3.6 Accounts. Each Account is, or at the time it arises will be, a bona fide, valid and legally enforceable indebtedness of the account debtor according to its terms, arising out of or in connection with the sale, lease or performance of Goods or services by the Pledgors or any of them and not evidenced by any Tangible Chattel Paper or other Instrument unless pledged to the Agent to be held as Collateral hereunder. To the knowledge of each Pledgor, there are no facts, events or occurrences that would in any way impair the validity or enforcement of any Accounts.

3.7 Pledged Interests. As of the date hereof, the Pledged Interests required to be pledged hereunder by each Pledgor consist of the number and type of shares of capital stock (in the case of issuers that are corporations) or the percentage and type of other equity interests (in the case of issuers other than corporations) as described beneath such Pledgor’s name in Annex C. All of the Pledged Interests have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable (or, in the case of partnership, limited liability company or similar Pledged Interests, not subject to any capital call or other additional capital requirement) and not subject to any preemptive rights (or, if so subject, such rights have been waived), warrants, options or similar rights or restrictions in favor of third parties or any contractual or other restrictions upon transfer. As to each issuer thereof, the Pledged Interests pledged hereunder constitute 100% of the outstanding capital stock of or other equity interests in such issuer unless such issuer is a CFC and the pledge of less than 100% of such interests is permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor has the right and requisite authority to pledge the Investment Related Property pledged by such Pledgor as provided herein; (i) all actions necessary to perfect and establish the first priority of, or otherwise protect, Agent’s Liens in the Investment Related Property, and the proceeds thereof, have been duly taken, upon (A) the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (B) the taking of possession by Agent (or its designee) of any certificates representing the Pledged Interests, together with undated powers (or other documents of transfer acceptable to Agent) endorsed in blank by the applicable Pledgor; (C) the filing of financing statements in the applicable jurisdiction for such Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Interests of such Pledgor that are not represented by certificates; and (D) with respect to any Securities Accounts, the delivery of a control agreement with respect thereto; and (ii) each Pledgor has delivered to and deposited with Senior Lender all certificates representing the Pledged Interests owned by such Pledgor to the extent such Pledged Interests are represented by certificates, and undated powers (or other documents of transfer acceptable to Senior Lender) endorsed in blank with respect to such certificates. None of the Pledged Interests owned or held by such Pledgor has been issued or transferred in violation of any securities registration, securities disclosure, or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject. As to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under any operating agreement or limited partnership agreement, each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that the Pledged Interests issued pursuant to such agreement (A) are not dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) do not constitute investment company securities, and (C) are not held by such Pledgor in a Securities Account. In addition, none of the limited liability company or partnership agreements, or any other agreements governing any of the Pledged Interests comprised of limited liability company or partnership interests, provide that such Pledged Interests are securities governed by Section 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction.

(c) Each Pledgor will refrain from committing any act, or omitting any act (and will not grant any permission or consent to any of its licensees or sublicensees to commit any act or to omit any act) that may cause any Patent used in the conduct of such Pledgor’s business to become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and shall continue to mark any products covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as required by applicable patent laws.

(g) In the event that a Pledgor determines that any Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright used in the conduct of any Pledgor’s business is being infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Pledgor shall notify the Agent promptly after it learns thereof and, if consistent with sound business judgment, promptly issue a cease and desist demand on the infringing user and 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; provided, however, that Pledgor may discontinue or settle any such actions if Pledgor determines in its business judgment that pursuit of such actions is no longer commercially or legally reasonable.

(h) Subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, each Pledgor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals from the licensor of each License included within the Copyright Collateral, Patent Collateral or Trademark Collateral to effect the assignment as collateral of all of such Pledgor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Agent or its designee.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Deposit Account maintained by a Pledgor, or control agreement executed by a Pledgor, the Agent and a depository bank or financial institution, is closed or terminated for any reason without the express written consent of the Agent and the funds on deposit therein are not concurrently transferred to another Deposit Account as to which a control agreement with the Agent is then in effect or used to acquire other Collateral or to pay any Indebtedness or to acquire any assets permitted to be paid or acquired under the Note Purchase Agreement, such Pledgor shall instruct (and does hereby instruct) such depository bank or financial institution to distribute the cash, certificates of deposit, or other assets in or proceeds of such Deposit Account directly to the Agent to hold for security purposes under this Agreement. The Agent may provide a copy of this Agreement to the depository bank or financial institution as evidence of such instruction. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Agent shall promptly deposit any such cash or other assets into a Deposit Account designated by such Pledgor that is subject to a control agreement.

