(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights or remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further Agent may, without demand and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each Debtor hereby waives to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, at any securities exchange or broker’s board or at Agent’s office or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Agent deems advisable, in its discretion. In the exercise of any such remedies, Agent may sell the Collateral as a unit even though the sales price thereof may be in excess of the amount remaining unpaid on the Obligations. Also, if less than all the Collateral is sold, Agent shall have no duty to marshal or apportion the part of the Collateral so sold as between the Debtors, or any of them, but may sell and deliver any or all of the Collateral without regard to which of the Debtors are the owners thereof. In addition to all other sums due any Secured Party hereunder, each Debtor shall pay the Secured Parties all costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in obtaining, liquidating or enforcing payment of Collateral or the Obligations or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against any Secured Party or any Debtor concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Agreement or the Collateral or the Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the Bankruptcy Code (or any successor statute). Any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is delivered in accordance with Section 10.4 at least 10 Business Days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice; provided, however, no notification need be given to a Debtor if such Debtor has signed, after an Event of Default hereunder has occurred, a statement renouncing any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. Any Secured Party may be the purchaser at any such sale. Each Debtor hereby waives all of its rights of redemption from any such sale. Agent may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed or Agent may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place. Agent has no obligation to prepare the Collateral for sale. Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral or any part thereof, including disclaimers of any warranties of title or the like, and each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the absence of such warranties shall not render the disposition commercially unreasonable. (e) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, (i) Agent shall have the right to take physical possession of any and all of the Collateral and anything found therein, the right for that purpose to enter without legal process any premises where the Collateral may be found (provided such entry be done lawfully), and the right to maintain such possession on the relevant Debtor’s premises (each Debtor hereby agreeing, to the extent it may lawfully do so, to lease such premises without cost or expense to Agent or its designee if Agent so requests) or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other places as Agent may desire, (ii) Agent shall have the right to direct any intermediary at any time holding any Investment Property or other Collateral, or any issuer thereof, to deliver such Collateral or any part thereof to Agent and/or to liquidate such Collateral or any part thereof and deliver the proceeds thereof to Agent (including, without limitation, the right to deliver a notice of control with respect to any Collateral held in a securities account or commodities account and deliver all entitlement orders with respect thereto), (iii) Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights with respect to all Deposit Accounts of each Debtor, including, without limitation, the right to direct the disposition of the funds in each Deposit Account and to collect, withdraw, and receive all amounts due or to become due or payable thereunder, (iv) each Debtor shall, upon Agent’s demand, promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably designated by Agent, and (v) Agent may also direct the Debtors to transfer all or any part of the servicing of Receivables and other Collateral to a backup servicer or successor servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement on terms and conditions acceptable to Agent and exercise, or cause any backup servicer or successor servicer to exercise, any and all rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to such Collateral. If Agent exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, each Debtor shall also at its expense perform any and all other steps requested by Agent to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security interest of Agent, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining Collateral records. Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. (f) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, all rights of the Debtors to exercise the voting and/or consensual powers which they are entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i) hereof and/or to receive and retain the distributions which they are entitled to receive and retain pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(ii) hereof, shall, at the option of Agent, cease and thereupon become vested in Agent, which, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, shall then be entitled solely and exclusively to exercise all voting and other consensual powers pertaining to the Investment Property and/or to receive and retain the distributions which such Debtor would otherwise have been authorized to retain pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(ii) hereof and shall then be entitled solely and exclusively to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if Agent were the absolute owner thereof including, without limitation, the rights to exchange, at its discretion, all Investment Property or any part thereof upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the respective issuer thereof or upon the exercise by or on behalf of any such issuer or Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Investment Property and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver the Investment Property or any part thereof with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Agent may determine. In the event Agent in good faith believes any of the Collateral constitutes restricted securities within the meaning of any applicable securities laws, any disposition thereof in compliance with such laws shall not render the disposition commercially unreasonable. (g) EACH DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT WITH RESPECT TO ITS INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT: (I) TO VOTE SUCH INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO AND (II) TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS OR OTHER EQUITY HOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS OR OTHER EQUITY HOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF). EACH DEBTOR HEREBY RATIFIES AND APPROVES ALL ACTS OF ANY SUCH ATTORNEY AND AGREES THAT NEITHER AGENT NOR ANY SUCH ATTORNEY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR FOR ANY ERROR OF JUDGMENT OR MISTAKE OF FACT OR LAW OTHER THAN SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING POWERS OF ATTORNEY AND PROXY, BEING COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, ARE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL PAYMENT IN FULL. (h) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Parties a royalty-free irrevocable license and right to use all of such Debtor’s patents, patent applications, patent licenses, trademarks, trademark registrations, trademark licenses, trade names, trade styles, and similar intangibles in connection with any foreclosure or other realization by Agent or the Secured Parties on all or any part of the Collateral to the extent permitted by law. The license and right granted the Secured Parties hereby shall be without any royalty or fee or charge whatsoever. (i) The powers conferred upon the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect their interest in the Collateral and shall not impose on them any duty to exercise such powers. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which Agent accords its own property, consisting of similar type assets, it being understood, however, that Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking any action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral, or (iii) initiating any action to protect the Collateral or any part thereof against the possibility of a decline in market value. This Agreement constitutes an assignment of rights only and not an assignment of any duties or obligations of the Debtors in any way related to the Collateral, and Agent shall have no duty or obligation to discharge any such duty or obligation. Neither any Secured Party nor any party acting as attorney for any Secured Party shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, in no event shall they be liable for any punitive, exemplary, indirect or consequential damages. (j) Failure by Agent to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or any other agreement between any Debtor and Agent or provided by law, or delay by Agent in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver; and no waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated. The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which any Secured Party may have. For purposes of this Agreement, an Event of Default shall be construed as continuing after its occurrence until the same is waived in writ
