with respect thereto as though such payment had been due but not made at such
time.
11
(d) Waiver by Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as
well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person
against Xerox, the Canadian Borrower, any other Overseas Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person.
(e) Subrogation. A Guarantor that makes a payment with respect to a
Canadian Secured Obligation hereunder, shall be subrogated to the rights of the
payee against the Canadian Borrower with respect to such payment; provided that
no Guarantor shall enforce any payment by way of subrogation, or by reason of
contribution against any other guarantor of such Canadian Secured Obligation
(including without limitation any other Guarantor), until all the Release
Conditions have been satisfied.
(f) Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of
any Canadian Secured Obligation by the Canadian Borrower is stayed by reason of
the insolvency or receivership of the Canadian Borrower or otherwise, all
Canadian CA Secured Obligations otherwise subject to acceleration under the
terms of any Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by the relevant
Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Collateral Agent.
(g) Right of Set-Off. If any Canadian Secured Obligation is not paid
promptly when due, each of the Secured Parties and their respective Affiliates
is authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Secured Party or
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee, irrespective of whether or
not such Secured Party shall have made any demand thereunder and although such
deposits and other obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured
Party under this Section 2(g) are in addition to all other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Secured Party may have.
(h) Payments. Each payment to be made by any Guarantor in respect of
any of the Canadian CA Secured Obligations shall be payable in the currency or
currencies in which such Canadian CA Secured Obligations are denominated at the
office of the Collateral Agent and to the extent permitted by law, shall be made
free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any
present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any governmental authority excluding net
income taxes or branch profit taxes or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net
income taxes imposed on the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Parties as a
result of a present or former connection between the Collateral Agent or any of
the Secured Parties and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing
such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
(other than any connection arising solely from the Collateral Agent or such
Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, as provided herein).
(i) Continuing Guarantee. Each Guarantee is a continuing guarantee,
shall be binding on the relevant Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and
shall be enforceable by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties. If all or
part of any Secured Party's interest in any Canadian Secured Obligation is
assigned or otherwise transferred, the transferor's rights under
12
each Guarantee, to the extent applicable to the obligation so transferred,
shall automatically be transferred with such obligation.
(j) Limitation on Obligations of Guarantor. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, (i) the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee
shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would
not render such Guarantee invalid or unenforceable under Applicable Laws and
(ii) the amount of the liability of each Guarantor for the Canadian CA Secured
Obligations (A) pursuant to Section 2.14(a) of the Credit Agreement or Section
2.14(b) of the Credit Agreement, to the extent Section 2.14(b) relates to Loans
or Letters of Credit, shall be limited to amounts so owing with respect to the
increased costs or reduced rates of return arising from Loans to, or Letters of
Credit issued for the account of, the Canadian Borrower and (B) except as set
out in (A) above, pursuant to Section 2.14(b), shall be limited, at any
particular time, to the amount which is proportionate to the ratio of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans to, and the aggregate of the LC
Exposure and LC Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit
issued for the account of, the Canadian Borrower to the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Loans to, and the aggregate of the LC Exposure and LC
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the
account of, all Borrowers at such time.

enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by (A) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of

13
Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, which are required to be included in the

the Post-Closing Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.
(e) All Pledged Securities owned by such Lien Grantor are owned by it
free and clear of any Lien other than (i) the Security Interests (ii) the
Permitted Encumbrances and (iii) any tax liens and judgment liens, that are CA
Permitted Liens. None of such Pledged Securities is subject to any option to
purchase or similar right of any Person other than Permitted Encumbrances, such
Lien Grantor is not and covenants that it will not, become a party to or
otherwise bound by any agreement (except the Loan Documents to which it is a

future holder of any Pledged Securities with respect thereto.
(f) Except for the Disclosed Matters, such Lien Grantor has good title
to, or valid license or leasehold interests in, all of its Collateral which is
material to its business (other than after-acquired Collateral in which such
Lien Grantor will own or have rights in such Collateral at the time so acquired)

