Any Lender and Secured Party Representative may, but is not required, to take such actions from time to time as such Lender or the Secured Party Representative deems reasonably appropriate to maintain or protect the Collateral. Each Lender and the Secured Party Representative shall have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if such Lender or Secured Party Representative takes such action as the Borrower shall reasonably request in writing which is not inconsistent with any Lender’s status as a secured party, but the failure of any Lender or the Secured Party Representative to comply with any such request shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care; provided, however, each Lender’s or Secured Party Representative’s responsibility for the safekeeping of the Collateral shall (a) be deemed reasonable if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which any Lender accords its own property, and (b) not extend to matters beyond the control of any Lender or Secured Party Representative, including acts of God, war, insurrection, riot or governmental actions. In addition, any failure of any Lender or Secured Party Representative to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior or third parties, or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Collateral, not so requested by the Borrower, shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral. The Borrower shall have the sole responsibility for taking such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to preserve all rights of the Borrower and each Lender in the Collateral against prior or third parties.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where Collateral consists in whole or in part of securities, the Borrower represents to, and covenants with, each Lender that the Borrower has made arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the securities (including rights to convert or subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and the Borrower agrees that neither any Lender nor the Secured Party Representative shall have any responsibility or liability for informing the Borrower of any such or other changes or potential changes or for taking any action or omitting to take any action with respect thereto.

3.6 Collateral in the Possession of a Warehouseman or Bailee. If any of the Collateral at any time is in the possession of a warehouseman or bailee, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Secured Party Representative thereof, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain a Collateral Access Agreement. No Lender shall give any instructions to such warehouseman or bailee pursuant to such Collateral Access Agreement unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by the Borrower with respect to the warehouseman or bailee.

3.7 Commercial Tort Claims. If the Borrower shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, the Borrower shall promptly, upon knowledge thereof, notify the Lenders and the Secured Party Representative in writing signed by the Borrower of the details thereof and at the request of any Lender grant to each Lender, for its own benefit and as agent for its Affiliates, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, and shall execute any amendments hereto deemed reasonably necessary by any Lender to perfect the security interest of the Lenders in such Commercial Tort Claim.

3.8 Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If the Borrower 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 Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Secured Party Representative thereof and, at the request of any Lender or the Secured Party Representative, shall take such action as such Lender or the Secured Party Representative may reasonably request to vest in the Lenders or the Secured Party Representative 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. The Lenders or the Secured Party Representative, as the case may be, will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to each Lender, and so long as such procedures will not result in any Lender’s or the Secured Party Representative’s loss of control, for the Borrower to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to make without loss of control.

Section 5 AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

5.1 Borrower Existence. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, at all times preserve and maintain its (a) existence and good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization, and (b) qualification to do business and good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary (other than such jurisdictions in which the failure to be qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), and shall at all times continue as a going concern in the same business or substantially similar business to the business which the Borrower or the Subsidiary, as applicable, is presently conducting.

5.2 Compliance With Laws. The Borrower shall comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, in all respects, including the conduct of its business and operations and the use of its properties and assets, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, decrees, orders, judgments, licenses and permits, except where failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3 Payment of Taxes and Liabilities. The Borrower shall pay, and cause each Subsidiary to pay, and discharge, before penalties accrue thereon, all property taxes and other taxes, and all governmental charges or levies against it, as well as claims of any kind which, if unpaid, could become a lien on any of its property; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Borrower or any Subsidiary to pay any such tax or charge so long as it shall contest the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

5.4 Maintain Property. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, at all times maintain, preserve and keep its properties and equipment, including any Collateral, in good repair, working order and condition, normal wear and tear and casualty and condemnation events excepted, and shall from time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, and additions thereto so that at all times the efficiency thereof shall be fully preserved and maintained in all material respects. The Borrower shall, and shall each of Subsidiary to, permit any Lender to examine and inspect such plant, properties and equipment at all reasonable times.

