4.    Maintenance of Security Interest; Further Assurances. 

(a)    Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to file (with, or to the extent permitted by applicable law, without the signature of the Grantor appearing thereon) financing statements (including amendments thereto and initial financing statements in lieu of continuation statements) showing such Grantor as “debtor” at such time or times and in all filing offices as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, or otherwise to give effect to the transactions herein contemplated, any of which financing statements, at the Administrative Agent’s election, may describe the Collateral as or including all assets or personal property (other than Fixtures) of the Grantor.  

(b)    With respect to any and all Collateral, each Grantor agrees to do and cause to be done all things necessary to perfect, maintain the priority of and keep in full force the security interest granted in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including, but not limited to, the prompt payment upon demand therefor by the Administrative Agent of all fees and expenses (including documentary stamp, excise or intangibles taxes) incurred in connection with the preparation, delivery, or filing of any Perfection Document or the taking of any Perfection Action to perfect, protect or enforce a security interest in Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject only to Permitted Liens.  All amounts not so paid when due shall constitute additional Secured Obligations.

(c)    Each Grantor agrees that, in the event any proceeds (other than goods) of Collateral shall be or become commingled with other property not constituting Collateral, then such proceeds may, to the extent permitted by law, be identified by application of the lowest intermediate balance rule to such commingled property.

5.    Preservation and Protection of Collateral.

(a)    The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or liability with respect to the collection, protection or preservation of the Collateral, or otherwise.  Each Grantor shall be responsible for the safekeeping of its Collateral, and in no event shall the Administrative Agent have any responsibility for (i) any loss or damage thereto or destruction thereof occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (ii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iii) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee or forwarding agency thereof or other Person in any way dealing with or handling such Collateral. 

(b)    Upon the failure of any Grantor to pay or contest taxes, charges, or assessments, or cause Liens to be terminated in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent at its option may (following 10 days written notice to the applicable Grantor in the event no Event of Default is then occurring, and in the event an Event of Default is then occurring, at any time) pay or contest any of them or amounts relating thereto (the Administrative Agent having the sole right to determine the legality or validity and the amount necessary to discharge such taxes, charges, Liens or assessments) but shall not have any obligation to make any such payment or contest.  All sums so disbursed by the Administrative Agent, including all fees and expenses of counsel, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral.

6.    Status of Grantors and Collateral Generally.  Each Grantor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to itself and the Collateral as to which it has or acquires any interest, that:

(a)    It hereby makes each representation and warranty made in the Credit Agreement by the Borrowers with respect to such Grantor.  Each Grantor covenants and agrees that until the Facility Termination Date, it will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement to be performed by it or them or that the Borrowers have agreed, in the Credit Agreement, to cause it or them to perform.

(b)    It is at its Applicable Date (or as to Collateral acquired after its Applicable Date will be upon the acquisition of the same) and, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and subsection (e) of this Section 6, will continue to be, the owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, other than the security interest hereunder in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and Permitted Liens, and that it will at its own cost and expense defend such Collateral and any products and proceeds thereof against all claims and demands of all Persons (other than holders of Permitted Liens) in order to perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest. Upon the failure of any Grantor to so defend, the Administrative Agent may do so at its option but shall not have any obligation to do so.  All sums so disbursed by the Administrative Agent, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral.

including the delivery of such Perfection Documents, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to perfect or protect, or maintain the perfection and priority of, the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in Collateral contemplated hereunder.

(d)    No Grantor shall engage in any consignment transaction in respect of any of the Collateral, whether as consignee or consignor; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Motor Vehicle auctions shall not be considered consignment transactions for the purpose of this Section 6(d).

(e)    No Grantor shall cause, suffer or permit any of the tangible personal property Collateral (i) to be evidenced by any document of title (except for shipping documents as necessary or customary to effect the receipt of such Collateral or the delivery of such Collateral to such Grantor or to customers, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and motor vehicle certificates of title) or (ii) to be in the possession, custody or control of any warehouseman or other bailee unless (x) (i) such location and Person are set forth on Schedule 7(f) or (ii) the aggregate value of Collateral at such location is less than $1,000,000 or (y) the Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed Qualifying Control Agreement from such warehouseman or bailee, and the Grantor shall have caused at its expense to be prepared and executed such additional Perfection Documents and to be taken such other Perfection Action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement.

Upon or after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on such Grantor’s premises a custodian selected by the Administrative Agent who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect the Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) interest.

(v)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, at the option of the Administrative Agent, all rights of the Grantors to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers which it is authorized to exercise pursuant to clause (iv) immediately above shall cease and the Administrative Agent may thereupon (but shall not be obligated to), at its request, cause such Collateral to be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee or agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and/or exercise such voting or consensual rights and powers as appertain to ownership of such Collateral, and to that end each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its proxy, with full power of substitution, to vote and exercise all other rights as a shareholder with respect to such Investment Property upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, which proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Facility Termination Date, and each Grantor hereby agrees to provide such further proxies as the Administrative Agent may request; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent in its discretion may from time to time refrain from exercising, and shall not be obligated to exercise, any such voting or consensual rights or such proxy.
    
(vi)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, all rights of the Grantors to receive and retain cash dividends and other distributions upon or in respect to Investment Property pursuant to clause (iii) above shall cease and shall thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and each Grantor shall, or shall cause, all such cash dividends and other distributions with respect to the Investment Property to be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent (together, if the Administrative Agent shall request, with any documents related thereto) to be held, released or disposed of by it hereunder or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to be applied to the Secured Obligations.

(f)    Chattel Paper.   With respect to its Chattel Paper whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that:

(i)    Such Grantor shall at all times retain sole physical possession of the originals of all Chattel Paper (other than electronic Chattel Paper and the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper); provided, however, that (x) upon the request of the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall immediately deliver physical possession of such Chattel Paper to the Administrative Agent or its designee, and (y) in the event that there shall be created more than one original counterpart of any physical document that alone or in conjunction with any other physical or electronic document constitutes Chattel Paper, then such counterparts shall be numbered consecutively starting with “1” and such Grantor shall retain the counterpart numbered “1”.

