(vii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though

Section 7. REMEDIES.

(a) Generally.

(i) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any First Lien Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:

(1) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Trustee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Trustee and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at a place to be designated by the Collateral Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(2) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;

(3) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Trustee deems appropriate;

(4) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Trustee may deem commercially reasonable; and

(ii) The Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Trustee, as Collateral Trustee for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the First Lien Obligations as a

credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Trustee at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Trustee to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the First Lien Obligations, each Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee to collect such deficiency. each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Trustee, that the Collateral Trustee has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the First Lien Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Trustee hereunder.

(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Trustee may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(iv) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to marshall any of the Collateral.

(v) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral after notice to the Grantors, of the existence of the security

interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Trustee, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;

(1) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by any Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by the Section in this Agreement relating to Cash Proceeds (Section 8(d) hereof); and

(2) Grantors shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.

(b) Application of Proceeds. All proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Trustee against, the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(c) Sales on Credit. If Collateral Trustee sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Trustee and applied to indebtedness of the Purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Trustee may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

(d) Cash & Cash Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (1) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and (2) all Cash and Cash Proceeds shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Trustee in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, if required) and held by the Collateral Trustee. All such funds from any Deposit Account, Cash and Cash Proceeds or any other Money held by the Collateral Trustee may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Trustee, (A) be held by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of each Secured Party, as collateral security for the First Lien Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Trustee against the First Lien Obligations then due and owing in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(e) Intellectual Property. In addition to the rights and remedies specified above, the following provisions shall also be applicable to Intellectual Property.

(i) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(1) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right (but not the obligation) , upon one business day’s notice, or if necessary in the Collateral Trustee’s reasonable judgment to protect the Collateral, to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Trustee or otherwise, in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Trustee, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Trustee in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Trustee as provided in the Section in this Agreement relating to indemnity and expenses in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Trustee shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor, subject to its exercise of its reasonable business judgment, agrees to use all commercially reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement; and

(2) upon written demand from the Collateral Trustee, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Trustee or such Collateral Trustee’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, subject to Grantor’s retention of a non-exclusive license in such Intellectual Property as necessary for Grantor to continue to conduct its business, and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;

(ii) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Trustee to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as the Collateral Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Trustee, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of the Trademark Owner to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned by or licensed to such Grantor.

the benefits hereof.

in whole, upon (a) payment in full and discharge of all outstanding Secured Debt and (b) termination or expiration of all commitments to extend credit under all Secured Debt Documents and the cancellation or termination or cash collateralization (at the lower of (1) 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount and (2) the percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount required for release of Liens under the terms of the applicable Secured Debt Documents) of all outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to any Secured Debt Documents;

(2)

as to any Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any other Pledgor to a Person that is not (either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of Ziff Davis in a transaction or other circumstance that complies with the “Asset Sale” provisions of the indenture and is permitted by all of the other Secured Debt Documents, at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition or to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of; provided that the collateral trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral will not be released if the sale or disposition is subject to Section 5.01 of the Indenture;

(3)	as to a release of less than all or substantially all of the Collateral, if consent to the release of all Secured Liens on such Collateral has been given by an Act of Required Debtholders; and

Section 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF FIRST LIEN OBLIGATIONS

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated and Collateral released from the security interest in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement. Any other contingent obligation included in the First Lien Obligations shall be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Secured Debt Documents, each Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any First Lien Obligations held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to each Secured Party herein or otherwise.

Subject to subsections (b), (c) and (d) of Section 10.03 of the Indenture, Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Agreements at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Security Agreements. In addition, upon the request of the Company pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder have been met and stating whether or not such release is in connection with an Asset Sale and (at the sole cost and expense of the Company) the Collateral Trustee will release Collateral that is sold, conveyed or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture; provided that if such sale, conveyance or disposition constitutes an Asset Sale, the Company will apply the Net Proceeds in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture. Upon receipt of such Officers’ Certificate the Collateral Trustee shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to the Indenture or the Security Agreements.

(i) No Collateral may be affirmatively released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Agreements pursuant to the provisions of the Security Agreements unless the certificate required by Section 10.03 of the Indenture has been delivered to the Collateral Trustee.

(ii) At any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee has delivered a notice of acceleration to the Collateral Trustee, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of the Security Agreements will be effective as against the Holders of Notes (as defined in the Indenture).

(iii) The release of any Collateral from the terms of the Indenture and the Security Agreements will not be deemed to impair the security under the Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreements. To the extent applicable, the Company will cause TIA § 313(b), relating to reports, and TIA § 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities from the Lien and security interest of the Security Agreements and relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien and security interest of the Security Agreements, to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA § 314(d) may be

made by an Officer of the Company except in cases where TIA § 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person will be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or approved by the Trustee (as defined in the Indenture) and the Collateral Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care.

Section 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL TRUSTEE MAY PERFORM.

The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and the interests of the Secured Parties and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Trustee accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Trustee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor and pending such payment shall be included in the obligations secured hereby.

Section 11. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES.

(i) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(ii) Expenses. Each Grantor agrees to pay promptly all the actual costs and reasonable expenses of creating and perfecting Liens in favor of Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of each Secured Party pursuant hereto, including search, filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Collateral Trustee and of counsel providing any opinions that Collateral Trustee may request in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents; all the actual costs and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers; all the actual costs and reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any appraisers, consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by Collateral Trustee and its counsel) in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; and after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by Collateral Trustee in enforcing any First Lien Obligations of or in

collecting any payments due from any Grantor hereunder or under the other Secured Debt Documents by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

Section 12. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 7.6 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(b) Amendments and Waivers.

(i) Collateral Trustee’s Consent. Subject to Section 7.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Collateral Trustee.

(ii) No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Trustee in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights, powers and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Secured Debt Documents are cumulative, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

(c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns including all persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder.

(d) Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

(e) Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof.

(f) Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Grantor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the First Lien Obligations.

(g) Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(h) Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

(i) APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(j) CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY GRANTOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE GRANTOR AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.6 OF THE COLLATERAL TRUST AGREEMENT; AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE GRANTOR IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND AGREES COLLATERAL TRUSTEE RETAINS THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY GRANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(k) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER SECURED DEBT DOCUMENTS. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH

PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 13(K) AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

(l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(m) Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Grantors and the Collateral Trustee of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

(n) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Secured Debt Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Trustee and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Secured Debt Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Trustee have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.
