If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without notice to Debtor, the Administrative Agent (as directed pursuant to the Agreement Among Noteholders) shall have the right to set off against and to appropriate and apply to the unpaid balance of all the Notes and all other Obligations, any obligations owing to Debtor or any Guarantor by Holder and any funds held in any manner for the account of Debtor or any Guarantor by Holder, and the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Holder is hereby granted a security interest in and Lien on all such obligations and funds for such purpose. Such set-off rights shall exist whether or not the Administrative Agent or Holder shall have made any demand under any of the Notes or other Obligations and whether the Notes or such other Obligations are matured or unmatured.
(c)    Debtor and each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements in which the Debtor or such Guarantor is listed as "debtor" and the Administrative Agent is list as "secured party" and the description of Collateral contains the words "all assets of Debtor" or "all personal property of Debtor" or words with similar effect, excluding however all Excluded Assets.
2.    Inspection. The Debtor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) keep adequate books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries in all material respects are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities and (b) subject to Confidentiality Obligations (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) permit any representatives designated by Administrative Agent (including employees of Administrative Agent or any consultants, auditors, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by Administrative Agent) to visit and inspect any of the properties of Debtor and any of





its respective Subsidiaries, to conduct audits, valuations and/or field examinations of Debtor and any of its respective Subsidiaries, to inspect, copy and take extracts from its and their financial and accounting records, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with its and their officers and independent accountants and auditors, all upon reasonable prior written notice and at such reasonable times during normal business hours (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and as often as may reasonably be requested and in no event no more than twice in any twelve consecutive month period; provided, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the cost of only one (1) such visit and inspection per calendar year shall be borne by the Debtor; provided, further, that, if required by applicable law or when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may do any of the foregoing at the expense of Debtor at any time and without advance notice and as many times as Administrative Agent may require. The Debtor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, after exercising its rights of inspection, may prepare and distribute certain reports pertaining to the Debtor’s assets for internal use by Administrative Agent.
3.    Insurance. Debtor and each Guarantor will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance policies with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and businesses of Debtor and such Guarantor and in such amounts as may customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances by businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor and each Guarantor will maintain or cause to be maintained (A) flood insurance with respect to each flood hazard property that is located in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, in each case in compliance with any applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and (B) replacement value casualty insurance on the Collateral under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and covering such risks as are at all times carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar businesses. Each such policy of insurance (other than any business interruption insurance policies) shall (1) name the Administrative Agent as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear, and (2) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a lender’s loss payable clause or endorsement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, that names the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Holders as the lender's loss payee thereunder.
4.    Preservation and Protection of Security Interest.

Debtor and each Guarantor shall each do all such other acts and things and shall each execute and deliver all such other instruments and documents (including, without limitation, further security agreements, pledge agreements, pledges, endorsements, assignments and notices) as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or reasonably advisable from time to time to perfect and preserve the junior priority of Administrative Agent's security interest in the Collateral, as a perfected security interest in the Collateral. Debtor and each Guarantor will at its expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of this





Note or the Security Agreement, including, without limitation: (A) executing and filing (to the extent, if any, that Debtor's or any Guarantor’s signature is required thereon) or authenticating the filing of, such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, as may be necessary or desirable or that Administrative Agent may request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest purported to be created hereby, (B) furnishing to the Administrative Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail, and (C) taking all actions required by any applicable law in any relevant UCC jurisdiction or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement. The Administrative Agent, and its officers, employees and authorized agents, or any of them, are hereby irrevocably appointed the attorneys-in-fact of Debtor and each Guarantor to do, at Debtor's and such Guarantor’s expense, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to preserve, perfect and continue perfected the Secured Parties’ security interest in the Collateral (including, without limitation, the signing of financing, continuation or other similar statements and notices on behalf of Debtor), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not have the right to exercise such power of attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Debtor and each Guarantor will, upon the Administrative Agent's reasonable written request, execute any documents and take any commercially reasonable actions (including all actions described above in this paragraph) necessary to grant and perfect a security interest in favor of the Secured Parties in any assets of Debtor or any Guarantor included in the Collateral.
5.    Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Agreement Among Noteholders, any Collateral (including Proceeds of the Collateral) held, received or realized upon at any time by Administrative Agent shall be applied as follows:
