Exercise of Remedies

Remedies Upon Event of Default:  General

to require a Guarantor to assemble and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Collateral Agent;

personally or by agents or attorneys, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and, to the extent a Guarantor can give authority therefor, without liability for trespass and without notice or judicial process, to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of, or removing, the Collateral;

to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral that would otherwise be payable to a Guarantor and to instruct Account Debtors and any other obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent and to exercise any and all remedies of a Guarantor in respect of such Collateral;

to transfer or assign all or any part of the Collateral (including any letters of credit of which a Guarantor is the named beneficiary) into the Collateral Agent’s name or the name of its nominee and to execute such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such transfers and assignments;

to give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the owner thereof (each Guarantor irrevocably constituting and appointing the Collateral Agent as proxy and attorney-in-fact of a Guarantor, with full power of substitution to do so);

to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Collateral Agent in its absolute discretion may determine.  Any such sale or other disposition may be effected by means of a public or private sale in accordance with the requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of section 9-613 of the UCC and such other mandatory requirements of Applicable Law as may apply to the disposition. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at the time or place to which it has been so adjourned.  Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral free from any right or equity of redemption.  The Collateral Agent is authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with any sale of Collateral as it may be advised by counsel is necessary or desirable in order to (i) avoid any violation of Applicable Law or (ii) obtain any required governmental approval of the sale or purchase, and a Guarantor agrees that such compliance shall not result in such purchase or sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or accountable to a Guarantor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is disposed of in compliance with any such limitation or restriction; and

to take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of section 9-607(a) of the UCC.

Decree for Specific Performance

Additional Remedies:  Accounts Receivable

In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent so directs a Guarantor, that Guarantor shall (i) cause all payments on account of the Accounts Receivable and Contracts to be made directly to such account as the Collateral Agent shall instruct in writing, (ii) deliver all tangible evidence of its Accounts Receivable and Contracts and related books and records to the Collateral Agent or its representatives; (iii) permit the Collateral Agent, at its option, to directly notify any or all Account Debtors to make payments directly

to the Collateral Agent or as it may otherwise direct, (iv) legend, in form and manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Accounts Receivable and the Contracts, as well as books, records and documents (if any) of a Guarantor evidencing or pertaining to such Accounts Receivable and Contracts with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts Receivable and Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent, for and of behalf of the Lender, has a security interest therein, and (v) permit the Collateral Agent to enforce collection of any such Accounts Receivable and Contracts and adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as a Guarantor.

The costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), whether incurred by a Guarantor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the Guarantor.  The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in Section 3.4(a) to the Guarantor, provided that the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify the Guarantor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.4(a) and no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type described in subsection [(j) of the Event of Default section of] the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

Additional Remedies:  Intellectual Property

Additional Remedies:  Pledged Collateral and Deposit Accounts

In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, without notice to a Guarantor, transfer or direct the transfer of funds from one or more Deposit Accounts, to satisfy the Obligations.

In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, without notice to a Guarantor, (i) transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral to its name or the name of its nominee or agent, and (ii) exchange any certificates representing any Investment Property or Instruments for certificates or Instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

automatically, in the case of an Event of Default under subsection [(j) of the Event of Default section] of the Credit Agreement and otherwise upon notice from the Collateral Agent to a Guarantor, all rights of a Guarantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto will cease and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent which will have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights provided that the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, permit a Guarantor to exercise such rights irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred or notice as aforesaid has been delivered; and

automatically, in the case of an Event of Default under subsection [(j) of the Event of Default section] of the Credit Agreement and otherwise upon notice from the Collateral Agent to a Guarantor, all rights of a Guarantor to dividends, distributions, interest or principal that a Guarantor is authorized to receive pursuant to this Agreement or the Credit Agreement will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which will have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, distributions, interest and principal.

In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise its voting and other consensual rights and to receive all dividends, distributions, interest and principal that it may be entitled to receive hereunder a Guarantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

Each Guarantor understands that compliance with United States federal securities laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same.  Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky laws or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.  Each Guarantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its

sole discretion, may (i) proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof has been filed under United States federal securities laws, and (ii) approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions.  In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent will incur no responsibility or liability for selling Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached.  The provisions of this Section 3.6(e) will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices might exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

Rights Cumulative

Exercise of Rights and Remedies

In no event shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to exercise any right or remedy against any other Person obligated with respect to, or any other collateral security for, the Obligations prior to exercising its rights hereunder.

