5.1Access; Right of Inspection. The Lender shall have access to all the books, correspondence and records of Grantor related to the Collateral, and Lender and its representatives may examine the same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and Grantor agrees to render to Lender, at Grantor’s cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Lender and its representatives shall at all times, upon reasonable notice to Grantor, also have the right to enter any premises of Grantor and inspect any property of Grantor where any of the Collateral of Grantor granted pursuant to this Agreement is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein.

5.2Further Assurances.

(a)Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Grantor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Lender may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted hereby or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor shall:

(i)file or authorize the filing of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;

(iii)at any reasonable time, upon request by the Lender, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Lender, or persons designated by the Collateral Agent; and

(iv)at the Lender’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect Grantor’s title to or the Lender’s security interest in all or any part of the Collateral.

Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Lender herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Grantor shall furnish to the Lender from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(c)Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to modify this Agreement after obtaining Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule 4.2 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest.

SECTION 6.LENDER APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

6.1Power of Attorney. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary; until Payment in Full, Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor, the Lender or otherwise, from time to time in Lender’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Lender may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:

(a)upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by Grantor or paid to the Lender pursuant to the Note;

​

14

​

(b)upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for, 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;

(c)upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above;

(d)upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Collateral;

(e)to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against Grantor as debtor;

(f)to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of Grantor as debtor;

(g)upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Lender in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Lender to become obligations of Grantor to the Lender, due and payable immediately without demand; and

(h)upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Lender’s option and Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Lender deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do.

6.2No Duty on the Part of Lender. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Lender in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 7.REMEDIES.

7.1Generally.

(a)If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies set forth herein

​

15

​

or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Lender on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:

(i)require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(ii)enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;

(iii)prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Lender deems appropriate; and

(iv)without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable.

(b)The Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Lender, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Lender at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Lender to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a

​

16

​

public sale, even if the Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency. Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Lender, that the Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Lender hereunder.

(c)The Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Lender may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(d)The Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

7.2Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents, all proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Lender against the Secured Obligations as provided in the Note.

7.3Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

7.4Intellectual Property.

(a)Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i)The Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of Grantor, the Lender or otherwise, in its sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property rights of Grantor, in which event Grantor shall, at the request of the Lender, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Lender in aid of such enforcement and Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Lender as set forth in Section 9 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Lender shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as set forth in this Section, Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to

​

17

​

diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation;

(ii)upon written demand from the Lender, Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Lender or such Lender’s designee all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Lender such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;

(iii)Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Lender (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property;

(iv)within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Lender, Grantor shall make available to the Lender, to the extent within Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Lender may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks or Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Lender’s behalf and to be compensated by the Lender at Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and

(v)The Lender shall have the right to notify, or require Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Lender, and, upon such notification and at the expense of Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Grantor might have done;

(1)all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided in Section 7.7 hereof; and

(2)Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.

​

18

​

(b)If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Lender of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of Grantor, the Lender shall promptly execute and deliver to Grantor, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Lender as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by Lender; provided, that after giving effect to such reassignment, the Lender’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Lender granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, that the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Lender and the Secured Parties.

(c)Solely for the purpose of enabling the Lender to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as the Lender shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, Grantor hereby grants to the Lender, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor, and wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.

7.5Cash Proceeds. All proceeds of any Collateral received by Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other non-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall, at Lender’s request, be held by Grantor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Grantor, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by Grantor (duly indorsed by Grantor to Lender, if required) and held by Collateral Agent. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Lender (whether from a Grantor or otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be held by the Lender for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Lender, (A) be held by the Lender for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Lender against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.

SECTION 8.CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF NOTE.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the Payment in Full in Cash of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments in writing, be binding upon Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Note, Lender may assign or otherwise transfer the Note

​

19

​

held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lender herein or otherwise. Upon the Payment in Full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantor. Upon any such termination the Lender shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to Grantor or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by the Note, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Lender shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.

SECTION 9.STANDARD OF CARE; LENDER MAY PERFORM.

The powers conferred on the Lender 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 exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Lender 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 any Collateral. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Lender accords its own property. Neither the Lender nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Grantor or otherwise. If Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor under Article VII of the Note.

SECTION 10.MISCELLANEOUS.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Schedule A of the Note. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of

​

20

​

Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and Grantor and their respective successors and assigns. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lender given in accordance with the Note, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantor and the Lender and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAWS).
