The Security Interest constitutes (a) a legal and valid security interest in all of the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, and (b) subject to the filings described in Section 3.3 above, a perfected security interest in all of the Collateral.

4.3Protection of Security. Each Grantor shall, at its own cost and expense, take any and all actions reasonably necessary to defend title to the Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement.

-10-
prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Grantors shall only be required to pay the fees and expenses for (i) one commercial finance examination and one appraisal during each twelve month period following the Effective Date so long as the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) or (iii) below do not apply, (ii) two commercial finance examinations and two appraisals during each twelve month period following the Effective Date if Excess Availability is at any time less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Loan Cap, and (iii) three commercial finance examinations and three appraisals during each twelve month period following the Effective Date if Excess Availability is at any time less than fifteen percent (15%) of the Loan Cap.

Nothing in this Section 4.6 shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
-11-

The Agent shall from time to time, at the request and expense of such Grantor, make such arrangements with such Grantor as are in the Agent’s reasonable judgment necessary and appropriate so that such Grantor may make any drawing to which such Grantor is entitled under such letter of credit, without impairment of the Agent’s perfected security interest in such Grantor’s rights to proceeds of such letter of credit or in the actual proceeds of such drawing.

If any Securities now held or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are Uncertificated Securities (other than treasury stock of such Grantor) and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the Issuer thereof, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent thereof and, at the Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, either (i) cause the Issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Agent as to such Securities, without further consent of such Grantor or the nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Agent to become the registered owner of the Securities. If any Grantor, as registered holder of Investment Property, receives any stock certificate, option or right, or other distribution, whether as an addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, such Investment Property, or otherwise, such Grantor agrees to accept the same in trust for the Agent and the other Credit Parties and to forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Agent may from time to time specify, to be held by the Agent as Collateral.

-14-
Securities, whether Certificated Securities or Uncertificated Securities, or other Investment Property now held or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are held by such Grantor or its nominee through a Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent thereof and, at the Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, either (i) cause such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as the case may be, to agree to comply with Entitlement Orders or other instructions from the Agent to such Securities Intermediary as to such Securities or other Investment Property or, as the case may be, to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Agent to such Commodity Intermediary, in each case without the further consent of such Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of Financial Assets or other Investment Property held through a Securities Intermediary, arrange for the Agent to become the Entitlement Holder with respect to such Investment Property.
(b) The Agent agrees with each Grantor that, pursuant to this Section 4.15, the Agent shall not give any such Entitlement Orders or instructions or directions to any such Issuer, Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Grantor,providedthat no Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect thereto, any such investment or withdrawal rights not otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement would occur. In addition, (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Securities for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or therein; and the Agent shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the rights and powers which it is entitled to exercise pursuant hereto, and (ii) so long as no Cash Dominion Event shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends or other distributions on the Securities.
4.16Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in excess of $2,500,000 in any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” as such term is defined in the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. §7001, et. seq., or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any jurisdiction applicable to such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent thereof and, at the request of the Agent, shall take such action as the Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Agent control under the UCC, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as the case may be, of such transferable record. The Agent agrees with each Grantor that so long
-15-
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account the following, the Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures satisfactory to the Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in Agent’s loss of control under the UCC, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as the case may be, for such Grantor to make such necessary alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record as are permitted under the UCC, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as the case may be.
4.17Tangible Chattel Paper, Notes and Other Instruments. If at any time any amount payable to any Grantor under or in connection with any of the Collateral is evidenced by any Tangible Chattel Paper, promissory note, trade acceptances or other Instrument, such Grantor shall promptly deliver the same to the Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
4.18Bailments, Etc. If any Collateral costing in excess of $5,000,000 is at any time in the possession or control of any one warehouseman for more than a temporary period of time (not to exceed five (5) Business Days), bailee or any Grantor’s agents, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent thereof and, upon the request of the Agent, (i) notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent to hold all such Collateral for the Agent’s account subject to the Agent’s instructions, (ii) obtain from such warehouseman, bailee or agent a Collateral Access Agreement, (iii) deliver any negotiable warehouse receipt, bill of lading or other document of title issued with regard to the Collateral to the Agent appropriately endorsed to the Agent’s order, and/or (iv) arrange for the issuance in the name of the Agent, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, any nonnegotiable document of title covering such Collateral. The Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Agent shall not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such warehouseman, bailee or agent.
4.19Other Perfection, Etc. The Grantors shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as the Agent may reasonably request for the Agent (a) to obtain “control” of any Deposit Accounts or Letter-of-Credit Rights, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, and (b) otherwise to insure the continued perfection of the Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral with the priority described in Section 3.4 and of the preservation of its rights therein. The Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Agent shall not give notice to any depositary under any control, blocked account or similar agreement in respect of a Deposit Account unless a Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing.
4.20Assignment of Claims Act. If at any time any Accounts of any Grantor arise from contracts with the United States of America or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof, such Grantor will promptly notify the Agent thereof and shall execute all assignments

