Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Collateral for the purpose
of making such a verification; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent
shall give the applicable Grantor reasonable notice of proposed discussions with
such Grantor's accountants and representatives of such Grantor shall be entitled
to participate in such discussions. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute
right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification
with any Secured Party (it being understood that any such information shall be
deemed to be "Information" subject to the provisions of Section 9.16 of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).
SECTION 4.06. Taxes; Encumbrances. At its option and after notice to the
applicable Grantor, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes,
assessments, charges, fees, Liens,
11
Exhibit 10.2
security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the
Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of
the Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Grantor
jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any
payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.06
shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or
imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or
perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes,
assessments, charges, fees, liens, security interests or other encumbrances and
maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Credit Documents.
SECTION 4.07. Assignment of Security Interest. If at any time any Grantor
shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other
person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall
promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent. Such assignment
need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected
status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the
Account Debtor or other person granting the security interest.
SECTION 4.08. Continuing Obligations of the Grantors. Each Grantor shall
remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be
observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument
relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and
all liability for such performance.
SECTION 4.09. Limitation on Possession of Inventory by Bailee. Each Grantor
agrees that it shall not permit any Inventory to be in the possession or control
of any warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor at any time unless such
warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor shall have been notified of the
Security Interest and shall have agreed in writing to hold the Inventory subject
to the Security Interest and the instructions of the Collateral Agent and to
waive and release any Lien held by it with respect to such Inventory, whether
arising by operation of law or otherwise.
SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Modification of Accounts. None of the Grantors
will, without the Collateral Agent's prior written consent, grant any extension
of the time of payment of any of the Accounts Receivable, compromise, compound
or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or
partly, any person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or
discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, credits, discounts,
compromises or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of business
and in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries
that are the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged.
SECTION 4.11. Insurance. The Grantors, at their own expense, shall maintain
or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or damage to the
Inventory and Equipment in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and
appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or
12
Exhibit 10.2
agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful
agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event
of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral
under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check,
draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of
insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto.
In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or
maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium
in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or
releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Event of
Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance
and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the
Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in
connection with this Section 4.11, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court
costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon
demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 4.12. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Collateral.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any
of its licensees to, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent which
is material to the conduct of such Grantor's business may become invalidated or
dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to mark any products
covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient
to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws.
(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its
sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor's
business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of
abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and
services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice
of Federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to
establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable law and (iv) not
knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any
third party rights.
(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, for
each work covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish, reproduce,
display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as
necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under
applicable copyright laws.
(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent immediately if
it knows or has reason to know that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material
to the conduct of its business may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the
public, or of any adverse determination or development (including the
institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or
any court or similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor's ownership
of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to
keep and maintain the same.
(e) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any
agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for any Patent,
Trademark or Copyright (or for the
13
Exhibit 10.2
registration of any Trademark or Copyright) with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any
political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any
political subdivision thereof, unless it promptly informs the Collateral Agent,
and, upon request of the Collateral Agent, executes and delivers any and all
agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may
request to evidence the Collateral Agent's security interest in such Patent,
Trademark or Copyright, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as
its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings for the foregoing
purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such
power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.
(f) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are
consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent
and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in
any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any
political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each material application
relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the
relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each
registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of
any Grantor's business, including timely filings of applications for renewal,
affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance
fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition,
interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.
(g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any
Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the
conduct of any Grantor's business has been or is about to be infringed,
misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor promptly shall notify
the Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment,
promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any
and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take
such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
Collateral.
(h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
Grantor shall use its best efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals
by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License
to effect the assignment of all of such Grantor's right, title and interest
thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.
(i) Each Grantor shall ensure that fully executed security
agreements in the form hereof and containing a description of all Collateral
consisting of Intellectual Property shall have been received and recorded within
three months after the execution of this Agreement with respect to United States
Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United
States registration applications are pending) and United States registered
Copyrights have been delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording by the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. (S) 261, 15 U.S.C. (S) 1060 or 17 U.S.C. (S) 205 and the
