4. Collections, etc.

(a) Until such time during the existence of a Default as the Agent shall notify such Debtor of the revocation of such power and authority, each Debtor (a) may, in the ordinary course of its business, at its own expense, sell, lease or furnish under contracts of service any of the Inventory normally held by such Debtor for such purpose, use and consume, in the ordinary course of its business, any raw materials, work in process or materials normally held by such Debtor for such purpose, and use, in the ordinary course of its business (but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement), the cash proceeds of Collateral and other money which constitutes Collateral, (b) will, at its own expense, endeavor to collect, as and when due, all amounts due under any of the Non-Tangible Collateral, including the taking of such action with respect to such collection as the Agent may reasonably request or, in the absence of such request, as such Debtor may deem advisable and (c) may grant, in the ordinary course of business, to any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral, any rebate, refund or allowance to which such party may be lawfully entitled, and may accept, in connection therewith, the return of Goods, the sale or lease of which shall have given rise to such Non-Tangible Collateral. The Agent, however, may, at any time that a Default exists, whether before or after any revocation of such power and authority or the maturity of any of the Liabilities, notify any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder and enforce collection of any of the Non-Tangible Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon the request of the Agent during the existence of a Default, each Debtor will, at its own expense, notify any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

(b) Upon request by the Agent during the existence of a Default, each Debtor will forthwith, upon receipt, transmit and deliver to the Agent, in the form received, all cash, checks, drafts and other instruments or writings for the payment of money (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Agent) which may be received by such Debtor at any time in full or partial payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral. Except as the Agent may otherwise consent in writing, any such items which may be so received by any Debtor will not be commingled with any other of its funds or property, but will be held separate and apart from its own funds or property and upon express trust for the Agent until delivery is made to the Agent. Each Debtor will comply with the terms and conditions of any consent given by the Agent pursuant to the foregoing sentence.

(c) During the existence of a Default, all items or amounts which are delivered by any Debtor to the Agent on account of partial or full payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral shall be deposited to the credit of a deposit account (each an “Assignee Deposit Account”) of such Debtor with a financial institution selected by the Agent over which the Agent has sole dominion and control, as security for payment of the Liabilities. No Debtor shall have any right to withdraw any funds deposited in the applicable Assignee Deposit Account. The Agent may, from time to time, in its discretion, and shall upon request of the applicable Debtor made not more than once in any week, apply all or any of the then balance, representing collected funds, in the Assignee Deposit Account toward payment of the Liabilities, whether or not then due, in such order of application as the Agent may determine, and the Agent may, from time to time, in its discretion, release all or any of such balance to the applicable Debtor.

(d) At any time that a Default exists, the Agent (or any designee of the Agent) is authorized to endorse, in the name of the applicable Debtor, any item, howsoever received by the Agent, representing any payment on or other proceeds of any of the Collateral.

5. Certificates, Schedules and Reports. Each Debtor will from time to time, as the Agent may request, deliver to the Agent such schedules, certificates and reports respecting all or any of the Collateral at the time subject to the security interest hereunder, and the items or amounts received by such Debtor in full or partial payment of any of the Collateral, as the Agent may reasonably request. Any such schedule, certificate or report shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of such Debtor and shall be in such form and detail as the Agent may reasonably specify. Each Debtor shall immediately notify the Agent of the occurrence of any event causing any loss or depreciation in the value of its Inventory or other Goods which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and such notice shall specify the amount of such loss or depreciation.

