Pledged Shares to any third party. All such Pledged Shares are held
by each Debtor directly and not through any securities
intermediary.

Section 3.7 Intellectual
Property. Schedule
E is a true, accurate and complete list of all Patents,
Trademarks, Copyrights, Mask Rights and other intellectual property
owned or licensed (pursuant to an exclusive or non-exclusive
license) by the Debtors (as such Schedule E may from time to
time be supplemented, amended or modified in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement), and all such intellectual property, if
deemed desirable in such Debtor’s business judgment, has been
registered or filed with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable. Each
Debtor is now the sole owner of its Intellectual Property
Collateral, except for nonexclusive licenses granted by such to its
customers and resellers in the ordinary course of business. Each of
the issued Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the
Intellectual Property Collateral which had been registered has been
judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim
has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral
violates the rights of any third party. This Security Agreement
creates, and in the case of after-acquired Intellectual Property
Collateral, this Security Agreement will create at the time a
Debtor first has rights in such after-acquired Intellectual
Property Collateral, in favor of Agent a valid and perfected first
priority security interest and collateral assignment in the
Intellectual Property Collateral in the United States securing the
payment and performance of the Indebtedness. To its knowledge,
except for, and upon, the filing of UCC financing statements,
filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the
United States Copyright Office, or other notice filings or
notations in appropriate filing offices, if necessary to perfect
the security interests created hereunder, no authorization,
approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
United States governmental authority or United States regulatory
body is required for the grant by Debtors of the security interest
granted hereby, or for the execution, delivery or performance of
this Agreement by Debtors in the United States.
ARTICLE 4
COVENANTS
Each Debtor covenants and agrees
with the Agent that until the Indebtedness is paid and performed in
full and all commitments to lend or provide other credit
accommodations under the Credit Agreement have been
terminated:
Section 4.1
Encumbrances. The
Debtor shall not create, permit or suffer to exist, and shall
defend the Collateral against, any Lien (other than the Liens

permitted under Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement) or any
restriction upon the pledge or other transfer thereof (other than
as provided in the Credit Agreement), and shall, subject only to
the Permitted Liens and the other Liens permitted under
Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement, defend the Debtor’s
title to and other rights in the Collateral and the Agent’s
pledge and collateral assignment of and security interest in the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons. Except to
the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement or in connection with
any release of Collateral under Section 7.13 hereof (but only
to the extent of any Collateral so released), the Debtor shall do
nothing to impair the rights of the Agent in the
Collateral.
- 9 -
Section 4.2 Collection of
Accounts and Contracts . The Debtor shall, in accordance with its usual
business practices, endeavor to collect or cause to be collected
from each account debtor under its Accounts, as and when due, any
and all amounts owing under such Accounts.
Section 4.3 Disposition
of Collateral. To the
extent prohibited by the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Debtor
shall not enter into or consummate any transfer or other
disposition of assets without the prior written consent of the
Banks, according to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Section 4.4 Further
Assurances. At any
time and from time to time, upon the request of the Agent, and at
the sole expense of the Debtor, the Debtor shall promptly execute
and deliver all such further agreements, documents and instruments
and take such further action as the Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate to preserve and perfect its security
interest in and pledge and collateral assignment of the Collateral
and carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or to
enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. Except as
otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement
relating to disposition of assets except for Permitted Liens and
other Liens permitted by Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement,
the Debtor agrees to maintain and preserve the Agent’s
security interest in and pledge and collateral assignment of the
Collateral hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Debtor shall (a) execute and deliver to the
Agent such financing statements as the Agent may from time to time
require; and (b) execute and deliver to the Agent such other
agreements, documents and instruments, including without limitation
control agreements or stock powers, as the Agent may require to
perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of
the Liens intended to be created by the Loan Documents. The Debtor
authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of
the Collateral without the signature of the Debtor unless otherwise
prohibited by law. The Debtor authorizes and requests that the
Register of Copyrights and the Commissioner of Patents and
Trademarks record this Security Agreement, and any amendments
thereto, or copies thereof, or any separate instrument Debtor
executes and delivers to Agent to evidence the grant of security
interest hereunder.
Section 4.5
Insurance . The
Collateral pledged by such Debtor or the Debtors will be insured
(to the extent such Collateral is insurable) with insurance
coverage in such amounts and of such types as are customarily
carried by companies similar in size and nature. In the case of all
such insurance policies, each such Debtor shall designate the
Agent, as mortgagee or lender loss payee and such policies shall
provide that any loss be payable to the Agent, as mortgagee or
lender loss payee, as its interests may appear. Further, upon the
request of the Agent, each such Debtor shall deliver certificates
evidencing such policies, including all endorsements thereon and
those required hereunder, to Agent; and each such Debtor assigns to
Agent, as additional security hereunder, all its rights to receive
proceeds of insurance with respect to the Collateral. All such
insurance shall, by its terms, provide that the applicable carrier
shall, prior to any cancellation before the expiration date
thereof, mail thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to
the Agent of such cancellation. Each Debtor further shall provide
Agent upon request with evidence reasonably
- 10 -
satisfactory to Agent that each such Debtor is
at all times in compliance with this paragraph. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may act as
each such Debtor’s attorney-in-fact in obtaining, adjusting,
settling and compromising such insurance and endorsing any drafts.
Upon Debtor’s failure to insure the Collateral as required in
this covenant, Agent may procure such insurance and its costs
therefor shall be charged to Debtor, payable on demand, with
interest at the highest rate set forth in the Credit Agreement and
added to the Indebtedness secured hereby. The disposition of
proceeds payable to such Debtor of any insurance on the Collateral
(“Insurance Proceeds”) shall be governed by the
following:
|
|
(i)
|
provided that
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder,
(a) if the amount of Insurance Proceeds in respect of any loss
or casualty does not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000), such Debtor shall be entitled, in the event of such
loss or casualty, to receive all such Insurance Proceeds and to
apply the same toward the replacement of the Collateral affected
thereby or to the purchase of other assets to be used in the
Debtor’s business (provided that such assets shall be
subjected to a first lien in favor of Agent); and (b) if the
amount of Insurance Proceeds in respect of any loss or casualty
exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), such Insurance
Proceeds shall be paid to and received by Agent, for release to
such Debtor for the replacement of the Collateral affected thereby
