Each Debtor has the requisite corporate,

to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its
obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by
each Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein

rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of
equity.
(b)
The Debtors have no place of business or
offices where their respective books of account and records are
kept (other than temporarily at the offices of their attorneys or
accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located,
except as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. The
Debtors own of record, subject only to Permitted Liens (as defined
in the Notes), the real property where such Collateral is located,
as identified on Schedule A . Except as disclosed on
Schedule A , none of such Collateral is in the possession of
any consignee, bailee, warehouseman, agent or processor.

sole owners of the Collateral, free and clear of any liens,
security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and are fully
authorized to grant the Security Interests. Except with
respect to Permitted Liens and except as set forth on Schedule
B attached hereto, there is not on file in any governmental or
regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective
financing statement, security agreement, license or transfer or any
notice of any of the foregoing (other than those that will be filed

agency any other financing statement or other similar document or
instrument (except to the extent filed or recorded in favor of the
Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement).
(d)
No written claim has been received by any
Debtor that any Collateral or Debtor's use of any Collateral
violates the rights of any third party. There has been no adverse
decision to any Debtor's claim of ownership rights in or exclusive
rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to any Debtor's
right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and
effect, and there is no proceeding involving said rights pending
or, to the best knowledge of any Debtor, threatened before any
court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency,
arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e)
Each Debtor shall at all times maintain
its books of account and records relating to the Collateral at its
principal place of business (except when temporarily kept at the
offices of its attorneys or accountants) and its Collateral at the
locations set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and may
not relocate such books of account and records or tangible
Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Party at least 30 days

other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interests to
create in favor of the Secured Party, subject to Permitted Liens, a
valid, perfected and continuing perfected first priority lien in
the Collateral.

This Agreement creates in favor of the
Secured Party a valid, security interest in the Collateral, subject
only to Permitted Liens (as defined in the Notes), securing the
payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon making the
filings described in the immediately following paragraph, all
security interests created hereunder in any Collateral which may be
perfected by filing UCC financing statements shall have been duly
perfected. Except for the filing of the UCC financing
statements referred to in the immediately following paragraph, the
recordation of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (as
defined below) with respect to copyrights and copyright
applications in the United States Copyright Office referred to in
paragraph (p), and
the delivery of the certificates and other instruments
provided
6
in Section 3, no
action is necessary to create, perfect or protect the security
interests created hereunder. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, except for the filing of said financing
statements and the recordation of said Intellectual Property
Security Agreement, no consent of any third parties and no
authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or
filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is
required for (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, (ii) the creation or perfection of the Security
Interests created hereunder in the Collateral or (iii) the

recording agencies in any jurisdiction deemed proper by it, which
UCC financing statement may describe the collateral as “All
assets”.
(h)
The execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement by the Debtors do not (i) violate any of the
provisions of any Organizational Documents of any Debtor or any
judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or
arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to
any Debtor or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice,
lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or
other instrument (evidencing any Debtor's debt or otherwise) or
other understanding to which any Debtor is a party or by which any
property or asset of any Debtor is bound or affected. If any, all
required consents (including, without limitation, from stockholders
or creditors of any Debtor) necessary for any Debtor to enter into
and perform its obligations hereunder have been obtained.
(i)
The capital stock and other equity
interests listed on Schedule H hereto (the “
Pledged Securities ”) represent all of the capital
stock and other equity interests in and to the Guarantors and the
other subsidiaries of the Company, and represent all capital stock
and other equity interests owned, directly or indirectly, by the
Company. All of the Pledged Securities are validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company is the legal and
beneficial owner of the Pledged Securities, free and clear of any
lien, security interest or other encumbrance except for the
security interests created by this Agreement and other Permitted
Liens. Each Debtor shall cause the pledge and security
interest of the Secured Party to be duly noted in its corporate
books and records.
(j)
The ownership and other equity interests
in partnerships and limited liability companies (if any) included in the Collateral
(the “ Pledged Interests
”) by their express terms do not provide that they are
securities governed by Article 8 of the UCC and are not held in a
securities account or by any financial intermediary.

