SECTION 8
Insurance.
 
8.1.  Maintenance of Insurance.  Each Company will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with respect to its properties and business against such casualties and contingencies as shall be in accordance with general practices of businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas.  Such insurance shall be in such minimum amounts that each Company will not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws, regulations and policies and otherwise shall be in such amounts, contain such terms, be in such forms and be for such periods as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Investor.  In addition, all such insurance shall be payable to the Investor as loss payee under a “standard” or “New York” loss payee clause (subject to the terms of the DLL Intercreditor Agreement).  Without limiting the foregoing, each Company will (i) keep all of its physical property insured with casualty or physical hazard insurance on an “all risks” basis, with broad form flood and earthquake coverages and electronic data processing coverage, with a full replacement cost endorsement and an “agreed amount” clause in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of such property, (ii) maintain all such workers’ compensation or similar insurance as may be required by law and (iii) maintain, in amounts and with deductibles equal to those generally maintained by businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas, general public liability insurance against claims of bodily injury, death or property damage occurring, on, in or about the properties of such Company; business interruption insurance; and product liability insurance.
 
8.2.  Insurance Proceeds.  The proceeds of any casualty insurance in respect of any casualty loss of any of the Collateral shall, subject to the rights, if any, of other parties with an interest having priority in the property covered thereby:  (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and to the extent that the amount of such proceeds is less than $500,000, be disbursed to the applicable Company for direct application by such Company solely to the repair or replacement of such Company’s property so damaged or destroyed, (ii) in all other circumstances, be held by the Investor as cash collateral for the Obligations.  The Investor may, at its sole option, disburse from time to time all or any part of such proceeds so held as cash collateral, upon such terms and conditions as the Investor may reasonably prescribe, for direct application by such Company solely to the repair or replacement of such Company’s property so damaged or destroyed, or the Investor may apply all or any part of such proceeds to the Obligations.  For the avoidance of doubt, references to the proceeds of casualty insurance under this Section 8.2 shall not include the proceeds of any keyman life insurance of any Company assigned to the Investor under Section 8.12 of the Loan Agreement, all of which shall be paid directly to the Investor.
 
8.3.  Continuation of Insurance.  All policies of insurance shall provide:  (i) for at least 30 days prior written cancellation notice to the Investor for any cancellation unrelated to the payment of premiums and (ii) for at least 10 days prior written cancellation relating to the failure to pay premiums. In the event of failure by any Company to provide and maintain insurance as herein provided within ten (10) days’ following such Company’s receipt of written notice of such failure from the Investor, the Investor may, at its option, provide such insurance and charge the amount thereof to such Company.  Each Company shall, upon the request of the Investor, furnish the Investor with certificates of insurance and copies of endorsements evidencing compliance with the foregoing insurance provision.

SECTION 9
Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.
 
9.1.  Expenses Incurred by Investor.  In the Investor’s discretion, upon notice to the Company, if any Company fails to do so, the Investor may discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees or insurance premiums.  Each Company agrees to reimburse the Investor on demand for all expenditures so made.  The Investor shall have no obligation to any Company to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed as a waiver or cure any Default or Event of Default.
 
9.2.  Investor’s Obligations and Duties.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Company shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by such Company thereunder.  The Investor shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Investor of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Investor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Company under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Investor in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Investor or to which the Investor may be entitled at any time or times.  The Investor’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under § 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Investor deals with similar property for its own account.
 
 
SECTION 10
Securities and Deposits.
 
The Investor may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations.  Whether or not any Obligations are due, the Investor may following and during the continuance of an Event of Default demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral.  Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Investor to any Company may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations then due and owing.
 
 
SECTION 11
Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral
 
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Company shall, at the request and option of the Investor, notify account debtors and other Persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of the Investor in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Investor or to any financial institution designated by the Investor as the Investor’s agent therefor, and the Investor may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon any Company, so notify account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral.  Subject to the DLL Intercreditor Agreement, after the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, each Company shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by such Company as trustee for the Investor without commingling the same with other funds of such Company and shall turn the same over to the Investor in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments.  The Investor shall apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Investor to the Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

(b) to the extent that such Company’s authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without such Company’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Investor may deem appropriate and to execute in such Company’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require such Company’s signature.

