Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have given notice to the relevant Loan Party of the intent of the Agent to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 5.3, each Loan Party shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which, would materially impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Loan Party or Loan Parties, (i) the Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, and the Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Loan Party or the Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Agent shall have no duty to any Loan Party to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing and if it does do so, shall have no liability to the Loan Parties for the sufficiency thereof. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Loan Party hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of 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 Loan Party, and each Loan Party agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof.

5.4 Proceeds to Be Turned Over to Agent. In addition to the rights of the Agent specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Loan Party consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Loan Party in trust for the Agent, segregated from other funds of such Loan Party, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Loan Party, be turned over to the Agent in the exact form received by such Loan Party (duly indorsed by such Loan Party to the Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Agent hereunder shall be held by the Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Loan Party in trust for the Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.5.

5.5 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) if such event is an Event of Default specified in paragraph (f) of Section 7 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Borrowers, automatically, (y) if such event is an Event of Default specified in paragraph (j) of Section 7 of the Credit Agreement, at any time as the Agent may be so directed by any Lender or (z) if such event is any other Event of Default, at any time as the Agent may be so directed by the Required Lenders, the Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, in payment of the Obligations in the following order: first, to any costs, fees, expenses and other amounts incurred by the Agent in connection with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations (including the reasonable costs, fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, and any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise by the Agent of any right or remedy under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document); second, to the ratable satisfaction of the Obligations; and third, any balance of remaining Proceeds to the Borrowers or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full shall be paid over to the Borrowers or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

5.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent 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 Obligations, all rights and remedies of the Agent under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. 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 Loan Party 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, assign, give 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 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. The Agent 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 Loan Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Loan Party 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 Loan Party’s premises or elsewhere. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in the order as set forth in Section 5.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Loan Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent arising out of the exercise by them of any rights 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 such sale or other disposition. Each Loan Party recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. Each Loan Party also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private and each Loan Party waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any claims against Agent and the Lenders 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 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 accordance with this Agreement. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Loan Party or the issuer of any Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Loan Party and the issuer would agree to do so. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, the 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 law, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental authority, and each Loan Party further agrees that such compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall Agent be liable or accountable to any Loan Party for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

5.7 Deficiency. Each Loan Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Agent to collect such deficiency.

Section 6

6.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Agent or any Loan Party hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement.

6.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. The Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 6.1), 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 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 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 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.

6.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. Each Loan Party jointly and severally agrees to pay, and to save the Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such liabilities were caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Loan Party jointly and severally agrees to pay, and to save the Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement. The agreements in this Section 6.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the resignation or removal of the Agent.

6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Loan Party and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and its successors and assigns; provided that no Loan Party may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders.

6.6 Set-off. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Loan Party or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by each Loan Party, 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 the Agent to or for the credit or the account of such Loan Party, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Agent may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Loan Party to the Agent hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Agent against such Loan Party, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the Agent may elect, whether or not the Agent has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Agent shall notify such Loan Party promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Agent 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 Agent under this Section 6.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Agent may have.

6.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the Agent. This Agreement may be executed by means of (a) an electronic signature that complies with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other relevant and applicable electronic signatures law; (b) an original manual signature; or (c) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature. Each electronic signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature.

6.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

6.10 Integration.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to ▇▇▇ in any other jurisdiction; and

(b) the Agent has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Loan Parties and the Agent or any Lender.

6.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH LOAN PARTY AND THE AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
