or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development
regarding the validity or enforceability or such Grantor’s ownership of,
interest in, right to use, register, own or maintain any Intellectual Property
constituting Collateral (including the institution of, or any such determination
or development in, any proceeding relating to the foregoing in any Applicable IP

ARTICLE
V
REMEDIAL
PROVISIONS
Section
5.01 Code and Other
Remedies.
(a) UCC
Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted
to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law.
13
(b) Disposition of
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Secured Party may, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice
required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person
(all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby
expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other
applicable law), during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or
through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon the premises where any
Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, through self-help,
without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any
Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on the Secured
Party’s claim or action, (ii) take possession of, collect, receive, assemble,
process, appropriate, remove and realize upon any Collateral, or any part
thereof, and (iii) sell, lease, license, assign, dispose of, grant option or
options to purchase and deliver any Collateral (enter into Contractual
Obligations to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or
private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Secured
Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and
at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. The Secured Party shall have
the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by
the UCC and other applicable requirements of law, upon any such private sale, to
purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or
equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and
released.
(c) Management of the
Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the
continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at the Secured Party’s request, it
shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at
places that the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Secured Party
also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral
pending further action by the Secured Party and, while any such Collateral is so
stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be
necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in
good condition, (iii) until the Secured Party is able to dispose of any
Collateral, the Secured Party shall have the right to hold or use such
Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving
the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the
Secured Party and (iv) the Secured Party may, if it so elects, seek the
appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to
enforce any of the Secured Party’s remedies, with respect to such appointment
without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Secured
Party shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the
rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral
while such Collateral is in the possession of the Secured Party.
(d) Application of
Proceeds. The Secured Party shall apply the cash proceeds of
any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.01, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection
therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any
way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole
or in part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and
only after such application and after the payment by the Secured Party of any
other amount required by any requirement of law, need the Secured Party account
for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.
14
(e) Direct
Obligation. The Secured Party shall not be required to make
any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor
or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to
pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or
any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and
remedies of the Secured Party under any Credit Document shall be cumulative, may
be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights
or remedies provided by any requirement of law. 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 Secured
Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws
and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter
existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights
hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of
any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable
and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or other
disposition.
(f) Commercially
Reasonable. To the extent that applicable requirements of law
impose duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially
reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not
commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party to do any of the
following:
(i) fail
to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as
such by the Secured Party to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise
to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other
finished products for disposition;
(ii) fail
to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to dispose of
or for the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or, if not required by
other requirements of law, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the
collection or disposition of any Collateral;
(iii) fail
to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any
Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims
against any Collateral;
(iv) advertise
dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or to
contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for
expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;
(v) exercise
collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any
Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other
collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in
the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a
specialized nature or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party,
obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of
any Collateral, or utilize 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 to dispose of any
Collateral;
(vi) dispose
of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;
15
(vii) disclaim
disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment;
or
(viii) purchase
insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risks of
loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Secured
Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any
Collateral.
Each
Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 5.01 is to
provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially
reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other
actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially
unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section
5.01. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained
in this Section
5.01 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose
any duties on the Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by
this Agreement or by applicable requirements of law in the absence of this Section
5.01.
(g) License. For
the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies under
this Section
5.01 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive,
assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, dispose of or grant
options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Secured Party shall be
lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby
grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor),
including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any
Intellectual Property constituting Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by
such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all Computer Software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof.
Section
5.02 Control Account and
Collections.
(a) From
and after the Closing Date, each Grantor shall cause all Collections and any
other payments in respect of the Collateral to be remitted to the Control
Account in accordance with the requirements of the Credit
Agreement. Until so remitted, such funds shall be held by such
Grantor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other funds of such
Grantor. All proceeds being held by the Secured Party in a Control
Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Party) shall continue to be
held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute
payment thereof until released as provided in the Credit
Agreement. Each Grantor hereby authorizes Secured Party to collect
all payments, checks, drafts and other instruments addressed to such Borrower
and to withdraw and hold in reserve or release such funds pursuant to the terms
of the Credit Agreement and, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event
of Default, to apply such funds against the Secured Obligations. Each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Party shall have sole and
exclusive control of the Control Account until the Secured Obligations have been
paid in full.
16
(b) Each
Grantor shall, upon the Secured Party’s request, deliver to the Secured Party
all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the Contractual
Obligations constituting Collateral and transactions that gave rise to any
