the Proprietary Marks in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies in connection with any Liquidation.
SECTION 4.8. Limitation on Modification of Accounts. None of the Grantors will, without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, releases, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its current practices or in accordance with such prudent business practices as determined by the Responsible Officers of the Loan Parties acting reasonably in their business judgment.

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, exercisable only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral and the Xxxxxxxx Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Administrative Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably advisable. All sums reasonably disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Section 4.9, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, out-of-pocket expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

If any Grantor shall at any time acquire a Commercial Tort Claim having a value in excess of $1,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the details thereof and the Grantors shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected and first priority security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof.
SECTION 4.11. Legend. At the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall legend, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, its Accounts and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts have been assigned to the Administrative
-13-
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Administrative Agent has a security interest therein.
SECTION 4.12. Notices and Reports Pertaining to Intercompany Licenses. In addition to any other notice or reporting requirement imposed on the Grantors under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Grantors will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any breach, default or other circumstance in respect of any Intercompany License which would reasonably likely materially impair or restrict the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize the Proprietary Marks in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies in connection with any Liquidation.
ARTICLE V.
Collections
SECTION 5.1. Deposit Accounts. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, until the occurrence of the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Grantors acknowledge and agree that the ABL Agent has expressly agreed to act as agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under each control agreement or blocked account agreement with respect to any Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts of a Grantor. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Grantors shall cause the Administrative Agent to have Control over each Deposit Account and Securities Accounts of a Grantor (other than the Designated Account).
SECTION 5.2. Power of Attorney. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity the Administrative Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor’s name or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, (a) at any time, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred, to take actions required to be taken by the Grantors under Section 2.1 of this Agreement, (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, (i) to take actions required to be taken by the Grantors under Section 5.1 of this Agreement, (ii) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral or any part thereof, (iii) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral and/or any of the Xxxxxxxx Collateral; (iv) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoices, schedules of Collateral, freight or express receipts, or bills of lading storage receipts, warehouse receipts or other documents of title relating to any of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral; (v) to sign the name of any Grantor on any notice to such Grantor’s Account Debtors; (vi) to sign the name of any Grantor on any proof of claim in bankruptcy against Account Debtors, and on notices of lien, claims of mechanic’s liens, or assignments or releases of mechanic’s liens securing the Accounts; (vii) to sign change of address forms to change the address to which each Grantor’s mail is to be sent to such address as the Administrative Agent shall designate; (viii) to receive and open each Grantor’s mail, remove any Proceeds of Collateral and/or Xxxxxxxx Collateral therefrom and turn over the balance of such mail either to
-14-
the Borrower or to any trustee in bankruptcy or receiver of a Grantor, or other legal representative of a Grantor whom the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be the appropriate person to whom to so turn over such mail; (ix) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral and/or any Xxxxxxxx Collateral; (x) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral and/or any Xxxxxxxx Collateral; (xi) to take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to obtain the payment of any letter of credit and/or banker’s acceptance of which any Grantor is a beneficiary; (xii) to repair, manufacture, assemble, complete, package, deliver, alter or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any customer of any Grantor; (xiii) to use, license or transfer any or all General Intangibles of any Grantor; and (xiv) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral and/or any Xxxxxxxx Collateral, and to do all other acts and things reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral for all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or to present or file any claim or notice. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Administrative Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The appointment of the Administrative Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set forth above shall terminate when (a) the Commitments have expired or been terminated and (b) the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other Secured Obligations (which for purposes of this clause shall include the obligations in respect of Hedging Agreements only if the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have been accelerated and Liquidation has commenced and then only to the extent then due and payable) (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full).
SECTION 5.3. No Obligation to Act. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or to exercise any of the powers authorized by Section 5.2, but if the Administrative Agent elects to do any such act or to exercise any of such powers, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to any Grantor for any act or omission to act except for any act or omission to act as to which there is a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction that (i) the subject act or omission to act by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate constituted gross negligence, was in bad faith, or constituted willful misconduct or (ii) constituted a breach by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate of its obligations to such Grantor. The provisions of Section 5.2 shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral
-15-
and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any other or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise.
ARTICLE VI.
Remedies
SECTION 6.1. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other Applicable Law. The Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall include, without limitation, the right to take any of or all of the following actions at the same or different times as directed by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders:
(a) With respect to any Collateral and/or any Xxxxxxxx Collateral consisting of Accounts, General Intangibles (including Payment Intangibles and Intellectual Property), Letter-of-Credit Rights, Instruments, Chattel Paper, Documents, and Investment Property, the Administrative Agent may collect the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral with or without the taking of possession of any of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral.
(b) With respect to any Collateral and/or any Xxxxxxxx Collateral consisting of Accounts, the Administrative Agent may (i) demand, collect and receive any amounts relating thereto, as the Administrative Agent may determine; (ii) commence and prosecute any actions in any court for the purposes of collecting any such Accounts and enforcing any other rights in respect thereof; (iii) defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; (iv) without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 5.2 hereof, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to any Grantor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to such Accounts or securing or relating to such Accounts, on behalf of and in the name of such Grantor; and (v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any such Accounts or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.
