5.4 |
Appropriations |
Until the expiry of the Security Period, the Security Trustee and each other Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on their behalf) may:

(b) |
apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against the Secured Liabilities or otherwise); and |

5.5 |
Non-competition |

5.6 |
Waiver of subrogation |
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any guaranty given by any Security Provider in respect of the Secured Liabilities, each Security Provider:
(a) |
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, for the benefit of the Security Trustee and the other Finance Parties; and |
(b) |
agrees not to claim or assert after the Security Trustee has exercised its rights under Clause 8 (When Security becomes enforceable), |
any right of subrogation, contribution or indemnity it may have against any other Obligor as a result of any payment under that guaranty or in respect of the Secured Liabilities.
5.7 |
Election of remedies |
(a) |
Each Security Provider understands that the exercise by the Security Trustee and the other Finance Parties of certain rights and remedies contained in the Finance Documents may affect or eliminate each Security Provider’s right of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Obligors and that such Security Provider may therefore incur a partially or totally non- reimbursable liability under this Agreement. |
(b) |
Each Security Provider expressly authorizes the Security Trustee and the other Finance Parties to pursue their rights and remedies with respect to the Secured Liabilities in any order or fashion they deem appropriate, in their sole and absolute discretion. |
(c) |
Each Security Provider waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment, or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, or subrogation or any other rights or remedies of such Security Provider against any other Obligor, any other person or any security, whether resulting from any election of rights or remedies by the Security Trustee or the other Finance Parties, or otherwise. |
5.8 |
Information concerning the Obligors |
(a) |
Each Security Provider represents and warrants to the Security Trustee and the other Finance Parties that such Security Provider is affiliated with each other Obligor or is otherwise in a position to have access to all relevant information bearing on the present and continuing creditworthiness of each other Obligor and the risk that any Obligor will be unable to pay the Secured Liabilities when due. |
(b) |
Each Security Provider waives any requirement that the Security Trustee or the other Finance Parties advise such Security Provider of information known to the Security Trustee or any other Finance Party regarding the financial condition or business of any Obligor, or any other circumstance bearing on the risk of non-performance of the Secured Liabilities. |

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Each Security Provider ratifies and confirms all actions taken by the Security Trustee or its agents under this power of attorney. |
(b) |
Each Security Provider agrees that 10 days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notice m connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral. |
(c) |
The Security Trustee may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Collateral. |
(d) |
The grant to the Security Trustee under this Agreement of any right, power or remedy does not impose upon the Security Trustee any duty to exercise that right, power or remedy. The Security Trustee will have no obligation to take any steps to preserve any claim or other right against any person or with respect to any Collateral. |
(e) |
The Security Providers bear the risk of loss, damage, diminution in value, or destruction of the Collateral provided that, the Security Trustee shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of all Collateral in the Security Trustee’s possession in accordance with Section 9-207(a) of the UCC. |

(i) |
Except as set forth in this Clause or as required under applicable law, the Security Trustee will have no duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Collateral. |
(j) |

(i) |
operate to divest such Security Provider permanently and all persons claiming under or through such Security Provider of that right, title, or interest, and |
(ii) |
be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, to any claims by such Security Provider or any person claiming under or through such Security Provider, |
with respect to that item of Collateral.
9.5 |
No marshaling |
(a) |

(c) |
third, in payment of the surplus (if any) to the Security Providers or any other person entitled to it under applicable law. |

(c) |
