5. Authorized Action by Lender. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoint the Lender as its attorney-in-fact and agree that the Lender may perform (but the Lender shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to the Borrowers or any third party for failure so to do) any act which the Borrowers are obligated by this Security Agreement to perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as Borrowers might exercise with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the right to (a) collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral; (b) enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in exchange for the Collateral; (c) insure, process, preserve and enforce the Collateral; (d) make any compromise or settlement, and take any action it deems advisable, with respect to the Collateral; (e) pay any Indebtedness of any Borrower relating to the Collateral; (f) execute UCC financing statements and other documents, instruments and agreements required hereunder; (g) note any Borrower’s lien on certificates of title relating to the Collateral; provided, however, that the Lender may exercise such powers only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

The Borrowers shall be deemed in default under this Security Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement.

(b) Waivers; Amendments. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

 

Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Lender or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto with the consent of the Lender.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(i) The Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;

 

(ii) The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

 

(d) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

(e) Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Notwithstanding any provision of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or any exercise by the Lender of any of its rights hereunder or thereunder (including, without limitation, any right to collect or enforce any Collateral), the security interest shall survive payment in full and satisfaction of all Obligation in the Aged Truck Facility until payment in full and satisfaction of all obligations under the Hybrid Facility.

 

(f) Borrowers’ Continuing Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or any exercise by the Lender of any of its rights hereunder or thereunder (including, without limitation, any right to collect or enforce any Collateral), (i) the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall remain liable to perform their obligations and duties in connection with the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Fleet Owner Agreement, the Rental Company Contracts, the Dealership Contracts and all other agreements relating to the Collateral) and (ii) the Lender shall not assume any liability to perform such obligations and duties or to enforce any of the Borrowers’ rights in connection with the Collateral (including, without limitation, Fleet Owner Agreement, the Rental Company Contracts, the Dealership Contracts and all other agreements relating to the Collateral).

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

(iii) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address set forth in Section 7(a) or at such other address of which the Lender shall have been notified pursuant thereto. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

THE BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER.