(k)
Except for Permitted Liens (as defined in
the Notes), each Debtor shall at all times maintain the liens and
Security Interests provided for hereunder as valid and perfected
first priority liens and security interests in the Collateral in
favor of the Secured Party until this Agreement and the Security
Interests hereunder shall be terminated pursuant to Section 14
hereof. Each Debtor hereby agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to defend the same against the claims of any and
all persons and entities and to safeguard and protect all
Collateral for the account of the Secured Party. At the
reasonable request of the Secured Party, each Debtor will sign and
deliver to the Secured Party at any time or from time to time one
or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Secured Party and will pay the cost of filing
the same in all public offices wherever filing is necessary to
effect the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor shall pay all
fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral
and the Security Interests hereunder, and each Debtor shall obtain
and furnish to the Secured Party from time to time, upon demand,
such releases and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may
be required to maintain in accordance with this Agreement the
priority of the Security Interests hereunder.
(l)
Except for Permitted Liens (as defined in
the Notes), no Debtor will transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber,
license, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral (except
for non-exclusive licenses granted by a Debtor in its ordinary
course of business and sales of inventory by a Debtor in its
ordinary course of business) without the prior written consent of
the Secured Party.
(m)
Each Debtor shall keep and preserve its
equipment, inventory and other tangible Collateral in good
condition, repair and order and shall not operate or locate any
such Collateral (or cause to be operated or located) in any area
excluded from insurance coverage.
(n)
Each Debtor shall maintain with
financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to
the Collateral, including Collateral hereafter acquired, against
loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured
against by entities of established reputation having similar
properties similarly situated and in such amounts as are
customarily carried under similar circumstances by other such
entities and otherwise as is prudent for entities engaged in
similar businesses but in any event sufficient to cover the full
replacement cost thereof. Each Debtor shall cause each
insurance policy issued in connection herewith to provide, and the
insurer issuing such policy to certify to the Secured Party that
(a) the Secured Party will be named as lender loss payee and
additional insured under each such insurance policy; (b) if such
insurance be proposed to be cancelled or materially changed for any
reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify the Secured
Party and such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to
the Secured Party for at least thirty (30) days after receipt by
the Secured Party of such notice, unless the effect of such change
is to extend or increase coverage under the policy; and (c) the
Secured Party will have the right (but no obligation) at its
election to remedy any default in the payment of
8
premiums within thirty (30) days of
notice from the insurer of such default. If no Event of
Default (as defined in the Notes) exists and if the proceeds
arising out of any claim or series of related claims do not exceed
$100,000, loss payments in each instance will be applied by the
applicable Debtor to the repair and/or replacement of property with
respect to which the loss was incurred to the extent reasonably
feasible, and any loss payments or the balance thereof remaining,
to the extent not so applied, shall be payable to the applicable
Debtor, provided, however, that payments received by any Debtor
after an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or in excess of
$100,000 for any occurrence or series of related occurrences shall
be paid to the Secured Party and, if received by such Debtor, shall
be held in trust for the Secured Party and promptly paid over to
the Secured Party unless otherwise directed in writing by the
Secured Party. Copies of such policies or the related
certificates, in each case, naming the Secured Party as lender loss
payee and additional insured shall be delivered to the Secured
Party at least annually and at the time any new policy of insurance
is issued.
(o)
Each Debtor shall, within ten (10) days
of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the Secured Party promptly,
in sufficient detail, of any material adverse change in the
Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would have a
material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the
Secured Party’s security interest therein.
(p)
Each Debtor shall promptly execute and
deliver to the Secured Party such further deeds, mortgages,
assignments, security agreements, financing statements or other
instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and take such
further action as the Secured Party may from time to time request
as necessary to perfect, protect or enforce the Secured
Party’s security interest in the Collateral (including,
without limitation, the execution and delivery of a separate

in a form reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party.
(q)
Each Debtor shall permit the Secured
Party and its representatives and agents reasonable access to

Debtor’s business operations, and to make copies of records

Secured Party from time to time.

reasonably necessary to diligently pursue and seek to preserve,

attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process levied
against any Collateral and of any other information received by
such

effect on the value of the Collateral, the Security Interest or the
rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder.

hereafter supplied to the Secured Party by or on behalf of any
Debtor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete in
all material respects as of the date furnished.

and good standing and any rights and franchises material to their
respective businesses.

organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational
identification number (if it has one), legal or corporate
structure, or identity, or add any new fictitious name unless it
provides at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the
Secured Party of such change and, at the time of such written
notification, such Debtor provides any financing statements or
fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue the perfection of
the Security Interests granted and evidenced by this Agreement.

its Inventory on bill and hold, sale or return, sale on approval,
