6.

7. Remedies.

(a) General Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during continuation thereof, the Lender shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Loan Documents, in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or by any applicable law (including, but not limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies set forth in the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further, the Lender may, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i) enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by the Grantors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Grantors to assemble and make available to the Lender at the expense of the Grantors any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Grantors hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, at any

place and time or times, 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 any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale (which in the case of a private sale of Pledged Equity, shall be to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated 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), at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for money, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Lender deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements).  Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and, in the case of a sale of Pledged Equity, that the Lender shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933.  The Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold.  Neither the Lender’s compliance with applicable laws nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale.  To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to Grantor in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 8.01 of the Loan Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice.  Each Grantor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell any Pledged Equity which has been (A) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933), or (B) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Lender may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.  The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Lender may be a purchaser at any such sale.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Grantors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any such sale.  Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the Lender may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed, or the Lender may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Lender arising out of the exercise by the Lender 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 Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in each case against whom such claim is asserted.  Each Grantor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC and that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such

licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC.

(b) Remedies Relating to Accounts.

(i) During the continuation of an Event of Default, whether or not the Lender has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, (A) each Grantor shall notify (such notice to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender) its Account Debtors and parties to its material contracts subject to a security interest hereunder that such Accounts and material contracts have been assigned to the Lender and promptly upon request of the Lender, instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Accounts to a mailing location selected by the Lender and (B) the Lender shall have the right to enforce any Grantor’s rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Lender or its designee may notify any Grantor’s customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such Grantor have been assigned to the Lender or of the Lender’s security interest therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name of a Grantor or both) demand, collect (including without limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, sue for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any Account, and, in the Lender’s discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the Lender in the Accounts.

(ii) Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the Lender in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for the Lender’s own convenience and that such Grantor shall not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein.  The Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Grantor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance.

(iii) During the continuation of an Event of Default, (A) the Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Grantors shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Lender may require in connection with such test verifications, (B) upon the Lender’s request and at the expense of the Grantors, the Grantors shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Lender to furnish to the Lender reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts and (C) the Lender in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with account debtors on the Accounts to verify with them to the Lender’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts.

(iv) During the continuation of an Event of Default, upon the request of the Lender, each Grantor shall forward to the Lender, on the last Business Day of each week, 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 Lender, 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 Lender.

(c) Deposit Accounts/Securities Accounts.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during continuation thereof, the Lender may prevent withdrawals or other dispositions of funds in Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts subject to control agreements or held with the Lender.

(d) Access.  In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Lender shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Grantors without cost or charge to the Lender, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Grantors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise.  In addition, the Lender may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral.  If the Lender exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, each Grantor shall also at its expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the Lender to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security interest of the Lender, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining inventory records.

(e) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies.  Failure by the Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other document relating to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by applicable law, or any delay by the Lender in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option.  No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Lender shall only be granted as provided herein.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Lender, nor any party acting as attorney for the Lender, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Lender may have.

(f) Retention of Collateral.  In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, the Lender may, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 (including notices given thereunder) of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable laws of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  Unless and until the Lender shall have provided such notices, however, the Lender shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.

(g) 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.  In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Lender is legally entitled, the Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency,

together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel.  Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Grantors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

(h) Specific Performance.  Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7 will cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 7 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 Loan Agreement.

8. Rights of the Lender.

(xii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

(xiii) to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Lender or as the Lender shall direct;

(xiv) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;

(xv) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Lender may request to evidence the security interests created hereby in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; and

(xvi) do and perform all such other acts and things as the Lender may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with the Collateral.

(b) Assignment by the Lender.  The Lender may from time to time assign the Secured Obligations to an assignee in accordance with the Loan Agreement, and such assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement in relation thereto.

(c) The Lender’s Duty of Care.  Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Lender hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Grantors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Lender shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Grantors.  The Lender 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 substantially equal to that which the Lender accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Lender shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral.  In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Lender shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(d) Liability with Respect to Accounts.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Grantors shall remain liable under each of the Accounts 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 to each such Account.  The Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Lender of any payment relating to such Account pursuant hereto, nor shall the Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of a Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), 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 under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), 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.

(e) Voting and Payment Rights in Respect of the Pledged Equity.

(i) So long as no Event of Default shall exist, each Grantor may (A) exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Agreement and (B) receive and retain any and all dividends (other than stock dividends and other dividends constituting Collateral which are addressed hereinabove), principal or interest

paid in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent they are allowed under the Loan Agreement; and

(ii) During the continuance of an Event of Default, (A) all rights of an Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i)(A) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Lender which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, (B) all rights of an Grantor to receive the dividends, principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Lender which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, principal and interest payments, and (C) all dividends, principal and interest payments which are received by an Grantor contrary to the provisions of clause (ii)(B) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Lender as Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by the Lender as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

(f) Releases of Collateral.