effective to perfect or record a Lien on such Collateral except (i) Liens that
have been released and (ii) Liens the obligations secured by which have been
satisfied, in each case as evidenced pursuant to the requirements of Section
4.01(f) of the Credit Agreement. After the Relevant Date applicable to a Lien
Grantor, no Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor will be in the possession or
under the control of any other Person having a claim thereto or security

item of such Collateral on the Relevant Date applicable to such Lien Grantor
(or, if such Lien Grantor first obtains rights thereto on a later date, on such
later date) and (iii) when so attached, will constitute Collateral for the
Canadian Secured Obligations of such Lien Grantor.
(i) The Canadian Borrower has heretofore delivered the Perfection
Certificate to the Collateral Agent. The information specified therein with

such Lien Grantor on or before the Relevant Date applicable to it.
14
(j) When a PPSA financing statement or financing change statement
describing the Collateral and naming such Lien Grantor as debtor has been filed

assets are located as specified in the Perfection Certificate and the security
interests in Collateral located in or subject to, the laws of the Province of
Quebec have been published in the Register of Personal and Movable Real Rights
("RPMRR"), the Security Interests will constitute perfected security interests
in the Collateral in which such Lien Grantor has rights in favour of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to the extent that a
security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the PPSA or the
Civil Code of Quebec, as the case may be, prior to all Liens and rights of
others therein except Permitted Liens. Except for the filing of such PPSA
financing statements and financing change statements and the publication of the
security interests in Collateral located in the Province of Quebec in the RPMRR,
no registration, publication or filing with any Canadian, provincial or
territorial governmental body, agency or official is required in connection with
the execution or delivery of the Canadian Security Documents or is necessary for
the validity or enforceability thereof or for the perfection or due recordation

under the PPSA) that from time to time is required under the PPSA or the Civil
Code of Quebec to enable the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to
obtain the full benefits of the Canadian Security Documents or to enable the
Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies
under the Canadian Security Documents with respect to any of the Collateral. To
the extent permitted by Applicable Law, such Lien Grantor hereby appoints the
Collateral Agent as such Lien Grantor's attorney-in-fact to execute and file all

Lenders (i) notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent of the relevant Security
Interests, (ii) instruct such warehouseman, bailee or agent to hold all such
Collateral for the Collateral Agent's account subject to the Collateral Agent's
instructions and to permit such Collateral to be removed by such Lien Grantor in
the ordinary course of business until the Collateral Agent notifies such
warehouseman, bailee or agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (iii) use reasonable commercial efforts (without incurring material
obligations or foregoing material rights) to cause such warehouseman, bailee or
agent to enter into an agreement for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the
Secured Parties acknowledging that it holds possession of such Collateral for
the Collateral Agent's benefit and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent.
(d) If an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and be

form which the Collateral Agent may reasonably request) and all other ancillary
and supplementary documents or documentation required for publication with
respect to any of the foregoing.
SECTION 6. Recordable Intellectual Property.
Each Lien Grantor covenants as follows:
(a) Such Lien Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it
knows that any application or registration relating to any material Recordable
Intellectual Property owned or licensed by it may become abandoned or dedicated
to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including the
institution of, or any adverse determination or development in, any proceeding
in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office) regarding such Lien Grantor's
ownership of such material Recordable Intellectual Property, its right to
register or patent the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same, except
where the occurrence of the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. If any of such Lien Grantor's rights to any
material Recordable Intellectual Property are infringed, misappropriated or
diluted, by a third party, such Lien Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent
within 30 days after it learns thereof and will, unless such Lien Grantor shall
reasonably determine that such action would be of negligible value, economic or
otherwise, or the failure to take such action could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) promptly xxx for infringement,
misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such
infringement, misappropriation or dilution, (ii) take such other actions as such
Lien Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to
protect such material Recordable Intellectual Property and (iii) notify the

Collateral Agent shall have notified such Lien Grantor that the Lien Grantor's
right to do so is terminated, suspended or
19
otherwise limited, the grant of Liens on Recordable Intellectual Property
pursuant hereto shall not preclude any Lien Grantor from entering into any
Copyright License, Design License, Patent License or Trademark License or,

