“22. APPOINTMENT OF COLLATERAL AGENT; ACTIONS BY PURCHASERS.
22.1 Appointment of Collateral Agent.
Clearlake is hereby appointed to act on behalf of the Secured Parties as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and notwithstanding the use of the term “agent” or “Agent” in any capacity, the Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except to act in accordance with the instructions of the Required Holders, and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any individual Tranche B Purchaser. Furthermore, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and the Collateral Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or otherwise, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any individual Tranche B Purchaser. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Account Debtor that is communicated to or obtained by the Collateral Agent or any of the Collateral Agent’s Affiliates in any capacity. Any other appointment or collateral agency agreement between the Collateral Agent and any Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, if any, is hereby terminated and shall be superseded by this Section. The provisions of this Section 22.1 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Purchasers and no Credit Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof.
The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document until
18
the Collateral Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Holders, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Financing Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, (b) if such action would, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, expose the Collateral Agent to environmental or other liabilities or (c) if the Collateral Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Purchaser shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent’s acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Financing Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Holders.
22.2 Agent’s Reliance, Etc.
Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable (i) to any Tranche B Purchaser for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Financing Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except, solely with respect to a Required Collateral Transition, for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) to any Tranche A Purchaser for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Financing Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent: (a) may treat any instructions of the Required Holders as if delivered unanimously by all the Purchasers; (b) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Collateral Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; (c) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (d) makes no warranty or representation to any Purchaser and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Documents; (e) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents on the part of any Credit Party or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Credit Party; (f) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (g) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
19
22.3 Clearlake and Affiliates.
With respect to any Notes or other Obligations held by Clearlake and/or its Affiliates, Clearlake shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents with respect thereto as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent. Clearlake and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Credit Party or any such Affiliate, all as if Clearlake were not the Collateral Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Purchasers. Clearlake and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Purchasers. The Tranche B Purchasers specifically acknowledge that the Tranche A Purchasers as of the Third Amendment Effective Date are Affiliates of Clearlake and the interests of Clearlake and its Affiliates as Tranche A Purchasers may be different from and directly adverse to the interests of the Tranche B Purchasers and the Tranche B Purchasers hereby acknowledge, and expressly consent to, and waive any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.
22.4 Purchaser Credit Decision.
Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Credit Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Purchaser as a result of Purchasers holding disproportionate amounts of the Notes, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.
22.5 Indemnification.
Purchasers agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent on a pro rata basis according to the respective amounts of their Notes, to the extent the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith; provided, that no Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (unless such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements relate to the Tranche B Obligations (other than in respect of a Required Collateral Transition), in which event, each Tranche B Purchaser shall remain liable). Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser agrees
20
to reimburse the Collateral Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share (as determined pursuant to the first sentence of this Section) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Financing Document, to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Credit Parties.
22.6 Successor Agents.
(a) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Purchasers and Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Holders, pursuant to the immediately proceeding sentence and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Collateral Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Collateral Agent may, on behalf of Purchasers, appoint a successor Collateral Agent which shall be a Purchaser, if a Purchaser is willing to accept such appointment. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within thirty (30) days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, such resignation shall become effective and, the Required Holders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Financing Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Holders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Collateral Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent or the effective date of the resigning Collateral Agent’s resignation, the resigning Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Collateral Agent shall continue. After any resigning Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 22.6 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent.
(b) Upon written confirmation by the Required Holders of Full Payment of the Tranche A Obligations, the Collateral Agent may and shall resign immediately, effective as of such date, as agent for itself and the Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and the Tranche B Purchasers shall appoint a successor agent, effective as of such date (the “Required Collateral Transition”). The Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Tranche A Purchasers, agrees that it will execute, or will cause to be executed, any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including delivery of any possessory Collateral held by the Collateral Agent), which the Tranche B Purchasers may reasonably request to effectuate such Required Collateral Transition.
21
(c) The Required Holders may, upon delivery of written notice to the Collateral Agent, terminate any agency by the Collateral Agent which includes the Tranche B Purchasers and, thereafter, each reference to the Secured Parties shall mean the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers exclusively; provided that, no Tranche A Purchaser shall deliver or consent to delivery of such a written notice unless it has been advised by counsel that failure to do so may result in the subordination or release of the Lien of the Collateral Agent (a “Separation Event”); provided, further, that in connection with any such Separation Event, the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers shall consent to separate Liens on the Collateral in favor of the Tranche B Purchasers (or any agent thereof) so long as such Liens are subject to the Debt Subordination Agreement and do not result in the subordination or release of the Lien of the Collateral Agent.
