or interests, (ii) enter into any license agreements or (iii) fail to take any action, or permit any others (including licensees) to fail to take any action, which would customarily be taken by a Person in the same business and in similar circumstances as such Grantor.

(d)           Such Grantor shall not permit any Equipment or Inventory to be in the possession of a third party unless written notice of the Lender’s security interest therein has been given to such third party, and such third party has acknowledged in writing that it is holding such Collateral for the benefit of the Lender, such notice and acknowledgement to be in form

 

acceptable to the Lender; provided, however, that no such notice and acknowledgment shall be required to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the Equipment and Inventory that the Grantors have permitted to be in possession of any and all third parties does not exceed $100,000.

 

(e)           Such Grantor shall not withdraw as a member of any Pledged Entity or a partner in any partnership with respect to which such Grantor has pledged any interest, or file or pursue or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, cause a dissolution or liquidation of or with respect to any Pledged Entity or any such partnership or seek a partition of any property of any Pledged Entity or any such partnership.

 

(f)           Such Grantor shall promptly notify the Lender in writing in the event that such Grantor becomes a licensee of any Copyright, Mark or Patent, other than those set forth on Schedule B, that is necessary for its business and shall execute any and all documents, instruments or agreements and perform any and all actions reasonably requested by the Lender to give an assignment thereof including procuring the consent of the licensor thereto.

 

13.  Lender’s Rights Regarding Collateral.  At any time and from time to time, the Lender may, to the extent necessary or desirable to protect the security hereunder, but the Lender shall not be obligated to:  (a) upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during usual business hours (whether or not a Default has occurred), itself or through its representatives, visit and inspect each Grantor’s properties and examine and make abstracts from any of its books and records at any reasonable time and as often as may reasonably be desired and discuss the business, operations, properties and financial and other condition of such Grantor with, and be advised as to the same by, officers of such Grantor or (b) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the expense of the Grantors, subject to the Subordination Agreement, perform any obligation of any Grantor under this Agreement.  At any time and from time to time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the expense of the Grantors, the Lender may, to the extent necessary or desirable to protect the security hereunder, but the Lender shall not be obligated to:  (i) notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned as security to the Lender; (ii) at any time and from time to time request from obligors on the Collateral, in the name of any Grantor or in the name of the Lender, information concerning the Collateral and the amounts owing thereon; and (iii) direct obligors under the contracts included in the Collateral to which any Grantor is a party to direct their performance to the Lender.  Each Grantor shall keep proper books and records and accounts in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP and all applicable laws shall be made of all material dealings and transactions pertaining to the Collateral.  The Lender shall at all reasonable times have full access to any and all of the Grantors’ books and records pertaining to the Collateral.  The Lender shall not be under any duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to preserve any rights of or against any prior or other parties in connection with the Collateral, to exercise any voting rights or managerial rights with respect to any Collateral or to make or give any presentments for payment, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor or notices of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Collateral or the Obligations.  The Lender shall not be under any duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to protect or preserve the Collateral or any rights of any Grantor therein, or to make collections or enforce payment thereon, or to participate in any foreclosure or other proceeding in connection therewith.  Nothing contained herein shall constitute an assumption by the Lender

 

of any obligations of any Grantor under any contracts assigned hereunder unless the Lender shall have given written notice to the counterparty to such assigned contract of the Lender’s intention to assume such contract.  Each Grantor shall continue to be liable for performance of its obligations under such contracts.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to make the Lender liable as a stockholder of any corporation, member of any Pledged Entity or partner in any partnership with respect to which any Grantor has pledged its interests in Pledged Securities, Pledged Limited Liability Company Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests, and the Lender by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall not have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a stockholder of any such corporation, member of any such Pledged Entity or partner in such partnership.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Lender shall become the absolute owner of any Pledged Securities or Pledged Limited Liability Company Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Lender, any such corporation, any such Pledged Entity or any such partnership and/or any Grantor.  Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender, by accepting this Agreement, does not intend to become a stockholder of any corporation, member of any Pledged Entity or partner in any partnership with respect to which any Grantor has pledged its interests in any Pledged Securities, Pledged Limited Liability Company Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests, or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to any Grantor or any such corporation, Pledged Entity or partnership, either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred.

