The Security Agent, in its discretion, may discharge taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or any other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral and not constituting Permitted Encumbrances, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to the extent the Grantor fails to do so as required by the Facilities Agreement or this Security Agreement after written notice of the same has been sent to the Grantor. The Grantor agrees to reimburse the Security Agent on demand for any and all expenditures so made, and all sums disbursed by the Security Agent in connection with this Section 7.1, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantor to the Security Agent and shall constitute additional Obligations. The Security Agent shall have no obligation to the Grantor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof relieve the Grantor of any default.
Section 7.2 Security Agent's Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Grantor shall remain liable under each contract, agreement or instrument comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Grantor thereunder. The Security Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Security Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Security Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Security Agent in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, 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 the Security Agent or to which the Security Agent may be entitled at any time or times. The Security Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the NYUCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Security Agent deals with similar property for its own account.
Section 7.3 Use of Collateral. With respect to any Collateral in the possession of the Security Agent, or a bailee or other third party holding on its behalf, the Security Agent may use or operate such Collateral in any manner and to the extent reasonably determined by the Security Agent.
ARTICLE 8
NOTIFICATION TO ACCOUNT DEBTORS AND OTHER PERSONS OBLIGATED ON COLLATERAL
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor shall, at the request of the Security Agent, notify account debtors and other Persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the Security Interest of the Security Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in any Account, Chattel Paper, General Intangible, Instrument or other property of the Grantor constituting Collateral and that payment of such obligor's obligation is to be made directly to the Security Agent or to any financial institution designated by the Security Agent as the Security Agent's agent therefor, and the Security
19
Agent may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon the Grantor, so notify such account debtors and other Persons obligated on such Collateral. After the making of such a request by the Security Agent or the giving of any such notification by the Security Agent (as applicable), the Grantor shall hold any proceeds of collection of Accounts, Chattel Paper, General Intangibles, Instruments and other Collateral received by the Grantor as trustee for the Security Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) without commingling the same with other funds of the Grantor and shall turn the same over to the Security Agent in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Security Agent may apply the proceeds of collection of Accounts, Chattel Paper, General Intangibles, Instruments and other Collateral received by the Security Agent to the Obligations or hold such proceeds as additional Collateral, at the option of the Security Agent. The provisions of Section 9-209 of the NYUCC shall not apply to any Account, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible as to which notification of assignment has been sent to the account debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral.
Section 9.1 Appointment and Powers of Security Agent. (a) The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Security Agent and any director, officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Grantor or in the Security Agent's own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement or any other Security Document, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice to, or assent by, the Grantor, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, license, lease, make any agreement with respect to, or otherwise dispose of, or deal with, any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the NYUCC and as fully and completely as though the Security Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Security Agent deems necessary or desirable to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Security Agent's (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) Security Interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do, including:
(i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of the 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;
(ii) filing and prosecuting registration and transfer applications with any Governmental Authority with respect to Trademarks, Copyrights and patentable inventions and processes;
(iii) exercising voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if the Security Agent so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation in a commercially reasonable manner of assets of the issuer of any such securities; and
(iv) executing, delivering and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral.
20
Section 9.2 Ratification by Grantor. To the extent permitted by law, the Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do, or cause to be done, by virtue of this Article 9. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the termination of this Security Agreement pursuant to Section 18.12.
Section 9.3 No Duty on Security Agent. The powers conferred on the Security Agent, its directors, officers and agents pursuant to this Article 9 are solely to protect the Security Agent's and the Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any of them to exercise any such powers. The Security Agent shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act (except for such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), nor for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages.
Section 10.1 Remedies upon Default. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Security Agent, without any other notice to or demand upon the Grantor, 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 NYUCC and any additional rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Security Agent may, so far as the Grantor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. The Security Agent may in its discretion require the Grantor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Grantor's principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Security Agent may reasonably designate.
(b) Unless the Collateral is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Security Agent shall give to the Grantor at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. The Grantor hereby acknowledges that ten (10) days' prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice.
(c) To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Security Agent may purchase Collateral at any public sale and, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of the type that is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, the Security Agent may purchase such Collateral at private sale, and in each case may make payment therefor by any means, including by release or discharge of Obligations in lieu of cash payment.
(d) In addition, the Grantor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Security Agent's rights hereunder, including its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto. Whether or not any Obligations are due, the Security Agent may after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default demand, xxx for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral.
Section 10.2 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Security Agent to exercise any rights and remedies it may have under this Article 10 or otherwise at such time as the Security Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Grantor hereby grants to the Security Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantor) to use, license or sub-license any of the
21
Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable 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. The use of such license by the Security Agent shall be exercised, at the Security Agent's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, that any license, sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Security Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure, waiver or other termination of an Event of Default.
Section 10.3 Disposition of Pledged Securities. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a) Subject to the provisions of the Facilities Agreement (including any notice provisions contained therein), the Security Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged Securities, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all rights of voting, exercise and conversion with respect to the Pledged Securities and all of the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the NYUCC at that time (whether or not applicable to the affected Pledged Securities) and may also, without obligation to resort to other security, at any time and from time to time sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, all or any of the Pledged Securities, in one or more parcels at the same or different times, and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, on any securities exchange on which any Pledged Securities may be listed, or at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith the Security Agent may grant options.
(b) If any of the Pledged Securities are sold by the Security Agent upon credit or for future delivery, the Security Agent shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, the Security Agent may resell such Pledged Securities. In no event shall the Grantor be credited with any part of the proceeds of sale of any Pledged Securities until cash payment therefor has actually been received by the Security Agent.
(c) Without limitation of Section 6.8 and subject to the provisions of the Facilities Agreement (including any notice provisions contained therein), the Security Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations; and (ii) whether or not any Obligations are due, the Security Agent may demand, xxx for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Security Agent or any other Secured Party to the Grantor may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations whether or not due and owing.
(d) The Grantor recognizes that the Security Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Pledged Securities consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or in applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws, as now or hereafter in effect, 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 such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor agrees that any such Pledged Securities sold at any such private sale may be sold at a price and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sale. The Security Agent shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities, even if such issuer would agree, to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act. The Grantor
22
agrees that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
(e) The Security Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Securities if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given. The Security 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.
(f) The remedies provided herein in favor of the Security Agent shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in favor of the Security Agent existing at law or in equity.
ARTICLE 11
STANDARDS FOR EXERCISING REMEDIES
To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on the Security Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Security Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Security Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition or to postpone any such disposition pending any such preparation or completion; (b) to fail to obtain third-party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third-party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on, or any adverse claims against, any of the Collateral; (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral; (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (j) to disclaim disposition warranties; (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Security Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Security Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Security Agent, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Security Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Article 11 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Security Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Security Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Security Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on the account of not being indicated in this Article 11. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article 11 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Security Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Article 11.
23
ARTICLE 12
SURETYSHIP WAIVERS BY THE GRANTOR
(a) All rights of the Security Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, and the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Facilities Agreement, any other Finance Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Facilities Agreement, any other Finance Document or any other agreement or instrument, (iii) 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 or any acceptance of partial payment thereon and or settlement, compromise or adjustment of any Secured Obligation or of any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations (other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full in cash of the Obligations), or (iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Security Agreement (other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full in cash of the Obligations).
(b) The Grantor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Security Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description. The Security Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in Section 7.2.
The Security Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Security Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Grantor hereby agrees that it shall not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Security Agent's rights under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
ARTICLE 14
PROCEEDS OF DISPOSITIONS; EXPENSES
After deducting all expenses payable by the Grantor, including pursuant to Section 18.9, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale of the Obligations or Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied in the order and manner provided for in Clause 32 (Sharing) of the Facilities Agreement. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations and the termination of all commitments under the Facilities Agreement and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the NYUCC, any excess shall be
24
returned to the Grantor, and in any event the Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency in the payment of the Obligations.
Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the Grantor hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment, interest at the rate of interest set forth in the Facilities Agreement.
The obligations of the Grantor pursuant to this Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or automatically be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by the Security Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Grantor or any other obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law. All of the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling, and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law.
25

