(i) the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity;

Grantor’s Obligations Upon Default Upon the request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence of a Default, each Grantor will:
(a) assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Collateral Agent, whether at a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere;
(b) permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral;
(c) prepare and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as the Collateral Agent may request, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and furnish to the Collateral Agent, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the Collateral Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Collateral Agent may specify;
(d) take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral; and
(e) at its own expense, cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by each Grantor to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent and each Lender, at any time, and from time to time, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request, the following reports with respect to the applicable Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts.
Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution If any Guarantor (a “Retiring Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:
(a) that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and
(b) each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.
Deferral of Guarantors’ rights Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Credit Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Section 15:
(i) to be indemnified by a Credit Party;
(ii) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Credit Party’s obligations under the Credit Documents;
(iii) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Lender Creditors under the Credit Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Credit Documents by any Lender Creditor;
(iv) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Credit Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Section 15.01;
(v) to exercise any right of set-off against any Credit Party; and/or
(vi) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Credit Party in competition with any Lender Creditor. If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Lender Creditors by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Lender Creditors and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Section 4.
Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated, all Letters of Credit have expired, and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents and, if then outstanding and unpaid, all Hedging Liability and Bank Product Obligations have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Bank Product Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or other obligor or of any guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 13 with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.
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.
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS Until default and except as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness.
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:
Payments After Event of Default Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04 hereof, all payments received and amounts held or realized by the Mortgagee (including any amounts realized by the Mortgagee from the exercise of any remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease or Article IV hereof) after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and after the declaration specified in Section 4.04(b) hereof, as well as all payments or amounts then held by the Mortgagee as part of the Trust Indenture Estate, shall be promptly distributed by the Mortgagee in the following order of priority: First,so much of such payments or amounts as shall be required to (i) reimburse the Mortgagee or WTC for any tax (except to the extent resulting from a failure of the Mortgagee to withhold taxes pursuant to Section 2.04(b) hereof), expense or other loss (including, without limitation, all amounts to be expended at the expense of, or charged upon the rents, revenues, issues, products and profits of, the property included in the Trust Indenture Estate (all such property being herein called the “Mortgaged Property”) pursuant to Section 4.05(b) hereof) incurred by the Mortgagee or WTC (to the extent not previously reimbursed), the expenses of any sale, or other proceeding, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, and any other expenditures incurred or expenditures or advances made by the Mortgagee, WTC or the Note Holders in the protection, exercise or enforcement of any right, power or remedy or any damages sustained by the Mortgagee, WTC or any Note Holder, liquidated or otherwise, upon such Event of Default shall be applied by the Mortgagee as between itself, WTC and the Note Holders in reimbursement of such expenses and any other expenses for which the Mortgagee, WTC or the Note Holders are entitled to reimbursement under any Operative Agreement and (ii) all amounts payable to the other Indenture Indemnitees hereunder and under the Participation Agreement and the Lease; and in the case the aggregate amount to be so distributed is insufficient to pay as aforesaid in clauses (i) and (ii), then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in proportion to the amounts owed each hereunder; Second,so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to reimburse the then existing or prior Note Holders for payments made pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof (to the extent not previously reimbursed) shall be distributed to such then existing or prior Note Holders ratably, without priority of one over the other, in accordance with the amount of the payment or payments made by each such then existing or prior Note Holder pursuant to said Section 5.03 hereof; Third,(i) so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay in full the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of all Series A Equipment Notes, and the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon (other than Make-Whole Amount which shall not be due and payable) and all other Secured Obligations in respect of the Series A Equipment Notes (other than Make-Whole Amount) to the date of distribution, shall be distributed to the Note Holders of Series A, and in case the aggregate amount so to be distributed shall be insufficient to pay in full as aforesaid, then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in the proportion that the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of all Series A Equipment Notes held by each holder plus the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due hereunder or thereunder (other than Make-Whole Amount, if any) to the date of distribution, bears to the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of all Series A Equipment Notes held by all such holders plus the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon (other than Make-Whole Amount) to the date of distribution;
Release on Payment in Full Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of the Pledge Agreement on the Collateral.
