(g) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, or any Governmental Authority in any other jurisdiction as may be required by Administrative Agent, to maintain and pursue each application relating to the material Patents, Trademarks, and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration), and to maintain each such issued Patent and each registration of such Trademarks and Copyrights, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference, and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

20
Administrative Agent’s security interest and Lien in any such patent, registered trademark, or registered copyright (or for the application for any patent or registration of any copyright) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, or any Governmental Authority in any other jurisdiction as may be reasonably required by Administrative Agent, in connection with such purchase or acquisition of any such patent, registered trademark, or registered copyright.
(k) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Intellectual Property is the sole and exclusive property of each applicable Grantor, subject to the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement. Other than in connection with any security interest in the Intellectual Property that any Grantor has granted to Administrative Agent, or any rights and remedies of Secured Parties under Applicable Law, neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall challenge any Grantor’s ownership of the Intellectual Property. Each Grantor expressly retains all rights, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, to license third parties to use the Intellectual Property for any purpose whatsoever not in violation of the Loan Documents and which are not exclusive as to prevent Administrative Agent from using any of the Intellectual Property in connection with the Grantors’ operations.
(l) The license granted to Administrative Agent hereunder shall include the right of Administrative Agent to grant sublicenses to others to use the Intellectual Property if an Event of Default exists, and to enable such sublicensees to exercise any rights and remedies of Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, as Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate in the exercise of the rights and remedies of Secured Parties. In any country where sublicenses are incapable of registration or where registration of a sublicense will not satisfactorily protect the rights of Grantor and Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall also have the right to designate other parties as direct licensees of Grantor to use the Intellectual Property if an Event of Default exists and to enable such direct licensees to exercise any rights and remedies of Secured Parties as such licensees reasonably deem necessary or appropriate and Grantor agrees to enter into direct written licenses with the parties as designated on the same terms as would be applicable to a sublicense, and any such direct license may, depending on the relevant local requirements, be either (a) in lieu of a sublicense or (b) supplemental to a sublicense. In either case, the parties hereto shall cooperate to determine what shall be necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. For each sublicense to a sublicensee and direct license to a licensee, Grantor appoints Administrative Agent its agent for the purpose of exercising quality control over the sublicensee. Grantor shall execute this Agreement in any form, content and language suitable for recordation, notice and/or registration in all available and appropriate agencies of foreign countries as Administrative Agent may require.
(m) In connection with the assignment or other transfer (in whole or in part) of its obligations to any other Person, Administrative Agent may assign the license granted herein without Grantor’s consent and upon such assignment or transfer such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to Administrative Agent under this Agreement (to the extent of such assignment or transfer).
21
(n) The parties hereto shall take reasonable action to preserve the confidentiality of the Intellectual Property; provided, that Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to any Person for any disclosure of the Intellectual Property upon and after any realization upon Collateral.
(o) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, nothing herein obligates any Grantor to pursue registration or other protection of, and any Grantor may abandon, relinquish, withdraw or release, any Intellectual Property determined by such Grantor as not in any way material to the conduct of its business or operations.
4.4. Rights to Dividends and Distributions. With respect to any certificates, bonds, or other Instruments or Securities constituting a part of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall have authority if an Event of Default exists and is continuing, either to have the same registered in Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of a nominee, and, with or without such registration, to demand of the issuer thereof, and to receive and receipt for, any and all dividends (including any stock or similar dividend or distribution) payable in respect thereof, whether they be ordinary or extraordinary. Administrative Agent shall send to the respective Grantor notice of Administrative Agent’s election to take any action described in the preceding sentence; provided any failure of any Grantor to receive any such notice shall not invalidate any action taken by Administrative Agent or impair any of its rights. If any Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any interest in or certificate (including, without limitation, any interest in or certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase, or reduction of capital, or issued in connection with any reorganization), or any option or rights arising from or relating to any of the Collateral, whether as an addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral, or otherwise, each Grantor agrees to accept the same as Administrative Agent’s agent and to hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of Administrative Agent, and to deliver the same immediately to Administrative Agent in the exact form received, with appropriate undated stock or similar powers, duly executed in blank, to be held by Administrative Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as Collateral. Unless an Event of Default exists, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of any of the Collateral (subject to the restrictions of any other Loan Document). Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all dividends and distributions, and to any sums paid upon or in respect of any Collateral, upon the liquidation, dissolution, or reorganization of the issuer thereof (except those constituting Dispositions permitted under the Credit Agreement) which shall be paid to Administrative Agent to be held by it as additional collateral security for and application to the Secured Obligations at the discretion of Administrative Agent. All dividends paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral which are received by any Grantor in violation of this Agreement shall, until paid or delivered to Administrative Agent, be held by each Grantor in trust as additional Collateral for the Secured Obligations.
4.5. Right of Administrative Agent to Notify Issuers. If an Event of Default exists and is continuing and at such other times as Administrative Agent is entitled to receive dividends and other property in respect of or consisting of any Collateral which is or represents an equity or ownership interest in any Person (“Securities Collateral”), Administrative Agent may notify issuers of the Securities Collateral to make payments of all dividends and distributions directly to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent may take control of all Proceeds of any
22
Securities Collateral. Until Administrative Agent elects to exercise such rights, if an Event of Default exists, each Grantor, as agent of Administrative Agent, shall collect and segregate all dividends and other amounts paid or distributed with respect to the Securities Collateral.
4.6. Insurance. All policies of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement insuring the Equipment and Inventory shall be written for the benefit of Administrative Agent for itself and the other Secured Parties and each Grantor, as their interests may appear, and shall provide for at least thirty days’ prior written notice of cancellation to Administrative Agent. Upon reasonable request by Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall promptly furnish to Administrative Agent evidence of such insurance in form and content satisfactory to Administrative Agent. If any Grantor fails to perform or observe any applicable covenants as to insurance, Administrative Agent may at its option obtain insurance on only Secured Parties’ interest in the Equipment and Inventory, any premium thereby paid by Administrative Agent to become part of the Secured Obligations, bear interest prior to the existence of an Event of Default, at the then applicable Base Rate, and during the existence of an Event of Default, at the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate and (ii) the Default Rate. If Administrative Agent maintains such substitute insurance, the premium for such insurance shall be due on demand and payable by the applicable Grantor to Administrative Agent. Each Grantor grants and appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact to, if an Event of Default exists, endorse any check or draft that may be payable to each such Grantor in order to collect any payments in respect of insurance, including any refunds of unearned premiums in connection with any cancellation, adjustment, or termination of any policy of insurance. Any such sums collected by Administrative Agent shall be credited, except to the extent applied to the purchase by Administrative Agent of similar insurance, to any amounts then owing on the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
4.7. Transfers and Other Liens. No Grantor shall (a) Dispose of any of the Collateral, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (b) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for Permitted Liens.
4.8. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of each Grantor and in the name of each Grantor or otherwise to take any action and to execute any instrument which Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation (provided that, except as otherwise authorized in any lockbox servicing or deposit account agreement with respect to clause (c) below, the actions listed in clauses (b), (c) and (d) below may only be taken or exercised if an Event of Default exists):

4.9. Dilution of Ownership. As to any Pledged Equity Interests, unless otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Grantor will consent to or approve of the issuance of (a) any additional shares of any class of Equity Interests of such issuer (unless issued to one or more Grantors and immediately upon such issuance the additional Equity Interests are pledged and delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof to the extent necessary to give Administrative Agent a security interest after such issuance in at least the same percentage of such issuer’s outstanding securities or other equity interest as Administrative Agent had before such issuance), (b) any instrument convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition into, or exchangeable for, any such securities or other equity interests (unless issued to one or more Grantors and immediately upon such issuance such instrument is pledged and delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof), or (c) any warrants, options, contracts or other commitments entitling any third party to purchase or otherwise acquire any such securities or other equity interests. The foregoing shall not apply to any equity interests in Borrower.
4.10. Restrictions on Securities. No Grantor will enter into any agreement creating, or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Pledged Equity Interests, except as (a) consented to in writing by Administrative Agent, (b) required by provisions of applicable Securities Laws or state securities Laws (which provisions are subject to Laws that expressly prohibit waiver of such provision), or (c) otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement. No issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests, which is either a partnership or limited liability company, shall amend or restate its partnership agreement or certificate of organization or operating agreement, respectively, or other governance document, to provide that any Equity Interest of such issuer is a security governed by Chapter 8 of the UCC or permit any Equity Interest of such issuer to be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument (unless immediately upon issuance such certificate or instrument is pledged and delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof).
