The Debtors acknowledge and agree that any such 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 shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Parties shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States, under the Securities Act, or under any applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. Except for registration of securities, the Debtors further agree to do or cause to be done, to the extent that the Debtors may do so under applicable law, all such other reasonable acts and things as may be necessary to make such sales or resales of any portion or all of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees, or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators, or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Debtors’ expense.
14.
Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations. The Debtors shall remain obligated hereunder, and the Collateral shall remain subject to the lien granted hereby, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Debtors, and without notice to or further assent by the Debtors, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by Secured Parties may be rescinded by Secured Parties, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of the Debtors or any other person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Secured Parties and the 2011 Loan Agreement, the Notes, and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or part, as the Secured Parties may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee, right of offset or other collateral security at any time held by the Secured Parties for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Secured Parties shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure this or any other lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto. The Debtors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Secured Parties upon this Security Agreement; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Security Agreement; and all dealings between the Debtors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Security Agreement.
15.
Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Secured Parties’ sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9a.207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Parties deal with similar property for its own account. Neither the Secured Parties nor any of their directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Debtors or otherwise.
16.
INDEMNIFICATION. EACH OF THE DEBTORS, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, AGREES TO INDEMNIFY EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT WHICH DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO (A) THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, (B) ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, (C) ANY BREACH BY EITHER DEBTOR OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, OR ANOTHER AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, (D) ANY DELAY IN PAYING ANY AND ALL EXCISE, SALES, USE, OR OTHER TAXES WHICH MAY BE PAYABLE OR DETERMINED TO BE PAYABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, OR (E) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATED TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON.

18.
Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent any such provision is prohibited or unenforceable, then in lieu thereof, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Security Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such prohibited or unenforceable provision as may be possible and not be prohibited or unenforceable. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Secured Parties of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Secured Parties would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
19.

This Security Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Debtors and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Secured Parties and its successors and assigns.

Termination. If all of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the Secured Parties shall, upon the written request of the Debtors, execute and deliver to the Debtors a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the release and termination of the security interests created by this Agreement, and shall duly assign and deliver to the Debtors (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Secured Parties and has not previously been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the payment of any amount of principal of or interest with respect to the Obligations, or any portion thereof, is rescinded, voided, or must otherwise be refunded by the Secured Parties upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of either of the Debtors or otherwise for any reason whatsoever, then each of (a) the Obligations, (b) the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement, the 2011 Loan Agreement and the Notes), (c) the indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of each Debtor and, (d) all liens for the benefit of the Secured Parties, created under or evidenced by the Loan Documents, will be automatically reinstated and become automatically effective and in full force and effect, all to the extent that and as though such payment so rescinded, voided, or otherwise refunded had never been made.
