11

shall be held in trust by such Grantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties and as promptly as possible remitted or delivered to the Secured Parties Representative for application as provided herein);

(iv) the Secured Parties Representative may require the Grantors to assemble the Collateral at such place or places, convenient to the Secured Parties and the Grantors, as the Secured Parties Representative may direct;

(v) the Secured Parties Representative may require the Grantors to cause the Pledged Shares to be transferred of record into the name of the Secured Parties Representative or its nominee (and the Secured Parties Representative agrees that if any of such Pledged Shares is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, the Secured Parties Representative will thereafter promptly give to the respective Grantor copies of any notices and communications received by them with respect to such Pledged Shares); and

(vi) the Secured Parties Representative may sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places as the Secured Parties Representative deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Secured Parties Representative or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Grantors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. In the event of any sale, assignment, or other disposition of any of the Collateral consisting of Trademarks, the goodwill connected with and symbolized by the Trademarks subject to such disposition shall be included. The Secured Parties Representative may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.

(vii) The Proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.05, including by virtue of the exercise of any license granted to the Secured Parties Representative in Section 4.04(b), shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.09.

(b) Certain Securities Act Limitations. The Grantors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Secured Parties Representative may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Secured Parties Representative than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Secured Parties Representative shall have no

12

obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

(c) Notice. The Grantors agree that to the extent the Secured Parties Representative is required by applicable law to give reasonable prior notice of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, ten business days’ notice shall be deemed to constitute reasonable prior notice.

4.06 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.05 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity or reimbursement obligations or Warrant Obligations), the Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

4.07 Locations; Names, Etc. No Grantor shall (i) change its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the NYUCC), (ii) change its name from the name shown as its current legal name on Annex 1, or (iii) agree to or authorize any modification of the terms of any item of Collateral that would result in a change thereof from one Uniform Commercial Code category to another such category (such as from a General Intangible to Investment Property), if the effect thereof would be to result in a loss of perfection of, or diminution of priority for, the security interests created hereunder in such item of Collateral, or the loss of control (within the meaning of Section 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of the NYUCC) over such item of Collateral, unless in each case 30 days’ prior written notice has been provided to the Control Agent and such change is not otherwise restricted by the terms of any Loan Document.

4.08 Private Sale. The Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 4.05 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Parties or any of them arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Secured Parties Representative accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

4.09 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided and except as provided below in this Section 4.09, the Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Secured Parties Representative under this Section 4, shall be applied by the Secured Parties Representative:

First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Secured Parties and the fees and expenses of their agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Secured Parties in connection therewith;

13

Next, to the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity or reimbursement obligations or Warrant Obligations) in such order as the Secured Parties in their sole discretion determine; and

Finally, to the payment to the respective Grantor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

4.10 Attorney in Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Secured Parties, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in writing by the Majority Lenders in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Secured Parties Representative (and any of the Secured Parties Representative’s officers or employees or agents appointed by the Secured Parties Representative) is hereby appointed the attorney in fact of each Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4 and taking any action and executing any instruments that the Secured Parties Representative may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney in fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Secured Parties Representative shall be entitled under this Section 4 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Secured Parties Representative shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Grantor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

4.11 Perfection and Recordation. Each Grantor authorizes the Secured Parties to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property and fixtures” of such Grantor (provided that no such description shall be deemed to modify the description of Collateral set forth in Section 3).

4.12 Termination. When all Secured Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than inchoate indemnity or reimbursment obligations or the Warrant Obligations), this Agreement automatically shall terminate, and each Secured Party shall, upon request of Grantors, cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the respective Grantor and to be released and canceled all licenses and rights referred to in Section 4.04(b), in each case, at Grantors’ sole expense. Each Secured Party shall also, at the expense of such Grantor, execute and deliver to such Grantor upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, certificates for terminating the liens on the Motor Vehicles and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the respective Grantor to effect the termination and release of the liens on the Collateral as required by this Section 4.12, in each case, at Grantors’ sole expense.

4.13 Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the Majority Lenders, such Grantor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Majority Lenders may request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement. The Secured Parties shall release any lien covering any asset that has been disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.
