Section 2 GUARANTY.
2.1 Guaranty.
(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, as a primary obligor and not only a surety, guarantees to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and Collateral Agent, the prompt and complete payment by Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, or earlier by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations of the other Guarantors. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 (this “Guaranty”) is a primary and original obligation of each Guarantor, is not merely the creation of a surety relationship, and is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and continuing guaranty of payment (not collection) which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection. If any Grantor fails to make any payment of any Secured Obligations on or before the due date thereof and after the expiration of the applicable notice and cure period, if any, Guarantor immediately shall (upon Collateral Agent’s demand), cause such payment to be made.
(b) Anything herein or in any other Note Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Note Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2). This Section 2.1(b) is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers hereunder, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 2.1(b) or otherwise as against the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser that would not otherwise be available to such Person under Applicable Insolvency Laws.
(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guaranty contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent or any Purchaser hereunder.
(d) The guaranty contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full. Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement of any lien, security interest, mortgage or realization upon any security or collateral Collateral Agent may at any time possess or be entitled. Guarantor consents and agrees that Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets of any Grantor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations.
8 |
(e) No payment made by Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser from Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations), remain liable for the remaining unpaid Secured Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Secured Obligations are Paid in Full.
2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to Collateral Agent and the Purchasers for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Collateral Agent or any Purchaser against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser for the payment of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all of the Secured Obligations are Paid in Full; provided that, no Guarantor shall exercise any such rights of subrogation at any time if the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser (with their designees, in each case) have acquired all or any of the Collateral by credit bid or strict foreclosure. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Secured Obligations shall not have been Paid in Full or at any time until Collateral Agent or any Purchaser (or their designees, in each case, as applicable) ceases to own all or any portion of the Collateral if such Person has acquired all or any of the Collateral by credit bid or strict foreclosure, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, segregated from the funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Collateral Agent may determine unless otherwise specified in the Note Purchase Agreement. Guarantor agrees that the execution of the Guaranty shall not be deemed to make Guarantor a “creditor” of any Grantor, and that for purposes of Applicable Insolvency Laws, Guarantor shall not be deemed a “creditor” of such Grantor.
9 |
2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Secured Obligations.
(a) Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by Collateral Agent or the Required Purchasers may be rescinded by Collateral Agent or the Required Purchasers and any of the Secured Obligations continued, and the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guaranty 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 Collateral Agent (or the Required Purchasers or all the Purchasers, as the case may be) and the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as Collateral Agent (or the Required Purchasers or all the Purchasers, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for the guaranty contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
(b) Without discharging any Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder Collateral Agent or any Purchaser may, from time to time, at its sole discretion and without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to secure any of the Secured Obligations or any obligation hereunder, (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the undersigned, with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, (iii) amend, modify, or supplement any terms of the Note Documents or extend or renew any of the Secured Obligations for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Secured Obligations, or release or compromise any obligation of any of the undersigned hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, (iv) release any guaranty or right of offset or its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for, all or any part of any property securing any of the Secured Obligations or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such property, and (v) resort to the undersigned (or any of them) for payment of any of the Secured Obligations when due, whether or not Collateral Agent or the Purchasers shall have resorted to any property securing any of the Secured Obligations or any obligation hereunder or shall have proceeded against any other of the undersigned or any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Secured Obligations. This Guaranty includes any and all Secured Obligations arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Secured Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Secured Obligations after prior Secured Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by Collateral Agent, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Secured Obligations in existence on such date (including, but not limited to, any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Secured Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Collateral Agent or Purchasers in existence on the date of such revocation, (d) no payment by Guarantor, Grantor, or from any other source, prior to the date of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of Guarantor hereunder, and (e) any payment by Borrower or from any source other than Guarantor, subsequent to the date of such revocation, shall first be applied to that portion of the Secured Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guaranteed hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of Guarantor hereunder.
10 |

Each Guarantor waives, until Payment in Full, to the furthest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guaranty contained in this Section 2; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2, and all dealings between Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2.

