(ii) All dividends, principal and interest payments and other distributions which are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of Section 6(b)(i) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). (c) In the event that all or any part of the securities or instruments constituting the Collateral are lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken while such securities or instruments are in the possession of the Administrative Agent, the Grantors shall cause the delivery of new securities or instruments in place of the lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken securities or instruments upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent without the necessity of any indemnity bond or other security other than the Secured Parties' agreement or indemnity therefor customary for security agreements similar to this Security Agreement. (d) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent such Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time at any time when an Event of Default exists, in the Administrative Agent's discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation: 12 (i) to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, and to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other chattel paper, instruments and documents in connection therewith, (ii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties with respect to any of the Collateral, and (iii) to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Grantor representing any dividend, principal payment, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. The powers granted to the Administrative Agent under this Section constitute a power coupled with an interest which shall be irrevocable by such Grantor and shall survive until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all commitments to lend in respect of the Obligations have been terminated. (e) If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantors under Section 9. (f) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property. 7. Remedies upon Default (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each of the Grantors shall deliver each item of Collateral to the Administrative Agent on demand, and the Administrative Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to any other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the NYUCC or the UCC of any jurisdiction in which the Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right, 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 for that purpose the Administrative Agent may, so far as the Grantors can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the Collateral therefrom) and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Grantors agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of 13 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 Lender shall deem appropriate. 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 of the Grantors hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation 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. (b) Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Administrative Agent shall give to the Borrower at least ten Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that ten Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. Each Grantor hereby waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Secured Parties' rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Administrative Agent following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise the Secured Parties' rights with respect thereto. (c) Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall reasonably determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Secured Parties 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 applicable law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released), 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, (i) a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof, (ii) such Secured Party shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and (iii) none of the Grantors shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after such Secured Party shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full in cash and all commitments to lend in respect of the Obligations terminated. As an 14 alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Secured Parties may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral 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. (d) Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 shall be deemed to conform to commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610 of the NYUCC or the UCC of any other jurisdiction in which Collateral is located or any other requirement of applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor agrees and acknowledges that, to the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, it shall be commercially reasonable for the Secured Parties to do any or all of the following: (i) fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Secured Parties to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw materials or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral, (iv) exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) dispose of Collateral utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) disclaim dispositions of warranties, (x) purchase (or fail to purchase) insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Parties against risk of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Parties a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xi) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 7 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantors or to impose any duties on the Secured Parties that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or applicable law in the absence of this Section 7 and the parties hereto acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 7 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties would be deemed commercially reasonable in the exercise by the Secured Parties of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being set forth in this Section 7. (e) For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sub-license any of the Collateral consisting of 15 licensed Intellectual Property not owned by such Grantor, so long as such right to use, license or sub-license does not cause a termination or breach of such licensed Intellectual Property, now held 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. Each Grantor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the Administrative Agent's right to use, license or sub-license the licensed Intellectual Property contemplated in the preceding sentence. The use of such license by the Administrative Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. Any royalties and other payments received by the Administrative Agent shall be applied in accordance with Section 8. (f) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION AND WITHOUT DEROGATING FROM ANY RIGHT, REMEDY OR OTHER PROVISION CONTAINED IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AT ANY TIME FROM AND AFTER SIXTY (60) DAYS AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER SECTIONS 9.1(a) OR 9.1(b) OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPLY FOR AND HAVE A RECEIVER APPOINTED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION TAKEN BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENFORCE THE SECURED PARTIES' RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER IN ORDER TO MANAGE, PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE COLLATERAL AND CONTINUE THE OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS OF THE BORROWER, OR TO SELL OR DISPOSE OF THE COLLATERAL, AND TO COLLECT ALL REVENUES AND PROFITS THEREOF AND APPLY THE SAME TO THE PAYMENT OF ALL EXPENSES AND OTHER CHARGES OF SUCH RECEIVERSHIP, INCLUDING THE COMPENSATION OF THE RECEIVER, SAID EXPENSES TO CONSTITUTE PART OF THE OBLIGATIONS, AND TO THE PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS AS AFORESAID. 8. Application of Proceeds of Sale The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, first, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Security Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Secured Parties hereunder or under any other Loan 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 Loan Document, second, to the payment of fees owing to the Secured Parties and all accrued unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Obligations, third, to the payment of the principal amount of the Obligations (including any termination payment under any Hedging Agreement constituting an Obligation) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and fourth, to the Grantors, their respective successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Secured Parties shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any 16 such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Security Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 9. Reimbursement of the Secured Parties (a) Each of the Grantors shall, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, pay upon demand to the Administrative Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel and of any experts or agents, that any Secured Party may incur as provided in the Credit Agreement. (b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each of the Grantors shall, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, indemnify each Secured Party and its directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, successors and assigns (each an "Indemnitees") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, other charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery by such Grantor of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by such Grantor of its obligations under this Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, 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 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 amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the termination of any commitment to lend in respect of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Secured Parties. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor and shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 3.1(b) of the Credit Agreement. 10. Waivers; Amendment (a) No failure or delay of the Secured Parties in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such 17 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 Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (c) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (b) The Grantors hereby waive presentment, demand, notice, protest and, except as is otherwise provided herein, all other demands and notices in connection with this Agreement or the enforcement of the Secured Parties' rights hereunder or in connection with any Obligations or any Collateral; consent to and waive notice of the granting of renewals, extensions of time for payment or other indulgences to the Grantors or to any account debtor in respect of any Account Receivable, or substitution, release or surrender of any Collateral, the addition or release of persons primarily or secondarily liable on any Obligation or on any Account Receivable or other Collateral, the acceptance of partial payments on any Obligation or on any Account Receivable or other Collateral and/or the settlement or compromise thereof. The Grantors also hereby waive any rights and/or defenses the Grantors may have under any anti-deficiency laws or other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging the Obligations and/or the Secured Parties' remedies against the Grantors. The Grantors' waivers under this section have been made voluntarily, intelligently and knowingly and after the Grantors have been apprised and counseled by their attorneys as to the nature thereof and their possible alternative rights. The Secured Parties shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that they lawfully may, the Grantors hereby agree that they will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Parties' rights under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that they lawfully may, the Grantors hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws. (c) Neither this Security Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into by, between or among the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply and except in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement. 18 11. Securities Laws In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Securities, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the "Federal securities laws") with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Securities permitted hereunder. Each of the Grantors understands that compliance with the Federal securities laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Secured Parties if the Secured Parties were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Securities, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Securities could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Secured Parties in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Securities under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each of the Grantors recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Administrative Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Securities, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each of the Grantors acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Securities, or any part thereof, shall have been filed under the Federal securities laws and (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each of the Grantors acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Securities at a price that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells. 12. Security Interest Absolute All rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of each of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, and to the extent such Grantor is a surety of any other Grantor, irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan 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 or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release, subordination or non-perfection of any Lien on any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent under, or departure from, any guaranty, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the 19 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 in respect of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document other than the indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash and termination of all commitments to lend in respect of the Obligations. 13. Notices All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the Borrower shall be given to it at the address for notices set forth in such Section, and all communications and notices hereunder to any other Grantor shall be given to it at the address for notices set forth on Schedule I. 14. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments Whenever in this Security 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 that are contained in this Security Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and assigns. This Security Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties (as third party beneficiaries) and their respective successors and assigns, except that none of the Grantors shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment shall be void), except as expressly contemplated by this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Security Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each of the Grantors 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. 15. Survival of Agreement; Severability (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Documents and the making of any Loan or other extension of credit, regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all commitments to lend in respect of the Obligations have been terminated. 20 (b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein 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. (c) This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by any of the Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by such Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any of the Grantors or any other Person from time to time liable in respect of the Obligations, or upon the appointment of any intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar official for, any of the Grantors or any such other Person or any substantial part of its or their properties, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. (d) Upon the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, the Administrative Agent, upon the request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, shall execute and deliver all such documentation necessary to release the liens created pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, in connection with any disposition permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, (i) the Collateral that is the subject of such disposition shall, if the conditions regarding such disposition contained in the Credit Agreement are satisfied, be deemed automatically released from the lien created by this Agreement and (ii) the Administrative Agent, upon the request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, shall execute and deliver all such documentation necessary to release the liens created pursuant to this Agreement in such Collateral. 16. GOVERNING LAW THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS, BUT INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 17. Counterparts This Security 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 14), and shall become effective as provided in Section 14. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Security Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement. 21 18. Headings Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Security Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Security Agreement. 19. Jurisdiction (a) Each party hereto 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 Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 applicable 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 Security Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction. (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. 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. 20. 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 SECURITY AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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 SECURITY AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 21. Additional Grantors Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Administrative Agent and a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 3, such Subsidiary shall become a 22 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 of the Grantors hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement. 22. Specific Performance The Grantors stipulate that the Secured Parties' remedies at law, in the event of any demand, or Default or Event of Default by the Grantors in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement on their part to be observed or performed, are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement or provision contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms of provisions hereof or otherwise.

