	b.		The Client may obtain an Advance by: (i) requesting CGMHI to wire transfer Federal funds in the amount of the Advance to a bank account in the Client’s name or (ii) by any other method agreed upon by CGMHI and the Client.

	c.		Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Client may request Advances on not less than one (1) Business Day’s notice to CGMHI from time to time from the date of this Agreement to May 4, 2009 (the “Advance Termination Date”).

	d.		Subject to Section 5, the Client agrees to pay, commencing on March 5, 2009, the Loan Obligation or any part thereof upon demand by CGMHI therefor. The Loan Obligation or part thereof demanded to be repaid shall be due at the end of the applicable Repayment Notice Period. In this Agreement, “Repayment Notice Period” means the period beginning on the date CGMHI demands repayment, and ending on the earlier of (i) 60 days thereafter, and (ii) if any circumstances that would constitute a default hereunder then exist (or come into existence during such period), at the end of any grace or notice period applicable to such circumstances as set forth in Section 9(a) (and in the event there is no grace or notice period for such circumstances set forth in Section 9(a), immediately). (In the event of a default, the provisions of Section 9 shall apply.) Upon consummation of the exercise of the Option as provided in Section 22(b), any Repayment Notice Period shall be terminated without the Loan Obligation becoming due. As used in this Agreement, “Loan Obligation” means the total amount of any balance outstanding with respect to all Advances, including any accrued but unpaid interest, as well as any costs of collection and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs payable pursuant to this Agreement. The Client may prepay the Loan Obligation in whole or in part without penalty at any time.

	e.		Subject to Section 5, if for any reason at any time (i) the Loan Obligation exceeds the Loan Maximum or (ii) the Loan Obligation exceeds the Borrowing Base, (either such excess, a “Shortfall”) Client shall immediately prepay Advances, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (or, in lieu thereof, deposit cash to the Account as Collateral), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such Shortfall (and in the event that the Client fails to make such prepayment, CGMHI shall be entitled to liquidate Collateral and apply the proceeds to repayment of the Loan Obligation sufficient to make such prepayment).

	f.		All cash proceeds from any liquidation (whether by sale, redemption, exchange or otherwise) of Collateral pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be applied in full immediately to repayment of the Loan Obligation (if any) and shall permanently reduce the Loan Maximum (i) except in connection with sales pursuant to Section 9(c)(iv), in the full amount of such proceeds, and (ii) in connection with sales pursuant to Section 9(c)(iv), in the amount equal to the greater of (A) the full amount of such proceeds and (B) 75% of the face amount of such Collateral. The Client shall be entitled to remove from the Account the amount of any such cash proceeds remaining after repayment in full of any Loan Obligation then outstanding, and any such removed amount shall not constitute Collateral after such removal.

3.) Interest. CGMHI shall charge the Client interest at the daily variable rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 250 bps (the “Interest Rate”) on the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding, if any. Such interest shall be computed in the same manner as that set forth for securities margin accounts in the pamphlet prepared by Xxxxx Xxxxxx entitled “Important New Account Information” (hereafter referred to as “New Account Document”), which may be amended from time to time and which amendment shall become binding upon written notice to the Client (provided, that no such amendment shall change the Interest Rate without Client’s prior written consent). The Client hereby acknowledges receipt of the New Account Document. Interest shall be payable monthly, provided, that failure to pay interest during a Repayment Notice Period shall not constitute a default hereunder until the end of such Repayment Notice Period (but interest unpaid during such Repayment Notice Period shall be added to principal in accordance with this Section)). If, after application of interest paid on the Collateral pursuant to Section 4, (i) a sufficient amount of cash or money market fund shares is not available in the Account to pay the monthly interest amount, and (ii) sufficient Collateral acceptable to CGMHI is in the Account, the interest due shall be added to the Client’s outstanding principal balance hereunder and thereafter interest shall accrue on any such unpaid principal until paid in full. Client acknowledges and agrees that any such interest added to principal may reduce the availability of future Advances or if creating a Shortfall, require repayment and liquidation of Collateral.

