all Accounts;

all General Intangibles;

all Equipment and Inventory;

all Intellectual Property;

all Documents;

all Instruments;

all Pledged Shares;

all Deposit Accounts and any other cash collateral, deposit or securities accounts, including all cash collateral, deposit or securities accounts established or maintained pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Forbearance Agreement;

all Computer Records and Software, whether relating to the foregoing Collateral or otherwise, but in the case of such Software, subject to the rights of any non-affiliated licensee of software;

all Investment Property;

all other personal property; and

the Proceeds, in cash or otherwise, of any of the property described in the foregoing clauses (a) through (l) and all Liens, security, rights, remedies and claims of such Debtor with respect thereto (provided that the grant of a security interest in Proceeds set forth is in this subsection (m) shall not be deemed to give the applicable Debtor

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the (x) Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be senior in all respects to the lien and security interest held by the Subordinated Noteholder (which shall be junior and subordinated in right of security to the Liens of the Collateral Agent) and (y) the payment obligations of the Debtor with respect to the Obligations shall be senior to the payment obligations of the Debtor with respect to the Subordinated Note (which shall be junior and subordinated in right of payment to the payment in full of the Obligations), each as set forth more fully in the Intercreditor Agreement

In the event any Debtor shall create any additional security interest upon any assets (other than the Collateral) to secure any obligations in respect of any other party, it shall concurrently grant a security interest to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Participating Counterparties, upon such assets as security for the obligations under this Agreement and require that such other party enter into an agreement subordinating its lien on such asset to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any liens on Collateral granted hereunder subject to Permitted Liens held by a Participating Counterparty shall be subordinate to such Permitted Lien and the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be limited to the right to receive any excess proceeds on such Collateral if and when sold or liquidated by the applicable Participating Counterparty.

Duly Authorized and Validly Issued. The Pledged Shares that are shares of a corporation have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and the Pledged Shares that are membership interests or partnership units (if any) have been validly granted, under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the issuers thereof, and, to the extent applicable, are fully paid and nonassessable. No such membership or partnership interests constitute “securities” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, and each Debtor covenants and agrees

Valid Title; No Liens; No Restrictions. Each Debtor is the legal and beneficial owner of the applicable Pledged Shares, free and clear of any lien or security interest (other than the Liens created by this Agreement or Permitted Liens), and such Debtor has not otherwise sold, granted any option with respect to, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of any of its rights or interest in or to the Pledged Shares. None of the Pledged Shares is subject to any contractual or other restrictions upon the pledge or other transfer of such Pledged Shares, other than those imposed by securities laws generally. No issuer of Pledged Shares is party to any agreement granting “control” (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) of such Debtor’s Pledged Shares to any third party other than as stated in the Intercreditor Agreement. All such Pledged Shares are held by each Debtor directly and not through any securities intermediary.

Description of Pledged Shares; Ownership. The Pledged Shares constitute the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of stock, partnership units or membership interests of the issuers thereof indicated on Schedule 1.2 (as the same may be amended from time to time) and such Schedule contains a description of all shares of capital stock, membership interests and other equity interests of or in any subsidiaries owned by such Debtor.

Promissory Notes and Tangible Chattel Paper. If Debtors, now or at any time hereafter, collectively hold or acquire any promissory notes or tangible Chattel Paper for which the principal amount thereof or the obligations evidenced thereunder are, in the aggregate, in excess of $100,000, the applicable Debtors shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably specify, and cause all such Chattel Paper to bear a legend reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent indicating that the Collateral Agent has a security interest in such Chattel Paper.

Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If Debtors, now or at any time hereafter, collectively hold or acquire an interest in any electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, which interest is worth, in the aggregate, in excess of $100,000, the applicable Debtors shall promptly take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control, under Section 9-105 of the UCC, of such electronic chattel paper or control under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.

Letter-of-Credit Rights. If Debtors, now or at any time hereafter, collectively are or become beneficiaries under letters of credit, with an aggregate face amount in excess of $100,000, the applicable Debtors shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in a writing signed by the Debtors of the particulars thereof and, at the written request of the Collateral Agent, the applicable Debtors shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either arrange (i) for the issuer and any confirmer of such letters of credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of the letters of credit or (ii) for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letters of credit, together with, in each case, any such other actions as reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in writing to perfect its Lien in such letter of credit rights. The applicable Debtor shall retain the proceeds of the applicable letters of credit until an Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing whereupon the proceeds are to be delivered to the Collateral Agent.

Reserved.

