Item 1.01.	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 9, 2021, Terra Income Fund 6, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, as the administrative agent and collateral agent (“Eagle Point”), and certain funds and accounts managed by Eagle Point, as lenders (in such capacity, collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a delayed draw term loan to the Company of $25,000,000 (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) additional incremental loans in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, which may be approved by a Lender in its sole discretion (“Incremental Loans,” and together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”).

The scheduled maturity date of the Loans is April 9, 2025. The Loans will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate equal to 5.625% per annum; provided that if at any time the Company is rated below investment grade, the interest rate shall increase to 6.625% until the rating is no longer below investment grade. In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company also agreed to pay Eagle Point certain upfront fees on the initial borrowing date as described in the Credit Agreement. The Company will also pay, with respect to any unused portion of the Term Loan, a commitment fee of 0.75% per annum.

The Company may prepay any Loan, in whole or in part, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, upon at least 30 but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Agent. If the Company elects to make such prepayments prior to October 9, 2023, the Company will also be required to pay a make whole premium equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the present value at such date of (1) the principal amount being prepaid of such Loan, plus (2) all remaining required interest payments due on the principal amount being prepaid of such Loan through the maturity date (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date on which the make whole premium becomes owed), computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable U.S. Treasury rate (as set forth in the Credit Agreement) plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount being prepaid of such Loan; provided that the make whole premium may in no event be less than zero.

In connection with its entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), by and among the Company, as grantor, and Eagle Point, as administrative agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, their affiliates and Eagle Point as the secured parties thereunder. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company pledged substantially all of its now owned and hereafter acquired property as security for the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain limitations and restrictions set forth in the Security Agreements.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, reporting requirements, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including REIT status requirements and minimum asset coverage ratio requirements. The Credit Agreement also includes usual and customary events of default and remedies for credit agreements of this nature. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to: (i) the failure by the Company to make any payments when due under the Credit Agreement; (ii) the failure of the Company to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement under the Credit Agreement or any other loan document, subject to applicable cure periods; (iii) an event of default on other material indebtedness of the Company; (iv) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company; and (v) judgments and attachments, with customary limits and grace periods, against the Company or its property. In addition, the Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment, at the option of each Lender, upon a change in control of the Company (as defined by the Credit Agreement).

The above descriptions of the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

Credit Agreement

This CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of April 9, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) among Terra Income Fund 6, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Borrower”), as borrower, certain funds and accounts managed by Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (“Eagle Point”), as lenders (in such capacity, collectively, the “Lenders”) and Eagle Point as the administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

The Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide certain term loans, and the Lenders, acting through the Agent, are willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1. INTERPRETATION

(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 10 and in the Exhibits and Appendices hereto will have the meanings therein specified for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Valuations and Calculations. All valuations or calculations herein or under any other Transaction Document shall be in Dollars. All financial computations required under this Agreement shall be made, and all financial information required under this Agreement shall be prepared, in accordance with Appropriate Accounting Principles.

(c) References to Agreements, Laws and Persons. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) references to documents, agreements and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto permitted hereby; and (ii) references to any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Law and (iii) references to any Person include its successors and permitted assigns.

(d) Other References. Unless otherwise specified, (i) the meanings of defined terms are equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the defined terms, (ii) the words “herein”, “hereto”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in any Transaction Document shall refer to such Transaction Document as a whole and not to any particular provision thereof, (iii) Article, Section, Exhibit and Appendix references are to the Transaction Document in which such reference appears, (iv) the term “including” is by way of example and not limitation, and (v) Section headings are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. References to “knowledge,” “aware,” or “awareness” (or words of similar import) of Borrower means the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of Borrower.

SECTION 2. The LOANS

(a) Loans.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to make to the Borrower, as Borrower may request, on each Borrowing Date, a delayed draw term loan (each such loan, a “Loan”), in an amount up to the unfunded amount of such Lender’s applicable Loan Commitment; provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to make a Loan in excess of such Lender’s Loan Commitment. Each Lender’s Loan Commitment shall automatically be reduced immediately upon and in the principal amount of each Loan made hereunder. If there exists any unfunded Loan Commitments on the Commitment Termination Date, then on such date each Lender shall make, and the Borrower shall accept, a Loan equal to the amount of such Lender’s remaining unfunded Loan Commitment such that after giving effect to the making of such Loans, the aggregate principal amount of Loans made by the Lenders shall be equal to the amount of the Loan Commitments. Each Lender’s Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Commitment Termination Date after giving effect to the funding, if any, of such Lender’s Loan on such date.