Property in a manner that is in the ordinary course of such Lien Grantor's
business and consistent with such Lien Grantor's historical practices, as

Grantor and identified on Schedule 1 of this Agreement as required to
be pledged under Section 5.13(a) of the Credit Agreement and the
Post-Closing Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and (B) in accordance
with Section 5.13(b) of the Credit Agreement within 90 days after the

behalf other than such Lien Grantor or its agent, and, provided that the
Collateral Agent has no notice of any adverse claim affecting the Pledged
Certificated Securities, the Security Interest in the Pledged Certificated

that is an Equity Interest issued by any Material Canadian Subsidiary owned by
such Lien Grantor the Security Interest on such Pledged Uncertificated Security

its behalf other than such Lien Grantor or its agent, if the Collateral Agent
has no notice of any adverse claim affecting the Pledged Uncertificated
Securities.
(e) Delivery of Pledged Certificates. Any certificate representing a
Pledged Certificated Security that is an Equity Interest issued by any Material
Canadian Subsidiary, when delivered to the Collateral Agent, will be in suitable
form for transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly executed instruments of

and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
(f) Communications. If an Actionable Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to
the Lien Grantors that it elects to exercise the remedies provided in Section
12, such Lien Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any
notices and other communications received by it with respect to Pledged
Certificated Securities that are Equity Interests issued by any Material
Canadian Subsidiary registered in the name of such Lien Grantor or its nominee.
(g) Equity Interests subject to Permitted Encumbrances. Such Lien
Grantor will not be obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section at
any time with respect to any Equity Interest issued by any Person if and to the
extent (but only to the extent) that such Equity Interest is excluded from the
Collateral at such time pursuant to Sections 4(b)(i) or 4(b)(vii).
(h) Direct Holding of Pledged Securities. Such Lien Grantor shall hold
directly, and not through any subsidiary, securities intermediary or other
Person, all Pledged Securities owned by it.