Guarantor consents to any and all forbearances and extensions of the time of payment of the Note Purchase Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, and to any and all changes in the terms, covenants and conditions thereof hereafter made or granted, and to any part of the collateral therefor; it being the intention and agreement hereof that Guarantor shall remain unconditionally liable as a principal as, to and until Payment in Full has occurred, notwithstanding any act, omission or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of Borrower or Guarantor. Guarantor hereby further waives, until Payment in Full: (x) any rights to assert against Collateral Agent or Purchasers any defense (legal or equitable), setoff, counterclaim, or claim which Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable to Collateral Agent or Purchasers (other than the defense that the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full); and (y) any defense, setoff, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Secured Obligations or any security therefor (including, but not limited to, any of the Note Documents). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions of this Guaranty, each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall not be discharged, limited, impaired or affected by: (A) the transfer of all or any part of the property or assets described in any of the Note Documents; (B) any sale, pledge, surrender, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, modification or other disposition of any of the Secured Obligations, all of which Collateral Agent or any Purchaser is expressly authorized to make from time to time; (C) any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Collateral Agent or Purchasers to realize or protect any of the Secured Obligations, or any personal property or real property or lien security given as security therefor, or to exercise any lien upon or right of appropriation of monies, credits or property of Borrower toward liquidation of the Indebtedness, or performance of the covenants guaranteed hereby; (D) any proceedings with respect to the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, the marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, imposition or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of their respective assets, it being expressly understood and agreed that no such proceeding shall affect, modify, limit or discharge the liability or obligation of Guarantor hereunder in any manner whatsoever, and that Guarantor shall continue to remain absolutely liable under this Guaranty to the same extent, and in the same manner, as if such proceedings had not been instituted, (E) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing; (F) any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights or rights of contribution (or any similar right of recovery), if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty; (G) any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any guaranty of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Agreement); and (H) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than the defense that the Secured Obligations have been Paid In Full).

2.7 Reinstatement. The guaranty contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be reduced, restored or returned by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser (whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise) upon the commencement of, or otherwise in relation to, any Insolvency Proceeding of or in respect of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer, official or designee for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of the property of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or otherwise reduced, restored or returned by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of the payment so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned and shall be reduced only by the amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. If claim is ever made on the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Collateral Agent or such Purchaser repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Collateral Agent or such Purchaser with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on such Guarantor notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Note Purchase Agreement, any of the other Note Documents or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Collateral Agent or such Purchaser for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Collateral Agent or such Purchaser

Each Grantor hereby unconditionally grants, pledges, collaterally assigns and transfers to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and Collateral Agent, a valid and continuing security interest in and Lien on all of such Grantor’s Collateral, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Grantors, or any of them, to Collateral Agent and/or Purchasers, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of any bankruptcy or other Insolvency Proceeding involving any Grantor.

Any and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with Grantor’s obligations under this Section shall be borne by Grantor.
(h) Upon request of Collateral Agent, in order to facilitate filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, each Grantor shall duly and promptly execute and deliver to Collateral Agent one or more short form intellectual property security agreements (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent) to evidence Collateral Agent’s lien and security interest on all of Grantor’s registered Patents, Trademarks, or Copyrights, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby. The provisions of any such short form intellectual property security agreement are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in such short form intellectual property security agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder.
22 |
(i) Grantors acknowledge and agree that Collateral Agent shall have no duties with respect to the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Intellectual Property Licenses. Without limiting the generality of this Section 5.7, Grantors acknowledge and agree that Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Intellectual Property Licenses against any other Person, but Collateral Agent may do so at its sole option from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be solely at the cost of Borrower.
5.8 Depositary and Other Deposit Accounts. Subject to Section 9.22 of the Note Purchase Agreement and except with respect to Excluded Accounts, no Grantor shall open or maintain any depositary or other deposit accounts unless such accounts are subject to a deposit account control agreement in favor of Collateral Agent, for itself and the benefit of the Purchasers, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent, in order to give Collateral Agent “control” of such account. The Grantors shall deliver to Collateral Agent a revised version of Schedule 6 showing any changes thereto (from the version in effect on the date hereof) within five (5) Business Days of any such change. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the financial institutions at which such Grantor maintains a deposit account to provide Collateral Agent with such information with respect to such deposit account as Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request, and each Grantor hereby consents to such information being provided to Collateral Agent.
5.9 Other Matters.
(a) On the Closing Date, each of the Grantors shall deliver to Collateral Agent a Collateral Access Agreement with respect to each leasehold property, provided that no Collateral Access Agreement shall be required with respect to the premises set forth on Schedule 5.9.
(b) Each Grantor authorizes Collateral Agent to, at any time and from time to time, file appropriate financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral as “all assets” of each Grantor, or words of similar effect, and which contain any other information required pursuant to the UCC for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, and each Grantor agrees to furnish any such information to Collateral Agent promptly upon request. Any such financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment may be filed at any time in any appropriate jurisdiction. Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.
23 |
(c) Each Grantor shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as Collateral Agent may reasonably request for Collateral Agent (i) to the extent required by Section 5.3 of this Agreement, to obtain an acknowledgement (or bailee agreement), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral, stating that the bailee holds such Collateral for Collateral Agent, (ii) to the extent required by this Agreement, to obtain “control” of any letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, and (iii) to the extent required by this Agreement, otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of Collateral Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein. If any Grantor shall at any time, acquire a “commercial tort claim” in excess of $25,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify Collateral Agent thereof in writing and supplement Schedule 7, therein providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and upon delivery thereof to Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall grant and be deemed to thereby grant to Collateral Agent (and such Grantor hereby grants to Collateral Agent) a security interest and lien in and to such commercial tort claim and all Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of and governed by this Agreement.
(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record”, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify Collateral Agent in writing thereof and, at the request of Collateral Agent, shall take such action as Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in Collateral Agent “control” under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.
5.10 No Pledge of Equity in Subsidiaries. No Grantor shall grant a security interest in, encumber or in any other manner permit any Lien (other than in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent) to exist in or on, all or any portion of the equity in any of its Subsidiaries.
5.11 Note Purchase Agreement. Each of the Grantors covenants that it shall, and, if necessary, shall cause or enable each Grantor to, fully comply with each of the covenants and other agreements set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
5.12 No Pledge of Equity in Guarantors. Borrower agrees that, so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding, Borrower shall remain, directly or indirectly, the holder of one hundred percent (100%) of the equity in the Guarantors; and without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, Borrower shall not assign, sell, convey, gift, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in, encumber or in any other manner permit any Lien (other than in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and Collateral Agent) to exist in or on, all or any portion of the equity in or of any Guarantor.

