(i) require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Collateral Agent immediately, assemble the Collateral or any part thereof, as directed by Collateral Agent and make it available to Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by Collateral Agent;

(iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by the Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to the Grantor in respect of such occupation; and

(iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Grantor under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including without limitation, (A) any and all rights of the Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal of, all funds with respect to the Deposit Accounts, and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the other Collateral, including without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC.

(b) The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the 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. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable Law, Collateral Agent may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and 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, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. The Grantor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by Law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. Collateral Agent shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action with regard thereto. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Collateral 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.

Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(c) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all payments received by the Grantor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of the Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).


(d) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent may, without notice to the Grantor except as required by Law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or part of the Secured Obligations against any funds deposited with it or held by it.

(e) The Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.01 will cause irreparable injury to Collateral Agent, that Collateral Agent shall have no adequate remedy at Law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.01 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the Note and the Note Documents.

Section 6.02 No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. Collateral Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.06), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. No failure on the part of Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

Section 6.03 Application of Proceeds. Upon the exercise by Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, any proceeds received by Collateral Agent in respect of any realization upon any Collateral shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Note. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

and may make payments for such purpose; provided, however, that Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which the Grantor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which the Grantor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Note. Any and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent shall be reimbursed by the Grantor in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.08. Neither the provisions of this Section 7.02 nor any action taken by Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default.

Section 7.03 COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

(a) Power of Attorney. The Grantor hereby appoints Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default in Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Note and the other Note Documents which Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and nor shall Collateral Agent have any liability to the Grantor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). Except where prior notice is expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Grantor prior to taking any action taken in the preceding sentence, provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not limit Collateral Agent’s right to take such action or the validity of any such action. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. The Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

(b) No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or the Noteholders. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Collateral Agent or any Noteholder to exercise any such powers. Collateral Agent and the Noteholders 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 the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 7.04 Continuing Security Interest and Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) be binding upon the Grantor, its successors and assigns and (b) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Collateral Agent and each of its respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling Persons, in each case, as and to the extent provided in Section 15.9 of the Note; provided that, the Grantor shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void.


Section 7.05 Termination and Release. At such time as Payment in Full has occurred in accordance with the provisions of the Note, Collateral Agent shall release the Collateral from the Liens created hereby upon the Grantor’s reasonable request, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of Collateral Agent and the Grantor hereunder shall thereupon terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor. At the request and sole expense of the Grantor following any such termination, and upon receipt of a certification of the Grantor that such release and termination is permitted under this Agreement and the other Note Documents, Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

Section 7.06 Modification in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by the Grantor therefrom shall be effective, except by a written instrument signed by Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Note. Any amendment, modification or supplement of any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by the Grantor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

Section 7.07 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Note, and, as to the Grantor, addressed to it at the address of the Grantor set forth in the Note and as to Collateral Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Note, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.

Section 7.08 Indemnity and Expenses.

(a) The provisions of Section 15.2 and Section 15.3 of the Note are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis, as if fully set forth herein.

(b) The Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse Collateral Agent for all its documented costs and expenses incurred in collecting the Secured Obligations or otherwise protecting, enforcing or preserving any rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Note Documents, including the documented fees and other charges of outside counsel to Collateral Agent.

(c) All amounts due under this Section 7.08 shall be payable not later than three (3) Business Days after written demand therefor, shall constitute Secured Obligations and shall bear interest until paid at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any past due Loan under the Note.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Grantor under this Agreement or any other Note Documents, the agreements and obligations of the Grantor contained in this Section 7.08 shall survive termination of the Note Documents and payment in full of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.

Section 7.09 Governing Law, Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. The provisions of Sections 15.4, Section 15.5, Section 15.6 and Section 15.7 of the Note are hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, as if fully set forth herein.


Section 7.10 Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Note Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Collateral Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Collateral Agent and when Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the other parties hereto. Execution and delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic or digital signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity, and enforceability as manually executed signatures or a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 U.S.C. §§ 7001 to 7031), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), or any state law based on the UETA.

Section 7.12 No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Note Document, nor the exercise by Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve the Grantor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Grantor’s part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral or from any liability to any Person in respect of any of the Collateral or shall impose any obligation on Collateral Agent to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Grantor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on Collateral Agent for any act or omission on the part of the Grantor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Grantor contained in this Agreement, the Note or the other Note Documents, or in respect of the Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Collateral. The obligations of the Grantor contained in this Section 7.12 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of the Grantor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Note and the other Note Documents.

Section 7.13 Obligations Absolute. The Grantor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All obligations of the Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or


any Note Document or any related agreement or instrument; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations or any other obligation of the Grantor under any Note Document, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of any Note Document or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise; (c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for the Secured Obligations; (d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured Obligations; (e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations; (f) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, ownership or existence of the Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Grantor or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Secured Obligations; (g) any failure of Collateral Agent to disclose to the Grantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Grantor now or hereafter known to Collateral Agent; the Grantor waiving any duty of Collateral Agent to disclose such information; (h) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement or any other agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Grantor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations; (i) the failure of Collateral Agent to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Note Document or otherwise; (j) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Grantor against Collateral Agent; or (k) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loan or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Collateral Agent that might vary the risk of the Grantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Grantor or any other guarantor or surety.

Section 7.14 Collateral Agent Capacity; Majority Noteholder Direction. Kroll Trustee Services Limited is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as “Collateral Agent” under the Note and shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities granted to the “Collateral Agent” under the Note and the other Note Documents as if such rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities were set forth herein. Whenever this Agreement provides for a matter to be acceptable to, determined by, extensions granted by, requests made by or other similar exercises of discretion, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request and receive written instructions from Majority Noteholders and shall have no responsibility or liability for any losses or damages of any nature that may arise from any action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the written direction of Majority Noteholders or any delay caused such request.
