     (b) This Agreement shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable grant of security interest, and shall remain in full force and effect as set forth in Section 16 . All rights of the Notes Parties and the security interests granted to the Second Priority Collateral Agent (for its benefit and the benefit of each other Notes Party) hereunder, and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder, shall, in each case, be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of (i) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Notes Document, (ii) the failure of any Notes Party (A) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Grantor or any other Person under the provisions of any Notes Document or otherwise, or (B) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Obligations, (iii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligations, (iv) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations (except until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash) for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Grantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise, (v) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Notes Document, (vi) any addition, exchange or release of any Collateral of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guaranty held by any Notes Party securing any of the Obligations, or (vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Grantor, any surety or any guarantor.

-16-


 

Company or any other Grantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Notes Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Notes Party against the Company or any other Grantor or any Collateral which any Notes Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Company or any Grantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Grantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, then such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Grantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Second Priority Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Notes Parties), and shall forthwith be paid to the Second Priority Collateral Agent to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each Grantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 8(c) is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

     (d) Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, if any Notes Party may, under applicable Requirements of Law, proceed to realize its benefits under this Agreement or the other Notes Documents giving any Notes Party a lien upon any Collateral, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, such Notes Party may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, any Notes Party shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Grantor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable Requirements of Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Grantor hereby consents to such action by such Notes Party and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by such Notes Party shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that such Grantor might otherwise have had but for such action by such Notes Party.

     9.  Collections, etc . Until such time during the existence of an Event of Default as the Second Priority Collateral Agent shall notify such Grantor of the revocation of such power and authority, each Grantor (a) will, at its own expense, endeavor to collect, as and when due, all amounts due under any of the Non-Tangible Collateral, including the taking of such action with respect to such collection as the Second Priority Collateral Agent may reasonably request or, in the absence of such request, as such Grantor may deem advisable; and (b) may grant, in the ordinary course of business, to any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral, any rebate, refund or allowance to which such party may be lawfully entitled, and may accept, in connection therewith, the return of Goods, the sale or lease of which shall have given rise to such Non-Tangible Collateral. The Second Priority Collateral Agent, however, may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, whether before or after any revocation of such power and authority or the maturity of any of the Obligations, notify any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment or otherwise render performance to or for the benefit of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and enforce, by suit or otherwise, the obligations of any such party obligated on any Non-Tangible Collateral. In connection therewith, the Second Priority Collateral Agent may surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon request of the Second Priority Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor will, at its own expense, notify any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Second Priority Collateral Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.