(ii) The Borrower unconditionally promises to repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date if the Loan Commitments shall be terminated in whole pursuant to this Agreement) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, all fees (including, without limitation, the Unused Commitment Fees, if any) and other Obligations payable hereunder.

(iii) Any principal amounts repaid in respect of any Loan, in whole or in part, may not be reborrowed.

(b) Borrowings. The Borrower may request that the Lenders make a Loan by delivering to the Agent an executed irrevocable notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least six (6) Business Days prior to the date of the requested Borrowing Date unless such notice period is waived by the Agent in its sole discretion. The aggregate amount of each borrowing of a Loan by Borrower shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 in the case of the initial borrowing and $500,000 in the case of each subsequent borrowing and an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess of such amount (or, if less, the remaining unfunded Loan Commitments). Each Borrowing Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2(b) must specify the requested Borrowing Date and amount of requested borrowing; provided that the Lenders shall not be obligated to fund a Loan more than twice each month unless such restriction is waived by the Agent in its sole discretion. If any such Borrowing Notice is not delivered by the time referred to above, then it shall be deemed to have been given on the next Business Day.

| -2- |

| --- |

(c) OptionalPrepayments of Loans. The Borrower may voluntarily prepay any Loan, in whole or in part, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of any voluntary prepayment made prior to the thirty (30) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Make Whole Premium, by irrevocable written notice to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least thirty (30) days (but not more than sixty (60) days) prior to the proposed date of prepayment. Any such prepayment of a Loan shall be in a principal amount of at least $500,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess of such amount (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Prepayments in whole pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall not, in and of themselves, constitute a termination of this Agreement by the Borrower.

(d) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If, at any time, the Asset Coverage Ratio as stated on the most recent Valuation Statement delivered to Agent in accordance with Section 5(b)(ii) is less than 200%, the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the date such Valuation Statement is required to be delivered, repay the outstanding Loans until the Asset Coverage Ratio after such payments exceeds 200%.

(ii) The Borrower will give written notice to the Agent at least ten (10) days prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, which notice shall (A) state the expected effective date of such Change of Control and (B) contain an offer to repay the Loans and all other Obligations hereunder in full as of the effective date of such Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice of a Change of Control may state that the offer to repay the Loans in accordance with this Section 2(d)(ii) is conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Change of Control, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the effective date of such Change of Control) if such condition is not satisfied. Within five (5) days following the receipt of such notice, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall notify the Borrower in writing whether the Lenders accept the offer of repayment of the Loans as set forth herein and provide the Borrower with the Agent’s calculation of the repayment amount due under this Section 2(d)(ii) in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product of (1) 100%, times (2) the principal amount of the outstanding Loans, plus (y) all accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of the outstanding Loans, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event the Lenders accept the Borrower’s offer to repay the Loans in accordance with this Section 2(d)(ii), the Borrower shall so repay the Loans and all other Obligations in full in accordance with the Agent’s calculations on the effective date of such Change of Control. In the event the Lenders reject the Borrower’s offer to repay the Loans in accordance with Section 2(d)(ii), the Loans and all other Obligations shall remain outstanding and the Transaction Documents shall remain in full force and effect. Each Lender’s determination to accept or reject the Borrower’s offer to repay the Loans as set forth herein shall be made in such Lender’s sole discretion.

| -3- |

| --- |

(e) IncrementalLoan Commitments. Borrower may, by written notice to Agent (each, an “Incremental Loan Request”), request one or more increases in the Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Loan Commitment” and the loans thereunder, each an “Incremental Loan”) at any time; provided that no commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the consent of such Lender in such Lender’s sole discretion and no Lender shall be required to participate in any Incremental Loan. Each Incremental Loan Request shall set forth (x) the amount of the Incremental Loan Commitment being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof) and (y) the date on which such Incremental Loan is requested to become effective (which, unless otherwise agreed by Agent and the Lenders providing such Incremental Loan, shall not be less than six (6) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of any Incremental Loan Request (the “IncrementalEffective Date”)). Upon delivery of the applicable Incremental Loan Request to Agent, such Incremental Loan Commitment shall be offered to all Lenders pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and Loan Commitments held by each Lender (or in such other proportion as may be agreed by the Lenders and the Agent). The Agent shall have up to ten (10) Business Days to deliver a response regarding the amount of the requested Incremental Loan that the Lenders will provide. If the existing Lenders fail to provide the full amount of the requested Incremental Loan, the Borrower may offer any portion of the requested Incremental Loan that is not provided by the existing Lenders to new lenders which may join this Agreement, with all terms and conditions to such Incremental Loans remaining unchanged with the possible exception of any mutually agreed amendments to the interest rate and fees to be applicable to such Incremental Loans.