22.7 Setoff and Sharing of Payments.
In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to Section 9.8, each Purchaser is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without prior notice to any Credit Party or to any Person other than the Collateral Agent, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to offset and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of the Company or any Guarantor (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Company or any Guarantor) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Purchaser or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of the Company or any Guarantor against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due; provided that (i) the Purchaser exercising such offset rights shall give notice thereof to the affected Credit Party promptly after exercising such rights and (ii) unless and until Full Payment of the Tranche A Obligations or upon the explicit written authorization of the Collateral Agent, such Tranche B Purchaser shall turn over the amount of such offset in cash to the Tranche A Purchasers for payment of the Tranche A Obligations.
22.8 Information; Actions in Concert.
(a) Dissemination of Information. The Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Tranche A Purchasers with any notice of Default or Event of Default received by the Collateral Agent from, or delivered by the Collateral Agent to, any Credit Party; provided, that no Agent shall be liable to any Purchaser for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Purchaser hereby agrees with each other Purchaser that no Purchaser shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Notes (including exercising any rights of setoff), in each case against the Company or any Credit Party or any Collateral, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the Required Holders, it being the intent of
22
Purchasers that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Collateral Agent or Required Holders.
22.9 No Duty of Care or Responsibility to Tranche B Purchasers.
Each Tranche B Purchaser understands and acknowledges that to the fullest extent provided in this Agreement and the Debt Subordination Agreement, the Tranche B Obligations will not be repaid unless and until Full Payment is first made of the Tranche A Obligations and that the guarantees and Liens on the Collateral granted by any Credit Party to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Financing Documents, for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be enforced in accordance with the sole direction of the majority of the Tranche A Purchasers (as the Required Holders) until a Required Collateral Transition. Each Tranche B Purchaser further understands that, except in the limited circumstances provided in Section 18, the Required Holders have the exclusive right to amend and waive the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents without consulting, or obtaining the approval or consent of, the Tranche B Purchasers or the Collateral Agent. The Tranche B Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers may take or refrain from taking any and all actions under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents in any manner consistent with the sole interest of the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers and, in any event, shall have no fiduciary or other duty to the Tranche B Purchasers or any other duty to take any action to optimize or maximize the Tranche B Purchasers’ recovery with respect to the Tranche B Obligations. Except in the event of a Required Collateral Transition, no Tranche B Purchasers shall have any right whatsoever to cause the Collateral Agent or the Tranche A Purchasers to take, or to refrain from taking any action under this Agreement or other Financing Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to Section 18, each Tranche B Purchaser acknowledges that the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers, in their respective capacities as such, shall have no obligation or liability to such Tranche B Purchaser, express or implied, for any (i) loss of, release of, subordination of, depreciation of, or failure to realize upon the Collateral, the Liens thereon securing the Tranche B Obligations, or any claims any Purchaser may have under any Guaranty (the “Guaranty Claims”); (ii) failure to collect or receive payment of the Tranche B Obligations or other sums owing from the Company or any Guarantor; (iii) mistake, omission or error of judgment in (a) passing upon, making or accepting the Notes, this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral (including, without limitation, the value, genuineness, enforceability or existence of any of the Collateral), (b) making any advances of monies or extensions of credit to or for the benefit of the Company under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, (c) making or failing to make any examinations, appraisals, audits, reviews or check-ups of the Company’s affairs or the Collateral, or (d) granting amendments, extensions, renewals or indulgences to either Company or any Guarantor, at any time or times hereafter; or (iv) violation of any law or legal standard in connection with the exercise of its remedies as a secured party with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, disposing of Collateral in a manner which is deemed not be commercially reasonable or failing to provide commercially reasonable notice to the Company, any Guarantor or any junior secured
23
party. Neither the foregoing nor anything else herein or in any other Financing Document shall eliminate or limit the Collateral Agent’s obligation under Section 22.6(b).
