any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement, the other Basic Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;
(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement, the other Basic Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or
(d) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.
The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement, the other Basic Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
3.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 3 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
3.04 Subrogation. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations, and the expiration and termination of all letters of credit or commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement, they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 3.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise,
- 13 -
against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
3.05 Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Secured Parties, a Guaranteed Obligation may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the Credit Agreement including Article VII thereof (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided therein including such Article VII) for purposes of Section 3.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantors and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 3.01.
3.06 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 3 is a continuing guarantee of payment (and not of collection), and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
3.07 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 3 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Secured Party, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion action under New York CPLR Section 3213.
3.08 Rights of Contribution. The Credit Parties hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, then each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 3.08 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 3 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.
For purposes of this Section 3.08, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock or other equity interest of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the
- 14 -
debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of the Borrower and all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder) of the Borrower and all of the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the date hereof, as of the date hereof, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
3.09 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving
any state corporate or other law, or any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary
Guarantor under Section 3.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 3.08,
be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any
other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 3.01, then,
notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall,
without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Secured Party or any other Person, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not
subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
3.10 Indemnity by Borrower .. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3.04), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part the Guaranteed Obligations, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.
Section 4. Collateral. As collateral security for the payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of its Secured Obligations, each Grantor hereby pledges and grants to the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Secured Parties as hereinafter provided a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following property, in each case whether tangible or intangible, wherever located, and whether now owned by such Grantor or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (all of the property described in this Section 4 being collectively referred to herein as “Collateral”):
(a) all Accounts, all Chattel Paper, all Deposit Accounts, all Documents, all General Intangibles, all Instruments (including all Promissory Notes), all Investment Property not covered by the foregoing (including all
- 15 -
Securities, all Securities Accounts and all Security Entitlements with respect thereto and Financial Assets carried therein), and all Letter-of-Credit Rights where the underlying letter of credit supports Collateral;
(b) without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (a), all Loans as from time to time are subject to the Sale and Servicing Agreement as listed in the Collateral Schedule, as the same may be amended or supplemented on the date of each Borrowing and by the removal of Deleted Collateral, Repurchased Loans and Unqualified Collateral and by the addition of Qualified Substitute Collateral, together with the Servicer’s Loan Files and the Custodial Loan Files relating thereto and all Mortgages and security interests in the Mortgaged Properties;
(c) the Pledged Shares;
(d) all right, title and interest of the Borrower in, to and under the Basic Documents including, without limitation, the Borrower’s right to cause the Depositor to repurchase Loans from the Borrower under certain circumstances described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and
(e) all present and future claims, demands, causes of action and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing and all payments on or under and all Proceeds of any of the Collateral and, to the extent related to any Collateral, all books, correspondence, credit files, records, invoices and other papers (including all tapes, cards, computer runs and other papers and documents in the possession or under the control of such Grantor or any computer bureau or service company from time to time acting for such Grantor),
IT BEING UNDERSTOOD, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the security interest granted under this Section 4 attach to any contract, property rights, obligation, instrument or agreement to which a Grantor is a party (or to any of its rights or interests thereunder) if the grant of such security interest would constitute or result in either (i) the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of such Grantor therein or (ii) in a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such contract, property rights, obligation, instrument or agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective by Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction).
Section 5. Covenants of the Grantor. In furtherance of the grant of the security interest pursuant to Section 4, each Grantor hereby agrees with the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Secured Parties as follows:
5.01 Delivery and Other Perfection. Within 60 days after the acquisition by a Grantor of any part of the Collateral as to which physical possession by the Collateral Custodian is required in order for such Collateral to have been “Delivered”, such Grantor shall take such actions as shall be necessary to effect Delivery of such Collateral. As to all other Collateral, such Grantor shall cause the same to be Delivered within five Business Days of the acquisition
- 16 -
thereof to the extent not required to be delivered earlier pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall promptly from time to time give, execute, deliver, file, record, authorize or obtain all such financing statements, continuation statements, notices, instruments, documents, account control agreements or any other agreements or consents or other papers as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in the judgment of the Administrative Agent to create, preserve, perfect, maintain the perfection of or validate the security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Collateral Custodian to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such security interest, and without limiting the foregoing, shall:
(a) keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral in all material respects, and stamp or otherwise xxxx such books and records in such manner as the Collateral Custodian may reasonably require in order to reflect the security interests granted by this Agreement; and
(b) permit representatives of the Collateral Custodian, upon reasonable notice, at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from its books and records pertaining to the Collateral at the expense of such Credit Party, and permit representatives of the Collateral Custodian to be present at such Grantor’s place of business to receive copies of communications and remittances relating to the Collateral, and forward copies of any notices or communications received by such Grantor with respect to the Collateral, all in such manner as the Collateral Custodian may require, provided that each such Grantor shall be entitled to have its representatives and advisors present during any inspection of its books and records at such Grantor’s place of business.