Perpetual Bar

Any sale or other disposition (whether in the course of a realization or otherwise) of Collateral by the Collateral Agent or its representatives or agents shall operate to divest all right, title, interest and claim, either at law or in equity, of a Guarantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against a Guarantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of.

Each purchaser at any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall hold the property so sold or transferred to it absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of a Guarantor, and each Guarantor waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after any disposition, and all rights, if any, of marshaling the Collateral and all rights, if any, of stay or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law now existing or hereafter enacted.  

Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (whether by the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by the Collateral Agent of the purchase price therefor shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

Application of Proceeds

first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of any such sale, collection, realization or other disposition, including compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any Credit Document;

Documentation; Further Assurances

Each Guarantor has delivered to the Collateral Agent fully executed UCC financing statements, mortgages and other appropriate filings, recordings and registrations containing a complete and accurate description of the Collateral for filing in all recording offices of each jurisdiction where is may be necessary or desirable to do so to publish notice of, protect the validity of, and establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lender, in, all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof).

If a Guarantor fails to perform any act required by this Section 4.3, the Collateral Agent may (in the name of the Guarantor or otherwise) perform or cause to be performed, such act.  Each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any financing statements, continuation statements, amendments to financing statements or other documents in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the Security Interest.

As each of its Accounts Receivable arises, the Guarantor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it, and all records, papers and documents relating to it (if any), are genuine and what they purport to be, and that all such papers and documents (if any) (i) represent, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, the genuine, legal, valid and binding obligation of the Account Debtor enforceable in accordance with its terms and evidencing indebtedness unpaid and owed by the Account Debtor arising out of the performance of labor or services or the sale or

lease and delivery of the merchandise listed therein, or both, and (ii) are the only original writings evidencing or embodying such obligation of the Account Debtor named therein (other than copies created for general accounting purposes).

As at the date of this Agreement, Schedule 5.1(r) sets out a complete list of all Deposit Accounts in which the Guarantor has an interest.  Except for Excluded Accounts indicated on Schedule 5.1(r), the Guarantor is the sole account holder of each Deposit Account in which it has an interest and it has not consented to, and is not otherwise aware of, any Person (other than the Collateral Agent) having “control” (as defined in section 9-104 of the UCC) over, or any other interest in, any of its Deposit Accounts or any money or other property deposited therein.

As at the date of this Agreement, Schedule 5.1(s) sets out a complete list and description of the Pledged Stock, Pledged Partnership Interests and Pledged LLC Interests pledged hereunder by the Guarantor to and in favour of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lender and, in each case, the list sets out that percentage of the issued and outstanding interests of all classes of each issuer thereof.

No Person other than the Collateral Agent has “control” (as defined in sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) over any Pledged Collateral and, other than the Pledged Partnership Interests and the Pledged LLC Interests that constitute General Intangibles, there is no Pledged Collateral other than (i) Pledged Collateral that is represented by certificated securities or Instruments that are in the possession of the Collateral Agent, (ii) Pledged Collateral held in a securities account over which the Collateral Agreement has control, (iii) Pledged Collateral

consisting of securities accounts and financial assets credited thereto that are linked by a sweep mechanism to a Deposit Account over which the Collateral Agent has control, and (iv) Investment Property constituting uncertificated securities that are subject to control arrangements satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

There are no restrictions on transfer in the LLC Agreements governing any Pledged LLC Interests, in the Partnership Agreements governing any Pledged Partnership Interests or in any other agreement relating to the Pledged Collateral which would limit or restrict (i) the grant of a security interest in the Pledged LLC Interests, the Pledged Partnership Interests or the Pledged Stock, (ii) the perfection of such security interest, (iii) the exercise of remedies in respect of such security interest, or (iv) the transfer of the Pledged LLC Interests, the Pledged Partnership Interests or the Pledged Stock, in each case as contemplated by this Agreement.

Each of the Pledged Collateral consisting of Instruments has been delivered to the Collateral Agent.

As at the date of this Agreement, Schedule 5.1(w) sets out a complete list and description of each Pledged Note.  Each of the Pledged Notes constitutes the legal and valid obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable principles.