account constituting Collateral or any payment in respect of general intangibles
constituting Collateral, including all original orders, invoices and shipping
receipts and notify account debtors that such accounts or general intangibles
have been collaterally assigned to the Secured Party and that payments in
respect thereof shall be made directly to the Secured Party.
(c) The
Secured Party may, without notice, at any time, in its own name or in the name
of others, communicate with account debtors or and any other payors in respect
of general intangibles constituting Collateral or obligors with respect thereto
to verify with them to the Secured Party’s satisfaction the existence, amount
and terms of any such Collateral or direct such account debtors or obligors to
make all payments directly to the Secured Party or as the Secured Party shall
direct. Upon request of the Secured Party, Grantors shall provide to
the Secured Party signed, undated notices, on such Grantor’s letterhead,
notifying account debtors or obligors of the Grantors that all future payments
shall be made to the Control Account and such account debtors and obligors shall
no longer to make payment to such Grantor, but to make payment directly to the
Secured Party or as the Secured Party shall direct.
(d) Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
each account and each payment in respect of general intangibles to observe and
perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it
thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise
thereto. The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability
under any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a
general intangible by reason of or arising out of any Credit Document or the
receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the
Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any
Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an account or a
payment in respect of a general intangible, to make any payment, to make any
inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as
to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or
file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the
payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.
Section
5.03 Pledged
Collateral.
(a) Voting
Rights. During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon
notice by the Secured Party to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, the Secured
Party or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other
right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders,
partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of
such Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange
and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the
Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right
to exchange at its discretion any such Pledged Collateral upon the merger,
amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of
Pledged Equity Interests constituting Collateral, the right to deposit and
deliver any such Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as
the Secured Party may determine), all without liability except to account for
property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Secured
Party shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or
option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so
doing.
17
(b) Proxies. During
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, in order to permit the
Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be
entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other
distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor
shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to
the Secured Party all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other
instruments as the Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request and
(ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above,
such Grantor hereby revokes all previous proxies with respect to the Pledged
Collateral and grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to vote all or
any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers,
privileges and remedies to which a holder of such Pledged Collateral would be
entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders,
partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of
shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such
meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the
necessity of any action (including any transfer of any such Pledged Collateral
on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the
issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the
continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the
payment in full of the Secured Obligations.
(c) Authorization of
Grantors. Each Grantor hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes
and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each issuer
of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with
any instruction received by it from the Secured Party in writing that states
that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully
protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying and (ii) unless
otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or make any other payment
with respect to such Pledged Collateral directly to the Secured
Party.
(d) Liability. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) each Grantor shall remain liable
under any Pledged Collateral Agreement and any other contracts, agreements and
other documents to which it is a party included in the Collateral, to the extent
set forth therein, to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to
the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by
the Secured Party of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor
from any of its duties or obligations under any such Pledged Collateral
Agreement or other contracts, agreements and other documents, and (iii) the
Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any such Pledged
Collateral Agreements or other contracts, agreements and other documents by
reason of this Agreement, nor shall the 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 Pledged Collateral Agreements or other such contract,
agreement or other document.
Section
5.04 Registration
Rights.
(a) If,
in the opinion of the Secured Party, it is necessary or advisable to dispose of
any portion of the Pledged Collateral by registering such Pledged Collateral
under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”),
each relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to do or cause to be done
all acts as may be, in the opinion of the Secured Party, necessary or advisable
to register such Pledged Collateral or that portion thereof to be disposed of
under the provisions of the Securities Act, all as directed by the Secured Party
in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto and in
compliance with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any
jurisdiction that the Secured Party shall designate.
18
(b) Each
Grantor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale
of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or
may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not
commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private
sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to
agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private
sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were
a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a
sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the
issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities
Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to
do so.
(c) Each
Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any
portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.04 valid
and binding and in compliance with all applicable requirements of
law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant
contained in this Section 5.04 will
cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no
adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that
each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.04 shall be
specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives
and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance
of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred
under the Credit Agreement.
Section
5.05 Deficiency. The
Grantors, jointly and severally, shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to
pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney
employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
ARTICLE
VI
SUBORDINATION
Section
6.01 Subordination. Each
Grantor agrees that all payments on account of any indebtedness for borrowed
money owing to such Grantor by any other Grantor (“Intercompany Debt”)
shall be subject, subordinate and junior, in right of payment and exercise of
remedies, to the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all Secured
Obligations, and all Liens (if any) now or hereafter existing in favor of any
Grantor in respect of any Collateral shall be subject, subordinate and junior in
all respects and at all times to the Liens now or hereafter existing of the
Secured Party therein. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have
acquired the Secured Obligations in reliance upon this ARTICLE
VI.
19
Section
6.02 Restrictions on Payment and
Transfer. Each Grantor agrees (i) not to collect, or to
receive payment upon, by setoff or in any other manner, all or any portion of
the Intercompany Debt owing to it, except as expressly permitted by the Credit
Documents, and (ii) not to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or xxxxx x Xxxx on
any such Intercompany Debt.

Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and its officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents, with full power of
substitution, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, as
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority
in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its
own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Credit Documents, to
take any appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may
be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Credit Documents,
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives
the Secured Party and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and
agents the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or

shall be continuing:

any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any such moneys
due under any account or general intangible constituting Collateral or with
respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in
the case of any Intellectual Property constituting Collateral owned by or
licensed to the Grantors, execute, deliver and have recorded any document that
the Secured Party may request to evidence, effect, publicize or record the

and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented

become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral, (C) sign
and indorse any invoice, freight or express xxxx, xxxx of lading, storage or

Collateral, (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such actions, suits,
proceedings, audits, claims, demands, orders or disputes and, in connection
therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Secured Party may deem
appropriate, (G) assign any Intellectual Property constituting Collateral owned
by the Grantors or any license or sublicense held by any Grantor as licensee
pertaining to Intellectual Property of any other Person or other right
(including franchises) constituting Collateral of the Grantors
throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the
Secured Party shall in its sole discretion determine, including the execution
and filing of any document necessary to effectuate or record such assignment and
(H) generally, dispose of, xxxxx x Xxxx on, make any Contractual Obligation with
respect to and otherwise deal with, any Collateral as fully and completely as
though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and
do, at the Secured Party’s option, at any time or from time to time, all acts
and things that the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon any Collateral and the Secured Party’s security interests therein
and to effect the intent of the Credit Documents, all as fully and effectively
as such Grantor might do.
(b) If
any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any Contractual Obligation contained
herein, the Secured Party, at its option, but without any obligation so to do,
may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such
Contractual Obligation.
(c) The
expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection with actions undertaken as
provided in this Section 7.01,
together with interest thereon at a rate set forth in Section 2.09 of the
Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Secured Party to the date
reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the
Secured Party on demand. None of the Secured Party, its respective affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible
to any Grantor for any act or failure to act under any power of attorney or
otherwise, except in respect of damages attributable solely to their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, nor for any punitive, exemplary, indirect or consequential
damages.
(d) Each
Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this Section
7.01. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in
this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this
Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are
released.
21
Section
7.02 Authorization to File
Financing Statements. Each Grantor authorizes the Secured
Party and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, at any
time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments
thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to
any Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Secured Party reasonably
determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Secured Party
under this Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may described
the Collateral covered thereby (other than the Limited Collateral, which
description will be specifically drafted) as “all assets of the
debtor”. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall
be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or
instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Such Grantor
also hereby ratifies its authorization for the Secured Party to have filed any
initial financing statement or amendment thereto under the UCC (or other similar
laws) in effect in any jurisdiction if filed prior to the date
hereof.
ARTICLE
VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section
8.01 Reinstatement. This
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. Moreover, each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by
any Grantor or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any
time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or
the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by the Secured Party
to such Grantor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any
Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other
Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect,
as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of
the foregoing, (i) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s
liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the
foregoing or (ii) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been
terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision
shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release,
termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge,
impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any
Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such
payment.
Section
8.02 Independent
Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are
independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations. If any
Secured Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the
Secured Party may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without
notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full
amount of any Secured Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any
other Grantor or any other Collateral and without first joining any other
Grantor in any proceeding.
Section
8.03 No Waiver by Course of
Conduct. The Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a
written instrument executed by it), 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 to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. 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 Party of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy that the Secured Party would otherwise have on any future
occasion.
22
Section
8.04 Amendments in
Writing. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement and no consent to any departure by any party thereto shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (i) in the case of an
amendment, consent or waiver to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or
inconsistency or granting a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Party or
extending an existing Lien over additional property, by the Secured Party and
the Grantors or (ii) in the case of any other waiver or consent.
Section
8.05 Additional Grantors;
Additional Pledged Collateral.
(a) Joinder
Agreements. If, after the date hereof, any of the Grantors
create or otherwise acquire any Subsidiary, such Grantor shall promptly cause
such Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such
Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Secured Party a Joinder Agreement
substantially in the form of Annex 2 and shall
thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits
and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date.
(b) Pledge
Amendments. To the extent any Grantor or Limited Pledgor
acquires any Pledged Collateral comprising a direct or indirect interest in any
Equity Interests, such Grantor or Limited Pledgor shall deliver a pledge
amendment duly executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a
“Pledge
Amendment”) with respect to such Pledged Collateral. Each
Grantor and Limited Pledgor authorizes the Secured Party to attach each Pledge
Amendment to this Agreement.
Section
8.06 Notices. Any
notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the day of delivery
if delivered in person, (b) on the day of delivery if delivered by facsimile
upon confirmation of receipt (provided that if
delivery is completed after the close of business, then the next Business Day),
(c) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered using

Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of
the parties hereto; provided that, except in

Section
8.08 Cumulative Remedies,
Etc. No failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit
Document and no course of dealing between the Secured Party and the Grantors
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and
remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which the Secured Party would otherwise have. No notice to
or demand on the Grantors in any case shall entitle the Grantors to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the rights of the Secured Party to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.
24
Section
8.09 Amendments, Waivers and
Consents. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Grantors therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured
Party, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Section
8.10 Waiver. Each
party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the

any document delivered pursuant hereto, (c) waive compliance with any of the
agreements of the other party contained herein, or (d) waive satisfaction of any
condition to its obligations hereunder. Any such extension or waiver
shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party
to be bound thereby. No delay on the part of any party in exercising
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege,
nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege,
preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right,
power or privilege. All remedies, rights, undertakings, obligations,
and agreements contained herein shall be cumulative and not mutually
exclusive.
Section
8.11 Governing Law. This
Agreement and all claims with respect thereto shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the federal bankruptcy law, to the extent applicable, and,

to any conflict of laws rules thereof that might indicate the application of the
laws of any other jurisdiction.
Section
8.12 Consent to Jurisdiction;
Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.
The

jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for any litigation arising out of or
relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agree
