In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company and its affiliates as follows:

  (ii) The Subscriber has not been furnished with any oral representation or oral information in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities; and

  (iv) The Subscriber is not relying on the Company, or its affiliates with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment; and
     
  (v) The Subscriber realizes that it may not be able to resell readily any of the Securities purchased hereunder because (A) there may only be a limited public market for any Securities and (B) none of the Securities have been registered under the “blue sky” laws; and
     
  (vi) The Subscriber understands that the Company has the absolute right to refuse to consent to the transfer or assignment of the Securities if such transfer or assignment does not comply with applicable state and federal securities laws; and

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby designates Christiana Trust to act on behalf of the Lenders as the Collateral Agent and appoints the Collateral Agent to hold the Collateral on behalf of and for the benefit and security of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Collateral Agent hereby accepts such designation and appointment.   Each Lender authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “Collateral Agent” herein is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall hold or dispose of the Collateral solely in accordance with the instructions of Lenders holding Notes the outstanding principal amount of which is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all the Notes, as set forth opposite each Lenders’ name on Schedule A as amended from time to time (the “ Required Lenders ”), which instructions the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on conclusively. As to any matters not expressly provided for hereby, the enforcement or collection of any Secured Obligation or any matter requiring the Collateral Agent to exercise discretion, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to act, enforce or collect upon any such Secured Obligation or exercise any discretion, but shall only be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Collateral Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. 

 

(b) In acting hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have only such duties as are specified herein and no implied duties shall be read into this Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any act done, or omitted to be done, by it in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(c) The Collateral Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine, and may assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such a writing or instrument and may assume that any Person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instruction in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

 

(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel in the event that a question or dispute arises with regard to the construction of any of the provisions hereof, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

 

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to use its own funds in the performance of any of its obligations or duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, and shall not be required to take any action which, in the Collateral Agent’s sole and absolute judgment, could involve it in expense or liability unless furnished with security and indemnity which it deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be satisfactory.

 

(f) Debtor shall pay to the Collateral Agent compensation for its services hereunder in accordance with the terms of a separate fee agreement between the Debtor and the Collateral Agent. In the event the Collateral Agent renders any extraordinary services in connection its role as Collateral Agent at the request of the parties, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to additional compensation therefor. The terms of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

(g) Grantors hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Collateral Agent, its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “ Indemnified Parties ”), and reimburse and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from any and against all damages, claims, penalties, liabilities, losses, actions, suits, judgments, or proceedings at law or in equity, and any other expenses, fees, costs or charges of any character or nature, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses, which an Indemnified Party may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of acting as or on behalf of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, except to the extent the same shall be caused by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision (such indemnification obligations, the “Indemnification Obligations”). All Indemnification Obligations shall be due on demand. The terms of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent. If and to the extent that the obligations of a Grantor under this clause (g) are unenforceable for any reason, such Grantor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

 

     
     


 

(h) In the event the Collateral Agent receives conflicting instructions hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in refraining from acting until such conflict is resolved to the satisfaction of the Collateral Agent.

 

(i) The Collateral Agent may resign as the Collateral Agent, and, upon its resignation, shall thereupon be discharged from any and all further duties and obligations under this Agreement by giving notice in writing of such resignation to Grantors and Lenders, which notice shall specify a date upon which such resignation shall take effect. Upon the resignation of the Collateral Agent, Grantors and Lenders shall, within thirty (30) business days after receiving the foregoing notice from the Collateral Agent, designate a substitute collateral agent (the “ Substitute Collateral Agent ”), which Substitute Collateral Agent shall, upon its designation (and acceptance of such designation) and notice of such designation to the Collateral Agent, succeed to all of the rights, duties and obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder. In the event Grantors and Lenders shall not have delivered to the Collateral Agent a written designation of Substitute Collateral Agent within the aforementioned thirty (30) day period, together with the consent to such designation by the Substitute Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may (i) appoint a financial institution to act as the Substitute Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Required Lenders and Grantors, in which case, the Collateral Agent’s resignation shall become effective upon the acceptance, in writing, of such Substitute Collateral Agent by the Required Lenders and Grantors and such Substitute Collateral Agent’s acceptance of such appointment and the documentation thereof or (ii) apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a Substitute Collateral Agent, and the costs of obtaining such appointment shall be reimbursable from Grantors and Lenders and from the Collateral. After any resigning Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder.

 

(j) The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, consultants or experts selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at any time or times, in the event that the Collateral Agent or Required Lenders shall deem it necessary or prudent in order to conform to the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at such time or times be located to make any claim or bring any suit with respect to the Collateral or any Loan Document, or the Collateral Agent or Required Lenders shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it is so necessary or prudent, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver an agreement supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements, in each case, reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent, and shall take all other action necessary or proper to constitute one or more persons, who need not meet any requirements of the Collateral Agent contained herein (and the Collateral Agent may appoint one or more of its officers), either as co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents jointly with the Collateral Agent of all or any part of the Collateral, or as separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents of all or any part of the Collateral (each, a “ Supplemental Collateral Agent ”), and to vest in such persons, in such capacity, such title to the Collateral or any part thereof and such rights powers, privileges or duties as may be necessary or desirable, all for such period and under such terms and conditions as are satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and Required Lenders. In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Collateral and all rights powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent, without the appointment of a successor to such Supplemental Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from any Grantor be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Grantors shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent. No Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence (or gross negligence), misconduct or any liability of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Supplemental Collateral Agent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(j) in the absence of such Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(k) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, including without limitation, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

 

     
     

 

(l) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral (whether impaired by operation of law, by reason of any of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder or otherwise, except to the extent such action or omission by Collateral Agent constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent), for the accuracy of any of the Grantors’ representations or warranties, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire into the performance or observance by any Grantor of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 

 

(m) In any circumstance where the Collateral Agent exercises discretion (though it shall have no obligation to do so), approves documentation or distributes proceeds, the Collateral Agent may, at its option, seek to obtain instructions or directions from the Required Lenders with respect to such action. If the Collateral Agent so elects, then it may refrain from taking such action until such directions or instructions are received and shall have no liability to anyone for so refraining.