to each Lien Grantor, a cash collateral account (its "Collateral Account") in
the name and under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent into which
there shall be deposited from time to time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Actionable Event of Default and upon notice from the
Collateral Agent that it elects to exercise the remedies provided in this
Section 8 the cash proceeds of the Collateral required to be delivered to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to subsection 8(b) hereof or any other provision of
any Canadian Security Document. Any income
22
received by the Collateral Agent with respect to the balance from time to
time standing to the credit of each Collateral Account, including any interest
or capital gains on Liquid Investments, shall remain, or be deposited, in the
Collateral Account. All cash amounts on deposit in each Collateral Account from
time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, together with any Liquid Investments from time to time made pursuant to
subsection 8(d) hereof, shall at all times be within the exclusive possession,
dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, shall constitute part of the
Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Canadian Secured
Obligations until applied thereto as hereinafter provided.
(b) If an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and if so requested by the Required Lenders each Lien Grantor shall
instruct all account debtors and other Persons obligated in respect of all
Accounts then included in the Collateral to make all payments in respect of the
Accounts either (i) directly to the Collateral Agent (by instructing that such
payments be remitted to a post office box which shall be in the name of such
Lien Grantor (with a notation that proceeds held therein are held in trust for
and subject to the Liens of the Secured Parties) and under the control of the
Collateral Agent) or (ii) under other arrangements, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, pursuant to which such Lien Grantor shall
have irrevocably instructed such other bank (and such other bank shall have
agreed) to remit all proceeds of such payments directly to the Collateral Agent
for deposit into the Collateral Account or as the Collateral Agent may otherwise
instruct such bank. All such payments made to the Collateral Agent shall be
deposited in such Lien Grantor's Collateral Account. In addition to the
foregoing, such Lien Grantor agrees that if the proceeds of any Collateral
hereunder (including the payments made in respect of Accounts) are received by
it at a time when the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(b) are in effect,
such Lien Grantor shall as promptly as possible deposit such proceeds into its
Collateral Account. Until so deposited into the Collateral Account, all such
proceeds shall, during the continuation of such Event of Default, be held in
trust by such Lien Grantor for the Secured Parties and shall not be commingled
with any other funds or property of such Lien Grantor.
(c) Upon acceleration of the Loans in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, if so instructed by the Required
Lenders, apply or cause to be applied (subject to collection) any or all of the
balance from time to time standing to the credit of each Collateral Account in
the manner specified in Section 14.
(d) If an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, amounts on deposit in each Collateral Account, to the extent not
applied in the manner specified in Section 14 pursuant to paragraph (c) above,
shall if permitted by the terms of any agreement between the relevant Lien
Grantor and the depository institution where such Collateral Account is held, be
invested and re-invested from time to time in such Liquid Investments as the
relevant Lien Grantor shall determine, which Liquid Investments shall be held in
the name and be under the control of the Collateral Agent, provided that the
Collateral Agent shall, if instructed by the Required Lenders, liquidate any
such Liquid Investments and apply or cause to be applied the proceeds thereof to
the payment of the Canadian Secured Obligations in the manner specified in
Section 14; and provided further that the Collateral Agent shall, if so
instructed by the relevant Lenders in the manner specified in Section 9.02 of
the Credit Agreement, liquidate any such Liquid Investments and release the
proceeds thereof to the relevant Lien Grantor. For this
23
purpose, "Liquid Investments" means Permitted Investments; provided that
each Liquid Investment shall mature within 30 days after it is acquired by the
Collateral Agent.
SECTION 9. Transfer of Record Ownership.
(a) If an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent may (and to the extent that action by it is
required, the relevant Lien Grantor, if directed to do so by the Collateral
Agent, will as promptly as practicable) cause each of the Pledged Securities (or
any portion thereof specified in such direction) to be transferred of record
into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee.
(b) Perfection upon Transfer of Record Ownership. If and when any Pledged
Security (whether certificated or uncertificated) owned by such Lien Grantor is
transferred of record into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee
pursuant to Section 7(b) or 9(a), the Security Interest on such Pledged Security
will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others.
(c) Provisions Inapplicable after Transfer of Record Ownership. If the
provisions of Section 9(a) are implemented, Section 7(b) shall not thereafter
apply to any Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee.
(d) Communications after Transfer of Record Ownership. The Collateral
Agent will promptly give to the relevant Lien Grantor copies of any notices and
other communications received by the Collateral Agent with respect to Pledged
Securities registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee.
SECTION 10. Right to Vote Securities and Receive Dividends.
(a) Unless an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified such Lien Grantor that
it elects to exercise the remedies provided in this Section 10, each Lien
Grantor will have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to any Pledged Security owned by it, and