4.) Collateral. As continuing security for the Loan Obligation, the Client hereby assigns, grants and conveys to CGMHI a first priority Lien and security interest in all cash, stocks, bonds, and other securities and instruments now or hereafter in the Account,

and all dividends, interest and proceeds of such property, and any property substituted by the Client in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral”). No substitution of Collateral shall be permitted without CGMHI’s approval, upon such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by CGMHI. The Client agrees to take any action reasonably requested by CGMHI to maintain and preserve CGMHI’s first priority Lien and security interest in the Collateral. Client hereby authorizes CGMHI to prepare and file Uniform Commercial Code financial statements without the signature of Client in respect of the Transaction Documents and Collateral. Except for withdrawals of interest pursuant to the following two sentences or as provided in Section 2(f) or Section 9(c), no withdrawals from the Account shall be permitted until the Loan Obligation is paid in full and CGMHI has no further obligations under this Agreement. At any time prior to the Client first requesting an Advance hereunder, Client shall be entitled to withdraw from the Account any interest that has been paid on the Collateral and remains as cash in the Account. From the date of the first Advance until the Loan Obligation has been repaid in full and CGMHI has no further obligations under this Agreement, all interest paid on the Collateral shall be applied immediately to payment of accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan Obligation (including the amount of any interest added to principal pursuant to Section 3) and any other portion of the Loan Obligation then due, and Client authorizes CGMHI to make such applications without any further approval or consent of Client required; provided, that, upon request made to CGMHI, Client shall be entitled to withdraw from the Account on or after the 15^th day of each month (except to the extent that a Shortfall would result from such withdrawal) the amount of such interest paid on the Collateral prior to the first day of such month exceeding (x) any accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan Obligation (including the amount of any interest added to principal pursuant to Section 3) plus (y) the amount of interest on the Loan Obligation payable for the preceding month.

5.) Non-Recourse. CGMHI shall not enforce the liabilities and obligations of the Client to pay the Loan Obligation, or to pay, perform and observe any other obligation contained in this Agreement or the Control Agreement (other than the Recourse Obligations), by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against the Client, or any subsidiary, shareholder, officer, director, agent or employee of the Client (collectively, “Client Related Parties”). In all instances, the Loan Obligation, and any other obligations (other than the Recourse Obligations), may only be satisfied out of the Collateral, and upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, CGMHI shall have no recourse and may not seek to enforce the Loan Obligation, or any other liabilities or obligations of the Client (other than the Recourse Obligations), against or with respect to any assets of the Client , other than the Collateral, or any Client Related Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CGMHI shall be entitled to recover from the Client (all of the following constituting the “Recourse Obligations”) any amounts payable pursuant to Section 15 that (i) consist of any amounts payable by Client pursuant to Section 8, (ii) result from any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 7 (which breach or breaches result in a Material Adverse Effect) or from breach by the Client of the representations, warranties and agreements, as applicable, set forth in 9(c) and Section 7(a)(iv), (iii) are in respect of any Third Party Claims, or (iv) result from any Statutory Tax Liens on the Collateral.

9.) Default; Remedies; Market Value Sales.

	ii.		the Client fails to pay any interest within five (5) Business Days after written notice from CGMHI that such interest is overdue, to make any payment when required by Section 2(e) (unless Collateral is liquidated and such payment made as provided in Section 2(e)), or to pay the Loan Obligation or any portion thereof upon demand by CGMHI pursuant to and as required by Section 2(d);

	iii.		the Client fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder (not otherwise referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 9(a)) and such failure is not remedied by the Client within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice by CGMHI of such failure;

	iv.		Client shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Client seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or the Client shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this subsection (iv); or

	v.		at any time when (A) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall cease to be in full force and effect, (B) this Agreement shall cease to give CGMHI the Liens, the material rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby, or the Lien on any of the Collateral, in favor of CGMHI shall fail or cease to be perfected and prior to the rights of all third Persons (subject to Xxxxx Barney’s rights in the Account and except for Statutory Tax Liens), except to the extent any such failure or cessation results from (x) the failure of CGMHI to file an initial Uniform Commercial Code financing statement or a continuation statement in respect thereof as required by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or (y) relinquishment of control (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) by CGMHI of any Collateral (including the Account) in respect of which a security interest therein may be perfected, or the priority of any such security interest enhanced, by control (other than, in the case of clause (x) or (y) to the extent that such loss of perfection or priority arises, directly or indirectly, as a result of any voluntary action by the Client); or

	vi.		any government agency with appropriate authority determines that Client or any ERISA Affiliate has a liability in relation to any Plan that would have a Material Adverse Effect or Client or any ERISA Affiliate has any liability in relation to any Multiemployer Plan that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

