Each Grantor ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Credit Agreement has been terminated and Full Payment of the Obligations has occurred.
SECTION 15. The Agent’s and the Other Secured Parties’ Rights, Duties and Liabilities. (a) As between the Grantors and the Secured Parties, each Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral. None of the Secured Obligations shall be affected by any failure of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to take any steps to perfect the Agent’s Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of the Secured Obligations. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to or consent from any Grantor, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of Grantors for the Secured Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter existing between any of the Secured Parties and any Grantor.
(b) It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall remain liable under each Lease and each of its other contracts, agreements and licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have any obligation or liability under any Lease, contract, agreement or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties of any payment relating to any Lease, contract, agreement or license pursuant hereto. Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Lease, contract, agreement or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Lease, contract, agreement or license, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 

11


 

(c) With respect to Accounts and Leases, in each case not subject to any Qualified Receivables Transactions or Like-Kind Exchange, the Agent may, at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or if any rights of set-off (other than set-offs against an Account arising under the contract giving rise to the same Account) or contra accounts may be asserted with respect to the following), without prior notice to any Grantor, notify Account Debtors, parties to Leases and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that the Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon the request of the Agent, each Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on such Collateral. Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on such Collateral and while any Event of Default exists and is continuing, no Grantor shall give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without the Agent’s prior written consent.
(d) With respect to Accounts and Leases, in each case not subject to any Qualified Receivables Transactions or Like-Kind Exchange, in connection with any audit, inspection or appraisal under, and subject to the terms of, Section 8.4 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent may at any time in the Agent’s own name, or in the name of any Grantor, communicate with Account Debtors, parties to Leases, contracts, agreements or licenses to which such Grantor is a party, and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to the Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of Accounts, Leases, contracts and agreements, payment intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper. Grantors shall deliver to the Agent, at their own expense, the results of each physical verification, if any, which any Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of the Inventory.
SECTION 16. Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. (a) Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Secured Parties that (i) as of the Agreement Date, such Grantor does not have any interest in, or title to, any material issued or applied-for patents, registered or applied-for trademarks or registered or applied-for copyrights except as set forth in Schedule III hereto, and (ii) this Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements referred to in Section 3(f) of this Agreement, the recording of the U.S. Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any similar office in any other country or any political subdivision thereof and subsequent filings for any hereafter acquired, issued or applied-for patents, registered or applied-for trademarks or issued or applied-for copyrights, are effective to create valid, perfected, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) and continuing Liens in favor of the Agent on such material patents, trademarks and copyrights and such perfected Liens are enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of such Grantor.
(b) Each Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly if it knows that any application or registration relating to any material patent, trademark or copyright (now or hereafter existing) owned or licensed by such Grantor will become abandoned or dedicated, or of any material and adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such

 

12


 

determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any similar office in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any material patent, trademark or copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.
(c) If, before Full Payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Lenders’ commitments to lend under the Credit Agreement, any Grantor shall obtain ownership of any additional issued or applied-for patent, registered or applied-for trademark or issued or applied-for copyright (except to the extent any application for a trademark is excluded from the definition of “Collateral” under subclause (c) of Section 2 of this Agreement), with respect to goods sold in such Grantor’s business, the Agent shall have a Lien in, and the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply to, such issued or applied-for patent, registered or applied-for trademark or issued or applied-for copyright, and also to any composite marks or other marks of such Grantor which are confusingly similar to such mark, and such Grantor shall give to the Agent prompt written notice of such ownership within thirty (30) days of the end of each sixth month period or more frequently upon the request of the Agent, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in which such Grantor obtains ownership of such patent, trademark, or copyright. This Section 16(c) shall not apply to trademarks which are owned by others and licensed to any Grantor.
(d) Each Grantor authorizes the Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule III to include any additional issued or applied-for patents, registered or applied-for copyrights or registered or applied-for trademarks (other than any “intent-to-use” United States of America based trademark or service mark application, until such time that a statement of use has been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for such application), and to have this Agreement, as amended, or any other document evidencing the security interest granted therein, recorded in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (or any similar office in any other country or any political subdivision thereof) at the expense of such Grantor. The Agent shall provide notice to the Grantors of any amendment or modification to be effected pursuant to this Section.
(e) Upon written request of the Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all security agreements and other notices of the Agent’s Liens as the Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Agent’s Lien on such patent, trademark or copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.
(f) Each Grantor shall take all actions reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the patents, trademarks and copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings, unless such Grantor shall determine that such patent, trademark or copyright is not material to the conduct of its business.