the Collateral Agent will, upon receiving a written request from such Lien
Grantor, deliver to such Lien Grantor or as specified in such request such
proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect of
any such Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Collateral Agent
or its nominee, in each case as shall be reasonably requested by such Lien
Grantor. Unless an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified such Lien Grantor that
it elects to exercise the remedies provided in this Section 10, the Collateral
Agent will have no right to take any action which the owner of a Pledged
Partnership Interest is entitled to take with respect thereto, except the right
to receive payments and other distributions to the extent provided herein.
(b) If an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified such Lien Grantor that
it elects to exercise the remedies provided in this Section 10, the Collateral
Agent will have the right to the extent permitted by Applicable Law (and, in the
case of Collateral consisting of any Security that is subject to any Permitted
Encumbrances, by the relevant agreement or governing document to the extent of
any Permitted Encumbrances contained in such agreement or governing document) to
vote, to give
24
consents, ratifications and waivers and to take any other action with
respect to the Pledged Securities (if any) with the same force and effect as if
the Collateral Agent were the absolute and sole owner thereof, and each Lien
Grantor will take all such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request
from time to time to give effect to such right.
(c) Unless an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified such Lien Grantor that
it elects to exercise the remedies provided in this Section 10, dividends or
other distributions paid on Pledged Equity Interests owned directly by such Lien
Grantor shall be paid to such Lien Grantor.
SECTION 11. General Authority.
Each Lien Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its true
and lawful attorney, and such power is coupled with an interest with full power
of substitution, in the name of such Lien Grantor, the Collateral Agent, the
Secured Parties or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Secured Parties,
but at the Borrowers' expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable Event of Default or
upon acceleration of the Loans in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the
Collateral:
(a) to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and
all monies due or to become due thereon or by virtue thereof,
(b) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or
proceeding with respect thereto,
(c) upon acceleration of the Loans in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement, to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the
same or the proceeds thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Collateral
Agent were the absolute owner of the Lien Grantor's right, title and interest
therein, and
(d) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any
allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto;
provided that, except in the case of Collateral that is perishable or threatens
to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, the Collateral Agent will give the relevant Lien Grantor at least ten
days' prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or
the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will
be made. Any such notice comply with the provisions of the PPSA and all other
mandatory requirements of Applicable Law; provided that, if the Collateral Agent
fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such
failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of
law under the PPSA.
SECTION 12. Remedies upon Actionable Event of Default or Acceleration.
(a) Upon acceleration of the Loans in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent may exercise (or cause its sub-agents to
exercise) any and all remedies available to it (or to such sub-agents) under the
Canadian Security Documents.
25
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon acceleration of the Loans
in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent may
exercise (or cause its sub-agents to exercise) on behalf of the Secured Parties
all rights of a secured party after default under the PPSA (whether or not in
effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) with respect to any
Collateral and, in addition, the Collateral Agent may, without being required to
give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory
provisions of law, (i) withdraw all cash and Liquid Investments in the
Collateral Accounts and apply such cash and Liquid Investments and other cash,
if any, then held by it as Collateral as specified in Section 14 and (ii) if
there shall be no such cash or Liquid Investments or if such cash and Liquid
Investments shall be insufficient to pay all the Canadian Secured Obligations in
full, take possession of, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit
or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type
customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of
widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale). The relevant
Lien Grantor will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action
as the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary or proper in order that any
such sale may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral
Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser
thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
Collateral so sold to it absolutely and free from any claim or right of
whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of the relevant
Lien Grantor which may be waived, and such Lien Grantor, to the extent permitted
by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal
which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. The
notice (if any) of such sale required by Section 11 shall comply with the
requirements set forth in Section 11. Any such public sale shall be held at such
time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the
Collateral Agent may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the
Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the
Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Agent may,
without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the