(d) Promptly notify the Agent in the event of a material loss or damage to the Collateral, if such loss or damage is not covered by insurance, of any reclamation or repossession of or any action by a creditor to reclaim or repossess any material asset(s) of any Grantor, of any material adverse change in the Collateral, and of any other occurrence that may have a Material Adverse Effect on the Security Interest of the Agent in the Collateral.
SECTION 5
Collections
5.1Collections.
(a) Each Grantor shall at all times comply with the Cash Receipts provisions of Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement including, without limitation, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, causing the sweep on each Business Day of all Cash Receipts into the Bank of America Concentration Account or a Blocked Account, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.
(b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent, no Grantor shall modify or amend the instructions pursuant to any of the DDA Notifications, the Credit Card Notifications, or the Blocked Account Agreements. So long as no Event of Default has
-17-
occurred and is continuing, each Grantor shall, and the Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to, enforce and collect all amounts owing on the Inventory and Accounts, for the benefit and on behalf of the Agent and the other Credit Parties;provided,however, that such privilege may, at the option of the Agent, be terminated upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
5.2Power of Attorney. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity the Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor’s name or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Agent and the other Credit Parties, (a) at any time, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred, to take actions required to be taken by the Grantors under Section 2.1 of this Agreement, (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, (i) to take actions required to be taken by the Grantors under Section 5.1 of this Agreement, and (ii) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; and (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, (i) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (ii) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoices, schedules of Collateral, freight or express receipts, or bills of lading storage receipts, warehouse receipts or other documents of title relating to any of the Collateral; (iii) to sign the name of any Grantor on any notice to such Grantor’s Account Debtors; (iv) to sign the name of any Grantor on any proof of claim in bankruptcy against Account Debtors, and on notices of lien, claims of mechanic’s liens, or assignments or releases of mechanic’s liens securing the Accounts; (v) to sign change of address forms to change the address to which each Grantor’s mail is to be sent to such address as the Agent shall designate; (vi) to receive and open each Grantor’s mail, remove any Proceeds of Collateral therefrom and turn over the balance of such mail either to the Lead Borrower or to any trustee in bankruptcy or receiver of a Grantor, or other legal representative of a Grantor whom the Agent determines to be the appropriate person to whom to so turn over such mail; (vii) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (viii) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (ix) to take all such action as may be necessary to obtain the payment of any letter of credit and/or banker’s acceptance of which any Grantor is a beneficiary; (x) to repair, manufacture, assemble, complete, package, deliver, alter or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any customer of any Grantor; (xi) to use, license or transfer any or all General Intangibles of any Grantor; and (xii) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though
-18-
the Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Agent or any other Credit Party to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent or any other Credit Party, or to present or file any claim or notice. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
5.3No Obligation to Act. The Agent shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or to exercise any of the powers authorized by Section 5.2, but if the Agent elects to do any such act or to exercise any of such powers, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to any Grantor for any act or omission to act except for any act or omission to act as to which there is a final determination made in a judicial proceeding (in which proceeding the Agent has had an opportunity to be heard) in a court of competent jurisdiction which determination includes a specific finding that the subject act or omission to act had been grossly negligent, willful misconduct or in actual bad faith. The provisions of Section 5.2 shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Agent or any other Credit Party to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Agent or any other Credit Party of any other or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise.
SECTION 6
Remedies
6.1Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other Applicable Law. The rights and remedies of the Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times:
(a) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, General Intangibles (including Payment Intangibles), Letter-of-Credit Rights, Instruments, Chattel Paper, Documents, and Investment Property, the Agent may collect the Collateral with or without the taking of possession of any of the Collateral.
(b) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, the Agent may (i) demand, collect and receive any amounts relating thereto, as the Agent may determine; (ii) commence and prosecute any actions in any court for the purposes of collecting any
-19-
such Accounts and enforcing any other rights in respect thereof; (iii) defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; (iv) without limiting the Agent’s rights set forth in Section 5.2 hereof, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to any Grantor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to such Accounts or securing or relating to such Accounts, on behalf of and in the name of such Grantor; and (v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any such Accounts or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.
(c) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property, the Agent may (i) exercise all rights of any Grantor with respect thereto, including without limitation, the right to exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer of any Investment Property and to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if the Agent was the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of any Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Issuer thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received as provided in Section 5.3 hereof; (ii) transfer such Collateral at any time to itself, or to its nominee, and receive the income thereon and hold the same as Collateral hereunder or apply it to the Obligations; and (iii) demand, sue for, collect or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable. The Grantors recognize that (a) the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled 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 the Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Investment Property were sold at public sales, (c) neither the Agent nor any other Credit Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the Investment Property to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