(i) Conditions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Incremental Loan shall become effective under this Section 2(e) unless, after giving effect to such Incremental Loan:

(A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or result from the incurrence of such Incremental Loan;

(B) after giving effect to the incurrence of any Incremental Loan, the Borrower is in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenant;

(C) all representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier therein) both before and after giving effect to such Incremental Loan (except to the extent any representation or warranty relates to an earlier date in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); and

(D) Agent shall have received a certificate duly executed by an officer of the Borrower, certifying as to the foregoing.

(ii) Required Amendments. The Agent, Lenders and Borrower agree that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Loan Commitment, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence of such Incremental Loan Commitment. From and after each Incremental Effective Date, the Incremental Loans and Incremental Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2(e) shall (A) constitute Loans and Loan Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (B) without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the security interests created by the applicable Transaction Documents. The Borrower shall take any actions reasonably required by the Agent and the Lenders to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable Transaction Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Incremental Loans and Incremental Loan Commitments.

| -4- |

| --- |

(f) Lender’s Obligations Several. All Loans shall be made by the Lenders proportionately to their respective applicable Loan Commitments, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make the Loans hereunder.

(g) Accrual and Payment of Interest and Fees.

(i) Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day at a rate per annum equal to 5.625%; provided that for each day that (A) the Borrower fails to cause to be maintained a Loan Rating as required pursuant to Section 5(o) or (B) the Loan Rating is below Investment Grade, each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 6.625%. All accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans shall be due and payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period and at such other times as may be specified herein.

(ii) On the initial Borrowing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lenders, as compensation for providing the Loan Commitments, a fee in an amount equal to 2.50% of the Loan Commitments (i.e., $625,000), which fee shall take the form of original issue discount and be net funded from the proceeds of the Loans funded on the initial Borrowing Date. Such fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the initial Borrowing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.

(iii) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lenders, as compensation for providing the Loan Commitments, the Unused Commitment Fee, which fee shall accrue at all times from and after the Closing Date until the Commitment Termination Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 3(b) is not met. Any accrued and unpaid Unused Commitment Fee shall be due and payable on each Payment Date.

(iv) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Event of Default, the principal amount of the outstanding Loans and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any past due interest payments on the Loans, any unpaid prepayment premium and any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall (unless waived in writing by the Lenders) bear interest (including, without limitation, interest, as provided in this Agreement, accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any insolvency proceedings, whether or not such interest accrues or is recoverable against the Borrower after the filing of such petition for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code or is an allowed claim in such proceeding) at the Default Rate. Interest payable at the Default Rate in accordance with this Section 2(g)(iv) shall be payable by the Borrower (x) in the case of any Event of Default other than an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8(h), upon written demand from the Agent to the Borrower and (y) in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8(h), automatically and without further notice or action by any party. For the avoidance of doubt, payment or acceptance of the Default Rate is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.

| -5- |

| --- |

(h) Evidence of Indebtedness. Agent shall maintain, as agent for the Lenders, at Agent’s principal office, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the Loans owed to each Lender by the Borrower (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall record in the Register the interest and the outstanding balance of the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of and interest and other amounts with respect to the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the principal outstanding amount of the Loans, or the Borrower’s Obligations in respect thereto. No transfer of the Loans and/or any interests therein shall be effective until such transfer is recorded in the Register. The Borrower hereby designates the entity serving as Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2(h).

(i) Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid.