regulations thereunder, as applicable, and otherwise as may be required pursuant
to the laws of any other necessary jurisdiction, to protect the validity of and
to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the
Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of
all Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and registered Copyrights in
which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration
in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories
and
14
Exhibit 10.2
possessions, or in any other necessary jurisdiction, and no further or
subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or
reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect
the Security Interest with respect to any Collateral consisting of Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights (or registration or application for registration
thereof) acquired or developed after the date hereof).
ARTICLE V
Power of Attorney
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the
Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the
Collateral Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact,
and in such capacity the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of
substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor's name or otherwise, for the
use and benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (a) to receive,
endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts,
money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any
part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and
give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the
name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the
Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account
Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings
at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or
otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in
respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend
any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g)
to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment
directly to the Collateral Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer,
pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of
the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral
Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or
obligating the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to make any commitment or
to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by
the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, or to present or file any claim or
notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof
or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered
thereby, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give
rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of any Grantor or to any
claim or action against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. It is
understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent
and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set forth above is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall in no
event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other
Credit Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any
obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to proceed in any
particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any
way limit the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any other
or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter,
whether hereunder, under any other Credit Document, by law or otherwise.
15
Exhibit 10.2
ARTICLE VI
Remedies
SECTION 6.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of
Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following
actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Collateral
consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest
to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such
Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to license or
sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive
or nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms
and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other
than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that
waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) with or without legal process and with or
without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the
Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the
Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing
the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the
Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of
applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the
Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the
Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be
authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that
they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any
such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and
deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from
any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal
which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors 10 days' written notice (which
each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-504(3)
of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent's intention to make
any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state
the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's board
or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such
sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will
first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall
be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place
or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of
such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may
be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral
Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale of any
16
Exhibit 10.2
Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that
notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent
may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause
the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time
and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any
part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral
so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by
the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur
any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and
pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral
may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted
by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid
for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of
redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said
rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law),
the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on
account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party
from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party
may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes
hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof
shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry
out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the
return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding
the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an
agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations
paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred
upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity
to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent
jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
SECTION 6.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral
consisting of cash, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such
hereunder or under any other Credit Document) in connection with such
collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of
the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its
agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the
Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document on behalf of
any Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the
exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit
Document;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so
applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance
with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such
distribution); and
THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
17
Exhibit 10.2
The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of
application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this
Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including
pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding),
the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of 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 thereof.
SECTION 6.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the
purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under
this Article at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral
Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of
royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sub-license
any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and 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 software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent
shall be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license,
sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in
accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any
subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
ARTICLE VII
Miscellaneous
SECTION 7.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall
(except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as

