included in the Collateral shall be untrue or incorrect in any material respect,
the Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, perform the obligation or
remedy that breach, or cause it to be performed or remedied, and the expenses
incurred by or on behalf of the Lender in connection with the performance of the
obligation or the remedy of the breach shall constitute Obligations.
Section 7.03. Duties of the Lender.
(a) Duties. The powers conferred on the Lender by this Agreement are
solely to protect the Lender's interest in the Collateral and shall not impose
on the Lender any duty to exercise any powers. Except for the safe custody of
any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received
by it under this Agreement, the Lender shall not have any duty or liability as
to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights
against prior parties or as to any other rights or matters pertaining to any
Collateral. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Lender
treats the Collateral substantially the same as it treats similar property of
its own.
(b) Not Responsible. The Lender shall not have any responsibility or
liability for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any
Collateral, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have
25
knowledge of such matters, (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights
against any parties with respect to any Collateral, (iii) collecting any
proceeds of any Collateral or by reason of any invalidity, lack of value or
uncollectability of any of the payments received by it from obligors or
otherwise or (iv) any other matter in connection with any Loan Document except
in respect of duties specifically undertaken by it in this Agreement and in that
case, the Lender shall not be liable to any party in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE VIII
Termination and Waiver
Section 8.01. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create
a continuing security interest in, Lien on, and pledge of, the Collateral,
without respect to the amount of the Obligations outstanding from time to time,
and shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid and otherwise performed in full in cash. Thereafter, this
Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Person or otherwise,
all as though the payment had not been made.
Section 8.02. Termination. Upon the indefeasible payment and
performance of the Obligations in full in cash, the security interests granted
by this Agreement shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert
to the Borrower. At the Borrower's expense, the Lender shall then execute and
deliver to the Borrower the documents reasonably requested and prepared by the
Borrower to evidence the termination.
Section 8.03. Waivers. The Borrower unconditionally waives, to the full
extent permitted by law (a) any defense, set-off or counterclaim which the
Borrower may otherwise assert against the Lender, (b) presentment, protest,
demand for payment, promptness, diligence, notice of protest, notice of any
other action at any time taken or omitted by the Lender and, generally, all
demands and notices of every kind in connection with the Loan Documents or the
Obligations, including, without limitation, all notices which may be required to
preserve intact any rights against the Borrower under the Loan Documents or as a
requirement to the enforcement, assertion or exercise against the Borrower of
any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred under the Loan Documents, (c)
any requirement to exhaust any rights or remedies or to mitigate the damages
resulting from a default under the Loan Documents or any requirement to protect,
secure, perfect or insure any security interest, pledge or lien, (d) all
equities and rights of appraisal, stay and redemption (whether now or hereafter
existing), in each case arising out of the Lender enforcing any of its rights
and remedies under the Loan Documents, or (e) any other circumstance whatsoever
which might otherwise constitute a defense to or a legal or equitable discharge
or release of a party granting security or which might otherwise limit recourse
against the Borrower.
26
Section 8.04. Obligations Not Affected. The rights of the Lender and
the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be absolute and
unconditional, present and continuing and shall remain in full force and effect
and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by any circumstance
or condition of any nature (whether or not the Borrower or the Lender shall have
any notice or knowledge of the circumstance or condition), including, without
limitation (a) the invalidity, illegality, unenforceability, discharge,
termination, cancellation or frustration, in whole or in part, of any
Obligation, or any of the Loan Documents, (b) the exercise or failure to
exercise by any person or entity of any right, remedy, privilege or power under
the Loan Documents, (c) any demand or attempt to collect from, or failure to
demand or attempt to collect from, the Borrower or any other Person under the
Loan Documents, (d) any change in the time, place or manner of payment or the
waiver, consent, extension, renewal, indulgence, compromise, release,
settlement, refunding, funding, or any other forbearance or other action taken,
delayed or omitted by the Borrower, the Lender or any other Person under or in
respect of any term or provision of any Obligation or any of the Loan Documents,
(e) the termination, modification, alteration, amendment, waiver, addition,
deletion or other change to any Obligation or any of the Loan Documents or any
provision of any of those documents, or (f) the voluntary or involuntary
bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar proceedings involving or
affecting the Borrower or any other Person or any of their property.

Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
provision of this Agreement and (b) article, section, subsection, schedule and

parties hereto except for the assignment of all or any part of the rights and
obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, which may be assigned by the

attempted assignment in contravention of this Section will be void ab initio and
will not relieve the assigning party of any obligation under this Agreement
Section 9.10. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure or delay by any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a
waiver of the right, power or privilege. A single or partial exercise of any

privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan

manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto
will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the

property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of these courts. Each
of the Borrower and the Lender hereby irrevocably waives any objection,

the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the
bringing of any Action in those jurisdictions.
