Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, each Grantor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and the Grantors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Section Section 6.04 in accordance with Section 9.08. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral as permitted by this Section Section 6.04 and an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or other damage to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any suit, proceeding or other action against any Person so infringing necessary to prevent such infringement.
ARTICLE VII
RECEIVABLES
Section 7.01 Dealing With Receivables. Each Grantor shall keep and maintain at its own cost and expense complete records of each Receivable, including records of all payments received, all credits granted thereon, all merchandise returned and all other documentation relating thereto. Each Grantor shall, at such Grantor's sole cost and expense, upon the Collateral Agent's request made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, deliver copies of all tangible evidence of Receivables, including copies of all documents evidencing Receivables and any books and records relating thereto to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives. Each Grantor shall legend, at the request of the Collateral Agent and in form and manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Receivables and the other books, records and documents of such Grantor evidencing or pertaining to the Receivables with an appropriate reference to the fact that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein. Such Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of each material demand, notice or document received by it that questions or calls into doubt the validity or enforceability of more than 5% of the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Receivables.
Section 7.02 Modification of Receivables. Other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practice, such Grantor will not (i) grant any extension of the time of payment of any Receivable, (ii) compromise or settle any Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any Receivable, (iv) allow any credit or discount whatsoever on any Receivable or (v) amend, supplement or modify any Receivable in any manner that could adversely affect the value thereof.
ARTICLE VIII
REMEDIES
Section 8.01 Remedies.
(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise, without any other notice to or demand upon any Grantor, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or in any other Security Document or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may:
(i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent immediately, assemble the Collateral or any part thereof, as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent;
(ii) without notice except as specified below, sell, resell, assign and deliver or grant a license to use or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable;
(iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and
(iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Contracts, the Receivables and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal of, all funds with respect to the Deposit Accounts, (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivable and the other Collateral, including without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC and (D) exercise any and all voting, consensual and other rights with respect to any Collateral.
(b) Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' 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. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. Each Grantor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action with regard thereto. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent 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. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the type included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
(c) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all payments received by any Grantor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
(d) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or part of the Secured Obligations against any funds deposited with it or held by it.
(e) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of any or all of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents and take such other actions as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within five Business Days of written notice thereafter from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor's power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor's employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold by such Grantor under the Intellectual Property Collateral, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent's behalf.
(f) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Securities Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this Section 8.01, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will, at its own expense:
(i) provide the Collateral Agent with such information and projections as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, advisable to enable the Collateral Agent to effect the sale of such Securities Collateral;
(ii) cause any registration, qualification under or compliance with any federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors. Each Grantor will cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with all other requirements of any applicable Governmental Authority; and
(iii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Securities Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
(g) The Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Securities Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.01, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Securities Collateral: (i) any registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments thereto, prepared pursuant to Section 8.01(f); (ii) any information and projections provided to it pursuant to Section 8.01(f), and (iii) any other information in its possession relating to such Securities Collateral.
(h) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties by reason of the failure of such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in Section 8.01(f); and consequently, agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it will pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Securities Collateral on the date the Collateral Agent demands compliance with Section 8.01(f).
Section 8.02 No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.06), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or Event of Default. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
Section 8.03 Application of Proceeds. Upon the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, any proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any realization upon any Collateral shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Security Documents. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.01 Concerning Collateral Agent.
(a) Appointment. The Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and may act in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights (including making demands and giving notices) and take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the other Security Documents. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Purchase Agreement and the other Security Documents. On the acceptance of appointment as the successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.
(b) Duty of care. The Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral (including matters relating to the Pledged Securities, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters) or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.
(c) Reliance. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
(d) Conflict. If any item of Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other document in respect of such collateral, the provisions of this Agreement shall control unless the other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument expressly states otherwise.
(e) Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Security Documents and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among such parties, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
Section 9.02 Performance By Collateral Agent. If any Grantor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including covenants to pay insurance, taxes and claims arising by operation of law in respect of the Collateral and to pay or perform any Grantor obligations under any Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Grantor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may make payments for such purpose; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Grantor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Grantor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents. Any and all amounts so paid by the Collateral Agent shall be reimbursed by the Grantors in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.08. Neither the provisions of this Section 9.02 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.02 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default.
