of the Collateral; (iv) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (v) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (vi) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (vii) notify, or require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make all payments directly to the Administrative Agent and change the post office box number or other address to which the Account Debtors make payments; (viii) assign any Intellectual Property Collateral (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Intellectual Property Collateral pertains), throughout the world for such terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (ix) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
SECTION 5.2.    Reserved.
SECTION 5.3.    Access and Examination.  In order to give effect to the intent of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may at all reasonable times and, if no Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon reasonable advance notice, have access to, examine, audit, make extracts from and inspect each Grantor’s records, files and books of account and the Collateral, and may discuss each Grantor’s affairs with such Grantor’s officers and management. Each Grantor will deliver to the Administrative Agent promptly following its request therefor any instrument necessary for the Administrative Agent to obtain records from any service bureau maintaining records for such Grantor. The Administrative Agent may, at the expense of the Grantors, use each Grantor’s personnel, supplies and premises as may be reasonably necessary for maintaining or enforcing the security interest granted hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time, in each Grantor’s name to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to the Receivables Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not communicate with any account obligors of the Grantors unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 5.4.    Administrative Agent Has No Duty.  %3. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Lender Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the U.C.C. or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall any 


    
39763229.11







such Person be under any obligation to Dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof (including the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any loss, damages, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of the Collateral that may occur as a result of or in connection with or that is in any way related to any exercise, except in respect of any damages attributable solely to any such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(a)    Each Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use or Disposition of the Collateral. The Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect the security interest granted hereunder or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of its Obligations.
ARTICLE VI     
REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1.    Remedies.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a)    The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it (including as provided in Section 5.1), all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the U.C.C. and also may:
(i)    require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon the request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at its premises or another place designated by the Administrative Agent (whether or not the U.C.C. applies to the affected Collateral);
(ii)    without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, obtaining a final judgment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), Dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, at least 10 days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any 


    
39763229.11







part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchase or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Lender Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Lender Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Lender Party may upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor;
(iii)    with respect to the Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the security interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Administrative Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained);
(iv)    with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located and occupy (without the requirement to pay rent) the same until the Secured Obligations are paid in full in cash (on terms and pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and all the Commitments have been irrevocably terminated; and
(v)    notify any or all banks, securities intermediaries and other financial institutions with which any Investment Accounts are maintained to remit and transfer all monies, securities and other property on deposit in or credited to such Investment Accounts or deposited, credited to or received for deposit thereafter to the Administrative Agent, for deposit in or credit to the Collateral Account or such other accounts as may be designated by the Administrative Agent, for application to the Secured Obligations as provided herein.
(b)    Without limiting clause (a), the Administrative Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies of each Grantor under or in connection with the Collateral, including the right to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of any Grantor for the Obligations or under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Rate Protection Agreement, any document or agreement relating to or on account of any Secured Bank Product, or any Assigned Agreements or 


    
39763229.11







otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, any Collateral.
SECTION 6.2.    Application of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held, to the extent permitted under Law, by the Administrative Agent as additional collateral security for all or any part of the Secured Obligations, and/or then or at any time thereafter shall be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement and Section 6.3) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations (on terms and pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), and the irrevocable termination of all the Commitments, shall be paid over to the Grantors or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
SECTION 6.3.    Indemnity and Expenses.  Subject to Section 9.1(b) of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates and their Related Parties from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from any such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor will promptly following demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of (a) any and all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent and accountants, appraisers, investment bankers, environmental advisors, management consultants and other consultants, if any, who may be retained by the Administrative Agent) which the Administrative Agent actually incurs in connection with the administration of this Agreement or the custody of any of the Collateral and (b) any and all fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent and accountants, appraisers, investment bankers, environmental advisors, management consultants and other consultants, if any, who may be retained by the Administrative Agent) which the Administrative Agent actually incurs in connection with the (i) preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the other Lender Parties hereunder or (iii) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 6.4.    Grant of License.  Each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or licensed or hereafter acquired or arising or licensed by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located throughout the world, for such terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an 