to it at its address or telecopy number set forth on Schedule I, with a copy to
the Borrower.
SECTION 7.02. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantors

other Credit Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or
any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all

non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or
waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or
guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement (other than indefeasible
payment in full of all Obligations and termination of all commitments of the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks).
18
Exhibit 10.2
SECTION 7.03. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by any Grantor herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, and
the execution and delivery to the Lenders of any notes evidencing such Loans,
regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and
shall continue in full force and effect until this Agreement shall terminate.
SECTION 7.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall
become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf
of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent,
and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and
their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such
Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the
Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as
expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with
respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or
released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor
and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 7.05. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements
by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
successors and assigns.
SECTION 7.06. Collateral Agent's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay upon demand
to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including
the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of its counsel and of any
experts or agents, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i)
the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or
the sale of, collection from or other realization upon any of the Collateral,
(iii) the exercise, enforcement or protection of any of the rights of the
Collateral Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure of any Grantor to perform or
observe any of the provisions hereof.
(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under
the other Credit Documents, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to
indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees against, and hold each
of them harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of
counsel, incurred by or asserted against any of them arising out of, in any way
connected with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of
this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating
hereto or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
19
Exhibit 10.2
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be
additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The
provisions of this Section 7.06 shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due
under this Section 7.06 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
SECTION 7.07. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD
TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
SECTION 7.08. Waivers; Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay of the Collateral Agent in exercising any
power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and of the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the other Credit
Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b), and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any
case shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with
respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to
any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS. EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY
20
Exhibit 10.2
WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.09.
SECTION 7.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby
(it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that
of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute but one contract (subject to Section 7.04), and
shall become effective as provided in Section 7.04. Delivery of an executed
signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
SECTION 7.12. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for
the purpose of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to
affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting,
this Agreement.
SECTION 7.13. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Grantor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to
the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of
the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the
Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents against any Grantor or its properties in the courts
of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.
21
Exhibit 10.2
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 7.14. Termination; Release of Collateral. (a) This Agreement and the
Security Interest shall terminate when all the Obligations (other than inchoate
rights to indemnification and reimbursement) have been indefeasibly paid in
full, the Lenders have no further commitment to lend, the L/C Exposure has been
reduced to zero and the Issuing Bank has no further commitment to issue Letters
of Credit under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, at which time the
Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors'
expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar
documents which the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents
pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Collateral Agent. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from
its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released in the event that all the
capital stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of to a person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower in
accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; provided
that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such sale, transfer or other
disposition (to the extent required by the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.
(b) In the event any Collateral is sold or transferred in an Asset
Sale or other transaction permitted by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
or is to be subject to a Lien permitted by Section 6.02(i) of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall (i) concurrently with
the consummation of such Asset Sale or other transaction release the Collateral
that is subject of such sale or transfer free and clear of the Lien and security
interest under this Agreement, or (ii) in connection with a financing
contemplated by Sections 6.01 and 6.02(i) of the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, at the request of the lender providing the financing and at such
lender's election, either (A) subordinate the Lien and security interest under
this Agreement on any assets being financed to the Lien and security interest of
such lender pursuant to an intercreditor and/or subordination agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to such lender, the Administrative Agent and the
Grantor, or (B) release the Lien and security interest under this Agreement on
any such assets to the extent required by such lender. In connection with any
release or subordination pursuant to this Section 7.14(b), the Administrative
Agent shall execute and deliver, at the Grantors' expense, any Uniform
Commercial Code termination statements or other documents necessary to effect
and evidence such release or subordination as may be reasonably requested by the
Grantors.
SECTION 7.15. Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, each Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower that was
not in existence or not a Subsidiary on the date of the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Agreement as a Grantor upon
becoming a Subsidiary. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a
Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 2 hereto, such Subsidiary shall
become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named
as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not
require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each
Grantor
22
Exhibit 10.2
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of
any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.16. Certain Other Rights and Waivers. (a) The Grantors authorize
the Collateral Agent, without notice or demand and without affecting their
liability hereunder, from time to time, either before or after revocation
hereof, to (i) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change the
