provided, however, that if any such Applicable Permits referred to in Section
2.1(b) or other Permits or any insurance policies referred to in Section
2.1(a)(iii) that by their terms or by operation of law would become void,
voidable, terminable or revocable or in respect of which Grantors would be
deemed to be in breach or default thereunder if pledged or assigned hereunder or
if a security interest therein were granted hereunder are expressly excepted and
excluded from the Lien and terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary to
avoid such voidness, voidability, terminability, revocability, breach or
default.
2.2 Delivery of Assigned Agreements. In order to effectuate the foregoing,
Grantors have heretofore delivered or concurrently with the delivery hereof are
delivering to Collateral Agent copies of each of the Assigned Agreements listed

2.3 Continuing Liability under Assigned Agreements and Applicable Permits.
Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding and except as
permitted under the
5
Credit Documents, Grantors shall remain liable under each of the Assigned

and provisions thereof, and Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or
liability under any of the Assigned Agreements or Applicable Permits by reason
of or arising out of this Agreement or any other document related thereto, nor
shall Collateral Agent be required or obligated in any manner to perform or
fulfill any obligations of the Sponsor Entities thereunder or to make any
payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by it, or present or file any claim, or take any action to collect or
enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to

2.4 Defaults under Assigned Agreements. If any default by any Grantor under
any of the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party shall occur and be
continuing, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), at its option
and without limiting any of Collateral Agent's rights under any Consent, remedy
any such default by giving three days' prior written notice of such intent to
such Grantor and to the parties to each Assigned Agreement in default; provided,
however, that neither the giving of such notice nor any efforts by Collateral
Agent to remedy any such default shall act to prevent or otherwise impair such
Grantor's right to remedy such default. Any curing by Collateral Agent of any
Grantor's default under any of the Assigned Agreements shall not be construed as
an assumption by Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any obligations,
covenants or agreements of any Grantor under such Assigned Agreements, and
Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability to such Grantor or any other
Person as a result of any actions undertaken by Collateral Agent in curing or
attempting to cure any such default. This Agreement shall not be deemed to
release or to affect in any way the obligations of Grantors under the Assigned
Agreements to which it is a party.
2.5 Destruction of Collateral. No injury to, or loss or destruction of, the
Collateral or any part thereof shall relieve Grantors of any of their
obligations hereunder or any of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement or
any other Credit Document to which it is a party.
2.6 Retention of Certain Rights. So long as Collateral Agent has not
exercised remedies with respect to the Collateral under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantors
reserve all rights with respect to the Collateral (except as limited by the
Credit Documents), including all rights to use, apply, modify, dispose of or
otherwise deal with such Collateral (except as limited by the Credit Documents);
provided that no right shall be exercised or other action taken which could
materially impair the Collateral.
ARTICLE III.
OBLIGATIONS SECURED
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement and
all of the Collateral secure the payment and performance when due of all
Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement).