(ii)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall promptly and conspicuously legend all tangible Chattel Paper as follows:  “A FIRST PRIORITY SECURITY INTEREST IN THIS CHATTEL PAPER HAS BEEN GRANTED TO BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., FOR ITSELF AND AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR CERTAIN SECURED PARTIES PURSUANT TO A SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED AS OF [______________], 2016 AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME.  NO SECURITY INTEREST OR OTHER INTEREST IN FAVOR OF ANY OTHER PERSON MAY BE CREATED BY THE TRANSFER OF PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF THIS CHATTEL PAPER OR OF ANY COUNTERPART HEREOF EXCEPT BY OR WITH THE CONSENT OF THE AFORESAID ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROVIDED IN SUCH SECURITY AGREEMENT.”  Upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall not create or acquire any electronic Chattel Paper (including the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper), unless, prior to such acquisition or creation, it shall have taken such Perfection Action as the Administrative Agent may require to perfect by control the security interest of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such Collateral.

(g)    Instruments.  With respect to its Instruments whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that such Grantor shall (i) maintain at all times, and furnish to the Administrative Agent at its reasonable request, a current list identifying in reasonable detail Instruments of which such Grantor is the payee or holder and having a face amount payable in excess of $1,000,000, and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, deliver to the Administrative Agent the originals of all such Instruments, together with duly executed undated endorsements in blank affixed thereto and such other documentation and information as may be necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to realize upon the Instruments in accordance with their respective terms or transfer the Instruments as may be permitted under the Loan Documents or by applicable law.

(h)    Commercial Tort Claims.  With respect to its Commercial Tort Claims whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that Schedule 8(h) attached hereto contains a true and complete list of all Commercial Tort Claims in which any Grantor has an interest and which have been identified by a Grantor as of its Applicable Date, and as to which the Grantor believes in good faith there exists the possibility of recovery (including by way of settlement) of monetary relief in excess of $2,500,000 (“Grantor Claims”).  Each Grantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time upon its request a certificate of an officer of such Grantor referring to this Section 8(h) and (x) identifying all Grantor Claims that are not then described on Schedule 8(h) attached hereto and stating that each of such additional Grantor Claims shall be deemed added to such Schedule 8(h) and shall constitute a Commercial Tort Claim, a Grantor Claim, and additional Collateral hereunder, and (y) summarizing the status or disposition of any Grantor Claims that have been settled, or have been made the subject of any binding mediation, judicial or arbitral proceeding, or any judicial or arbitral order on the merits, or that have been abandoned.  With respect to each such additional Grantor Claim, such Grantor Claim shall be and become part of the Collateral hereunder from the date such claim is identified to the Administrative Agent as provided above without further action, and (ii) the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized at the expense of the applicable Grantor to execute and file such additional financing statements or amendments to previously filed financing statements, and take such other action as it may deem necessary or advisable, to perfect the Lien on such additional Grantor Claims conferred hereunder, and the Grantor shall, if required by applicable law or otherwise at the request of the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver such Perfection Documents and take such other Perfection Action as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such additional Grantor Claims conferred hereunder. 

9.    Casualty and Liability Insurance Required. 

(a)    Each Grantor will keep the Collateral continuously insured against such risks as are customarily insured against by businesses of like size and type engaged in the same or similar operations including:

(i)    property insurance on the Inventory and the Equipment in amounts as are customarily carried by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, against loss or damage by theft, fire, lightning, hail, wind, flooding and other hazards ordinarily included under standard extended coverage policies, and in any event with respect to flood insurance, meeting Federal and state flood insurance requirements of Governmental Authorities;

(ii)    false pretense insurance;

(iii)    garage liability and comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring with or about such Collateral (such coverage to include provisions waiving subrogation against the Secured Parties), with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as additional insureds thereunder; 

(iv)    workers’ compensation insurance with respect to the operation of its facilities under the workers’ compensation laws of the states in within such Collateral is located; and

(v)    business interruption insurance;

provided that, the amount and scope of the aforementioned coverages shall not be materially reduced and the deductibles shall not be materially increased, unless the Administrative Agent is reasonably satisfied with such reduction or increase, as applicable.

(b)    Each insurance policy obtained in satisfaction of the requirements of Section 9(a):

(i)    may be provided by blanket policies now or hereafter maintained by each or any Grantor or by the Borrower;

(ii)    shall be issued by such insurer (or insurers) in effect on the Closing Date, or such other insurer (or insurers) as shall be financially responsible, of recognized standing and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

(iii)    shall be in such form and have such provisions (including without limitation the loss payable clause, the waiver of subrogation clause, the deductible amount, if any, and the standard mortgagee endorsement clause) as are generally considered standard provisions for the type of insurance involved unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent; and

(iv)    without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all insurance policies where applicable under Section 9(a)(i) carried on the Collateral shall name the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as lender’s loss payee and the Administrative Agent and Lenders as parties insured thereunder in respect of any claim for payment.

(c)    Prior to expiration of any such policy, such Grantor shall furnish the Administrative Agent with evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the policy or certificate has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required by this Security Agreement.

(d)    With respect to each claim in the amount of $500,000, each Grantor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item or payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; provided, however, that the powers pursuant to such appointment shall be exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

(e)    In the event such Grantor shall fail to maintain, or fail to cause to be maintained, the full insurance coverage required hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent may contract for the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same or make any required repairs, renewals and replacements and all sums so disbursed by Administrative Agent, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral.

(f)    The Net Proceeds of the insurance carried pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(a)(ii) and 9(a)(iii) shall be applied by such Grantor toward satisfaction of the claim or liability with respect to which such insurance proceeds may be paid, provided that, if such Grantor has satisfied such claim or liability prior to receiving such proceeds, such proceeds shall be applied to reimburse such Grantor.

(g)    At all times during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive direct and immediate payment of the proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to the provisions of Section 10(a)(i) and such Grantor shall take all action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to accomplish such payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Grantor shall receive any such proceeds, such Grantor shall immediately deliver such proceeds to such Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as additional Collateral, and pending such delivery shall hold such proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and keep the same segregated from its other funds.

(h)    “Net Proceeds” when used with respect to any insurance proceeds shall mean the gross proceeds from such proceeds, award or other amount, less all taxes, fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred in the realization thereof.

(i)    Subject to Section 9(d), each Grantor is hereby authorized and empowered to adjust or compromise any loss under any such insurance other than losses relating to claims made directly against any Secured Party as to which the insurance described in Section 9(a)(ii) or (iii) is applicable.

