In connection with such collections, the Borrower may take (and, at the Agent’s direction following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall take) such action as the Borrower or the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Accounts and such other Collateral; provided, however, that the Agent shall have the right at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without giving notice to the Borrower of the Agent’s intention to do so, to notify the account debtors under any Accounts or obligors with respect to such other Collateral of the assignment of such Accounts and such other Collateral to the Agent and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder directly to the Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, to enforce collection of any such Accounts or other Collateral, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof in the same manner and to the same extent as the Borrower might have done,

but unless and until the Agent does so or gives the Borrower other instructions the Borrower shall make all collections for the Agent. In addition to its rights under the preceding sentence to this Section, the Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, may require that the Borrower instruct all current and future account debtors and obligors on other Collateral to make all payments directly to a special bank account (the “Collateral Account”) maintained at the Agent for the benefit of the Agent and subject to withdrawal by the Agent only. After the Agent’s exercise of its rights to direct account debtors or other obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to the Agent, the Borrower shall immediately deliver all full and partial payments on any Collateral received by the Borrower to the Agent in their original form, except for endorsements where necessary. Until such payments are so delivered to the Agent, such payments shall be held in trust by the Borrower for and as the Agent’s property, and shall not be commingled with any funds of the Borrower. After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall apply all collections on Collateral in accordance with Section 7.7.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may itself adjust and collect for any losses arising out of a single occurrence of up to $500,000.00 and up to an aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 for all occurrences during any of the Borrower’s fiscal years; provided that the Borrower uses the resulting Insurance Proceeds to replace, restore or repair the damaged Collateral. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or after the losses exceed the amount described in the preceding sentence, the Agent may (but need not) in its own name or in the Borrower’s name execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive such monies, and settle or litigate any claim against the issuer of any such policy and the Borrower directs the issuer to pay any such monies directly to the Agent and the Agent, at its sole discretion and regardless of whether the Agent exercises its right to collect Insurance Proceeds under this Section, shall promptly elect to apply any Insurance Proceeds to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 7.6, whether due or not, or to permit the Borrower to use such Insurance Proceeds for the replacement, restoration or repair of the Collateral and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of such election.

Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

7.5 Access to Property. Enter upon and into and take possession of all or such part or parts of the properties of the Borrower, including lands, plants, buildings, machinery, equipment, Data Processing Records and Systems and other property as may be necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Agent, to permit or enable the Agent to store, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of or collect all or any part of the Collateral, and use and operate said

properties for such purposes and for such length of time as the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate for said purposes without the payment of any compensation to the Borrower therefor. The Borrower shall provide the Agent with all information and assistance requested by the Agent to facilitate the storage, leasing, sale or other disposition or collection of the Collateral after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

7.6 Other Rights. Exercise any and all other rights and remedies available to it by law, in equity, or by agreement, including rights and remedies under the UCC as adopted in the relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law, or under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document and, in connection therewith, the Agent may require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place to be designated by the Agent, and any notice of intended disposition of any of the Collateral required by law shall be deemed reasonable if such notice is mailed or delivered to the Borrower at its address as shown on the Agent’s records at least 10 days before the date of such disposition.

7.7 Application of Proceeds. (a) All Proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent or any other Secured Party shall be promptly applied in the following order:

FIRST, to each Secured Party in an amount equal to such Secured Party’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, the delivery of the Collateral, the collection of any such Proceeds or the collection of the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses regardless of whether suit is commenced) to the extent that the Borrower is obligated to reimburse such Secured Party therefor;

SECOND, to the extent of any amount remaining after application in accordance with clause FIRST above, to the Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties for application to the Secured Obligations then due and payable or, if such amount shall be insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to each Secured Party in proportion to its Pro Rata Share; and

THIRD, to the extent of any amount remaining after application in accordance with clauses FIRST and SECOND above, to the Borrower or its successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(b) When payments to the Secured Parties are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by each Secured Party shall be promptly applied as follows (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 7.7 only):

(i) if the recipient Secured Party is a Bank, then in accordance with Section 8.10 of the Credit Agreement; or

(ii) if the recipient Secured Party is a Rate Protection Provider, then: (A) first, to the unpaid interest and fees constituting part of such Secured Party’s Secured Obligations; (B) second, to the unpaid principal amount of such Secured Party’s Secured Obligations; and (C) third, to all other Secured Obligations owed to such Secured Party.

If any payment to any Secured Party of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Secured Obligations of the other Secured Parties entitled to such distribution, with each such other Secured Party to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by such Secured Party’s Pro Rata Share adjusted to exclude the distributing Secured Party from the calculation of Pro Rata Share.

(c) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 7.7, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon each Secured Party for a determination of the outstanding principal, interest and other Secured Obligations owed to such Secured Party.

(d) In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the application of Proceeds set forth in this Section 7.7. and in the application of payments set forth in Section 8.10 of the Credit Agreement, Section 8.10 of the Credit Agreement shall control.

ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 No Liability on Collateral. It is understood that neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party assumes, in any way, any of the Borrower’s obligations under any of the Collateral. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent and each other Secured Party against all liability arising in connection with or on account of any of the Collateral in accordance with Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement.

8.2 No Waiver. The Secured Parties shall not be deemed to have waived any of their rights hereunder or under any other agreement, instrument or paper signed by the Borrower unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Agent and the Banks required by Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement to take the relevant action. No delay or omission on the part of the

Secured Parties in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

8.3 Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of the Secured Parties shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently, at their option, and the exercise or enforcement of any one such right or remedy shall not bar or be a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any other.

8.4 Governing Law/Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Minnesota, except to the extent that the perfection of the Lien hereunder, or the enforcement of any remedies hereunder, with respect to any particular Collateral shall be governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Minnesota, without, in any case, giving effect to conflict of laws principles but giving effect to the federal laws of the United States affecting national banks. AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OR MINNESOTA STATE COURT SITTING IN MINNEAPOLIS, OR ST. XXXX, MINNESOTA; AND THE BORROWER CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS NOT CONVENIENT. IN THE EVENT THE BORROWER COMMENCES ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE AGENT, AT ITS OPTION, SHALL BE ENTITLED TO HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES ABOVE-DESCRIBED, OR IF SUCH TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO HAVE SUCH CASE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

8.5 Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by each Secured Party in the exercise of any right or remedy available to it under this Agreement, whether or not suit is commenced, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred in connection with any appeal of a lower court’s order or judgment.

8.7 Recitals. The above Recitals are true and correct as of the date hereof and constitute a part of this Agreement.

8.8 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such 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 Agreement.

8.9 No Obligation to Pursue Others. The Agent has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Secured Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and the Agent may release, modify or waive any Collateral provided by any other person to secure any of the Secured Obligations, all without affecting the Agent’s rights against the Borrower. The Borrower waives any right it may have to require the Agent to pursue any third person for any of the Secured Obligations.

8.10 Incorporation of Provisions Regarding Agent. The provisions set forth in Article VIII of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

8.11 Termination. This Agreement will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the indefeasible payment and performance of all Secured Obligations and the termination of any commitment on the part of the Banks to extend further credit to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, provided that, the performance of unasserted indemnification obligations under the Loan Documents will not be required as a condition to termination of this Agreement. Upon such termination, the Agent will reassign and redeliver (or cause to be reassigned and redelivered) to the Borrower, or to such person as the Borrower designates, against receipt, such of the Collateral delivered to the Agent as have not been sold or otherwise applied by the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and still held by it, together with appropriate instruments of authorization to the Borrower concerning termination, reassignment and release of liens in favor of the Agent as the Borrower may reasonably request.
