(vii) Grantors will continue to use for the duration of this Security Agreement, proper statutory notice, where appropriate, in connection with its use of the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and other Intellectual Property to the extent that failure to do so would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

In the event that all or any portion of the eAGLE System is comprised of registered Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights owned by any Grantor, the applicable Grantor shall, promptly upon providing notice to the Senior Agent pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents (or, if the Discharge of the Senior Lien Obligations shall have occurred, promptly), notify Collateral Agent and (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) take all actions reasonably required to assure that Collateral Agent has a duly perfected security interest therein; provided, however, that prior to the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations, no Grantor shall be required to take any action that is not required by the Senior Agent or under the terms of the Senior Loan Documents.

Each Grantor agrees that, in the event any Grantor takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the Senior Agent or any holder of a Senior Lien Obligation in any property (other than Excluded Property) of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of such action and shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of the Collateral Agent to secure the Second Lien Obligations without request of the Collateral Agent, provided, however, that in no event shall this clause (g) have the effect of requiring any Grantor to (i) obtain Control Agreements with respect to any Deposit Accounts that are not required to be subject to a Control Agreement pursuant to Section 5(a)(iii) hereof, (ii) take actions with respect to Letters of Credit that are not required pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv) prior to the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, (iii) take actions with respect to Equipment subject to a certificate of title that are not required pursuant to Section 5(e) prior to the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, (iv) deliver possession of any Collateral to the Collateral Agent in respect of which possession is delivered to the Senior Agent or (v) unless otherwise expressly provided in this Security Agreement, take actions that are not necessary to perfect any such Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent.