22.10 Waivers and Release of Rights under this Agreement and Financing Documents.
(a) As a condition to the acceptance by Clearlake of its appointment as Collateral Agent under Section 22.1, except with respect to the Required Collateral Transition, the Tranche B Purchasers on behalf of themselves and any and all of their respective predecessors, successors, heirs, assigns, representatives, agents, liability insurers, officers, directors, principals, members, parents, partners, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, employees, in-house and outside attorneys, other professionals, all solely in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Tranche B Parties”), each hereby remise, release, discharge, hold harmless and covenant not to xxx the Collateral Agent or any and all of its predecessors, successors, heirs, assigns, representatives, agents, liability insurers, officers, directors, principals, members, parents, partners, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, employees, in-house and outside attorneys, other professionals, and any and all of their respective predecessors, successors, heirs, assigns, all solely in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Clearlake Parties”) from any and all claims, causes of action, disputes, agreements, covenants, demands, obligations, controversies, suits, cross-claims, torts, costs, losses, attorneys’ fees, damages, liabilities and expenses, at law or in equity, whether presently known or unknown, whether matured, unmatured, whether fixed or contingent, whether in tort, in contract, whether asserted or unasserted, whether anticipated or unanticipated, whether suspected or claimed, direct or indirect and whether accrued or not, and whether damages have resulted from such or not, of any kind, nature or description, or otherwise, which any of the Tranche B Parties has, or hereafter may have, against any of the Clearlake Parties based on any matter, cause, thing, act or omission relating to or arising in connection with the role of Clearlake as Collateral Agent.

22.11 Bankruptcy Issues.
(a) Each Purchaser agrees that the Collateral Agent or the Required Holders may consent to the use of cash collateral or provide financing to the Company or any Credit Party (under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as the Collateral Agent or the Required Holders, in their sole discretion, may decide and that, in connection with such cash collateral usage or financing, the Company or Credit Party (or a trustee appointed for the estate of such Person) may grant to the Collateral Agent or the Tranche A Purchasers Liens upon all assets of the Company or such Credit Party, which Liens shall secure payment of all Loans and other Obligations of the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers (whether such Obligations arose prior to the filing or other commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding or arise thereafter). Each Tranche B Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Tranche A Obligations shall be deemed to include obligations owing to the Collateral Agent or the Tranche A Purchasers in connection with any such
25
financing provided after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding (whether through use of cash collateral, under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise and whether through this Agreement or though other post-petition agreements (all of which shall be considered part of the Financing Documents)) as though such financing was made as a Tranche A Note under this Agreement and all allocations of payments among the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers on the one hand and such Tranche B Purchasers on the other shall continue to be made after the filing or other commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding on the same basis that the payments were to be allocated prior to the date of such filing or commencement. Each Tranche B Purchaser agrees that it will not object to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any assets securing the Obligations (or any portion thereof) free and clear of security interests, liens or other claims of or for the benefit of such Tranche B Purchaser, if any, under Sections 363 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Required Holders have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets. To the extent that the Collateral Agent or any Tranche A Purchaser receives payments on, or proceeds of Collateral for, the Obligations held by the Collateral Agent or the Tranche A Purchasers which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law, or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations held by the Collateral Agent or Tranche A Purchasers, or part thereof, intended to be satisfied shall be revived and shall continue in full force and effect as if such payments or proceeds had not been received by the Collateral Agent or Tranche A Purchaser, as the case may be.
