Any procedures or actions taken, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to verify Accounts by contacting Account Debtors, shall be effected by the Company's independent accountants, acting at the direction of the Collateral Agent, in such manner (consistent with their normal auditing procedures) so as not to reveal the identity of the Collateral Agent or the existence of the Security Interest to the Account Debtors. The Company will instruct its independent accountants to undertake any such verification when and as requested by the Collateral Agent, but no more than once in any calendar year, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          (b) In the event any portion of the Collateral suffers a casualty loss or is involved in any proceeding for condemnation or taking by any governmental authority, then, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered, at its option, to participate in, control, direct, adjust, settle and/or compromise any such loss or proceeding, to collect and receive the proceeds therefrom and, after deducting from such proceeds any expenses incurred by it in connection with the collection or handling thereof, to apply the net proceeds thereof to the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 8.4.

          (c) If any proceeds are received by the Collateral Agent as a result of a casualty, condemnation or taking involving the Collateral and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Collateral Agent will promptly release such proceeds to the applicable Grantor, unless the Credit Agreement provides otherwise.

     4.14 Protective Advances by the Collateral Agent. At its option, but without being obligated to do so, the Collateral Agent may, upon prior notice to any applicable Grantor, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) pay and discharge past due taxes, assessments and governmental charges, at any time levied on or with respect to any of the Collateral of such Grantor which such Grantor has failed to pay and discharge in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or any of the other Secured Creditor Documents, (b) pay and discharge any claims of other creditors of such Grantor which are secured by any Lien on any Collateral, other than a Permitted Lien, (c) pay for the maintenance, repair, restoration and preservation of the Collateral to the extent such Grantor fails to comply with its obligations in regard thereto under this Agreement and the other Secured Creditor Documents or the Collateral Agent reasonably believes payment of the same is necessary or appropriate to avoid a material loss or material diminution in value of the Collateral, and/or (d) obtain and pay the premiums on insurance for the Collateral which such Grantor fails to maintain in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the other Secured Creditor Documents, and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for all payments and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent with respect to such Grantor or any of its Collateral pursuant to the foregoing authorization, provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be construed as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor to cure or perform, any covenants or other agreements of any Grantor with respect to any of the foregoing matters as set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.

     4.15 Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, the recovery from which could reasonably be expected to exceed $500,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor, which sets forth the details thereof and grants to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Creditors) a Lien thereon and on the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

          (b) If a Grantor shall acquire (by purchase, conversion, exchange, stock dividend or otherwise) any additional Pledged Collateral, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof which is or are intended to be subjected to the Security Interest hereof and which is or are represented by certificates or instruments, such Grantor shall (i) promptly pledge and deposit with the Collateral Agent all such certificates or instruments, duly endorsed in blank in the case of Intercompany and Third Party Notes, and accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank by such Grantor or such other instruments of transfer as are acceptable to the Collateral Agent, in the case of Equity Interests, and (ii) promptly thereafter deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate executed by an authorized officer of such Grantor describing such additional Pledged Collateral and certifying that the same have been duly pledged with the Collateral Agent hereunder.

          (c) Perfection under Foreign Law.

Each Grantor further agrees to take such actions as the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing and to permit the Collateral Agent to

          (b) Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Collateral Agent liable as a general partner or limited partner of any Pledged Entity or a shareholder of any corporation, and the Collateral Agent by virtue of this Agreement or any actions taken as contemplated hereby (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall not have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a general partner or limited partner of any Pledged Entity or a stockholder of any corporation. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Collateral Agent shall become the absolute owner of an Equity Interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Collateral Agent and/or a Grantor or any other Person.

          (c) Except as provided in the last sentence of Section 6.2(b), the Collateral Agent, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to become a general partner, limited partner or member of any Pledged Entity or a shareholder of any corporation or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to any Grantor or any Pledged Entity or a shareholder of any corporation either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred.

     6.3 Registration of Collateral in the Name of the Collateral Agent, etc. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, subject only to the revocable voting and similar rights specified in this Article VI.

     6.5 Voting Rights. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights attaching to any and all

Pledged Collateral owned by it, and to give consents, waivers or ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or any consent, waiver or ratification given or any action taken which would violate, result in the breach of any covenant contained in or be inconsistent with, any of the terms of this Agreement, any other Secured Creditor Document or any Designated Hedge Document, or which would have the effect of materially impairing the position or interests of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Creditor therein. All such rights of such Grantor to vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications shall cease in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

     6.6 Entitlement of Grantors to Cash Dividends and Distributions. A Grantor shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends or distributions payable in respect of its Pledged Collateral, except as otherwise provided in this Article VI.

               (ii) all other or additional stock, other securities, partnership interests, membership interests or property (other than cash to which a Grantor is entitled under Section 6.6) paid or distributed by way of dividend (including, without limitation, any payment in kind dividend) or otherwise in respect of the Pledged Collateral;

               (iii) all other or additional stock, other securities, partnership interests, membership interests or property (including cash) paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral by way of stock-split, spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar rearrangement; and

               (iv) all other or additional stock, other securities, partnership interests or membership interests that may be paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral by reason of any consolidation, merger, exchange of stock, conveyance of assets, liquidation or similar corporate, partnership or limited liability company reorganization.

     6.8 Application of Dividends and Distributions. If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, the Collateral Agent will, at the request of the Company (on behalf of any applicable Grantor or Grantors), pay over to the Global Agent, for application to the payment or prepayment of any of the Secured Obligations, any cash held by it as Pledged Collateral which is attributable to dividends or distributions received by it and then held as part of the Collateral pursuant to this Article VI. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be

continuing, all dividends and distributions received by the Collateral Agent and then held by it pursuant to this Article VI as part of the Pledged Collateral will be applied as provided in Section 8.4.