Pledged Shares. All certificates or certified instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Shares or any Debtor’s rights therein shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent promptly upon such Debtor’s gaining any rights therein, in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed stock powers or instruments

Voting Rights and Distributions.

So long as no Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing (both before and after giving effect to any of the actions or other matters described in clauses (A) or (B) of this subparagraph):

Each Debtor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights (including, without limitation, the right to give consents, waivers and ratifications) pertaining to any of the Pledged Shares or any part thereof; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent which would violate any provision of this Agreement or the Forbearance Agreement; and

Such Debtor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, distributions and interest paid in respect of any of the Pledged Shares and to use and expend the same in the normal course of business in accordance with the Forbearance Budget.

Upon the direction from the Majority Participating Counterparties to exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral delivered in accordance with Section 5.2:

The Collateral Agent may, upon providing simultaneous written notice to such Debtor, transfer to, or register in the name of, the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Shares and the Proceeds thereof (in cash or otherwise) held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter, after delivery of written notice to such Debtor, exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of any corporation issuing any of the Pledged Shares and any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Shares as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Shares upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of any corporation issuing any of such Pledged Shares or upon the exercise by any such issuer or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Shares and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Shares with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

All rights of such Debtor to exercise the voting and other rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 4.6(a)(i)(A) and to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 4.6(a)(i)(B) shall be suspended until such Event of Default shall no longer exist, and all such rights shall, until such Event of Default shall no longer exist, thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other rights and to receive, hold and dispose of dividends, interest and other distributions.

All dividends, interest and other distributions which are received by such Debtor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

Such Debtor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all such proxies and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4.6(a)(ii) and to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions which it is entitled to receive and retain pursuant to this Section 4.6(a)(ii). The foregoing shall not in any way limit the Collateral Agent’s power and authority granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement.

Possession; Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold in its possession all Pledged Shares pledged, assigned or transferred hereunder and from time to time constituting a portion of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may appoint one or more agents (which in no case shall be a Debtor or an affiliate of a Debtor) to hold physical custody, for the account of the Collateral Agent, of any or all of the Collateral. Absent gross negligence, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords to its own property, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. Following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to take ownership of the Pledged Shares in accordance with the UCC and the Forbearance Agreement.

Each Person which becomes a subsidiary of a Debtor subsequent to the date hereof shall execute a joinder to the Forbearance Agreement and deliver such joinders or security agreements or other pledge documents to ensure that the assets of such subsidiary are pledged as Collateral for security of the full and prompt payment of the Obligations.

Each Debtor agrees that, except with the written consent of the Collateral Agent, it will not permit any domestic subsidiary (whether now existing or formed after the date hereof) to issue to such Debtor or any of such Debtor’s other subsidiaries any shares of stock, membership interests, partnership units, notes or other securities or instruments (including without limitation the Pledged Shares) in addition to or in substitution for any of the Collateral, unless, concurrently with each issuance thereof, any and all such shares of stock, membership interests, partnership units, notes or instruments are encumbered in favor of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of the Debtors, each Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver all such further agreements, documents and instruments and take such further action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve, ensure the priority, effectiveness and validity of and perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in and pledge and collateral assignment of the Collateral (including causing the Collateral Agent’s name to be noted as Collateral Agent on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition of the Collateral Agent’s ability to enforce its security interest in such Collateral), unless such actions are specifically waived under the terms of this Agreement and the Forbearance Agreement, (ii) carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and (iii) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement and except for Permitted Liens, each Debtor agrees to maintain and preserve the Collateral Agent’s security interest in and pledge and collateral assignment of the Collateral hereunder and the priority thereof.

Each Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (i) indicate any or all of the Collateral upon which the Debtors have granted a Lien, and (ii) provide any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC, including organizational information and in the case of a fixture filing or a filing for Collateral consisting of as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Each Debtor agrees to furnish to the Collateral Agent, promptly upon its written request, any such information required by the preceding paragraph at such Debtor’s sole cost and expense.

to demand, sue for, collect or receive, in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange

(i) to direct account debtors and any other parties liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Participating Counterparties; (ii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iv) to commence and prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Debtor with respect to any Collateral; (vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (vii) to exchange any of the Collateral for other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may determine; (viii) to add or release any guarantor, indorser, surety or other party to any of the Collateral; (ix) to renew, extend or otherwise change the terms and conditions of any of the Collateral; (x) to make, settle, compromise or adjust any claim under or pertaining to any of the Collateral (including claims under any policy of insurance); and (xi) to sell, transfer, pledge, convey, make any agreement with respect to, or otherwise deal with, any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve, maintain, or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein.

