constitute investment company securities, and (C) are not and will not be held by such Grantor in a
securities account. In addition, none of the Pledged Operating Agreements, the Pledged Partnership
Agreements, or any other agreements governing any of the Pledged Interests issued under any Pledged
Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, provide or shall provide that such Pledged
Interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
relevant jurisdiction;
(i) Intentionally Omitted;
(j) Transfers and Other Liens. Grantors shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of
law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the
Collateral, except expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or permit to exist
any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of any of Grantors, except for Permitted
Liens. The inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral shall not be deemed to constitute
Administrative Agent’s consent to any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral otherwise
prohibited under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and
(k) Other Actions as to Any and All Collateral. Each Grantor shall promptly (and in
any event within ten (10)) Business Days of acquiring or obtaining such Collateral) notify
Administrative Agent in writing upon acquiring or otherwise obtaining any Collateral after the date
hereof consisting of Investment Related Property (other than any security or security entitlement
that is maintained in a securities account which is subject to a tri-party control agreement among
the Administrative Agent, the applicable Grantor and the securities intermediary), Chattel Paper
(electronic, tangible or otherwise), promissory notes (as defined in the UCC), or Instruments, in
each case, individually or in the aggregate, having a face amount of at least $1,000,000 and upon
the request of Administrative Agent and in accordance with Section 8 hereof, promptly
execute such other documents, or if applicable, deliver such Chattel Paper, other documents or
certificates evidencing any Investment Related Property in accordance with Section 6 hereof
and do such other acts or things deemed necessary or desirable by Administrative Agent to protect
Administrative Agent’s Security Interest therein.
7. Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
read and construed with the other Loan Documents referred to below in the manner so indicated.
(a) Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this
Agreement and a provision in the Credit Agreement, such provision of the Credit Agreement shall
control.
(b) Patent and Copyright Security Agreements. The provisions of the Copyright
Security Agreements and Patent Security Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this
Agreement, and nothing contained in the Copyright Security Agreements or the Patent Security
Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Administrative Agent hereunder.
8. Further Assurances.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor will promptly
execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
necessary or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any
Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Administrative Agent to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral.
(b) Each Grantor authorizes the filing by Administrative Agent financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, and such Grantor will execute and deliver to Administrative
Agent such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or as Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to
be granted hereby.
(c) Each Grantor authorizes Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time to file,
transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments describing the
Collateral as defined herein.
(d) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or
amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in
connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent,
subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.
9. Administrative Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent (or its designee) may proceed to
perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other
agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor
itself could.
10. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably
appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of
such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, to take any action and to execute any
instrument which Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, including:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and
receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts constituting
Collateral or any other Collateral of such Grantor;
(b) to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to
change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor to that of Administrative Agent;
(c) to receive, indorse, and collect any Drafts or other Instruments, Documents, Negotiable
Collateral or Chattel Paper;
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Administrative
Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor
or otherwise to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to repair, alter, or supply Goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the
purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor
constituting Collateral;
(f) to use any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial
designs, Copyrights, advertising matter or other industrial or intellectual property rights, in
advertising for sale and selling Inventory and other Collateral and to collect any amounts due
under Accounts constituting Collateral, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor to the
extent permitted under applicable licenses agreements or as permitted by Applicable Law; and
(g) Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Group shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Patents, Copyrights and Intellectual
Property Licenses related to Patents and Copyrights and, if Administrative Agent shall commence any
such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of Administrative
Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required
by Administrative Agent in aid of such enforcement.
To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.
11. Administrative Agent May Perform. If any of Grantors fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith
shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors.
12. Administrative Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Administrative Agent
hereunder are solely to protect Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit
of the Lender Group, and shall not impose any duty upon Administrative Agent to exercise any such
powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting
for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual
possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
Administrative Agent accords its own property.
13. Collection of Certain Accounts, Certain General Intangibles and Negotiable
Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of
any Grantor to pay all amounts owing on Accounts constituting Collateral to Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Lender Group, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and
Negotiable Collateral (in each case to the extent constituting Collateral) directly, and any
collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the
Loan Documents.
14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Administrative Agent. None of the Pledged
Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests
hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the
various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an
Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the
lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition,
Administrative Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further
understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests
than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state
securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if
Administrative Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged
Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, Administrative Agent shall have the
right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm
(but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in
determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner
in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best
price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive
evidence that Administrative Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.
15. Voting Rights.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Administrative
Agent may, at its option, and with prior notice to any Grantor, and in addition to all rights and
remedies available to Administrative Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or
otherwise, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights in respect of
the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is Administrative Agent
obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Administrative Agent
duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints
Administrative Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote
such Pledged Interests in any manner Administrative Agent deems advisable for or against all
matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the
case may be. The power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable.
(b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it,
such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests
which would materially adversely affect the rights of Administrative Agent and the other members of
the Lender Group with respect to the Borrower Parties taken as a whole.
16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a) Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it,
all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC or any other Applicable
Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any
such event, Administrative Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to
or upon any of Grantors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and
notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC or any other
Applicable Law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i)
require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon
request of Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by
Administrative Agent and make it available to Administrative Agent at one or more locations where
such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of
Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as
Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days notice to any of Grantors of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically
such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the
meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale
of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Administrative Agent may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability
for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, URLs, domain
names, industrial designs, other industrial or Intellectual Property or any property of a similar
nature, whether owned by any of Grantors or with respect to which any of Grantors have rights under
license, sublicense, or other agreements, as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale,
advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and
all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent in each case, to the
extent permitted under applicable licenses and franchise agreements or as permitted by Applicable
Law.