Schedule 5.1(x) contains copies of all UCC financing statements and other filings (including, to the extent required by the Collateral Agent, any filings made in the USPTO or the US Copyright Office), recordings or registrations that have been delivered to the Collateral Agent prior to the date hereof for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office in the jurisdictions identified in Schedule 5.1(d).  Such filings, recordings and registrations contain an accurate description of the Collateral and are all of the filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary as at the date hereof to publish notice of, protect the validity of, and establish a legal, valid and perfected Security Interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Lender) in, all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States.

General Covenants

The Guarantor shall, at its own cost and expense, take any and all necessary actions to defend its title to the Collateral, the Security Interest and the priority of the Security Interest against any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances).  Except as otherwise permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor shall take no action to impair the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lender in the Collateral.

So long as any Obligations remain outstanding, the Guarantor shall not file or authorize to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to the Collateral, except financing statements filed in connection with the Security Interest or Permitted Encumbrances.

The Guarantor shall pay promptly when due all property and other material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Collateral and its other property and assets, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which the Guarantor maintains adequate reserves.

The Guarantor shall not distribute, sell, assign, license, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent while the Obligations are outstanding, except for the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Unless the Guarantor has given the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior notice thereof, the Guarantor shall not change its name, type of entity, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number (if any) or the location of its principal place of business or chief executive office.  In any such case, the Guarantor shall provide a supplement to Schedule 5.1(d) which shall update and correct all information contained therein.  The Guarantor shall cooperate with the Collateral Agent in making all filings that are required in the opinion of the Collateral Agent in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a legal, valid and perfected first priority Security Interest in all the Collateral subject only to Permitted Encumbrances.  If the Guarantor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number.

The Guarantor shall keep at its address indicated on Schedule 5.1(d) as its principal place of business or chief executive office (as such Schedule may be updated pursuant to Section 5.2(e)) its corporate records and all records, documents and instruments constituting, relating to, or evidencing Collateral, including originals of all documentation with respect thereto, records of all payments received, all credits granted thereon, all merchandise returned and all other dealings therewith.  The Guarantor shall permit the Collateral Agent and its agents and representatives, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to inspect the Collateral, to examine and make copies of the records referred to above, and to discuss matters relating to the Collateral directly with the Guarantor’s officers and employees.

The Guarantor shall not assume or operate in any jurisdiction under any new trade, fictitious or other name until it has given the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice of its intention to do so, clearly describing such new name and the jurisdictions in which such new name will be used and providing such other information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.  In any such case, the Guarantor shall provide a supplement to Schedule 5.1(f) which shall update and correct all information contained therein.  The Guarantor shall

cooperate with the Collateral Agent in making all filings that are required in the opinion of the Collateral Agent in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a legal, valid and perfected first priority Security Interest in all the Collateral subject only to Permitted Encumbrances.

Upon the Guarantor obtaining knowledge thereof, it shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any event that could materially and adversely affect the value of the Collateral or any material portion thereof, the ability of the Guarantor or the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any material portion thereof, or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent in relation thereto.

[Reserved].

A Guarantor shall promptly and in any event within 15 days of its filing, deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Schedule 5.1(o) describing each new Commercial Tort Claim with an individual value in excess of $500,000 for which a Guarantor has filed a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Special Covenants:  Accounts Receivable

As between a Guarantor on the one hand and the Collateral Agent and the Lender on the other, each Guarantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each Account Receivable or Contract relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

Each Guarantor shall collect from each Account Debtor named in any Accounts Receivable or obligor under any Contract, as and when due, any and all amounts owing under or on account of such Account Receivable or Contract, and apply all such amounts to the outstanding balance of such Account Receivable or under such Contract.  

Each Guarantor shall, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, transfers, endorsements, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps, including any and all actions as may be necessary or required, whether under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or otherwise, relating to its Accounts Receivable and Contracts, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require.

Special Covenants:  Inventory and Equipment

To the extent practicable, each Guarantor shall, if any warehouse receipt or a receipt in the nature of a warehouse receipt is issued with respect to any of its Inventory, request that such warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature thereof shall not be negotiable (as such term is used in section 7-104 of the UCC).

Each Guarantor shall keep its Equipment and Inventory (other than Inventory in transit) at the locations specified on Schedule 5.1(d) unless it shall have notified

the Collateral Agent in writing, at least 30 days prior to any change in location, identifying the new location and providing such information in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.  In any such case, each Guarantor shall provide a supplement to Schedule 5.1(d) which shall update and correct all information contained therein.  Each Guarantor shall cooperate with the Collateral Agent in making all filings that are required in the opinion of the Collateral Agent in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change of location to have a legal, valid and perfected Security Interest in the Collateral subject only to Permitted Encumbrances.