6. Agreements of the Debtors. Each Debtor (a) will, upon request of the Agent, execute such financing statements and other documents (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices reasonably deemed appropriate by the Agent) and do such other acts and things (including delivery to the Agent of any Instruments or Certificated Securities which constitute Collateral), all as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request, to establish and maintain a valid security interest in the Collateral (free of all other liens, claims and rights of third parties whatsoever, other than Permitted Liens) to secure the payment of the Liabilities (and each Debtor hereby authorizes the Agent to file any financing statement or any amendment thereto that (i) indicates the Collateral (x) as all assets of such Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement is filed, or (y) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (ii) contains any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, including (x) whether such Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Debtor and (y) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates); (b) will keep all its Inventory, Equipment and other Goods at, and will not maintain any place of business at any location other than, its address(es) shown on Schedules I and II hereto or at such other addresses of which such Debtor shall have given the Agent not less than 10 days’ prior written notice; (c) will not change its state of organization or incorporation and will not change its name, identity or organizational structure such that any financing statement filed to perfect the Agent’s interests under this Agreement would become seriously misleading, unless such Debtor shall have given the Agent not less than 10 days’ prior written notice of such change (provided that this clause 6(c) shall not be deemed to authorize any change or transaction prohibited under the Credit Agreement); (d) will keep its records concerning the Non-Tangible Collateral in such a manner as will enable the Agent or its designees to determine at any time the status of the Non-Tangible Collateral; (e) will furnish the Agent such information concerning such Debtor, the Collateral and the Account Debtors as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request; (f) will permit the Agent and its designees, from time to time, on reasonable notice and at reasonable times and intervals during normal business hours (or at any time without notice during the existence of a Default) to inspect such Debtor’s Inventory and other Goods, and to inspect, audit and make copies of and extracts from all records and other papers in the possession of such Debtor pertaining to the Collateral and the Account Debtors, and will, upon request of the Agent during the existence of a Default, deliver to the Agent all of such records and papers; (g) will, upon request of the Agent, stamp on its records concerning the Collateral, and add on all Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper constituting a portion of the Collateral, a notation, in form satisfactory to the Agent, of the security interest of the Agent hereunder (which notation on Instruments or Chattel Paper may state, if the Agent requests, that any purchase (as defined in Section 1-201(32) of the UCC) of such Instrument or Chattel Paper is in violation of the Agent’s rights); (h) except for the sale or lease of Inventory in the ordinary course of business, sales of Equipment which is no longer useful in its business or which is being replaced by other Equipment, and for Dispositions permitted by Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement, will not sell, lease, assign or create or permit to exist any Lien on any Collateral other than Permitted Liens; (i) will at all times keep all of its Inventory and other Goods insured as required by Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement and cause all policies covering the Collateral to provide that loss thereunder shall be payable to the Agent as its interest may appear (it being understood that (A) so long as no Default shall be existing, the Agent shall deliver any proceeds of such insurance which may be received by it to such Debtor and (B) whenever a Default shall be existing, the Agent may apply any proceeds of such insurance which may be received by it toward payment of the Liabilities, whether or not due, in such order of application as the Agent may determine), and such policies or certificates thereof shall, if the Agent so requests, be deposited with or furnished to the Agent; (j) will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to keep its Inventory in good repair and condition; (k) will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to keep its Equipment in good repair and condition and in good working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (l) will promptly pay when due all license fees, registration fees, taxes, assessments and other charges which may be levied upon or assessed against the ownership, operation, possession, maintenance or use of its Equipment and other Goods, other than with respect to Equipment which is no longer useful in its business; (m) will, upon request of the Agent, (i) cause to be noted on the applicable certificate, in the event any of its Equipment is covered by a certificate of title, the security interest of the Agent in the Equipment covered thereby and (ii) deliver all such certificates to the Agent or its designees; (n) will take all steps reasonably necessary to protect, preserve and maintain all of its rights in the Collateral; (o) except as listed on Schedule VI, will keep all of the tangible Collateral, Deposit Accounts and Investment Property in the United States; (p) will promptly notify the Agent in writing upon incurring or otherwise obtaining a Commercial Tort Claim which is claiming damages in excess of $1,000,000 after the date hereof against any third party, and thereupon this Agreement shall be deemed amended to include a specific reference (sufficient under Section 9-108 of the UCC) to such Commercial Tort Claim; (q) will promptly notify the Agent in writing upon becoming the beneficiary under any letter of credit and, at the request of the Agent, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, either (A) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer or other nominated person of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Agent of such letter of credit or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit; (r) will promptly notify the Agent in writing if such Debtor holds or acquires an interest in any Electronic Chattel Paper and, at the request of the Agent, take such action as the Agent may reasonably request to vest control, under Section 9-105 of the UCC, of such Electronic Chattel Paper in the Agent; and (s) acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to file any financing statement in favor of the Agent or amendment thereto without the prior written consent of the Agent and that it will not do so without the prior written consent of the Agent, subject to such Debtor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

Any expenses incurred in protecting, preserving or maintaining any Collateral shall be borne by the applicable Debtor. Whenever a Default shall be existing, the Agent shall have the right to bring suit to enforce any or all of the Intellectual Property or licenses thereunder, in which event the applicable Debtor shall at the request of the Agent do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents required by the Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Debtor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Section 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall have no obligation or liability regarding the Collateral or any thereof by reason of, or arising out of, this Agreement, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent.

7. Default.

(a) Whenever any Default shall be existing, the Agent may exercise from time to time any right or remedy available to it under the UCC, under any other applicable law and in Section 4 and this Section 7.

