If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Related Property to its name or the name of its nominee or agent. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Related Property for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(x) to the extent deemed prudent in its reasonable business judgment as determine by such Grantor in good faith or in the ordinary course of business as generally conducted by it, it shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of, and otherwise protect and enforce its rights in, non-public Intellectual Property, including, as applicable (A) protecting the secrecy and confidentiality of its confidential information and Trade Secrets by having and enforcing a policy requiring all current employees, consultants, licensees, vendors and contractors with access to such information to execute appropriate confidentiality agreements and (B) taking actions reasonably necessary to ensure that no Trade Secret owned or in-licensed by the Grantor falls into the public domain;

SECTION 5. FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS.

5.1 [Reserved].

5.2 Further Assurances.

(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it shall promptly execute and deliver all further agreements, instruments, certificates, powers of attorney, endorsements and any other documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:

(i) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;

(ii) take all actions necessary or as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the Liens and security interest granted hereunder in the Intellectual Property, including by the filing of the Intellectual Property Security Agreements set forth in Exhibits B, C and D hereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, filing any additional Intellectual Property Security Agreements or amendments or addenda thereto as a result of Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights, as applicable, that are included in the Collateral not being listed on Schedule A of each Intellectual Property Security Agreement) or foreign counterparts thereof, with any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or in which an application for registration is pending and any other office in which such recordation is required in order to perfect a first priority security interest therein, including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, the various Secretaries of State, and the foreign counterparts of any of the foregoing;

(iii) subject to the limitations on and requirements of inspections set forth in Section 5.3 of the Financing Agreement, at any reasonable time, upon request by the Administrative Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent, or persons designated by the Administrative Agent; and

 

24


(iv) at the Administrative Agent’s written request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor’s title to or the Administrative Agent’s security interest in all or any part of the Collateral.

(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file, at the Grantor’s sole expense, a Record or Records, including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect and continue, without interruption or lapse, the perfection and priority of the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the continued perfection and priority of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Each Grantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

SECTION 6. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

6.1 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:

(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Financing Agreement;

(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, sue 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;

(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above;

(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary, advisable or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;

(e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;

(f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property (including the Grantor Intellectual Property Licenses) in the name of such Grantor as debtor;

 

25


(g) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Administrative Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and

(h) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s sole expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

6.2 No Duty on the Part of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 7. REMEDIES.

7.1 Generally.

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon a default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:

(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;

(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Administrative Agent deems appropriate;

(iv) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any control or similar agreement and take any action provided therein with respect to the applicable Collateral;

 

26


(v) exercise those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ Lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

(vi) transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity Interests, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof; and

(vii) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

(viii) transfer, assign or register in its name or in the name of its nominee or assignee the whole or any part of the Intellectual Property, Grantor Intellectual Property Licenses, Regulatory Documentation or Regulatory Approvals, to exercise the power, authority and all other rights as an applicant, holder or party thereto with respect thereto and to otherwise act with respect to the Intellectual Property, Grantor Intellectual Property Licenses, Regulatory Documentation or Regulatory Approvals as though the Administrative Agent was the outright applicant, holder or party thereto.

(b) The Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC or applicable Debtor Relief Law and the Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or applicable Debtor Relief Law, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the

 

27


price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent, that the Administrative Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

7.2 Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may, at any such time, apply all or any part of the Proceeds of Collateral in payment of the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.12(f) of the Financing Agreement.

7.3 Sales on Credit. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

7.4 Deposit Accounts. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.

7.5 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold

 

28


hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Administrative Agent all such information as the Administrative Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Administrative Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Capital Stock and Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

7.6 Intellectual Property.

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property (including any Grantor Intellectual Property Licenses), in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Administrative Agent in aid of such enforcement, and, to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to the extent deemed prudent in its reasonable business judgment as determined by such Grantor in good faith or in the ordinary course of business as generally conducted by it, to use commercially reasonable efforts, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees, to the extent deemed prudent in its reasonable business judgment as determined by such Grantor in good faith or in the ordinary course of business as generally conducted by it, to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;

(ii) upon written demand from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Administrative Agent or such Administrative Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documents as are necessary, advisable or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;

(iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property;

(iv) within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Administrative Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Administrative Agent to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce (or finish production of work-in-progress), use, manufacture, license or sublicense, package, process, deliver and/or Commercialize the Product and the Intellectual Property, Grantor Intellectual Property Licenses, the Regulatory Approvals and the Regulatory Documentation, or provide any services related to any Product, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Administrative Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the Administrative Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and

 

29


(v) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Administrative Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;

 

  (1)

all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7 hereof; and

 

  (2)

Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.

(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Administrative Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Administrative Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Administrative Agent; provided that after giving effect to such reassignment, the Administrative Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect or, if necessary, reinstituted; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties.

(c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to research, develop, use, manufacture, operate under, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located; and (ii) an exclusive license to use the Company’s Trademarks for CLOVIS or CLOVIS ONCOLOGY (“House Marks”), subject to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of

 

30


invalidation of said Trademarks, solely to Commercialize or sell any Product during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent any Grantor has any right, title or interest, and in each case, subject to any licenses of Intellectual property granted by such Grantor to a non-Affiliate of such Grantor prior to the occurrence of the first Event of Default; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company retains the right to use House Marks for other products and services during an Event of Default.

7.7 Cash Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the rights of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 4.2 with respect to payments of Receivables and all other proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks, instruments, financial assets, or other non-cash items (“Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds and assets of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof), be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required) and deposited into the Administrative Agent’s Account; and any such Cash Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent against the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof. Subject to Section 4.2, any Cash Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, (A) be held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Administrative Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.

SECTION 8. [RESERVED].

SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF COMMITMENTS.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Financing Agreement, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Financing Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its Commitments or Obligations held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise.

SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM.

The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the 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 any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Financing Agreement.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

11.4 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent given in accordance with the Financing Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder.
