(d) any taking, exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on, any property or assets of Borrower or any other Credit Party, or any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any other guaranty or surety of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other organizational structure or existence of any Credit Party; or

2.3 Actions with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby authorizes Secured Parties, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor, which notice or demand is expressly waived hereby, and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (which shall remain absolute and unconditional notwithstanding any such action or omission to act), from time to time, to:

(h) apply any and all payments or recoveries from any Guarantor or from any other guarantor or surety of or for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Obligations in such order as Secured Parties in their sole discretion may determine, irrespective of whether such Guaranteed Obligations are secured or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by any other Persons.
2.4 Guarantor Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Section 2 are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate or other similar Law, or in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Credit Party, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 2 would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty (after giving effect to the right of contribution set forth in Section 2.5), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor or any Secured Party, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Guarantor Maximum Liability”). If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any rights, claims or remedies at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default and prior to Payment in Full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and, promptly upon receipt thereof by such Guarantor, be turned over to Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to Administrative Agent, if necessary), for application against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed its Guarantor Maximum Liability without impairing any of the provisions of Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder, provided, that, nothing in this sentence is intended or shall be deemed or construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations under Section 2 beyond its Guarantor Maximum Liability.
2.5 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.4. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
2.6 Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby waives, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law:
(a) (i) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices whatsoever to or upon Borrower or any other Credit Party with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of any of Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Guaranteed Obligations, any Collateral or any other guaranty of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(c) any right to require any Secured Party to (i) proceed first against any other Credit Party, or any other guarantor or surety of or for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral given to or held by any Secured Party securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (iii) pursue any other right or remedy available to any Secured Party pursuant to any Loan Document or applicable Law;
(d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof; and
(e) all other suretyship or similar defenses available to such Guarantor pursuant to applicable Law.
2.7 Subrogation. Until Payment in Full, each Guarantor agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Credit Party or any other guarantor or surety of or for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or that now exists or hereafter may arise as a result of the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 2, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against any other Credit Party or any other guarantor or surety of or for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any Collateral, whether or not such rights, claims or remedies arise in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any other Credit Party or any other guarantor or surety of or for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such right, claim or remedy; provided, that, irrespective of Payment of Full, no Guarantor shall have any right to exercise any rights, claims remedies hereunder against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party if all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied with proceeds from the exercise of remedies by the Secured Parties in respect of any capital stock or other equity interests of such Credit Party or Subsidiary pursuant to a Loan Document.
2.8 No Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Credit Party and of any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of any agreement, document or instrument evidencing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that no Secured Party shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to such Secured Party regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Guarantor, such Secured Party shall not have any obligation to (a) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information which, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such Secured Party wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information pertaining to such Guarantor.
2.9 Continuing Guaranty. The guaranty set forth in this Section 2 is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full.

any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any such Copyright may become invalidated or otherwise impaired or fall into the public domain.

