Related to General Authority and Powers and Remedies Upon Default

• Rights and Remedies Upon Default Upon occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Notes, and the Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and/or any other applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction in which any Collateral is then located). Without limitation, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and powers: (a) The Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and the Company shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at the Company's premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Secured Party, without rent, all of the Company's respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured Party taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form. (b) The Secured Party shall have the right to operate the business of the Company using the Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Company or right of redemption of the Company, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of the Company, which are hereby waived and released.

• Remedies Upon Default Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral (other than Trademarks for which such assignment, transfer or conveyance would jeopardize the validity of such Trademark, for which the parties shall cooperate to find an alternative solution) by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine as directed in accordance with the Indenture (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral 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 law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine as directed in accordance with the Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral 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 sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

• Rights and Remedies Upon Breach If Executive breaches or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 5 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity:

• REMEDIES, ETC CUMULATIVE. Each and every right, power and remedy of the Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured Debt Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Secured Creditors agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Pledgee, in each case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, after the date on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Agreement.

• Events of Default Rights and Remedies on Default The occurrence of one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default":

• RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies: Accelerate Indebtedness. Declare all Indebtedness, including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Grantor.

• REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT (a) In addition to any other rights given to the Secured Parties hereunder, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and any Secured Party shall have declared the amounts owing under the Note(s) to be due and payable (or such amounts shall have automatically, become due and payable), all payments received by the Company under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be subject to the subordination provisions contained in the preceding Section 2, held by the Company in trust for the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of the Company and shall, if requested by any Secured Party forthwith upon receipt by the Company be turned over to the Secured Parties, in the same form as received by the Company (duly endorsed by the Company to the Secured Parties, if required). (b) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and subject to the subordination provisions of the preceding Section 2, any Secured Party may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement or in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations or at law or in equity, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company expressly agrees that in any such event, the Secured Parties, without demand of performance or other demand, (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Company or any other person may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange broker's board or at any of the Secured Parties’ offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption the Company hereby releases. The Company further agrees, at any Secured Party’s request, to assemble the Collateral, make it available to one or more of the Secured Parties at places which a Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at the Company's premises or elsewhere. The Secured Parties shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safe keeping or otherwise of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, the Company remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after the application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Secured Parties of any other amount required by any provision of law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. The Company agrees that a Secured Party need not give more than 10 days notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Company shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which a Secured Party is entitled. (c) The Company hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

• Remedies Upon Breach I understand that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and I consider them to be reasonable for such purpose. Any breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of such breach, the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, will be entitled to specific performance and other injunctive relief.

• Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default Each Assignor agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Collateral Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code in all relevant jurisdictions and may: (i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from such Assignor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon such Assignor's premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of such Assignor; (ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the Receivables and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent; (iii) withdraw all monies, securities and instruments in the Cash Collateral Account for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof; (iv) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof, or direct the relevant Assignor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case, take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation; (v) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the relevant Assignor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Assignor shall at its own expense:

• Remedies Standstill (a) The New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, agrees that, from the date hereof until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, neither the New First Lien Collateral Agent nor any New First Lien Secured Party will Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Common Collateral without the written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, and will not take, receive or accept any Proceeds of Common Collateral, it being understood and agreed that the temporary deposit of Proceeds of Common Collateral in a Deposit Account controlled by the New First Lien Collateral Agent shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement so long as such Proceeds are promptly remitted to the ABL Collateral Agent; provided that, subject to Section 4.1(b) and the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence of the New First Lien Enforcement Date, the New First Lien Collateral Agent acting on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties may exercise such remedies without such prior written consent of the other Collateral Agent. Subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, from and after the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred (or prior thereto upon the occurrence of the New First Lien Enforcement Date), the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under the New First Lien Documents or applicable law as to any Common Collateral. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a) or any other provision of this Agreement but subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party from (i) filing a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Obligations or New First Lien Obligations owed to it in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Grantor, (ii) taking any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens of the other Collateral Agent or other Secured Parties on the Common Collateral in which such other Collateral Agent or other Secured Parties has a priority Lien or the rights of the other Collateral Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any Common Collateral, (iii) filing any necessary or responsive pleadings in opposition to any motion, adversary proceeding or other pleading filed by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking disallowance of the claim or Lien of such Collateral Agent or Secured Party, (iv) filing any pleadings, objections, motions, or agreements which assert rights available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under any Insolvency Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, (vi) voting on any plan of reorganization or file any proof of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding of any Grantor, or (vii) objecting to the proposed retention of collateral by any other Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in full or partial satisfaction of any ABL Obligations or New First Lien Obligations due to such other Collateral Agent or Secured Party, in each case (i) through (vii) above to the extent not inconsistent with, or could not result in a resolution inconsistent with, the terms of this Agreement. (c) Subject to Section 2.3(b), (i) the New First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the New First Lien Secured Parties, agrees that neither it nor any such New First Lien Secured Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with respect to the Receivables Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of Receivables Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) the New First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the New First Lien Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such New First Lien Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the ABL Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the Receivables Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL Secured Parties is adverse to the interests of the New First Lien Secured Parties. (d) The New First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the New First Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any New First Lien Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with respect to the Receivables Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Documents. (e) Subject to Section 2.3(b), the New First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the New First Lien Secured Parties, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Collateral Agent upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Common Collateral. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2.3 shall not apply from and after the occurrence of the New First Lien Enforcement Date, subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