(j) Payments Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments hereunder (including, but not limited to, payments made pursuant to Sections 2(d) and (g)) shall be in Dollars and the Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified herein to each Lender’s account in accordance with payment instructions provided by such Lender to the Borrower in writing from time to time in accordance with such Lender’s pro rata share of the Loans (which pro rata share shall be provided by the Agent in writing from time to time). All payments received after 4:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lenders to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied, first, to pay interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and other amounts then due to such parties and second, to reduce the outstanding Loans ratably among the parties entitled thereto.

(k) No Set-off or Withholding. All payments by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lenders (including for purposes of this Section 2(k), any assignee, successor, or participant or an economic arrangement that is similar to a participation) hereunder shall be made to the Lenders in full without condition or reduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

| -6- |

| --- |

(l) Taxes

(i) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (vi) below and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(ii) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(iii) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 20 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 20 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph.

| -7- |

| --- |

(v) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment (if any), a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(vi) Status of Lenders.

(A) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2(l)(vi)(B)(1), (2) and (4) below) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(B) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

A. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable)establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (vii), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(viii) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

(m) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) the Unused Commitment Fee payable pursuant to Section 2(g)(iii) shall cease to accrue on the unused Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(ii) the Loan Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9(b)); and

(iii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Defaulting Lender or the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3(b) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all applicable non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

| -11- |

In the event that the Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the provisions of this Section 2(m) shall cease to apply to such Lender.

(n) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(j) [Reserved].

(k) As of the date hereof, Schedules II, III, and IV hereto, respectively, are true, correct and complete lists as of the date hereof of all registered and applied for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights owned by the Grantors.

(l) Except as indicated on Schedules II, III, and IV attached hereto, each Grantor is, and, as to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, such Grantor will be, the sole and exclusive owner of or, as applicable, the licensee of all such Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights.

(m) Set forth on Schedule V, as of the Closing Date and as of the last date such schedule was required to be updated in accordance with Section 5(n) of the Credit Agreement, is a list of all Pledged Equity owned by each Grantor hereto. All Pledged Equity as of the Closing Date is duly authorized and validly issued and to the extent applicable, is fully paid and non-assessable. The security interest in the Pledged Equity does not violate Regulation T, U, or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. All certificated Pledged Equity owned by a Grantor as of the Closing Date has been delivered to the Agent as required by the terms of the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(n) No Pledged Equity consisting of equity interests in a partnership or a limited liability company (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a Security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an investment company security within the meaning of Section 8-103 of the UCC or (iv) is held in a Securities Account not subject to a Control Agreement.

(o) If Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any certificate or Instrument constituting Pledged Equity, such Grantor shall deliver to the Agent such certificate or Instrument (A) on the Closing Date, if applicable, and (B) if acquired or certificated after the Closing Date, promptly upon (but in any event within ten (10) days (or such longer period as the Agent may reasonably agree)) of the receipt thereof. Prior to delivery to the Agent, all such certificates constituting Pledged Equity shall be held in trust by such Grantor for the benefit of the Agent pursuant hereto. All such certificates representing Pledged Equity shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank on undated stock powers, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(p) The Grantors have made and will continue to make all necessary filings and recordations from time to time to protect their interests in the Intellectual Property that is material to the business of the Grantors, including, without limitation, the appropriate recordations of their interests in the Intellectual Property in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and their claims to all Copyrights in the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and as otherwise requested from time to time by the Agent, but in any event, in a manner consistent with commercially reasonable business practices. The Grantors have used and will continue to use required statutory notice to protect their interests in the Intellectual Property that is material to the business of the Grantors. The Grantors will properly maintain and protect all Intellectual Property material to their business and in accordance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to all of the material Intellectual Property.

(q) The Grantors will take commercially reasonable measures, whether by action, suit or proceeding or otherwise, to protect against the material infringement or counterfeiting by others of any of the Intellectual Property material to the Grantors’ business, and for that purpose the Grantors agree to take commercially reasonable measures to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as is necessary to protect against such material infringement or as is necessary to protect such Intellectual Property, except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment and in a manner that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially and adversely affect the value of any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Agent in relation thereto. The Grantors will not permit to lapse or become abandoned, settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to any Intellectual Property material to their business.