(c) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property, the Administrative Agent may (i) exercise all rights of any Grantor with respect thereto, including without limitation, the right to exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the shareholders of the issuer of any Investment Property and to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner
-16-
thereof, including the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of any Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received as provided in Section 5.3 hereof; (ii) transfer such Collateral at any time to itself, or to its nominee, and receive the income thereon and hold the same as Collateral hereunder or apply it to the Secured Obligations; and (iii) demand, xxx for, collect or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable. The Grantors recognize that (a) the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77, (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Investment Property were sold at public sales, (c) that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the Investment Property to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Grantor shall be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Investment Property under the Securities Act or any or Blue Sky Laws.
(d) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Inventory, Goods, and Equipment, the Administrative Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Administrative Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor. The Administrative Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Administrative Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Administrative Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein. Each purchaser at any such going out of business sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.
(e) With respect to any Proprietary Marks, the Administrative Agent may exercise all of the rights granted to the Grantors under the Intercompany Licenses (for the limited purpose of allowing the Administrative Agent to utilize the Proprietary Marks in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies in connection with any Liquidation of any Grantor’s Inventory or other Collateral).
(f) With or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, the Administrative Agent may enter upon, occupy, and use any premises owned or occupied by each Grantor, and may exclude the Grantors from such premises
-17-
or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or used by the Administrative Agent to the extent the Administrative Agent deems such exclusion reasonably necessary to preserve and protect the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Administrative Agent’s taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral and/or Xxxxxxxx Collateral unusable to the Grantors. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable to any Grantor for use or occupancy by the Administrative Agent of any premises pursuant to this Section 6.1, nor for any royalties or any other amounts due under, or any other obligations in respect of, the Intercompany Licenses, nor for any charge (such as wages for the Grantors’ employees and utilities) incurred in connection with the Administrative Agent’s exercise of the Agents’ Rights and Remedies.
(g) The Administrative Agent may require any Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at the Grantor’s sole risk and expense at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to both the Administrative Agent and such Grantor.
(h) Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to Applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.
(i) Unless the Collateral and/or Xxxxxxxx Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Administrative Agent shall provide the Grantors such notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), the Administrative Agent shall give the Grantors at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the date, time and place of any proposed public sale, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral and/or Xxxxxxxx Collateral may be made. Each Grantor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to that Grantor which are imposed under the UCC or other Applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies upon default. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral and/or Xxxxxxxx Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Collateral and/or such Xxxxxxxx Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.
(j) Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale. At any sale or other disposition, the Collateral and/or the Xxxx-xxxx Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion)
-18-
determine. If any of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by the Administrative Agent on credit, the Secured Obligations shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof unless and until payment is received thereon by the Administrative Agent.
(k) At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor, the Collateral, the Xxxxxxxx Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party from any Grantor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.
(l) For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral, the Xxxxxxxx Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof. The Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral, the Xxxxxxxx Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.
(m) As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral and to sell the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
(n) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
(o) In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting the Borrower or the creditors or property of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount of the Secured Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional portion of the Secured Obligations accruing after such date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Agent’s exercise of any Rights and
-19-
Remedies in respect of the Xxxxxxxx Collateral shall be subject to the rights of any third party under any international license and/or franchise agreements as in effect on such date.
SECTION 6.2. Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and acceleration of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, or any Collateral and/or Xxxxxxxx Collateral granted under any other of the Security Documents, in accordance with Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement.
Subject to the right of the Required Lenders to direct the exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale or other disposition shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
ARTICLE VII.
Perfection of Security Interest
SECTION 7.1. Perfection by Filing. This Agreement constitutes an authenticated record, and each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 5.2, to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral, in such filing offices as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate, and the Grantors shall pay the Administrative Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Each Grantor hereby further agrees that a carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a Financing Statement and may be filed as a Financing Statement in any and all jurisdictions.
SECTION 7.2. Other Perfection, Etc. The Grantors shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the Administrative Agent (a) to obtain Control of any Deposit Accounts to the extent required by Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (b) to obtain Control of any Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Rights or Electronic Chattel Paper, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (b) otherwise to insure the continued perfection of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral with the priority described in Section 3.2 and of the preservation of its rights therein.
-20-
SECTION 7.3. Savings Clause. Nothing contained in this Article VII shall be construed to narrow the scope of the Administrative Agent’s Security Interest in any of the Collateral, the Xxxxxxxx Collateral or the perfection or priority thereof or to impair or otherwise limit any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder except (and then only to the extent) as mandated by the UCC.
ARTICLE VIII.