same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the
same may be so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the
Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be
retained by the Collateral Agent until the selling price is paid by the
purchaser thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the
case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so
sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold
upon like notice. The Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale
herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to
foreclose the Security Interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction.
(b) For the purpose of enforcing any and all rights and remedies under
the Canadian Security Documents upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Actionable Event of Default or upon acceleration of the Loans in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, as the case may be, the
Collateral Agent may (i) require any Lien Grantor to, and such Lien Grantor
agrees that it will, at its expense and upon the request of the Collateral
Agent, forthwith take reasonable steps to assemble all or any part of the
Collateral as directed by the Collateral
26
Agent and make it available at a place designated by the Collateral Agent which
is, in its opinion, reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and such Lien
Grantor, whether at the premises of such Lien Grantor or otherwise, (ii) to the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, enter, with or without process of law and
without breach of the peace, any premise where any of the Collateral is or may
be located, and without charge or liability to it seize and remove such
Collateral from such premises, (iii) have access to and use such Lien Grantor's
books and records relating to the Collateral upon reasonable notice and at
reasonable times and (iv) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store or
transfer it without charge in or by means of any storage or transportation
facility owned or leased by such Lien Grantor, process, repair or recondition it
or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent the
Collateral Agent reasonably deems appropriate and, in connection with such
preparation and disposition, use without charge any Intellectual Property or
technical process used by such Lien Grantor in connection therewith and included
in the Collateral, subject, with respect to products being sold under
Trademarks, to standards of quality with respect to such Products that are
reasonably comparable to those prevailing at the time of such Actionable Event
of Default. The Collateral Agent may also render any or all of the Collateral
unusable at such Lien Grantor's premises and may dispose of such Collateral on
such premises without liability for rent or costs.
(c) If an Actionable Event of Default exists, the Collateral Agent may
appoint or reappoint by instrument in writing, any person or persons, whether an
officer or officers or an employee or employees of the Collateral Agent or not,
to be a receiver or receivers (hereinafter called a "Receiver", which term when
used herein shall include a receiver and manager) of the Collateral (including
any interest, income or profits therefrom) and may remove any Receiver so
appointed and appoint another in his/her or its stead. Any such Receiver shall,
so far as concerns responsibility for his/her or its acts, be deemed the agent
of the Lien Grantors and not the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, and
neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall be in any way
responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any
such Receiver, his/her or its servants, agents or employees. Subject to the
provisions of the instrument appointing him/her or it, any such Receiver shall
(i) have such powers as have been granted to the Collateral Agent under
subsection (a) and (b) above, and (ii) shall be entitled to exercise such powers
at any time that such powers would otherwise be exercisable by the Collateral
Agent under subsection (a) and (b) above, as applicable, which powers shall
include the power to preserve Collateral or its value, and to carry on or concur
in carrying on all or any part of the business of such Lien Grantor. To
facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all
others, including such Lien Grantor, enter upon, use and occupy all premises
owned or occupied by such Lien Grantor wherein Collateral may be situate,
maintain Collateral upon such premises, and borrow money on a secured or
unsecured basis and use Collateral directly in carrying on such Lien Grantor's
business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on
such Lien Grantor's business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its
discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by the Collateral
Agent, all money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out
his/her or its appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to the
Collateral Agent. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of the Collateral
Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of the Collateral
Agent.
(d) The remedies specified in this Section 12 do not affect, and are in
addition to, remedies otherwise specified for or available to the Collateral
Agent or the Secured Parties under
27
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to,
remedies available upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, or Actionable Event of Default, as the case may be.
(e) The Collateral Agent hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, the exercise of rights and remedies by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12 (or otherwise) with respect to any
Collateral may be subject to the effect of any Permitted Encumbrances.
SECTION 13. Limitation on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of
Collateral.
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 the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto. 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
damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by
reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency,
consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good
faith.
SECTION 14. Application of Proceeds.