(r) If the Grantors file a Patent, Trademark or Copyright application in the U.S. that is material to the business of the Grantors, then the Grantors will provide written notice to the Agent within 30 (thirty) days of such application (or such longer period as the Agent may permit in its reasonable discretion). The Grantors shall file and prosecute diligently all applications for registration of material Intellectual Property now or hereafter pending that would be necessary to the business of the Grantors to which any such applications pertain, and to take commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and maintain all rights in such applications and in all registered Intellectual Property material to their business, except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment and in a manner that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially and adversely affect the value of any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Agent in relation thereto. Any and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such actions shall be borne by the Grantors. The Grantors shall not abandon any right to file a Patent, Trademark or Copyright application in the U.S. or any pending Patent, Trademark or Copyright application in the U.S. or any registered Intellectual Property, in each case material to their business.

(x) The Grantors shall at any time and from time to time execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents and take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as the Agent may reasonably request to insure the continued protection, perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral.

6. Events of Default. As used herein, an “Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

7. Rights and Remedies of Secured Parties. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have the following rights and remedies:

(a) All rights and remedies provided by law, including, without limitation, those provided by the UCC;

(b) All rights and remedies provided in this Agreement; and

(c) All rights and remedies provided in the Credit Agreement, in the other Transaction Documents or in any other agreement, document or instrument pertaining to the Secured Obligations.

8. Royalty Free License. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent has the right to dispose of any of the Collateral which is subject to a Patent, Trademark or Copyright which any of the Grantors own or control through a license or otherwise, and such Grantor grants to the Secured Parties a royalty free license (to the extent such rights are assignable) to use any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, in addition to the grant of any security interest granted to the Secured Parties in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright (if any) to dispose of any such Collateral. Such royalty free license shall extend to any person or persons purchasing such Collateral from the Secured Parties.

9. Right of Agent to Dispose of Collateral, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but subject to the provisions of the UCC or other applicable law (except as waived herein to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), the Agent shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral. The Agent may require the Grantors to make the Collateral available to the Agent at a place to be designated in writing by the Agent or transfer any information related to the Collateral to the Agent by electronic medium. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Agent will give the Grantors at least 10 days’ prior written notice in accordance with Section 21 hereof of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Any such notice shall be deemed to meet any requirement hereunder or under any applicable law (including the UCC) that reasonable notification be given of the time and place of such sale or other disposition. The Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

10. Right of Agent to Use and Operate Collateral, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but subject to the provisions of the UCC or other Applicable Law, the Agent shall have the right and power to (a) take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, and to exclude the Grantors and all persons claiming under the Grantors wholly or partly therefrom, and thereafter to hold, store, and/or use, operate, manage and control the same and (b) grant a license to use, or cause to be granted a license to use, any or all of the Intellectual Property (in the case of Trademarks, along with the goodwill associated therewith, and in the case of Trademark licenses, subject to the quality control provisions of the original licenses) constituting Collateral or any part thereof, in each case free of all rights and claims of the Grantors therein and thereto. Upon any such taking of possession, the Agent may, from time to time, at the expense of the Grantors, make all such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as the Agent may deem proper. In any such case the Agent shall have the right to manage and control the Collateral and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights and powers of the Grantors in respect thereto as the Agent shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the operation of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Agent may see fit; and the Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive all rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income of the same and every part thereof. Such rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to pay the expenses of holding and operating the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Agent may be required or may reasonably elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which the Agent may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement (including legal costs and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees). The remainder of such rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied as provided in Section 12 hereof.

11. Collection of Accounts Receivable, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent and appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact (a) to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral; (b) to apply the payments on and collections and proceeds of such Grantor’s Accounts and accounts receivable in accordance with Section 2(l) of the Credit Agreement; (c) to endorse the name of such Grantor upon items of payment and/or proceeds of Collateral of the Grantors and upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any Account or account receivable of the Grantors or goods pertaining thereto; (d) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds thereof; (e) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any mail of such Grantor is deposited; (f) to open and process all mail addressed to such Grantor and deposited in any lock box or postal box of such Grantor or otherwise; (g) to sell or assign any Accounts or account receivable of such Grantor upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Agent deems advisable; (h) to notify any parties obligated on any of the Accounts and accounts receivable of such Grantor to make payment directly to the Agent of any amounts due or to become due; (i) to demand, sue for and collect payment or enforce payment of the Accounts or accounts receivable of such Grantor in the name of the Agent or such Grantor; (j) to sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Accounts or accounts receivable of such Grantor, any drafts against any party obligated on any such Accounts or accounts receivable and any assignments and verifications of such Accounts or accounts receivable; (k) to exercise all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts of such Grantor and any other Collateral; (l) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Accounts and accounts receivable of such Grantor; (m) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect the Accounts and accounts receivable of such Grantor; (n) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any party obligated on any of the Accounts and accounts receivable of such Grantor; (o) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Accounts or account receivables of such Grantor; and (p) to do all other acts and things reasonably necessary to carry out this Agreement; and such Grantor agrees to reimburse the Agent on demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket payment made or any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Agent in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that, this authorization shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or under the Credit Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under this Section 11 are solely to protect the Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