24
4.11. Administration of Inventory.
(a) Grantors shall keep accurate and complete records of all Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and additions, and shall submit to Administrative Agent inventory and reconciliation reports in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, on such periodic basis as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Each Grantor shall conduct a physical inventory at least once per calendar year (and on a more frequent basis if requested by Administrative Agent when an Event of Default exists) and periodic cycle counts consistent with historical practices, and shall provide to Administrative Agent a report based on each such inventory and count promptly upon completion thereof, together with such supporting information as Administrative Agent may request (including any Quarry Tech or other reports measuring piles of Inventory). Administrative Agent may participate in and observe each physical count.
(b) No Grantor shall return any Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless (i) such return is in the ordinary course of business, (ii) no Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (iii) Administrative Agent is promptly notified if the aggregate Value of all Inventory (other than replacement parts and manufacturing supplies) returned in any month exceeds $1,000,000, and (iv) any payment received by a Grantor for a return is promptly remitted to a lockbox for deposit into a Dominion Account.
(c) No Grantor shall acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval, and shall take all steps to assure that all Inventory is produced in accordance with Applicable Law. No Grantor shall sell any Inventory on consignment or approval or any other basis under which, in each case, the customer may return or require a Grantor to repurchase such Inventory, provided, that the Grantors may store or consign immaterial amounts of Inventory that do not constitute Eligible Inventory with customers who agree to pay for such Inventory as and when they withdraw it from storage or consignment. Each Grantor shall use, store and maintain all Inventory with reasonable care and caution, in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in material conformity with all Applicable Law, and shall make current rent and royalty payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in leases) at all locations where any Collateral is located or mined.
4.12. Administration of Rolling Stock
(a) Each Grantor shall keep accurate and complete records of its Rolling Stock, including kind, quantity, cost, acquisitions and dispositions thereof, and shall submit to Administrative Agent, on such periodic basis as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, a current schedule thereof, in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Promptly upon request, each Grantor shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence of its ownership or interests in any Eligible Rolling Stock.
(b) Each Grantor shall maintain its Eligible Rolling Stock in good operating condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
25
4.13. Locations of Collateral.
(a) All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory and Rolling Stock in transit, shall at all times be kept by the Grantors at the business locations set forth in Schedule 2, except that the Grantors may (i) make sales or other dispositions of Collateral in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and (ii) move Collateral to other locations in the United States (not set forth in Schedule 2), upon 30 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent.
(b) Upon request, provide Administrative Agent with copies of all existing agreements and future agreements between any Grantor and any landlord, warehouseman, processor, shipper, bailee or other Person that owns any premises at which any material amount of Collateral may be kept or that otherwise may possess or handle any material amount of Collateral.
ARTICLE V
RIGHTS AND POWERS OF SECURED PARTIES.
5.1. Administrative Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each such Grantor under Section 5.5.
5.2. Administrative Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by Secured Parties hereunder, neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Administrative Agent accords its own property. Except as provided in this Section 5.2, neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty or liability to protect or preserve any Collateral or to preserve rights pertaining thereto. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring or obligating Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required or obligated, to (a) present or file any claim or notice or take any action, with respect to any Collateral or in connection therewith or (b) notify any Grantor of any decline in the value of any Collateral.
5.3. Remedies. If an Event of Default exists:
26
(a) Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it or any other Secured Party pursuant to any Applicable Law, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may require each Grantor to, and each Grantor will at its expense and upon request of Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Administrative Agent and make it available to Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties at public or private sale, at any of Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, ten days’ notice to each Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) All cash proceeds received by Administrative Agent upon any sale of, collection of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.
