4.7 Private Sale. Each Debtor recognizes that the Secured Parties may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.

The Secured Parties shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any such Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale provided for in this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, and so long as the Secured Parties conduct such sale in a commercially reasonable manner each Debtor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Parties 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 which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Secured Parties accept the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

Each Debtor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion or all of any such Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Debtor’s expense. Each Debtor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 4.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4.7 shall be specifically enforceable against Debtors by the Secured Parties, and each Debtor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8 Termination; Partial Release of Collateral. This Agreement and the Liens and security interests granted hereunder shall not terminate until the full and complete performance and indefeasible satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than Obligations which expressly survive by their terms and contingent indemnification Obligations), whereupon the Secured Parties shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral to or on the order of Debtors. The Secured Parties shall execute and deliver to Debtors upon such termination all such documentation as shall be reasonably requested by Debtors or otherwise necessary to effect the termination and release of all Liens and security interests in favor of the Secured Parties affecting the Collateral.

If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred to or otherwise disposed of by any Debtor in a transaction permitted by and in compliance with all applicable provisions of the applicable Transaction Document, then the Liens granted hereunder with respect to such Collateral shall be automatically released (unless otherwise specified herein or in the other Transaction Documents), all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and the Secured Parties shall, at the written request and sole expense of such Debtor, execute and deliver to such Debtor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral.

4.9 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written reasonable request of the Secured Parties or any of their respective Representatives, and at the sole expense of Debtors, Debtors will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take such further actions as the Secured Parties or any of their respective Representatives may reasonably require in order for the Secured Parties to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted in favor of the Secured Parties, including, without limitation, using Debtors’ commercially reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to the Secured Parties of any Collateral held by Debtors or in which a Debtor has any rights not heretofore assigned.

4.10 Limitation on Duty of Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties under this Agreement are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ rights and interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon them to exercise any such powers. Each Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither the Secured Parties nor any of their respective Representatives nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtors for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Secured Parties and any of their respective Representatives shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in their possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Secured Parties or any of their respective Representatives, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of the type of Collateral involved, it being understood and agreed that neither the Secured Parties nor any of their respective Representatives shall have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care set forth above) to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.