-20-
(d) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Inventory, Goods, and Equipment, the Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor. The Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein. Each purchaser at any such going out of business sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.
(e) With respect to any Collateral consisting of General Intangibles, the Agent may exercise all of the rights granted to the Agent under the IP Security Agreement.
(f) With or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, the Agent may enter upon, occupy, and use any premises owned or occupied by each Grantor, and may exclude the Grantors from such premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or used by the Agent to the extent the Agent deems such exclusion reasonably necessary to preserve and protect the Collateral. The Agent shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Agent’s taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Grantors. In no event shall the Agent be liable to any Grantor for use or occupancy by the Agent of any premises pursuant to this Section 6.1, nor for any charge (such as wages for the Grantors’ employees and utilities) incurred in connection with the Agent’s exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies (as defined herein) hereunder.
(g) The Agent may require any Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at the Grantor’s sole risk and expense at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to both the Agent and such Grantor.
(h) Each Grantor agrees that the Agent shall have the right, subject to Applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Agent shall deem appropriate. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.
(i) Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Agent shall provide the Grantors such notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), the Agent shall give the Grantors at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the date, time and place of any proposed public sale, and of the
-21-
date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be made. Each Grantor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to that Grantor which are imposed under the UCC or other Applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Agent’s rights and remedies upon default. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall have been given. The Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.
(j) Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale. At any sale or other disposition, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. If any of the Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by the Agent on credit, the Obligations shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof unless and until payment is finally received thereon by the Agent.
(k) At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Agent or any other Credit Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor, the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Agent or such other Credit Party from any Grantor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Agent or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.
(l) For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof. The Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and all Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full.
(m) As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
-22-
(n) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
6.2Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, or any Collateral granted under any other of the Security Documents, in the manner set forth in Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7
Perfection of Security Interest
7.1Perfection by Filing. This Agreement constitutes an authenticated record, and each Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 5.2, to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral, in such filing offices as the Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate, and the Grantors shall pay the Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Each Grantor hereby further agrees that a carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a Financing Statement and may be filed as a Financing Statement in any and all jurisdictions.
7.2Savings Clause. Nothing contained in this Article VII shall be construed to narrow the scope of the Agent’s Security Interest in any of the Collateral or the perfection or priority thereof or to impair or otherwise limit any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder except (and then only to the extent) as mandated by the UCC.
-23-
SECTION 8

8.2Grant of Non-Exclusive License. Without limiting the rights of the Agent under the IP Security Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent a royalty free, non-exclusive, irrevocable license, which license shall be exercisable upon the existence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to use, apply, and affix any trademark, trade name, logo, or the like in which any Grantor now or hereafter has rights, such license being with respect to the Agent’s exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder including, without limitation, in connection with any completion of the manufacture of Inventory or any sale or other disposition of Inventory.

8.4Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors herein and in any other Loan Document and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Agent and the other Credit Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any

This Agreement shall be binding upon each Grantor and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

8.8Waivers; Amendment.
(a) The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Agent hereunder (herein, the “Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No delay or omission by the Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Agent of any Event of Default or of any Default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or other Default hereunder or under any other agreement. No single or partial exercise of any of the Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies. No waiver by the Agent of any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. The Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at
-26-
such time or times and in such order of preference as the Agent may determine. The Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement.
