If an Event of Default shall occur, the Pledgor irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to terminate the Pledgor’s use of the Collateral and to exercise such rights and remedies as allowed by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after any delivery or taking of possession of the Collateral, or any thereof, pursuant to this Agreement, then, with or without resort to the Pledgor or any other Person or property, all of which the Pledgor hereby waives, and upon such terms and in such manner as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in its sole discretion, may sell, assign, transfer and deliver any of the Collateral, together with the associated goodwill, or any interest that the Pledgor may have therein, at any time, or from time to time. No prior notice need be given to the Pledgor or to any other Person in the case of any sale of Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be declining speedily in value or that is customarily sold in any recognized market, but in any other case the Administrative Agent shall give the Pledgor no fewer than ten days prior notice of either the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The Pledgor waives advertisement of any such sale and (except to the extent specifically required by the preceding sentence) waives notice of any kind in respect of any such sale. At any such public sale, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may purchase the Collateral, or any part thereof, free from any right of redemption, all of which rights the Pledgor hereby waives and releases. After deducting all Related Expenses, and after paying all claims, if any, secured by liens having precedence over this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may apply the net proceeds of each such sale to or toward the payment of the Secured Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and by such division as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to the Pledgor, and the obligors on the Secured Obligations shall remain liable for any deficiency.

Any and all fees, costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including, without limitation, the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the amendment and enforcement of this Agreement, all renewals, required affidavits and all other documents relating hereto and the consummation of this transaction, the filing or recording of any documents (including all taxes in connection therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge of any taxes, attorneys’ fees, maintenance fees, encumbrances or otherwise protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral, or in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or related to the Collateral, shall be borne and paid by the Pledgor, upon demand by the Administrative Agent and, until so paid, shall be added to the principal amount of the Secured Obligations.
10. The Pledgor’s Obligation to Prosecute. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in writing, the Pledgor shall have the duty to prosecute diligently any patent, trademark, service xxxx or copyright application pending as of the date of this Agreement or thereafter until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, to file and prosecute opposition and cancellation proceedings and to do any and all acts that are necessary or desirable to preserve and maintain all rights in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, payment of any maintenance fees. Any expenses incurred in connection with the Collateral shall be borne by the Pledgor.

11. Administrative Agent’s Right to Enforce. The Pledgor shall have the right to bring any opposition proceeding, cancellation proceeding or lawsuit in its own name to enforce or protect the Collateral.

The Pledgor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all damages, reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the provisions of this Section 11, in the event the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, elects to join in any such action commenced by the Pledgor.
12. Power of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may select, in its exclusive discretion, as the Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the power to endorse, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Pledgor’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to use the Collateral, or to grant or issue any exclusive or nonexclusive license under the Collateral to any third party, or necessary for the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Collateral, together with associated goodwill, to any Person or Persons. The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the life of this Agreement.
13. Administrative Agent’s Right to Perform Obligations. If the Pledgor fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may, but is not obligated to, do so in the name of the Pledgor or in the name of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, but at the Pledgor’s expense, and the Pledgor hereby agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, upon request, in full for all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in protecting, defending and maintaining the Collateral.
14. Additional Documents. The Pledgor shall, upon written request of the Administrative Agent, enter into such additional documents or instruments as may be required by the Administrative Agent in order to effectuate, evidence or perfect the interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral, as evidenced by this Agreement.
15. New Collateral. If, before the Secured Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full and the Commitment terminated, the Pledgor shall obtain rights to any new Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement hereby shall automatically apply thereto as if the same were identified on Schedule 1 as of the date hereof and the Pledgor shall give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice thereof.
16. Modifications for New Collateral. The Pledgor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule 1 hereto to include any future Collateral as contemplated by Sections 1 and 15 hereof and, at the Administrative Agent’s request, the Pledgor shall execute any documents or instruments required by the Administrative Agent in order to modify this Agreement as provided by this Section 16, provided that any such modification to Schedule 1 shall be effective without the signature of the Pledgor.

17. Maximum Liability of the Pledgor and Rights of Contribution. It is the desire and intent of the Pledgor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Pledgor under this Agreement would, in the absence of this sentence, be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers, then anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the amount of the Secured Obligations secured by this Agreement by the Pledgor exceed the maximum amount that (after giving effect to the incurring of the obligations hereunder and to any rights to contribution of the Pledgor from other affiliates of Borrower) would not render the rights to payment of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law. The Pledgor hereby agrees that, in connection with the payments made hereunder, the Pledgor shall have a right of contribution from other Credit Parties, as appropriate, in accordance with applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be waived until such time as the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full, and the Pledgor shall not exercise any such contribution rights until the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full.
18. Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to the Pledgor, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to it at the address specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, if to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to the address of the Administrative Agent or such Lender specified on the signature pages of the Credit Agreement or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each of the other parties.

All notices pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall not be effective until received.
19. No Waiver or Course of Dealing. No course of dealing between the Pledgor and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
20. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power or privilege specified or referred to in this Agreement is in addition to any other rights, powers and privileges that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have or acquire by operation of law, by other contract or otherwise. Each right, power or privilege may be exercised by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders either independently or concurrently with other rights, powers and privileges and as often and in such order as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may deem expedient. All of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Loan Documents, or by any other agreements or by law shall be cumulative and may be executed singularly or concurrently.
| 7 |
21. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and, if any clause or provision shall be held invalid and unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
22. Modifications. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by the Pledgor and the Administrative Agent. No waiver or consent granted by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders unless specifically granted in writing, which writing shall be strictly construed.
23. Assignment and Successors. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Pledgor without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Pledgor and the successors and permitted assigns of the Pledgor, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable and exercisable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment or transfer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be null and void.
24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement integrates all of the terms and conditions with respect to the Collateral and supersedes all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings, if any, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
25. Headings; Execution. The headings and subheadings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature, which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original.
26. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. The provisions of this Agreement and the respective rights and duties of the Pledgor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with New York law. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in New York County, New York, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Loan Document or any Related Writing, and the Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. The Pledgor agrees that a final, nonappealable judgment in any such action or proceeding in any state or federal court in the State of New York shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
