ARTICLE V

DEFAULT

5.1Acceleration and Remedies.

5.1.1Upon the acceleration of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Article VII thereof, the Obligations under the Credit Agreement and, to the extent provided for under the Swap Agreements and the Banking Services Agreements evidencing the same, the Swap Obligations and the Banking Services Obligations, shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and the Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence or at the direction of the Required Lenders, upon such acceleration, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)

Those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided that this clause (i) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default.

(ii)

Those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.

(iii)

[Intentionally Omitted].

(iv)

Without notice except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 hereof or elsewhere herein, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

(v)

Concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof.

5.1.2The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

5.1.3The Administrative Agent 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, in any such case, in a manner consistent with Sections 5.1 and 8.1, to purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.

5.1.4Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral in connection with the exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section 5.1, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate

for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or, subject to any limitations set forth in the Loan Documents, for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

5.1.5Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

5.1.6Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with Section 5.1.1 above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale conducted in a manner consistent with Sections 5.1 and 8.1 shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.

5.2Grantors’ Obligations Upon an Event of Default. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:

5.2.1Assembly of Collateral. Assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent the Collateral and all records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent.

5.2.2Secured Party Access. Permit the Administrative Agent, by the Administrative Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use 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, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy.

5.2.3[Intentionally Omitted].

5.2.4[Intentionally Omitted].

5.3License. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Article V at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license, sublicense or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Article VII thereof, without charge, each Grantor’s

Intellectual Property including in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral, and, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Article VII thereof, such Grantor’s rights under all licenses included in the Collateral and all franchise agreements included in the Collateral shall inure to the Administrative Agent’s benefit, to the extent not in violation of any agreements with respect thereto. In addition, each Grantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent may, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Article VII thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of any licenses or other grants of rights to such Grantor, any agreement granting any right by such Grantor as of the Effective Date and any agreement granting any right by such Grantor after the Effective Date entered into in accordance with the Loan Documents, sell, license or sublicense any of such Grantor’s Collateral directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s Collateral from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may sell Collateral which bears any Trademark or licensed to such Grantor, and any Collateral that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Administrative Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Collateral as provided herein; provided that the applicable Grantor shall have such rights of quality control and inspection which are reasonably necessary to maintain the validity and enforceability of such Trademarks. Each Grantor’s rights of quality control and inspection shall not be unreasonably asserted so long as the Administrative Agent (or its licensee or agent) maintains quality control standards at least as high as those maintained by such Grantor prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

The Administrative Agent agrees that in connection with any foreclosure or other exercise of rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to Intellectual Property, the rights of licensees that are not Loan Parties under Permitted Licenses will not be terminated, limited or otherwise adversely affected so long as no circumstances exist under the applicable license that would permit the licensor to terminate such license (commonly known as non-disturbance).

ARTICLE VI

WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent and each Grantor, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth; provided that (a) the addition of any Material Domestic Subsidiary as a Grantor hereunder by execution of a Security Agreement Joinder shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution of any documentation by any other Grantor party hereto, (b) no consent of any party hereto or any Secured Party shall be required in connection with any release or discharge of any Lien granted hereunder that occurs automatically in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or this Security Agreement and (c) the Schedules hereto may be updated or supplemented from time to time by any Grantor (or the Borrower on behalf of all the Grantors party hereto) upon notice by such Grantor (or the Borrower on behalf of all the Grantors party hereto) to the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Joinder, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded

shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties until the termination of this Security Agreement pursuant to Section 8.14.

ARTICLE VII

PROCEEDS; COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES

7.1Special Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent may, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, require all cash proceeds of the Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Administrative Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations. No Grantor shall have any control whatsoever over said cash collateral account. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders), from time to time, apply the collected balances in said cash collateral account to the payment of the Secured Obligations then due. If no Event of Default then exists, upon the Borrower’s request therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deposit the collected balances in said cash collateral account into the applicable Grantor’s general operating account with the Administrative Agent or as otherwise directed by such Grantor in writing.

7.2Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to payment of the Secured Obligations as provided under Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Borrower, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten (10) days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral in connection with any exercise of such Secured Party’s rights and remedies in accordance with the Loan Documents, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party or their respective Related Parties as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable law. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other Loan Document, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

8.2Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and other Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control, in accordance with Section 9-207 of the UCC

or any other applicable law. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.

8.3Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor and the Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable and accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

8.4Secured Party Performance of Xxxxxxx’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed (but failed) to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and such Grantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any reasonable amounts paid by

the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4 (subject to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 8.12). Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

8.5Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Collateral owned by such Grantor and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property as may be necessary or advisable to give the Administrative Agent Control over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to enforce payment of the Accounts and Receivables in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Grantor, (vi) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Administrative Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VII and (vii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith on the terms set forth in Section 8.12; provided that this authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.

8.6Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.2 or 8.8 or in Article VII hereof will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.

8.7Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Article VII thereof, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Grantors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Secured Obligations are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy.

8.8Dispositions Not Authorized. No Grantor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1.5 hereof and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the Administrative Agent or other conduct of the Administrative Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1.5 hereof) shall be binding

upon the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders.

8.9Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

8.10Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, unless such assignment is made with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.

8.11Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

8.12Taxes and Expenses. Any obligation of the Loan Parties under Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement to pay any additional amounts to, or indemnify, the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any Indemnified Taxes that are required to be withheld or deducted from payments made to any Lender or to pay for, or indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender for, any Other Taxes, shall apply mutatis mutandis (and without duplication) to each Grantor with respect to this Agreement and payments made hereunder. The Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any and all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement on the terms and subject to the limitations contained in Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement. Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.

8.13Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

8.14Termination and Release. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until, and shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person, upon, the satisfaction of the Final Release Conditions. Upon (i) any sale or other disposition (other than any lease or license) by any Grantor (other than to another Grantor) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created hereunder in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement or

(iii) any property of any Grantor that becomes Excluded Assets, in each case that results in a release of such Collateral from the Lien granted hereunder in accordance with Section 9.02(d) of the Credit Agreement, such Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens granted hereunder. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 8.14, the Administrative Agent shall (in accordance with Section 9.02(d) of the Credit Agreement) execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release and deliver to such Grantor, at the expense of such Grantor, any portion of such Collateral so released that is in possession of the Administrative Agent. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 8.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent except as may otherwise be expressly agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent and such Grantor.

8.15Entire Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

8.16.3Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 8.16.2. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

8.16.4Each party to this Security Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Article IX of this Security Agreement. Nothing in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Security Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

8.16.5WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

8.17Indemnity. Each Grantor hereby agrees, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all Liabilities and related expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.03(c) of the Credit Agreement with respect to legal fees and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition of any Collateral (including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties or any Grantor, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Controlled Related Parties in performing its activities or services under this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) a breach in bad faith by such Indemnitee or any of its Controlled Related Persons of its material obligations under this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (iii) any dispute solely among Indemnitees (not arising from any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) other than claims against an Indemnitee acting in its capacity as, or in fulfilling its role as, the Administrative Agent or an Arranger under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This ‎Section 8.17 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim; provided further that, no Grantor shall be liable for any settlement of any claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or administrative, judicial or regulatory action or proceeding effected without such Grantor’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

8.18Severability. Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.

8.19Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Security Agreement and/or any document to be signed in connection with this Security Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures (as defined below), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form,

each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be. As used herein, “Electronic Signatures” means any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, any contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.

8.20Limitations on the Rights of Secured Parties Generally. No Secured Party that obtains the benefits of this Security Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement that obtains the benefit of this Security Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, under Article VIII of the Credit Agreement.