     6.9 Turnover by Grantors. All dividends, distributions or other payments that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

     6.10 Registration under 1933 Act, etc. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and a Grantor shall have received from the Collateral Agent a written request or requests that such Grantor cause any registration, qualification or compliance under any Federal or state securities Law or Laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Equity Interests of its Subsidiaries, such Grantor as soon as practicable and at its sole expense will use its best efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use its best efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such stock, including, without limitation, registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as then in effect (the "Securities Act") (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities Laws and appropriate compliance with any other governmental requirements, provided that the Collateral Agent shall furnish to such Grantor such information regarding the Collateral Agent as such Grantor may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. The relevant Grantor will advise the Collateral Agent in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish to the Collateral Agent such number of prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident thereto as the Collateral Agent from time to time may reasonably request, and will indemnify the Collateral Agent and all others participating in the distribution of such Pledged Equity Interests against all claims, losses, damages or liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Grantor by the Collateral Agent expressly for use therein.

     6.11 Sale of Pledged Equity Interests in Connection with Enforcement. If at any time when the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to Section 8.1, and such Pledged Equity Interests or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, sell such Pledged Equity Interests or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without such registration, provided that at least 10 days' prior notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to the relevant Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in

any such event the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Equity Interests or part thereof shall have been filed under such Securities Act, (b) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale and (c) may 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 Pledged Equity Interests or part thereof. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability to any Grantor for selling all or any part of the Pledged Equity Interests at a price which the Collateral Agent may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until the registration as aforesaid.

Property, "Significant Intellectual Property"), or with respect to any party claiming that such Grantor's use of any Significant Intellectual Property violates any property right of that party, to the extent that such infringement or violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Grantor further agrees, unless otherwise directed by the Collateral Agent, diligently to prosecute any Person infringing any Significant Intellectual Property in a manner consistent with its past practice and in the ordinary course of business.

     7.6 Patents.

          (a) Maintenance of Patents. At its own expense, each Grantor shall make timely payment of all post-issuance fees required pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 41 to maintain in force rights under each Patent except if, in its reasonable judgment, such maintenance of such Patent is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business.

          (b) Prosecution of Patent Applications.

     7.7 Other Patents and Copyrights. If any Grantor acquires title to a United States Patent or Copyright, or files an application for a United States Patent or Copyright, such Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an updated Schedule 3.8, in accordance with Section 4.8(a) and a grant of security as to such Patent or Copyright, as the case may be, confirming the grant thereof hereunder, the form of such confirmatory grant to be substantially the same as the form hereof.

     7.8 Remedies Relating to Intellectual Property. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, by written notice to the relevant Grantor, take any or all of the following actions: (a) declare the entire right, title and interest of such Grantor in and to each of the owned Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks, together with all trademark rights and rights of protection to the same, vested, in which event such rights, title and interest shall immediately vest, in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in which case such Grantor agrees to execute an assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, of all its rights, title and interest in and to the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors; (b) take and practice or sell the Copyrights or Patents and take and use or sell the Trademarks owned by such Grantor and the goodwill of such Grantor's business symbolized by the Trademarks and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of the Grantor in connection with which the Trademarks have been used; and (c) direct such Grantor to refrain, in which event such Grantor shall refrain, from using the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks owned by such Grantor in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, execute such other and further documents that the Collateral Agent may request to further confirm the foregoing and to transfer ownership of the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks, and registrations, and any pending trademark application, to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors.

          (h) enter into any extension of, or any other agreement in any way relating to, any of the Collateral;

          (i) make any compromise or settlement the Collateral Agent deems desirable or necessary with respect to any of the Collateral; and/or

     8.2 Disposition of the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any Collateral repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 8.1 and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale of the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable Law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Except in the case of any Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is a of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, (a) in the case of any such disposition which shall be a private sale or other private proceedings permitted by such requirements, such sale shall be made upon not less than 10 days' prior written notice to such Grantor specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the 10 days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the relevant Grantor or any nominee of the relevant Grantor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration so specified, and (b) in the case of any such disposition which shall be a public sale permitted by such requirements, such sale shall be made upon not less than 10 days' prior written notice to the relevant Grantor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of Law, shall be by public auction (which may, at the Collateral Agent's sole option, be subject to reserve), after publication of notice of such auction not less than 10 days prior thereto in two newspapers in general circulation in the city where such Collateral is located. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of Law, the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors (or certain of them) may bid for and become the purchaser (by bidding in Secured Obligations or otherwise) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section without accountability to the relevant Grantor (except to the extent of surplus money received as provided in Section 8.4). Unless so obligated under mandatory requirements of applicable Law, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the relevant Grantor as hereinabove specified.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH THE GRANTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER

THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by Law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent's rights hereunder; and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable Law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such Laws to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law now or hereafter in effect. 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 relevant Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the relevant 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 and under the relevant Grantor.

     8.4 Application of Proceeds. All Collateral and proceeds of Collateral obtained and realized by the Collateral Agent in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement pursuant to this Article 8 shall be applied as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     8.5 Remedies Cumulative, etc. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Agreement, any Designated Hedge Agreement or the other Secured Creditor Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise of any other or others. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or partial or single exercise thereof, and no renewal or extension of any of the Secured Obligations, shall impair or constitute a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.

     8.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Grantor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Secured Obligations

shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

     8.7 Purchasers of Collateral. Upon any sale of any of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.
