clause (1), (2), (3) or (4), “ Subject
Property ”); provided , however , that the
foregoing exclusions shall not apply to the extent that any such

pursuant to Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the NY UCC
of any relevant jurisdiction or any other Applicable Law or
principles of equity; and provided , further , that
the security interest shall attach immediately to any portion of
such Subject Property that does not result in any of the
consequences specified above including, without limitation, any
Proceeds of such Subject Property; and
(B) the Collateral shall not

(b) Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from

financing statements (including fixture filings) with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto and
continuations thereof that contain the information required by
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable
jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment
or continuation, including whether such Grantor is an organization,
the type of organization and any organizational identification
number issued to such Grantor. Such financing statements may
describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or
may contain an indication or description of collateral that
describes such property in any other manner such as “all
assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired” of such Grantor or words of similar
effort as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail
and in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing
or covering the Collateral constituting minerals or the like to be
extracted or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of the real
property to which such Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to
provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon
request.
Each Grantor also ratifies
any authorization previously given in writing to the Collateral
Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing
statements or amendments thereto or continuations thereof if filed
prior to the date hereof.
The Collateral Agent is
further authorized to file with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any
successor office) such documents as may be necessary or advisable
for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing,
protecting or providing notice of the Security Interests granted by
each Grantor hereunder, without the signature of any Grantor, and
naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral
Agent as secured party.
9
This Agreement secures the
payment of all the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts
that constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed to the
Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties but for the fact that they
are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any
Grantor.
The Security Interests
created hereby are granted as security only and shall not subject
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way
alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with
respect to or arising out of the Collateral.
