Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party.
		

			
	
			
				Section 3.  
			Grantors Remain Liable

		
			Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Grantor’s Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
		

			
	
			
				Section 4.

				 (b)
			With respect to any Security Collateral that constitutes a security entitlement as to which the Collateral Agent hereunder is not the securities intermediary, the relevant Grantor will cause the securities intermediary with respect to such security entitlement either (i) to identify in its records the Collateral Agent as the entitlement holder thereof or (ii) to agree with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such securities intermediary will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (a “Securities Account Control Agreement”).

			
	
			
				 (c)
			The Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral, subject only (to the extent applicable) to the Pledge Agreements and the rights and interests of Senior Secured Parties.    In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets credited to the Pledged Deposit Accounts or the Depositary Accounts to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly by the Collateral Agent, and to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly by the Collateral Agent to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets credited to the Pledged Deposit Accounts or the Depositary Accounts.

			
	
			
				 (d)
			Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor will notify each issuer of Security Collateral granted by it hereunder that such Security Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.

				 (c)
			The Collateral Agent may, at any time and without notice to, or consent from, any Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Pledged Deposit Accounts to satisfy any Grantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

			any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

			
	
			
				 (d)
			any manner of application of any Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

		 

		

			23Midway – Security Agreement

		

 

		

			 

		

			
	
			
				 (e)
			any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

			
	
			
				 (f)
			any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, assets, nature of assets, liabilities or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Grantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

			
	
			
				 (g)
			the failure of any other Person to execute this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Grantor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations; or

			
	
			
				 (h)
			any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Grantor or any other Grantor or a third party grantor of a security interest.

		
			This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or by any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

			The Pledgor has taken all action required on its part for control (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) to have been obtained by the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) or the Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection over all Pledged Collateral with respect to which such control may be obtained pursuant to the UCC. No Person other than the Collateral Agent (acting for the benefit of Secured Parties) or the Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection has control or possession of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Collateral in existence on the date hereof have been delivered to the Collateral Agent or the Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank.  With respect to any Pledged Equity Interest that is an uncertificated security, the Pledgor has caused the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Collateral Agent or the Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent or the Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Collateral Agent or the Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection without further consent of the Pledgor.

			Distributions and Voting Rights.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			The Collateral Agent agrees that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor may, to the extent the Pledgor has such right as a holder of the Pledged Collateral, vote and give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect thereto, except to the extent that any such vote, consent, ratification or waiver could detract from the value thereof as Pledged Collateral or which could be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Pledgor will exercise its rights (voting or otherwise) with respect to the Pledged Collateral to ensure performance by the Pledgor and each of the other Loan Parties of their obligations under the Loan Documents.

			
	
			
				 (b)

				 (b)
			The Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such agreements from third parties, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any other agreement with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

				 (c)
			The Pledgor will not, without providing at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, change its legal name, identity, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, corporate structure, location of its chief executive office or its principal place of business or its organizational identification number. The Pledgor will, prior to any change described in the preceding sentence, take all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

			
	
			
				 8.
			Transfers and Other Liens.  The Pledgor agrees that it will not sell, offer to sell, dispose of, convey, assign or otherwise transfer, grant any option with respect to, restrict, or grant, create, permit or suffer to exist any Lien or other restriction or limitation of any nature whatsoever on, any of the Pledged Collateral or any interest therein except (a) as expressly provided for herein, (b) Liens for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or (c) with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of Majority Lenders).

			
	
			
				 9.
			Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to the Pledgor or any third party for failure to do so or take action). Such appointment, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable, until (subject to reinstatement as provided in the last sentence of Section 17) the security interest granted herein is terminated and released in accordance with Section 18 hereof; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall not exercise its rights as attorney-in-fact prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without first providing the Pledgor written notice of such action and a reasonable opportunity to take such action. The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

			
	
			
				 10.
			Collateral Agent May Perform. If the Pledgor fails to perform any obligation contained in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation (provided that the Collateral Agent shall not perform such obligations prior to the occurrence of an ongoing Event of Default without first providing the Pledgor written notice of such failure and (as determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion) a reasonable opportunity to perform such obligation), and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to perform or discharge any obligation of the Pledgor.

				 11.
			Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Pledged Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Collateral 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 Pledged Collateral. Nothing set forth in this Agreement, nor the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights and remedies hereunder, shall relieve the Pledgor from the performance of any obligation on the Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral.

			
	
			
				 12.
			Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

			
	
			
				 (a)
			The Collateral Agent may, without any other notice to or demand upon the Pledgor, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to the Pledgor at its notice address as provided in Section 16 hereof ten (10) days prior to the date of such disposition shall constitute reasonable notice. So long as the sale of the Pledged Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, the Collateral Agent may sell such Pledged Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) as the Collateral Agent in its absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Pledged Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. The Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Pledged Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Pledged Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Collateral Agent or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any custodian shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation

			to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Pledged Collateral for sale.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			All rights of the Pledgor to (i) exercise the voting and other consensual rights it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a), and (ii) receive the dividends and other distributions which it would otherwise be entitled to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(b) shall immediately cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and receive and hold such dividends and other distributions as Pledged Collateral. 

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent to the payment of expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the Pledged Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds shall be applied or set off against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. Any surplus of such cash or cash Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. The Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if such cash and the cash Proceeds of any sale or other realization of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

			
	
			
				 (d)
			If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section, the Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

			
	
			
				 13.
			No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 15), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

			
	
			
				 14.
			Security Interest Absolute. The Pledgor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Pledged Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All rights of the Collateral Agent and Liens hereunder, and all Secured Obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 

			
	
			
				 (a)
			any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or any related agreement or instrument;

				 (b)
			any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;

			
	
			
				 (c)
			any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Pledged Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

			
	
			
				 (d)
			any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Pledged Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured Obligations;

			
	
			
				 (e)
			any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;

			
	
			
				 (f)
			any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Pledgor against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party; or

			
	
			
				 (g)
			any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Secured Obligations or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Collateral Agent that might vary the risk of the Pledgor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Pledgor or any other grantor, guarantor or surety. 

			
	
			
				 15.
			Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom shall be effective, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor, and then such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.
