          (e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i)  Grantor shall remain liable under the Licenses and otherwise with respect to any of the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Grantor from any of its obligations under the Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under the Licenses or with respect to any of the other Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

          SECTION 7. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
          (a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Collateral Agent’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Collateral Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Collateral Agent may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral 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 or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent 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 hereby waives any claims against the Agents and the Lenders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that Grantor may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. Grantor hereby acknowledges that (I) any such sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent shall be made without warranty, (II) the Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (III) such actions set forth in clauses (I) and (II) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of the Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, (x) upon written notice to Grantor from the Collateral Agent, Grantor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright similar thereto for any purpose described in such notice; (y) the Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time, upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Grantor, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive

-13-


 

basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (z) the Collateral Agent may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Section 6 hereof (such authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property (or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country.
          (b) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent (or its agents or desingee) as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Required Lenders, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8 hereof) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Required Lenders shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after the date on which all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of the Loan Documents shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
          (c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Agents and the Lenders are legally entitled, Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any Loan Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
          (d) Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent complies with any applicable state, provincial or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.
          (e) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that Grantor lawfully may, Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

          SECTION 8. Indemnity and Expenses.
          (a) Grantor agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by such Indemnified Parties) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely and directly from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
          (b) Grantor agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent and of any experts and agents (including, without limitation, any collateral trustee which may act as agent of the Collateral Agent), which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
          SECTION 9. Notices, Etc.  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, telecopied or delivered, if to Grantor, to Grantor at its address specified in the Credit Agreement and, if to the Collateral Agent, to it at its address specified in the Credit Agreement; or, as to any such Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 9. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, when received or three (3) days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first; (b) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation received; or (c) if delivered, upon delivery.
          SECTION 10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agents and the Lenders, all Liens and all obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (c) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Grantor in respect of the Obligations. All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
          SECTION 11. Miscellaneous.
          (a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement (including any Schedule attached hereto) shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Grantor and the Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by

-15-


 

Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
          (b) No failure on the part of the Agents or the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, Grantor.
          (c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without, to the extent permitted by law, invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
          (d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Termination, and (ii) be binding on Grantor and all other Persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9-203(d) of the Code and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder, to the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, without notice to Grantor, the Agents and the Lenders may assign or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Credit Agreement, to any other Person and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Agents and the Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to any such Agent or any such Lender shall mean the assignee of such Agent or such Lender. None of the rights or obligations of Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Agents and the Lenders, and any such assignment or transfer without the Agents’ and the Lenders’ prior written consent shall be null and void.
          (e) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD DESIGNATE THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY AND PERFECTION OR THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREBY, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
