ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION

Section 7.1 Termination; Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, without further order of, application to, or action by, the Bankruptcy Court and without limiting any other right or remedy, at the direction of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may by written notice to the Borrower and the Committee in accordance with Section 10.2 (a) declare that all or any portion of the Term Loan Commitment be terminated, whereupon the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans shall immediately terminate, and (b) declare the Loans, the PIK Interest Notes, all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, the PIK Interest Notes, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

Section 7.2 Standstill Period: Exercise of Remedies. Thirty days (the “Standstill Period”) following the Administrative Agent’s written notice of termination and acceleration given pursuant to Section 7.1, the automatic stay provided in section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed automatically vacated without further action or order of the Bankruptcy Court and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral and the Guarantors; provided however that upon the occurrence of the Maturity Date, the Standstill Period shall be five Business Days. The Lenders shall not be required to make any Loans to Borrower under this Agreement during the Standstill Period and Borrower shall not use the cash collateral (as that term is defined in Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code) of Lenders during the Standstill Period, except for the Wind-Down Fund, as to which the Lenders’ Liens and super-priority claims are subordinated, provided however that the use of the Wind-Down Funds during the Standstill Period for any purpose will result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Subordination Cap for any such funds so used. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to seek an order of the Bankruptcy Court on as little as one Business Day’s notice to the Borrower and the Committee, terminating the Standstill Period if the Required Lenders believe in good faith that the Collateral and/or its value are in jeopardy.

Section 7.3 Commitment Fee. In consideration for Lenders’ agreement to give the Term Loan Commitment, except as provided in Section 7.4, the Lenders shall be entitled to receive as a commitment fee (such amount, the “Commitment Fee”): (1) upon the Effective Date of a Plan of Reorganization or the first date distributions are made to unsecured creditors, if made other than under Plan of Reorganization $250,000 (or under circumstances in Section 7.4 hereof, $125,000 at the time provided for in such Section 7.4) in cash or, if of greater value, (2) a portion of the consideration otherwise to be distributed to the general unsecured creditors of the Borrower and Guarantors under a Plan of Reorganization or otherwise, determined as follows: (a) to the extent the value of such distributions does not exceed $55,000,000, the Lenders shall not be entitled to any of such consideration; (b) to the extent the value of such distributions exceeds $55,000,000, the Lenders shall be entitled to receive 10% of such distributions in excess of $55,000,000 but not in excess of $155,000,000; and (c) to the extent the value of such distributions exceeds $155,000,000, the Lenders shall also be entitled to receive 5% of such

distributions in excess of $155,000,000. In the event the Lenders are entitled to receive a portion of the distributions to be made to general unsecured creditors under a Plan of Reorganization or otherwise, as contemplated in clause (2) of this Section 7.3, the distributions to the Lenders shall be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, contemporaneously with the distributions to general unsecured creditors and subject to any terms and conditions set forth in the Plan of Reorganization regarding the making of such distributions. To the extent the consideration to be distributed to the general unsecured creditors of the Borrowers and Guarantors consists of different forms of consideration and the Lenders are to receive a portion thereof pursuant to clause (2) of this Section 7.3, the Lenders shall receive the different forms of consideration in the same proportions as the general unsecured creditors. The fees, costs and expenses incurred by the lead and local counsel for the Lenders in connection with negotiating, documenting and obtaining approval of this Agreement and all related documents as permitted in Section 10.4 up to a maximum amount of $100,000 (the “Documentation Fee”) shall be due and payable upon entry of an Interim Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving this Agreement and the financing provided herein and shall be deducted from the first draw made by Borrower under this Agreement. The cap on the amount of the Documentation Fee shall not otherwise affect the Lenders’ right to payment of their other fees, costs and expenses payable under Section 10.4 or the amount thereof. For purposes of this Section 7.3, any non-cash consideration to be distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization shall be deemed to have the value set forth for such consideration in the disclosure statement relating to such Plan of Reorganization. If the Required Lenders dispute the valuation, they shall have the right to object to such valuation in conjunction with a determination of the adequacy of the disclosure statement and the value of such non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, so long as the rights of Lenders to a final determination of valuation are preserved, in recognition that such a valuation determination may take considerable time of the Bankruptcy Court, the Lenders shall not object to the approval and dissemination to creditors of Borrower and Guarantors of a disclosure statement that appropriately discloses the existence of the valuation dispute. If the distributions to unsecured creditors are made other than pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization, then, absent an agreement of the Borrowers or any Chapter 7 Trustee and the Required Lenders as to the value of the non-cash consideration, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the value of any non-cash consideration. In the event a Final Order resolving the dispute over value is not entered by the time non-cash consideration is to be distributed to creditors (whether pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization or otherwise), the full amount of non-cash consideration asserted by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) to be payable shall be reserved and segregated at that time and held for the benefit of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Committee whether the Required Lenders will contest the value of any non-cash consideration within 5 business days after receiving written notice of the value placed thereon by the Borrower. The terms of this Section 7.3 shall survive any payment of this Loan, including any prepayment. Except as provided in Section 7.4, the Commitment Fee is payable regardless of any prepayment or payment in full of the Loans.