Such requirement may be waived at the option of Administrative Agent.
(b) Each Grantor shall, at any time and from time and to time, take such steps as Administrative Agent may reasonably request for Administrative Agent (i) to obtain “control” of any letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by the UCC with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control” for such items of Collateral), with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and (ii) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to insure the continued perfection and priority of Administrative Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein. If any Grantor shall at any time, acquire a commercial tort claim, such Grantor shall promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof and supplement Schedule 3.1, therein providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and upon delivery thereof to Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall be deemed to thereby grant to Administrative Agent (and such Grantor hereby grants to Administrative Agent) a Lien on to such commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof, all upon the terms and provisions of and governed by this Agreement.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record”, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof and, at the request of Administrative Agent, shall take such action as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to vest in Administrative Agent “control” under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. Administrative Agent agrees with the Grantors that Administrative Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in Administrative Agent’s loss of control, for the Grantors to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Xxx xx §00 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to make without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by any Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record
5.7 Pledged Equity Interests.
(a) Except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, each Grantor will cause the Equity Interests pledged by it hereunder to constitute at all times 100% of the Equity Interests in each issuer thereof owned by such Grantor and unless Administrative Agent shall have given its prior written consent, no Grantor will cause or permit any such issuer to issue or sell any new Equity Interests to any Person other than such Grantor or another Credit Party, or cause, permit or consent to the admission of any other Person (other than a Credit Party) as a stockholder, partner or member of any such issuer.
(b) If any Grantor shall, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, acquire any additional Equity Interests in any Person the same shall be pledged to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.1, and such Grantor will forthwith pledge and deposit the same with Administrative Agent and deliver to Administrative Agent any certificates or instruments evidencing such Equity Interests, together with undated stock powers or other necessary instruments of transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, together with such other certificates and instruments as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and will promptly thereafter deliver to Administrative Agent a fully completed and duly executed amendment to this Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E (each, a “Pledge Amendment”) in respect thereof. Each Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to attach each such Pledge Amendment to this Agreement, and agrees that all Pledged Collateral described in any Pledge Amendment shall for all purposes be deemed Pledged Collateral hereunder and shall be subject to the provisions hereof; provided, that, the failure of any Grantor to execute and deliver any Pledge Amendment with respect to any such additional Pledged Collateral as required hereinabove shall not impair the security interest of Administrative Agent in such Pledged Collateral or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent hereunder with respect thereto.
(c) If any Pledged Equity Interests of any Grantor (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) are uncertificated securities, such Grantor will promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof and will promptly take and cause to be taken, and will (if the issuer of such uncertificated securities is a Person other than a Subsidiary of a Credit Party) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer to take, all actions required under Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC and any other applicable Law, to enable Administrative Agent to acquire “control” (within the meaning of such term under Section 8-106 (or its successor provision) of the UCC) of such uncertificated securities and as may be otherwise necessary or deemed reasonably appropriate by Administrative Agent to perfect the security interest of Administrative Agent therein.
(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to its Pledged Equity Interests (subject to its obligations under Section 5.7(a)), and for that purpose Administrative Agent will 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 in writing to enable the Grantor to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; provided, that, each Grantor agrees that it will not cast any vote, give any consent, waiver or ratification, or take or
fail to take any action, in any manner that could reasonably be expected to violate or be inconsistent in any material respect with any term or provision of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or have the effect of impairing in any material respect the position or interests of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.
(e) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would occur as a result thereof), and except as otherwise provided herein, all interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts payable in cash in respect of any Grantor’s Pledged Equity Interests may be paid to and retained by such Grantor; provided, that, all such interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts shall, at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be paid to Administrative Agent and retained by Administrative Agent as part of the Collateral (except to the extent applied upon receipt to the repayment of Secured Obligations). Administrative Agent shall also be entitled at all times (whether or not during the continuance of an Event of Default) to receive directly, and to retain as part of the Collateral, (i) all additional Equity Interests or other securities or property (other than cash) paid or payable or distributed or distributable in respect of any Pledged Equity Interests in connection with any non-cash dividend, distribution, return of capital, spin-off, stock split, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or interests or similar rearrangement, and (ii) without affecting any restrictions against such actions contained in the Credit Agreement, all Equity Interests or other securities or property (including cash) paid or payable or distributed or distributable in respect of any Equity Interests in connection with any consolidation, merger, exchange of securities, liquidation or other reorganization. All interest, income, dividends, distributions or other amounts that are received by any Grantor in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