(c) Any cash held by Administrative Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by
Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or
any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth
in the Credit Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all
of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any
such deficiency.
(d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial
transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Administrative
Agent shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, have the right to an immediate writ of
possession without notice of a hearing. Administrative Agent shall have the right to the
appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each of Grantors, and each Grantor
hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantors
may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Administrative Agent.
17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Administrative Agent as
provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition
to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by Administrative Agent, of any one or more of such rights,
powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Administrative Agent
of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
18. Marshaling. Administrative Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or
future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances
of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or
other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies
hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the
extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to
the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Administrative
Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or
evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise
assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the
benefits of all such laws.
19. Intentionally Omitted.
20. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no
consent to any departure by any of Grantors herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No
amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by Administrative Agent and each of Grantors to which such amendment applies.
21. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to Administrative Agent at its
address specified in the Credit Agreement, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses
specified in the Credit Agreement or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated
by such party in a written notice to the other party.
22. Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement. This Agreement
shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force
and effect until the Obligations have been repaid in full in cash, or otherwise satisfied to the
satisfaction of the Lender Group, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the
Revolving Loan Commitment has expired or has been terminated, (b) be binding upon each of Grantors,
and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable
by, Administrative Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the
Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations
under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested
with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon
repayment in full in cash, or other satisfaction to the satisfaction of the Lender Group, of the
Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the expiration or
termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At
such time, Administrative Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate
termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal,
extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to
Administrative Agent nor any additional Advances or other loans made by any Lender to Borrowers,
nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors,
or any of them, by Administrative Agent, nor any other act of any member of the Lender Group shall
release any of Grantors from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by
Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Administrative
Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Administrative Agent
and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Administrative Agent of any right or
remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy
which Administrative Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
23. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
(b) FOR PURPOSES OF ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL
JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK
AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY DESIGNATES AND APPOINTS, AS ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS IN
THE STATE OF NEW YORK, ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER, OR SUCH OTHER PERSON AS SUCH GRANTOR SHALL
DESIGNATE HEREAFTER BY WRITTEN NOTICE GIVEN TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (THE “DESIGNEE”). THE
CONSENT TO JURISDICTION HEREIN SHALL NOT BE EXCLUSIVE. THE LENDER GROUP SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES
AUTOMATICALLY, AND WITHOUT ANY ACT ON THEIR PART, BE ENTITLED TO TREAT SUCH DESIGNEE OF EACH
GRANTOR AS THE AUTHORIZED AGENT TO RECEIVE FOR AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH GRANTOR SERVICE OF WRITS, OR
SUMMONS OR OTHER LEGAL PROCESS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WHICH SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVE
PERSONAL SERVICE ON SUCH GRANTOR SERVED WHEN DELIVERED TO THE DESIGNEE, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH
DESIGNEE GIVES NOTICE TO SUCH GRANTOR; AND DELIVERY OF SUCH SERVICE TO ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT SHALL
BE DEEMED TO BE MADE WHEN PERSONALLY DELIVERED. IF THE DESIGNEE IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER OR
AN AFFILIATE OF ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER, SERVICE SHALL BE MADE ON DESIGNEE BY DELIVERY TO THE
DESIGNEE’S AGENT REGISTERED WITH THE NEW YORK SECRETARY OF STATE FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS. IN THE
EVENT THAT, FOR ANY REASON, SUCH DESIGNEE SHALL NO LONGER SERVE AS DESIGNEE FOR A GRANTOR TO
RECEIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SUCH GRANTOR SHALL SERVE AND ADVISE THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THEREOF SO THAT AT ALL TIMES EACH GRANTOR WILL MAINTAIN AN
AGENT TO RECEIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK ON BEHALF OF SUCH GRANTOR WITH
RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT THAT, FOR ANY REASON, SERVICE OF LEGAL PROCESS CANNOT BE
MADE IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED ABOVE, SUCH SERVICE MAY BE MADE IN SUCH MANNER AS PERMITTED BY LAW.
(c) EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT WOULD MAKE NOW OR HEREAFTER FOR
THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
BROUGHT IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, AND HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM.
(d) EACH GRANTOR AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW
WAIVES, AND OTHERWISE AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT AND IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY TYPE IN WHICH ANY GRANTOR, ANY MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP OR ANY
OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS IS A PARTY, AS TO ALL MATTERS AND THINGS ARISING DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
24. New Subsidiaries. Pursuant to Section 6.20 of the Credit Agreement, any
new direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary (whether by acquisition or creation) of a Grantor (other
than an Excluded Subsidiary) is required to enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering
in favor of Administrative Agent a supplement to this Agreement in the form of Annex 1
attached hereto. Upon the execution and delivery of Annex 1 by such new Domestic
Subsidiary, such Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and
effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument
adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any
Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder.
25. Administrative Agent. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit
conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Administrative Agent” shall be a reference to
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group.
26. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on
separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an
original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method
of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of
this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or
other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original
executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this
Agreement.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
(c) Headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in
connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof.
(d) The pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both singular
and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform thereto.
(e) Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires
otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the
plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where
otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,”
“herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section,
subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise
specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement,
instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions,
modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and
thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes,
extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set
forth herein). Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction or repayment
in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in cash (or cash collateralization in
accordance with the terms hereof) of all Obligations other than unasserted contingent
indemnification Obligations. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such
Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other
Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any Record so transmitted
shall constitute a representation and warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of the
information contained therein.
