and Remedies
(a) In

(ii) foreclose the liens created hereunder, (iii) realize upon, take
possession of and/or sell any Collateral or securities pledged with or without
judicial process, (iv) exercise all rights and powers with respect to the
Collateral as any of the Corporations might exercise, (v) collect and send
notices regarding the Collateral, with or without judicial process, (vi) by its
own means or with judicial assistance, enter any premises at which Collateral is
located, or render any of the foregoing unusable or dispose of the Collateral on
such premises without any liability for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums,
and Borrower shall not resist or interfere with such action, (vii) require that
all or any part of the Collateral be assembled and made available to Lender at
any place designated by Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of any

any time that Borrower fails to do so, and from time to time, without prior
notice, to: (i) obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral to the extent
required hereunder; (ii) pay for the performance of any of Obligations; (iii)
discharge taxes or Liens on any of the Collateral that are in violation of any

added to the Obligations until reimbursed to Lender and shall be secured by the
Collateral, and such payments by Lender shall not be construed as a waiver by
Lender of any Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of
Lender.
(b) Borrower and the Guarantors each agree
that notice received by it at least twenty (20) calendar days before the time of
any intended public sale, or the time after which any private sale or other
disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice
of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law,
any perishable Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which
is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Lender without prior
notice to any of the Corporations. At any sale or disposition of
Collateral, Lender may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all
or any part thereof free from any right of redemption by any of the Corporations
which right is hereby waived and released. Each of Borrower and the
Guarantors covenants and agrees not to, and not to permit or cause any of the
Corporations to, interfere with or impose any obstacle to Lender’s exercise of
its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Lender, in
dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, shall not be
required to give priority or preference to any item of Collateral or otherwise
to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Collateral with judicial
process.
-17-
(c) Each
of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby grants to Lender, after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, an irrevocable, nonexclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation) to use,
assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by any of the Corporations, and wherever the same may be located,
including in such license reasonable access as to all media in which any of the
licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs and used
for the compilation or printout thereof, in each case in connection with the
exercise of Lender’s remedies hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents. All proceeds received by Lender in connection with such
license will be used by Lender to satisfy the Obligations.
(d) In
addition to the acceleration provisions set forth in Section 10 above, upon the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall take any
action that Lender may request in order to enable Lender to obtain and enjoy the
full rights and benefits granted to Lender hereunder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and continuation
of any Event of Default, at the request of Lender and at Borrower’s sole cost
and expense, each of the Corporations, as applicable, shall execute all
documents and take all other actions requested by Lender to enable Lender, its
designee, any receiver, trustee or similar official or any purchaser of all or
any part of the Collateral to obtain from any Person any required authority
necessary to operate the business of Borrower.
(e) In
addition to any other rights, options and remedies Lender has under the
Transaction Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, all profits, fees,
revenues, income and other proceeds collected or received from collecting,
holding, managing, renting, selling, or otherwise disposing of all or any part
of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof upon exercise of its remedies
hereunder shall be applied in the following order of
priority: (i) first, to the payment
of all costs and expenses of such collection, holding, operation, management,
sale, disposition or delivery with respect to maintaining the Collateral, and to
the payment of all sums which Lender may be required or may elect to pay, if
any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or
any part thereof, and all other payments that Lender may be required or
authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, in each such case, in-house documentation and diligence fees and
legal expenses, search, audit, recording, professional and filing fees and
expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and all expenses, liabilities and
advances made or incurred in connection therewith); (ii) second, to the
payment of all Obligations as provided herein; (iii) third, to the payment
of any surplus then remaining to the Borrower, unless otherwise provided by law
or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the
Corporations shall be liable for any deficiency if such proceeds are
insufficient to satisfy the Obligations or any of the other items referred to in
this section.
(f) Lender
shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens
and/or remedies Lender may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or
modify, and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of
Lender’s rights, Liens or remedies under any Transaction Document, applicable
law or equity. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any
Transaction Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and
remedies of Lender described in any Transaction Document are cumulative and are
not alternative to or exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Lender
otherwise may have. The partial or complete exercise of any right or
remedy shall not preclude any other further exercise of such or any other right
or remedy.

marketing materials issued or made by any Party relating to this Agreement or

to review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, by
the other Party prior to release; provided, however, that this prior approval
requirement shall not apply to: (i) announcements intended solely for internal

conducted.
(b) Lender
has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
all other documents in connection with this Agreement, and to carry out the
terms of this Agreement, and has taken all action required on its part necessary

Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Lender, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except as its enforceability may be limited by

state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein
misleading.

conflict with or constitute a material default under any other obligation of the
Lender.
(f) Lender
is in a financial position to bear the economic risk of the Investment and
withstand a complete loss of the Funds.
(g) Lender
is taking the position and believes that the Investment is not a security for
the purposes of US Federal Securities Laws and corresponding state blue sky
laws. This fact notwithstanding, the Lender represents to the Borrower that the
Lender is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Further, at no time
will the Lender transfer any portion of the Investment to any person or entity
that is not an accredited investor.
(h) Lender
recognizes that the Investment involves a high degree of risk. Lender is aware
that short term loans can have a high rate of default and that the Lender may
not receive the return or any return on its Investment that it hopes to
receive.
(i) The
Investment is suitable for the Lender based upon its investment objectives and
financial needs and the Lender has adequate net worth and means for providing
for its financial needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity of
investment with respect to the Investment.

professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in the Investment and the
suitability of the Investment in light of the Lender’s financial condition and
investment needs.

has been furnished with or has had access to such information as a sophisticated
investor would customarily require to evaluate the merits and risks of the
Investment together such additional information as the Lender considers
necessary to verify the accuracy of the information supplied. Lender further
represents that the Lender has had an opportunity to ask questions of Borrower’s
management as the Lender has deemed necessary or desirable. Lender further
represents and acknowledges that the Lender has been solely responsible for the
Lender’s own: (i) due diligence investigation of Borrower, its management and
its assets; (ii) analysis of the merits and risks of the Investment; and (iii)
analysis of the terms of the Investment, and that in taking any action or
performing any role relative to the arranging of the Investment, the Lender has
acted solely in the Lender’s own interest.
(l) Lender
is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Further, the Lender
further represents that it is a sophisticated investor, can bear the economic
risk of this Investment for an indefinite period of time, and has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of this Investment. Lender further represents
that it is the position of Borrower that this Investment is not a security
within the meaning of the Federal and State securities laws however, if it is
determined that this Investment is a security for the purposes of such laws, the
Investment has been issued pursuant to exemptions from registration under the
applicable securities laws.
(m) Lender
has purchased the GAF Note from GAF and as a result is the sole beneficiary of

title and interest to the GAF Note.

of the respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, and
attorneys of the Persons identified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above
(collectively, the “Lender
Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
damages, penalties, demands, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses,
including without limitation those costs and expenses relating to any
investigation or any defense or prosecution of any proceedings, and reasonable
fees and expenses of attorneys, (collectively, “Lender Losses”) suffered or
incurred by the Lender Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or
resulting from any claims, suits, arbitrations, or actions instituted by a third
Party based on any of the following:
-21-
(i) the
breach in any material respect of any representation or warranty made by the

failure of Borrower and the Guarantors to perform any other covenant and
agreement contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Documents;

attorneys, (collectively, “Borrower Losses”) suffered or
incurred by the Borrower Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or

Party based on any of the following:
(i) The
inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation or warranty made by the
Lender and contained in this Agreement; and
(ii) Lender’s,
its employees’ or its agents’ burglary, fraud, theft, other criminal acts, gross
negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.
(c) General. If any claim or
demand is asserted against any Lender Indemnified Party or Borrower Indemnified
Party (individually or collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) by any
person who is not a Party to this Agreement in respect of which the Indemnified
Party may be entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Section
14, written notice of such claim or demand shall promptly be given to the Party
(the “Indemnifying
Party”) from whom indemnification may be sought. The
Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by notifying the Indemnified Party
within ten (10) days of its receipt of the notice of the claim or demand, to
assume the entire control (subject to the right of the Indemnified Party to
participate at the Indemnified Party’s expense and with counsel of the
Indemnified Party’s choice) of the defense, compromise or settlement of the
matter, including, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, employment of counsel of
the Indemnifying Party’s choice reasonably acceptable to the other
Party. If the Indemnifying Party gives notice to any Indemnified
Party that the Indemnifying Party will assume control of the defense, compromise
or settlement of the matter, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have
waived all defenses to the claims for indemnification by the Indemnified Party
with respect to that matter. Any damages to the Indemnified Party caused by a
failure of the Indemnifying Party to defend, compromise or settle a claim or
demand in a reasonable and expeditious manner, after the Indemnifying Party has
given notice that it will assume control of the defense, compromise or
settlement of the matter, shall be included in the damages for which the
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified
Party.

this clause 14 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement until
