Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any UCC financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a UCC financing statement where permitted by law. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Trustee to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement.

Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for

(a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property, whether or not the Trustee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or

(b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

SECTION 5.4 Reasonable Care.

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIES

SECTION 6.1 Certain Remedies. If any Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Trustee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a Secured Party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may

(i) take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process;

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

(iii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process;

Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ prior notice to such 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 Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Trustee 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.

(b) All cash Proceeds received by the Trustee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Trustee against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indentures.

(i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Trustee or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the Lien hereunder,

(v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral,

(vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral, and

(vii) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.

SECTION 6.2 Securities Laws. If the Trustee shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Capital Stock pursuant to Section 6.1, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Trustee, each Grantor will, at its own expense:

(a) execute and deliver, and cause (or, with respect to any issuer which is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) each issuer of the Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Trustee, are necessary or reasonably advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to exempt the Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Trustee;

(b) if necessary in order to effectuate such a registration or exemption, cause (or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause) each such issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and

(c) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

(d) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Trustee by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section and consequently agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value (as determined by the Trustee) of such Collateral on the date the Trustee shall demand compliance with this Section.

SECTION 6.3 Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever a Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of any right(s) of any third Person or applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any third Person or any Governmental Authority or official, and such Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Trustee be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

SECTION 6.4 Protection of Collateral. The Trustee may from time to time, at its option, perform any act which any Grantor fails to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Default) and the Trustee may from time to time take any other action which the Trustee deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.
