Section 5.13. Covenants in Note Purchase Agreement.

In the case of each Grantor, such Grantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

Section 6.01. Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

(a) The Agent shall have the right to verify the Receivables at any time and from time to time in any manner and through any medium that it considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time, upon the Agent’s request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall furnish to the Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables. Each Grantor shall provide such information as the Agent may from time to time request regarding the Receivables, including agings and trial balances.

(b) The Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, subject to the Agent’s direction and control, and the Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Agent for the account of the Secured Parties in accordance with this Agreement and the other Note Purchase Documents, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) At the Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

Section 6.02. Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) The Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.

(b) Upon the request of the Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables and parties to the Assigned Agreements that the Receivables and the Assigned Agreements have been assigned to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and the Assigned Agreements to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Assigned Agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Assigned Agreement, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Section 6.03. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Investment Property of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with terms of this Agreement or any other Note Purchase Document.; provided, however, that such Grantor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Investment Property or any part thereof.

(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Investment Property of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Note Purchase Documents; provided, however, that any and all

(A) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Investment Property,

(B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Investment Property in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus, and

(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Investment Property shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent to hold as, Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor, and be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment).

(iii) The Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.03(a)(i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6.03(a)(ii) above.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) All rights of each Grantor (x) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.03(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Grantor by the Agent, cease and (y) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6.03(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.

(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of Section 6.03(b)(i) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment).

(c) The Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Property for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends, interest and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor acknowledges that the Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein.

(d) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Agent.

(e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent shall be authorized to send to each securities intermediary, commodity intermediary, bank or Issuer of an uncertificated security that is party to a Control Agreement, a notice that the Agent has exclusive control and dominion under such Control Agreement (or any comparable notice permitted under such Control Agreement).

Section 6.04. Proceeds to be Turned Over To Agen. In addition to the rights of the Agent specified in Section 6.01 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, immediately upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Agent hereunder shall be held by the Agent in a Collateral Account and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.05.

Section 6.05. Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Agent’s election, the Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in such order and manner as required pursuant to the Limited Guaranty or as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion.

Section 6.06. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefore, and any such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using 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. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights or remedies hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of Collateral is intended to be made.

(b) The Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Agent may disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c) The Agent and its agents may enter upon and occupy any real property owned or leased by any Grantor in order to exercise any of the Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, without any obligation to such Grantor in respect of such entry or occupation.

(d) For the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate under, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(e) The Agent may comply with any applicable Requirement of Law in connection with a disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof.

(f) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Agent or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.

(g) The Agent may apply the balance from any deposit account or instruct the bank at which any deposit account is maintained to pay the balance of any deposit account to or for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties.

(h) The Agent shall have no duty to marshal any of the Collateral.

Section 6.07. Registration Rights. If the Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities pursuant to Section 6.06, and if in the opinion of the Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers (or equivalent managers) of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities pursuant to this Section valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Note Purchase Agreement.

Section 6.08. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay in full its Guaranteed Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Section 6.09. Sales on Credit. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, the applicable Grantor will be credited only with cash payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Agent may resell the Collateral and the applicable Grantor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

Section 7.01. Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact; Etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, prepare, sign, deliver, and file for recordation in any Intellectual Property registry any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Agent may request to evidence and perfect the Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or obtain any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefore and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.06 or 6.07, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Agent or as the Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, recover and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Intellectual Property (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Intellectual Property pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; (8) exercise any and all rights, powers, privileges and remedies of such Grantor under or with respect to the Assigned Agreements or any other Collateral (including all rights of performance, termination, and enforcement); (9) operate, maintain, and repair the Collateral; (10) receive, open and dispose of any and all mail addressed to any Grantor and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Agent may designate; and (11) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Agent’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.01(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.01(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein or in any other Note Purchase Document, the Agent may, but without any obligation so to do, perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.01, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (which rate shall not exceed the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law), from the date of payment by the Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable on demand by such Grantor to the Agent.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

Section 7.02. Duty of Agent. The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession (if any), under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in a manner substantially similar to that which the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Agent pursuant to this Agreement are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent to exercise any such powers. The Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 7.03. Financing Statements. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to file or record financing statements, continuation statements, and assignments and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Agent determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described in the Security Documents or as all assets or all personal property whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wherever located (or use words of similar effect) of such Grantor, or contain such other description as the Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable, including any real property or fixtures description. Each Grantor hereby ratifies each such financing statement and any and all other financing statements filed prior to the date hereof by the Agent.

Section 7.04. Authority of Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Note Purchase Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Agent and the Grantors, the Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.01. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except pursuant to a written instrument signed by the Agent and each Grantor.

Section 8.02. Notices. All notices, requests and demands and other communications to or upon the Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

Section 8.03. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agent and each other Secured Party hereunder, each grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Limited Guaranty or any other Note Purchase Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Note Purchase Agreement, the Limited Guaranty or any other Note Purchase Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or this Agreement.

Section 8.04. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.01), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 8.05. Indemnity and Expenses.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Agent the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Agent may incur in connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iii) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(c) The agreements in this Section 8.05 shall survive repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Limited Guaranty and the other Note Purchase Documents.

Section 8.06. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent.

Section 8.07. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Note Purchase Agreement, any other Note Purchase Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not such Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Secured Parties under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.

Section 8.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
