replacements thereof, to the extent not obsolete, surplus, uneconomical or negligible and consistent with past practice of such Grantor, as quickly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any loss or damage thereto which are necessary or reasonably desirable to such end, except where the failure to do any of the foregoing would not result in a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Grantors, taken as a whole.

In connection with such collections, the Grantors may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon prior notice by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7 of the Credit Agreement and the Orders, take (and at the direction of the Collateral Agent shall take) such action as the Grantors or the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Accounts; provided, that upon written notice of its intention to do so by the Collateral Agent to any Grantor in accordance with Section 7 of the Credit Agreement and the Orders, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify the account debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to the Collateral Agent and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Accounts, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done.

17

required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Grantors 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.

     (b) The Collateral Agent may instruct the Grantors not to make any further use of the Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks or any mark similar thereto for any purpose to the extent that such use would be inconsistent with the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any other remedies under this Section.
     (c) The Collateral Agent may license, to the extent such Grantor has a right to issue such a license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any of the Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine.
     (d) The Collateral Agent may (without assuming any obligations or liability thereunder), at any time, enforce against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of the Grantors in, to and under any one or more license agreements with respect to the Collateral, and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and each of the Grantors hereby releases the Collateral Agent from, and agrees to hold the Collateral Agent free and harmless from and against any claims arising out of, any action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to any such license agreement except claims involving gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Collateral Agent.
     (e) In the event of any such license, assignment, sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part of it, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall supply its know-how and expertise relating to the Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights, and its customer lists and other records relating to the Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

     (g) All cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral


 

18

     (i) First, to pay or cash collateralize (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Administrative Agents or the Sub-Agent, as applicable) incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Administrative Agents and the Sub-Agent under the Loan Documents and any Cash Management Obligations;
     (ii) Second, to the First Priority Agent and the Sub-Agent, for application by it towards payment or cash collateralization (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the First Priority Agent or the Sub-Agent) of Obligations in respect of the First Priority Facility, pro rata among the First Priority Lenders holding such Obligations according to the amounts of such Obligations held by such First Priority Lenders;
     (iii) Third, to the Second Priority Lenders, for application by it towards prepayment of Obligations in respect of the Second Priority Term Facility, pro rata among the Second Priority Term Lenders according to the amounts of such Obligations then held by the Second Priority Term Lenders; and
     (iv) Fourth, to the payment or cash collateralization (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the respective holders thereof) of any remaining Obligations, pro rata among the holders of such Obligations according to the amounts of such Obligations then held by such holders.
Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all outstanding Obligations shall be paid over to the Grantors or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
     (h) If at any time when the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 15, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not be effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and as from time to time in effect, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act”), the Collateral Agent is hereby expressly authorized to sell such Pledged Collateral or such part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without such registration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Collateral Agent, in compliance with applicable securities laws, (a) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or such part thereof shall have been filed under such Securities Act, (b) may approach and negotiate with a restricted number of potential


 

19

purchasers to effect such sale and (c) may restrict such sale to purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention including without limitation to purchasers each of whom will represent and agree to the satisfaction of the Collateral Agent that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral, or part thereof, it being understood that the Collateral Agent may cause or require each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby agrees upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, to cause (i) a legend or legends to be placed on the certificates to be delivered to such purchasers to the effect that the Pledged Collateral represented thereby have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth or referring to restrictions on the transferability of such securities; and (ii) the issuance of stop transfer instructions to such Issuer’s transfer agent, if any, with respect to the Pledged Collateral, or, if such Issuer transfers its own securities, a notation in the appropriate records of such Issuer. In the event of any such sale, each Grantor does hereby consent and agree that the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price which the Collateral Agent may deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were public and deferred until after registration as aforesaid.
     SECTION 16 . Indemnity and Expenses.
     (a) Each Grantor, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities directly arising from the Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
     (b) The Grantors will promptly upon written demand together, with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request, pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates and of the Collateral Agent’s and its Affiliates’ internal and third-party consultants) which the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any of the Grantors to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
     (c) The Grantors assume all responsibility and liability arising from the use of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights except to the extent such liability


 

20

is a direct result of the Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
     (d) Each of the Grantors agrees that the Collateral Agent does not assume, and shall have no responsibility for, the payment of any sums due or to become due under any agreement or contract included in the Collateral or the performance of any obligations to be performed under or with respect to any such agreement or contract by any of the Grantors, and except as the same may have resulted directly from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Collateral Agent, each of the Grantors hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent harmless with respect to any and all claims by any person relating thereto.
     SECTION 17. Additional Grantors. Each Global Entity that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.11(b) of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.
     SECTION 18 . Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of each of the Grantors hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any circumstance which might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any guarantor or other obligor in respect of the Obligations other than payment in full of the Obligations after the repayment of all other Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.
     SECTION 19 . Amendments; Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor any consent to any departure by any of the Grantors herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto, with the consent of the requisite Lenders specified in Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

     SECTION 21 . Continuing Security Interest.