5.5 Maintain Insurance. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, at all times maintain, with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to each Lender, such insurance coverage as may be required by any law or governmental regulation or court decree or order applicable to it and such other insurance, to such extent and against such hazards and liabilities, including employers’, public and professional liability risks, as is customarily maintained by companies similarly situated, and shall have insured amounts no less than, and deductibles no higher than, are reasonably acceptable to the Lenders. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, furnish to the Lenders and Secured Party Representative a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of all insurance maintained by the Borrower and the Subsidiary, as applicable, which shall be reasonably acceptable in all respects to each Lender. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, cause each issuer of an insurance policy to provide each Lender with an endorsement (a) showing each Lender and the Secured Party Representative as lender’s loss payee with respect to each policy of property or casualty insurance; (b) showing each Lender and the Secured Party Representative as additional insured with respect to each liability insurance policy; and (c) providing that thirty (30) days notice will be given to the Secured Party Representative prior to any cancellation of, material reduction or change in coverage provided by or other material modification to such policy. In the event the Borrower or a Subsidiary either fails to provide the Lenders and Secured Party Representative with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Section or at any time hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above, or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then any Lender, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by the Borrower hereunder, may at any time (but shall be under no obligation to so act), obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto, which each Lender deems advisable. This insurance coverage (i) may, but need not, protect the Borrower’s or a Subsidiary’s interests in such property, and (ii) may not pay any claim made by, or against, the Borrower or a Subsidiary in connection with such property. The Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, may later cancel any such insurance purchased by any Lender, but only after providing the Lenders and Secured Party Representative with evidence that the Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained the insurance coverage required by this Section. If any Lender purchases such insurance, the Borrower will be responsible for the reasonable costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges that may be imposed with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The reasonable costs of the insurance may be added to the principal amount of the Term Notes. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of the insurance the Borrower or any Subsidiary may be able to obtain on its own.

Obligations which is continuing uncured and unwaived, the Borrower shall, upon request of the Secured Party Representative, execute and deliver to the requesting party any proxies, stock powers or assignments with respect to the Pledged Membership Interests or endorse any instruments or chattel paper with respect to Pledged Membership Interests as so requested in order to enforce its rights under Section 9.5(g).

The Borrower hereby waives any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands in connection with the enforcement each Lender’s and the Secured Party Representative’s rights under the Loan Documents, and hereby consents to, and waives notice of release, with or without consideration, of any Borrower or any Guarantor or of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary. In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) Possession and Assembly of Collateral. Any Lender or the Secured Party Representative may, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which any Lender or the Secured Party Representative may already have in its possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may at any time enter into any of the Borrower’s premises where any of the Collateral may be or is supposed to be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and each Lender and Secured Party Representative shall have the right to store and conduct a sale of the same in any of the Borrower’s premises without cost to any Lender or the Secured Party Representative as applicable. At any Lender’s or Secured Party Representative’s request, the Borrower will, at the Borrower’s sole expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lenders or the Secured Party Representative, as the case may be, at a place or places to be designated by the Secured Party Representative which is reasonably convenient to the Lenders or the Secured Party Representative, as the case may be, and the Borrower.

(b) Sale of Collateral. The Secured Party Representative (on behalf of the Lenders) may sell any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party Representative may deem reasonably proper, and any Lender may purchase any or all of the Collateral at any such sale. The Borrower acknowledges that the Secured Party Representative may be unable to effect a public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral because of certain legal and/or practical restrictions and provisions which may be applicable to the Collateral and, therefore, may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers. The Borrower consents to any such private sale so made even though at places and upon terms less favorable than if the Collateral were sold at public sale. No Lender nor the Secured Party Representative shall have any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Secured Party Representative may apply the net proceeds, after deducting all reasonable costs, expenses, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees incurred or paid at any time in the collection, protection and sale of the Collateral and the Obligations, to the payment of the Obligations, in such order of application as the Secured Party Representative may, from time to time, elect, returning the excess proceeds, if any, to the Borrower. The Borrower shall remain liable for any amount remaining unpaid after such application, with interest at the rate provided in the Loan Documents. Any notification of intended disposition of the Collateral required by law shall be conclusively deemed reasonably and properly given if given by any Lender or Secured Party Representative at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of such disposition. The Borrower hereby confirms, approves and ratifies all acts and deeds of each Lender and/or the Secured Party Representative relating to the foregoing, and each part thereof, and expressly waives any and all claims of any nature, kind or description which it has or may hereafter have against any Lender or the Secured Party Representative or its representatives, by reason of taking, selling or collecting any portion of the Collateral. The Borrower consents to releases of the Collateral at any time (including prior to default) and to sales of the Collateral in groups, parcels or portions, or as an entirety, as any Lender or Secured Party Representative shall deem reasonably appropriate. The Borrower expressly absolves each Lender and the Secured Party Representative from any loss or decline in market value of any Collateral by reason of delay in the enforcement or assertion or nonenforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

9.2 [RESERVED].