All such obligations of each Grantor shall be and remain enforceable against and only against Grantors and shall not be enforceable against Collateral Agent or any Secured Party.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, from time to time in Collateral Agent’s discretion, but subject to Section 6(d), for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation the power to modify this Security Agreement by amending Schedule 4(g) to include any future Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights (including registrations or applications appurtenant thereto) covered by this Security Agreement.
(b) On the Issue Date each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent (i) a power of attorney (the “General Power of Attorney”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D and (ii) each Grantor that owns any Intellectual Property as of the Closing Date, shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent a special power of attorney (the “Special Power of Attorney”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (collectively, the “Power of Attorney”).
(c) The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, under the Power of Attorney are
solely to protect Collateral Agent’s interests (for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.
(d) Collateral Agent agrees that (i) except for the powers granted in clause (h) of the General Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney, Special Power of Attorney or clause (a) above unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) Collateral Agent shall (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) account for any moneys received by Collateral Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney, provided that neither Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any duty as to any Collateral except as provided herein with respect to Collateral in its possession or under its control, and Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers. NONE OF COLLATERAL AGENT, SECURED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO GRANTORS FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
7. REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, any Additional Pari Passu Agreement and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Second Lien Obligations (but subject to the terms of such instruments of agreements), if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) forthwith enter upon the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Collateral Agent’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk. Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on Grantors’ premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use Grantors’ premises without charge for such time or times as Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor further agrees, at Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Collateral Agent at a place or places designated by Collateral Agent which are reasonably convenient to Collateral Agent and Grantors, whether at Grantors’ premises or elsewhere. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, until Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to Grantors to maintain or preserve the rights of Grantors as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Collateral Agent. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale as set forth in Section 24, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to Grantors. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except to the extent that such arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent or such Secured Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Collateral Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Second Lien Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Collateral Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantors or to impose any duties on Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).
(d) Neither Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Second Lien Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. Neither Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Second Lien Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Security Document or Additional Pari Passu Agreement shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension,
redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.
8. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Solely for the purpose of enabling Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 7 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell, monitor, collect or otherwise dispose of Collateral), effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at such time as Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), the nonexclusive right and license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Grantors) to use all Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all material media in which any of the material licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all material computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and in any case to the extent that it is permitted to do so under applicable law and, with respect to Licenses, to the extent it is permitted to do so under contractual obligations.
9. LIMITATION ON COLLATERAL AGENT’S AND SECURED PARTIES’ DUTY IN RESPECT OF SECURITY AGREEMENT COLLATERAL. Collateral Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
10. REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment and performance of the Second Lien Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Second Lien Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Second Lien Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
11. NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Indenture. Any notice to an Additional Pari Passu Agent shall be given at its address set forth in the Additional Pari Passu Joinder Agreement or set forth in any subsequent notice from such Additional Pari Passu Agent to the parties hereto.
12. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Indenture, any Additional Pari Passu Agreement and the other Security Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties and Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.
13. NO WAIVER; AMENDMENTS, CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Collateral Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Collateral Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. Except for waivers, amendments, alterations and modifications effected by the operation of Section 5.3(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement, none of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Collateral Agent and Grantors.
14. LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
15. TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT; PARTIAL LIEN RELEASE. The Liens securing the Notes, will, automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person be released, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 8.03 of the Indenture and Section 5.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liens securing the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations of any series will be released, in whole or in part, as provided in the Additional Pari Passu Agreement governing such obligations. In connection with any such release, (i) any Collateral then in the custody of the Collateral Agent or its nominee shall be re-
delivered to the Issuer as soon as practicable and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by any Grantor to evidence such release at the expense of such Grantor.
16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Grantors (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of Grantors) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, hereunder, inure to the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Second Lien Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Second Lien Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, hereunder. No Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement. This Security Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by Collateral Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.
18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN GRANTORS, COLLATERAL AGENT AND SECURED PARTIES PERTAINING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, PROVIDED, THAT COLLATERAL AGENT, SECURED PARTIES AND GRANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE NEW YORK COUNTY, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT. EACH GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO GRANTORS AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE
SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.
19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG COLLATERAL AGENT, SECURED PARTIES, AND GRANTORS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO.
20. SECTION TITLES. The Section titles contained in this Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.
21. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.
22. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Section 18 and Section 19, with its counsel.
23. BENEFIT OF SECURED PARTIES. All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of Collateral Agent individually and Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and all proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) to the Second Lien Obligations in accordance with Section 24.
24. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement, pro rata to the Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts of Second Lien Obligations with such proceeds applied (i) as among the Holders, as set forth in the Indenture and (ii) as among the holders of the Permitted
Additional Pari Passu Obligations (other than the Additional Notes), as set forth in the applicable Additional Pari Passu Agreement. In making the determination and allocations required by this Section 24, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by (i) the Trustee as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Notes and (ii) the applicable Additional Pari Passu Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 24 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Trustee, or an Additional Pari Passu Agent of any amounts distributed to such Person. If, despite the provisions of this Security Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Second Lien Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Security Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with this Section 24.
25. PERMITTED ADDITIONAL PARI PASSU OBLIGATIONS. On or after the Issue Date, the Issuer may from time to time designate additional obligations as Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations by delivering to Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Additional Pari Passu Agent (a) a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Issuer (i) identifying the obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, stating that such obligations are designated as “Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations” for purposes hereof, (ii) representing that such designation complies with the terms of the Indenture and each then existing Additional Pari Passu Agreement, (iii) specifying the name and address of the Additional Pari Passu Agent for such obligations (if other than the Trustee) and (iv) stating that no Default or Event of Default exists; (b) except in the case of Additional Notes, a fully executed Additional Pari Passu Joinder Agreement (in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto), (c) an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the designation of such obligations as “Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations” does not violate the terms of the Indenture and each then existing Additional Pari Passu Agreement (upon which Collateral Agent may conclusively rely) and (d) evidence that the Additional Pari Passu Agent for the applicable series of Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations has entered into an agency agreement with Collateral Agent that is acceptable to Collateral Agent, acting in its sole discretion.
26. SUPPLEMENTS; JOINDER. In the event that any Grantor is required to deliver a supplement pursuant to Section 5(a)(vii), or any Person becomes required at any time to become a Grantor under this Security Agreement pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture, this Security Agreement, or the Intercreditor Agreement, the relevant Grantor or Person shall do so by delivering an appropriately completed Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (a “Supplement”) or in such other form as may be reasonably required to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Indenture, this Agreement, and the Intercreditor Agreement.