Miscellaneous
SECTION 8.1. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 8.2. Grant of Non-Exclusive License. Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent under the assignment of the Intercompany Licenses provided herein, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a royalty free, non-exclusive, irrevocable license, which license shall be exercisable upon the existence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to use, apply, and affix any Intellectual Property (other than Intellectual Property licensed pursuant to the Intercompany Licenses, including the Proprietary Marks) in which any Grantor now or hereafter has rights, such license being with respect to the Administrative Agent’s exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder including, without limitation, in connection with any Liquidation of Inventory; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent’s exercise of the foregoing license shall be conditioned upon the Administrative Agent not violating any obligations (excluding the payment of royalties) or restrictions to which the Grantor of the related Intellectual Property is subject (except those obligations or restrictions which would reasonably likely materially impair or restrict the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize the Intellectual Property in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies).
SECTION 8.3. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from the Guarantee or any other guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement (other than circumstances under which (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated and (ii) the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other Secured Obligations (which for purposes of this clause shall include the obligations in respect of Hedging Agreements only if the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have been accelerated and Liquidation has commenced and then only to the extent
-21-
then due and payable) (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full).
SECTION 8.4. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors herein and in any other Loan Document and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Loan Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with Section 8.15 hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, may require such indemnities as it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Secured Parties against (x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Secured Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, and (y) any obligations that may thereafter arise with respect to obligations in respect of Hedging Agreements.
SECTION 8.5. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Grantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each Grantor and its respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Grantor and the Administrative Agent and its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

-22-
protection of any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder or (iv) the failure of any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof; provided, that in the event the Grantors have a bona fide dispute with any such expenses, payment of such disputed amounts shall not be required until the earlier of the date such dispute is resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Grantors or thirty (30) days after receipt of any such invoice (and any such disputed amount which is so paid shall be subject to a reservation of the Grantors’ rights with respect thereto).
(b) Without limiting any of their indemnification obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without duplication of any fees, expenses or indemnification provided for under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Grantor, shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of the respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and advisors of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “In-demnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all damages, actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, actions, causes of action, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Agents and one counsel for all other Indemnitees (other than the Agents), incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by, or asserted against, any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the performance by any Grantor of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or to the Collateral, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (w) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Agent or such Indemnitee or any Affiliate of such Indemnitee (or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of such Indemnitee or any such Indemnitee’s Affiliates), (x) are relating to disputes among Indemnitees, (y) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from a breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations to a Loan Party, or (z) which constitute indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages. In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel and the Grantors shall promptly pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments, the payment of all fees and other Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured Party.

SECTION 8.8. Waivers; Amendment.
(a) The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Administrative Agent hereunder (herein, the “Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No delay or omission by the Administrative Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Administrative Agent of any Event of Default or of any Default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or other Default hereunder or under any other agreement. No single or partial exercise of any of the Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Administrative Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies. No waiver by the Administrative Agent of any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. Subject to the right of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders to direct the exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Administrative Agent may determine. The Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Administrative Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 8.9. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY); AND WAIVES DUE DILIGENCE, DEMAND, PRESENTMENT AND PROTEST AND ANY NOTICES THEREOF AS WELL AS NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO
-24-
HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.9.
SECTION 8.10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be so affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 8.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.12. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 8.13. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. The Grantors agree that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or any federal court sitting therein as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. The Grantors hereby waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against a Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. The Grantors agree that any action commenced by any Grantor asserting any claim or counterclaim arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be brought solely in a court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or any federal court sitting therein as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.1. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 8.14. Joinder to Security Agreement. As contemplated in the Credit Agreement, additional Subsidiaries may from time to time become parties hereto and additional Grantors hereunder by execution and delivery of a Joinder to Security Agreement. Such Joinder to Security Agreement shall be effective upon delivery by such additional Grantor, without further action or consent or notice to any party hereto. Upon delivery of such Joinder to Security
-25-
Agreement, all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be joint and several with the obligations of each other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 8.15. Joinder to Credit Agreement. Each Grantor hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of Articles V, VI and VII of the Credit Agreement as a “Loan Party” thereunder.
SECTION 8.16. Termination; Release of Collateral.
(a) Any Lien upon any Collateral and/or Xxxxxxxx Collateral will be released automatically, if the Collateral and/or Xxxxxxxx Collateral constitutes property being sold, transferred or disposed of in Asset Sale permitted under the Credit Agreement upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by the Credit Agreement.
(b) Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Collateral and/or any Xxxxxxxx Collateral described in Section 8.16(a); provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under Applicable Law, expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by any Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral and/or the Xxxxxxxx Collateral.
(c) Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the Security Interest granted herein shall terminate when (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated and (ii) the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other Secured Obligations (which for purposes of this clause shall include the obligations in respect of Hedging Agreements only if the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have been accelerated and Liquidation has commenced and then only to the extent then due and payable) (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full, at which time the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents that the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, and the Security Interest granted herein shall be reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, Grantor or other Loan Party. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 8.16 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.
SECTION 8.17. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and Security Interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the
-26-
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