9.3 Standards for Exercising Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent that applicable law imposes duties on any Lender or the Secured Party Representative to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for any Lender or the Secured Party Representative (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by any Lender or the Secured Party Representative to prepare Collateral for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other party obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other parties obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature,

(f) to contact other parties, whether or not in the same business as the Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party Representative and/or any Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Party Representative and/or any Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed reasonably appropriate by the Secured Party Representative and/or any Lender to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party Representative and/or any Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by any Lender and/or the Secured Party Representative would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise of remedies against the Collateral by any Lender and/or the Secured Party Representative and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party Representative and/or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Borrower or to impose any duties on the Secured Party Representative or any Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.

9.4 UCC and Offset Rights. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Lender and the Secured Party Representative (on behalf of each Lender) may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to each of them under the UCC or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any other agreements between any Obligor and any Lender, and may, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the relevant Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, including reasonable costs of collection and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, and in such order of application as any Lender may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of any Lender to any Obligor, however created or arising, including balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Obligor in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to any Lender. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each Obligor, hereby waives the benefit of any law that would otherwise restrict or limit the Secured Party Representative or any Lender in the exercise of its right, which is hereby acknowledged, to appropriate any time hereafter any such indebtedness owing from any Lender to any Obligor.

9.5 Additional Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party Representative on behalf of the Lenders shall have the right and power to:

(a) instruct the Borrower, at its own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any account debtors, to make payment directly to the Lenders or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, of any amounts due or to become due thereunder,

or the Lenders or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of the Lenders, and/or of the assignment to the Lenders or the Secured Party Representative of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to the Lenders or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such party obligated thereon;

(b) enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder;

(c) take possession or control of any proceeds and products of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon;

(d) extend, renew or modify for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) the Obligations or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;

(e) grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Obligations, any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or to any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;

(f) transfer the whole or any part of securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of the Lenders, the Lenders’ nominee, or the Secured Party Representative without disclosing, if any Lender so desires, that such securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of the Lenders, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of such securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that any Lender or such nominee makes any further transfer of such securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether such Lender or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same;

(g) receive distributions related to the Pledged Membership Interests to apply against the Obligations and exercise any voting rights as to the Pledged Membership Interests and all other corporate rights and all conversion, exchange, subscription or other rights, privileges or options pertaining thereto as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, registration rights and any right to exchange any or all of the Pledged Membership Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, or other readjustment of the issuer thereof, or upon the exercise of any such issuer of any right, privilege, or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Membership Interests, but no Lender nor the Secured Party Representative shall have any duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing;

(h) make an election with respect to the Collateral under Section 1111 of the Bankruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that any such action of any Lender or the Secured Party Representative as set forth herein shall not, in any manner whatsoever, impair or affect the liability of the Borrower hereunder,

nor prejudice, waive, nor be construed to impair, affect, prejudice or waive any Lender’s or the Secured Party Representative’s rights and remedies at law, in equity or by statute, nor release, discharge, nor be construed to release or discharge, the Borrower, any guarantor or other party liable to any Lender for the Obligations; and

(i) at any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any of the other Obligations, or any Lender’s and/or the Secured Party Representative’s rights hereunder or relating to the Obligations.

The Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms whatever any Lender or the Secured Party Representative may do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that neither any Lender nor the Secured Party Representative shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral except to the extent resulting from the action, failure to act, negligence and/or misconduct of any Lender, the Secured Party Representative and/or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing.

9.6 Attorney-in-Fact. The Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints each Lender and the Secured Party Representative (and any officer of any Lender or any party designated by any Lender for that purpose) as the Borrower’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in the Borrower’s name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to (a) take such actions as are permitted in this Agreement, (b) execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as any Lender or the Secured Party Representative may reasonably require to perfect and preserve any Lender’s security interest in, and to enforce such interests in the Collateral, and (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, carry out any remedy provided for in this Agreement, including endorsing the Borrower’s name to checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment, and proceeds of the Collateral, executing change of address forms with the postmaster of the United States Post Office serving the address of the Borrower, changing the address of the Borrower to that of a Lender or the Secured Party Representative, opening all envelopes addressed to the Borrower and applying any payments contained therein to the Obligations. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. The Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Agreement.