(a) Upon (A) acceleration of the Loans in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement and (B) the exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent under
Section 12 hereof, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all
or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent as
follows:
first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other realization,
including reasonable compensation to agents contemplated by Section 16
and counsel for the Collateral Agent, and all expenses, liabilities
and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection
with the Canadian Security Documents, and then ratably (based on the
proportion of the Loans to the Canadian Borrower to all Loans) to pay
any other unreimbursed expenses for which the Collateral Agent is to
be reimbursed pursuant to Section 18 hereof;
second, to pay the unpaid principal of Revolving Loans to the
Canadian Borrower (or provide for the payment thereof pursuant to
Section 14(b)), until payment in full of the principal of such Loans
shall have been made (or so provided for);
third, to pay all interest on the Loans to the Canadian Borrower
and fees (to the extent payable by the Canadian Borrower or by Xerox
on behalf of the Canadian Borrower) payable under the Credit Agreement
to Revolving Lenders until payment in full of all such interest and
fees shall have been made;
fourth, to pay all other Canadian Secured Obligations ratably (or
provide for the payment thereof pursuant to Section 14(b)), until
payment in full of all
28
such other Canadian Secured Obligations shall have been made (or so
provided for); and
finally, to pay to the relevant Lien Grantor, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from the
proceeds of the Collateral owned by it.
The Collateral Agent may make distributions hereunder in cash or in
kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.
(b) If at any time any portion of any monies collected or received by the
Collateral Agent would, but for the provisions of this Section 14(b), be payable
in respect of a Canadian Contingent CA Secured Obligation or any other Canadian
Secured Obligation that is not then due and payable (by reason of acceleration
or otherwise), the Collateral Agent shall not apply any monies to pay such
Canadian Secured Obligation but instead shall request the holder thereof, at
least 10 days before each proposed distribution hereunder, to notify the
Collateral Agent as to the maximum amount of such Canadian Secured Obligation if
then ascertainable (e.g., in the case of a Letter of Credit, the maximum amount
available for subsequent drawings thereunder, regardless of whether the
conditions to drawing thereunder are then satisfied). If the holder of such
Canadian Secured Obligation does not notify the Collateral Agent of the maximum
ascertainable amount thereof at least two Business Days before such
distribution, such holder will not be entitled to share in such distribution. If
such holder does so notify the Collateral Agent as to the maximum ascertainable
amount thereof, the Collateral Agent will allocate to such holder a portion of
the monies to be distributed in such distribution, calculated as if such
Canadian Secured Obligation were outstanding and then due and payable in such
maximum ascertainable amount. However, the Collateral Agent will not apply such
portion of such monies to pay such Canadian Secured Obligation, but instead will
hold such monies or invest such monies in Liquid Investments. All such monies
and Liquid Investments and all proceeds thereof will constitute Collateral
hereunder, but will be subject to distribution in accordance with this Section
14(b) rather than Section 14(a). The Collateral Agent will hold all such monies
and Liquid Investments and the net proceeds thereof in trust until all or part
of such Canadian Secured Obligation becomes due and payable (or, in the case of
a Canadian Contingent CA Secured Obligation, becomes a Canadian Non-Contingent
CA Secured Obligation), whereupon the Collateral Agent at the request of the
relevant Secured Party will apply the amount so held in trust to pay such
Canadian Secured Obligation; provided that, if the other Canadian Secured
Obligations theretofore paid pursuant to the same clause of Section 14(a) were
not paid in full, the Collateral Agent will apply the amount so held in trust to
pay the same percentage of such Canadian Secured Obligation as the percentage of
such other Canadian Secured Obligations theretofore paid pursuant to the same
clause of Section 14(a). If (i) the holder of such Canadian Secured Obligation
shall advise the Collateral Agent that no portion thereof (A) has not become due
and payable or (B) remains in the category of a Canadian Contingent CA Secured
Obligation, as the case may be, and (ii) the Collateral Agent still holds any
amount held in trust pursuant to this Section 14(b) in respect of such Canadian
Secured Obligation (after paying all amounts payable pursuant to the preceding
sentence with respect to any portions thereof that have become due and payable
or become Canadian Non-Contingent CA Secured Obligations, as the case may be),
such remaining amount will be applied by the Collateral Agent in the order of
priorities set forth in Section 14(a).
29
(c) In making the payments and allocations required by this Section, the
Collateral Agent may rely upon information supplied to it pursuant to Section
15(c). All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section
shall be final (except in the event of manifest error) and the Collateral Agent
shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Secured Party of any
amount distributed to it.
SECTION 15. Concerning the Collateral Agent.
The provisions of Article VIII of the Credit Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of the Collateral Agent in respect of this Agreement (as if the
Collateral Agent were the Administrative Agent referred to therein) and shall be
binding upon the parties to this Agreement. In furtherance and not in derogation
of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Collateral Agent therein
specified:
(a) The Collateral Agent is authorized to take all such action as is
provided to be taken by it as Collateral Agent hereunder and all other action
reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for
herein (including, without limitation, the timing and methods of realization