(j)    The provisions contained in this Security Agreement pertaining to insurance shall be cumulative with any additional provisions imposing additional insurance requirements with respect to the Collateral or any other property on which a Lien is conferred under any Collateral Document.

10.    Rights and Remedies Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the following rights and remedies on behalf of the Secured Parties in addition to any rights and remedies set forth elsewhere in this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all of which may be exercised with or, if allowed by law, without notice to a Grantor:

(a)    All of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or under other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and none of which shall be exclusive, to the extent permitted by law, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(b)    The right to foreclose the Liens and security interests created under this Security Agreement by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process;

(c)    The right to (i) enter upon the premises of a Grantor through self-help and without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor notice or opportunity for a hearing on the validity of the Administrative Agent’s claim and without any obligation to pay rent to such Grantor, or any other place or places where any Collateral is located and kept, and remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of the Administrative Agent or any agent of the Administrative Agent, for such time as the Administrative Agent may desire, in order effectively to collect or liquidate the Collateral, (ii) require such Grantor or any bailee or other agent of such Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and (iii) notify any or all Persons party to a Qualifying Control Agreement or who otherwise have possession of or control over any Collateral of the occurrence of an Event of Default and other appropriate circumstances, and exercise control over and take possession or custody of any or all Collateral in the possession, custody or control of such other Persons;

(d)    The right to (i) exercise all of a Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments, Supporting Obligations and General Intangibles (collectively, “Payment Collateral”), including the right to demand payment thereof and enforce payment, by legal proceedings or otherwise; (ii) settle, adjust, 

compromise, extend or renew all or any Payment Collateral or any legal proceedings pertaining thereto; (iii) discharge and release all or any Payment Collateral; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds referred to in Section 5 above; (v) prepare, file and sign a Grantor’s name on any Proof of Claim in bankruptcy, notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in any action or proceeding adverse to any obligor under any Payment Collateral or otherwise in connection with any Payment Collateral; (vi) endorse the name of a Grantor upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to any Collateral; (vii) use the information recorded on or contained on a Grantor’s internet website or otherwise in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to any Collateral to which a Grantor has access; (viii) open such Grantor’s mail and collect any and all amounts due to such Grantor from any Account Debtors or other obligor in respect of Payment Collateral; (ix) take over such Grantor’s post office boxes or make other arrangements as the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, deems necessary to receive such Grantor’s mail, including notifying the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Grantor’s mail to such address as the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may designate; (x) notify any or all Account Debtors or other obligor on any Payment Collateral that such Payment Collateral has been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that Administrative Agent has a security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that the Administrative Agent may at any time give such notice to an Account Debtor that is a department, agency or authority of the United States government); each Grantor hereby agrees that any such notice, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, may (but need not) be sent on such Grantor’s stationery, in which event such Grantor shall co-sign such notice with the Administrative Agent if requested to do so by the Administrative Agent; and (xi) do all acts and things and execute all documents necessary, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to collect the Payment Collateral; and

(e)    The right to sell all or any Collateral in its then existing condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at such time or times, at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by law, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, with or without representations and warranties, all as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable.  The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use a Grantor’s premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as the Administrative Agent may see fit.  The Administrative Agent may, if it deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of such postponed or adjourned sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against prior parties or to marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person.  The Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties is hereby granted an irrevocable fully paid license or other right (including each Grantor’s rights under any license or any franchise agreement), each of which shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date, to use, without charge, each of the labels, patents, copyrights, names, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature owned or licensed by any Grantor other than Excluded Property, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral.  If any of the Collateral shall require repairs, maintenance, preparation or the like, or is in process or other unfinished state, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to perform such repairs, maintenance, preparation, processing or completion of manufacturing for the purpose of putting the same in such saleable form as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, but the Administrative Agent shall have the right to sell or dispose of the Collateral without such processing and no Grantor shall have any claim against the Administrative Agent for the value that may have been added to such Collateral with such processing.  In addition, each Grantor agrees that in the event notice is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to such Grantor in the manner specified herein ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of any of the Collateral or prior to the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be made shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to such Grantor.  All notice is hereby waived with respect to any of the Collateral which threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market.  The Administrative Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, free from any right of redemption which is hereby expressly waived by such Grantor and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations.  Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of certain of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state law, and may be otherwise delayed or adversely affected in effecting any sale by reason of present or future restrictions thereon imposed by governmental authorities (“Affected Collateral”), and that as a consequence of such prohibitions and restrictions the Administrative Agent may be compelled (i) to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire Affected Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or (ii) to seek regulatory approval of any proposed sale or sales, or (iii) to limit the amount of Affected Collateral sold to any Person or group. Each Grantor agrees and acknowledges that private sales so made may be at prices and upon terms less favorable to such Grantor than if such 

Affected Collateral was sold either at public sales or at private sales not subject to other regulatory restrictions, and that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to delay the sale of any Affected Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Grantor or any other Person to register or otherwise qualify them under or exempt them from any applicable restriction, even if such Grantor or other Person would agree to register or otherwise qualify or exempt such Affected Collateral so as to permit a public sale under the Securities Act or applicable state law.  Each Grantor further agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that the use of private sales made under the foregoing circumstances to dispose of Affected Collateral shall be deemed to be dispositions in a commercially reasonable manner.  Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that a ready market may not exist for Affected Collateral that is not traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system.

The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of all Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement.  Each Grantor shall be liable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand any deficiency which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral. 

11.    Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Grantor’s attorney-in-fact for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Security Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise rights under this power of attorney only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and power 

(a)    to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(b)    to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;

(c)    to endorse such Grantor’s name on any checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to or constituting proceeds of the Collateral which comes into the Administrative Agent’s possession or the Administrative Agent’s control, and deposit the same to the account of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on account and for payment of the Secured Obligations.

(d)    to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to any of the Collateral; and

(e)    to execute, in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral provided for herein, any endorsement, assignments, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect thereto.

12.    Reinstatement.  The granting of a security interest in the Collateral and the other provisions hereof 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 is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment  had not been made. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive repayment of all of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Security Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination upon occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.