12.3.  No Duty on Investor.  The powers conferred on the Investor hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  The Investor shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and each Company agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Investor and its officers, directors, employees or agents from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or resulting from the Agreement (including without limitation enforcement of this Agreement) or Investor’s interest in the Collateral, except for claims, losses or liabilities arising or resulting sole from the Investor’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
 
SECTION 13
Rights and Remedies.
 
13.1.  Exercise of Rights and Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Investor, without any other notice to or demand upon any Company, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and any additional rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, and for that purpose the Investor may, so far as any Company can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.  The Investor may in its discretion require any Company to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of any Company’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Investor may reasonably designate.  Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Investor shall give to any Company at least (10) ten Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made.  Each Company hereby acknowledges that (10) ten Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice.  In addition, each Company waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Investor’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following and during the continuation of an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto provided that such rights and remedies are exercised in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code.  In addition, the Investor may take actions specified in Sections 13.2, 13.3 and 13.5 hereof after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but not prior thereto or after an Event of Default has been waived in writing by the Investor.
 
13.2.  Exercise of Rights and Remedies with Respect to Securities.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
 
 
19

 
(a) Investor may transfer or cause to be transferred any of the pledged Securities into its own or a nominee’s or nominees’ names.

13.4.  Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies.  To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Investor to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Investor:

(b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of,
 
(c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral,
 
(d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists,

Each Company acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 13.4 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Investor would fulfill the Investor’s duties under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Investor’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Investor shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 13.4.  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.4 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Company or to impose any duties on the Investor that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 13.4.
 
 
21

 
13.5.  Sale of Securities.
 
(a) The Companies recognize that Investor may be unable to effect a sale to the public of all or part of the Securities by reason of certain prohibitions or restrictions in the federal or state securities laws and regulations (herein collectively called the “Securities Laws”), or the provisions of other federal and state laws, regulations or rulings, but may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be required to agree to acquire the Securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the further distribution or resale thereof without restriction.  The Companies agree that any sale(s) so made may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the Companies than if the Securities were sold to the public, and that Investor has no obligation to delay sale of the Securities for period(s) of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register the Securities for sale to the public under any of the Securities Laws.  The Companies agree that negotiated sales whether for cash or credit made under the foregoing circumstances shall not be deemed for that reason not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Companies shall cooperate with Investor and shall satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws applicable to the sale or transfer of the Securities by Investor.
 
(b) In connection with any sale or disposition of the Collateral, Investor is authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction as it may be advised by its counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or to obtain any required approval of the purchaser(s) by any governmental regulatory body or officer and it is agreed that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner nor shall Investor be liable or accountable by reason of the fact that the proceeds obtained at such sale(s) are less than might otherwise have been obtained.
 
(c) Investor may elect to obtain the advice of any independent nationally-known investment banking firm, which is a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, with respect to the method and manner of sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral, the best price reasonably obtainable therefor, the consideration of cash and/or credit terms, or any other details concerning such sale or disposition.  Investor, in its sole discretion, may elect to sell on such credit terms which it deems reasonable.
 
 
SECTION 14
No Waiver by Investor, etc.
 
The Investor shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights and remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Investor.  No delay or omission on the part of the Investor in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy.  A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.  All rights and remedies of the Investor with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Investor deems expedient.

SECTION 17
Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses.
 
Each Company shall pay to the Investor on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Investor in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Investor’s rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral.  After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as the Investor may determine or in such order or preference as is provided in the Facilities Agreement, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due.  Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9- 608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, any excess shall be returned to the Companies.  In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, the Companies shall remain liable for any deficiency.

The Companies agree that any action or claim arising out of any dispute in connection with this Agreement, any rights or obligations hereunder or the performance or enforcement of such rights or obligations may be brought in the courts of the State or any federal court sitting therein and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court and to service of process in any such suit being made upon the Company by regular or certified mail at the address specified in Section 22.  Each Company hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Company agrees that any action brought by such Company shall be commenced and maintained only in a court in the federal judicial district or county in which the Investor has its principal place of business in the State.