Section 6 REMEDIAL PROVISIONS.
6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.
(a) At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall (or its agents or designees) have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon Collateral Agent’s request and at the expense of Grantor, Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to Collateral Agent to furnish to Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations, agings and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.
(b) Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, and Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate such authority at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If requested by Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to Collateral Agent if required, in a collateral account maintained under the sole dominion and control of Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and Collateral Agent only as provided in Section 6.6, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, segregated from the funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
(c) At any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.
(a) Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others (including any Grantor) may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.
(b) Upon the request of Collateral Agent at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and Collateral Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to Collateral Agent.
25 |
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable in respect of each of the Receivables 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. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser of any payment relating thereto, nor shall Collateral Agent or any Purchaser be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), 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 which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
(d) For the purpose of enabling Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement effective after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, an irrevocable, nonexclusive worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license 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. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may refuse to allow Grantor to, and at its sole discretion Collateral Agent may, exercise quality control over the products and services offered under the applicable Trademark to prevent invalidation or abandonment.
6.3 Investment Property.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor will be permitted (i) to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Note Purchase Agreement, and (ii) to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, that no vote shall be cast or other right exercised or action taken which would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Note Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or any other Note Document.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, without any further action by any Person (i) Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends and distributions, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.5 hereof, (ii) Collateral Agent shall have the right to cause any or all of the Investment Property to be registered in the name of Collateral Agent or its nominee, and (iii) Collateral Agent or its nominee may exercise (x) all voting, consent, and other rights and powers pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of holders of the equity interests of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise (or by written consent or proxy) and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Collateral Agent 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.
26 |
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to, and each such Issuer that is a Grantor hereby agrees to promptly, comply with any instruction received by such Issuer from Collateral Agent that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions or consent of such Grantor or any other Person, including without limitation, instructions as to the transfer of other disposition of such Investment Property, to pay and remit to Collateral Agent or its nominee all dividends, distributions and other amounts payable to such Grantor in respect of such Investment Property (upon redemption of such Investment Property, dissolution of such Issuer or otherwise), and to transfer to, and register such Investment Property in the name of, Collateral Agent or its nominee or transferee. Each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying with such instructions made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of Collateral Agent and the Purchasers specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other cash equivalent items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, segregated from the funds of such Grantor, and shall (unless Collateral Agent provides prior express written notice to the contrary) forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by Collateral Agent in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds, while held by Collateral Agent in any collateral account (or by such Grantor in trust for Collateral Agent and the Purchasers) established pursuant hereto, shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.
6.5 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and Collateral Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at Collateral Agent’s election, Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral in payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as Collateral Agent shall determine in its discretion. Any part of such funds which Collateral Agent elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for the Secured Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by Collateral Agent to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
27 |
6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Collateral Agent, on behalf of Collateral Agent and Purchasers, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any advertisement or notice expressly required by law, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Note Document) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived, except to the extent expressly required by law, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Note Document), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract 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 Collateral Agent or any Purchaser 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. Collateral Agent or any Purchaser shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at Collateral Agent’s request, to promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Collateral Agent at places which Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser hereunder, including attorneys’ fees, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 6.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Collateral Agent or any Purchaser arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Collateral Agent.
28 |
6.7 Sales of Pledged Equity.
(a) Each Grantor recognizes that Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will 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. Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, that Collateral Agent and the Purchasers have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note Purchase Agreement.