13.    Certain Waivers by the Grantors.  Each Grantor waives to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) any right to require any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations to (x) proceed against any Person or entity, including without limitation any Loan Party, (y) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral or other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or (z) pursue any other remedy in its power; (b) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Person or entity, (c) any right of subrogation, and (d) any right to enforce any remedy which any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations now has or may hereafter have against any other Person and any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Each Grantor authorizes each Secured 

Party and each other obligee of the Secured Obligations without notice (except notice required by applicable law) or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder or under the Loan Documents from time to time to: (i) take and hold security, other than the Collateral herein described, for the payment of such Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the Collateral herein described or any part thereof or any such other security; and (ii) apply such Collateral or other security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as such Secured Party or obligee in its discretion may determine.

The Administrative Agent may at any time deliver (without representation, recourse or warranty) the Collateral or any part thereof to a Grantor and the receipt thereof by such Grantor shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and the Administrative Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.

14.    Continued Powers.  Until the Facility Termination Date shall have occurred, the power of sale and other rights, powers and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations or that any part of the liability of any Grantor may have ceased.

15.    Other Rights.  The rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Security Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party under any other Loan Document or by virtue of any statute or rule of law.  Any forbearance or failure or delay by the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy of the Secured Parties shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

16.    Anti-Marshaling Provisions.  The right is hereby given by each Grantor to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to make releases (whether in whole or in part) of all or any part of the Collateral agreeable to the Administrative Agent without notice to, or the consent, approval or agreement of other parties and interests, including junior lienors, which releases shall not impair in any manner the validity of or priority of the Liens and security interests in the remaining Collateral conferred hereunder, nor release any Grantor from personal liability for the Secured Obligations.  Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interest in the Collateral held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Collateral shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Security Agreement.  Each Grantor hereby waives any and all right to require the marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein or in any other Loan Document.

17.    Entire Agreement.  This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written.  The express terms hereof and of the Joinder Agreements control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof or thereof.  Neither this Security Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement.

18.    Third Party Reliance.  Each Grantor hereby consents and agrees that all issuers of or obligors in respect of any Collateral, and all securities intermediaries, warehousemen, bailees, public officials and other Persons having any interest in, possession of, control over or right, privilege, duty or discretion in respect of, any Collateral shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof and of the Joinder Agreements as conclusive evidence of the right of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights hereunder or thereunder with respect to the Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by any Grantor or any other Person to any of such Persons.

19.    Binding Agreement; Assignment.  This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall be permitted to assign this Security Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any interest herein or therein or, except as expressly permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement, in the Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 19, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article 

IX thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof (concerning assignments and participations).  All references herein to the Administrative Agent and to the Secured Parties shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee, and any other obligees from time to time of the Secured Obligations.

20.    Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements. No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit of this Security Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement that obtains the benefit of this Security Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article IX of the Credit Agreement.

21.    Severability.  The provisions of this Security Agreement are independent of and separable from each other.  If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this Security Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

22.    Counterparts.  This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Security Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Grantor against whom enforcement is sought.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 22, the provisions of Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Security Agreement.

23.    Termination.  Subject to the provisions of Section 12, this Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder (excluding those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party on the Facility Termination Date.  Upon such termination of this Security Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request and sole expense of the Grantors, promptly deliver to the Grantors such termination statements and take such further actions as the Grantors may reasonably request to terminate of record, or otherwise to give appropriate notice of the termination of, any Lien conferred hereunder.

24.    Notices.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given (a) with respect to the Company or any other Grantor, at the address for the giving of notice to the Company then in effect under the Credit Agreement, and (b) with respect to the Administrative Agent or a Lender, at the Administrative Agent’s address indicated in Schedule 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

C.    The Existing Borrowers have requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended and restated, on the terms set forth in that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company party thereto from time to time as New Vehicle Borrowers or Used Vehicle Borrowers (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and as an L/C Issuer, and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”).

ARTICLE I.

ESCROW

1.01    Escrow.  Upon the terms hereof, each Grantor hereby delivers to the Administrative Agent, in escrow (the “Escrow”) all of the issued and outstanding certificated shares of capital stock or other Equity Interests now or hereafter owned by such Grantor described on Schedule I attached hereto and incorporated herein, as Schedule I may be amended or supplemented from time to time (collectively, the “Escrowed Shares”).

1.02    Terms of Escrow.  

(a)    The parties hereby appoint the Administrative Agent as escrow agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Administrative Agent hereby accepts such appointment as escrow agent.

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall disburse all or any part of the Escrowed Shares as follows: any time the Administrative Agent receives (i) a written notification executed by a Grantor (or such Grantor’s successor interest to the Escrowed Shares) advising the Administrative Agent of a proposed Disposition (as defined below) of Escrowed Shares or Restricted Disposition Proceeds, (ii) (subject to Section 4.04(a)) all Disposition Proceeds (as herein defined) paid or payable to Grantors in respect of such Escrowed Shares, and (iii) if other than cash, duly executed instruments of assignment and delivery, the Administrative Agent shall immediately release such portion of the Escrowed Shares, subject to clause (f), as is specified in such written notice to the Persons specified in such written notice.

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority, or rights of the Persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property or this Agreement.

(d)    (i)    In its capacity as escrow agent, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any Person, to make any payment or delivery of Disposition Proceeds, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery thereof, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery thereof to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any Person to perform any other act.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no liability to any Person by reason of any failure on the part of any other Person to perform such Person’s obligations under any agreement involving or relating in any way to the Escrowed Shares or the Disposition thereof by the Grantors.
  
(ii)    The Administrative Agent in its role as escrow agent shall not be liable to the Grantors or to any other Person for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment.  The Administrative Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, 

certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Administrative Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but as to the acceptability and reliability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Administrative Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons.

(e)    The Grantors shall pay all income, withholding and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income which are attributable to income from the Escrowed Shares and the Disposition Proceeds for the time all or any part thereof are held in escrow hereunder, and shall file all tax and information returns applicable thereto.  To the extent that the Administrative Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the Escrowed Shares and Disposition Proceeds, the Administrative Agent may but shall not be obligated to pay such taxes.  The Administrative Agent may withhold or offset from any amount payable by the Administrative Agent to the Grantors such amount as the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes; alternately any such amount paid by the Administrative Agent shall become a part of the Obligations.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Grantors from and against any liability for such taxes and for any penalties or interest in respect of taxes on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in subparagraph (k) below.

