Subject to Section 5.1(g), the Security Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned; and

in the event that any Debt Obligation becomes the subject of a disposition pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Security Agent shall attempt to obtain Firm Bids (or a combination of Firm Bids) for the entire Debt Obligation from three or more Dealers (and may obtain Firm Bids from any other Person or Persons selected by the Security Agent); provided that the Security Agent may in its commercially reasonable discretion obtain Firm Bids with respect to any group or groups of such Debt Obligations. The Security Agent will give the Pledgor notice of its intention to obtain Firm Bids pursuant to this Section 5.1(g) (such notice to be given telephonically and via electronic mail) not later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the date 10 Business Days prior to the bid submission deadline specified below.

Days after any date specified by the Security Agent to the Pledgor in its commercially reasonable discretion. The Security Agent will conduct the bid process in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.1(g) and otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

(i) the Security Agent shall be entitled to disregard any Firm Bid submitted by a Dealer or other Person if, in the Security Agent’s commercially reasonable judgment, (x) such Dealer or other Person is ineligible pursuant to the documentation evidencing or otherwise governing the relevant Debt Obligation to accept assignment or transfer of the relevant Debt Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the relevant Debt Obligation, as determined by the Security Agent, or (y) such Dealer or other Person would not, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, be able to obtain any consent required under any agreement or instrument governing or otherwise relating to the relevant Debt Obligation to the assignment or transfer of the relevant Debt Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, to it; and

(ii) if the Security Agent determines on any commercially reasonable basis that any Firm Bid is not bona fide, including, without limitation, due to (x) the insolvency of the bidder or (y) the inability, failure or refusal of the bidder to settle the purchase of the relevant Debt Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, or otherwise settle transactions in the relevant market or perform its obligations generally,

such Firm Bid shall be disregarded. With respect to each Debt Obligation being sold pursuant to this Section 5.1(g), the Security Agent shall transfer, or cause the transfer of, the relevant Debt Obligation to the Person or Persons providing the highest Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids (other than any Firm Bid that is disregarded as aforesaid) in relation to such Debt Obligation; provided that, if the Security Agent has obtained Firm Bids with respect to any group of Debt Obligations, then the Security Agent shall transfer, or cause the transfer of, a group of Debt Obligations for which Firm Bids were obtained to the Person or Persons providing the highest Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids (other than any Firm Bid that is disregarded as aforesaid) in relation to such group of Debt Obligations. If any Debt Obligation is not sold in connection with the Firm Bids so obtained for any reason whatsoever (other than as a result of the failure of the Security Agent to consummate such sale as provided in this Section 5.1(g)), the Security Agent may thereafter dispose of the relevant Debt Obligation in the manner contemplated by Section 5.1(f).

The Security Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of any Debt Obligation, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Section 5.1 conducted as provided in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 5.1. To the extent the sale of any Debt

Obligation is conducted as provided in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 5.1, the Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Security Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the relevant Debt Obligation may have been sold at any private sale effected as provided above was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.

The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 5.1 shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.2.

Application of Proceeds

5.2 The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.1 (including any amounts on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Custodial Account) shall be deposited in to the Collection Account and applied by the Security Agent Custodian (at the prior written direction of an Authorized Officer of the Security Agent) in the following order of priority (and, among the items in any one paragraph, equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing):

First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Security Agent and the other Secured Parties and the reasonable and documented fees, charges and expenses of the agents and counsel of the Security Agent and the other Secured Parties and all other reasonable expenses incurred by any of the Security Agent and the other Secured Parties in connection with such collection, sale or other realization;

Second, to the payment in full of all remaining Secured Obligations then due and payable; and

Third, to the payment to the Pledgor, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, of any surplus then remaining.

Power of Attorney

5.3 The Security Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor for the purpose of taking, during any period when the Security Agent is attempting to sell all or any portion of any Debt Obligation pursuant to Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g), of taking any action and executing any instruments which the Security Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (including with respect to the exercise of any remedies hereunder against the Pledgor), which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

The Security Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Security Agent by the Pledgor or a Secured Party (other than itself), and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Schedule I of the Loan Agreement or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Security Agent.

7.3 The Security Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Security Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Security Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for an obligor on the Collateral), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable (absent gross negligence or willful misconduct) for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts (unless such advice is contrary to an express provision of a Loan Document).

7.4 The Security Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Security Agent, to the

extent such sub-agent is an Affiliate of the Security Agent. The Security Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Security Agent and any such sub-agent.

7.5 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Security Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Security Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Secured Parties and the Pledgor. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, after prior written consent from the Pledgor (not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Security Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Security Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties and after prior written consent from the Pledgor (not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint a successor Security Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York City or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Security Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Security Agent and the retiring Security Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Pledgor to a successor Security Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Pledgor and such successor. After the Security Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Security Agent.

7.6 The Security Agent Custodian shall be entitled to the same rights, protections and immunities as those afforded to the Security Agent in Sections 7.1 through 7.6, mutatis mutandis, together with those set forth in the Account Control Agreement.

Agents and Attorneys-in-Fact

8.10 The Security Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith and with due care; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute the waiver of any rights against any such agent or attorney-in-fact.

Severability

8.11 If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to either party or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any relevant jurisdiction), the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality will not otherwise affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited or unenforceable provision with a valid provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited or unenforceable provision.