time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness or any
part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon;
(ii) receive and hold security for the payment of the Obligations, and exchange,
enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any such
security; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale
thereof as the Collateral Agent in its discretion may determine; and (iv)
release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or guarantors.
(b) The Grantors waive any right to require the Collateral Agent to
(i) proceed against the Borrower; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security
held from the Borrower; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Collateral
Agent's power whatsoever. The Grantors waive any defense arising by reason of
any disability or other defense of the Borrower, or the cessation from any cause
whatsoever of the liability of the Borrower, or any claim that the Grantors'
obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower. Until the
indebtedness shall have been paid in full, even though the indebtedness is in
excess of the Grantors' liability hereunder, the Grantors will not pursue any
right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution
(contractual, statutory, or otherwise) including, without limitation, any claim
or right of subrogation under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code)
or any successor statute, arising from the existence or performance of this
Agreement, and until such payment in full, the Grantors will not pursue any
right to enforce any remedy which the Collateral Agent and the Lenders now have
or may hereafter have against the Borrower and will not pursue any benefit of,
and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the
Collateral Agent. The Grantors waive all presentments, demands for performance,
notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor,
and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation, or
incurring of new or additional indebtedness.
(c) (i) The Grantors understand and acknowledge that if the Collateral
Agent forecloses, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of
sale, any deed of trust securing the Obligations, that foreclosure could impair
or destroy any ability that the Grantors may have to seek reimbursement,
contribution, or indemnification from the Borrower or others based on any right
the Grantors may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or
indemnification for any amounts paid by the Grantors under this Agreement. The
Grantors further understand and acknowledge that in the absence of this
paragraph, such potential impairment or destruction of the Grantors' rights, if
any, may entitle the Grantors to assert a defense to this Agreement based on
Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union
Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968). By executing this Agreement, the
Grantors freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (A) waive and relinquish that
defense and agree that the Grantors will be fully liable under this Agreement
even though the Collateral Agent may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure
or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust securing the Obligations; (B)
agree that the Grantors will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding
which the Collateral Agent may commence to enforce this Agreement; (C)
acknowledge and agree that the rights and defenses waived by the Grantors in
23
Exhibit 10.2
this Agreement include any right or defense that the Grantors may have or be
entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of Sections
580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledge and
agree that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders are relying on this waiver in
creating the indebtedness, and that this waiver is a material part of the
consideration which the Collateral Agent and the Lenders are receiving for
creating the indebtedness.
(ii) The Grantors waive any rights and defenses that are or may
become available to the Grantors by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive,
of the California Civil Code.
(iii) The Grantors waive all rights and defenses that the
Grantors may have because any of the indebtedness is secured by real property.
This means, among other things: (A) the Collateral Agent may collect from the
Grantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral
pledged by the Borrower; and (B) if the Collateral Agent forecloses on any real
property collateral pledged by the Borrower: (x) the amount of the indebtedness
may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the
foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and
(y) the Collateral Agent may collect from the Grantors even if the Collateral
Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right
the Grantors may have to collect from the Borrower. This is an unconditional and
irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Grantors may have because any
of the indebtedness is secured by real property. These rights and defenses
include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a,
580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(iv) The Grantors waive any right or defense they may have at
law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, to a
fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a
foreclosure.
(v) No provision or waiver in this Agreement shall be construed
as limiting the generality of any other waiver contained in this Agreement.
(d) The Grantors acknowledge and agree that they shall have the sole
responsibility for obtaining from the Borrower such information concerning the
Borrower's financial conditions or business operations as the Grantors may
require, and that the Collateral Agent has no duty at any time to disclose to
the Grantors any information relating to the business operations or financial
conditions of the Borrower.
SECTION 7.17. Confirmation. For avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto
agree that on the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date, the
security interests granted and the Liens created by the Original Security
Agreement shall continue, uninterrupted, in full force and effect under and as
amended by this Agreement.

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement and the

induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of
Credit. Section 7.15 of Security Agreement provides that additional Domestic
Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by
execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The
undersigned Domestic Subsidiary (the "New Grantor") is executing this Supplement
in accordance with the requirements of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders
to make additional Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue additional Letters of
Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit
previously issued.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.15 of the Security Agreement,
the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security
Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a
Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of
the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b)
represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a
Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In
furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and
performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement),
does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and
assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a
security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor's right, title and
interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the
New Grantor. Each
1
reference to a "Grantor" in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include
the New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by
reference.
SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral
Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken
together, bear the signatures of the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent.

transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart
of this Supplement.

location of any and all Collateral of the New Grantor other than (i) Collateral
which is in transit between facilities, whether in vehicles owned by the
applicable Grantor or on common carriers and (ii) Collateral which is located in
temporary warehousing and will remain in such warehousing for no longer than one

ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES

Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the
validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing
and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Security Agreement. All
communications and notices hereunder to the New Grantor shall be given to it at