(f)    The Administrative Agent is acting as an escrow agent only with respect to the Escrowed Shares and related Restricted Disposition Proceeds (as defined in Section 2.01 below).  If any dispute arises as to whether the Administrative Agent is obligated to deliver the Escrowed Shares or as to whom the Escrowed Shares are to be delivered, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any delivery, but in such event the Administrative Agent may hold the Escrowed Shares until receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Disposition Proceeds and (i) instructions in writing, signed by all parties which have, or claim to have, an interest in the Escrowed Shares, directing the disposition of the Escrowed Shares, or (ii) in the absence of such writing, a final judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction or final binding arbitration award providing for the disposition of the Escrowed Shares.

(g)    The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Grantors for all expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in the administration of its duties hereunder, including, but not limited to, all attorneys’, advisors’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and all taxes or other governmental charges.

(h)    The Administrative Agent may resign as escrow agent at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder.  As soon as practicable after its resignation, the Administrative Agent shall turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by it and the Grantors all Escrowed Shares held hereunder upon presentation of a document appointing the successor escrow agent and its acceptance thereof.  If no successor escrow agent is so appointed within the 30-day period following such notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent may deposit the Escrowed Shares with any court in the United States it deems appropriate.

(i)    From time to time on and after the date hereof, including without limitation concurrently with the delivery of a written notice as provided in Section 1.02(b), the Grantors shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do and cause to be done such further acts as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.

(j)    It is agreed that the Grantor shall retain all rights to dividends, all rights to vote and all other rights in respect of ownership of the Escrowed Shares, subject only to the Security Interest in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral (each as defined in Section 2.01 below); provided, that any certificated Restricted Equity Interests received as a dividend or other distribution in respect of Escrowed Shares shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, in escrow, to be held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

(k)    EACH GRANTOR SHALL AND DOES HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT AND AFFILIATES (EACH AN “INDEMNITEE” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMN1TEES”) HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, COSTS, DAMAGES, JUDGMENTS, EXPENSES, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE INCLUDING ATTORNEYS FEES AND EXPENSES INCURRED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (“LIABILITIES”) WHICH ANY INDEMNITEE INCURS OR SUSTAINS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER, THE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY INDEMNITEE IN 

CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE ESCROWED SHARES AND/OR THE DISPOSITION PROCEEDS HELD BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER OR ANY INCOME EARNED THEREFROM INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITIES WHICH ARISE IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM THE NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER SOLE OR CONCURRENT ON THE PART OF ANY INDEMNITEE BUT EXPRESSLY EXCLUDING THEREFROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE.  THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL SURVIVE SATISFACTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

As collateral security for the payment, performance and satisfaction of such Grantor’s respective Secured Obligations, each Grantor grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in (and collaterally assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties ) (collectively, the “Security Interest”) all rights, titles and interests which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire in the following (collectively, the “Disposition Proceeds”): (i) all purchase and sale agreements relating to any of the Restricted Equity Interests and all rights to secure payment thereunder; (ii) the cash proceeds and all securities, general intangibles, contract rights, or any other proceeds whatsoever (other than shares of a Subsidiary which the Grantor is not obligated to pledge) which are received or from time to time receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of the transfer, sale, assignment, conveyance or other disposition of any kind (each, a “Disposition”) of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests and any other property substituted or exchanged therefor (other than Restricted Disposition Proceeds (as hereinafter defined) and other shares of a Subsidiary which the Grantor is not obligated to pledge) including without limitation proceeds from any foreclosure sale or any other forced sale or liquidation or any sale or disposition arising or occurring pursuant to a plan in bankruptcy; and (iii) any and all proceeds or other sums payable and/or distributable with respect to, all or any of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests and the other interests described in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) hereof.  Disposition Proceeds which constitute Restricted Equity Interests shall be referred to herein as “Restricted Disposition Proceeds” and shall not be included within the property subject to the Security Interest.  The Disposition Proceeds subject to the Security Interest are referred to herein as the “Disposition Proceeds Collateral”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the grant of a security interest and collateral assignment under this Section 2.01 shall not include, and the term “Disposition Proceeds Collateral” shall not include, any Excluded Collateral.

“Secured Obligations” means:

(a)     as to the Company, (i) all of its Obligations arising under the Credit Agreement, excluding Obligations arising under or in respect of the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility, (ii) its Guarantor’s Obligations (as defined in the Company Guaranty Agreement), excluding such Guarantor’s Obligations to the extent (but only to the extent) they constitute guarantees of Obligations arising under or in respect of the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility, and (iii) the payment and performance of its other obligations and liabilities (whether now existing or hereafter arising) under any of the other Loan Documents (including this Agreement) to which it is now or hereafter becomes a party and any Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to which any Loan Party is now or hereafter becomes a party, excluding such other obligations and liabilities arising under or in respect of the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility;
 
(b)     as to each Grantor which is a New Vehicle Borrower, (i) all of its Obligations arising under the Credit Agreement, (ii) its Guarantor’s Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiary Guaranty to which it is a party), and (iii) the payment and performance of its other obligations and liabilities (whether now existing or hereafter arising) under any of the other Loan Documents (including this Agreement) to which it is now or hereafter becomes a party and any Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to which any Loan Party is now or hereafter becomes a party; and 

(c)     as to each Grantor which is a Referenced Subsidiary, (i) all of its Obligations arising under the Credit Agreement, excluding Obligations arising under or in respect of the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility, (ii) its Guarantor’s Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiary Guaranty to which it is a party), excluding such Guarantor’s Obligations to the extent (but only to the extent) they constitute guarantees of Obligations arising under or in respect of the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility, and (iii) the payment and performance of its other obligations and liabilities (whether now existing or hereafter arising) under any of the other Loan Documents (including this Agreement) to which it is now or hereafter becomes a party and any Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to which any Loan Party is now or hereafter becomes a party, excluding such other obligations and liabilities arising under or in respect of the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility.

provided, that the Secured Obligations of a Grantor shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Grantor.

“Referenced Subsidiary” means each Grantor other than (x) the Company and (y) any Grantor which is a New Vehicle Borrower.