    
39763229.11







exclusive or nonexclusive basis, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that no such license or sublicense is granted in the case of any such Collateral if such license or sublicense would be prohibited by, or give rise to a right to terminate any contract governing such Collateral. The use of such license or sublicense by the Administrative Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each applicable Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
ARTICLE VII     
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 7.1.    Loan Document.  This Agreement is a Loan Document executed pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall (unless otherwise expressly indicated herein) be construed, administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, including Section 1.3 and Article XI thereof.
SECTION 7.2.    Amendments, etc.; Additional Grantors; Successors and Assigns.  (a)  No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing executed and delivered in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given; provided that, the Grantors may amend or supplement Schedules I through V attached hereto from time to time as necessary to the extent such amendment or supplement is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.  For the avoidance of doubt, no such amendment or supplement of such Schedules shall be deemed to waive any Default or Event of Default.
(a)    Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto or a Joinder Agreement (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement to “Grantor” shall also mean and refer to such Additional Grantor and (ii) the disclosure schedule attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I through V attached hereto, as appropriate, and the Administrative Agent may attach such supplemental disclosure schedules to such Schedules, and each reference to such Schedules shall refer to such Schedules as amended or supplemented by such supplemental disclosure schedules.
(b)    This Agreement shall be binding upon each Grantor and its successors, transferees and assignees, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Grantor may assign such Grantor’s obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any Loans or Commitments held by it to any other 


    
39763229.11







Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender under any Loan Document (including this Agreement) or otherwise, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 11.11 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7.3.    Protection of Collateral.  The Administrative Agent may from time to time, at its option and at the expense of the Grantors, perform any act which any Grantor agrees hereunder to perform and which such Grantor shall fail to perform after being requested  to so perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default), and the Administrative Agent may from time to time take any other action which the Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable opinion, for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.
SECTION 7.4.    Addresses for Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be made as provided in, and subject to the terms of, Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement. All notices to each Grantor shall be sent care of the Borrower at its address set forth in the Credit Agreement and all notices to the Administrative Agent shall be sent as provided in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7.5.    Section Captions.  Section captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.6.    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 7.7.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement.
SECTION 7.8.    Waivers.  Each Grantor hereby waives any right, to the extent permitted by Law, to receive prior notice of a judicial or other hearing with respect to any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the Administrative Agent to take possession, exercise control over or Dispose of any item of Collateral, where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Rate Protection Agreement or any document or agreement relating to or on account of any Secured Bank Product or by Law, or of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. Each Grantor waives, to the extent permitted by Law, any bonds, security or sureties required by the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that it will not invoke, claim or assert any benefit of Law, or take or attempt to take any action that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing the Administrative Agent from exercising any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral as herein provided. Each Grantor also consents that the Administrative Agent, in connection with the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, may enter 


    
39763229.11







upon any premises owned by or leased to it without obligations to pay rent or for use and occupancy, through self-help, without judicial process and without having first obtained an order of any court.
SECTION 7.9.    Governing Law, Entire Agreement, etc.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 7.14, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT THERETO.
SECTION 7.10.    Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction.  ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF, ANY LENDER PARTY OR GRANTOR SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH GRANTOR AND LENDER PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION. EACH GRANTOR FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH SUCH GRANTOR MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY GRANTOR HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO SUCH GRANTOR OR SUCH GRANTOR’S PROPERTY, SUCH GRANTOR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF SUCH GRANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.


    
39763229.11







SECTION 7.11.    Waiver of Jury Trial, etc..  EACH LENDER PARTY AND GRANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY LENDER PARTY OR ANY GRANTOR. EACH GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SUCH GRANTOR HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 7.12.    Waiver of Certain Claims.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO GRANTOR SHALL ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST EACH LENDER PARTY ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
SECTION 7.13.    No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.14.    Effectiveness of Amendment and Restatement; No Novation.  The amendment and restatement of the Original Security Agreement pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective on the date hereof.  All obligations and rights of the Grantors and the Administrative Agent arising out of or relating to the period commencing on the date hereof shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; the obligations and rights of the Grantors and the Administrative Agent during the period prior to the date hereof shall continue to be governed by the Original Security Agreement without giving effect to the amendment and restatement provided for herein.  This Agreement shall not constitute a novation or termination of the Grantors’ obligations under the Original Security Agreement or any document, note or agreement executed or delivered in connection therewith, but shall constitute an amendment and restatement of the obligations and covenants of the Grantors under such documents, notes and agreements, and the Grantors hereby reaffirm all such obligations and covenants, as amended and restated hereby.
This Agreement does not discharge or release the Administrative Agent’s Liens pursuant to the Original Security Agreement or the priority of any mortgage, pledge, security agreement or any other security therefor. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Grantor from any of its obligations or liabilities as “Grantor” under the Original Security Agreement. It is the intent of the parties that the security interests and Liens granted in the Collateral under and pursuant to the Original Security Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Each Grantor 


    
39763229.11







hereby agrees to execute and deliver all agreements, documents and instruments and to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable, as determined by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, to ensure that the Administrative Agent’s Liens pursuant to the Original Security Agreement continue to secure the Secured Obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor has caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written.