In the event a default occurs prior to the date upon which the Loan Obligation may be demanded for payment pursuant to Section 2(d), and Client has failed to cure such default after any required notice and permitted cure period, CGMHI is authorized, in its sole discretion, to take one or more of the following actions: (w) declare the Loan Obligation to be immediately due and payable by the Client to CGMHI; (x) reduce the Loan Maximum to a level determined by CGMHI, (y) liquidate, withdraw or sell Collateral and apply it to the Loan Obligation, and (z) terminate the Client’s borrowing privileges hereunder. In the event CGMHI makes a demand for repayment of the Loan Obligation pursuant to Section 2(d) which is not met by the end of any applicable Repayment Notice Period or a default occurs prior to the end of such Repayment Notice Period and Client has failed to cure such default after any required notice and permitted cure period, the Loan Obligation shall be deemed due and CGMHI shall be authorized, in its sole discretion, to take the actions described in clauses (x),(y) and (z) in this Section 9(b). All of the foregoing actions may be done without any further notice to, or demand upon, the Client (subject to the expiration of any applicable Repayment Notice Period). Any sale of Collateral may be made in CGMHI’s sole discretion on the exchange or market where such business is then usually transacted, at public auction or private sale (including, in the absence of a

			recognized market for the Collateral, a private sale to CGMHI or an affiliate of CGMHI at a valuation determined by CGMHI in good faith). In addition to CGMHI’s rights under this Agreement, CGMHI shall have the right to exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the New York Uniform Commercial Code then in effect. All rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies that CGMHI may have at law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent permitted by law, the Client expressly waives compliance with the provisions of Section 202 of the New York Lien Law.

	c.		Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section:

	i.		CGMHI shall be entitled to liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral (A) at any time prior to the making of the first Advance hereunder, when the aggregate Market Value of all of the Collateral is less than 70% of the aggregate face amount of the Collateral, provided that CGMHI shall have given Client ten (10) Business Days prior notice of such aggregate Market Value, and (B) at any time after the making of the first Advance hereunder, when the aggregate Market Value of all of the Collateral is less than 75% of the aggregate face amount of the Collateral, provided, that CGMHI shall have given Client five (5) Business Days prior notice of such aggregate Market Value, which notice shall (in the case of each of (A) and (B) above) include the information required by the penultimate sentence of the definition of “Market Value” in Section 1(l) as if Client has made a request pursuant thereto.

	ii.		CGMHI shall be entitled to liquidate all, but not less than all, of the Collateral at any time after the making of the first Advance hereunder if CGMHI can sell all, but not less than all, of the Collateral (other than cash) at a price equal to or greater than 90% of the face amount of such Collateral, provided that CGMHI shall have given Client notice of such sale not later than five (5) Business Days prior to such sale.

	iii.		In the event that the Market Value of any Auction Rate Security (or other security) included in the Collateral is greater than 75% of the face amount of such Auction Rate Security (or other security), and a nationally recognized market for such Auction Rate Security (or other security) then exists with sufficient volume and liquidity to enable a sale of such Auction Rate Security (or other security), Client shall be entitled to instruct CGMHI to sell such Auction Rate Security (or other security) into such market, and CGMHI shall as soon as is reasonably practicable after receiving such instructions in writing sell such Collateral into such market as

			instructed by Client, provided that CGMHI shall not be required to prioritize Client’s sale over that of any other CGMHI client or account unless required by Applicable Law. In no event shall Client be entitled to instruct CGMHI after the making of the first Advance hereunder to sell any Auction Rate Security (or other security) the Market Value of which is less than 75% of the face amount of such Auction Rate Security (or other security) without CGMHI’s prior written consent.

	iv.		Prior to the making of the first Advance hereunder, the Client shall be entitled to instruct CGMHI to sell all or any part of the Collateral at any price, and CGMHI shall as soon as is reasonably practicable after receiving such instructions in writing sell such Collateral as instructed by the Client, provided, that (A) a secondary market exists at such time with sufficient liquidity and volume to enable such sale, and (B) CGMHI shall not be required to prioritize Client’s sale over that of any other CGMHI client or account unless required by Applicable Law.

