Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower expressly agrees
that in any such event the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice provisions otherwise
contained in this Agreement and the notice specified below of time and place of
public or private sale) to or upon the Borrower or any other Person (all and
each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly
waived), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels
at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of
the Agent’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or
on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The
Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the
extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the
whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption in the Borrower which shall be released. The Borrower further agrees,
at the Agent’s request, to assemble (or cause its agents to assemble) the
Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall
reasonably select, whether at the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. The Agent
shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safekeeping
or

 

-11-

 

otherwise of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights
of the Agent hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses,
to payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in the manner provided in the
Credit Agreement, the Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency remaining
unpaid after such application, and only after paying over such net proceeds and
after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of
law, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower waives all claims, damages, and
demands against the Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of
the Collateral. Subject to the notice provisions otherwise contained in this
Agreement, the Borrower agrees that the Agent need not give more than 10 days’
notice (which notification shall be deemed given, when mailed, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 8.2 hereof) of the
time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may
take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The
Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the
Agent is entitled, the Borrower also being liable for the reasonable fees of any
attorneys employed by the Agent to collect such deficiency.

 

6.3            The Borrower also agrees to pay all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Agent with respect to the collection
of any of the Obligations and the enforcement of any of the Agent’s rights
hereunder.

 

6.4            The Borrower hereby waives (i) presentment, demand, protest or
any notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection
with this Agreement or any Collateral, except as otherwise provided herein, (ii)
all rights to seek from any court any bond or security prior to the exercise by
the Agent of any remedy described herein, (iii) the benefit of all valuation,
appraisement and exemption laws, and (iv) all rights to demand or to have any
marshalling of assets upon any power of sale granted herein or pursuant to
judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure or any enforcement of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

6.5            Without limiting the generality of any of the rights and remedies
conferred upon the Agent in this Agreement, the Agent may, after the occurrence
of an Event of Default and to the full extent permitted by applicable law: (i)
take immediate possession of the Collateral, either personally or by means of a
receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) at the Agent’s
option, use, operate, manage and control the Collateral in any lawful manner;
(iii) collect and receive all rents, income, revenue, earnings, issues and
profits therefrom; and (iv) maintain, repair, renovate, alter or remove the
Collateral as the Agent may determine in its sole discretion or any Loan
Document.

 

VII.INDEMNIFICATION

 

7.1            Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to pay, reimburse, indemnify
and hold harmless, the Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates and Subsidiaries
and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives from and against any and all actions, costs, damages,
disbursements, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments,
liabilities, losses, obligations, penalties and suits of any kind or nature
whatsoever with respect to (except in the case of gross negligence or willful

thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with any of the Collateral; and

 

(c)                any and all recording and filing fees and taxes, and any and
all liabilities with respect thereto, or resulting from any delay in paying
stamp and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable
in connection with the Collateral.

  

VIII.MISCELLANEOUS

 

8.1            Reasonable Care. The Agent shall have no duty with respect to the
care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care.

preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property,
it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for (a)
ascertaining or taking action with respect to any claims, the nature or
sufficiency of any payment or performance by any party under or pursuant to any
agreement relating to the Collateral or other matters relative to any
Collateral, whether or not the Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such
matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
parties with respect to any Collateral. Nothing set forth in this Agreement, nor
the exercise by the Agent of any of the rights and remedies hereunder, shall
relieve the Borrower from the performance of any obligation on the Borrower’s
part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral.

8.3            No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no
delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent, any right, power or privilege
hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.

 

8.4            Survival of Agreements. All agreements, representations and
warranties made herein, and in any certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the
making of any advances under the Revolving Notes.

of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party
granting such modification, amendment or waiver, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given.

without the prior written consent of the Agent.

 

8.7            Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained

the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

  

8.8            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties
hereto on any number of separate counterparts and all such counterparts taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

8.9            Governing Law; No Third Party Rights. This Agreement and the
rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and
construed and interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of New York
without regard to its conflict of laws principles. This Agreement is solely for
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns,

under or because of the existence of, this Agreement.

 

8.10          Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Personal Service.
AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL, THE BORROWER AND THE AGENT HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION INVOLVING THE SUBJECT