6
ARTICLE IV.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The occurrence of an Event of Default under, and as defined in, the
Credit Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Any such Event

(g) in connection with any acceleration and foreclosure, take
possession of the Collateral and of any and all books of account and records of
Grantors relating to any of the Collateral and render it usable and repair and
renovate the same without, however, any obligation to do so, and enter upon, or
authorize its designated agent to enter upon, the Site or any other location
where the same may be located for that purpose (including the right of
Collateral Agent to exclude Grantors and all Persons claiming access through
Grantors from any
7
access to the Collateral or to any part thereof) and Collateral Agent and its
representatives are hereby granted an irrevocable license to enter upon such
premises for such purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease the
Collateral, either separately or in conjunction with the Project, collect all
rents and income from the Collateral and apply the same to reimburse the Secured
Parties for any cost or expenses incurred hereunder or under any of the Credit
Documents and to the payment or performance of the Sponsor Entities' obligations
hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents, and apply the balance to the
Obligations of Grantors as provided for in the Credit Agreement and any
remaining excess balance to whomsoever is legally entitled thereto;
(h) secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any
part thereof, whether incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or

receivership shall be added to and be made a part of the Obligations, and,
whether or not said principal sum, including such disbursements and expenses,
exceeds the indebtedness originally intended to be secured hereby, the entire
amount of said sum, including such disbursements and expenses, shall be secured
by this Agreement and shall be due and payable upon demand therefor and
thereafter shall bear interest at the Default Rate or the maximum rate permitted
by applicable Legal Requirements, whichever is less;
(i) enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger,

received as interest, rent or other payment on or on account of the Collateral
or any part thereof or on account of its sale or lease;
(k) appoint another Person (who may be an employee, officer or
other representative of Collateral Agent) to do any of the foregoing, or take
any other action permitted hereunder, as agent for or representative of, and on
behalf of, Collateral Agent;
(l) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor)
endorsements, assignments and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with
respect to all or any of the Collateral;
(m) take any other action which Collateral Agent deems necessary
or desirable to protect or realize upon its security interest in the Collateral
or any part thereof, and Grantors hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent as
Grantors' attorney-in-fact (as set forth in Section 6.2) to take any such
action, including the execution and delivery of any and all documents or
instruments related to the Collateral or any part thereof in Grantors' name, and
said appointment shall create in Collateral Agent a power coupled with an
interest which shall be irrevocable;
8
(n) require Grantors to assemble the Collateral or any part
thereof and to make the same (to the extent the same is reasonably moveable)
available to Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by Collateral Agent
which is reasonably convenient to Grantors and Collateral Agent;
(o) make formal application for the transfer of all of Grantors'
permits, licenses, approvals, and the like relating to the Collateral or to
Grantors' business to Collateral Agent or to any assignee of Collateral Agent or
to any purchaser of any of the Collateral to the extent the same are assignable
in accordance with their terms and applicable Legal Requirements; or
(p) exercise any other or additional rights or remedies granted
to Collateral Agent under any other provision of this Agreement or any Credit
Document, or exercisable by a secured party under the UCC or under any other
applicable Legal Requirement.
5.2 Minimum Notice Period. If, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements,
prior notice of any action described in Section 5.1 is required to be given to
Grantors, Grantors hereby acknowledge that the minimum time required by such
applicable Legal Requirements, or, if no minimum time is specified, 10 Business
Days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period.
5.3 Sale of Collateral. In addition to exercising the rights described in
Section 5.1, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, Collateral Agent may, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, arrange for and conduct the sale of the Collateral at a public or
private sale (as Collateral Agent may elect) which sale may be conducted by an
employee or representative of Collateral Agent, and any such sale shall be
considered or deemed to be a sale made in a commercially reasonable manner.
Collateral Agent agrees to provide at least 10 Business Days' prior written
notice to Grantors specifying the time and place of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale is to be made and Grantors agree that such 10
Business Days' notice shall constitute reasonable notification (unless a longer
notice period shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements). Collateral
Agent may release, temporarily or otherwise, to Grantors any item of Collateral
of which Collateral Agent has taken possession pursuant to any right granted to
Collateral Agent by this Agreement without waiving any rights granted to
Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Credit
Documents or any other agreement related hereto or thereto. Grantors, in dealing
with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, hereby waives all
rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshaling
of assets or to require, upon foreclosure, sales of assets in a particular
order. Each successor and assign of any Grantor, including a holder of a Lien
subordinate to the Lien created hereby (without implying that Grantors have,
except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents, a right to grant an
interest in, or a subordinate Lien on, any of the Collateral), by acceptance of
its interest or Lien agrees that it shall be bound by the above waiver, to the
same extent as if such holder gave the waiver itself. Grantors also hereby
waive, to the full extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all laws
providing for rights of appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption
after foreclosure now or hereafter in force. If Collateral Agent sells any of
the Collateral upon credit, Grantors will be credited only with payments
actually made by the purchaser, received by Collateral Agent and applied to the
indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the
Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantors shall be
credited with the
9
proceeds of the sale. In the event Collateral Agent shall bid at any foreclosure
or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by Legal Requirements or this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, Collateral Agent may bid all or less
than the amount of the Obligations.
5.4 Costs and Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Collateral Agent in
connection with any actions taken under Article V, together with interest
thereon (to the extent permitted by law) computed at a rate per annum equal to
the Default Rate or the maximum rate permitted by Legal Requirements, whichever
is less, from the date due to the date of payment thereof, shall be added to the
indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be paid by Grantor to
Collateral Agent within 10 Business Days after demand.
5.5 Actions Taken by Collateral Agent. Any action or proceeding to enforce
this Agreement or any Assigned Agreement may be taken by Collateral Agent either
in any Grantor's name or in Collateral Agent's name, as Collateral Agent may
deem necessary.
5.6 Private Sales. Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of
the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to
Article V conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with
the requirements of applicable Legal Requirements. Grantors hereby waive any
claims against Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties arising by reason
of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a
private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public
sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if
Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that such private sale is
conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with applicable
Legal Requirements.
5.7 Waiver of Rights and Remedies Under Applicable Legal Requirements. To
the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, Grantors hereby waive
all rights and remedies of a debtor or grantor under the UCC or other applicable
Legal Requirements, and all formalities prescribed by law relative to the sale
or disposition of the Collateral (other than notice of sale and any other
formalities expressly provided in this Agreement), after the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default and all other rights and remedies
of Grantors with respect thereto. In exercising its right to take possession of
the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default hereunder, Collateral Agent, personally or by its agents or attorneys,
and subject to the rights of any tenant under any lease or sublease of the
Collateral, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, may enter
upon any land owned or leased by Grantors without being guilty of trespass or
any wrongdoing, and without liability to Grantors for damages thereby
occasioned.
5.8 Compliance With Limitations and Restrictions. Grantors hereby agree
that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms
hereof, Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or
restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is
necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Legal Requirements, or
in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any
Governmental Authority or official, and Grantors further agree that such
compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or
deemed not to have been made in a
10
commercially reasonable manner, nor shall Collateral Agent be liable or
accountable to Grantors for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such
Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
5.9 No Impairment of Remedies. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and
remedies under this Agreement, Collateral Agent shall forfeit any of its rights
or remedies, including any right to enter a deficiency judgment against
Grantors, whether because of any applicable Legal Requirements pertaining to
"election of remedies" or otherwise, Grantors hereby consent to such action by
Collateral Agent and, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements,
waive any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Collateral Agent
shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation,
indemnification or reimbursement which Grantors might otherwise have had but for
such action by Collateral Agent or the terms herein. Any election of remedies
which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Collateral Agent to
seek a deficiency judgment against Grantors shall not, to the extent permitted
by applicable Legal Requirements, impair Grantors' obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE VI.
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver.
6.1.1 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to Collateral Agent hereunder is intended to be exclusive of
any other right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or under any
other Credit Document now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held
by Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, may be taken concurrently or
successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions
or lawfully taken nonjudicial proceedings, or both. If Collateral Agent may,
under applicable Legal Requirements, proceed to realize its benefits under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document giving Collateral Agent a Lien upon any
Collateral, whether owned by any Grantor or by any other Person, either by
judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Collateral Agent
may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue
without affecting any of the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent under this
Agreement.
6.1.2 Delay Not Waiver; Separate Causes of Action. No delay or
omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to Collateral Agent
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any such right, power
or remedy of Collateral Agent, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any
such Event of Default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any other breach
or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any other breach or
default under this Agreement or any other Credit Document be deemed a waiver of
any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver,
permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Collateral
Agent of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part
of the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent of any provision or condition of this
11
Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in such writing. Each and every default by any Grantor in
payment hereunder shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and
separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.
