The Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable Requirements of 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 Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not assign or otherwise dispose of any Trademark owned by any Grantor without assigning the assets and goodwill of the business associated therewith and any such assignment without doing so shall be null and void.
(c) Management of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees that, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at the Administrative Agent’s request, it shall assemble all or part of the tangible Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent is able to Sell any Collateral, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and (iv) the Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.
(d) Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply the cash proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.1, after deducting all reasonable documented and out-of-pocket 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 Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any Requirement of Law, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.

(e) Direct Obligation. Neither the Administrative 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 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 Administrative 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 Requirement of Law. 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 Administrative Agent or any 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 of any Collateral shall be a Requirement of Law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such Sale.
(f) Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to do any of the following:
(i) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Administrative 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 Requirements of 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 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 Administrative Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.
Each Grantor 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 Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section 6.1.
(g) IP Licenses. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative 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 or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at and during the continuation of such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable (until the Termination Date), 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 (with respect to Trademarks, subject to reasonable quality control in favor of such Grantor) 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 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; provided that no such license shall be granted with respect to any Excluded Assets.
(h) Additional Rights of the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Grantors party hereto and each of the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, agree, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to “credit bid” any or all of the Secured Obligations in connection with any sale or foreclosure proceeding in respect of the Collateral, including without limitation, sales occurring pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or included as party of any plan subject to confirmation under Section 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor.

(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(ii) the Administrative Agent may, without notice, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its accounts or amounts due under general intangibles that are Collateral or any thereof and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with account debtors to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or amounts due under any general intangible that is Collateral. In addition, the Administrative Agent may at any time enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general intangibles that are Collateral; and

Section 6.3 Pledged Collateral. (a) Voting Rights. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Administrative 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 Administrative 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, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) during the existence of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative 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 only terminate upon the Termination Date.
(c) Authorization of Issuers; Dividends and Distributions. 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 Administrative Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying and (ii) following the occurrence of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, pay all dividends and make all other payments, distributions, redemptions and returns of capital with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent.

Section 6.4 Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement or this Agreement and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. All proceeds being held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.
Section 6.5 Registration Rights. (a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, it is necessary or advisable to Sell any portion of the Pledged Collateral following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default 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 Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Collateral or that portion thereof to be Sold under the provisions of the Securities Act, all as directed by the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent shall designate.
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative 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 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 securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative 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.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable 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 6.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 6.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Administrative 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 6.5 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 and is continuing under the Credit Agreement.
Section 6.6 Deficiency. Each Grantor 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 Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor waives any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by Administrative Agent.
Section 6.7 FCC Licenses. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent this Agreement or any other Loan Document purports to require any Grantor to grant to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, a Lien or Liens on any of the FCC Licenses of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, shall only have a Lien or Liens on such FCC Licenses at such times and to the extent that a Lien or Liens, as the case may be, on such FCC Licenses is permitted under applicable Requirements of Law, but the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, shall have Liens, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on all rights incident or appurtenant to such FCC Licenses and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the right to receive all proceeds derived from or in connection with the Sale of such FCC Licenses or the facilities authorized by such FCC Licenses to which such FCC Licenses are assigned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, agrees that to the extent prior FCC approval is required pursuant to the Communications Laws for (a) the operation and effectiveness of any grant, right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (b) taking any action that may be taken by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such grant, right, remedy or actions will be subject to such prior FCC approval having been obtained by or in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties. Each of the Grantors executing this Agreement agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Loan Documents, and at the Administrative Agent’s request, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, such Grantor shall promptly file, or cause to be filed, such applications for approval and shall take all other and further actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, to obtain such FCC approvals or consents as are reasonably necessary to transfer ownership and control to the Administrative Agent or trustee or other fiduciary acting in lieu of the Administrative Agent in order to ensure compliance with Section 310(b) and 310(d) of the Communications Act and any other provision of the Communications Laws, on behalf and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, or their successors or assigns, of the FCC Licenses held by it.

