  (a)   The Security Provider understands that the exercise by the Collateral Agent and the other Finance Parties of certain rights and remedies contained in the Finance Documents may affect or eliminate the Security Provider’s right of subrogation and reimbursement against the Obligors and that the Security Provider may therefore incur a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability under this Agreement.

  (b)   The Security Provider expressly authorizes the Collateral Agent and the other Finance Parties to pursue their rights and remedies with respect to the Secured Liabilities in any order or fashion they deem appropriate, in their sole and absolute discretion.

  (ii)   any loss or damage to any material portion of the Collateral; or

  (iii)   any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement is or becomes untrue, incorrect or incomplete in any material respect.

  (b)   Each notice delivered under this Clause, must include:

  (i)   reasonable details about the event; and

  (ii)   the Security Provider’s proposed course of action.

Delivery of a notice under this Clause does not affect the Security Provider’s obligations to comply with any other term of this Agreement.

  8.   WHEN SECURITY BECOMES ENFORCEABLE

This Security may be enforced by the Collateral Agent at any time after an Event of Default has occurred.

  9.   ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY

  (a)   The Security Provider does not comply with Clause 7.3(a) (The Collateral);

  (b)   The Security Provider does not comply with any other term of this Agreement or any Control Agreement unless the non-compliance:

  (i)   is capable of remedy; and

  (c)   a representation or warranty made or repeated in this Agreement or any Control Agreement, is untrue or incorrect in any material aspect when made or deemed to be repeated;

  9.2   General

  (a)   After this Security has become enforceable, the Collateral Agent may immediately, in its absolute discretion, exercise any right under:

  (i)   applicable law; or

  (ii)   this Agreement,

to enforce all or any part of the Security in respect of any Collateral in any manner or order it sees fit.

  (b)   This includes:

  (i)   any rights and remedies available to the Collateral Agent under applicable law and under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral and regardless of whether or not the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights or remedies are asserted) as if those rights and remedies were set forth in this Agreement in full;

  (ii)   transferring or assigning to, or registering in the name of, the Collateral Agent or its nominees any of the Collateral;

  (iii)   exercising any consent and other rights relating to any Collateral;

  (iv)   performing or complying with any contractual obligation that constitutes part of the Collateral;

  (v)   receiving, endorsing, negotiating, executing and delivering or collecting upon any check, draft, note, acceptance, chattel paper, account, instrument, document, letter of credit, contract, agreement, receipt, release, bill of lading, invoice, endorsement, assignment, bill of sale, deed, security, share certificate, stock power, proxy, or instrument of conveyance or transfer constituting or relating to any Collateral;

  (viii)   exercising any other right or remedy available to the Collateral Agent under the other Finance Documents or any other agreement between the parties.

  9.3   Collections after an Event of Default

  (a)   If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Security Provider must hold all funds and other property received or collected in respect of the Collateral in trust for the Collateral Agent, and must keep these funds and this other property segregated from all other funds and property so as to be capable of identification.

  (b)   The Security Provider must deliver those funds and that other property to the Collateral Agent in the identical form received, properly endorsed or assigned when required to enable the Collateral Agent to complete collection.

  (c)   After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Security Provider may not settle, compromise, adjust, discount or release any claim in respect of Collateral and must not accept any returns of merchandise other than in the ordinary course of business.

  9.4   Collateral Agent’s rights upon default

  (a)   The Security Provider irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as the Security Provider’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in the Security Provider’s name or in the Collateral Agent’s name or otherwise, and at the Security Provider’s expense, to take any of the actions authorized by this Agreement or permitted under applicable law upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without notice to or the consent of the Security Provider. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. The Security Provider ratifies and confirms all actions taken by the Collateral Agent or its agents under this power of attorney.

  (b)   The Security Provider agrees that 10 days notice shall constitute reasonable notice in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral.

  (c)   The Collateral Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Collateral.

  (d)   The grant to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement of any right, power or remedy does not impose upon the Collateral Agent any duty to exercise that right, power or remedy. The Collateral Agent will have no obligation to take any steps to preserve any claim or other right against any person or with respect to any Collateral.

  (e)   The Security Provider bears the risk of loss, damage, diminution in value, or destruction of the Collateral.

  (f)   The Collateral Agent will have no responsibility for any act or omission of any courier, bailee, broker, bank, investment bank or any other person chosen by it with reasonable care.

  (g)   The Collateral Agent makes no express or implied representations or warranties with respect to any Collateral or other property released to the Security Provider or its successors and assigns.

  (h)   The Security Provider agrees that the Collateral Agent will have met its duty of care under applicable law if it holds, maintains and disposes of Collateral in the same manner that it holds, maintains and disposes of property for its own account.

  (j)   The sale, transfer or other disposition under this Agreement of any right, title, or interest of the Security Provider in any item of Collateral will:

  (i)   operate to divest the Security Provider permanently and all persons claiming under or through the Security Provider of that right, title, or interest, and

  (ii)   be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, to any claims by the Security Provider or any person claiming under or through the Security Provider
     
9.5
  with respect to that item of Collateral.
No marshaling

  (a)   The Collateral Agent need not, and the Security Provider irrevocably waives and agrees that it will not invoke or assert any law requiring the Collateral Agent to:

  (i)   attempt to satisfy the Secured Liabilities by collecting them from any other person liable for them; or

  (ii)   marshal any security or guarantee securing payment or performance of the Secured Liabilities or any particular asset of the Security Provider.

  (b)   The Collateral Agent may release, modify or waive any collateral or guarantee provided by any other person to secure any of the Secured Liabilities, without affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the Security Provider.

  (a)   first, in or towards payment of or provision for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Finance Party in connection with the enforcement of this Security;

  (b)   second, in or towards payment of, or provision for, the Secured Liabilities; and

  (c)   third, in payment of the surplus (if any) to the Security Provider or any other person entitled to it under applicable law.

This Clause is subject to the payment of any claims having priority over this Security. This Clause does not prejudice the right of any Finance Party to recover any shortfall from the Security Provider.
