(e) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Holder within 30 days following the filing thereof. Upon the request of the Holder, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Holder may request to evidence the Holder’s security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

| 13 |
(g) In the event that any material Intellectual Property is infringed upon or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly notify the Holder after it learns thereof and, to the extent, in its reasonable judgment, such Grantor determines it appropriate under the circumstances, sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution.
5.8 Depositary and Other Accounts. No Grantor shall open or maintain any depositary or other deposit or securities accounts unless such accounts are subject to an account control agreement in favor of the Holder, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder. The Grantors shall deliver to the Holder a revised version of Schedule 6 showing any changes thereto within 5 days of any such change. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the financial institutions at which such Grantor maintains an account to provide the Holder with such information with respect to such account as the Holder may from time to time reasonably request, and each Grantor hereby consents to such information being provided to the Holder. Each Grantor will, upon the Holder’s request, cause each financial institution at which such Grantor maintains a depositary or other deposit or securities account to enter into a bank agency or other similar agreement with the Holder and such Grantor, in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder, in order to give the Holder “control” (as defined in the UCC) of such account.
5.9 Other Matters. (a) As of the First Closing Date, each of the Grantors shall cause to be delivered to the Holder a Collateral Access Agreement with respect to each landlord which leases real property at which such Grantor maintains its headquarters or any books and records (and the accompanying facilities) to any of the Grantors as of the First Closing Date. Such requirement may be waived at the option of the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion. If any Grantor shall cause to be delivered Inventory or other property to any bailee after the First Closing Date, such Grantor shall use reasonable efforts to cause such bailee to sign a Collateral Access Agreement. Such requirement may be waived at the option of the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion. If any Grantor shall lease any real property or facilities after the First Closing Date at which such Grantor maintains its headquarters or any books and records, such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the landlord in respect of such leased property or facilities to sign a Collateral Access Agreement. Such requirement may be waived at the option of the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion.
(a) Each Grantor authorizes the Holder to, at any time and from time to time, file financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral as “all assets” of each Grantor, or words of similar effect, and which contain any other information required pursuant to the UCC for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, and each Grantor agrees to furnish any such information to the Holder promptly upon request. Any such financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment may be signed by the Holder on behalf of any Grantor and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Grantor shall, at any time and from time and to time, take such steps as the Holder may reasonably request for the Holder (i) to obtain an acknowledgement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, of any bailee having possession of any material portion of the Collateral, stating that the bailee holds such Collateral for the Holder, (ii) to obtain “control” of any letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by the UCC with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control” for such items of Collateral), with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, and (iii) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of the Holder’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein. If any Grantor shall at any time, acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC) of an amount in excess of $100,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Holder thereof in writing and supplement Schedule 7, therein providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and upon delivery thereof to the Holder, such Grantor shall be deemed to thereby grant to the Holder (and such Grantor hereby grants to the Holder) a security interest and lien in and to such commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of and governed by this Agreement.
| 14 |
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record”, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Holder thereof and, at the request of the Holder, shall take such action as the Holder may reasonably request to vest in the Holder “control” under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.
5.10 Purchase Agreement. Each of the Grantors covenants that it will fully comply with each of the covenants and other agreements set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 6 REMEDIAL PROVISIONS.
6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Holder shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Holder may require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Holder’s request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Holder to furnish to the Holder reports showing reconciliations, agings and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.
(a) The Holder hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, and the Holder may curtail or terminate such authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Holder at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within 2 Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Holder if required, in a collateral account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Holder, subject to withdrawal by the Holder only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Holder, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
(b) At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Holder’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Holder all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
6.2 Communications with Obligors; the Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Holder in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Holder’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.
(a) Upon the request of the Holder at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Holder and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Holder.
| 15 |
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable in respect of each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. The Holder shall not have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Holder of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Holder be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
(c) For the purpose of enabling the Holder to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Holder an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Holder may refuse to allow Grantor to, and at its sole and absolute discretion the Holder may, exercise quality control over the products and services offered under the applicable Trademark to prevent invalidation or abandonment of such Trademark.
