfer in accordance with Section 12.07 of the Financing Agreement, all references in this Agreement to any Secured Party shall mean such permitted assignee of any such Secured Party.  None of the rights or obligations of any Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, and any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void.
 
(d)          Upon the Termination Date, subject to paragraph (e) below, (i) this Agreement and the security interests and licenses created hereby shall terminate and be released and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors, and (ii) the Collateral Agent will, upon the Grantors’ request and at the Grantors’ expense, without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, (A) return to the Grantors (or whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct) such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, (B) execute and deliver to the Grantors such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and release (including, without limitation, Code termination statements, US Patent and Trademark Office releases and US Copyright Office releases).  If any of the Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Financing Agreement, then the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement in such Collateral shall be released, and the Collateral Agent, upon such Grantor’s request and at such Grantor’s expense, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral.  Upon the receipt of any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Administrative Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement or the Financing Agreement.
26

 
(e)          This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
 
(f)          Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental Schedules I-XI attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I-XI, respectively, hereto, and the Collateral Agent may attach such Schedules as supplements to such Schedules, and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules, as supplemented pursuant hereto.
 
(g)          THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY AND PERFECTION OR THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREBY, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
 
(h)          EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT TO OR OTHERWISE CONTEST THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.  EACH GRANTOR (i) GRANTS SUCH WAIVER AND CONSENTS KNOWINGLY AFTER HAVING DISCUSSED THE IMPLICATIONS THEREOF WITH COUNSEL, (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) THE UNCONTESTED RIGHT TO HAVE A RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR THE FOREGOING PURPOSES IS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL BY THE SECURED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF THEIR RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE OTHER DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, AND (B) THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH APPOINTMENT AS A REMEDY UNDER THE FOREGOING CIRCUMSTANCES WAS A MATERIAL FACTOR IN INDUCING THE SECURED PARTIES TO MAKE (AND COMMIT TO MAKE) THE LOAN TO THE BORROWERS, AND (iii) AGREES TO ENTER INTO ANY AND ALL STIPULATIONS IN ANY LEGAL ACTIONS, OR AGREEMENTS OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING AND TO COOPERATE FULLY WITH THE AGENTS OR LENDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ASSUMPTION AND EXERCISE OF CONTROL BY THE RECEIVER OVER ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE COLLATERAL.
27

 
(i)          In addition to and without limitation of any of the foregoing, this Agreement shall be deemed to be a Loan Document and shall otherwise be subject to all of terms and conditions contained in Sections 12.10 and 12.11 of the Financing Agreement, mutatis mutandi.
 
(j)          Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to this Agreement any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
 
(k)          Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
(l)          Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
 
(m)          This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.

SECTION 6.          Governing Law.  This Security Agreement Supplement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
 
SECTION 7.          Loan Document.  In addition to and without limitation of any of the foregoing, this Security Agreement Supplement shall be deemed to be a Loan Document and shall otherwise be subject to all of terms and conditions contained in Sections 12.10 and 12.11 of the Financing Agreement, mutatis mutandi.