6.2 Attorney-in-Fact. Grantors hereby constitute and appoint Collateral
Agent, acting for and on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties and each
successor or assign of Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the true
and lawful attorney-in-fact of Grantors, with full power and authority in the
place and stead of Grantors and in the name of Grantors, Collateral Agent or
otherwise, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and
applicable Legal Requirements, to enforce all rights, interests and remedies of
Grantors with respect to the Collateral, including the right:
(a) to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any
and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out
of the Assigned Agreements or any of the other Collateral, including any
insurance policies;
(b) to elect remedies thereunder and to endorse any checks or
other instruments or orders in connection therewith;
(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings in connection therewith which Collateral Agent may reasonably deem
to be necessary or advisable;
(d) to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may
be or become Liens or security interests against any or all of the Collateral,
or any part thereof, unless a bond or other security satisfactory to Collateral
Agent has been provided;
(e) to vote, demand, receive and enforce Grantors' rights with
respect to the Collateral;
(f) to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for
and on behalf of and in the name of Grantors or, at the option of Collateral
Agent, in the name of Collateral Agent, with the same force and effect as
Grantors could do if this Agreement had not been made; and
(g) upon foreclosure and to the extent provided herein or in any
other Credit Document, to do any and every act which Grantors may do on their
behalf with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or
all of Grantors' rights and remedies under any or all of the Assigned
Agreements;
provided, however, that Collateral Agent shall not exercise any of the
aforementioned rights unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and Collateral Agent has not waived the exercise of its remedies with respect
thereto in accordance with the Credit Documents. This power of attorney is a
power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until termination of
this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Credit
Documents; provided further, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent Grantors from, prior to the exercise by Collateral Agent of any of the
aforementioned rights, undertaking Grantors'
12
operations in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Collateral
and the Credit Documents.
6.3 Perfection; Further Assurances; Certain Waivers.
6.3.1 Perfection. Grantors agree that from time to time, at the
expense of Grantors, Grantors shall promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably
necessary, or that Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect,
to ensure the continued perfection of, and to protect the assignment and
security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable
Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Grantors shall: (a) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note,
tangible chattel paper or other instrument, deliver and pledge to Collateral
Agent such note or instrument duly endorsed (without recourse) and accompanied
by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and
substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent; and (b) authorize, execute and file
such financing statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and
such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be reasonably necessary
or desirable, or as Collateral Agent may reasonably request or as required by
applicable Legal Requirements, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments
and security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby. If any Grantor
shall at any time acquire a material commercial tort claim, as defined in the
UCC, such Grantor shall promptly notify Collateral Agent in a writing signed by
such Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to Collateral Agent in such
writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the
terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.
6.3.2 Filing of Financing and Continuation Statements. Grantors hereby
authorize the filing, at any time and from time to time, of any financing
statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements,
or any similar document in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as
Collateral Agent may reasonably determine are necessary or advisable to perfect
the security interest granted to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, herein. Such financing statements may (a) describe the
Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication
or description of the Collateral that describes such property in any other
manner as Collateral Agent may reasonably determine is necessary, advisable or
prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral
granted to Collateral Agent herein, including describing such property (i) as
"all assets" or "all personal property", whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, of Grantors or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any
particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9
of the UCC, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail,
and (b) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC
for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or
amendment, including (i) whether Grantors are organizations, the type of
organization and any organization identification number issued to Grantors and
(ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a
sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates.
Grantors agree to furnish any such information to Collateral Agent promptly upon
request. Copies of any such financing statements shall promptly be delivered to
Grantors.
13
6.3.3 Information Concerning Collateral. Grantors shall promptly upon
receipt of prior written request, and at the expense of Grantors, provide to
Collateral Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request
concerning the Collateral to enable Collateral Agent to enforce the provisions
of this Agreement.