9.7 No Marshaling. No Lender nor the Secured Party Representative shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Borrower hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any Lender’s and/or the Secured Party Representative’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

9.8 No Waiver. No Event of Default shall be waived by any Lender or the Secured Party Representative on behalf of the Lenders except in writing. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Secured Party Representative in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of any Lender or the Secured Party Representative to exercise any remedy available to such Lender or the Secured Party Representative in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. The Borrower agrees that in the event that the Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other agreements with any Lender, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to any Lender, and further agrees that each Lender shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

9.9 Assignment of Pledged Membership Interests. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the exercise of its remedies with respect to the Pledged Membership Interest, the Borrower agrees (a) the requirement set forth in Section 8.1 of each Operating Company Operating Agreement that the assignee may only become a member of the Operating Company in accordance with the terms of a written agreement between the member and the assignee and upon the assignee agreeing to be bound by the terms of the relevant Operating Company Operating Agreement is waived, (b) any notice requirements under Section 8.1 of each of the Operating Company Operating Agreements, as such section may be amended from time to time, are waived and (c) that the exercise of the Secured Party Representative and/or any Lender of its remedies with respect to some or all of the Pledged Membership Interest shall constitute, at the election of the Secured Party Representative, an assignment of Pledged Membership Interests in the relevant Operating Company to such Lender or the Secured Party Representative, that will substitute a Lender or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, as a member of the relevant Operating Company, and will, upon the election of the Secured Party Representative, entitle such Lender or the Secured Party Representative to voting rights and the right to participate in the management of the relevant Operating Company if the Secured Party Representative shall so elect.

Section 10 MISCELLANEOUS.

10.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (i) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; and (ii) are the final expression of the intentions of the Borrower and the Lenders. No promises, either expressed or implied, exist between the Borrower and the Lenders unless contained herein or therein. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents supersedes all negotiations, representations, warranties, commitments, term sheets, discussions, negotiations, offers or contracts (of any kind or nature, whether oral or written) prior to or contemporaneous with the execution hereof with respect to any matter, directly or indirectly related to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiations among the Lenders and the Borrower and the other parties thereto, and have been reviewed (or have had the opportunity to be reviewed) by counsel to all such parties, and are the products of all Parties. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be construed more strictly against any Lender merely because of such Lender’s involvement in their preparation.

10.2 Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by the Borrower and each Lender, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

10.3 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by any Obligor or the transfer to any Lender of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if any Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that any Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of any Lender, the Obligations shall automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

10.4 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE STATE AND/OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE ANY LENDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

10.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH LENDER AND THE BORROWER, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE IRREVOCABLY,

ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS, THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT OR COURSE OF DEALING IN WHICH ANY LENDER AND THE BORROWER ARE ADVERSE PARTIES, AND EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH LENDER GRANTING ANY FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATION TO THE BORROWER.

10.6 Assignability. Any Lender may at any time assign its rights in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Obligations, or any part thereof and transfer such Lender’s rights in any or all collateral for the Obligations, and such Lender thereafter shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such collateral. The Borrower may not sell or assign this Agreement, or any other agreement with any Lender or any portion thereof, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of each Lender. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Lender and the Borrower and their respective legal representatives and successors. All references herein to the Borrower shall be deemed to include any successors, whether immediate or remote.

10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be delivered and accepted in and shall be deemed to be contracts made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

10.8 Enforceability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by, unenforceable or invalid under any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be severable and be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.9 Survival of Borrower Representations. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein shall, notwithstanding any investigation by any Lender, be deemed material and relied upon by each Lender and shall survive the making and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be deemed to be continuing representations and warranties (except to the extent such representations or warranties expressly relate to an earlier date) until such time as the Borrower has fulfilled all of its Obligations to each Lender, and each Lender has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Lender, in extending financial accommodations to the Borrower, is expressly acting and relying on the aforesaid representations and warranties.

10.10 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in making payments of all amounts due to each Lender under this Agreement and in the performance and observance by the Borrower of each covenant, agreement, provision and term of this Agreement.

10.11 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement.

Each Lender hereby consents to the taking of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by the Secured Party Representative pursuant to this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that the Secured Party Representative shall have no obligation or liability to any person for any action or omission taken or omitted by the Secured Party Representative in good faith hereunder, and each Lender shall, on a proportionate basis in accordance with the proportion of debt owed to it by the Borrower, indemnify and hold the Secured Party Representative harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, expense or liability (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) which the Secured Party Representative may sustain as a result of any such action or omission by the Secured Party Representative hereunder.