Each Grantor hereby authorizes the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement naming such Grantor as “debtor” and the Collateral Custodian as “secured party” and describing the collateral therein as “all assets” or words of similar import.
5.02 Other Financing Statements or Control. Except as otherwise permitted under Section
6(f) of the Credit Agreement, the Grantors shall not (a) file or suffer to be on file, or authorize
or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like
instrument with respect to any of the Collateral in which the Collateral Custodian is not named as
the sole Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or (b) cause or permit any
Person other than the Collateral Custodian to have Control of any Deposit Account, Electronic
Chattel Paper, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Right constituting part of the Collateral.
5.03 Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. As contemplated by Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, new Subsidiaries of the Borrower formed or acquired by the Borrower after the date hereof, are required to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” under this Agreement, by executing and delivering to the Collateral Custodian a Guarantee Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Accordingly, upon the execution and delivery of any such Guarantee Assumption Agreement by any such Subsidiary, such new Subsidiary shall automatically and immediately, and without any further action on the part of any Person, become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and a “Grantor” for all purposes of this Agreement, and Annexes 1 through 6,
- 17 -
inclusive, hereto shall be deemed to be supplemented in the manner specified in such Guarantee Assumption Agreement. In addition, upon execution and delivery of any such Guarantee Assumption Agreement, the new Subsidiary Guarantor makes the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 as of the date of such Guarantee Assumption Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Equity Subsidiary shall be required to grant any collateral security in any of its assets under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, but shall only be required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder.
Section 6. Acceleration Notice; Remedies; Distribution of Collateral.
6.01 Preservation of Rights. The Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.
6.02 Events of Default, Etc. During the period during which an Event of Default or Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) each Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Custodian, assemble the Collateral owned by it at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Custodian and such Grantor, designated in the Collateral Custodian’s request;
(b) the Collateral Custodian may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;
(c) the Collateral Custodian shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Custodian were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Grantor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);
(d) the Collateral Custodian in its discretion may (and at the direction of the Administrative Agent shall), in its name or in the name of any Grantor or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so; and
(e) the Collateral Custodian may, upon ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Grantors of the time and place (or, if such sale is to take place on the NYSE or any other established exchange or market, prior to the time of such sale or other disposition), with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall
- 18 -
thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Collateral Custodian, the other Secured Parties or any of their respective agents, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Collateral Custodian deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Collateral Custodian or any other Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Grantors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The Collateral Custodian 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 the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.
The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.05.
The Grantors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Custodian may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Custodian than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that to the extent any such private sale is conducted by the Collateral Custodian in a commercially reasonable manner, the Collateral Custodian shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Grantors, or the issuer thereof, to register it for public sale.
6.03 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 6.02 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency.
6.04 Private Sale. The Collateral Custodian and the Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 6.02 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Custodian or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate
- 19 -
amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Custodian accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, so long as such private sale was conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.
6.05 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral of any Grantor pursuant hereto, and any other cash of any Grantor at the time held by the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement, shall be applied by the Collateral Custodian as follows:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Custodian and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Collateral Custodian in connection therewith;
Second, to the payment of any fees and other amounts then owing by such Grantor to the Collateral Custodian in its capacity as such;
Third, to the payment of the Secured Obligations of such Grantor then due and payable, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof that are then due and payable (it being understood that, to the extent any cover in respect of a letter of credit shall be due and payable under a Basic Document, that such cover shall be deemed to be a Secured Obligation that is due and payable for purposes hereof); and
Fourth, after application as provided in clauses “First”, “Second” and “Third” above, to the payment to the respective Grantor, or their respective successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
In making the allocations required by this Section, the Collateral Custodian may rely upon its records and information supplied to it by the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Custodian shall have no liability to any of the other Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, except to the extent of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Custodian may, in its sole discretion, at the time of any application under this Section, withhold all or any portion of the proceeds otherwise to be applied to the Secured Obligations as provided above and maintain the same in a segregated cash collateral account in the name and under the exclusive Control of the Collateral Custodian, to the extent that it in good faith believes that the information provided to it by the Administrative Agent is either incomplete or inaccurate and that application of the full amount of such proceeds to the Secured Obligations would be disadvantageous to any Secured Party. All distributions made by the Collateral Custodian pursuant to this Section shall be final (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction), and the Collateral Custodian shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the other Secured Parties of any amounts distributed to them.
