GUARANTY
 
           Section  2.1                      Guaranty.  To induce the Lenders to make the Term Loans to the Borrower and each other Secured Party to make credit available to or for the benefit of one or more Loan Parties, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance with any Loan Document, all the Obligations of the Borrower whether existing on the date hereof or hereinafter incurred or created (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  This Guaranty by each Guarantor hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.
 
           Section  2.2                      Limitation of Guaranty.  Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Applicable Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”).  Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in Section 2.3 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under this Guaranty.
 
           Section  2.3                      Contribution.  To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries from the Term
 

 
6

 

Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower that received the benefit of the funds advanced that constituted Guaranteed Obligations) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date.
 
           Section  2.4                      Authorization; Other Agreements.  The Secured Parties are hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the following:
 
(a)           (i) subject to compliance, if applicable, with Section 11.01 of the Term Loan Agreement, modify, amend, supplement or otherwise change, (ii) accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment or (iii) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any Loan Document;
 
(b)           apply to the Guaranteed Obligations any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any Guaranteed Obligation in such order as provided in the Loan Documents;
 
(c)           refund at any time any payment received by any Secured Party in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation;
 
(d)           (i) sell, exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, release, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, accept, surrender, affect, impair or otherwise alter any Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligation or any other guaranty therefor in any manner, (ii) receive, take and hold additional Collateral to secure any Guaranteed Obligation, (iii) add, release or substitute any one or more other Guarantors, makers or endorsers of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof and (iv) otherwise deal in any manner with any Loan Party, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof; and
 
(e)           settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations.
 
           Section  2.5                      Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional.  Each Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense, whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Guaranty, in each case except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Collateral Agent):
 
(a)           the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of a Loan Party under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed
 

 
7

 

Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
 
(b)           the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof from a Loan Party or other action to enforce the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Loan Document or any Lien thereunder;
 
(c)           the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or to preserve any rights with respect to, any Collateral;
 
(d)           any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or dissolution by or against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action or omission thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or bar or stay against collecting, any Guaranteed Obligation (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;
 
(e)           any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Secured Party to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with such Secured Party’s rights under any Applicable Law; or
 
(f)           any other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower, in each case other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
 
           Section  2.6                      Waivers.  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the following:  (a) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest; (b) any notice of acceptance; (c) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable; and (d) any other notice in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any Guarantor.  Each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, until the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against the Borrower or any Guarantor by reason of any Loan Document or any payment made thereunder or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against any other Loan Party or set off any of its obligations to such other Loan Party against obligations of such Loan Party to such Guarantor; provided, that if any amounts are paid to any Loan Party in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Agreement, whether matured or

unmatured.  No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by complete performance.
 
           Section  2.7                      Reliance.  Each Loan Party hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Loan Party hereby agrees that no Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any Loan Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances.  In the event any Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Loan Party, such Secured Party shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that such Secured Party, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Loan Party.
 
           Section  2.8                      Subordination.  Each Loan Party hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and Indebtedness of any other Loan Party owing to such Loan Party, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any other Loan Party to such Loan Party as subrogee of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or resulting from a Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations.  If the Collateral Agent so requests during the continuance of an Event of Default, any such obligation or Indebtedness of any Loan Party to any other Loan Party shall be enforced and performance received by the applicable Loan Party as trustee for the Secured Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Loan Party under this Agreement.
 
           Section  2.9                      Funds Transfers.  If any Guarantor shall engage in any transaction as a result of which the Borrower is required to make a mandatory prepayment with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement, such Guarantor shall distribute to, or make a contribution to the capital of, the Borrower an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment required under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement.

(b)           As of the Closing Date, all Pledged Collateral (other than Pledged Uncertificated Stock) and all Pledged Investment Property consisting of instruments and certificates has been delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.2(a).

(b)           Disposition of Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, subject to the terms set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), 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 Loan Party or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on any Secured Party’s claim or action, (ii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral and (iii) sell, assign, convey, transfer, grant option or options to purchase and deliver any Collateral (or enter into Contractual Obligations to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at a 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 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 Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other Applicable Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Loan Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.
 
(c)           Management of the Collateral.  Each Loan Party further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, subject to the terms set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, (i) at the Collateral Agent’s request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it
 

 
20

 

available to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Loan Party’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall also have the right to require that each Loan Party store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent is able to sell, assign, convey or transfer any Collateral, the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent and (iv) the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.  The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Loan Party to maintain or preserve the rights of any Loan Party as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Collateral Agent.
 
(d)           Application of Proceeds.  The Collateral Agent shall apply the cash proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.1, 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 Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any Applicable Law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Loan Party.
 
(e)           Direct Obligation.  Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, the Borrower, any Loan 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 Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Applicable Law.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Loan Party absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, 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 ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.
 
(f)           Commercially Reasonable.  To the extent that Applicable Law imposes any duty on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to do any of the following:
 

 
21

 

    (i)           fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Collateral 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 sell or for the collection or sale of any Collateral, or, if not required by other Applicable Law, 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 Loan Party, 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 Collateral Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.
 
Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.1 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 6.1.  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 6.1.
 