The Collateral Agent may not be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct (in each case, as agreed to by the Collateral Agent or as otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), except that:

the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer of the Collateral Agent unless it is proved that the Collateral Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, as agreed to by the Collateral Agent or as otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction;

the Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to this Agreement and the Forbearance Agreement; and

anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and to the fullest extent permissible by law, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special, punitive, consequential or indirect damages of any kind whatsoever (including, among other things, lost profits), even if the Collateral Agent, or any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it.

Money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Agreement or the Forbearance Agreement.

No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, unless repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent shall have been received by the Collateral Agent.

Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Collateral Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.7 and to the provisions of the Forbearance Agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall (i) not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default or be required to act based on any other event unless written notice of such event shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent by the Majority

In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, pandemic, quarantine, shelter-in-place orders issued by a Government Authority, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, provided such failure or delay in performance could not have been prevented by the taking of commercially reasonable precautions such as the implementation and execution of disaster recovery plans. The Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to prevent any failure or delay in performance and to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

The Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for or with respect to (i) the legality, validity or enforceability of any collateral document or the Collateral, (ii) the preparation, filing or accuracy of any financing statement or continuation statement, or (iii) the perfection or priority of any interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral, or the monitoring or maintenance of any such perfection or priority.

Any permissive or discretionary right of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty of the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action in the performance of its respective duties hereunder that would be in violation of applicable law.

The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to enter into this Agreement, the Deposit Account Control Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or duty to exercise any right or obligation of the Collateral Agent under any other document unless provided with written direction to do so by the Majority Participating Counterparties.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to see to the payment or discharge of any liens (other than the liens created hereunder) upon the Collateral, or to see to the application of any amounts secured

The Collateral Agent shall not be accountable to any Person for the use or application of any deposited monies or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released from any lien created hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any liability for the acts of other parties that are not in accordance with the provisions hereof.

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for failing to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any related document in so far as the performance of such obligations is dependent upon the timely receipt of instructions and/or other information from any other Person which are not received or not received by the time required.

The Collateral Agent may accept and reasonably rely on all accounting, records and work of any Person provided to it by or on behalf of the Debtors or the Participating Counterparties without audit, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of any Persons. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any information received, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to the Collateral Agent making or continuing any Error (collectively, “Continued Errors”), the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for such Continued Errors.

If at any time the Collateral Agent is served with any arbitral, judicial or administrative order, judgment, award, decree, writ or other form of arbitral, judicial or administrative process which in any way affects this Agreement, the Collateral, or any part thereof or funds held by it (including, but not limited to, orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions), it shall (i) forward a copy of such arbitral, judicial or administrative order, judgment, award, decree, writ or other form of arbitral, judicial or administrative process to the Participating Counterparties and the Debtors (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (ii) be authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate; and if the Collateral Agent complies with any such arbitral, judicial or administrative order, judgment, award, decree, writ or other form of arbitral, judicial or administrative process, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other Person even though such order, judgment, award, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the

The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Collateral Agent need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, directions, consents, requests, orders or other instruments furnished to the Collateral Agent that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they comply as to conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

The Collateral Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

Except if expressly provided herein that the Collateral Agent is required to act or refrain from acting, if the Collateral Agent is unsure as to the application of the terms of this Agreement to a particular situation or believes that a proposed action may lead the Collateral Agent to incur financial liability, before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an officer’s certificate from a Participating Counterparty (acknowledged and consented to by the Majority Participating Counterparties) and the cost of any officer’s certificate shall be an expense of the Person requesting the Collateral Agent to act or refrain from acting. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an officer’s certificate.

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, that the Collateral Agent’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence.

The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel at the expense of the Debtors, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Agreement and the Collateral shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall limit the ability of the Debtors to recover Collateral from the Collateral Agent upon the payment of the Obligations in full in cash or the cure or waiver of any Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action in the performance of its respective duties hereunder that would be in violation of applicable law.

Except for those actions that the Collateral Agent is required to take hereunder without written direction, the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation, duty or liability to take any action or to refrain from taking any action hereunder that requires written direction in the absence of such written direction as provided hereunder.

All action taken by the Collateral Agent under any related document (including any servicer acknowledgment, servicing agreement, account control agreement, or Applicable Agreement) shall be covered by the Collateral Agent’s protective provisions set forth herein, including Section 6.6 and Section 6.7.

