8. Certain Remedies; Rights Upon Default.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Debtor shall deposit with the Administrative Agent, promptly when collected, all Proceeds, whether consisting of checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders or other items, received in payment of any Collateral or on account of any Contract and in precisely the form received, except for such Debtor's endorsement when required, in a special bank account maintained by the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal only by the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, and until so turned over, such Proceeds shall be deemed to be held in trust by such Debtor for and as the Administrative Agent's property and shall not be commingled with such Debtor's other funds. Such Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. In no event shall any checks, drafts or other items which are deposited into such special account pursuant hereto constitute final payment unless and until such items have been collected. Any and all such Proceeds so received by the Administrative Agent (whether from such Debtor or otherwise) shall be applied in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against all or any part of such Debtor's Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion elect. Any balance of such Proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all of such Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, in addition to all other remedies granted to it in this Agreement or in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, the Administrative Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor expressly agrees that in any such event the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of the time and place of a public sale or the time after a private sale) to or upon such Debtor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver such Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of the Administrative Agent's offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The
10
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales to purchase the whole or any part of such Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Debtors which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived and released to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements and/or disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like without affecting the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other disposition. Each Debtor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and to make it available to the Administrative Agent at such places as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Debtor's premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the applicable Debtor's Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion elect, the Debtors remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so applying such net proceeds and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the applicable Debtor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Administrative Agent and the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall under any circumstances be liable for any punitive, consequential, or other special damages. The Administrative Agent shall have, with respect to the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to it at law or in equity or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other contract or agreement, all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable law, and it is expressly agreed that if the Administrative Agent should proceed to dispose of or utilize the Collateral, or any part thereof, in accordance with the provisions of said law, ten (10) days' prior written notice by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Debtor shall be deemed to be reasonable notice under any such provision requiring such notice (provided that no prior notice shall be required for Collateral that threatens to decline rapidly in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market).
(c) Each Debtor also agrees to pay all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred with respect to the collection of any of the Obligations and the enforcement of any of its rights hereunder.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.
(e) The 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 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 Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Administrative Agent's rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, such Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
9. Limitation on the Administrative Agent's Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the safe custody thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Each Debtor shall indemnify, reimburse and save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, suits or judgments, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party is named as a party, and any and all costs and expenses in connection with any thereof (including fees and expenses of legal counsel), for or on account of injury to or death of any person (including employees and agents of the Debtor), loss of or damage to property (including the Collateral) and any other liability which may result from or arise in any manner out of this Agreement or the ownership, control, management, use or operation of the Collateral, including any breach by any Debtor of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or any act done by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in reliance upon any of the foregoing or in connection with any such action or proceeding relating to any Collateral, except where any such liability arises solely out of or as the result of the actual possession or control of the relevant Collateral by the Administrative Agent or its agents or assigns and except where any such liability arises out of the Administrative Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence. The indemnity contained in this Section 9 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of the Obligations.
10. Security Interest Absolute. The pledges and security interest created hereby shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Facility Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any department from the Facility Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance (other than termination of the security interest as provided in Section 11) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Debtor or guarantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.
12
11. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that from time to time no Obligations may be outstanding. This Agreement shall terminate upon the later to occur of all of the following: (a) the express written termination of the Facility Agreement in accordance with its terms (accompanied by a release of any claims asserted by any party entitled to indemnification thereunder), (b) the termination or expiration without any pending drawing of each LOC, and (c) the final payment or satisfaction in full in cash of the Obligations.
12. No Offset. No offset or claim that any Debtor now has or may have in the future against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party shall relieve such Debtor from paying any amounts due hereunder or from performing any other obligations contained herein.
13. Notices. All notices, demands, requests and other communications provided for or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent to the parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02 of the Facility Agreement.
14. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
15. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of any Secured Party or the Administrative Agent 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. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of the Debtors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Debtors and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that the Debtors may not transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder (and any such assignment on transfer shall be void).
17. Indemnification. Each Debtor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursement of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof; provided that the Debtors shall not be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Each Debtor further agrees to pay, and to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other taxes which
13
may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
19. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Right to Jury Trial; Other Waivers.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(b) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE).
(c) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York state or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City.
20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
