REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

Section 5.1. General Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party, 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, 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 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. The Secured Party may disclaim any warranties of title, possession and quiet enjoyment. The 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 Secured Party’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder except to the extent any such claims, damages, or demands result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party. 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.

Section 5.2. Specific Remedies.

(a) The Secured Party hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect its Accounts, under the Secured Party’s direction and control; provided that, the Secured Party may curtail or terminate such authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) the Secured Party may communicate with Account Debtors of any Account subject to a Security Interest and upon the request of the Secured Party, each Grantor shall notify (such notice to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party) its Account Debtors and parties to the Contracts subject to a Security Interest that such Accounts and the Contracts have been assigned to the Secured Party;

(ii) each Grantor shall forward to the Secured Party, on the last Business Day of each week (or more frequently if requested by the Secured Party), deposit slips related to all cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment received by the Grantor during such week, and, if requested by the Secured Party, copies of such checks or any other similar items of payment, together with a statement showing the application of all payments on the Collateral during such week and a collection report with regard thereto, in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party.

(iii) whenever any Grantor shall receive any cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment relating to any Collateral (including any Proceeds of any Collateral), such Grantor agrees that it will, within one (1) Business Day of such receipt, deposit all such items of payment into the Collateral Account or in a Deposit Account at a Controlled Depositary; and until such Grantor shall deposit such cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment in the Collateral Account or in a Deposit Account at a Controlled Depositary, such Grantor shall hold such cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment in trust for the Secured Party and as property of the Secured Party, separate from the other funds of such Grantor, and the Secured Party shall have the right to transfer or direct the transfer of the balance of each Deposit Account to the Collateral Account. All such Collateral and Proceeds of Collateral received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be held by the Secured Party in the Collateral Account as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4.

(iv) the Secured Party shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or distributions made in respect of any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests or other Proceeds paid in respect of any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests, and any or all of any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests shall be registered in the name of the Secured Party or its nominee, and the Secured Party or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests, at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members of the relevant Issuers, and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests 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 or Partnership/LLC Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate, partnership or company structure of any Issuer or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Secured Party of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; but the Secured Party shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and the Secured Party shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In furtherance thereof, each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer with respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Secured Party in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (B) 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) except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests directly to the Secured Party; and

(c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Secured Party shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Secured Party’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.2(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends, payments or other distributions made in respect of any Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests, 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 Loan Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other corporate, company or partnership rights with respect to any Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests; provided that no vote shall be cast or other corporate, company or partnership right exercised or other action taken which, in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would result in a Default or Event of Default under any provision of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 5.3. Private Sale.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all Collateral consisting of Securities which have not been registered for resale under the Securities Act (“Restricted Securities Collateral”), 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 not by reason thereof be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Restricted Securities Collateral 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.

(b) 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 Restricted Securities Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other Applicable Laws.

Section 5.4. Application of Proceeds

. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Secured Party, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Lender’s election, the Secured Party may apply all or any part of the Collateral or any Proceeds of the Collateral in payment in whole or in part of the Obligations (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 Secured Party hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in accordance with Section 2.06 of the Loan Agreement. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after payment in full of the Obligations shall be paid over to the Grantors, or to whomever else may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Only after (a) the payment by the Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-610 and Section 9-615 of the UCC, and (b) the payment in full of the Obligations, shall the Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor, or to whomever else may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Section 5.5. Waiver, Deficiency

. Each Grantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any Applicable Law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof. Each Grantor 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 Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
