4
provided, further, that immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any restriction or condition covering, or resulting in, any asset or other property of a Grantor constituting Excluded Property, the Collateral shall (in the absence of any other applicable limitation) include, and such Grantor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to such asset or other property and such asset or other property shall no longer constitute Excluded Property;

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations that would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Secured Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party.

(c) Each Grantor agrees that to the extent each interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled now or in the future by such Grantor and pledged hereunder is a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and is governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (i) such interest shall be certificated and (ii) each such interest shall at all times hereafter continue to be such a security and represented by such certificate. Each Grantor further acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled now or in the future by such Grantor and pledged hereunder that is not a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, such Grantor shall at no time elect to treat any such interest as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, nor shall such interest be represented by a certificate, unless such Grantor provides written notification to the Collateral Agent of such election and such interest is thereafter represented by a certificate that is promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

9
extent as such Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Accounts, including, without limitation, those rights set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Accounts of such Grantor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be either (A) released to such Grantor to the extent permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) except with the consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account, release wholly or partly any obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
Section 9. As to Intellectual Property Collateral. (a) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to each item of its Registered Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all commercially reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO and USCO, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent, trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the USPTO and USCO, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings.
(b) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of Intellectual Property Collateral registered with, issued by, or applied for with the USPTO or USCO that is material to the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Except as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Registered Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Grantor may refrain from taking, or shall be permitted to take, as the case may be, any actions otherwise prohibited or required by the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 9 with respect to Intellectual Property Collateral which it determines in its good faith commercially reasonable business judgment not to be useful to the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or worth protecting or maintaining (including without limitation by abandoning, failing to defend or maintain or causing any such Intellectual Property Collateral to become unenforceable, abandoned, invalidated or publicly available).
(d) With respect to its Registered Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto (an “IP Security Agreement”), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent in such Registered Intellectual Property Collateral with the USPTO and USCO.
10
(e) Without limiting Section 1, each Grantor (other than Holdings) agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type set forth in Section 1(p) that is not, as of the Closing Date, a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. Each Grantor shall, to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, or otherwise authenticate, an IP Security Agreement Supplement covering such After-Acquired Intellectual Property which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded promptly by such Grantor with the USPTO and USCO.
(f) At such time as the Collateral Agent is lawfully entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under Section 14, each Grantor grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non- exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use, assign or sublicense any Intellectual Property Collateral in which such Grantor has rights wherever the same may be located, including, without limitation, in such license access to (i) all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored, and (ii) all software and computer programs used for compilation or print-out. The license granted under this Section is to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under Section 14 and for no other purpose.
Section 10. [Reserved.]
Section 11. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, other than in the case of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent has not notified such Grantor of its intent to exercise remedies pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement:
(i) each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right in a manner prohibited by the Loan Documents;
(ii) each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that any and all:
(A) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral,
(B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Security Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid- in-surplus and
(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral,
11
(x) in the case of the foregoing clause (A), any such property distributed in respect of any Security Collateral shall be deemed to constitute acquired property and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement or other instrument) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the provisions of Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement and (y) in the case of the foregoing clauses (B) and (C), any such cash distributed in respect of any Security Collateral shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to the proceeds of a Disposition of property; and
(iii) the Collateral Agent will promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) upon notice to the applicable Grantor made pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement (and automatically in the case of clause (y) below to the extent such Event of Default is under Section 8.01(f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement), all rights of each Grantor (x) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) shall cease and (y) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions; and
(ii) all dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 11(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
Section 12. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (in accordance with this Agreement and each other applicable Loan Document), including, without limitation:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent;
(b) to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
12
(c) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and Chattel Paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above; and
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of any Assigned Agreement or the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.
Section 13. Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein after the expiration or termination of any applicable cure or grace periods, the Collateral Agent may, after providing notice to such Grantor of its intent to do so, but without any obligation to do so, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable and documented out-of- pocket expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 16.
Section 14. The Collateral Agent’s Duties. (a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care with respect to the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in Article IX of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Article IX of the Credit Agreement.
(b) The Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent have no obligation to keep Collateral in their possession identifiable. The Collateral Agent has no obligation to collect dividends, distributions or interest payable on, or exercise any option or right in connection with any Collateral. The Collateral Agent has no obligation to protect or preserve any Collateral from depreciating in value or becoming worthless and is released from all responsibility for any loss of value, whether such Collateral is in the possession of, is a security entitlement of, or is subject to the control of, the Collateral Agent, a securities intermediary, the Grantor or any other person.
(c) The Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all duties, rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein in relation to any duties, rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall
13
be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.
Section 15. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (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 the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Accounts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to accounts containing Cash Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Accounts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC, in each case in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten Business Days’ notice to such Grantor 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. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral 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) After the Collateral Agent has given notice to the applicable Grantor of its intent to exercise remedies, all payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(c) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to any Deposit Account of a Grantor that is not an Exempt Deposit Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Exempt Deposit Account” shall mean any Deposit Account owned by or in the name of a Loan Party with respect to which such Loan Party is acting as a fiduciary for another Person who is not a Loan Party.
(d) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
14
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 16) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the manner set forth in Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.
(e) In the event of any sale or other disposition (including pursuant to a plan of division) of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Agent or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.
(f) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Security Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this Section 15, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Security Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
(g) Subject to Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Security Collateral pursuant to this Section 15, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Security Collateral: (i) any registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments thereto; (ii) any information and projections; and (iii) any other information in its possession, in each case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), relating to such Security Collateral.
(h) Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents, to the extent permitted by any such requirement of Law (including, without limitation, Section 9-610 of the UCC), the Collateral Agent (or any other Person on its behalf) may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for Disposition in accordance with this Section 15 without accountability to the relevant Grantor.
(i) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in Section 15(f) above and, consequently, agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it will pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Security Collateral on the date the Collateral Agent shall demand compliance with Section 15(f) above.
Section 16. Expenses. (a) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of its counsel that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, in each case, in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.
15
(b) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of, and the Grantors shall jointly and severally have the indemnification obligations described in, Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Secured Documents. The provisions of this Section16 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any resignation of the Collateral Agent, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section10.04 of the Credit Agreement, the Grantors shall pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party, as applicable, for all amounts due under this Section 16.
Section 17. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. (a) Subject to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
(b) Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement, to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement, to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules I through V attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I through V, respectively, hereto, and the Collateral Agent may attach such supplemental schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Security Agreement Supplement.

All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made at such time as shall be set forth in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. Delivery by telecopier or in .pdf or similar format by electronic mail of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.
Section 19. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the payment in full in cash of the
16
Secured Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) and the termination or expiration without any pending drawing of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized or as to which arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Issuer that issued such Letters of Credit shall have been made), (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) 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, in each case as provided in Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement.
Section 20. Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of the Loan Documents to a Person that is not a Loan Party or in connection with any other release of the Liens on the Collateral provided for in Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement, such Collateral shall be automatically and without further action released from the security interests created by this Agreement. The Collateral Agent will, at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver without recourse and without any representation or warranty of any kind (either express or implied) to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate of the Borrower Representative to the effect that the release is in compliance with the Loan Documents.
