ARTICLE V REMEDIES

5.1 Code and Other Remedies

(a) UCC Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Purchaser Agent, 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 any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the UCC or any other applicable law.

(b) Disposition of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser Agent may, 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), during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on the Purchaser Agent’s claim or action, (ii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral and (iii) as further set forth herein, enter into transfers, sales, or other dispositions of, grant option or options to purchase and deliver, any Collateral (enter into any Contractual Obligation 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 any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions and times and locations 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.

(c) Regulated Sales. To the extent, and only to the extent, required by Regulation and prohibited by Regulation to be waived by the applicable Grantors (which the Grantors hereby expressly waive to the fullest extent permitted by Regulation), the Grantors agree that ten (10) days’ written notice is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions of the Purchaser Agent’s intention to make any transfer, sale or other dispositions of any Collateral. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Purchaser Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Purchaser Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The Purchaser Agent shall not be obligated to sell any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Purchaser Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Purchaser Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but none of the Purchaser Agent or the other Secured Parties shall incur any Liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made in accordance with the Transaction Documents, the Purchaser Agent and any other Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Regulation) from any right or equity of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any Obligation then due and payable to the Secured Parties (in the case of the Purchaser Agent) or, as the case may be, such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Purchaser Agent (or, as the case may be, such Secured Party) may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Purchaser Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Purchaser Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and no Obligation shall remain outstanding. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Purchaser Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

(d) Management of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at the Purchaser Agent’s request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Purchaser Agent at places that the Purchaser Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser Agent also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Purchaser Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until the Purchaser Agent is able to enter into an asset sale with respect to any Collateral, the Purchaser Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Purchaser Agent and (iv) the Purchaser Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of the Purchaser Agent‘s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice orhearing as to such appointment. The Purchaser Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Purchaser Agent.

(e) Application of Proceeds. The Purchaser Agent shall apply the cash proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Purchaser Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations and only after such application and after the payment by the Purchaser Agent of any other amount required by any Regulation, need the Purchaser Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of all of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Grantors will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Parties as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) Direct Obligation. Neither the Purchaser Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor, any other Secured Party or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and remedies of the Purchaser Agent and any other Secured Party under any Transaction Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Regulation. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser Agent, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

(g) Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that applicable Regulations impose duties on the Purchaser Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Purchaser Agent to do any of the following:

(i) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Purchaser Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition;

(ii) fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to dispose of, or for the collection of, any Collateral, or, if not required by other Regulations, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral;

(iii) fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

(iv) advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

(v) exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Purchaser Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Purchaser Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

(vi) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

(vii) disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or

(viii) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Purchaser Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Purchaser Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.

(ix) Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 5.1 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 5.1Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Purchaser Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Regulations in the absence of this Section 5.1.

(h) IP Licenses. For the purpose of enabling the Purchaser Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5.1 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, enter into an asset sale with respect to, or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Purchaser Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Purchaser Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all Real Property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.

(i) Performance by the Purchaser Agent or any other Secured Party. The Purchaser Agent may, but is not obligated to, perform or attempt to perform any Contractual Obligation of any Grantor contained herein with or without prior written notice to such Grantor. If any material part of the Collateral becomes the subject of any Proceeding and any such Grantor fails to defend fully such Proceeding and to protect such Grantor’s and Secured Parties’ rights in such Collateral in good faith, the Purchaser Agent may, at its option but at Grantors’ cost, elect to defend and control the defense of such litigation or other proceeding, and may (i) select and retain counsel, (ii) determine whether settlement shall be offered or accepted, and (iii) determine and negotiate all settlement terms.

5.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles

No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible by reason of or arising out of any Transaction Document or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible, 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 that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Purchaser Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, the Purchaser Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Purchaser Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Purchaser Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(b) Proxies. In order to permit the Purchaser Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Purchaser Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Purchaser Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Purchaser Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall remain in place as long as any Obligation shall remain outstanding.

(c) Authorization of Issuers. Each Grantor hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Purchaser Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Purchaser Agent.

5.4 Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Purchaser Agent Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Purchase Agreements or this Agreement, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in Cash, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, time and demand deposits and other similar cash equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Purchaser Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be turned over to the Purchaser Agent in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement)All such proceeds and other proceeds being held by the Purchaser Agent (or by such Grantor in trust for the Purchaser Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided herein and the Purchase Agreements.

5.5 Registration Rights

(a) If, in the opinion of the Purchaser Agent, it is necessary or advisable to transfer any portion of the Pledged Collateral by registering such Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), each relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to do or cause to be done all acts as may be, in the opinion of the Purchaser Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Collateral or that portion thereof to be transferred under the provisions of the Securities Act, all as directed by the Purchaser Agent in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto and in compliance with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction that the Purchaser Agent shall designate.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Purchaser Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Notes 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 Purchaser Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such Notes for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(c) 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 any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Regulations. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Purchaser Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Purchaser 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 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred.

5.6 Deficiency Each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Purchaser Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

6.4 Duty; Obligations and Liabilities. The Purchaser Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Purchaser Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on the Purchaser Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Purchaser Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Purchaser Agent to exercise any such powers. The Purchaser Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Reinstatement Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Secured Party or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Secured Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any other provision of this Agreement shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

7.2 Independent Obligations The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations. If any Secured Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the Purchaser Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Company Party, any of their Affiliates or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor or any other Company Party or any other party in any proceeding.

7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.4), 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 any 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 any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

7.4 Amendments in Writing None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a writing signed by the Purchaser Agent and each Grantor; provided, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1 and Annex 2, respectively, in each case duly executed by the Purchaser Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby.