4.13 Commercial Tort Claims. Each Pledgor agrees that it will, promptly upon becoming aware of any Commercial Tort Claim in its favor, furnish to the Agent a description thereof meeting the requirements of Section 9-108(e) of the Uniform Commercial Code, execute and deliver such documents, financing statements and other instruments, and take such other action, as the Agent may reasonably request in order to include such Commercial Tort Claim as Collateral hereunder and to perfect the security interest of the Agent therein.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO PLEDGED INTERESTS

5.1 After-Acquired Equity Interests; Ownership.

(a) If any Pledgor shall, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, acquire any additional capital stock or other ownership interests in any Person of the types described in the definition of the term “Pledged Interests,” the same shall be automatically deemed to be Pledged Interests hereunder, and to be pledged to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.1 and such Pledgor will forthwith pledge the same with the Agent and deliver to the Agent any certificates therefor, together with undated stock powers or other necessary instruments of transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, together with such other certificates and instruments as the Agent may reasonably request (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or appropriate amendments thereto), and will promptly thereafter deliver to the Agent a fully completed and duly executed amendment to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit D (each, a “Pledge Amendment”) in respect thereof. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Agent to attach each such Pledge Amendment to this Agreement, and agrees that all such Collateral listed on any Pledge Amendment authorized hereunder shall for all purposes be deemed Collateral hereunder and shall be subject to the provisions hereof; provided that the failure of any Pledgor to execute and deliver any Pledge Amendment with respect to any such additional Collateral as required hereinabove shall not impair the security interest of the Agent in such Collateral or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder with respect thereto.

(b) Except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted by or pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement or the definition of “Pledged Interest” contained herein, the Pledgors will cause the Pledged Interests in each issuer pledged hereunder to constitute at all times 100% of the capital stock or other Pledged Interests in such issuer, such that the issuer shall be a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary and unless the Agent shall have given its prior written consent or except as may be expressly permitted by the Note Purchase Agreement, no Pledgor will cause or permit any such issuer to issue or sell any new capital stock, any warrants, options or rights to acquire the same, or other Pledged Interests of any nature to any Person other than such Pledgor, or cause, permit or consent to the admission of any other Person as a stockholder, partner or member of any such issuer.

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to its Pledged Interests (subject to its obligations under Section 5.1(a)), and for that purpose the Agent will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to each applicable Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request in writing to enable such Pledgor to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; provided, however, that no Pledgor will cast any vote, give any consent, waiver or ratification, or take or fail to take any action, in any manner that would, or could reasonably be expected to, violate or be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Document or have the effect of adversely impairing the position or interests of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would occur as a result thereof), and except as provided otherwise herein or in the Note Purchase Agreement, all interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts payable in cash in respect of the Pledged Interests may be paid to and retained by the Pledgors; provided, however, that, subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, all such interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts shall, at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be paid to the Agent and retained by it as part of the Collateral (except to the extent applied upon receipt to the repayment of the Secured Obligations).

5.4 Amendments and Modifications of Pledged Interests. Each Pledgor shall not make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Interests, or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Interest, if the same is prohibited pursuant to the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIES

6.1 Remedies. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent shall be entitled to exercise in respect of the Collateral all of its rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it under any other Loan Document, by law, in equity or otherwise, including all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and shall be entitled in particular, but without limitation of the foregoing, to exercise the following rights, which each Pledgor agrees to be commercially reasonable:

(a) To notify any or all account debtors or obligors under any Accounts, Contracts or other Collateral of the security interest in favor of the Agent created hereby and to direct all such Persons to make payments of all amounts due thereon or thereunder directly to the Agent or to an account designated by the Agent; and in such instance and from and after such notice, all amounts and Proceeds (including wire transfers, checks and other Instruments) received by any Pledgor in respect of any Accounts, Contracts or other Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from the other funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith deposited into such account or paid over or delivered to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements or assignments), to be held as Collateral and applied to the Secured Obligations as provided herein; and by this provision, each Pledgor irrevocably authorizes and directs each Person who is or shall be a party to or liable for the performance of any Contract, upon receipt of notice from the Agent to the effect that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to attorn to or otherwise recognize the Agent as owner under such Contract and to pay, observe and otherwise perform the obligations under such Contract to or for the Agent or the Agent’s designee as though the Agent or such designee were such Pledgor named therein, and to do so until otherwise notified by the Agent;