	v.		In the event that Client identifies an opportunity to sell an Auction Rate Security from the Account other than pursuant to Section 9(c)(iii) or 9(c)(iv) above, Client may notify CGMHI, and CGMHI will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to assist Client in executing such sale, provided that (x) the sale price is not less than 75% of the face amount of such Auction Rate Security and not less than the Market Value of such Auction Rate Security, (y) Client first offers CGMHI and Xxxxx Xxxxxx the opportunity (to which they will respond on a timely basis) to effect the purchase at the proposed price for CGMHI’s or Xxxxx Barney’s own account, as applicable, and (z) CGMHI is satisfied that all proceeds of the sale will be received into the Account against delivery of such Auction Rate Security and be applied as set forth in Section 2(f).

	vi.		All proceeds from any sales under this Section shall be applied in accordance with Section 2(f).

10.) Limitation of Liability. CGMHI shall not be liable to the Client for:

	a.		any loss, damage or expense caused directly or indirectly by circumstances that are not within CGMHI’s reasonable control, including government restrictions, exchange or market rulings, suspension of trading, disruptions in credit markets or liquidity therein (including markets relating to Auction Rate Securities or other Collateral), war, strikes or other conditions commonly known as “Acts of God”, or

	b.		any consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or special damages, even if such damages are reasonably foreseeable. The specific

reference and intent herein to consequential, incidental, indirect or special damages is to exclude “lost opportunity” actions and events as a measure of recoverable damages.

11.) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws rules of such State which would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

12.) Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Client without CGMHI’s prior written consent, and shall be binding upon the Client’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns (whichever is applicable); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Client may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to WebMD pursuant to the Merger referenced in Section 7(b)(ix) hereof without CGMHI’s prior written consent. CGMHI may assign this Agreement to any of its affiliates domiciled in any jurisdiction within the United States without the Client’s consent or prior notice to the Client. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each party’s successors and permitted assigns (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise). If requested by CGMHI, Client will take such steps (including entering into an appropriate account control agreement) as CGMHI shall reasonably request to preserve CGMHI’s assignee’s first priority perfected lien on the Collateral.

13.) Amendments; Waivers; Severability. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent hereunder shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties hereto, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of any law, rule, administrative order or judicial decision, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

14.) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all exhibits) and the other Transaction Documents reflect the entire agreement between CGMHI and the Client concerning Advances and the Loan Obligation and supersedes any other agreement, promise, representation or undertaking, whether written or oral, concerning the Advances and the Loan Obligation. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any other agreement between the Client and CGMHI, this Agreement will govern. CGMHI shall issue necessary instructions to Xxxxx Xxxxxx under the Control Agreement in order to meet CGMHI’s obligations under this Agreement.

15.) Indemnity. Without the necessity of a judicial determination, and whether or not litigation occurs, the Client hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CGMHI and its directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates from any and all claims (whether or not meritorious), liabilities, judgments, damages, losses, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (a) in any way related to, or arising out of or in connection with claims by any party other than Client,

CGMHI or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates (“Third Party Claims”) relating to this Agreement, including without limitation the Client’s failure to comply with its obligations hereunder, (b) arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted by CGMHI at the Client’s request, or any material untruth or inaccuracy of any of the Client’s representations and warranties in this Agreement or the matters referred to in the last sentence of Section 5, or (c) arising out of or resulting from any Statutory Tax Lien on the Collateral, but not including (in the case of either (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 15) any claims (whether or not meritorious), liabilities, judgments, damages, losses, costs and expenses based on CGMHI’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loan Obligation.

16.) Expenses. The Client agrees to pay or reimburse CGMHI for all costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred to enforce or preserve any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Loan Obligation and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law). All such amounts shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor.