Section 7.4 Other Termination. In the event the Term Loan Draw Conditions have not been met or otherwise waived with respect to any Interim Loans on or before February 25, 2003 and with respect to any other Loans on or before March 7, 2003, either the Lenders or the Borrower may, by written notice to each other and the Committee, terminate this Agreement. Upon such termination, neither the Lenders nor any Credit Party shall have any

further obligation hereunder, or under any other Loan Document; provided that, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Agreement is terminated as a result of the failure to satisfy the Term Loan Draw Conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay all outstanding Obligations plus a Commitment Fee of $125,000 in cash which shall be paid to the Administrative Agent from the Wind-Down Funds within one Business Day of termination.

ARTICLE VIII

GUARANTY

Section 8.1 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the proceeds of the Loans, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Lenders that such Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment and performance by the Borrower when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders. If any or all of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders become due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Lenders, or order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Lenders in collecting any of the Obligations.

Section 8.3 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other, guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Guarantor.

Section 8.4 Authorization. Each Guarantor authorizes the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner or place of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, accelerate or alter, any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, or subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to its creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Guarantor or the Borrower remain unpaid; and/or

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements.

Section 8.5 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Lenders to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf; and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Section 8.6 Subordination. Any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Obligations of the Borrower; provided, however, that payment may be made by the Borrower on any such Indebtedness owing to such Guarantor so long as the same is not prohibited by this Agreement; and provided further, that if the Lenders so request at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Lenders and be paid over to the Lenders on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of

any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

Section 8.7 Waiver. Subject to Section 9.9, the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period and the giving of notice as required by the Interim Financing Order or the Final Financing Order:

Each Guarantor waives (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations. The Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Lenders by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Lenders may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not have any

obligation or liability under any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or the granting to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) of a security interest therein or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any payment relating to any Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Lenders be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(b) Subject to Section 9.5, the Administrative Agent authorizes each Grantor to collect its Accounts, provided that such collection is performed in accordance with such Grantor’s customary procedures, and the Administrative Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default and without notice limit or terminate said authority at any time.

(b) Notices. Such Grantor will advise the Administrative Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien asserted against any of the Collateral other than Permitted Liens, and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event which would result in a material adverse change with respect to the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created hereunder.


	(i) Upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will deliver to the Administrative Agent, all certificates representing or evidencing any Pledged Collateral, whether now arising or hereafter acquired, in suitable form for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, accompanied by such Grantor’s endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to the Grantor, to transfer to or to register in its name or in the name of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing any of the Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional security for the Obligations.

	(iii) Except as provided in Section 9.7, such Grantor will be entitled to exercise all voting, consent and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral; provided that no vote shall be cast, consent given or right exercised or other action taken by such Grantor which would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or, without prior notice to the Administrative Agent, to enable or take any other action to permit any issuer of Pledged Collateral to issue any stock or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or


	exchange for any stock or other equity securities of any nature of any issuer of Pledged Collateral.

	(iv) In the case of each Grantor which is an issuer of Pledged Collateral, such Grantor, agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Collateral issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it. In the case of each Grantor which is a partner in a Partnership, such Grantor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable Partnership agreement to the pledge by each other Grantor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged Partnership Interests in such Partnership pursuant to the terms hereof and to the transfer of such Pledged Partnership Interests to the Administrative Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its nominee as a substituted partner in such Partnership, subject to the terms hereof, with all the rights, powers and duties of a general partner or a limited partner, as the case may be. In the case of each Grantor which is a member of a limited liability company, such Grantor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable limited liability company agreement to the pledge by each other Grantor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged LLC Interests in such limited liability company and to the transfer of such Pledged LLC Interests to the Administrative Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its nominee as a substituted member of the limited liability company pursuant to the terms hereof with all the rights, powers and duties of a member of the limited liability company in question.

	(v) Such Grantor will not agree to any amendment of a constituent document that in any way adversely affects the perfection of the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests pledged by such Grantor hereunder, including electing to treat the membership interest or partnership interest of such Grantor as a security under section 8-103 of the UCC.

(d) Intellectual Property.


	(i) Such Grantor will (i) continue to use each Trademark that is material Intellectual Property in order to maintain such Trademark in full force and effect with respect to each class of goods for which such Trademark is currently used in the ordinary course of business, free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, (ii) maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark in the ordinary course of business, (iii) use such Trademark in the ordinary course of business with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, (iv) not adopt or use any xxxx in the ordinary course of business which is confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the Administrative Agent shall obtain a perfected security interest in such xxxx pursuant to this Agreement and (v) not do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or impaired in any way in the ordinary course of business.