and all of the Pledged Equity Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares or interests, similar rearrangement or other similar fundamental change in the structure of the applicable issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Equity Interests), and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Administrative Agent may determine, and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests, all without liability except to account for any property actually received by it, but Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option or give any such consent, waiver or ratification and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing; and for the foregoing purposes each Grantor will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Administrative Agent, upon request, all such proxies and other instruments as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to enable Administrative Agent to exercise such rights and powers; AND IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING AND WITHOUT LIMITATION THEREOF, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS THE TRUE AND LAWFUL PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF SUCH GRANTOR, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION IN THE PREMISES, TO EXERCISE ALL SUCH VOTING, CONSENSUAL AND OTHER RIGHTS AND POWERS TO WHICH ANY HOLDER OF ANY PLEDGED EQUITY INTERESTS WOULD BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF HOLDING THE SAME, WHICH PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY, BEING COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, IS IRREVOCABLE AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL PAYMENT IN FULL; PROVIDED THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT EXERCISE SUCH RIGHTS IN THE ABSENCE OF A CONTINUING EVENT OF DEFAULT; and
(h) To sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, all or any of the Collateral, in one or more parcels, on any securities exchange on which any Pledged Equity Interests may be listed, at public or private sale, at any of Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Administrative Agent may deem satisfactory. If any of the Collateral is sold by Administrative Agent upon credit or for future delivery, Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, Administrative Agent may resell such Collateral. In no event shall any Grantor be credited with any part of the proceeds of sale of any Collateral until and to the extent cash payment in respect thereof has actually been received by Administrative Agent. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal, and all rights to require Administrative Agent to marshal any assets in favor of such Grantor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, that it has or may have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. No demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Law, as referred to below), all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Grantor, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall
be required under applicable law, Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantor at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice each Grantor agrees is commercially reasonable. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given. Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each public sale and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, upon each private sale, Administrative Agent may purchase all or any of the Collateral being sold, free from any equity, right of redemption or other claim or demand, and may make payment therefor by endorsement and application (without recourse) of the Secured Obligations in lieu of cash as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Collateral. Administrative Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal Law requirements in connection with the sale or other disposition of the Collateral and each Grantor agrees that such compliance is commercially reasonable. Administrative Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without giving any warranties, specifically disclaiming any warranties of title or the like and each Grantor agrees that such disclaimer is commercially reasonable.
6.2 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds collected by Administrative Agent upon any sale, other disposition of or realization upon any of the Collateral, together with all other moneys received by Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be applied to the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of all proceeds realized upon sale, other disposition or collection of the Collateral, and monies held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations. Upon any sale of any Collateral hereunder by Administrative Agent (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial proceeding, or otherwise), the receipt by Administrative Agent or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Administrative Agent such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
6.3 Grant of License. Each Grantor hereby grants (to the extent not prohibited by the terms of any applicable license agreement) to Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Patent Collateral, Trademark Collateral or Copyright Collateral now owned or licensed or hereafter acquired or licensed by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located throughout the world, for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as Administrative Agent shall determine, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license or sublicense by Administrative Agent shall be exercised, at the option of Administrative Agent, and only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, that, any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by Administrative Agent in accordance
herewith shall be binding upon each applicable Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure or waiver of an Event of Default.
6.4 Private Sale of Pledged Equity Interests.
(a) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities Laws as in effect from time to time, Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Equity Interests conducted without registration or qualification under the Securities Act and such state securities Laws, to limit purchasers to any one or more Persons who will represent and agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Equity Interests for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be made in such manner and under such circumstances as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole and absolute discretion, including at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and agrees that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to conduct any public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit its registration for public sale under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws, and shall not have any responsibility or liability as a result of its election so not to conduct any such public sales or delay the sale of any Pledged Equity Interests, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until after such registration. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Equity Interests may have been sold at any private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Equity Interests to more than one offeree.
6.5 The Grantors Remain Liable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) each Grantor shall remain liable under all agreements, documents and instruments to which it is a party included within the Collateral (including, without limitation, all Equity Investment Agreements) to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by Administrative Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its obligations under any of such agreements, documents and instruments, and (iii) except as specifically provided for hereinbelow, neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under any of such agreements, documents or instruments, nor shall Administrative Agent or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. This Agreement shall not in any way be deemed to obligate Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale under this Agreement to assume any of a Grantor’s obligations, duties or liabilities under any Investment Agreement, including, without limitation, any Grantor’s obligations, if any, to manage the business and affairs of the applicable partnership, joint venture, limited liability
company, limited liability partnership or other issuer (collectively, the “Partner Obligations”), unless Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party or purchaser otherwise agrees in writing to assume any or all of such Partner Obligations. In the event of foreclosure by Administrative Agent hereunder, then except as provided in the preceding sentence, each applicable Grantor shall remain bound and obligated to perform its Partner Obligations and neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be deemed to have assumed any Partner Obligations. In the event Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale elects to become a substitute partner or member in place of a Grantor, the party making such election shall adopt in writing such Equity Investment Agreement and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof; and subject to the execution of such written agreement, each Grantor hereby irrevocably consents in advance to the admission of Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party or any such purchaser as a substitute partner or member to the extent of the Pledged Equity Interests acquired pursuant to such sale, and agrees to execute any agreements, documents or instruments and take any other action as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. The powers, rights and remedies conferred on Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest and privilege in the Equity Investment Agreements, as Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers, rights or remedies.