Section 9.03 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default in the Collateral Agent's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Security Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any liability to such Grantor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
Section 9.04 Continuing Security Interest and Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) be binding upon the Grantors, their respective successors and assigns and (b) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns and their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling Persons; provided that, no Grantor shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Security Documents.
Section 9.05 Termination and Release.
(a) At such time as the Notes and the other Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations in which no claim has been made or is reasonably foreseeable) and all obligations thereunder and under the other Security Documents have been terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or any further action by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Security Documents, then the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement in such Collateral shall be released, and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases and other documents necessary or advisable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral; provided that the Company shall provide to the Collateral Agent evidence of such transaction's compliance with the Security Documents as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. At the request and sole expense of the Company, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Equity Interests of such Grantor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Security Documents; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Company stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Security Documents.
Section 9.06 Modification in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall be effective, except by a written instrument signed by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents. Any amendment, modification or supplement of any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Grantor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
Section 9.07 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and, as to any Grantor, addressed to it at the address of such Grantor set forth in Schedule 1 hereof and as to the Collateral Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.
Section 9.08 Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Secured Party and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person, an "Indemnitee") from any losses, damages, liabilities, claims and related expenses (including the fees and expenses of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including any Grantor) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, a breach of such Grantor's representations, warranties, obligations or covenants hereunder and the enforcement of this Agreement or any failure of any Secured Obligations to be the legal, valid, and binding obligations of any Grantor enforceable against such Grantor in accordance with their terms, whether brought by a third party or by such Grantor, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided however that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Security Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the use of proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Security Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by unintended recipients.
(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor its Secured Obligations or otherwise protecting, enforcing or preserving any rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Security Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including the fees and other charges of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of internal counsel) to the Collateral Agent.
(d) All amounts due under this Section 9.08 shall be payable promptly and in any event not later than 10 Business Days after demand therefor, shall constitute Secured Obligations and shall bear interest until paid at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any past due amounts under the Notes.
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Grantor under this Agreement or any other Security Documents, the agreements and obligations of each Grantor contained in this Section 9.08 shall survive termination of the Security Documents and payment in full of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Security Documents.
Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York County, New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing by registered or certified mail a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof as of the date that is five Business Days after the mailing thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
Section 9.10 Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Security Documents, and any contemporaneous or subsequent separate agreements with respect to fees payable to the Collateral Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Collateral Agent and when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, ".pdf" format data file or similar electronically transmitted signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original signature.
Section 9.12 No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Security Document, nor the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Grantor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Grantor's part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral or from any liability to any Person in respect of any of the Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Grantor's part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Grantor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Grantor contained in this Agreement, or the other Security Documents, or in respect of the Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements or other documents included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Collateral. The obligations of each Grantor contained in this Section 9.12 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of such Grantor's other obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Security Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Joining Grantor hereby agrees as follows with the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties:
1. Joinder. The Joining Grantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally becomes a party to the Security Agreement as a Grantor and agrees to be bound by all the terms, conditions, covenants, obligations, liabilities and undertakings of each Grantor or to which each Grantor is subject thereunder, all with the same force and effect as if the Joining Grantor were a signatory to the Security Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as collateral security for the payment and performance in full of all the Secured Obligations, the Joining Grantor hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and grants to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a Lien on and security interest in and to, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral owned by it, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time and expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Grantor thereunder.
2. Affirmations. The Joining Grantor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to each of the covenants applicable to the Grantors contained in the Security Agreement. The Joining Grantor also represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that (i) it has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this Joinder Agreement and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Joinder Agreement; (ii) no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance, validity or enforceability of this Joinder Agreement that has not been obtained, made or completed; (iii) this Joinder Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Joining Grantor; and (iv) this Joinder Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Joining Grantor enforceable against such Joining Grantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