(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall, and, if applicable, shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take any action which the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in the exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in order to transfer or assign any Collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties or to such one or more third parties as the Administrative Agent may designate, or to a combination of the foregoing.
(c) To enforce the provisions of this Section 6.7, the Administrative Agent is empowered to seek from the FCC and any other Governmental Authority, to the extent required, consent to or approval of any involuntary transfer of control of any entity whose Collateral is subject to this Agreement for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser to whom control ultimately will be transferred. Each Grantor agrees to, and, if applicable, shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to agree to, cooperate with any such purchaser and with the Administrative Agent in the preparation, execution and filing of any forms and providing any information that may be necessary in obtaining the consent of the FCC or any other Governmental Authority to the assignment to such purchaser of the Collateral, provided that no such filing of any application with the FCC shall be made unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and unless the Administrative Agent’s enforcement actions giving rise thereto are in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor agrees to, and, if applicable, shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, consent to any such voluntary or involuntary transfer after and during the continuation of an Event of Default and without limiting any rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under any Loan Document, to authorize the Administrative Agent to nominate a trustee or receiver selected by the Administrative Agent to assume control of the Collateral, subject only to required judicial, FCC or other consents required by any Governmental Authority, in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.7. Such trustee or receiver shall have all the rights and powers as provided to it by law or court order, or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees to, and, if applicable, shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, cooperate to the extent necessary to obtain the consent of the FCC and the approval or consent of each other Governmental Authority required to effectuate the foregoing. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor agrees to, and, if applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its Subsidiaries to take all actions reasonably necessary to obtain all approvals, authorizations, consents or waivers necessary to transfer ownership and control of the FCC Licenses to any trustee, receiver or bona fide purchaser on behalf of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, including (i) the prompt filing of all applications with the FCC or the other applicable Governmental Authorities following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations, and (ii) assisting in obtaining all approvals, authorizations, consents or waivers necessary for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such actions shall include, without limitation, providing to the Administrative Agent any FCC registration numbers, tax identification numbers, account numbers and passwords for the FCC’s CDBS electronic filing system.

(d) Without limiting the obligations of any Grantor hereunder in any respect, each Grantor further agrees that if it, or any of its Subsidiaries, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, should fail or refuse to comply with this Section 6.7 for any reason whatsoever (other than for the reason that the action is in contravention of the Intercreditor Agreement), without limitation, including any refusal to execute and file any completed application necessary or appropriate to obtain any governmental consent necessary or appropriate for the exercise of any right of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder or under any Loan Document, each Grantor agrees that such application may be executed and filed on such Grantor’s behalf by the clerk of any court of competent jurisdiction without notice to such Grantor pursuant to court order; provided that no such filing of any application with the FCC shall be made unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
In connection with this Section 6.7, each of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely in good faith upon an opinion of outside FCC counsel of the Administrative Agent’s choice with respect to any such assignment or transfer, whether or not such advice rendered is ultimately determined to have been accurate.
ARTICLE VII

Section 7.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

Section 7.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Grantor authorizes each of the Agents and their Related Persons, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to any Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Syndication Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the debtor”. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1 Reinstatement. Each Grantor 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 Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent such payment or repayment is annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, refunded or repaid, 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 Grantor’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 in connection with the foregoing payment, 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.

Section 8.2 Release of Collateral. (a) At the time the conditions set forth in clause (b)(iii) of Section 10.10 (Release of Collateral or Guarantors) of the Credit Agreement are satisfied, the Collateral shall be immediately and automatically released from the Lien created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall immediately and automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall immediately and automatically revert to the Grantors. Each Grantor is hereby authorized to file UCC terminations and any other documentation reasonably approved by the Syndication Agent at such time evidencing the termination of the Liens so released. At the request of any Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the Administrative Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b) If the Administrative Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 10.10(b) of the Credit Agreement to release any Lien on any Collateral, such Collateral shall be immediately and automatically released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, such clauses (i) and (ii). In connection therewith, the Administrative Agent, at the request of any Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

Section 8.3 Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative 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 or Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor 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 8.6), 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.

(b) Pledge Amendments. To the extent any Pledged Collateral has not been delivered as of the Closing Date, such Grantor shall deliver to the Agents a pledge amendment duly executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a “Pledge Amendment”). Such Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement.
Section 8.7 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon any Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.11 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Borrower’s notice address set forth in such Section 11.11.
Section 8.8 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 assigns; provided, however, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents.
Section 8.9 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 Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