(c) All payments received by each Grantor under or in connection with any Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of each such Grantor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(d) Because of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and other Laws, including without limitation state “blue sky” Laws, or contractual restrictions or agreements, there may be legal restrictions or limitations affecting Administrative Agent in any attempts to dispose of the Collateral and the enforcement of rights under this Agreement. For these reasons, Administrative Agent is authorized by each Grantor, but not obligated, if any Event of Default exists, to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral at private sale, subject to an investment letter, or in any other manner which will not require the Collateral, or any part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the Securities Act, or any other Law. Administrative Agent is also hereby authorized by each Grantor, but not obligated, to take such actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as Administrative Agent may deem required or appropriate under the Securities Act or other securities Laws or other Laws or contractual restrictions or agreements in the event of a sale or disposition of any Collateral. Each Grantor understands that Administrative Agent may in its discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Collateral than would otherwise be obtainable if same were registered and/or sold in the open market. No sale so made in good faith by Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be not “commercially reasonable” because so made. Each Grantor agrees that if an Event of Default exists, and Administrative Agent sells the Collateral or any portion
27
thereof at any private sale or sales, Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of appraisers and other Persons, which appraisers and other Persons are acceptable to Administrative Agent, as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such a private sale thereof. In the absence of bad faith or gross negligence, such reliance shall be prima facie evidence that Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner under Applicable Law.
(e) After notice to Grantor, Administrative Agent and such Persons as Administrative Agent may reasonably designate shall have the right, at Grantor’s own cost and expense, to verify under reasonable procedures, the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition, and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral (excluding, for the purposes of this clause, Accounts as to which Administrative Agent’s rights are set forth in Section 4.2), including, in the case of any such Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting the third person possessing such Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.
(f) For purposes of enabling Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement, each Grantor grants (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by a license with respect thereto) to Administrative Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor or any other Person, provided, that if the license granted to Administrative Agent is a sublicense, each Grantor shall be solely responsible for, and indemnify Administrative Agent against, any royalty or other compensation payable to Grantor’s licensor or other Person) to use, if an Event of Default exists, all of Grantor’s Software, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded and all related manuals.
(g) For the purpose of enabling Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement, each Grantor grants (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by a license with respect thereto) to Administrative Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor or any other Person) to use, license, or sub-license, if an Event of Default exists, any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software used for the use, compilation, or printout thereof. In connection therewith, each Grantor shall execute and deliver a license agreement to Administrative Agent to evidence the grant of such license. The use of such license by Administrative Agent shall be exercised, at the option of Administrative Agent, if an Event of Default exists; provided that any license, sub-license, or other transaction entered into by Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default; provided further, Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to limit the duration of each such license or sub-license to the time period ending upon the cure of such Event of Default in accordance with the Loan Documents.
28
5.4. Appointment of Receiver or Trustee. In connection with the exercise of Secured Parties’ rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent may, if an Event of Default exists resulting in the acceleration of any of the Secured Obligations or following any Loan Party’s failure to pay any of the Secured Obligations at maturity, obtain the appointment of a receiver or trustee to assume, upon receipt of all necessary judicial or other Governmental Authority consents or approvals, control of or ownership of any Permits. Such receiver or trustee shall have all rights and powers provided to it by Law or by court order or provided to Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Upon the appointment of such trustee or receiver, each Grantor shall cooperate, to the extent necessary or appropriate, in the expeditious preparation, execution, and filing of an application to any Governmental Authority or for consent to the transfer of control or assignment of each Grantor’s Permits to the receiver or trustee.
5.5. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES
(a) EACH GRANTOR SHALL INDEMNIFY (WHICH SHALL BE PAYABLE FROM TIME TO TIME ON DEMAND) SECURED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, AND LIABILITIES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) GROWING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT), EXPRESSLY INCLUDING SUCH CLAIMS, LOSSES, OR LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF MERE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY SECURED PARTY, EXCEPT CLAIMS, LOSSES, OR LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM ANY SECURED PARTY’S (i) GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR (ii) BREACH IN BAD FAITH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT.
