Section 6.2                                    GOVERNING LAW.  THIS SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 6.3                                    Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SERVICING AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTY HERETO WOULD NOT, IN THE

EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SERVICING AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.3.

Section 6.4                                    Counterparts.  This Servicing Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.  Any counterpart may be executed by facsimile or other electronic transmission, and such facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed an original.

Section 6.5                                    Amendment.

(a)                                 The provisions of this Servicing Agreement may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or waived, if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or waiver is in writing and consented to by each of the parties hereto and, so long as the Notes are Outstanding, the Trustee; provided, that unless (i) the amendment or other modification is solely for purposes of correcting a technical error, inconsistency or ambiguity, conforming this Servicing Agreement to the Memorandum, adding to the covenants or agreements to be observed by the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders, complying with the requirements of the SEC or any other regulatory body or any Applicable Law or (ii) the amendment or the modification does not adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders in any material respect as confirmed in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer, the Issuer shall provide at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of the amendment or the modification to the Noteholders and the amendment or the modification shall not be effective if the Controlling Party notifies the Issuer within such ten (10) Business Day period that it would be materially adversely affected by the amendment or the modification and does not consent to the amendment or the modification; provided, further, that the consent of the Trustee or the Controlling Party shall not be required if such amendment or other modification only addresses the disposition of funds in the Concentration Account other than the Retained Royalty Payments as certified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee on or prior to the execution and delivery of such amendment or other modification.  The Noteholders shall be third party beneficiaries of this Servicing Agreement for purposes of this provision.  No failure or delay by either party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  No notice to or demand on either party hereto in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  No waiver or approval hereunder shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions.  No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

(b)                                 No failure or delay on the part of the Issuer, the Servicer or any Person specified in Section 6.8 in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.  No notice to or demand on

15

the Issuer or the Servicer in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  No waiver or approval by the Issuer under this Servicing Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions.  No waiver or approval under this Servicing Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

(c)                                  The Transaction Documents contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

Section 6.6                                    Severability of Provisions.  If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Servicing Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Servicing Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Servicing Agreement.

Section 6.7                                    Binding Effect; Assignability; Survival.  This Servicing Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Neither the Servicer nor the Issuer may assign any of its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other party and, so long as the Notes are Outstanding, the Trustee, except as otherwise herein specifically provided; provided, however, that a Change of Control shall not by itself be deemed an assignment for purposes of this Section 6.7.  This Servicing Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until, with respect to the various parties, terminated pursuant to Section 6.13.  Section 5.1, Section 6.2, Section 6.9, Section 6.10, Section 6.11, Section 6.12 and Section 6.14 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Servicing Agreement.

Section 6.8                                    Acknowledgement and Agreement.  The Servicer expressly acknowledges and agrees that all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Servicing Agreement shall be pledged and assigned to the Trustee as collateral by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, and the Servicer consents to such pledge and assignment.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Trustee, acting on behalf of the Noteholders, is a third party beneficiary of the rights of the Issuer arising hereunder that have been assigned and pledged to the Trustee under the Indenture, which rights may be enforced by the Trustee only so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee is exercising remedies under the Indenture, in each case (if required thereunder) at the Direction of the Controlling Party.  In all other cases, the Issuer shall have the right to give and withhold consents and exercise or refrain from exercising rights and remedies hereunder.  The Trustee and the Calculation Agent shall also be third party beneficiaries of this Servicing Agreement in order to permit such Persons to exercise such other rights as are granted to such Persons hereunder.

Section 6.9                                    Cumulative Remedies.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Applicable Law.  Without limiting the

16

foregoing, the Servicer hereby authorizes the Issuer, at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to offset any amounts payable by the Issuer to, or for the account of, the Servicer against any obligations of the Servicer to the Issuer arising in connection with the Transaction Documents (including amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.1) that are then due and payable.

Section 6.10                             Costs and Expenses.  In addition to the obligations of the Servicer under Article V, the Servicer agrees to pay to the Issuer on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with the enforcement of this Servicing Agreement against the Servicer, but not in connection with any enforcement against any other Person.

Section 6.11                             No Proceedings.  The Servicer hereby agrees that it shall not institute against the Issuer, or join any Person in instituting against the Issuer, any insolvency or similar proceeding (namely, any Involuntary Bankruptcy) until one year and one day after the date on which the Notes have been paid in full.

Section 6.12                             Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a)                                 Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Servicing Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

(b)                                 Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Servicing Agreement in any court referred to in Section 6.12(a).  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c)                                  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 6.1.  Nothing in this Servicing Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.  Each of the parties hereto waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by New York law.

(d)                                 If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment or order in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder from Dollars into another currency, each of the Issuer and the Servicer has agreed, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such party

17

could purchase Dollars with such other currency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

Section 6.13                             Termination.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Servicing Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) with respect to the Servicer, the date of the earlier of (i) a Servicer Termination Event whereby such Servicer is replaced by the Issuer as replacement Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Servicing Agreement and (ii) written agreement of the Issuer to the resignation of the Servicer and written acceptance of a successor servicer of the obligations under this Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and (b) with respect to this Servicing Agreement, the date on which the Notes have been repaid, redeemed, repurchased or defeased and the Indenture has been satisfied and discharged.

Section 6.14                             Limited Recourse.  The Servicer accepts that the enforceability against the Issuer of any obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be limited to the Collateral.  Once all such Collateral has been realized upon and such Collateral has been applied in accordance with Article III of the Indenture, any outstanding obligations of the Issuer to the Servicer hereunder shall be extinguished.  The Servicer further agrees that it shall take no action against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the Issuer in relation to this Servicing Agreement; provided, that nothing herein shall limit the Issuer (or its permitted successors or assigns) from pursuing claims, if any, against any such Person; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect any rights of the Servicer to proceed against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the Issuer (a) for intentional and willful fraud or intentional and willful misrepresentations on the part of or by such employee, director, officer or administrator or (b) for the receipt of any distributions or payments to which the Servicer or any successor in interest is entitled, other than distributions expressly permitted pursuant to the other Transaction Documents.

Section 6.15                             Table of Contents and Headings.  The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Servicing Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 6.16                             Distribution Reports.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Trustee may effect delivery of any Distribution Report (including the materials accompanying such Distribution Report) by making such Distribution Report and accompanying materials available by posting such Distribution Report and accompanying materials on IntraLinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system; provided, however, that, upon written notice to the Trustee, any Noteholder may decline to receive such Distribution Report and accompanying materials via IntraLinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system, in which case such Distribution Report and accompanying materials shall be provided as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents.  Subject to the conditions set forth in the proviso in the preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 6.16 shall prejudice the right of the Trustee to make such Distribution Report and accompanying materials available in any other manner specified in the Transaction Documents.