6.06 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Custodian while no Event of Default or Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or Trigger Event the Collateral Custodian is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of each Grantor
- 20 -
for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 6 and taking any action and executing any instruments which the Collateral Custodian may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled under this Section 6 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Collateral Custodian shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Grantor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
Section 7. The Collateral Custodian.
7.01 Powers and Immunities. The Collateral Custodian (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 7.04 and the first sentence of Section 7.05 shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents):
(a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for, or a fiduciary with respect to, any Lender;
(b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any notice delivered hereunder, or in any other certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by it under, this Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the Credit Parties or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder;
(c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder except, subject to Section 7.05, for any such litigation or proceedings relating to the enforcement of the guarantee set forth in Section 3, or the Liens created pursuant to Section 4; and
(d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7.02 Reliance by Collateral Custodian. The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Custodian. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Collateral Custodian shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Secured Parties,
- 21 -
and such instructions of the Required Secured Parties and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Secured Parties. If in one or more instances the Collateral Custodian takes any action or assumes any responsibility not specifically delegated to it pursuant to this Agreement, neither the taking of such action nor the assumption of such responsibility shall be deemed to be an express or implied undertaking on the part of the Collateral Custodian that it will take the same or similar action or assume the same or similar responsibility in any other instance.
7.03 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Collateral Custodian and each Related Party of the Collateral Custodian (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 8.04, but without limiting the obligations of the Credit Parties under Section 8.04) ratably in accordance with the aggregate Secured Obligations held by the Lenders, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee (including by any other Secured Party) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in connection with or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Basic Documents, or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that the Credit Parties are obligated to pay under Section 8.04, but excluding, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.
7.04 Non-Reliance on Collateral Custodian and Other Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Collateral Custodian or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their Subsidiaries and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in reliance on this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Custodian or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and any Basic Document to which it is a party. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Credit Party of this Agreement, any other Basic Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Credit Party. The Collateral Custodian shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any other Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their affiliates) that may come into the possession of the Collateral Custodian or any of its affiliates, except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the other Secured Parties by the Collateral Custodian hereunder.
7.05 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or
- 22 -
refusing to act hereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the other Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations under Section 7.03 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any action that in the judgment of the Collateral Custodian would violate any applicable law.
7.06 Agents and Attorneys-in-Fact. The Collateral Custodian may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
8.01 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other demands hereunder and other communications provided for herein shall be given or made in writing, (a) to any party hereto, telecopied or delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof (provided that notices to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to such Subsidiary Guarantor care of the Borrower at the address for the Borrower specified herein) or (b) as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. All notices to any Lender that is not a party hereto shall be given to the Administrative Agent.
8.02 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Collateral Custodian or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Secured Party of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
8.03 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in any Security Document, the terms of this Agreement and the other Security Documents may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by each Credit Party and the Collateral Custodian, with the consent of the Required Secured Parties, provided that
(a) no such amendment shall adversely affect the relative rights of any Secured Party as against any other Secured Party without the prior written consent of such first Secured Party,
(b) without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Custodian shall not release all or substantially all of the collateral under the Security Documents or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under Section 3 hereof,

(f) the Collateral Custodian is authorized to release (and shall release) any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its guarantee obligations under Section 3 hereof to the extent such Subsidiary is the subject of a disposition not prohibited under the Basic Documents or to which the Required Secured Parties shall have consented and upon such release, the Collateral Custodian is authorized to release (and shall release) any collateral security granted by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under the other Security Documents.
Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon the Collateral Custodian, each Secured Party and each Credit Party.