(b) EACH GRANTOR WILL UPON DEMAND PAY TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AND EACH SUB-AGENT THEREOF) AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES THE AMOUNT OF ANY AND ALL REASONABLE EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF ITS COUNSEL AND OF ANY EXPERTS AND AGENTS, WHICH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AND EACH SUB-AGENT THEREOF) AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(c) EACH GRANTOR WILL UPON DEMAND PAY TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AND EACH SUB-AGENT THEREOF), EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES THE AMOUNT OF ANY AND ALL EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF ITS COUNSEL AND OF ANY EXPERTS AND AGENTS, WHICH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AND EACH SUB-AGENT THEREOF), SUCH OTHER SECURED PARTY AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) THE CUSTODY, PRESERVATION, USE OR OPERATION OF, OR THE SALE OF, COLLECTION FROM, OR OTHER REALIZATION UPON, ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, (II) THE EXERCISE OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE
29
RIGHTS OF ANY SECURED PARTY HEREUNDER, OR (III) THE FAILURE BY GRANTOR TO PERFORM OR OBSERVE ANY OF THE PROVISIONS HEREOF.
ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1. Maximum Liability. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Grantor (other than Borrower) hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of each Grantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of each Grantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to other Loan Parties or Affiliates of other Loan Parties to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid or property conveyed by each Grantor under the Loan Documents) and after giving effect as assets, subject to Section 6.2, to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation or contribution of each Grantor pursuant to (a) Applicable Law or (b) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among each Grantor and other Loan Parties of obligations arising under the Loan Documents.
6.2. Waiver of Subrogation. No Grantor shall assert, enforce, or otherwise exercise (a) any right of subrogation to any of the rights or Liens of any Secured Party or any other beneficiary against any other Loan Party or any Collateral or other security, or (b) any right of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, indemnification, or similar right against any other Loan Party on all or any part of the Obligations or any other Loan Party, and each Grantor hereby waives any and all of the foregoing rights and the benefit of, and any right to participate in, and Collateral or other security given to or for the benefit of any Secured Party or any other beneficiary to secure payment of the Obligations. This Section 6.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and any satisfaction and discharge of each Grantor by virtue of any payment, court order, or Law.
6.3. Cumulative Rights. All rights of Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party under the Loan Documents are cumulative of each other and of every other right which Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party may otherwise have at Law or in equity or under any other agreement. The exercise of one or more rights shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights.
6.4. Amendments; Waivers. Any term, covenant, agreement, or condition of this Agreement may be amended, and any right under this Agreement may be waived, if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, by each Grantor. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver, a waiver of any right under this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No election not to exercise, failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, nor any course of dealing or performance, shall operate as a waiver of any right of any
30
Secured Party under this Agreement or Applicable Law, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right of any Secured Party under this Agreement or Applicable Law.
6.5. Continuing Security Interest.
(a) This Agreement creates a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (x) remain in full force and effect until the Release Date, (y) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and (z) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Administrative Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the Release Date, this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the granting parties and Administrative Agent will, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to each Grantor or authorize such Grantor to file such documents (including without limitation UCC termination statements) as each such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by or on behalf of Administrative Agent hereunder. Each Grantor agrees that to the extent that Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party receives any payment or benefit and such payment or benefit, or any part thereof, is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or benefit, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or benefit had not been made and, further, any such repayment by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, to the extent that Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party did not directly receive a corresponding cash payment, shall be added to and be additional Secured Obligations payable upon demand by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party and secured hereby, and, if the Lien and security interest hereof shall have been released, such Lien and security interest shall be reinstated with the same effect and priority as on the date of execution hereof all as if no release of such Lien or security interest had ever occurred.
(b) In connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Lien pursuant to this Agreement on such sold or disposed of Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with the sale or other disposition of Collateral permitted under the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt from the Borrower of a written request for the release of such Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, identifying such Collateral, deliver to such Grantor, as the case may be, such Collateral held by Administrative Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to the relevant Grantor (at the sole cost and expense of such Grantor) or authorize such Grantor to file all releases or other documents (including without limitation UCC termination statements) necessary or reasonably desirable for the release of Liens created hereby on such Collateral as such Grantor may reasonably request.

(c) EACH GRANTOR, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION.

(a) any amendment, addition, or supplement to, or restatement of any Loan Document or any instrument delivered in connection therewith or any assignment or transfer thereof;
(b) any exercise, non-exercise, or waiver by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under or in respect of, or any release of any guaranty, any collateral, or the Collateral or any part thereof provided pursuant to, this Agreement or any Loan Document;