6.3 Investment Property. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes (to the extent not prohibited under the Loan Documents or any Ancillary Agreement) and to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, that no vote shall be cast or other right exercised or action taken which could impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement, any Loan Document or any Ancillary Agreement.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) the Holder shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends and distributions, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in such order as the Holder may determine, (ii) the Holder shall have the right to cause any or all of the Investment Property to be registered in the name of the Holder or its nominee, and (iii) the Holder or its nominee may exercise (x) any and all voting and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of holders of the Equity Interests of the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors or otherwise (or by written consent) and otherwise exercise any and all Pledged Rights, and (y) any and all Pledged Rights, rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Pledgor, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Holder of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Holder may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Holder shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
| 16 |
(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Pledgor of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to, and each such Pledgor hereby agrees to promptly, comply with any instruction received by such Pledgor from the Holder in writing that states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without any other or further instructions or consent of such Grantor, including any such instructions received by such Pledgor from the Holder as to the transfer of or other disposition of such Investment Property, to pay and remit to the Holder or its nominee all dividends, distributions and other amounts payable to such Grantor in respect of such Investment Property (upon redemption of such Investment Property, dissolution of such Pledgor or otherwise), to transfer to, and register such Investment Property in the name of, the Holder or its nominee or transferee, and to honor and comply with any exercise of Pledged Rights by the Holder. Each Grantor agrees that each Pledgor shall be fully protected in so complying with such instructions.
6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over to the Holder. In addition to the rights of the Holder specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other cash equivalent items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Holder, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall (unless the Holder provides express written notice to the contrary) forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Holder in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Holder, if required). All Proceeds received by the Holder hereunder may be held by the Holder in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds, while held by the Holder in any collateral account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Holder) established pursuant hereto, shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.
6.5 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Holder’s election, the Holder may apply all or any part of Proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral in payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Holder shall determine in its discretion. Any part of such funds which the Holder elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for the Secured Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Holder to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Holder may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Holder, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Holder or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. The Holder shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Holder’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Holder at places which the Holder shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Holder shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Holder hereunder, including reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to the Holder, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Holder may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Holder of any other amount required by any provision of law, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Holder arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
| 17 |
6.7 Registration Rights. (a) If the Holder shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity pursuant to Section 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Holder it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the Pledgor thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Pledgor to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Holder, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Holder, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Pledgor to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Holder shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Holder may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Holder shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledgor thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Pledgor would agree to do so.
(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Holder, that the Holder has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 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 Event of Default has occurred under the applicable Note.
6.8 Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-626 of the UCC. Each 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 in full and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Holder to collect such deficiency.
| 18 |
SECTION 7 THE HOLDER.
7.1 The Holder’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact; Irrevocable Proxy, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Holder and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Holder the power and right, on behalf of and at the expense of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Holder for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Holder may request to evidence the Holder’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) discharge Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, and effect any repairs or insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Holder or as the Holder shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Holder may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Holder shall in its sole and absolute discretion determine; (8) vote any right or interest with respect to any Investment Property or otherwise exercise any Pledged Right; (9) order good standing certificates and conduct lien searches in respect of such jurisdictions or offices as the Holder may deem appropriate; and (10) generally sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Holder were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Holder’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Holder deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Holder’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
| 19 |
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full, each Grantor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Holder, as its true and lawful proxy, with full power of substitution, for and in its name, place and stead to vote any and all Investment Property owned or held by such Grantor or standing in its name, exercise any and all Pledged Rights, and do all things which any Grantor might do if present and acting itself. Once exercised by the Holder, the rights granted pursuant to this proxy shall be exclusive to the Holder and no Grantor shall thereafter be entitled to exercise any such right in respect of any Investment Property. THE PROXY AND POWERS GRANTED BY THE GRANTORS PURSUANT HERETO ARE IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST (INCLUDING THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THIS AGREEMENT) AND ARE GIVEN TO SECURE THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney or the irrevocable proxy provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Holder, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, proxies, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the Secured Obligations and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
7.2 Duty of the Holder. The Holder’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Holder deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Holder nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any 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 any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Holder hereunder are solely to protect the Holder’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Holder to exercise any such powers. The Holder 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.
SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS.

(b) The agreements in this Section 8.3 shall survive repayment of all (and shall be) Secured Obligations (and termination of the Notes), any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents and termination of this Agreement.
8.4 Cumulative Remedies. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred upon the Holder shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective parties hereto, the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder and the successors and assigns of the Grantors, whether so expressed or not.

