where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and
remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in
any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted,
including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted
by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership
pertaining to the Collateral as if the Administrative Agent were the sole
and absolute owner thereof (and each Obligor agrees to take all such action
as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);
(d) the Administrative Agent in its discretion may, in its name or in
the name of the Obligors or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive
any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in
exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do
so; and
(e) the Administrative Agent may, upon ten business days' prior
written notice to the Obligors of the time and place, with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof that shall then be or shall thereafter come
into the possession, custody or control of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders or any of their respective agents, sell, lease, assign or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as
the Administrative Agent 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 above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived),
and the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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
Security Agreement
------------------
-17-
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
Obligors, 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 Trademark Collateral, the goodwill
connected with and symbolized by the Trademark Collateral subject to such
disposition shall be included, and the Obligors shall supply to the
Administrative Agent or its designee, for inclusion in such sale,
assignment or other disposition, all Intellectual Property relating to such
Trademark Collateral. The Administrative Agent 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.
The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section
5.05, including by virtue of the exercise of the license granted to the
Administrative Agent in Section 5.04(b) hereof, shall be applied in accordance
with Section 5.09 hereof.
The Obligors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state
securities laws, the Administrative Agent 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
Obligors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms
less favorable to the Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent shall have no
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 respective Issuer or
issuer thereof to register it for public sale.
5.06 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other
realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof are
insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment
in full of the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall remain liable for any
Security Agreement
------------------
- 18 -
deficiency to the extent the Obligors are obligated under this Agreement.
5.07 Removals, Etc. Without at least 30 days' prior written notice to
the Administrative Agent, no Obligor shall (i) maintain any of its books and
records with respect to the Collateral at any office, or maintain its principal
place of business at any place, or permit any Inventory and Equipment to be
located anywhere, other than at the address indicated beneath the signature of
the Borrower to the Credit Agreement or at one of the locations identified in
Annex 6 hereto under its name or in transit from one of such locations to
another or (ii) change its name, or the name under which it does business, from
the name shown on the signature pages hereto.
5.08 Private Sale. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof conducted in a
commercially reasonable manner. Each Obligor hereby waives any claims against
the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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 Administrative
Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more
than one offeree.
5.09 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly
provided, 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 Administrative Agent under Section 4 hereof or this Section 5, shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent:
First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of such
collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the fees and expenses of
its agents and counsel, and all reasonable expenses incurred and advances
made by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith;
Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations other than
Secured Obligations constituting Other Indebtedness, in each case equally
and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and
owing or as the Lenders holding the same may otherwise agree;
Security Agreement
------------------
-19-
Next, to the payment in full of all other Secured Obligations
(including all Other Indebtedness), equally and ratably in accordance with
the respective amounts thereof then due and owing or as the Lenders holding
the same may otherwise agree; and
Finally, to the payment to the respective Obligor, or their respective
successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct,
of any surplus then remaining.
As used in this Section 5.09, "proceeds" of Collateral means cash,
securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind
of, Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization,
liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Obligors or any issuer of or obligor on
any of the Collateral.
5.10 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted
by this Agreement to the Administrative Agent while no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed the
attorney-in-fact of each Obligor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions
of this Section 5 and taking any action and executing any instruments that the
Administrative Agent 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
Administrative Agent shall be entitled under this Section 5 to make collections
in respect of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and
power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of
any Obligor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect
of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
5.11 Perfection. Prior to or concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, each Obligor shall (i) file such financing
statements and other documents in such offices as the Administrative Agent may
request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3 of this
Agreement, (ii) cause the Administrative Agent to be listed as the lienholder on
all certificates of title or ownership relating to Motor Vehicles owned by such
Obligor and (iii) deliver to the Administrative Agent all certificates
identified in Annex 1 hereto, accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed
in blank.
Security Agreement
------------------
-20-
5.12 Termination. When all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in
full and the Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement shall have
expired or been terminated, this Agreement shall terminate, and the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith 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 Obligor and to be released and canceled all
licenses and rights referred to in Section 5.04(b) hereof. The Administrative
Agent shall also execute and deliver to the respective Obligor 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 Obligor to effect the
termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral.
5.13 Further Assurances. Each Obligor agrees that, from time to time
upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, such Obligor will execute
and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order fully to effect the
purposes of this Agreement.
5.14 Release of Motor Vehicles. So long as no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, upon the request of any Obligor, the Administrative
Agent shall execute and deliver to such Obligor such instruments as such Obligor
shall reasonably request to remove the notation of the Administrative Agent as
lienholder on any certificate of title for any Motor Vehicle; provided that any
such instruments shall be delivered, and the release effective only upon receipt
by the Administrative Agent of a certificate from such Obligor stating that the
Motor Vehicle the lien on which is to be released is to be sold or has suffered
a casualty loss (with title thereto passing to the casualty insurance company
therefor in settlement of the claim for such loss).
Section 6. Miscellaneous.
6.01 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and demands hereunder
shall be in writing and telecopied or delivered to the intended recipient at its
"Address for Notices" specified pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Credit
Agreement and shall be deemed to have been given at the times specified in said
Section 12.01.
Security Agreement
------------------
-21-
6.02 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay
in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The
remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law.
6.03 Amendments, Etc. The terms of this Agreement may be waived,
altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by each
Obligor and the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Lenders as
specified in Section 12.03 of the Credit Agreement). Any such amendment or
waiver shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and each Lender, each
holder of any of the Secured Obligations and each Obligor.
6.04 Expenses. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to reimburse
each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and
expenses of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection
with (i) any Default and any enforcement or collection proceeding resulting
therefrom, including, without limitation, all manner of participation in or
other involvement with (w) performance by the Administrative Agent of any
obligations of the Obligors in respect of the Collateral that the Obligors have
failed or refused to perform, (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
foreclosure, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or any actual or attempted
sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in
respect of any of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and
defending or asserting rights and claims of the Administrative Agent in respect
thereof, by litigation or otherwise, including expenses of insurance, (y)
judicial or regulatory proceedings and (z) workout, restructuring or other
negotiations or proceedings (whether or not the workout, restructuring or
transaction contemplated thereby is consummated) and (ii) the enforcement of
this Section 6.04, and all such costs and expenses shall be Secured Obligations
entitled to the benefits of the collateral security provided pursuant to Section
3 hereof.
6.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each Obligor,
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each holder of any of the Secured
Obligations (provided, however, that no Obligor shall assign or transfer its
Security Agreement
------------------
-22-
rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent).
6.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing
any such counterpart.
6.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
6.08 Captions. The captions and section headings appearing herein are

for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it in good faith.
6.10 Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
(i) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such
jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Administrative

as nearly as may be possible and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Credit Agreement, each Lender has appointed Xxxxxx Commercial Paper Inc. as its
Administrative Agent for purposes of this Agreement. Following the payment in
full of all Secured Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the
termination or expiration of the Commitments thereunder, the provisions of said
Section 11.01 shall be deemed to continue in full force and effect for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. In that connection,
following such payment in full and expiration and termination of the
Commitments, the term "Majority Lenders" (as used in said Section 11.01) shall