 

14.      Collections on the Collateral.  Except as provided to the contrary in the Loan Agreement, each Grantor shall have the right to use and to continue to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of all of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Lender, each Grantor’s right to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of the Collateral and to use or dispose of such collections and proceeds shall terminate, and any and all dividends, proceeds and collections, including all partial or total prepayments, then held or thereafter received on or on account of the Collateral will be held or received by such Grantor in trust for the Lender and immediately delivered in kind to the Lender (duly endorsed to the Lender, if required), to be applied to the Obligations or held as Collateral, as the Lender shall elect.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender shall have the right at all times to receive, receipt for, endorse, assign, deposit and deliver, in the name of the Lender or in the name of any Grantor, any and all checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the Collateral; and each Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise, the general or special endorsement of such Grantor, in such manner as the Lender shall deem advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been delivered to or obtained by the Lender without appropriate endorsement, and the Lender and any collecting bank are hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be a sufficient, valid and effective endorsement by such Grantor, to the same extent as though it were manually executed by the duly authorized representatives of such Grantor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what authority such endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or responsibility as to such matters, and

 

each Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest or dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with respect to any such instrument.

 

15.  Possession of Collateral by Lender.  All the Collateral now, heretofore or hereafter delivered to the Lender shall be held by the Lender in its possession, custody and control.  Any or all of the Collateral delivered to the Lender constituting cash or cash equivalents shall, except as otherwise set forth in any Loan Document or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written request of any Grantor, be held in an interest-bearing account with the Lender, and shall be invested in investments permitted by the Loan Agreement.  Nothing herein shall obligate the Lender to obtain any particular return thereon.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in the Lender’s possession, custody or control, the Lender may use, operate and consume the Collateral, whether for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the Collateral, or for the purpose of performing any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, or otherwise, and, subject to the terms of Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement, any or all of the Collateral delivered to the Lender constituting cash or cash equivalents shall be applied by the Lender to payment of the Obligations or held as Collateral, as the Lender shall elect.  The Lender may at any time deliver or redeliver the Collateral or any part thereof to any Grantor, and the receipt of any of the same by such Grantor shall be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and the Lender thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility arising after such delivery to any Grantor.  So long as the Lender exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, the Lender shall not have any liability for any loss of or damage to any Collateral, and in no event shall the Lender have liability for any diminution in value of the Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events.  The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in the possession, custody or control of the Lender is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Lender accords similar property for its own account, it being understood that neither the Lender nor the Lenders shall have any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Lender or any Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

 

16.  Remedies.

 

(a)           Rights Upon Event of Default.  Subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantors shall be in default hereunder and the Lender shall have, in any jurisdiction where enforcement is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies that the Lender may have under this Agreement and under and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws or in equity, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any such jurisdiction in effect at that time, and in addition the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without notice to any Grantor except such notice as may be specifically required by applicable law and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:  (i) to foreclose the Liens created hereunder or under any other Loan Document by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; (ii) to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of securing, protecting, inventorying, appraising,

 

inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing, preparing, processing, taking possession of or removing the same; (iii) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as shall be commercially reasonable; (iv) to notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to the Lender and that all payments thereon, or performance with respect thereto, are to be made directly and exclusively to the Lender; (v) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, distributions, interest, principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the Collateral; (vi) to enter into any extension, reorganization, disposition, merger or consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith the Lender may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept other property in exchange for the Collateral as the Lender deems appropriate; (vii) to settle, compromise or release, on terms acceptable to the Lender, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral and/or any disputes with respect thereto; (viii) to extend the time of payment, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in connection with the Collateral in the name of the Lender or in the name of any Grantor; (ix) to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or all of the Collateral and take or bring, in the name of the Lender or in the name of any Grantor, any and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed necessary or desirable by the Lender to effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral, including, any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure thereof or thereon, and each Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral or any other action taken by the Lender which may release any obligor from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and any money or other property received by the Lender in exchange for or on account of the Collateral, whether representing collections or proceeds of Collateral, and whether resulting from voluntary payments or foreclosure proceedings or other legal action taken by Lender or the Grantor may be applied by the Lender, without notice to such Grantor, to the Obligations in such order and manner as the Lender in its sole discretion shall determine; (x) to insure, protect and preserve the Collateral; (xi) to exercise all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under any of the other Loan Documents; and (xii) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located, the Collateral and any and all documents, instruments, files and records, and any receptacles and cabinets containing the same, relating to the Collateral, and the Lender may, at the cost and expense of each Grantor, use such of its supplies, equipment, facilities and space at its places of business as may be necessary or appropriate to properly administer, process, store, control, prepare for sale or disposition and/or sell or dispose of the Collateral or to properly administer and control the handling of collections and realizations thereon, and the Lender shall be deemed to have a rent-free tenancy of any premises of such Grantor for such purposes and for such periods of time as reasonably required by the Lender.  Each Grantor will, at the Lender’s request, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at places which the Lender may designate, whether at the premises of such Grantor or elsewhere, and will make available to the Lender, free of cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of such Grantor for the purpose of the Lender’s taking possession of the Collateral or storing the same or removing or putting the Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of the same.  The Lender has no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

 

(b)           Possession by Lender.  Subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender also shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be

 

appointed by a court in accordance with the provisions of applicable law (and each Grantor hereby expressly consents, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to the appointment of such a receiver), and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, to operate the business of any Grantor, by, inter alia, taking possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to collect and receive the rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds thereof, pending the exercise of any and all other rights and remedies available to the Lender under this Agreement and/or at law or in equity.  The operation of any Grantor’s business and the taking possession of the Collateral by the Lender shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.  The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said court.

 

(c)           Sale of Collateral.  Any public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of Lender, or at any Grantor’s place of business, or at any other place permitted by applicable law, and without the necessity of the Collateral’s being within the view of prospective purchasers.  The Lender may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine provided such sale is commercially reasonable, and each Grantor expressly waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any Collateral.  The Lender or any Person acting on the Lender’s behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other disposition.  In addition to the other rights of the Lender hereunder, subject to the Subordination Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Lender a license or other right to use, without charge, but only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor’s labels, copyrights, patents, rights of use of any name, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, including, the Copyrights, the Patents and the Marks, in advertising for sale and selling any Collateral.  The Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

(d)           Notice of Sale.  Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Lender will give each Grantor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time on or after which any private sale thereof is to be made.  The requirement of reasonable notice conclusively shall be met if such notice is mailed, certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address set forth in the Loan Agreement, or delivered or otherwise sent to such Grantor, at least ten days before the date of the sale.  Each Grantor expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right to receive notice of any public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Obligations except as expressly provided for in this paragraph.  The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Collateral may have been given.  The Lender may, without notice or publication, except as required by applicable law, adjourn the sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice (except as required by applicable law), be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.

 

 

(e)           Private Sales.  With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, partnership interests, membership interests, joint venture interests or the like, and whether or not any of such Collateral has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable laws, subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell all or any part of such Collateral at private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Lender may deem necessary or advisable in order that the sale may be lawfully conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender may (i) approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  In the event that any such Collateral is sold at private sale, each Grantor agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law that if such Collateral is sold for a price which is commercially reasonable, then (A) such Grantor shall not be entitled to a credit against the Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (B) neither the Lender nor the Lenders shall incur any liability or responsibility to such Grantor in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale.  Each Grantor recognizes that a ready market may not exist for such Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange, and that a sale by the Lender of any such Collateral for an amount less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the issuer’s assets minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of such Collateral or Collateral that is privately traded.

 

(f)           Title of Purchasers.  Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder, the Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right upon the part of any Grantor or any other Person claiming through any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and 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.  If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Lender shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to the Obligations until such amount actually is received by the Lender, and any Collateral so sold may be retained by the Lender until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  The Lender shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Collateral may be sold again.

 

(g)           Disposition of Proceeds of Sale.  The proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 11 of the Loan Agreement, subject to the Subordination Agreement.

 

(h)           Certain Waivers.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Lender and the Lenders arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof, except to the extent any such claims, damages and awards arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender or the Lenders or their agents or attorneys-in-fact.