 

13


 

(g) In the event that any Grantor has knowledge that any of the material patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly after such Grantor learns thereof. Each Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is not material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly take commercially reasonable actions including such actions as the Agent shall reasonably request under the circumstances to protect such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral.
SECTION 17. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor (i) shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral or any part thereof and (ii) shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents and subject to the requirement contained herein to deliver and pledge to the Agent any such dividends or distributions payable in the form of stock.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of each Grantor (i) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 17(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Grantor by the Agent, cease and (ii) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 17(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.
SECTION 18. Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto or to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to save, indemnify and keep the Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from any Grantor, except in the case of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or such other Secured Party. All such obligations of Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and only against Grantors and shall not be enforceable against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties.
SECTION 19. Limitation on Liens on Collateral. No Grantor will create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Permitted Liens, and will defend the right, title and interest of the Agent and the other Secured Parties in and to any of such Grantor’s rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands (other than Permitted Liens) of all Persons whomsoever.

SECTION 20. [Reserved].
SECTION 21. Remedies; Rights Upon Default. (a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations or pursuant to any other applicable law, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Agent’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent or any of the other Secured Parties shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. The Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on premises of any Grantor or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as the Agent deems necessary or advisable.
(b) Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent’s request following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place or places designated by the Agent which are reasonably convenient to the Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use the Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent. The Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with respect to the Collateral while the Collateral is in the possession of the Agent. The Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of the Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization

 

15


 

or sale to the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the applicable Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by the Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Each Grantor shall remain liable, jointly and severally with the other Grantors, for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees or other expenses (to the extent provided for herein or in the Credit Agreement) incurred by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.
(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.
(d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare the Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to the Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of the Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on the Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against the Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on the Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of the Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of the Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of the Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of the Collateral, (l) to dispose of Leases, Inventory and related Collateral in one or more portfolio sales or in individual sale transactions, or (m) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 21(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what

 

16


 

actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 21(d). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 21(d) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 21(d).
SECTION 22. Grant of License to Use Proprietary Rights. Solely for the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 21 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 21 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral), effective solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and exercisable at such time as the Agent shall be otherwise lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Proprietary Rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
SECTION 23. Limitation on the Agent’s and the Other Secured Parties’ Duty in Respect of Collateral. The Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of the Agent or nominee of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
SECTION 24. Miscellaneous. (a) Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(b) Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

 

17


 

(c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of the Agent, the other Secured Parties and Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein; provided that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall govern.
(d) No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Amendments and Additional Grantors.
(i) Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
(ii) None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Agent and Grantors. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.
(e) Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 

18


 

(f) Termination of this Agreement. Subject to Section 24(a) hereof, this Agreement shall terminate upon Full Payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Lenders’ commitments to lend under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Agent shall release its Lien on any Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person that is not an Obligor, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to release (if any) set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, including the continuance of the Agent’s Lien in any proceeds of such Collateral, and provided that such sale, transfer of other disposition is authorized pursuant to this Agreement or is otherwise permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of such Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall, together with the rights, remedies and obligations of the Agent hereunder, inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Secured Parties, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder. Except as expressly permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, no Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Agreement.
(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by the Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS BY ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(j) Waiver of Jury Trial.

The Agent shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be promptly executed and delivered, such documents and agreements, and shall promptly take or cause to be taken such actions, as may be reasonably requested by the Grantors, at the Grantors expense, to effectuate the release of any and all Liens previously granted by the Released Grantors and to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Grantors, at the Grantors expense, to evidence such release as may be reasonably requested by Holdings.
SECTION 26. Amendment and Restatement. On the date hereof, the Existing Security Agreement is hereby amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined under the Existing Credit Agreement) or the “Secured Obligations” (as defined under the Existing Security Agreement) or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) such “Obligations” and “Secured Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated on the date hereof); and (iii) the security interests, Lien and pledge granted under the Existing Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and are hereby fully ratified and affirmed in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Grantors hereby fully and unconditionally ratifies and affirms this Agreement and agrees that all security interests, Liens and pledges granted hereunder and under the Existing Security Agreement shall from and after the date hereof secure all Secured Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
