5.14 Authorizations with Respect to Financing Statements, etc. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as “all assets” of a Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to such Grantor, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating any Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Collateral relates.

Any sums paid upon or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any of the Pledged Collateral, any distribution of capital made on or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or any Property distributed upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any issuer of Pledged Collateral or pursuant to the reorganization thereof in excess of $50,000 shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor. If any sums of money or Property so paid or distributed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or Property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or Property in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor.

EXHIBIT 99.4

(e) In the case of each Grantor which is an issuer of Pledged Collateral, such Grantor agrees to be bound by the terms of this Security Agreement relating to the Pledged Collateral issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it. In the case of each Grantor which is a partner in a partnership, such Grantor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable partnership agreement to the pledge by each other Grantor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the pledged partnership interests in such partnership and to the transfer of such pledged partnership interests to the Collateral Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a substituted partner in such partnership with all the rights, powers and duties of a general partner or a limited partner, as the case may be. In the case of each Grantor which is a member of a limited liability company, such Grantor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable limited liability company agreement to the pledge by each other Grantor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the pledged limited liability company interests in such limited liability company and to the transfer of such pledged limited liability company interests to the Collateral Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a substituted member of the limited liability company with all the rights, powers and duties of a member of the limited liability company in question.
 
(f) No Grantor shall (i) agree to any provision in, or amendment of, a limited liability company agreement or partnership agreement that adversely affects the perfection of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any pledged partnership interests or pledged limited liability company interests pledged by such Grantor hereunder, including electing to treat the membership interest or partnership interest of such Grantor as a security under Section 8-103 of the UCC (it being understood that Wellspring Productions LLC already has made such election) or (ii) authorize the issuance of or issue certificates evidencing any limited liability company interests pledged by such Grantor hereunder where such interests are securities (as defined in the UCC) and the relevant Grantor has not delivered such certificate to the Collateral Agent.
 
5.19 Compliance With Terms of Accounts, Etc. In all material respects, each Grantor shall promptly perform and comply with all obligations in respect of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Contracts, Documents, Instruments and licenses and all other agreements to which it is a party or by which it is bound; provided, however, that such Grantor may suspend its performance thereunder in the event of a bona fide dispute or material breach of any such obligations by third parties or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
SECTION 6. The Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
 
(a) From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent, and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, from time to time at the Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do the following:

EXHIBIT 99.4

(i) ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all monies due or to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of such Grantor, in its own name or otherwise to take possession of, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of monies due under any Collateral and to file any claim or to take or commence any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such monies due under any Collateral whenever payable;
 
(ii) pay or discharge any Liens, including, without limitation, any tax Lien, levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof, which actions shall be for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and not such Grantor; and
 
(iii) (1) direct any Person liable for any payment under or in respect of any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct, (2) receive payment of any and all monies, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time arising out of or in respect of any Collateral, (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other Instruments and Documents constituting or relating to the Collateral, (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (6) settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate, (7) sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
 
(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and ratifies, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Rules, all that the Collateral Agent as said attorney in fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are completely and indefeasibly paid and performed in full.

17

EXHIBIT 99.4

(c) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s, the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, including any responsibility for (i) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral or (ii) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as any Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such requests at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to a Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(d) Each Grantor also authorizes the Collateral Agent, at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, to (i) communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Grantor in and under the Contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (ii) execute, in connection with the sale of Collateral provided for in Section 7 below, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
 
(e) If a Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Collateral Agent, as provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate of interest equal to the Default Rate, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent within five (5) Business Days of demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations secured hereby.

EXHIBIT 99.4

SECTION 7. Rights and Remedies Upon Default.
 
(a) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable Governmental Rules, including, without limitation, the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent not prohibited by the UCC and other applicable Governmental Rules), shall have the right to collect the Proceeds from all Collateral (including, without limitation, Distributions on Pledged Collateral) and may (i) reclaim, take possession, recover, store, maintain, finish, repair, prepare for sale or lease, ship, advertise for sale or lease and sell or lease (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral, and in connection with liquidation of the Collateral and collection of the accounts receivable pledged as Collateral, use, without charge, any trademark, trade name, trade style, copyright, or process used or owned by such Grantor; (ii) forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk and (iii) exercise (A) all voting, consent, corporate and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any issuer of Pledged Collateral, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent, on the terms set forth in this Section 7, to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any Lien which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, appears to be prior or superior to its security interest. The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Rules, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption such Grantor hereby releases. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral and may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, which procedures shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.

19

EXHIBIT 99.4

The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale as provided in Section 7(g), below, the Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of applicable Governmental Rules, including Section 9-608(a)(1)(C) of the UCC (or any other then applicable provision of the UCC), need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to a Grantor. To the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Rules, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent need not give more than ten (10) days’ prior written notice (which notification shall be deemed given in accordance with the Credit Agreement) of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent and the Lenders are entitled, and the Grantors shall also be liable for the attorneys’ fees or costs of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
 
(b) As to any Collateral constituting certificated securities or uncertificated securities, if, at any time when the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of such Collateral hereunder, such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (as so amended the “Act”), the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of applicable Governmental Rules), sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 7(b), and shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, (i) in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Act; (ii) approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii) restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 7(b), if any of such Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act at the time of any proposed sale hereunder, then the Collateral Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but may, in its sole discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of Governmental Rules), require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to such restrictions as the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other Governmental Rules affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

20

EXHIBIT 99.4

In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all Distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all such proxies, Distribution payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request (each effective only if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall terminate upon the earlier of the payment in full of the Secured Obligations or the cure of the Event of Default. Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any Distributions or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the relevant Grantor has received written notice of the Collateral Agent’s election to collect any such payments.
 
(c) Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of such Collateral, whether at a foreclosure sale or otherwise, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Governmental Rules (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority, and such Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable nor accountable to Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
 
(d) Each Grantor also agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.

21

EXHIBIT 99.4

(e) Each Grantor hereby waives presentment, protest or any notice or demand not provided for herein (to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Rules) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
 
(f) Each Grantor agrees that a material uncured breach of any covenants contained in this Section 7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that in such event the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders would have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that in such event each and every covenant contained in this Section 7 shall be specifically enforceable against a Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable.
 
(g) . The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in the order of priority set forth in Section 6.02(b) of the Credit Agreement.
 
SECTION 8. Limitation on the Collateral Agent’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under Section 9-207 of the UCC (or any other then applicable provision of the UCC).
 
SECTION 9. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against a Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should such Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Grantor’s Property, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Governmental Rules, 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.