(i) If any Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Loan Agreement then the Lender, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the release of the liens created hereby or by any other Collateral Document on such Collateral.

(ii) The Lender may release any of the Pledged Equity from this Agreement or may substitute any of the Pledged Equity for other Pledged Equity without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Agreement as to any Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted, and this Agreement shall continue as a first priority lien on all Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted.

9. Application of Proceeds.  After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.2 of the Loan Agreement any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the Lender in cash or cash equivalents will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the manner determined by the Lender.

10. Continuing Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Secured Obligations arising under the Loan Documents have been paid in full, at which time this Agreement shall be automatically terminated (other than obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive such termination) and the Lender shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Grantors, forthwith release all of its liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Grantors evidencing such termination.

(b) This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured

Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any debtor relief law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Lender in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

11. Amendments; Waivers; Modifications, etc.  This Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as agreed in writing and signed by the Grantors and the Lender.  

12. Successors in Interest.  This Agreement shall be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the benefit of the Lender and their successors and permitted assigns.

13. Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 8.01 of the Loan Agreement.

14. Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when  so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by fax transmission or other electronic mail transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent a manually executed counterpart is not specifically required to be delivered, upon the request of any party, such fax transmission or electronic mail transmission shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

15. Headings.  The headings of the sections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

16. Governing Law; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  The terms of Sections 8.10 and 8.11 of the Loan Agreement with respect to governing law and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

17. Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

18. Entirety.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Secured Obligations represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or correspondence relating to the Loan Documents, any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

19. Other Security.  To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral (including, without limitation, real property

and securities owned by a Grantor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Lender shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and the Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Lender shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Secured Obligations or any of the rights of the Lender under this Agreement, under any other Loan Documents or under any other document relating to the Secured Obligations.

20. Joinder.  At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become party hereto by executing and delivering to the Lender a joinder agreement in such form as is acceptable to the Lender.  Immediately upon such execution and delivery of such joinder agreement (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to this Agreement as an “Grantor” and have all of the rights and obligations of a Grantor hereunder and this Agreement and the schedules hereto shall be deemed amended by such Joinder Agreement.

21. Consent of Issuers of Pledged Equity.  Any Grantor that is an Issuer hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees to the grant of the security interests in such Pledged Equity by the applicable Grantors pursuant to this Agreement, together with all rights accompanying such security interest as provided by this Agreement and applicable law, notwithstanding any anti-assignment provisions in any operating agreement, limited partnership agreement or similar organizational or governance documents of such Issuer.

22. Marshaling.  The Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

23. Injunctive Relief.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that, in the event such Grantor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lender.  Therefore, each Grantor agrees that the Lender, at the option of the Lender, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

(b) The Lender and each Grantor hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan Document and each

such Person hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages that they may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any dispute under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, whether such dispute is resolved through arbitration or judicially.

24. Existing Security Agreements Superseded.  This Agreement amends, modifies, supersedes and replaces in its entirety (a) the Prepetition Security Agreement, and (b) those provisions of the Existing DIP Facility Agreement which relate to the grant of a security interest to Lender and all of Lender’s rights and remedies with respect thereto (and, for the avoidance of doubt, all other provisions of the Existing DIP Facility Agreement will remain unchanged by this Agreement).  All grants of security interests under the Prepetition Security Agreement and the Existing DIP Facility shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which shall hereafter govern and control for all purposes. 

25. Joint and Several Liability of Grantors. 

(a) The obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall be joint and several, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect until all Secured Obligations shall have been paid and, until such payment has been made, shall not be discharged, affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of any event, including, without limitation, any of the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of any of the undersigned:  (a) the waiver, compromise, indulgence, settlement, release, termination, modification or amendment (including, without limitation, any extension or postponement of the time for payment or performance or renewal or refinancing) of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements of any of the Grantors under this the Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) the failure to give notice to any or all of the Grantors of the occurrence of a default under the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) the release, substitution or exchange by the Lender of any security held by it for the payment of any amount due pursuant to the Term Note or any other Loan Document (whether with or without consideration) or the acceptance by the Lender of any additional security for such payments or the availability or claimed availability of any other security, collateral or source of repayment; (d) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting any or all of the undersigned or any other person or entity who, or any of whose property, shall at the time in question be obligated in respect of the debt evidenced by the Term Note or any part thereof; (e) any failure, omission, delay or neglect by the Lender in enforcing, asserting or exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or at law or in equity; (f) the release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable for all or any part of the debt evidenced by the Term Note; (g) any non-perfection or other impairment of any security; (h) any assignment or transfer by the Lender of all or any interest in this Agreement; (i) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (j) any merger, consolidation, conversion or re-domestication involving any of the Grantors, any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or issuance of any stock, partnership, membership or other equity interest by any of the Grantors or any sale, transfer or conveyance by any of the undersigned or any other Person of all or any part of such Person’s interest in any of the Grantors or any affiliate of any of the Grantors; or (k) to the extent permitted by law, any event or action that would, in the absence of this clause, result in the

