Each Grantor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file, and ratifies any such filings made prior to the date hereof, against such Grantor by Secured Party, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the UCC in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, no Grantor shall be required to take any action with respect to the creation, perfection or recordation (or any similar action) of any Lien of Secured Party or any other Investor on any Collateral in or under the law of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any relevant state thereof.
Section 3. Principles Applicable to the Collateral. The parties agree that, at all times during the term of this Agreement, the following provisions shall be applicable to the Collateral:

5
(b) Each Grantor shall maintain and keep (i) its principal place of business and its chief executive office, and (ii) its records concerning the Collateral of such Debtor at the address of the Debtor set forth on the first signature page of this Agreement and at no other location, in each case, without providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Secured Party.
(c) Notwithstanding the security interest in the Collateral granted to and created in favor of Secured Party under this Agreement, each Grantor shall have the right, until such time as Secured Party shall have notified Grantor that it has revoked such right upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to collect any and all Accounts at its own cost and expense.
(d) Secured Party (acting at the direction of Required Holders) shall have the right when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (i) to revoke the right of Grantor granted under Section 3(a) by written notice to Debtor to such effect, (ii) to take over and direct collection of any and all Accounts of Grantor, (iii) to give notice of Secured Party’s security interest in such Accounts to any or all persons obligated to Grantor thereon, and (iv) to direct such persons to make payment of such Accounts directly to Secured Party.
(e) Unless and until an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and Secured Party shall have delivered a notice contemplated by Section 3(f) below, each Grantor shall be entitled to vote, consent and take any other action with respect to the Pledged Securities in any manner not inconsistent with the terms of any Transaction Document, and Secured Party will, if so requested, execute appropriate revocable proxies therefor.
(f) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if and to the extent that Secured Party (acting at the direction of Required Holders) shall so notify Grantor in writing, only Secured Party shall be entitled to vote or consent or take any other action with respect to the Pledged Securities (and Grantor will, if so requested, execute appropriate proxies therefor).
Section 4. Guarantee.
Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, to Secured Party, for the ratable benefit of the Investors, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, or amended and modified, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal, or amendment or modification, of any Obligation. Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Debtor or any other Grantor of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Secured Party or any other Investor to any security held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Secured Party or any Investor in favor of the Debtor or any other person.

For the avoidance of doubt, only the Secured Party (with the consent and at the direction of the Required Holders), not any Investor acting
9
individually on its own behalf, may exercise any such rights and remedies. Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party shall have the following rights, exercisable on behalf of the Investors after ten (10) days’ prior written notice (or such longer period, if any, required by applicable law) to Debtor and without prior judicial hearing or legal proceedings, all of which each Grantor hereby expressly waives:
(i) to enter any premises where Collateral is located and to take possession and control of the same;
(ii) to enforce collection, at Grantor’s expense and either in the name of Secured Party or the name of Grantor, of any or all of the Accounts by suit or otherwise, to surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or to compromise or extend or renew (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder;
(iii) to sell all or any portion of the Collateral at public or private sale at such place or places and at such time or times and in such manner and upon such terms, whether for cash or credit, as Secured Party in its sole discretion may determine; and
(iv) to endorse in the name of Grantor any instrument, howsoever received by Secured Party, representing proceeds of any of the Collateral.
Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any realization of the Collateral after default first to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with such sale or other disposition or realization, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, second to the repayment of the Obligations to Secured Party and the Investors in accordance with this Agreement, the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement, whether on account of principal or interest or otherwise, pro rata, based on the then unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes held by each Investor, and then to the payment of the balance, if any, to Debtor or as otherwise required by law. If the proceeds of any such sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and Secured Party’s costs hereunder or under any Transaction Document, Grantors shall be liable for any deficiency in accordance with the terms of the Transactions Documents.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Grantors shall promptly upon demand by Secured Party (acting at the direction of Required Holders) assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which shall be reasonably convenient to both parties. The right of Secured Party under this Section to have the Collateral assembled and made available to it is the essence of this Agreement and Secured Party may, at its election, enforce such right by a bill in equity for specific performance.

Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 9. Subrogation and Marshaling. Each Grantor hereby waives, surrenders and agrees not to claim or enforce, so long as the Obligations or any portion thereof (other than inchoate indemnity or similar obligations) remains outstanding, (a) any right to be subrogated in whole or in part to any right or claim of the holder of any part of the Obligations and (b) any right to require marshaling of any assets of any Grantor, which right of subrogation or marshaling might otherwise arise from any payment to the holder of any part of the Obligations arising out of the enforcement of the Liens granted hereby, or any other Lien granted by any Grantor or any other person to Secured Party, or the liquidation of or the realization upon the Collateral of any Grantor, any other collateral granted by any Grantor or any other person to Secured Party, or any part thereof.

(i) Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party (and any sub-agent thereof) and each affiliate of the Secured Party and the directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of the Secured Party and its affiliates (each, a “Related Party”) of any of the foregoing persons (each, 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 resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement) or any failure of any 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 any Grantor, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided 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 gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(ii) 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 Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Note 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 Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by unintended recipients.
(iii) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor its Obligations or otherwise protecting, enforcing or preserving any rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction 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 Secured Party.
(iv) All amounts due under this Section 10(h) shall be payable promptly after demand therefor, shall constitute Obligations and shall bear interest from and including the date of such demand thereto through, but excluding in all events, the date paid, 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 payment under the Transaction Documents.
13
(v) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Grantor under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, the agreements and obligations of each Grantor contained in this Section 10(h) shall survive termination of the Transaction Documents and payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.
(vi) To the extent not paid by the Grantors, each Investor agrees that it shall be liable to the Collateral Agent for its ratable share (taking into account such Investor’s holding of Notes as a percentage of the aggregate then-outstanding principal balance of all Notes) of such amounts due under this Section 10(h).
Section 11. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of Grantors’ representations and warranties in this Agreement are continuing and shall survive until all Obligations outstanding or contracted for (other than inchoate indemnity or similar obligations) have been paid in full in cash.
