(c) The Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Lender also may rely upon any statement made to it orally (including by telephone) and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Lender may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Additional Secured Party shall deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and accept and acknowledge its rights, duties and obligations as if it were a Secured Party to this Agreement as of the Closing Date (including the appointment of the Lender to act as its agent for the purposes of perfecting and maintaining the security interest in the Collateral on its behalf).

REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1. Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of the Lender on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may
(i) take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process;
(ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties,
(iii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below, lease, license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at any public or private sale, at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) All cash Proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Lender against all or any part of the Obligations as set forth in Section 4.4(b) of the Credit Agreement.
(c) The Lender may:
(i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Lender or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the Lien hereunder,

(iii) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Collateral Account;
(iv) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto,
(v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral,
(vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral, and
(vii) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
SECTION 6.2. Securities Laws. If the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Capital Securities pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(iv), each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Lender, such Grantor will, at its own expense:
(a) execute and deliver, and cause (or, with respect to any issuer which is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each issuer of the Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Lender, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto;
(b) use its best efforts to exempt the Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Lender;
(c) cause (or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each such issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and

(d) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Lender by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section and consequently agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value (as determined by the Lender) of such Collateral on the date the Lender shall demand compliance with this Section.
SECTION 6.3. Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Lender be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
SECTION 6.4. Protection of Collateral. The Lender may from time to time, at its option, perform any act which any Grantor fails to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) and the Lender may from time to time take any other action which the Lender deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.