 

 

(i)             Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies provided under this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any other rights and remedies provided by law or equity.

 

(j)             Deficiency.  If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to this Section 16 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

 

17.   Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, effective upon the occurrence and during continuance of an Event of Default, 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 Lender’s sole and absolute discretion to do any of the following acts or things:  (a) to do all acts and things and to execute all documents necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and to preserve, maintain and protect the Collateral; (b) to do any and every act which such Grantor is obligated to do under this Agreement; (c) to prepare, sign, file and record, in such Grantor’s name, any financing statement covering the Collateral; (d) to endorse and transfer the Collateral upon foreclosure by the Lender; (e) to grant or issue an exclusive or nonexclusive license under the Copyrights, the Patents or the Marks to anyone upon foreclosure by the Lender; (f) to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Copyrights, the Patents or the Marks to anyone upon foreclosure by the Lender; and (g) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Lender may reasonably deem necessary or desirable for the protection or enforcement of any of the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Copyrights, the Patents and the Marks; provided, however, that the Lender shall be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and neither the Lender nor the Lenders shall have any liability or responsibility for any act or omission (other than the Lender’s, the Lenders’ or their agents’ or attorneys-in-fact’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) taken with respect thereto.

 

18.    Costs and Expenses.  Each Grantor agrees to pay to the Lender all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Lender in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Agreement, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof.  All reasonable costs and expenses, including, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Lender in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement (including, the right to perform any obligation of any Grantor), or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be secured hereby and shall become a part of the Obligations and shall be due and payable to the Lender by each Grantor on demand therefor.

 

19.    Transfers and Other Liens.  Each Grantor agrees that, except as specifically permitted under the Loan Agreement and under Section 9 and Section 10 hereof, it will not (i) sell, assign, exchange, lease, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or contract to sell, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, and each Grantor acknowledges that the Lender does not authorize any of the foregoing.  To the extent any Collateral permitted to be sold or otherwise disposed of is sold or disposed of, such sale or disposition shall be for fair market value.

 

 

20.   Future Grantors.  The Borrower is required to cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries formed or acquired after the Closing Date to execute and deliver to the Lender, concurrently with the formation or acquisition thereof, a joinder to this Agreement and the Subsidiary Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached to the Subsidiary Guarantee.

 

21.   Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents.  Each Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Grantor otherwise may have against the Lender or others, or against any Collateral.  If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be unenforceable under applicable law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

22.   Indemnity.  Each Grantor hereby indemnifies the Lender and the Lenders from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result from the Lender’s, or their agents’ or attorneys-in-fact’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

23.    Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom (other than supplements to the Schedules hereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and made in accordance with Section 13.12 of the Loan Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

24.   Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the manner, and to the respective addresses, set forth in Section 13.6 of the Loan Agreement.

 

25.    Continuing Security Interest; Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations) and the termination or expiration of the Term Loan Commitment, (ii) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the benefit of the Lender, and any successor Lender subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement.  Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans, or the Term Loan Commitment or participations therein, or any rights in Collateral held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender or Lender herein or otherwise.  Nothing set forth herein or in any other Loan Document is intended or shall be construed to give to any other party any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Collateral.  Each Grantor’s successors and assigns shall include, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession thereof or therefor, provided that, none of the rights or obligations of such Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred.

 

 

26.    Release of Grantor.

 

(a)           This Agreement and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder and all security interests granted hereby shall be released and terminated when all Obligations (other than contingent obligations) have been paid in full in cash and when all Commitments and all Letters of Credit have expired.  Upon such release and termination, all rights in and to the Collateral shall automatically revert to the Grantors, and the Lender and the Lenders shall promptly return any Pledged Collateral in their possession to the Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the Collateral to the Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to evidence or document the release of the interests of the Lender arising under this Agreement, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, the Grantors.

 

(b)           The Lender agrees that if an Asset Disposition permitted under the UB Credit Agreement occurs with respect to any Collateral, the Lender shall release such Collateral that is the subject of such Asset Disposition to the applicable Grantor free and clear of the Lien under this Agreement.

 

27.   GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW RULES).

 

28.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier (or other electronic transmission) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