6.3.4 Waiver. Grantors hereby waive, to the maximum extent permitted
by applicable Legal Requirements, (a) all rights under any law limiting
remedies, including recovery of a deficiency, under an obligation secured by a
mortgage or deed of trust on real property if the real property is sold under a
power of sale contained in such mortgage or deed of trust; (b) all rights under
any law to require Collateral Agent to pursue any Person other than Grantors,
any security which Collateral Agent may hold, or any other remedy before
proceeding against Grantors; (c) all rights of reimbursement or subrogation and
all rights to participate in any security held by Collateral Agent until the
Obligations have been paid and the covenants of the Credit Documents have been
performed in full; (d) all rights to require Collateral Agent to give any
notices of any kind, including without limitation notices of nonpayment,
nonperformance, protest, dishonor, default, delinquency or acceleration, or to
make any presentments, demands or protests, except as set forth herein or as
expressly provided in the Credit Agreement or other Credit Documents; (e) all
rights to assert the bankruptcy or insolvency of Grantors as a defense hereunder
or as the basis for rescission hereof; (f) subject to Section 6.6, all rights
under any law purporting to reduce Grantors' obligations hereunder if the
Obligations are reduced (other than as a result of payment of such Obligations);
and (g) all defenses based on the disability or lack of authority of Grantors or
any Person, the repudiation of the Credit Documents by Grantors or any Person,
the failure by Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce any claim
against Grantors, or the unenforceability in whole or in part of any Credit
Documents.
6.4 Continuing Assignment and Security Interest; Transfer of Notes. This
Agreement shall create a continuing pledge and assignment of and security
interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until
the indefeasible payment in full in cash and performance in full of the
Obligations (other than the Obligations that are intended to survive the
termination of the Credit Documents); (b) be binding upon Grantors and any of
their successors and assigns; and (c) inure, together with the rights and
remedies of Collateral Agent, to the benefit of Collateral Agent and its
successors and assigns for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any of the Secured Parties may
assign or otherwise transfer the Notes or other evidence of indebtedness held by
them to any other Person to the extent permitted by and in accordance with
Article 10 of the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all or an appropriate part of the benefits in respect thereof
granted to the Secured Parties herein or otherwise. The release of the security
interest in any or all of the Collateral, the taking or acceptance of additional
security, or the resort by Collateral Agent to any security it may have in any
order it may deem appropriate, shall not affect the liability of any Person on
the indebtedness secured hereby.
6.5 Termination of Security Interest. Upon the indefeasible payment in full
in cash of all Obligations and the termination of all Commitments and other
obligations of the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents (other than the
obligations that are intended to survive the termination of the Credit
Documents), this Agreement and the security interest and all other rights
granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to
Grantors.
14
Upon any such termination, Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors' expense and upon
its written direction, execute and, subject to Section 6.10, deliver to Grantors
such documents (including UCC-3 termination statements) as Grantors shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination, to release all security
interest on the Collateral and to return such Collateral to Grantors.
6.6 Limitation on Duty of Collateral Agent with Respect to the Collateral.
The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its
interest and the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall
not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe
custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies
actually received by it hereunder, and except to the extent of any duties
imposed by applicable Legal Requirements which have not been waived hereunder,
Collateral Agent shall have no duty with respect to any Collateral and no
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted as giving rise to any implied
duties or obligations on the part of Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the
Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment that is
substantially equivalent to that which Collateral Agent accords its own
property, it being expressly agreed, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements, that Collateral Agent shall have no
responsibility for (a) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
Persons with respect to any Collateral or (b) taking any action to protect
against any diminution in value of the Collateral, but, in each case, Collateral
Agent may do so and all expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith
shall be part of the Obligations.
6.7 Liability. Recourse hereunder shall be limited to the extent provided
in Article 9 of the Credit Agreement, which Article 9 is incorporated in this
Agreement by reference hereto.
6.8 Amendments; Waivers; Consents. This Agreement may not be amended,
modified or supplemented, except in a writing signed by each of the parties
hereto and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.21 of the
Credit Agreement.
6.9 Notices. All notices required or permitted under the terms and
provisions hereof shall be in writing, and any such notice shall become
effective upon delivery in accordance with Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement.
Notices to Grantors or Collateral Agent may be given at the addresses set forth
in Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement.