(b) In the event of the occurrence of any Insolvency Proceeding prior to Full Payment of the Tranche A Obligations, and in order to enable the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers to enforce their rights and remedies hereunder in any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings, each Tranche B Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers have the sole right, and are hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered, in their discretion, to file, make and present for and on behalf of such Tranche B Purchasers such proofs of claims against the Company and each Credit Party, as applicable, on account of the Tranche B Purchasers or other motions or pleadings as the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers may deem expedient or proper and (ii) if, and only if, a proposed plan of reorganization fails to provide for the Full Payment of the Tranche A Obligations on the effective date of such confirmed plan of reorganization, the Required Holders may vote such proofs of claims in any such proceeding and to receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments, distributions or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply the same on account of any portion of the Obligations held by the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers. In voting such proofs of claim in any proceeding, the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers may act in a manner consistent with the sole interest of the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Purchasers and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Tranche A Purchasers shall have any duty to take any action to optimize or maximize the Tranche B Purchasers’ recovery with respect to the Tranche B Obligations. Each Tranche B Purchaser will execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments or
26
documents, including notes and stock certificates (together with such assignments or endorsements as the Collateral Agent shall deem necessary), as may be requested by the Collateral Agent in order to enable the Collateral Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to any or all of the Obligations. Each of the powers and authorizations granted to the Agent in this Section 22.11, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable. None of such powers or authorizations shall be deemed to limit the powers and authorizations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
22.12 Enforcement; No Direct Liens.
Unless and until Full Payment of the Tranche A Obligations and a Required Collateral Transition is consummated, and except as contemplated in Section 22.6(c) above, each Tranche B Purchaser agrees (a) not to take any liens or security interests in any Collateral (and any such direct Lien or security interest shall be void ab initio and of no further force and effect and the Tranche B Purchasers and each of their agents and representatives through which such Lien is held shall be irrevocably obligated to release or subordinate, as directed by the Collateral Agent, in its entirety any Lien or security interest granted to or for the benefit of Tranche B Purchasers on such Collateral and to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such termination statements, mortgage releases, other release documentation or subordination agreements as the Collateral Agent may request to effectuate such release or subordination, as applicable; and if the Tranche B Purchasers or any of their agents and representatives through which such Lien is held shall fail to promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral Agent’s request pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such release documentation or subordination agreements, then the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to execute and file such release documents and subordination agreements, as applicable, on behalf of the Tranche B Purchasers and any of their agents and representatives through which such Lien is held), (b) not to ask, demand or xxx for any right or remedy in respect of any of the Collateral, (c) not to take or receive from the Company or any Credit Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property, by set-off (other than where the offset amounts are turned in cash to the Tranche A Purchaser for application to the Tranche A Obligations in accordance with Section 22.7) or in any other manner, whether pursuant to any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure proceeding or otherwise, any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral, (d) that the sole right of the Tranche B Purchasers with respect to the Collateral is to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after Full Payment of all of the Tranche A Obligations and (e) not to commence, or join with any creditor other than the Collateral Agent or the Tranche A Purchasers in commencing any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in, or otherwise with respect to, any Collateral or proceeds thereof. Any proceeds of the Collateral received by the Tranche B Purchasers and any other cash or other property received by the Tranche B Purchasers in contravention of this Agreement shall be held in trust and paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Tranche A Purchasers in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements and shall applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.”

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the amendments set forth herein are effective solely for the purposes set forth herein and that the execution and
36
delivery by the Purchasers of this Amendment shall not be deemed (i) except as expressly provided in this Amendment, to be a consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of any term or condition of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement or of any other Financing Document, (ii) to create a course of dealing or otherwise obligate any Purchaser to forbear, waive, consent or execute similar amendments under the same or similar circumstances in the future, or (iii) to amend, prejudice, relinquish or impair any right of the Purchasers to receive any indemnity or similar payment from any Person or entity as a result of any matter arising from or relating to this Amendment.
(d) In consideration of, among other things, the amendments, waivers and consents provided for herein, and any other financial accommodations which the Purchasers elect to extend to the Company, the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of each Credit Party, forever waives, releases and discharges any and all claims (including, without limitation, cross-claims, counterclaims, rights of setoff and recoupment), causes of action, demands, suits, costs, expenses and damages that they now have, of whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether arising at law or in equity, against the Collateral Agent and any Purchaser (in their respective capacities as such) and any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other representatives, based in whole or in part on facts, whether or not known, existing on or prior to the date of this Amendment. The provisions of this Section 41.1(d) shall survive the termination of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and payment in full of the Obligations.
41.2 Counterparts and Signatures by Fax. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart constituting an original but all together one and the same instrument. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by fax or electronic mail shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this Amendment.
41.3 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
41.4 Financing Document. This Amendment shall constitute a Financing Document.
41.5 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS THEREOF, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW THEREOF.