	(ii) Such Grantor will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent which is material Intellectual Property may become forfeited,


	abandoned or dedicated to the public unless such act or omission would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

	(iii) Such Grantor (i) will not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or omit to do any act whereby any portion of the Copyrights which is material Intellectual Property may become invalidated or otherwise impaired and (ii) will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any portion of the Copyrights which is material Intellectual Property may fall into the public domain unless such act or omission would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

	(v) Such Grantor will not do any act that knowingly uses any material Intellectual Property to infringe the intellectual property rights of any other Person unless such act or omission would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

	(vi) Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent immediately if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration relating to any material Intellectual Property may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of; right to use, interest in, or the validity of; any material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same, unless such event would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

	(vii) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any material Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency within or outside the United States, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs.

	(viii) Such Grantor will take all reasonable actions necessary or requested by the Administrative Agent, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of any Copyright, Trademark or Patent that is material Intellectual Property, including filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings.

(ix) In the event that any material Intellectual Property is infringed upon or misappropriated or diluted by a third party and such event would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, such Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly after such Grantor learns thereof. Such Grantor shall take appropriate action in response to such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, including promptly bringing suit for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other actions may be appropriate in its reasonable judgment under the circumstances to protect such material Intellectual Property.

Section 9.5 Performance by Administrative Agent of the Grantors’ Obligations. Subject to Section 9.9, the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period and the giving of notice as required by the Financing Order, if any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Administrative Agent, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of the Loan, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. Performance of such Grantor’s obligations as permitted under this Section 9.5 shall in no way constitute a violation of the automatic stay provided by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and each Grantor hereby waives applicability thereof.

Section 9.6 Limitation on Administrative Agent’s Duty in Respect of Collateral.

Upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall account for any moneys received by it in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral of any Grantor.

Section 9.7 Remedies, Rights Upon Event of Default. Subject to Section 9.9, the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period and the giving of notice as required by the Interim Financing Order or the Final Financing Order:

(a) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document, 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 the Administrative 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 such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, 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 public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere at such prices at it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales to purchase 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 to the extent permitted by applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale (net of all expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses), to the Obligations in any order deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, such Grantor remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent need not give more than ten (10) days’ notice to the Borrower (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed or delivered on an overnight basis, postage prepaid, addressed to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2) of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Administrative Agent and its agents shall have the right to enter upon any real property owned or leased by any Grantor to exercise any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and any such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was adjourned. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and all other amounts to which the Administrative Agent is entitled, the Grantors also being liable for the fees and expenses of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency.

(b) 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 Agreement or any Collateral.


	(i) During the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral


	and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth herein, and (ii) the Administrative Agent or their nominee may exercise (A) all voting, consent, corporate and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any issuer of Pledged Collateral, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

	(ii) In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which they may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations.

	(iii) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent agrees that it will forbear from exercising the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.8, except upon the occurrence or during the continuation of an Event of Default. The Grantors hereby ratify, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof, The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 9.8 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Each Grantor also authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default or as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, (i) to communicate in its own name or the name of its Subsidiaries with any party to any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Grantor in and under the Contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (ii) to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

ARTICLE XI

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and in its stead under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 11.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 11.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Credit Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

Section 11.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel. Except as provided in Section 11.5, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such required consent of the Lenders under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with an appropriate request or consent of the Lenders except if it shall fail to exercise rights demanded after and during the continuation of an Event of Default after receipt of the demand described in Section 11.5.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.1(b), each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

Section 11.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, except with respect to any Event of Default arising from defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and if the Required Lenders demand it in writing, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, and as soon as legally permitted, enforce the Lenders’ rights to immediately collect the Loans and interest and other sums due the Lenders, and enforce all of their rights against the Collateral, the Guarantors or any other Persons. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, in the event the Administrative Agent fails to take such action after such demand, any of the Lenders may take such action on behalf of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent or the Lender enforcing such rights shall have all the powers given to such Lender in the Credit Agreement or provided by law or equity to enforce such rights.

Section 11.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Credit Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

Section 11.7 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Loans, Blue River Capital LLC shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the

Administrative Agent and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Blue River Capital LLC in its individual capacity.

Section 11.8 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 11.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, upon written approval of the Required Lenders:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document;

(d) to collect, receive, appropriate or realize any Collateral upon an Event of Default; and

(e) upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section.

Section 11.10 Payments to Lenders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each payment to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made to Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, and Administrative Agent shall disburse such payments to the Lenders not more than 24 hours after its receipt thereof.

Section 11.11 Notices. Notwithstanding any provision of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, each Notice required to be given to any Lender shall be given instead to the Administrative Agent on behalf of each Lender.

Section 11.12 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Term Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and cooperate to make the necessary payments so that each Lender shall have received its Pro Rata Share of payments on the Obligation and the Obligation of Borrower to each Lender shall be adjusted as necessary.
