5.7

Election of remedies

 

 

(a)

Each Security Provider understands that the exercise by the Security Trustee and the other Finance Parties of certain rights and remedies contained in the Finance Documents may affect or eliminate each Security Provider’s right of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Obligors and that such Security Provider may therefore incur a partially or totally non-­ reimbursable liability under this Agreement.

Each Security Provider expressly authorizes the Security Trustee and the other Finance Parties to pursue their rights and remedies with respect to the Secured Liabilities in any order or fashion they deem appropriate, in their sole and absolute discretion.

 

 

(c)

Each Security Provider waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment, or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, or subrogation or any other rights or remedies of such Security Provider against any other Obligor, any other person or any security, whether resulting from any election of rights or remedies by the Security Trustee or the other Finance Parties, or otherwise.

(b)

Each Security Provider waives any requirement that the Security Trustee or the other Finance Parties advise such Security Provider of information known to the Security Trustee or any other Finance Party regarding the financial condition or business of any Obligor, or any other circumstance bearing on the risk of non-performance of the Secured Liabilities.

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Each Security Provider ratifies and confirms all actions taken by the Security Trustee or its agents under this power of attorney.

  

 
16

 

 

 

(b)

Each Security Provider agrees that 10 days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notice m connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral.

 

 

(c)

The Security Trustee may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Collateral.

 

 

(d)

The grant to the Security Trustee under this Agreement of any right, power or remedy does not impose upon the Security Trustee any duty to exercise that right, power or remedy. The Security Trustee will have no obligation to take any steps to preserve any claim or other right against any person or with respect to any Collateral.

 

 

(e)

The Security Providers bear the risk of loss, damage, diminution in value, or destruction of the Collateral provided that, the Security Trustee shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of all Collateral in the Security Trustee’s possession in accordance with Section 9-207(a) of the UCC.

The Security Trustee will have no responsibility for any act or omission of any courier, bailee, broker, bank, investment bank or any other person chosen by it with reasonable care.

 

 

(g)

The Security Trustee makes no express or implied representations or warranties with respect to any Collateral or other property released to any Security Provider or its successors and assigns.

 

 

(h)

(j)

The sale, transfer or other disposition under this Agreement of any right, title, or interest of a Security Provider in any item of Collateral will:

 

 

(i)

operate to divest such Security Provider permanently and all persons claiming under or through such Security Provider of that right, title, or interest, and

 

 

(ii)

be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, to any claims by such Security Provider or any person claiming under or through such Security Provider,

 

with respect to that item of Collateral.

 

 
17

 

  

9.5

No marshaling

(ii)

marshal any security or guarantee securing payment or performance of the Secured Liabilities or any particular asset of such Security Provider.

(b)

second, in or towards payment of, or provision for, the Secured Liabilities in accordance with the Credit Agreement; and

 

 

(c)

third, in payment of the surplus (if any) to the Security Providers or any other person entitled to it under applicable law.

(c)

No Security Provider will be liable to an indemnified party to the extent any liability results from that indemnified party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).