Restrictions on Future Agreements. Assignor agrees and covenants that, until the Obligations shall have been satisfied in full and the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated, Assignor will not, without the Assignee's prior written consent, take any action or enter into any agreement, including, without limitation, entering into any license agreement, which is inconsistent with Assignor's obligations under this Agreement, and Assignor further agrees and covenants that without the Assignee's prior written consent it will not take any action, or permit any action to be taken by others subject to its control, including its licensees, or fail to 35 take any action which would affect the validity or enforcement or nature of the rights transferred to the Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders under this Agreement. Assignor agrees and covenants not to sell or assign its interest in, or grant any license under, the Patents, Marks, Copyrights or Licenses without receiving the prior written consent of the Assignee thereto. 4.

If, before the Obligations shall have been satisfied in full and the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated, Assignor shall (i) obtain rights to any new patentable inventions, trademarks, service marks, trademark or service mark registrations, copyrights, copyright registrations, trade names or licenses, or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any patent, trademark or service mark application, trademark, service mark, trademark or service mark registration, copyrights, copyright registrations, license or license renewal, or patent for any reissue, division, continuation, renewal, extension, or continuation-in-part of any Patent or any improvement on any Patent, the provisions of Section 2 above shall automatically apply thereto, and Assignor shall give to the Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders, prompt written notice thereof. Assignor hereby authorizes the Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders, to modify this Agreement by noting any future acquired Patents, Marks or Copyrights on Schedule A or B and any Licenses and licensed Patents, Marks or Copyrights on Schedule C, as applicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Assignee 36 to make any such notation shall not limit or affect the obligations of Assignor or rights of the Assignee hereunder. 6. Royalties; Terms. Assignor hereby agrees that the use by the Assignee of all Patents, Marks, Copyrights and Licenses as described above shall be worldwide (or in the case of the Patents, Marks and Copyrights licensed to Assignor such smaller geographic location if any is specified for Assignor's use in the applicable License) and without any liability for royalties or other related charges from the Assignee to Assignor. The term of the assignments granted herein shall extend until the earlier of (i) the expiration of each of the respective Patents, Marks, Copyrights and Licenses assigned hereunder, or (ii) satisfaction in full of the Obligations and termination of the Credit Agreement. 7. Grant of License to the Assignor. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and notice given as provided in the following sentence, the Assignee hereby grants to Assignor (but only to the extent the same was lawfully granted to the Assignee by Assignor pursuant to this Agreement) the royalty-free, exclusive, nontransferable right and license for Assignor's own benefit and account and no other to use the Marks and all materials covered by the Copyrights, to exercise the Assignee's rights under the Licenses, and to make, have made, use and sell products conforming to the inventions disclosed and claimed in the Patents for Assignor's own benefit and account and for none other. Assignor agrees not to sell or assign its interest in, or grant any sublicense under, the license granted to Assignor in this Section 7 without the prior written consent of the Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and notice to such effect from the Assignee to the Assignor, Assignor's license with respect to the Patents, Marks, Copyrights and Licenses as set forth in this Section 7 shall terminate forthwith. 8. Right to Inspect. The Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to inspect Assignor's premises, books, records and operations to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 9. Termination of the Assignor's Security Interest. This Agreement is made for collateral purposes only.

Any such termination statements and instruments shall be without recourse upon or warranty by the Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders. 10. Duties of the Assignor.

Assignor shall not abandon any pending patent application, trademark application, copyright application, service mark application, patent, trademark, service mark or copyright without the written consent of the Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders. 11. Assignee's Right to Sue. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Patents, the Marks, the Copyrights and the Licenses, and any licenses thereunder, and, if the Assignee shall commence any such suit, Assignor shall, at the request of the Assignee, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably requested by the Assignee in aid of such enforcement, and Assignor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Assignee for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Assignee in the exercise of its rights under this Section 11. 12. Waivers. No course of dealing between Assignor and the Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Assignee, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 13. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any clause or provision shall be held invalid and unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. 14. Modification. This Agreement cannot be altered, amended or modified in any way, except as specifically provided in Section 5 hereof or by a writing signed by the Assignor and the Assignee. 15. Further Assurances.

Assignor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable until the Obligations shall have been satisfied in full and the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is not intended to limit or restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Assignee under the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents but rather is intended to facilitate the exercise of such rights and remedies. The Assignee, for and on behalf of the Lenders shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies given it by the terms of this Agreement, all rights and remedies allowed by law and the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction in which the Patents, Marks, Copyrights or Licenses may be enforced. Assignor hereby releases the Assignee and the Lenders from any and all claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Assignees under the powers of attorney granted herein. 17.