(b) Each Debtor agrees, in case of Default, (i) to assemble, at its expense, all its Inventory and other Goods (other than Fixtures) at a convenient place or places acceptable to the Agent, and (ii) at the Agent’s request, to execute all such documents and do all such other things which may be necessary or desirable in order to enable the Agent or its nominee to be registered as owner of the Intellectual Property with any competent registration authority.

(c) Notice of the intended disposition of any Collateral may be given by first-class mail, hand-delivery (through a delivery service or otherwise), facsimile or E-mail, and shall be deemed to have been “sent” upon deposit in the U.S. mails with adequate postage properly affixed, upon delivery to an express delivery service, upon the electronic submission through telephonic services or, if by facsimile transmission, when sent against mechanical confirmation of successful transmission, as applicable. Each Debtor hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) with respect to Collateral that is (A) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or (B) is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (including, but not limited to, Investment Property), no notice of disposition need be given; and (ii) with respect to Collateral not described in clause (i), any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral required by law shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given at least ten days before such disposition.

(d) Each Debtor hereby agrees and acknowledges that a commercially reasonable disposition of Inventory, Equipment, Computer Hardware and Software or Intellectual Property may be by lease or license of, in addition to the sale of, such Collateral. Each Debtor further agrees and acknowledges that a disposition (i) made in the usual manner on any recognized market, (ii) at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition or (iii) in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition shall, in each case, be deemed commercially reasonable.

(e) Any cash proceeds of any disposition by the Agent of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent to payment of expenses in connection with the Collateral, including Attorney Costs, and thereafter to the payment of any and all of the Liabilities in such order of application as the Agent may from time to time elect. The Agent need not apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of collection and enforcement unless (i) the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable and (ii) the applicable Debtor has provided the Agent with a written demand to apply or pay over such noncash proceeds on such basis.

8. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Agent in good faith or by reason of any act or omission by the Agent pursuant to instructions from any Debtor.

To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Debtors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing 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, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including, without limitation, any warranties of title if not in violation of applicable law, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral, or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being specifically referred to in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any right to a Debtor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

9. General. Each Debtor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. The Debtors hereby ratify their authorization contained in Section 6(a) for the Agent to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction prior to the date hereof any financing statement or amendment thereto filed prior to the date hereof.

All notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent, in the case of any Debtor, to the address of the Company set forth on Schedule 13.3 of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of the Agent, at its address set forth on Schedule 13.3 to the Credit Agreement, or to such other address as each such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose; provided that notices to the Agent pursuant to Section 6(b), (c), (p), (q) or (r) may be delivered by email addressed to Michele Nowak at the Agent at ***@*** (or such other email address as the Agent shall provide to the Company from time to time). Notices sent by facsimile transmission or e-mail shall be deemed to have been given when sent against mechanical confirmation of successful transmission; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier shall be deemed to have been given when received.

Each of the Debtors agrees to pay all expenses, including Attorney Costs paid or incurred by the Agent or any Lender in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities of such Debtor, or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Agreement against such Debtor, and such obligations will themselves be Liabilities.

No delay on the part of the Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Liabilities have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated. If at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Agent or any Lender to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Agent or such Lender for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Debtor), such Liabilities shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Agent or such Lender, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Agent or such Lender had not been made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) in accordance with the provisions of clause (g) of Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a Disposition of the stock of any Subsidiary that is one of the Debtors (a “Sold Subsidiary”), or (b) a Subsidiary that is one of the Debtors is dissolved as permitted by the provisions of Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement (a “Dissolved Subsidiary”) then this Security Agreement shall, simultaneously with such Disposition or dissolution, automatically cease and terminate and be of no further force and effect as to the Sold Subsidiary or Dissolved Subsidiary (as the case may be), and the Agent shall execute and deliver such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to confirm the termination of this Security Agreement with respect to, and to release all security interests granted hereunder with respect to all Collateral owned by, the Sold Subsidiary of Dissolved Subsidiary (as the case may be).

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of New York (except to the extent that, pursuant to New York law, the perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection or the priority of any security interest granted hereunder may be determined in accordance with the laws of a different jurisdiction). Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

The rights and privileges of the Agent hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Agent a counterpart of this Agreement together with supplements to the Schedules hereto setting forth all relevant information with respect to such party as of the date of such delivery. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all the terms of, this Agreement.

ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND OR IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH A BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY OR OTHER SIMILAR LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDING IS PENDING AGAINST ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE DEBTORS. EACH DEBTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. EACH DEBTOR FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE ADDRESS OF ITS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE I HERETO (OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS IT SHALL HAVE SPECIFIED IN WRITING TO THE AGENT AS ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES HEREUNDER) OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH DEBTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

EACH OF EACH DEBTOR, THE AGENT AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