7.5 Additional Grantors; Additional Pledged Collateral

(a) Joinder Agreements. The Company shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder.

(b) Several Liability. All Grantors shall jointly and severally be liable for the obligations of each Debtor to the Secured Parties hereunder.

(c) Pledge Amendments. To the extent any Pledged Collateral has not been delivered as of the Closing Date, such Grantor shall deliver a pledge amendment duly executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a “Pledge Amendment”) Such Grantor authorizes the Purchaser Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement.

7.6 Appointment of Agent. If and as applicable, the Secured Parties hereby appoint [PURCHASER] to act as their agent (“Agent”) for purposes of exercising any and all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder. Such appointment shall continue until revoked in writing by the Secured Parties, at which time the Secured Parties shall appoint a new Agent. The Agent shall have the rights, responsibilities and immunities set forth in Annex B hereto.

7.7 Notices All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Purchaser Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Purchase Agreements; provided, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Company’s notice address set forth in such Section 8.2.

7.8 Successors and Assigns This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Secured Party and their successors and, if permitted by the other Transaction Documents, 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 Purchaser Agent.

7.9 Counterparts This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by e-mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

7.10 Severability Any provision of this Agreement being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

7.11 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the Transaction Documents (including any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations and warranties made by the Grantors under this Agreement (including those representations and warranties set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the date hereof (except those that are expressly made as of a specific date), shall survive the date here and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser Agent or any borrowing hereunder. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Secured Parties are entitled under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Secured Parties against events arising after such termination as well as before. This Agreement shall be reinstated at any time any payment of any Secured Obligation, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Purchaser Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or other Company Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

7.12 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Regulations and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Secured Party is hereby authorized by each Grantor at any time or from time to time, without notice or demand to any Grantor or to any other Person, any such notice or demand being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness or other amounts at any time held or owing by such Grantor to or for the credit or the account of any other Company Party or any of their Related Parties against and on account of any amounts due by any Company Party or any of their Related Parties to any Secured Party under any Transaction Documents (including from the Purchase Price to be disbursed under the Purchase Agreement and the Notes), such Secured Party shall then hold such amounts in trust for the other Secured Parties and transfer such amounts to the Purchaser Agent to be distributed to the Secured Parties ratably according to the terms hereof and other related documents.

7.13 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Purchaser Agent hereunder, the grant of the 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 any Transaction Document or any agreement with respect to any of the Secured 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 Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Transaction Documents 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 Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement (other than payment of the outstanding Secured Obligations).

7.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of Nevada without reference to rules or principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, each Grantor agrees that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Notes (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Clark County, Nevada. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, each Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Clark County, Nevada for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper.

7.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Regulations, any right that they may have to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action or in any Action, directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of this Agreement (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory)Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other parties would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this section.

SECURITY AGREEMENT

THE AGENT

1. Appointment.  The Secured Parties (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided in the Security Agreement to which this Annex B is attached (the “Agreement”)), by their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby designate [PURCHASER] (“Agent”) as the Agent to act as specified herein and in the Agreement.  Each Secured Party shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Agreement and any other Transaction Document (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreements) and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

2. Nature of Duties.  The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Agreement.  Neither the Agent nor any of its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Debtor or any Secured Party; and nothing in the Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreements), expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except as expressly set forth herein and therein.

3. Lack of Reliance on the Agent.  Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each Secured Party, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with such Secured Party’s investment in the Debtors, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the Collateral from time to time, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or at any time or times thereafter.  The Agent shall not be responsible to the Debtors or any Secured Party for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the financial condition of the Debtors or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the financial condition of the Debtors, or the value of any of the Collateral, or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under the Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents.

4. Certain Rights of the Agent.  The Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral, on behalf of all of the Secured Parties.  To the extent practical, the Agent shall request instructions from the Secured Parties with respect to any material act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Secured Party; if such instructions are not provided despite the Agent’s request therefor, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action, and if such action is taken, shall be entitled to appropriate indemnification from the Secured Parties in respect of actions to be taken by the Agent; and the Agent shall not incur liability to any person or entity by reason of so refraining.  Without limiting the foregoing, (a) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and the Debtors shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Agent pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Agent shall not be required to take any action that the Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose it to personal liability or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or applicable law.

5. Reliance.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or facsimile message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it and upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected by it.  Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Secured Party to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Debtors or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted pursuant to the Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

6. Indemnification.  To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Debtors, the Secured Parties will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Agent, in proportion to their initially purchased respective principal amounts of Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except for those determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Prior to taking any action hereunder as Agent, the Agent may require each Secured Party to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines in good faith is necessary to protect the Agent for costs and expenses associated with taking such action.

7. Resignation by the Agent.

(a) The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Debtors and the Secured Parties.  Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties shall appoint a successor Agent hereunder.

(c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30)-day period, the Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Secured Parties appoint a successor Agent as provided above.  If a successor Agent has not been appointed within such thirty (30)-day period, the Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Debtors and the Secured Parties in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith, shall be payable by the Debtors on demand.

8. Rights with respect to Collateral.  Each Secured Party agrees with all other Secured Parties and the Agent (i) that it shall not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to its security interest in the Collateral, whether pursuant to any other agreement or otherwise (other than pursuant to this Agreement), or take or institute any action against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than any such action arising from the breach of this Agreement) and (ii) that such Secured Party has no other rights with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Agreement.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of the Agreement including this Annex B shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.