8.6 Headings. The headings of the Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
8.7 Further Assurances. Each Grantor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, from time to time at the request of the Holder, without any additional consideration, furnish the Holder such further information or assurances; execute and deliver such additional agreements, documents and instruments; and take such other actions and do such other things, as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby
8.8 Set-off. Each Grantor agrees that the Holder have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, each Grantor agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, the Holder may apply to the payment of any Secured Obligations, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Grantor then or thereafter with the Holder.
8.9 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;
(b) excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer designated by the Holder, the Holder has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or Ancillary Agreements, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor and, if and when applicable, stockholder; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Grantors and the Holder.
| 22 |
8.10 Releases. At such time as the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Holder and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Holder shall deliver to the Grantors any Collateral held by the Holder hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Grantors such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents and the Ancillary Agreements (other than any transaction between or among the Companies), then the Holder, at the request and sole expense of Grantors, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral.
8.11 Obligations and Liens Absolute and Unconditional. Each Grantor understands and agrees that the obligations of each Grantor under this Agreement shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any Ancillary Agreement, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Holder, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Grantor or any other Person against the Holder, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Grantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Grantor for the Secured Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, the Holder may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Holder to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Holder against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
8.12 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor or any Pledgor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor or any Pledgor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s or Pledgor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
| 23 |
8.13 Intercompany Subordination. Each Grantor covenants and agrees, irrespective of whether in or outside of any Proceeding, that the payment of any and all of the Subordinated Obligations shall be subordinate and subject in right and time of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Section 8.13, to Payment in Full. Whether in or outside of any Proceeding, each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it shall not make (and will not permit any other Grantor to make), and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not accept, any payment or distribution with respect to the Subordinated Obligations (including any payment or distribution received through the exercise of any right of setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim), until Payment in Full. Until Payment in Full, whether in or outside of any Proceeding, no Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Holder, exercise any Subordinated Lender Remedies. In the event of and during any Proceeding involving any Grantor: (a) all Secured Obligations shall be Paid in Full before any Grantor shall be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind on account of any Subordinated Obligations (whether in cash, property or securities, including securities issued under a plan of reorganization or liquidation); and (b) any payment or distribution of assets of such Person of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including securities issued under a plan of reorganization or liquidation), to which any Grantor would be entitled except for these provisions, shall be forthwith paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution directly to the Holder, to the extent necessary to make Payment in Full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the holders of the Secured Obligations. Until Payment in Full, if a Proceeding shall occur and be continuing, each Grantor shall file all claims they may have against the other Grantors, and shall direct the debtor in possession or trustee in bankruptcy, as appropriate, to forthwith pay over to the Holder all amounts due to the Grantors on account of the Subordinated Obligations until Payment in Full (which payment shall not be deemed to be a payment of, or otherwise credited against, the Subordinated Obligations). If the Grantors fail to file and/or vote such claims prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of time to do so, the Holder may (but shall have no obligation or duty to) prepare, execute, file and/or vote such claims in the Grantors’ names, and the Grantors also irrevocably authorize, empower and direct the Holder to demand, sue for, collect and receive (or cause to do the same) every such payment or distribution; provided, however, that the Holder shall have no obligation or duty to execute, prepare, verify, deliver and/or file any such claim and its action or inaction shall not give rise to any claims or liability against the Holder. If the Holder votes any such claim in accordance with the authority granted hereof, the Grantors shall not be entitled to withdraw or change such vote. Subject to Payment in Full and the provisions of this Section 8.13, the Grantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holder to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Secured Obligations to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Grantors have been applied to the Secured Obligations, until all amounts payable under the Subordinated Obligations shall have been paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the Holder of any cash, property or securities to which the Grantors would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 8.13, and no payment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.13 to the Holder by the Grantors shall, as among the Grantors and its creditors (other than the Holder), be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Grantors to or on account of the Secured Obligations.
8.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York and State of New York, and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.
8.15 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document. All such counterparts (including counterparts delivered by facsimile or other electronic format) shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto.
| 24 |
8.16 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as set forth below, this agreement supersedes and replaces all other prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
8.17 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereby waive such provision to the extent that it is found to be invalid or unenforceable. Such provision shall, to the maximum extent allowable by law, be modified by such court so that it becomes enforceable, and, as modified, shall be enforced as any other provision hereof, all the other provisions hereof continuing in full force and effect.
8.18 Nature of Remedies. All Secured Obligations of each Grantor and rights of the Holder expressed herein or in any Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Holder, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
8.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH GRANTOR AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