6.8 Intellectual Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Grantor hereby authorizes: (a) the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, United States Patent and Trademark Office (or as appropriate, such equivalent agency in foreign countries), to issue any and all Patents to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Purchasers and Collateral Agent) as assignee of each Grantor’s entire interest therein; (b) the Register of Copyrights, United States Copyright Office (or as appropriate, such equivalent agency in foreign countries), to issue any and all certificates of registration or renewal for all of the Copyrights to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Purchasers and Collateral Agent) as assignee of each Grantor’s entire interest therein; and (c) the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, United States Patent and Trademark Office (or as appropriate, such equivalent agency in foreign countries) to issue any and all certificates of registration or renewal for all of the Trademarks to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Purchasers and Collateral Agent) as assignee of each Grantor’s entire interest therein and in the goodwill of such Grantor’s business connected therewith and symbolized thereby. Grantor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the use by Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Purchasers and Collateral Agent) of all Intellectual Property of Grantor shall be worldwide and as extensive as the rights of Grantor to use such Intellectual Property, and without any liability for royalties or other related charges from Collateral Agent or Purchasers to Grantor.
29 |
6.9 Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-626 of the UCC to the extent permitted by applicable law. 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 in full and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser to collect such deficiency.
Section 7 Collateral AGENT.
7.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact; Irrevocable Proxy, etc.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, such power of attorney to be exercisable solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of and at the expense of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as Collateral Agent may request to evidence Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) discharge Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, and effect any repairs or insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
30 |
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Collateral Agent or as Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Intellectual Property License, Copyright, Patent or Trademark, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; (8) vote any right or interest with respect to any Investment Property; (9) order good standing certificates and conduct lien searches in respect of such jurisdictions or offices as Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; and (10) generally sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at Collateral Agent’s sole option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Collateral Agent’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Until the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full, each Grantor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Collateral Agent, as its true and lawful proxy, with full power of substitution, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for and in its name, place and stead to vote any and all Investment Property owned or held by such Grantor or standing in its name, and do all things which any Grantor might do if present and acting itself. Once exercised by Collateral Agent, the right to vote granted pursuant to this proxy shall be exclusive to Collateral Agent and no Grantor shall thereafter be entitled to exercise any right to vote in respect of any Investment Property, until Payment in Full or otherwise with the prior written consent of Collateral Agent. THE PROXY, AUTHORIZATIONS, AGENCIES, POWERS OF ATTORNEY AND OTHER POWERS GRANTED BY THE GRANTORS UNDER AND PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THIS AGREEMENT) AND ARE GIVEN TO SECURE THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THIS AGREEMENT. SUCH APPOINTMENT OF Collateral AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL BE VALID AND IRREVOCABLE AS PROVIDED HEREIN NOTWITHSTANDING ANY LIMITATIONS TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THE ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION, LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENTS OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS OF EACH GRANTOR OR THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY ACT OF THE STATE OF INCORPORATION OF EACH GRANTOR.
31 |
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney or the irrevocable proxy provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, Collateral Agent, at its sole option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorneys shall lawfully (in accordance with applicable law) do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
(d) All powers, proxies, authorizations, grants of attorney in fact and agencies contained in this Agreement survive the bankruptcy, dissolution or winding up of any relevant Grantor.
Each Grantor covenants and agrees that on the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the date of expiration (by operation of Applicable Law) of the irrevocable proxy granted pursuant to this Section 7.1, each Grantor shall (and shall automatically be deemed to) grant the Collateral Agent a new irrevocable proxy, on the same terms as those previously granted pursuant to this Section 7.1. Upon the reasonable written request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor agrees to deliver to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, such further evidence of such irrevocable proxy or such further irrevocable proxies to enable the Collateral Agent to vote the Pledged Stock after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any 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 any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect Collateral Agent’s and the Purchasers’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Collateral Agent or any Purchaser to exercise any such powers. Collateral Agent and the Purchasers shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder.
32 |
7.3 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by 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 Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, be governed by the Note Purchase Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between Collateral Agent and the Grantors, Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Purchasers 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 8 MISCELLANEOUS.
8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 12.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
8.2 Notices.

When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Collateral Agent or any Purchaser against any Grantor.

In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