6.10 Reinstatement. This Agreement and the obligations of Grantors
hereunder shall automatically be reinstated if and to the extent that for any
reason any payment made pursuant to this Agreement is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned, whether as a result of any proceedings in
bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise with respect to any Grantor or any
other Person or as a result of any settlement or compromise with any Person
(including Grantors) in respect of such payment, and Grantors shall pay
Collateral Agent on demand all of its reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by Collateral Agent in connection with such
rescission or restoration.
6.11 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other
realization upon, all or any part of the
15
Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.5.5 of the Credit
Agreement. Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency.
6.12 Collateral Agent May Perform. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if Grantors fail to perform any agreement
contained herein within the applicable period (if any) provided for performance,
Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement,
and the reasonable expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith
shall be part of the Obligations.
6.13 Expenses; Interest.
6.13.1 Expenses. Grantors agree to pay on demand to Collateral Agent
all costs and expenses incurred by Collateral Agent (including the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel) incident to its enforcement, protection or
preservation of any of its rights or claims (or the rights or claims of any
other Secured Party) under this Agreement.
6.13.2 Interest. Any amount required to be paid by Grantors pursuant
to the terms hereof that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default
Rate or the maximum rate permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, whichever
is less, from the date due until paid in full.
6.14 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if
any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in
part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect
only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall
not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or
any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
6.15 Survival of Provisions. All agreements, representations and warranties
made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Credit Agreement and the making of the Loans and extensions of credit
thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or implied by law,
the agreements, representations and warranties of Grantors set forth herein
shall terminate only upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all
Obligations and the termination of all Commitments and other obligations of the
Secured Parties under the Credit Documents, other than those Obligations which
expressly survive the termination of the Credit Documents.
6.16 Successions or Assignments.
6.16.1 Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
successors or assigns of the Secured Parties who shall have, to the extent of
their interest, the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder.
6.16.2 Assignment. This Agreement is binding upon Grantors and any of
their successors and assigns. Grantors are not entitled to assign their
obligations hereunder to any other Person without the written consent of
Collateral Agent and all the Lenders, and any purported assignment in violation
of this provision shall be void.
16
6.17 Headings Descriptive. Article and Section headings have been inserted
in this Agreement as a matter of convenience for reference only and it is agreed
that such article and section headings are not a part of this Agreement and
shall not be used in the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
6.18 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Credit Documents,
is intended by the parties hereto as a final expression of their agreement and
is intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions
thereof.
6.19 Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
6.20 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or
supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument;
signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached
to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to
the same document.
6.21 Governing Law. This Agreement, including all matters of construction,
validity, performance and the creation, validity, enforcement or priority of the
Lien of, and security interests created by, this Agreement in or upon the
Collateral shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without
reference to conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 and Section 5-1402 of
the New York General Obligations Law), except as required by mandatory
provisions of law and except to the extent that the validity or perfection of
the Lien and security interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of
any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than
the State of New York.
6.22 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. GRANTORS AND COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN
CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF
CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS
OF COLLATERAL AGENT OR GRANTORS. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR
EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
6.23 Submission to Jurisdiction. Collateral Agent and Grantors agree that
any legal action or proceeding by or against any Grantor or with respect to or
arising out of this Agreement may be brought in or removed to the courts of the
State of New York, in and for the County of New York, or of the United States of
America for the Southern District of New York, as Collateral Agent may elect. By
execution and delivery of this Agreement, Collateral Agent and Grantors accept,
for themselves and in respect of their property, generally and unconditionally,
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Collateral Agent and
Grantors irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the
aforementioned courts in any manner permitted by law. Nothing herein shall
affect the right of Collateral Agent to bring legal action or proceedings in any
other competent jurisdiction. Collateral Agent and Grantors hereby waive
17
any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection
with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of forum
non-conveniens.
6.24 Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or give to any Person, other
than Grantors, Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, any security,
rights, remedies or claims, legal or equitable, under or by reason hereof, or
any covenant or condition hereof. This Agreement and the covenants and
agreements herein contained are and shall be held to be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of Grantors, Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties.