6.6 Waivers. Each Grantor, to the greatest extent not prohibited by applicable Law, hereby (i) agrees that it will not invoke, claim or assert the benefit of any rule of Law or statute now or hereafter in effect (including, without limitation, any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with Administrative Agent’s possession, custody or disposition of any Collateral or any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption Law), or take or omit to take any other action, that would or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing the exercise of any rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale thereof, and waives the benefit of all such Laws and further agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted hereunder to Administrative Agent, but that it will permit the execution of every such power as though no such Laws were in effect, (ii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any applicable rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to require Administrative Agent to marshal any Collateral or other assets in favor of such Grantor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, and (iii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except notices expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) or to require Administrative Agent to pursue any third party for any of the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 7
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
7.1 Administrative Agent; Standard of Care. Administrative Agent will hold all items of Collateral at any time received under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of Administrative Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are only those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent, to the extent required under the Credit Agreement, shall act hereunder at the direction, or with the consent, of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, on the terms and provisions, and subject to the conditions, in each case set forth in the Credit Agreement. The powers conferred on Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for treatment of the Collateral in its possession in the same manner as that which Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property of a similar nature for its own account, 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 the Collateral. Neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable to any Grantor (a) for any loss or damage sustained by such Grantor, or (b) for any loss, damage, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of any Collateral that may occur as a result of or in connection with or that is in any way related to any exercise by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement, any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or any delay in doing so, or any other act or failure to act on the part of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, except, in each case, to the extent that the same is caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7.2 Further Assurances; Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will join with Administrative Agent to execute and, at its own expense, file and refile under the UCC such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments in such offices as Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, and wherever required or permitted by applicable Law, in order to perfect and preserve Administrative Agent’s Lien on the Collateral, and hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to sign and file financing statements and amendments thereto relating to all or any part of the Collateral (including, without limitation, information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC and which may describe the Collateral as “all personal property” of such Grantor or “all assets” of such Grantor or words of similar import) without the signature of such Grantor, and agrees to do such further acts and things (including, without limitation, making any notice filings with state tax or revenue authorities required to be made by account creditors in order to enforce any accounts in such state) and to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as Administrative Agent may reasonably require or deem advisable to perfect, establish, confirm and maintain the Lien provided for herein, to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto Administrative Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and approves all financing statements naming Administrative Agent or its designee as secured party and any Grantor as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof and ratifies and confirms the authorization of Administrative Agent to file such financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to adopt on behalf of the Grantors any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In no event shall any Grantor at any time prior to Payment in Full file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement with
respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming Administrative Agent or its designee as secured party and any Grantor as debtor.
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, Administrative Agent or otherwise, and with full power of substitution in the premises (which power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until Payment in Full), from time to time in Administrative Agent’s discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (except for the actions described in clause (vii) below which may be taken by Administrative Agent without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing) to take any action and to execute any instruments that Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement, including, without limitation:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(ii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, instruments, chattel paper and other orders for the payment of money made payable to such Grantor representing any interest, income, dividend, distribution or other amount payable in respect of any of the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same;
(iii) to obtain, maintain and adjust any property or casualty insurance required to be maintained by the Grantor pursuant to the Credit Agreement and direct the payment of proceeds thereof to Administrative Agent;
(iv) to pay or discharge taxes, Liens or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by Administrative Agent to become Secured Obligations of the Grantors, due and payable immediately and without demand;
(v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(vi) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any and all of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, and to do from time to time, at Administrative Agent’s option and the Grantors’ expense, all other acts and things deemed necessary by Administrative Agent to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and to more completely carry out the purposes of this Agreement; and
(vii) to sign the name of such Grantor on any financing statement, continuation statement, notice or other similar document that, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, should be made or filed in order to perfect or continue to perfect the security interest granted under this Agreement.
(c) If any Grantor fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement after written request to do so by Administrative Agent (provided, that, no such request shall be necessary at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or agreement and may take any other action that it deems necessary and appropriate for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral or its Lien thereon, and the reasonable expenses so incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantors pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

8.4 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
8.5 No Waivers.

8.10 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR ARISING HEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
(b) EACH GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, STATE OF ILLINOIS AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS.

8.14 Termination; Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until Payment in Full. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the assets or property of any Grantor, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time the payment, observance or performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or shall otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment, observance or performance, as the case may be, had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
