The Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the same, and such sale may, without further notice or publication, be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned; (vii) incur expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, consultants' fees, and other costs reasonably necessary to the exercise of any right or power under this Agreement; (viii) perform any obligation of any Grantor hereunder or under any other Note Security Document and make payments, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien, and pay taxes and expenses; (ix) take possession of such Collateral and render it usable, and repair and renovate the same, without, however, any obligation so to do, and enter upon any site where the same may be located for that purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease such Collateral, either separately from or in conjunction with the other Note Priority Lien Collateral or Credit Agreement Priority Lien Collateral (subject to the prior Discharge of the Credit Agreement Indebtedness), as the case may be, necessary or useful to such renovated Collateral, collect all rents and income from such Collateral and apply the same to the payment or performance of the Note Obligations of any Grantor; (x) make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any such Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any such Collateral; and (xi) secure the appointment of a receiver of such Collateral or any part thereof, without notice to any Grantor. (b) If, pursuant to applicable law, prior notice of any action described in Section 5.02(a) is required to be given to a Grantor, such Grantor hereby acknowledges that the minimum time required by such applicable law, or if no minimum is specified, ten Business Days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period. (c) The Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (collectively, the "Securities Laws"), the Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Note Priority Lien Collateral constituting "securities," however defined in the Securities Laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Note Priority Lien Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Trustee than those obtainable through a public sale without the restrictions applicable to a private sale and waives any claims against the Trustee and the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, provided that such private sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. (d) The Trustee agrees to not foreclose or exercise voting rights upon the outstanding O'Sullivan common stock that comprises the Note Priority Lien Collateral until the date which is at least 60 days following the date on which all of the notes have been declared to be due and payable immediately by the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or immediately prior to the filing of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. (e) Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any agreement under the agreements assigned, granted or pledged to the Trustee may be taken by the Trustee either in a Grantor's name or in the Trustee's name. (f) All rights of marshaling of assets of any Grantor, including any such right with respect to the Collateral, are hereby waived by each Grantor. (g) The Trustee shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.02(a) conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Trustee and the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Note Obligations of the Grantor, even if the Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, provided, that such private sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. SECTION 5.03. Compliance With Limitations and Restrictions; No Discount. Each Grantor hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trustee is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable legal requirements, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority, and each Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Trustee be liable or accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. SECTION 5.04. Right to Cure. In addition to the foregoing remedies, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any Event of Default and incur reasonable fees, costs and expenses in doing so, in which event the Company shall, subject to the Company's right to dispute in good faith any such reasonable fees, costs and expenses, immediately reimburse the Trustee within 10 days after demand for all such reasonable fees, costs and expenses, together with interest thereon at the rate equal to the Trustee's cost of funds from the date payable until the date repaid in full. SECTION 5.05. No Impairment of Remedies. If the Trustee may, under applicable legal requirements, proceed to realize its benefits under this Agreement, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, the Trustee may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of the rights and remedies of the Trustee under this Agreement. If, in the exercise of any of such rights and remedies, the Trustee shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including any right to enter a deficiency judgment against such Grantor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable legal requirements pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, such Grantor hereby consents to such action by the Trustee and, to the extent permitted by applicable legal requirements, waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the Trustee shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation, indemnification or reimbursement which such Grantor might otherwise have had but for such action by the Trustee or the terms herein. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Trustee to seek a deficiency judgment against any of the parties to any of the Security Documents shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable legal requirements, impair such Grantor's obligation hereunder. In the event the Trustee shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by legal requirements or this Agreement, the Trustee may bid all or less than the amount of the Note Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable legal requirements, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether the Trustee or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Note Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Note Obligations. SECTION 5.06. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Actionable Default, the proceeds of any sale of or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 3 of the Intercreditor Agreement and Article 10 of the Indenture. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency. SECTION 5.07. Foreclosure Waiver. To the extent permitted by legal requirements, each Grantor waives the posting of any bond otherwise required of the Trustee in connection with any judicial process or proceeding to obtain possession of, replevy, attach, or levy upon the Collateral, to enforce any judgment or other security for its Note Obligations, to enforce any judgment or other court order entered in favor of the Trustee, or to enforce by specific performance, temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, this Agreement or any other agreement or document between any Grantor, the Trustee and the Secured Parties. Each Grantor further agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Trustee may elect to nonjudicially or judicially foreclose against any real or personal property security it holds for the Note Obligations or any part thereof, or to exercise any other remedy against any Grantor or any other Person, any security or any guarantor, even if the effect of that action is to deprive such Grantor of the right to collect reimbursement from any Person for any sums paid by such Grantor to the Trustee or any Secured Party. SECTION 5.08. Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise from time to time in the Trustee's discretion, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument to enforce all rights of such Grantor, including the right to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and on behalf of and in the name of the Grantor or, at the option of the Trustee, in the name of the Trustee, with the same force and effect as the Grantor could do if this Agreement had not been made. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 5.08 is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. SECTION 5.09. Voting. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) except as otherwise provided under the covenants and agreements relating to the Collateral in this Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the Indenture, the Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Indenture; provided, such Grantor shall give the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right; it being understood, however, that neither the voting by such Grantor of any Collateral for, or such Grantor's consent to, the election of directors (or similar governing body) at a regularly scheduled annual or other meeting of stockholders or with respect to incidental matters at any such meeting, nor such Grantor's consent to or approval of any action otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the Indenture, shall be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Indenture, and no notice of any such voting or consent need be given to the Trustee; and (b) the Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Grantor all proxies, and other instruments as such Grantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting rights when and to the extent which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (a) above. SECTION 5.10. Reasonable Care. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith. SECTION 5.11. The Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in acting under and by virtue of this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, benefits, and immunities provided to it in the Indenture; provided, however, that any forbearance by the Trustee in exercising any right or remedy available to it under the Indenture shall not give rise to a defense on the part of the Grantors with respect to the Trustee's exercise of any right or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise afforded by applicable law.