2.02    Delivery of Disposition Proceeds.  Upon any Disposition of all or a part of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests (including without limitation any foreclosure sale, any other forced sale or any sale or disposition arising or occurring pursuant to a plan in bankruptcy), subject to Section 4.04(a) the Grantors shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the Disposition Proceeds, including (with respect to any certificated Disposition Proceeds) duly executed instruments of transfer, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  The term “certificated” when used with the term “Disposition Proceeds” shall mean any such Disposition Proceeds which are evidenced or represented by a note, certificate, instrument, chattel paper or other written evidence of ownership or entitlement.  All Restricted Disposition Proceeds shall be held by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as escrow agent hereunder, as part of the Escrow. All Disposition Proceeds Collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have possession thereof for purposes of perfecting the Security Interest in any such property.

(a)    It hereby makes each representation and warranty made in the Credit Agreement by the Borrowers with respect to such Grantor.  Each Grantor covenants and agrees that until the Facility Termination Date, it will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement to be performed by it or them or that the Borrowers have agreed, in the Credit Agreement, to cause it or them to perform.

(b)    This Agreement and the grant of the Security Interest pursuant hereto creates a valid security interest in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral securing the payment of the Obligations, subject only to Liens permitted under Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement, and upon taking possession thereof or the filing of financing statements in accordance with the UCC, such security interest in such Disposition Proceeds Collateral will be duly perfected; and all filings necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest and such priority have been duly taken (or will be taken).

(c)    The Grantors are, individually or collectively, as applicable, the legal and beneficial owners of the Escrowed Shares and other Restricted Equity Interests; all of the Escrowed Shares and other Restricted Equity Interests currently outstanding and described on Schedule I are duly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and all documentary, stamp or other taxes or fees owing in connection with the issuance thereof have been paid; to the knowledge of the Grantors, no dispute, right of setoff, counterclaim or defense exists with respect to all or any part of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests; the Escrowed Shares and other Restricted Equity Interests are free and clear of all Liens, mortgages, pledges, charges, security interests or other encumbrances, options, warrants, puts, calls and other rights of third persons, and restrictions, other than (i) Liens permitted under clauses (k), (l) or (q) of Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the applicable Franchise Agreement or Framework Agreement (or the documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and related thereto) and applicable state and federal securities laws; neither this Agreement, the Credit Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents creates or requires the creation or the granting by any Grantor of a Security Interest in the Escrowed Shares and other Restricted Equity Interests.

COVENANTS 

Each Grantor covenants and agrees that:
4.01    Further Assurances.
(a)Each Grantor will from time to time at its expense promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or in any Joinder Agreement, in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, in the priority thereof, or to create or preserve the full benefits of this Agreement and the rights and powers of Administrative Agent herein or in any Joinder Agreement, or to enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder with respect to any of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral.  Upon written request by Administrative Agent, each Grantor will: (i) if the Disposition Proceeds Collateral are certificated, deliver to Administrative Agent such certificated Disposition Proceeds Collateral duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and (ii) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, as may be necessary, or as Administrative Agent may request, in order to perfect and preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby with respect to any and all such Disposition Proceeds Collateral.

(b)    Each Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral without the signature of such Grantor where and to the extent permitted by applicable law.  A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Disposition Proceeds Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(c)    Each Grantor will furnish to Administrative Agent from time to time, upon the written request of Administrative Agent, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, and such other reports in connection with the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(d)    In addition to such other information as shall be specifically provided for herein, each Grantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent such other information with respect to the Disposition Proceeds Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or the protection, preservation, maintenance or enforcement of the Security Interest or the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, including, without limitation, all documents and things in such Grantor’s possession, or subject to its demand for possession, related to the Disposition Proceeds Collateral.

(e)    Each Grantor agrees that if such Grantor shall at any time acquire any certificates representing additional Restricted Equity Interests of any Escrow Subsidiary, such Grantor shall promptly (and without the necessity for any request or demand by the Administrative Agent) deliver the certificates representing such shares or interests to the Administrative Agent, in escrow, in the same manner and with the same effect as described in Article I hereof.  Upon delivery, such shares or evidences of ownership shall thereupon constitute Escrowed Shares for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(f)    No Grantor will make any Disposition of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests (whether certificated or uncertificated) or any part thereof, or create directly or indirectly any security interest or otherwise encumber (other than any restriction imposed by any Franchise Agreement or Framework Agreement to which the Grantor is a party)  any of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests, or permit any of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests to ever be or become subject to any warrant, put, option or other rights of third Persons or any attachment, execution, sequestration or other legal or equitable process, or any security interest or encumbrance of any kind, in each case, unless and until any Disposition Proceeds Collateral are paid and/or delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement, or are received and retained by such Grantor in accordance with Section 4.04(a), and any Restricted Disposition Proceeds are delivered in escrow to the Administrative Agent to be held as Escrowed Shares.

(g)    Each Grantor shall enforce or secure in the name of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the performance of each and every material obligation, term, covenant, condition and agreement and any other obligations, terms, covenants, conditions and agreements reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent relating to any certificated Disposition Proceeds Collateral in such Grantor’s organizational documents or stockholders, voting or similar agreements, or any purchase agreement related thereto, and such Grantor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, occurring out of or in any manner connected therewith and upon request by the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will do so in the name of the Administrative Agent and on behalf of the Secured Parties, but at the expense of the Grantors, and the Grantors shall (jointly and severally) pay all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses, in any action or proceeding in which the Secured Parties may appear.

(h)    The Grantors (jointly and severally) shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and/or the Secured Parties, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties in connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties hereunder, in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

(i)    At no time shall any Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests (i) be held or maintained in the form of a security entitlement or credited to any securities account or (ii) which constitute a “security” (or as to which the related Escrow Subsidiary has elected to have treated as a “security”) under Article 8 of the UCC (or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may govern) be maintained in the form of uncertificated securities.  With respect to Escrowed Shares that are “securities” under the UCC, or as to which the issuer has elected at any time to have such interests treated as “securities” under the UCC, such Escrowed Shares are, and shall at all times be, represented by the share certificates listed on Schedule I hereto.

(j)    Each Grantor and each issuer of any Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests shall mark each register or other ownership or transfer record relating to any of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests with a notation indicating that such securities are subject to this Agreement.

4.02    Preservation of Escrowed Shares.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall have any responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to all or any part of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests or any Disposition Proceeds Collateral or any matter or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, including, without limitation beyond the use of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof while in its possession, any obligation or duty to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect or preserve any rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Grantors shall be responsible generally for the preservation of all rights in the Escrowed Shares, the other Restricted Equity Interests and the Disposition Proceeds Collateral.