 
22

 

(g)           License.  For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 6.1 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Loan Party hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to the extent such Loan Party is lawfully permitted to do so without violating any Contractual Obligations (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Loan Party), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Loan Party 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 (subject only to the rights of any third party non-Affiliate licensor of such Intellectual Property) and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Loan Party) to use, operate and occupy any and all Real Property, including without limitation all Real Property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Loan Party.
 
           Section  6.2                      Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles.  (a)  In addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Term Loan Agreement, if required by the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of accounts or payment in respect of general intangibles, when collected by any Loan Party, shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Loan Party in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Loan Party to the Collateral Agent, in a Cash Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 6.4.  Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Loan Party in trust for the Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties), segregated from other funds of such Loan Party.  Each such deposit of proceeds of accounts and payments in respect of general intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.  At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:
 
    (i)           each Loan Party shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s request, deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents evidencing, and relating to, the Contractual Obligations and transactions that gave rise to any account or any payment in respect of general intangibles, including all orders, invoices and shipping receipts and notify account debtors that the accounts or general intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties);
 
    (ii)           The Collateral Agent may, if permitted under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Loan Party to collect its accounts or amounts due under general intangibles or any thereof and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with account debtors to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or amounts due under any general intangible.  In addition, the Collateral Agent may at any time enforce such Loan Party’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general intangibles; and
 

 
23

 

    (iii)           each Loan Party shall take all actions, deliver all documents and provide all information necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to ensure any Internet Domain Name is registered.
 
(b)           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Loan Party shall remain liable under each account and each payment in respect of general intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.  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 Loan 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 Loan Party 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.
 
           Section  6.3                      Pledged Collateral.
 
(a)           Voting Rights.  During the continuance of an Event of Default, immediately upon notice by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Loan Party or Loan Parties, the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that no Agent shall have any duty to any Loan Party to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
 
(b)           Proxies.  In order to permit the Collateral 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 Loan Party shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Loan Party hereby grants to the Collateral 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),
 

 
24

 

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 only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations).
 
(c)           Authorization of Issuers.  Each Loan Party hereby expressly and irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from such Loan Party, each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Loan Party to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral 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 Loan Party agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Loan Party in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby or by the Term Loan Agreement, pay any dividend or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties).
 
           Section  6.4                      Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by the Collateral Agent.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Term Loan Agreement or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Term Loan Agreement, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Loan Party hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by such Loan Party in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Loan Party, and shall, promptly upon receipt by any Loan Party, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement).  All such proceeds of Collateral and any other proceeds of any Collateral received by the Collateral Agent in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Cash Collateral Account.  All proceeds being held by the Collateral Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Loan Party in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Term Loan Agreement.
 
           Section  6.5                      Sale of Pledged Collateral.
 
(a)           Each Loan Party recognizes that the Collateral 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, subject to the terms set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, 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 securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Loan Party 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 Collateral 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 securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to do so.
 

 
25

 

(b)           Each Loan Party 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 Section 6.1 and this Section 6.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all Applicable Law.  Each Loan Party further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained herein will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral 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 herein shall be specifically enforceable against such Loan Party, and such Loan Party 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 under the Term Loan Agreement.  Each Loan Party waives any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent.
 
           Section  6.6                      Deficiency.  Each Loan Party shall remain 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 Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

ARTICLE VIII
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
           Section  8.1                      Reinstatement.  Each Loan Party agrees that, if any payment made by any Loan 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 Loan Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Loan Party, 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, (a) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Loan Party’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder 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 Loan Party in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.
 
           Section  8.2                      Release of Collateral.  This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 11.18 of the Term Loan Agreement, and such provisions are incorporated herein by this reference, mutatis mutandis.  The Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense,
 

 
29

 

deliver to the applicable Loan Party any Collateral in the possession of the Collateral Agent or an Agent thereof, and execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents, certificates and instruments, and do such acts and things, as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of any item of Collateral or guarantee obligation from the assignment and security interest granted under this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and Section 11.18 of the Term Loan Agreement.
 
           Section  8.3                      Independent Obligations.  The obligations of each Loan Party hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations.  If any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole election and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Loan Party and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Loan Party, any other Loan Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Loan Party or any other Loan Party in any proceeding.
 
           Section  8.4                      No Waiver by Course of Conduct.  No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.5), 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.
 
           Section  8.5                      Amendments.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 11.01 of the Term Loan Agreement which are incorporated herein by this reference, mutatis mutandis; provided, however, 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 Collateral Agent and each Loan Party directly affected thereby.
 
           Section  8.6                      Additional Loan Parties; Additional Pledged Collateral.
 
(a)           Joinder Agreements.  If, at the option of a Loan Party or as required pursuant to Section 7.08 of the Term Loan Agreement, a Loan Party shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party to become a Loan Party hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 (each a “Joinder Agreement”) and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Loan Party party hereto on the Closing Date.
 
(b)           Pledge Amendments.  To the extent any Pledged Collateral has not been delivered as of the Closing Date, such Loan Party shall deliver a pledge amendment duly executed by the Loan Party in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a “Pledge Amendment”).