(b) To take possession of, receive, endorse, assign and deliver, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor, all checks, notes, drafts and other Instruments relating to any Collateral, including receiving, opening and properly disposing of all mail addressed to any Pledgor concerning Accounts and other Collateral; to verify with account debtors or other contract parties the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts or other Collateral, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor; to accelerate any indebtedness or other obligation constituting Collateral that may be accelerated in accordance with its terms; to take or bring all actions and suits deemed necessary or appropriate to effect collections and to enforce payment of any Accounts or other Collateral; to settle, compromise or release in whole or in part any amounts owing on Accounts or other Collateral; and to extend the time of payment of any and all Accounts or other amounts owing under any Collateral and to make allowances and adjustments with respect thereto, all in the same manner and to the same extent as any Pledgor might have done;

(c) To notify any or all depository institutions with which any Deposit Accounts are maintained and which Deposit Accounts are subject to Control in favor of the Agent to remit and transfer all monies, securities and other property on deposit in such Deposit Accounts or deposited or received for deposit thereafter to the Agent, for deposit in a Collateral Account or such other accounts as may be designated by the Agent, for application to the Secured Obligations as provided herein;

(d) To transfer to or register in its name or the name of any of its agents or nominees all or any part of the Collateral, without notice to any Pledgor and with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the security interest created hereunder;

(e) To require any Pledgor to, and each Pledgor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Agent forthwith, assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Agent and make it available to the Agent at a place designated by the Agent;

(f) To enter and remain upon the premises of any Pledgor and take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with or without judicial process; to use the materials, services, books and records of any Pledgor for the purpose of liquidating or collecting the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise; and to remove the same to the premises of the Agent or any designated agent for such time as the Agent may desire, in order to effectively collect or liquidate the Collateral;

(g) To exercise (i) all voting, consensual and other rights and powers pertaining to the Pledged Interests (whether or not transferred into the name of the Agent), at any meeting of shareholders, partners, members or otherwise, and (ii) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares or interests, similar rearrangement or other similar fundamental change in the structure of the applicable issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledgor or the Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Interests), and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Interests with any depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may determine, and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Pledged Interests, all without liability except to account for any property actually received by it, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option or give any such consent, waiver or ratification and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing; and for the foregoing purposes each Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Agent, upon request, all such proxies and other instruments as the Agent may reasonably request to enable the Agent to exercise such rights and powers; AND IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING AND WITHOUT LIMITATION THEREOF, EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE AGENT AS THE TRUE AND LAWFUL PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF SUCH PLEDGOR, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION IN THE PREMISES, TO EXERCISE ALL SUCH VOTING, CONSENSUAL AND OTHER RIGHTS AND POWERS TO WHICH ANY HOLDER OF ANY PLEDGED INTERESTS WOULD BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF HOLDING THE SAME, WHICH PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY, BEING COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, IS IRREVOCABLE AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR SO LONG AS THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE IN EFFECT; and

(h) To sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, all or any of the Collateral, in one or more parcels, on any securities exchange on which any Pledged Interests may be listed, at public or private sale, at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem satisfactory. If any of the Collateral is sold by the Agent upon credit or for future delivery, the Agent shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, the Agent may resell such Collateral. In no event shall any Pledgor be credited with any part of the Proceeds of sale of any Collateral until and to the extent cash payment in respect thereof has actually been received by the Agent. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby expressly waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal, and all rights to require the Agent to marshal any assets in favor of such Pledgor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. No demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law, as referred to below), all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Pledgor, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall be required under applicable law, the Agent shall give the applicable Pledgor at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice each Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given. The 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. Upon each public sale and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon each private sale, the Agent may purchase all or any of the Collateral being sold, free from any equity, right of redemption or other claim or demand, and may make payment therefor by endorsement and application (without recourse) of the Secured Obligations in lieu of cash as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Collateral.

6.2 Application of Proceeds.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, all Proceeds collected by the Agent upon any sale, other disposition of or realization upon any of the Collateral, together with all other moneys received by the Agent hereunder, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from any such Secured Party and through review of applicable UCC records to the extent required by the UCC in connection with disposition of such Collateral) to the contrary, the Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secured Obligations in respect thereof are in existence between any Secured Party and the Borrower.

(b) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, disposition or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Loan Document for interest on overdue principal or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and all other fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder.