12. Proceeds of Collateral. Any proceeds of Collateral consisting of collections of or payments on Accounts or accounts receivable of the Grantors or proceeds from the sale, lease or other disposition of or realization on Collateral, in each case, received by the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations by the Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 2(j) of the Credit Agreement, and any surplus shall be returned to the Grantors or to any person or party lawfully entitled thereto (including, if applicable, any subordinated creditors of the Grantors). By way of enlargement and not by way of limitation of the rights of the Agent under applicable law or the Credit Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Agent shall allocate the proceeds of the Collateral to the Secured Obligations (including without limitation, the Loans) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition of or realization on the Collateral hereunder are insufficient to pay all of the Secured Obligations in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations which have not been asserted), the Grantors will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the maximum rate provided in the Credit Agreement, and the cost and expenses of collection of such deficiency, including (to the extent permitted by law), without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements in accordance with Section 9(e) of the Credit Agreement.

13. Custody Account, Other Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may prevent withdrawals or other dispositions of assets, including Investment Property, in the Custody Account and any other account that is subject to a Control Agreement in each case, in accordance with the terms thereof.

14. Investment Property/Instruments/Pledged Equity. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, (i) the Agent shall have the right to receive (with simultaneous written notice upon any Grantor) any and all cash dividends, payments or distributions made in respect of any Investment Property, Instruments, or Pledged Equity or other Proceeds paid in respect of any Investment Property, Instruments, and Pledged Equity, (ii) any or all of any Investment Property or Pledged Equity may, at the option of the Agent, be registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee and (iii) the Agent or its nominee shall have (except to the extent, if any, specifically waived in each instance by the Agent in writing) the right to exercise (with simultaneous written notice upon any Grantor) or refrain from exercising, but under no circumstances is the Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement or otherwise to exercise, (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property, or any such Pledged Equity at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members of the relevant issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property or Pledged Equity as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its reasonable discretion any and all of the Investment Property or Pledged Equity upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate, partnership or limited liability company structure of any issuer or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property or Pledged Equity, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property or Pledged Equity with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; but the Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and the Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In furtherance thereof, each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each issuer with respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property, Instruments, and/or Pledged Equity, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to: (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each issuer shall be fully protected in so complying following receipt of such notice and prior to notice that such Event of Default is no longer continuing, and (ii) pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to any Investment Property, Instruments, or Pledged Equity directly to the Agent following any instruction received by it from the Agent in writing. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Agent’s exercising its corresponding rights pursuant to this Section 14, each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends, payments or other distributions made in respect of any Investment Property, Instrument, and any Pledged Equity to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other corporate, company and partnership rights with respect to any Investment Property and Pledged Equity to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

15. Power of Attorney and Irrevocable Proxy. Each Grantor hereby designates and appoints the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and each of its designees or agents, as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, irrevocably and, with full power of substitution, and grants to the Agent this IRREVOCABLE PROXY, in each case subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, with authority to take, or refuse to take, any or all of the following actions, in each case automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. This power of attorney is an irrevocable power coupled with an interest, and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution or winding up of any relevant Grantor, terminating only upon the payment in full of the Obligations (other than other than contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been asserted in writing). The Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly granted to the Agent in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or Law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. This power of attorney is conferred on the Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

16. Credit Agreement, etc. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the rights of the parties hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including the provisions thereof pertaining to the rights and responsibilities of the Agent. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is in conflict with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall control. Unless the context shall otherwise clearly indicate, the terms “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” as used herein shall be deemed to include the Agent acting on behalf of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

