(c) No Duty on Holder’s Part. The powers conferred on the Holder hereunder are solely to protect the Holder’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Holder to exercise any such powers.

8. Remedies in General. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Holder may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Holder, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or expressly provided for) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Holder or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Holder 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 the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived, to the extent permitted by applicable law, or released.
| 13 |
The Grantor further agrees that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Holder’s request, the Grantor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Holder at places which the Holder shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Holder shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Holder may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Holder of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Holder account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Holder arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder, provided, that nothing contained in this Section 8 shall relieve the Holder from liability arising solely from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or other disposition. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Holder to collect such deficiency.
9. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Holder’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Holder deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Holder nor any of its directors, officers, members, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or otherwise.
10. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest until the Grantor has paid and performed in full all of its Obligations under the Transaction Documents.
11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Holder shall not by any act, delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Holder, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

(b) Upon any such termination of the Security Interest, the Holder shall, at the expense of the Grantor, execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents and take such other actions as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interest and deliver to the Grantor all Collateral so released then in its possession.
16. Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery to the party to be notified or five days after deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid to the party to be notified at such party’s address indicated in this Section 16 or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other parties. Notices in writing shall also be deemed effectively given upon delivery by an overnight courier, or upon transmission by facsimile, except that the time at which the notice is given will be the time at which confirmation of receipt is generated by the receiving facsimile machine.

17. Fees and Expenses.

Notwithstanding the above, Holder shall coordinate the work done by it, its attorneys and other agents with respect to the matters contemplated by this Section 17 as much as reasonably possible with similar work being done by the Senior Lenders, to avoid duplication of expenses.
18. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Grantor and of the Holder contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder or the Grantor or any Person who controls the Holder or the Grantor. All representatives, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Grantor herein shall terminate upon release of all of the Collateral pursuant to Section 15; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing (a) the provisions of Section 5(i) shall survive such release of all the Collateral and (b) if following the release of the Collateral pursuant hereto, the Holder is required or ordered to return, forfeit or repay any payment received in connection with the Obligations at any time within two years following such release of all of the Collateral pursuant hereto, then all of such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements of the Grantor contained in this Agreement shall be revived and the Holder shall be entitled to assert all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise as if such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall not have terminated.
19. Grantor’s Obligations Absolute, Etc. The Obligations of the Grantor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition or supplement to or deletion from any of the Transaction Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such Transaction Document or other agreement or instrument; (c) any furnishing of any additional security to the Holder or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Holder or its assignees;
(d) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligations under any such Transaction Document or other agreement or instrument or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such Transaction Document or other agreement or instrument or any term thereof; or (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to the Grantor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the Grantor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
20. Integration. This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the Grantor and the Holder with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the parties relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein.
21. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Grantor under this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, except to the extent that under the New York Uniform Commercial Code the laws of another jurisdiction govern matters of perfection and the effect of perfection or non-perfection of any security interest granted hereunder.
22. Counterparts; Execution.
