(e) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon request of the Collateral Agent, promptly notify each account debtor in respect of any Accounts or Instruments that such Collateral has been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder, and that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent; and
-7-
(f) provide the Collateral Agent with thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent to (a) change its name or the name of any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) dispose of a significant portion of its equity or assets or the equity or assets of any of its subsidiaries.
4.2 Other Financing Statements and Liens. Except with respect to Permitted Indebtedness, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Company shall not file or authorize or permit to be filed, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent is not named as the sole secured party for the benefit of each of the Purchasers, except for Permitted Liens.
4.3 Preservation of Rights. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.
4.4 Events of Default, etc. During the period during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(b) The Collateral Agent 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 with the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) The Collateral Agent may, upon thirty (30) Business Days prior written notice to the Company, of the time and place, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Collateral Agent, or any of its respective agents, sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Collateral Agent deems best, and for cash or on 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
-8-
time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived) and the Collateral Agent or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, 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 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 Company, any such demand, notice or right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released. The Collateral 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 the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned.
(f) The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.04 shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.08 hereof.

The Company acknowledges that any such private sales to an unrelated third party in an arm’s length transaction may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent 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 respective Issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

4.7 Private Sale. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale to an unrelated third party in an arm’s length transaction pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent 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 amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
-9-
4.8 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 pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Section 4, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent:
(a) 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 Agent and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses, and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith;

As used in this Section 4, “proceeds” of Collateral shall mean cash, securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Company or any issuer of or obligor on any of the Collateral.
4.9 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Company for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4 and taking any action and executing any instruments which the Collateral Agent may 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 Purchasers shall be entitled under this Section 4 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Company representing any dividend, payment, or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
4.10 Perfection; Name Changes.

The Collateral Agent shall also execute and deliver to the Company upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, certificates for terminating the Liens on the Motor Vehicles and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral.