The Collateral Agent may: (i) terminate its obligations as Collateral Agent under this Agreement (subject to the terms set forth herein) upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Debtors and the Participating Counterparties; provided, however, that without the written consent of the Majority Participating Counterparties, such resignation will not be effective until a successor Collateral Agent reasonably acceptable to the Majority Participating Counterparties and the Debtors shall have accepted appointment by the Participating Counterparties as Collateral Agent, pursuant hereto and shall have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) be removed upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice by the Majority Participating Counterparties, delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Debtors, and the Participating Counterparties. In the event of such termination or removal, the Majority Participating Counterparties, with the written consent of the Debtors so long as no Event of Default shall be outstanding (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed), shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If, however, a successor collateral agent is not appointed by the Majority Participating Counterparties within 90 days after the giving of notice of resignation, the Collateral Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor collateral agent.

Any successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant hereto shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Debtors, the predecessor Collateral Agent, and the Participating Counterparties, an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the predecessor Collateral Agent shall become effective and such successor Collateral Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor as Collateral Agent under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Collateral Agent. The predecessor Collateral Agent shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Collateral Agent all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Debtors and the predecessor Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly

The Collateral Agent may exercise any of the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article 6 hereof).

In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a Collateral Agent under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and the Collateral Agent may also, without previous demand or notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or 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, in its reasonable discretion, deem commercially reasonable or otherwise as may be permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may (i) without demand or notice to the Debtors (except as required under applicable law), collect, receive or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and for that purpose the Collateral Agent (and/or its agents, servicers or other independent contractors) may enter upon any premises on which the Collateral is located and remove the Collateral therefrom or render it inoperable, and/or (ii) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at 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, in its reasonable discretion, deem commercially reasonable or otherwise as may be permitted by law. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale or sales, to bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) and become a purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof free of any right of redemption on the part of the Debtors, which right of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by the Debtors to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Collateral Agent may require the Debtors to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at any place designated by the Collateral Agent to allow the Collateral Agent to take possession or dispose of such Collateral. The Debtors agree that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters. The foregoing shall not require notice if none is required by applicable law. The Collateral

The Collateral Agent may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent or the name or names of the Collateral Agent’s nominee or nominees.

The Collateral Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Debtors under or in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all rights of the Debtors to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of any of the Collateral and any and all voting rights and corporate powers in respect of the Collateral.

On any sale of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is necessary (based on a reasoned opinion of the Collateral Agent’s counsel) in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable Governmental Authority.

The Collateral Agent may direct account debtors and any other parties liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Participating Counterparties.

For purposes of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 7.1 and enabling the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns to enjoy the full benefits of the Collateral, the Debtors hereby grant to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Debtors) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Computer Records or Software (including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and all computer programs used for the completion or printout thereof), exercisable upon

In view of the fact that applicable securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Pledged Shares may be effected after an Event of Default, Debtors agree that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may from time to time attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Shares by a private sale in the nature of a private placement, restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, the Collateral Agent may solicit offers for the Pledged Shares, or any part thereof, from a limited number of investors who might be interested in purchasing the Pledged Shares. Without limiting the methods or manner of disposition which could be determined to be commercially reasonable, if the Collateral Agent hires a firm of regional or national reputation that is engaged in the business of rendering investment banking and brokerage services to solicit such offers and facilitate the sale of the Pledged Shares, then the Collateral Agent’s acceptance of the highest offer (including its own offer) obtained through such efforts of such firm shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Pledged Shares. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States, under the Securities Act or under any applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

The Debtors further agree to do or cause to be done, to the extent that the Debtors may do so under applicable law, all such other reasonable acts and things as may be necessary to make such sales or resales of any portion or all of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Debtors’ expense.

On or before April 24, 2020, the Debtors shall enter into deposit account control agreements (the “Deposit Account Control Agreements”) with the Collateral Agent and each applicable bank with respect to the Deposit Accounts set forth on Schedule

In the case of any Event of Default under this Agreement, any and all cash (including amounts received by electronic funds transfer), checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money received by each Debtor at any time, in full or partial payment of any of the Collateral consisting of Accounts, shall forthwith upon receipt be transmitted and delivered to the Collateral Agent, properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Collateral Agent. Any such amounts and other items received by a Debtor shall not be commingled with any other of such Debtor’s funds or property, but will be held separate and apart from such Debtor’s own funds or property, and upon express trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent until delivery is made to the Collateral Agent. All items or amounts which are delivered by or for the benefit of a Debtor to the Collateral Agent on account of partial or full payment of, or any other amount payable with respect to, any of the Collateral shall, at the Collateral Agent’s option, be applied to any of the Obligations, whether then due or not.