release or discharge of any or all of the Grantors from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties that any modification, limitation, or discharge of the obligations of any of the Grantors arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law shall not affect, modify, limit or discharge the liability of any other co-maker in any manner whatsoever, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain and continue in full force and effect and shall be enforceable against such Grantor to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if any such proceedings had not been instituted; and all other Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the full amount payable hereunder irrespective of any modification, limitation, or discharge of the liability of any co-maker that may result from any such proceeding.  The obligations of the Grantors to the Lender pursuant hereto include and apply to any payment or payments received by the Lender on account of the liabilities evidenced hereby, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, common law or equitable doctrine.  If any action or proceeding seeking such repayment is pending or, in the Lender’s sole judgment, threatened, this Agreement and any security interest therefor shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that one or more of the Grantors may not then be obligated to the Lender.  The joint and several obligations of the Grantors to the Lender and this Agreement and any security therefor, shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until the Lender has received payment in full of all Secured Obligations payable to it pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and the expiration of any applicable preference or similar period pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law, or at law or equity, without any claim having been made before the expiration of such period asserting an interest in all or any part of any payment(s) received by the Lender.

(b) The Grantors expressly agree that the Lender shall not be required first to institute any suit or to exhaust its remedies against any of the Grantors or any other Person to become liable hereunder or against any Collateral or security for the Loan evidenced hereby, in order to enforce this Agreement; and expressly agree that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing, the Grantors shall be and remain, directly and primarily liable for all Secured Obligations due under this Agreement and under the Loan Documents.  Each Grantor assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Grantor, and any and all endorsers and/or guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of such other Grantor’s Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment by such other Grantors of their Obligations and each Grantor agrees that Lender shall not have any duty to advise such Grantor of information known to Lender regarding such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine.  If Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Grantor, Lender shall not be under any obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to such Grantor on any subsequent occasion.

(c) All rights and claims of each of the Grantors against any other of the Grantors or the property of any other of the Grantors now or hereafter existing (collectively, the “Grantor Claims”) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full

of the Obligations.  Until such Obligations have been paid in full, and Grantors have performed all of their Obligations, none of the Grantors shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any other of the Grantors or any other party any payment upon any Grantor Claim nor seek to realize upon any collateral securing any such Grantor Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Grantors shall receive any such payment, such Grantors shall hold such payment in trust for the Lender and shall have absolutely no rights in or to such payment except to deliver it promptly to the Lender, and each of the Grantors hereby covenants to do so.  None of the Grantors will assert any right to which it may be or become entitled, whether by subrogation, contribution or otherwise, against any other of the Grantors or against the property of any other of the Grantors by reason of the performance by such party of its obligations under this Agreement, except after performance and payment in full of the Term Note and any other Loan Documents.

(d) Lender is hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of any Grantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, to, at any time and from time to time, (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to a Grantor’s Secured Obligations or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by a Grantor and delivered to the Lender; (ii) accept partial payments on a Grantor’s Secured Obligations; (iii) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of a Grantor’s Secured Obligations hereunder or for the payment of any guaranties of a Grantor’s Secured Obligations or other liabilities of a Grantor and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (iv) apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine; and (v) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate a Grantor’s Secured Obligations and any security or collateral therefor in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of the other Grantors.  The Lender shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from a Grantor or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on such Grantor.  All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of a Grantor’s Secured Obligations as the Lender shall determine in its sole discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Secured Obligations of the other Grantors.

(e) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and several nature of the Secured Obligations of Grantors and the liens and security interests granted by Grantors to secure the Secured Obligations, not constitute a “Fraudulent Conveyance” (as defined below).  Consequently, Lender and Grantors agree that if the Secured Obligations of a Grantor, or any liens or security interests granted by such Grantor securing the Secured Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, the Secured Obligations of such Grantor and the liens and security interests securing such Secured Obligations shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such Secured Obligations or such lien or security interest to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and the Secured Obligations of such Grantor and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly.  For purposes hereof, “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of Title II of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.), as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance

or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.