17. Waivers, etc. Each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) presentment, demand, notice, protest and, except as is otherwise provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, all other demands and notices, in connection with this Agreement or the enforcement of the Secured Parties’ rights hereunder or in connection with any Secured Obligations or any Collateral; consents to and waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) notice of the granting of renewals, extensions of time for payment or other indulgences to the other Grantors or to any account debtor in respect of any Account, including without limitation, any account receivable or to any other third party, or substitution, release or surrender of any Collateral, the addition or release of persons primarily or secondarily liable on any Secured Obligation or on any account receivable or other Collateral, the acceptance of partial payments on any Secured Obligation or on any account receivable or other Collateral and/or the settlement or compromise thereof. No delay or omission on the part of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right hereunder. Any waiver of any such right on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right on any future occasion. Each Grantor further waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any right it may have under the laws of the State of New York, under the laws of any state in which any of the Collateral may be located, or under the laws of the United States of America, to notice (other than any requirement of notice provided herein) or to a judicial hearing prior to the exercise of any right or remedy provided by this Agreement to the Agent or the Secured Parties and waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) its rights, if any, to object to, set aside or invalidate any sale duly consummated in accordance with the foregoing provisions hereof on the grounds (if such be the case) that the sale was consummated without a prior judicial hearing or was not commercially reasonable. Each Grantor’s waivers under this section have been made voluntarily, intelligently and knowingly and after such Grantor has been apprised and counseled by its attorneys as to the nature thereof and its possible alternative rights, and shall be construed and enforced to the fullest extent enforceable under applicable law.

18. Termination; Assignment, etc. When all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations which have not been asserted) and have been terminated and the Loan Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loans under the Credit Agreement have terminated or expired, this Agreement and the security interest in the Collateral created hereby shall automatically terminate. In such event, the Agent agrees to promptly execute appropriate releases of liens on the Collateral upon the request of the Grantors and at the Grantors’ expense. No waiver by the Agent or by any other holder of Secured Obligations of any default shall be effective unless in writing nor operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. In the event of a sale or assignment of part or all of the Secured Obligations by any Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, each such Secured Party may assign or transfer its respective rights and interest under this Agreement in whole or in part to the purchaser or purchasers of such Secured Obligations, whereupon such purchaser or purchasers shall become vested with all of the powers and rights of the Secured Party hereunder. In the event of a sale or assignment of Collateral in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall automatically terminate upon the consummation of such sale or assignment.

19. Reinstatement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18, this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by the Agent or any other Secured Party in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or upon the appointment of any intervener or conservator of, or trustee or similar official for Borrower or any substantial part of any of their properties, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

20. Governmental Approval. Prior to or, where permitted, upon the exercise by the Agent of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification or authorization of any governmental authority or instrumentality, each Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, or will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments and other documents and papers that the Agent, any Secured Party or any Grantor may be required to obtain for such governmental consent, approval, qualification or authorization.

21. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals, elections and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (whether or not the other provisions of this Agreement expressly so provide) and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

22. Joinder. Any other Person (including any new Subsidiary of Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5(n) of the Credit Agreement) may become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Secured Parties a joinder hereto substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and upon the execution and delivery of such joinder to the Agent shall become a Grantor hereunder and shall become bound by the terms and provisions hereof with the same force and effect as if originally named a Grantor herein. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder.

23. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, modified, amended, restated, waived, supplemented, discharged, canceled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing or in any other manner other than by a written agreement signed by the Agent and the Grantors.

24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which each Grantor is a party constitute the entire agreement between the Grantors and the Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing signed by the parties hereto. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof.

25. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Secured Parties and be binding upon the Agent and each Grantor and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, no Grantor may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Secured Parties. The term “Secured Parties” shall be deemed to include any other holder of any of the Secured Obligations. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” should be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” In case any provision in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

26. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement, including the validity hereof and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. Each Grantor, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, hereby consents to service of process, and to be sued, in any state or federal court located in the State of New York, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from such courts, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of any of its obligations hereunder or with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and expressly waives any and all objections it may have as to venue in any such courts. Each Grantor further agrees that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any of such courts shall be properly served and shall confer personal jurisdiction if served personally or by certified mail to it in accordance with Section 21 hereof or as otherwise provided under the laws of the State of New York. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right the Agent or any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring an action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. EACH GRANTOR AND EACH SECURED PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST SUCH GRANTOR OR SUCH SECURED PARTY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