A Guarantor shall not deliver any Document evidencing any of its Equipment or Inventory to any Person other than the issuer of such Document to claim the Goods evidenced thereby or the Collateral Agent.

In producing its Inventory, each Guarantor will comply with all requirements of Applicable Law, including the Fair Labor Standards Act.

With respect to Equipment, Inventory or other Goods of a Guarantor having an aggregate value equal to or greater than $1,000,000 which are in the possession or under the control of any one third party, including warehousemen, bailees, agents or processors (but excluding, in each case (x) any Equipment, Inventory  or other Goods out for repair or (y) or any Equipment, Inventory or other Goods at a customer’s location or on a job site) for a period of more than 90 days at any time, a Guarantor shall notify such third party of the Security Interest and obtain a written acknowledgement that it will (i) hold such Equipment, Inventory or other Goods subject to the Security Interest and the instructions of the Collateral Agent, and (ii) waive and release any Lien held by it with respect to such Equipment, Inventory or other Goods, whether arising by operation of law or otherwise.  With respect to any such Equipment, Inventory or other Goods having an aggregate value of less than $1,000,000, a Guarantor shall notify the third party of the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a written acknowledgement from such third party that it will (i) hold such Equipment, Inventory or other Goods subject to the Security Interest and the instructions of the Collateral Agent, and (ii) waive and release any Lien held by it with respect to such Equipment, Inventory or other Goods, whether arising by operation of law or otherwise.

Special Provisions Regarding Documents, Letters of Credit, etc.

Unless the Collateral Agent otherwise consents in writing (which consent may be revoked), each Guarantor shall deliver to Collateral Agent all Collateral consisting of negotiable Documents, Chattel Paper and Instruments (in each case, accompanied by endorsements or other instruments of transfer executed in blank) promptly after the Guarantor receives the same.

Each Guarantor shall take all steps necessary to grant the Collateral Agent control of all electronic Chattel Paper with a face amount in excess of $1,000,000 in accordance with the UCC and all transferable records as defined in each of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act.

If a Guarantor retains possession of any Chattel Paper or Instruments with the Collateral Agent’s consent, such Chattel Paper and Instruments shall be marked with the following legend:  “This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lender.”

Each Guarantor shall, with respect to any letter of credit issued to the Guarantor after the date hereof (other than letters of credit (i) constituting Supporting Obligations with a value of less than $1,000,000, or (ii) with a face amount less than $1,000,000), use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the issuer thereof to the assignment of the proceeds of the letter of credit to the Collateral Agent.  In any such case, the Guarantor shall promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent supplements to Schedule 5.1(p), describing such letters of credit.

Special Covenants:  Intellectual Property

Each Guarantor shall, with respect to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright registrations and applications and any Patent Licenses, Trademark Licenses and Copyright Licences acquired by the Guarantor after the date of this Agreement, deliver to the Collateral Agent supplements to Schedule 5.1(i), describing in such detail as the Collateral Agent may request, the new Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and licences.

Each Guarantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any Intellectual Property may become invalidated, abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development regarding the Guarantor’s ownership of any such Intellectual Property, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

A Guarantor shall not do or cause to be done any act or omission whereby any Patent would become invalidated or dedicated to the public.

Each Guarantor shall take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the USPTO, the US Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States, to maintain and pursue each application relating to the Intellectual Property, and to obtain the relevant grant or registration and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights, including making timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees.

If any Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to a Guarantor is infringed, misappropriated, or diluted by another Person, the Guarantor shall promptly take all reasonable actions to stop such infringement, misappropriation, or dilution and to protect its rights in such Intellectual Property including the initiation of suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages.

A Guarantor shall not sell, assign, license, dispose of or otherwise divest itself of any right under any Intellectual Property without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent or as otherwise permitted in the Credit Agreement.

If a Guarantor is requested by the Collateral Agent to deliver short-form security agreements with respect to its Intellectual Property forming part of the Collateral, complete copies of such short-form security agreements containing a full and complete description of all such Collateral shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording in the USPTO, the US Copyright Office and otherwise as may be appropriate pursuant to the laws of any other jurisdiction, to protect the validity of, and to establish a legal, valid and perfected Security Interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Lender) in, all such Collateral consisting of Patents, registered Trademarks and registered Copyright in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States.  

Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, a Guarantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by a licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect an assignment of all of the Guarantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

Special Covenants:  Pledged Collateral and Deposit Accounts

Without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Guarantor will cause or permit the Pledged LLC Interests, the Pledged Partnership Interests or the Pledged Stock of any Guarantor in any issuer that is a limited liability company or partnership to constitute a security governed by Article 8 of the UCC unless the applicable Guarantor, if it has not already done so, complies with Section 5.7(e) and Section 5.7(f) with respect to such security.

If a Guarantor acquires rights in any Pledged Collateral or establishes any securities accounts or commodity accounts after the date hereof, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent not less than 10 days prior to any such acquisition, a supplement to the applicable Schedule reflecting such new Pledged Collateral, securities account or commodity account, as the case may be.

With respect to Collateral consisting of securities accounts, securities entitlements, commodity accounts or commodity contracts (other than securities accounts and financial assets credited thereto that are linked by a sweep mechanism to a Deposit Account over which the Collateral Agent has "control"), a Guarantor shall cause the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, as applicable, maintaining such securities account, securities entitlement or commodity account to enter into account control agreements satisfactory to the Collateral Agent within 30 days of the date of this Agreement (or such longer period of time as may be acceptable to Collateral Agent in its sole discretion).

With respect to each Deposit Account (except for Excluded Accounts indicated on Schedule 5.1(r)), the relevant Guarantor shall cause the depositary bank to enter into account control agreement satisfactory to the Collateral Agent within 30 days of the date of this Agreement (or such longer period of time as may be acceptable to Collateral Agent in its sole discretion).  If a Guarantor intends to acquire or establish any Deposit Accounts, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent not less than 10 days prior to such acquisition or establishment, a supplement to Schedule 5.1(r) describing the new Deposit Account with such information as the Collateral Agent may request.  Upon any termination by a Guarantor of a Deposit

Account, a Guarantor will promptly transfer all funds and property held in such terminated Deposit Account to another Deposit Account, unless such funds are otherwise used as expressly permitted and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

With respect to any Pledged Collateral constituting certificated securities acquired or pledged after the date hereof, it shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent all such certificated securities, stock powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and all such instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to give effect to the pledge granted hereby and obtain control thereof.

With respect to any Pledged Collateral constituting uncertificated securities acquired or pledged after the date hereof, such Guarantor will cause the issuer thereof either (a) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such securities or (b) to agree in an authenticated record with such Guarantor and the Collateral Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such securities originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Guarantor, such authenticated record to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (c) upon request by the Collateral Agent, provide to the Collateral Agent an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, confirming such pledge and perfection thereof and (d) if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, request the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to cause such Pledged Collateral to become certificated and in the event such Pledged Collateral become certificated, to deliver such Pledged Collateral to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7(e).

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and Section 3.6 of this Agreement:

a Guarantor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement;

the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to a Guarantor all proxies and other instruments as the Guarantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Guarantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights when and to the extent that it is entitled to exercise the same pursuant to clause (i) above and to receive the dividends and other distributions that it is entitled to receive pursuant to clause (iii) below; and

a Guarantor may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by the Credit Agreement.  All non cash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions and all dividends or other distributions paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus,

and all other distributions (other than distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock of the issuer of any Pledged Collateral or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, will be and become part of the Collateral without any further action.  A Guarantor will promptly take all steps, if any, required or necessary to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, “control” (as defined in Article 8 or Article 9 of the UCC, as applicable) of the Collateral Agent of such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions (including delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent), and pending any such action the Guarantor will be deemed to hold same in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and such property will be segregated from all other property of the Guarantor.  In any such case, each Guarantor shall provide supplements to the applicable schedules with a description, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, of all such property.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, the Lender and each of their respective affiliates and each of their

No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to a Guarantor or any of its affiliates, security holders or creditors for or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Guarantor agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement will (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations, and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person who was at any time a Collateral Agent or Indemnified Party.

No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise and no delay in exercising any power or right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or consent to any departure by a Guarantor therefrom will in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by Section 6.8(b), and then such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to, or demand on, a Guarantor will entitle that Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof (other than any provision that expressly states that such provision may be waived or extended by the Collateral Agent in its discretion) may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Guarantors, subject to any consent required in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