4.03    Collection of the Loan.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall ever be liable for any failure to use due diligence in the collection of any and all amounts due and owing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

4.04    Rights of Parties Before the Occurrence of an Event of Default. 

(a)Exercising Rights and Receipt of Cash Proceeds Prior to an Event of Default.  Unless and until an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

(i)With respect to all Disposition Proceeds Collateral, the Grantors shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends or interest paid in respect of or attributable to such Disposition Proceeds Collateral and any and all other Distributions.  As used herein “Distributions” shall mean the declaration or payment of any dividend or other distribution on or with respect to such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, and any other payment made with respect to such Disposition Proceeds Collateral other than in respect of a Disposition thereof.  All such Distributions (other than cash Distributions) shall if received by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be delivered to the Administrative Agent duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to be held subject to the Security Interest and the other provisions of this Agreement.

(ii)With respect to all Disposition Proceeds Collateral, each Grantor shall have the right to vote and give consents with respect to all such Disposition Proceeds Collateral owned by it and to consent to, ratify, or waive notice of any and all meetings and take such other action as it deems appropriate to protect or further 

its interests in respect thereof; provided, that such right shall in no case be exercised for any purpose contrary to, or in violation of, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b)Exercising Rights in Disposition Proceeds Collateral After the  Occurrence of an Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, without the consent of any Grantor, may:

(i)    At any time vote or consent in respect of any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral) and authorize any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral to be voted and such consents to be given, ratify and waive notice of any and all meetings, and take such other action as shall seem desirable to the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to protect or further the interests of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties in respect of any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral as though it were the outright owner thereof, and, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, its sole proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to vote and act with respect to any and all such Disposition Proceeds Collateral standing in the name of such Grantor or with respect to which such Grantor is entitled to vote and act.  The proxy and power of attorney herein granted are coupled with interests, are irrevocable, and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement;

(ii)    In respect of any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral), join in and become a party to any plan of recapitalization, reorganization or readjustment (whether voluntary or involuntary) as shall seem desirable to the Administrative Agent in respect of any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, and deposit any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral under any such plan; make any exchange, substitution, cancellation or surrender of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral required by any such plan and take such action with respect to any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral as may be required by any such plan or for the accomplishment thereof; and no such disposition, exchange, substitution, cancellation or surrender shall be deemed to constitute a release of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral from the Security Interest of this Agreement;

(iii)    Receive for application as provided in Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement all payments of whatever kind made upon or with respect to any Disposition Proceeds Collateral and all Disposition Proceeds Collateral consisting of cash; and

(iv)    Subject to the provisions of Section 4.04(c) hereof, transfer or endorse into its name, or into the name or names of its nominee or nominees, all or any of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral.

(c)    Right of Sale of Disposition Proceeds Collateral After the Occurrence of an Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may sell, without recourse to judicial proceedings, by way of one or more contracts, with the right (except at private sale) to bid for and buy, free from any right of redemption, any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral) upon five (5) days’ notice (which notice is agreed to be reasonable notice for the purposes hereof) to the Grantors of the time and place of sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in the Administrative Agent’s complete discretion at public sale, including a sale at any broker’s board or exchange or private sale.

The Administrative Agent is also hereby authorized, but not obligated, to take such actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as the Administrative Agent may deem required or appropriate in the event of sale or disposition of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral.  Each Grantor understands that the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any portion thereof, than would otherwise be obtainable if the same were registered and sold in the open market.  Each Grantor agrees (A) that in the event the Administrative Agent shall so sell such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any portion thereof, at such private sale or sales, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any member firm of a national securities exchange as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such a private sale thereof (any expense borne by the Administrative Agent in obtaining such advice to be paid by the Grantors as an expense related to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder), and (B) that such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Administrative Agent handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner.  No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to take any steps to permit such Disposition Proceeds Collateral to be sold at a public sale or to delay a sale to permit the Escrow Subsidiaries to register such Disposition Proceeds Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state securities law.  In case of any sale by the Administrative Agent of the Disposition Proceeds 

Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Disposition Proceeds Collateral sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Disposition Proceeds Collateral so sold.  In case of any such failure, such Disposition Proceeds Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold.  In connection with the sale of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, the Administrative Agent is authorized, but not obligated, to limit prospective purchasers to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the Administrative Agent to render such sale exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws, and no sale so made in good faith by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to be “commercially reasonable” because so made.  In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party have any right to sell, foreclose upon, or compel the sale of, any Escrowed Shares.
(d)    Other Rights After an Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at its election, may with respect to all Disposition Proceeds Collateral exercise any and all rights available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York or other applicable jurisdiction, as amended, in addition to any and all other rights afforded hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, at law, in equity or otherwise.

(e)    Application of Proceeds.  Any and all Disposition Proceeds Collateral including cash proceeds and the proceeds from the disposition as hereinabove provided of Disposition Proceeds Collateral received by Lenders or any part thereof shall be applied as provided in Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement.

4.05    Right to File as Financing Statement.  The Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to execute and file this Agreement as a financing statement, but the failure of the Administrative Agent to do so shall not impair the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Security Interest.

4.06    Restricted Disposition Shares; No Control by Administrative Agent or Lenders.  

(a)    Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, a security interest in any Restricted Disposition Proceeds or the Escrowed Shares, but the Administrative Agent shall have, and is hereby granted, a security interest in Disposition Proceeds Collateral (the “Subsequent Proceeds”) of Restricted Disposition Proceeds so long as such Subsequent Proceeds are not themselves Restricted Disposition Proceeds.  Any Restricted Disposition Proceeds delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held in escrow by the Administrative Agent and will be deemed to be Escrowed Shares for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not, constitute, create or have the effect of constituting or creating, directly or indirectly, the actual or practical ownership of any of the Escrow Subsidiaries by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, or control, affirmative or negative, direct or indirect, by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party over the management or any other aspect of the day-to-day operation of the Escrow Subsidiaries, which ownership and control remains exclusively and at all times in each of the Escrow Subsidiaries.
4.07    Agreement to Supplement.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall be amended and supplemented from time to time to specifically include a description of all Escrowed Shares subject hereto subsequent to the date hereof, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to supplement Schedule I from time to time, without any action or joinder of the Grantors to reflect the addition of all such additional Escrowed Shares.  The Administrative Agent shall have a valid first priority security interest in all additional Disposition Proceeds which come into existence after the date hereof, whether or not reflected on a supplement to Schedule I.  Each Grantor hereby agrees to execute, deliver and cause the filing of all stock powers, financing statements and other documents and to take such further action as deemed necessary in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion with respect to each such additional Escrowed Shares and Disposition Proceeds to ensure each Grantor’s compliance hereunder with respect thereto.  To the extent that any Equity Interest in a Subsidiary constitutes General Intangibles, such Equity Interests shall not be listed as Escrowed Shares in any supplement to Schedule 1, and shall not constitute Restricted Equity Interests hereunder.