 

(n) NEITHER CHRISTIANA TRUST NOR THE COLLATERAL AGENT (I) WILL MAKE AN INSPECTION OF THE COLLATERAL OR ANY PART THEREOF, (II) MAKES OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE, CONDITION, VALUE, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE COLLATERAL OR ANY PART THEREOF, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL OR ANY PART THEREOF, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR AS TO TITLE OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR (III) MAKES OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE VALIDITY, LEGALITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT TO WHICH THE COLLATERAL AGENT IS A PARTY, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT, OR AS TO THE CORRECTNESS OF ANY STATEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY THEREOF.

 

(o) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, monies received by the Collateral Agent hereunder need not be segregated in any manner, except to the extent required by law, and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and neither Christiana Trust nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any interest thereon, except as may be expressly agreed to by Christiana Trust or the Collateral Agent in writing.

 

(p) Action upon Instructions. (i) The Required Lenders may by joint written instruction direct the Collateral Agent in the administration of the Collateral and any matter affecting the Collateral.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other related document at the request of the Required Lenders or otherwise if the Collateral Agent shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Collateral Agent or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any other document relating to the Notes or is otherwise contrary to law; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to make any such determination. 

 

(iii) Whenever the Collateral Agent is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or under any other related document, or in the event that the Collateral Agent is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other related document, or believes any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement or any other related document permits any determination or discretion by the Collateral Agent or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Collateral Agent is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Collateral Agent shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to each Lender requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Collateral Agent acts in good faith in accordance with any written instructions received from the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or such shorter period as reasonably may be specified in such notice or as may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders; and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

 

     
     

 

(q) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or elsewhere to the contrary, neither Christiana Trust nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will, even after the appointment of a Supplemental Collateral Agent, (i) require Christiana Trust in its individual capacity to obtain the consent, approval, authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with, or taking of any action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware becoming payable by Christiana Trust in its individual capacity, or (iii) subject Christiana Trust in its individual capacity to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Collateral Agent contemplated hereby.

 

(r) The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any right or power vested in it or duty imposed upon it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or otherwise or in relation to this Agreement, either at the request, order or direction of the Required Lenders or otherwise, unless the Required Lenders shall have offered the Collateral Agent security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Collateral Agent therein or thereby. The right of the Collateral Agent to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Collateral Agent shall not be answerable to any Lender or other Person for other than its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. 

 

(s) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

(t) Christiana Trust, in its individual capacity, and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Grantor and any of their respective subsidiaries as though Christiana Trust were not the Collateral Agent hereunder.

 

(u) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default exists unless the officers of the Collateral Agent immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have been notified in writing by any Grantor or the Required Lenders that it considers that an Event of Default exists and specifying the general nature thereof.

 

(v) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation: acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; act of terrorism, epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer hardware, software or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; or acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

 

(w) Any corporation or other entity into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent may be transferred, shall be the collateral agent under this Agreement without further act.

 

(x) Each Lender, upon its execution of a counterpart to this Agreement, agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions herein and shall promptly provide the Collateral Agent with a copy of such executed counterpart.

 

8. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to principles of conflicts of law.

 

9. Amendments; Etc . No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, Grantors and Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. This agreement represents the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter described herein and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time as necessary to update Lender information and other relevant information, the Debtor shall have the authority to amend Schedule A . The Debtor shall provide the Collateral Agent with any such amendments on a timely basis and the Collateral Agent shall conclusively rely on the most recent version of Schedule A provided to it by the Debtor.

 

     
     

 

10. Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent may assign its rights or delegate its duties or obligations as Collateral Agent hereunder to any other Lender.

 

11. Severability . The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision or part thereof in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction or any other clause or provision in this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

 

12. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one document.

 

13. Authorization .  Without obligating Collateral Agent to make any of such filings, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file financing and/or continuation statements, intellectual property security agreements and amendments to any of the foregoing, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices, in each case, in the United States as the Required Lenders may determine, in their sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect or otherwise protect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Required Lenders may determine, in their sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created” or words of similar effect. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

 

14. Grantors’ Duties . It is expressly agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, that each Grantor shall remain liable to perform all of its obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the Collateral and neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligations or liabilities with respect to any Collateral by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or otherwise, except as set forth herein, nor shall the Collateral Agent nor any Lender be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or with respect to any Collateral.

 

15.   Release; Termination .

 

(a) Upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination provided that (i) the Collateral Agent has received written instructions from the Required Lenders notifying the Collateral Agent that all Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash and directing Collateral Agent to so execute and deliver such documents (which instructions the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on conclusively) and (ii) such documents are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

 

(b) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor (other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, which Liens will be deemed to be released automatically in connection with such sale with no further action required by the Collateral Agent), the Collateral Agent will, upon receipt of written instructions from the Required Lenders and at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby provided that such documents are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

 

16.   Additional Definitions .

(i) “ Code ” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; provided, however, that in the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the perfection or priority of, or remedies with respect to, any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the term “Code” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in effect in such other jurisdiction solely for purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such perfection, priority or remedies.

 

(ii) “ Equity Interests ” in any Person means any and all shares, interests, rights to purchase, warrants, options, participation or other equivalents of or interests in (however designated) equity in such Person, including any preferred stock, any limited or general partnership interest and any limited liability company membership interest.