IF THE GRANTOR FAILS TO APPOINT SUCH AGENT WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS, THE SECURITY AGENT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO APPOINT SUCH AGENT BY NOTICE TO THE GRANTOR.

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE GRANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT WHICH IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION OR DISPUTE REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES.

Delivery of an executed signature page to this Security Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
Section 18.4 Headings. The headings of each section of this Security Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provision hereof.
Section 18.5 Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Security 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 Grantor or the Security Agent that are contained in this Security Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
Section 18.6 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.
Section 18.7 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
27
Section 18.8 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Security Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Finance Documents and the advance of all extensions of credit contemplated thereby, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Security Agreement shall terminate (or thereafter to the extent provided herein or therein).
Section 18.9 Security Agent's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Grantor agrees to pay upon demand to the Security Agent the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which the Security Agent may incur in the manner and to the extent as set forth in Section 25 of the Facilities Agreement.
(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Finance Documents, the Grantor agrees to indemnify the Security Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, incurred by or asserted against any of them arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Security Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating hereto or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its affiliates.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 18.9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Security Agreement or any other Finance Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Security Agreement or any other Finance Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Security Agent or any Finance Party. All amounts due under this Section 18.9 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
Section 18.10 Binding Effect. This Security Agreement shall become effective as to the Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the Grantor shall have been delivered to the Security Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Security Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon the Grantor and the Security Agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the Grantor, the Security Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Grantor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Security Agreement or the Facilities Agreement.
Section 18.11 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Security Agent exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Security Agent hereunder and of the Security Agent, the Secured Parties and the Finance Parties under the other Finance Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this Security Agreement or any other Finance Document or consent to any departure by the Grantor therefrom
28
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 the Grantor in any case shall entitle the Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Security Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Security Agent and the Grantor, subject to any consent required in accordance with Clause 40 (Amendments) of the Facilities Agreement.
Section 18.12 Termination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under Sections 9-207, 9-208 or 9-209 of the NYUCC, this Security Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate when all of the then outstanding Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in cash in full, at which time the Security Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantor or the Grantor's designee, at the Grantor's expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents which the Grantor shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 18.12(a) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Security Agent.
(b) The Security Interest in any Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in accordance with this Security Agreement, the Facilities Agreement and the other Finance Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or amendment of the terms thereof) shall automatically terminate and be released upon the closing of such sale, transfer or other disposition, and such Collateral shall be sold free and clear of the Lien and Security Interest created hereby; provided, however, that the Security Interest will continue to attach to all proceeds of such sales or other disposition. In connection with any of the foregoing, the Security Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantor or the Grantor's designee, at the Grantor's expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents that the Grantor shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination.