4.08    Reinstatement.  The granting of a security interest in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral and the other provisions hereof 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 is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment  had not been made.  The provisions of this Section 4.08 shall 

survive repayment of all of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination upon occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.  The “Facility Termination Date” means the date as of which all of the following shall have occurred:  (a) the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, (b) all Obligations have been paid in full (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations and (y) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreement and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be, have been made), and (c) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers shall have been made).

4.09    Certain Waivers by the Grantors.  Each Grantor waives to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) any right to require any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations to (x) proceed against any Person or entity, including without limitation any Loan Party, (y) proceed against or exhaust the Disposition Proceeds Collateral or other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or (z) pursue any other remedy in its power; (b) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Person or entity, (c) any right of subrogation, and (d) any right to enforce any remedy which any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations now has or may hereafter have against any other Person and any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Each Grantor authorizes each Secured Party and each other obligee of the Secured Obligations without notice (except notice required by applicable law) or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder or under the Loan Documents from time to time to: (i) take and hold security, other than the Disposition Proceeds Collateral herein described, for the payment of such Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the Disposition Proceeds Collateral herein described or any part thereof or any such other security; and (ii) apply such Disposition Proceeds Collateral or other security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as such Secured Party or obligee in its discretion may determine.

The Administrative Agent may at any time deliver (without representation, recourse or warranty) the Disposition Proceeds Collateral or any part thereof to a Grantor and the receipt thereof by such Grantor shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Disposition Proceeds Collateral so delivered, and the Administrative Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.
4.10    Continued Powers.  Until the Facility Termination Date shall have occurred, the power of sale and other rights, powers and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations or that any part of the liability of any Grantor may have ceased.

4.11    Other Rights.  The rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party under any other Loan Document or by virtue of any statute or rule of law.  Any forbearance or failure or delay by the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy of the Secured Parties shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

4.12    Anti-Marshaling Provisions.  The right is hereby given by each Grantor to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to make releases (whether in whole or in part) of all or any part of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral agreeable to the Administrative Agent without notice to, or the consent, approval or agreement of other parties and interests, including junior lienors, which releases shall not impair in any manner the validity of or priority of the Liens and security interests in the remaining Disposition Proceeds Collateral conferred hereunder, nor release any Grantor from personal liability for the Secured Obligations.  Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interest in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Agreement.  Each Grantor hereby waives any and all right to require the marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein or in any Loan Document.

4.13    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained.  The express terms hereof and of the Joinder Agreements control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof and thereof.  Neither this 

Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement.

4.14    Reliance.  Each Grantor hereby consents and agrees that all Persons shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof and of the Joinder Agreements as conclusive evidence of the right of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights, privileges, and remedies hereunder and thereunder with respect to the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by any Grantor or any other Person to any Persons.

4.15    Binding Agreement; Assignment.  This Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall be permitted to assign this Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any interest herein or therein or in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein, or otherwise pledge, encumber or grant any option with respect to the Disposition Proceeds, or any part thereof, or any cash or property held by the Administrative Agent as the Disposition Proceeds under this Agreement except as expressly permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 4.15, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article IX thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof (concerning assignments and participations).  All references herein to the Administrative Agent and to the Secured Parties shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee, and any other obligees from time to time of the Secured Obligations.

4.16    Secured Cash Management and Secured Hedge Agreements.  No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Disposition Proceeds Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement who obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article IX of the Credit Agreement.

4.17    Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and separable from each other.  If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

4.18    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Grantor against whom enforcement is sought.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.18, the provisions of Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

4.19    Termination.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4.08, this Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder (excluding those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party on the Facility Termination Date.  Upon such termination of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Grantors, promptly deliver to the Grantors the Escrowed Shares, all other certificated Restricted Equity Interests and the Disposition Proceeds Collateral and take such actions at the request of the Grantors as may be necessary to effect the same.

4.20    Notices.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given (a) with respect to any Grantor hereunder, at the address of the Company indicated in Schedule 10.02 of the Credit Agreement and (b) with respect to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, at the Administrative Agent’s address indicated in Schedule 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.  All 

such addresses may be modified, and all such notices shall be given and shall be effective, as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement for the giving and effectiveness of notices and modifications of addresses thereunder.

4.21    Joinder.  Each Person who shall at any time execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement and who is identified therein as a “Grantor” (as such term is defined in this Agreement) under this Agreement shall thereupon irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally become a party hereto and obligated hereunder to the extent required pursuant to such Joinder Agreement as a Grantor and shall have thereupon pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof granted a security interest in and collaterally assigned and pledged to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all Disposition Proceeds which it has at its applicable date of execution of its respective Joinder Agreement or thereafter acquires any interest or the power to transfer, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Grantors or to the parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to include such Person as a Grantor hereunder.  Each Joinder Agreement shall be accompanied by the Supplemental Schedules referred to therein, appropriately completed with information relating to the Grantor executing such Joinder Agreement and its property. Each of the applicable Schedules attached hereto shall be deemed amended and supplemented without further action by such information reflected on the Supplemental Schedules to each Joinder Agreement.

4.22    Rules of Interpretation.  The rules of interpretation contained in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement and each Joinder Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference.  All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any Credit Extensions referred to herein or secured hereby.

4.23    Governing Law; Waivers.

(d)    NOTHING CONTAINED IN SUBSECTIONS (b) OR (c) HEREOF SHALL PRECLUDE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM BRINGING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY JOINDER AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN THE COURTS OF ANY PLACE WHERE ANY GRANTOR OR ANY OF SUCH GRANTOR’S PROPERTY OR ASSETS MAY BE FOUND OR LOCATED.