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

6.3 Collateral Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to cause to be established and maintained, at a bank or banks as it may select from time to time in its discretion, one or more accounts (collectively, “Collateral Accounts”) for the collection of cash Proceeds of the Collateral. Such Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to constitute Collateral for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as herein provided. The Agent shall have sole dominion and control over all funds deposited in any Collateral Account, and such funds may be withdrawn therefrom only by the Agent, provided, however, that the Agent shall treat such funds as Collateral so long as they remain in the Collateral Account and shall use them only for purposes authorized for the use of Proceeds under the Loan Documents and the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to (and, if directed by the Requisite Purchasers pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, shall) apply amounts held in the Collateral Accounts in payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner provided for in Section 6.2.

6.4 Grant of License. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, each Pledgor hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Pledgor) to use, license or sublicense any Patent Collateral, Trademark Collateral or Copyright Collateral now owned or licensed or hereafter acquired or licensed by such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located throughout the world, for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Agent shall determine, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, 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, but in the case of any Patent Collateral, Trademark Collateral, or Copyright Collateral held or used by a Pledgor under a license or sublicense from a third party, in a manner consistent with and as permitted by the terms, conditions, and restrictions of the applicable license or sublicense. The use of such license or sublicense by the Agent may be exercised only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each applicable Pledgor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

6.5 Private Sales.

(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Agent may be compelled, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to conduct any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Interests without registering or qualifying such Pledged Interests under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or any applicable state securities laws in effect at such time. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be made in such manner and under such circumstances as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole and absolute discretion, including at prices and on terms that might be less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such sale shall not be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner solely because it was conducted as a private sale, and agrees that the Agent shall have no obligation to conduct any public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Interests for the period of time necessary to permit its registration for public sale under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and shall not have any responsibility or liability as a result of its election so not to conduct any such public sales or delay the sale of any Pledged Interests, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until after such registration. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Interests may have been sold at any private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Interests to more than one offeree.

6.6 The Pledgors Remain Liable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) each Pledgor shall remain liable under all Contracts to which it is a party included within the Collateral (including, without limitation, all Ownership Agreements) to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall not release any Pledgor from any of its obligations under any of such Contracts, and (iii) except as specifically provided for hereinbelow, the Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under any of such Contracts, nor shall the Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. The powers, rights and remedies conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest and privilege in such Contracts, as Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers, rights or remedies.

6.7 Waivers. Each Pledgor, to the greatest extent not prohibited by applicable law, hereby (i) agrees that it will not invoke, claim or assert the benefit of any rule of law or statute now or hereafter in effect (including, without limitation, any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Agent’s possession, custody or disposition of any Collateral or any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law), or take or omit to take any other action, that would or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing the exercise of any rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale thereof, and waives the benefit of all such laws and further agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted hereunder to the Agent, but that it will permit the execution of every such power as though no such laws were in effect, (ii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to require the Agent to marshal any Collateral or other assets in favor of such Pledgor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, and (iii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except notices expressly provided for herein). In addition, each Pledgor waives any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral by the Agent.

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENT

7.1 The Agent; Standard of Care. The Agent will hold all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof. The obligations of the Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall act hereunder at the direction, or with the consent, of the Requisite Purchasers on the terms and conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for treatment of the Collateral in its possession in a manner substantially equivalent to that which the Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property of a similar nature, and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, and except for duties of a secured party in possession of Collateral imposed by the Uniform Commercial Code, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral. Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable to any Pledgor (i) for any loss or damage sustained by such Pledgor, or (ii) for any loss, damage, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of the Collateral that may occur as a result of or in connection with or that is in any way related to any exercise by the Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement, any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or any delay in doing so, or any other act or failure to act on the part of the Agent or any other Secured Party, except to the extent that the same is caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.2 Further Assurances; Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Pledgor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset included within the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment.

(b) Each Pledgor agrees that it will do such further acts and things (including, without limitation, making any notice filings with state tax or revenue authorities required to be made by account creditors in order to enforce any Accounts in such state) and to execute and deliver to the Agent such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require or deem advisable to perfect, establish, confirm and maintain the security interest and Lien provided for herein, to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

(c) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, the Agent or otherwise, and with full power of substitution in the premises (which power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable for so long as this Agreement shall be in effect), from time to time in the Agent’s discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (except for the actions described in clause (i) below, which may be taken by the Agent without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred) to take any action and to execute any instruments that the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(i) to sign the name of such Pledgor on any financing statement, continuation statement, notice or other similar document that, in the Agent’s opinion, should be made or filed in order to perfect or continue perfected the security interest granted under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any title or ownership applications for filing with applicable state agencies to enable any motor vehicles now or hereafter owned by such Pledgor to be retitled and the Agent listed as lienholder thereon);

(ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(iii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and other orders for the payment of money made payable to such Pledgor representing any interest, income, dividend, distribution or other amount payable in respect of any of the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same;

(iv) to obtain, maintain and adjust any property or casualty insurance required to be maintained by such Pledgor under the Note Purchase Agreement and direct the payment of proceeds thereof to the Agent;

(v) to pay or discharge taxes, Liens or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Agent to become Secured Obligations of the Pledgors to the Agent, due and payable immediately and without demand;

(vi) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; and

(vii) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any and all of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, and to do from time to time, at the Agent’s option and the Pledgors’ expense, all other acts and things deemed necessary by the Agent to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and to more completely carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If any Pledgor fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement after written request to do so by the Agent (provided that no such request shall be necessary at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), the Agent may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or agreement and may take any other action that it deems necessary and appropriate for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral or its security interest therein, and the reasonable expenses so incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgors under Section 8.1.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Indemnity and Expenses. The Pledgors agree jointly and severally:

(a) To indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each other Secured Party and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, obligations, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent the same shall arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified; and

(b) To pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Agent and to reimburse the Agent upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it, in each case in connection with (i) the engagement of appraisers, consultants, auditors or similar Persons by the Agent at any time to render opinions concerning the value of the Collateral, (ii) the creation, perfection and maintenance of the perfection of the Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, including, without limitation, Lien search, filing and recording fees, (iii) the custody, use or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including the reasonable expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, (iv) the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise available to it (whether at law, in equity or otherwise), or (v) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

8.2 No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Pledgors and the Secured Parties or their agents or employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to constitute a waiver of any default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon any Pledgor in any case shall entitle such Pledgor or any other Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

8.3 Enforcement. By its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees that this Agreement may be enforced only by the Agent, acting upon the instructions or with the consent of the Requisite Purchasers as provided for in the Note Purchase Agreement, and that no Purchaser shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral or other security given to secure the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations.

8.4 Amendments, Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification, waiver, discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by any Pledgor from, any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Agent and such of the Purchasers as may be required under the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement to concur in the action then being taken, and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

8.5 Continuing Security Interest; Term; Successors and Assigns; Assignment; Termination and Release; Survival. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall secure the payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations as the same may arise and be outstanding at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof, and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the occurrence of the Termination Requirements (as hereinafter defined), (ii) be binding upon and enforceable against each Pledgor and its successors and assigns (provided, however, that no Pledgor may sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, interests, duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers) and (iii) inure to the benefit of and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, be enforceable by each Secured Party and its successors and assigns. Upon any sale or other disposition by any Pledgor of any Collateral in a transaction expressly permitted hereunder or under or pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement or any other applicable Loan Document, the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement in and upon such Collateral shall be automatically released, and upon the satisfaction of all of the Termination Requirements, this Agreement and the Liens and security interests created hereby, including any Liens and security interests with respect to the Deposit Accounts, shall terminate (provided that the provisions of Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement); and in connection with any such release or termination, the Agent, at the request and expense of the applicable Pledgor, will execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents and instruments evidencing such release or termination as such Pledgor may reasonably request and will assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor, without recourse and without representation or warranty, such of the Collateral as may then be in the possession of the Agent (or, in the case of any partial release of Collateral, such of the Collateral so being released as may be in its possession). All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Pledgor Accession. For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Requirements” means the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent and indemnification obligations not then due and payable).

8.6 Additional Pledgors. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Agent and the Purchasers may require Persons that become Subsidiaries of the Borrower, and that are not already parties hereto, to execute and deliver a Pledgor Accession, whereupon each such Person shall become a Pledgor hereunder and subject thereafter to all rights and obligations of a Pledgor hereunder on the date of such Pledgor Accession, and agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by reason of the same, or by reason of the Agent’s actions in effecting the same or in releasing any Pledgor hereunder, in each case without the necessity of giving notice to or obtaining the consent of such Pledgor or any other Pledgor.

8.7 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given to the parties in the manner and subject to the other notice provisions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.

8.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (excluding all choice of law and conflicts of law rules except those referred to in the definition of UCC in this Agreement).

8.9 Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

8.10 Construction. The headings of the various sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular.

8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Security Agreement.

The New Pledgor is a subsidiary of the Borrower and, as required by the Agent, has become a guarantor as of the date hereof. The New Pledgor will obtain benefits as a result of the continued extension of credit to the Borrower under the Note Purchase Agreement, which benefits are hereby acknowledged, and, accordingly, desires to execute and deliver this Accession.