17.) No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and the indemnitees under Section 15) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

18.) Illegality. If CGMHI determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for CGMHI to make, maintain or fund Advances, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Interest Rate, (i) CGMHI shall have no obligation to make Advances hereunder from and after the date of such determination, and (ii) CGMHI shall negotiate in good faith with the Client to restructure the Loan Obligation, this Agreement and the Control Agreement in a manner that avoids such consequence, and if such negotiations do not result in such a restructuring, CGMHI shall have the right to declare CGMHI’s obligation to make or allow to remain outstanding Advances to be terminated (and such obligation shall be terminated upon such declaration), and Client shall, upon demand from CGMHI, prepay the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other fees and other amounts payable hereunder constituting the Loan Obligation. To CGMHI’s actual knowledge, there is no law, rule, regulation, order or assertion by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over CGMHI that it is unlawful for CGMHI to make, maintain or fund Advances, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Interest Rate.

19.) Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If CGMHI shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of

the Advances or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Client. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by CGMHI exceeds the Maximum Rate, CGMHI may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Loan Obligation hereunder.

20.) Survival. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, (i) all representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Transaction Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and (ii) the provisions of Section 15 and the provisions of Section 5 relating to Section 15 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

21.) Notices. Notices delivered under this Agreement by CGMHI shall be delivered solely in writing to Client either by Federal Express or other confirmed delivery service at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Park, New Jersey 07407, Attention: General Counsel, or by facsimile to Client at (000) 000-0000, Attention: General Counsel. Notices delivered under this Agreement by Client shall be delivered solely in writing to CGMHI either by Federal Express or other confirmed delivery service at Citi Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Credit Department, or by facsimile to CGMHI at (000) 000-0000 Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Credit Department. Notices delivered hereunder shall be deemed delivered upon delivery service confirmation or automated facsimile confirmation. Either party may change its notice information set forth above by notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 21.

22.) Termination or Release.

	a.		This Agreement and the security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all of the Loan Obligation has been paid in full and CGMHI has no further commitment hereunder to make any Advances. Upon any sale or other transfer by the Client or CGMHI of Collateral that is expressly permitted hereunder, or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent by CGMHI to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section, CGMHI shall, upon request by Client, promptly execute and deliver to the Client, at the Client’s expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents (including terminating the Control Agreement) that the Client shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.

	b.		Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section, Client shall have the option (the “Option”), exercisable at any time on or prior to the Advance Termination Date by written notice to CGMHI (the “Option

			Notice”), to sell to CGMHI, and CGMHI shall upon receipt of the Option Notice, be required to purchase, all, but not less than all, of the Collateral at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the lesser of (x) 75% of the face amount of the Collateral and (y) the current Loan Maximum (as the Loan Maximum may have been reduced pursuant to Section 2(f)). The Purchase Price shall be paid in the following manner: first, by applying the Purchase Price to payment of the full amount of the then outstanding Loan Obligation, and then any remaining balance of the Purchase Price, in cash to Client. The Option Notice shall state the date (the “Exercise Date”) upon which the exercise of the Option is to be consummated, which shall not be prior to one Business Day after the date of delivery of the Option Notice to CGMHI nor after the Advance Termination Date. Client shall be entitled to exercise the Option only if (i) all interest accrued through the Exercise Date of the Option but unpaid (including the amount of any interest that has been added to principal as provided herein) has been paid in full as of the Exercise Date (ii) there exists no default described in Section 9(a)(iv), and (iii) all of the Collateral is free and clear of, and unencumbered by, any Lien (other than the Lien granted to CGMHI hereunder, Statutory Tax Liens and Xxxxx Barney’s rights in the Account). Upon such payment of the Purchase Price, title to and ownership of all of the Collateral shall automatically and without any further action required, transfer from Client to CGMHI, and this Agreement shall be terminated, provided, that in the event there does exist any other Lien on the Collateral, or in any applicable proceeding or for any reason the exercise of the Option is invalidated, unwound or reversed, this Agreement and the Loan Obligation shall be reinstated as if the Option had never been exercised and Client shall return to CGMHI any cash proceeds of the exercise of the Option.

	c.		At any time prior to the making of the first Advance hereunder, Client may by notice to CGMHI terminate this Agreement and all obligations of CGMHI to make Advances hereunder, upon which this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 22(a) above.

23.) Jurisdiction; Waivers.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other

			jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party agrees that process may be served on it in the manner provided for notices in Section 21.

	b.		Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

	c.		Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Client and CGMHI hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of CGMHI in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.
