Appraised Value of all Equipment as of the Closing Date and each Delivery Date thereafter, and (iv) without limiting the foregoing, the payment and performance of the Seller’s obligations (whether monetary or otherwise) hereunder. The
Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Sold Assets, such security interest would be
deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Purchaser and its assigns (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) under applicable law and will be maintained as such
throughout the term of this Agreement. 
 (e) Consistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Sold Assets, as between the
Seller and the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have the sole right to service, administer and collect the Sold Assets and to assign and/or delegate such right to others.

 Section 6.6. Counterparts. For the purpose of facilitating the execution of this
Agreement and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same

Seller, the Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Seller may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the
Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders). The Purchaser may assign as collateral security all of its rights hereunder to the Administrative Agent, and such assignee shall have all rights of the Purchaser under this

Agent and each Lender.

hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Obligations. 
 Section 6.10. No
Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of a party hereto in the exercise of any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the parties hereto are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which
any of them would otherwise have.