upon the Collateral) the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting in
accordance with written instructions from the Required Lenders or, in the
absence of such instructions, in accordance with its discretion.
(b) 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 Security Interests in any of the Collateral,
whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to
act on its part under the Canadian Security Documents. The Collateral Agent
shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance
of any of the terms of any Canadian Security Document by any Lien Grantor.
(c) For all purposes of the Canadian Security Documents, including
determining the amounts of the Canadian Secured Obligations and whether a
Canadian Secured Obligation is a Canadian Contingent CA Secured Obligation or
not, the Collateral Agent will be entitled to rely on information from (i) its
own records for information as to the Lender and Agents, their Canadian Secured
Obligations and actions taken by them, (ii) any Secured Party for information as
to its Canadian Secured Obligations and actions taken by it, to the extent that
the Collateral Agent has not obtained such information from the foregoing
sources, and (iii) Xerox, to the extent that the Collateral Agent has not
obtained information from the foregoing sources.
SECTION 16. Appointment of Co-Collateral Agents.
At any time or times, upon prior written notice to Xerox and in order (a)
to comply with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction, (b) preserve or
protect the Collateral, (c) exercise remedies specified in this Agreement or (d)
otherwise carry out duties or exercise rights specified in this Agreement, the
Collateral Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one or more other
Persons, either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly with the Collateral
Agent, or to act as separate agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties
with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effective operation of
the provisions hereof and may be specified in the instrument of appointment
(which may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, include
30
provisions for the protection of such co-agent or separate agent similar to the
provisions of Section 15).
SECTION 17. Taxes
Each Guarantor agrees that:
(a) All payments of Canadian Secured Obligations and all amounts payable
on, under or in respect of this Agreement by such Guarantor, including, without
limitation, amounts payable by such Guarantor under clause (b) of this Section
17, shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for all present and
future Taxes (other than income or franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by)
the net income of a Secured Party by a Secured Party Jurisdiction of that
Secured Party) including any such Taxes imposed with respect to this Agreement,
the execution, registration, enforcement, notarization or other formalization of
any thereof, and any payments of principal, interest, charges, fees, commissions
or other amounts made on, under or in respect thereof (hereinafter called
"Covered Taxes"), provided that, if any Guarantor shall be required to deduct
any Covered Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable will be increased
as necessary so that, after all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) are made, each
relevant Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Guarantor shall make such
deductions and (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. The parties
agree to cooperate and provide information with respect to Canadian and foreign
withholding tax matters relating to payments under this Agreement in a manner
consistent with the principles of Section 2.16(e) of the Credit Agreement,
mutatis mutandis. The parties also agree that the provisions of Section 2.16(f)
of the Credit Agreement apply, mutatis mutandis, to Covered Taxes that are
deducted, withheld or paid by a Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Each Guarantor shall indemnify each Secured Party, within 15 Business
Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Covered Taxes
paid or incurred by such Secured Party with respect to any payment by or
obligation of such Guarantor under or with respect to this Agreement or any
other Canadian Security Document (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 17) and any expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. Each Secured Party shall make a good faith effort to verify that such
Covered Taxes are correctly and legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. An officer's certificate as to the amount of any such
payment delivered to Xerox by a Secured Party on its own behalf, or by the
Collateral Agent on behalf of a Secured Party, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(c) Within 15 Business Days after any Guarantor pays any Covered Taxes to a
Governmental Authority, such Guarantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment. Each Guarantor shall promptly furnish to each Secured
Party any other information, documents and receipts that the Secured Party may
from time to time reasonably request to establish to its satisfaction that full
and timely payment of all Covered Taxes has been made. The applicable
31
Guarantor will be deemed to have satisfied the requirement of this Section 17(c)
if it has furnished such information, documents and/or receipts to the
Collateral Agent.
(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the payment increases
and indemnities pursuant to those paragraphs will not apply to the payment of
any Canadian Secured Obligation to the extent that (in the absence of this
paragraph (d)) the Secured Party would thereby receive a net cash payment in
respect of that Canadian Secured Obligation greater than if that Canadian
Secured Obligation had been paid by the Borrower.
SECTION 18. Expenses.
The Canadian Borrower agrees that it will forthwith upon demand pay to the
Collateral Agent:
(i) the amount of any Taxes which the Collateral Agent may have been
required to pay by reason of the Security Interests or to free any of the
Collateral from any other Lien thereon; and
(ii) the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and of any
other experts, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (w)
the administration or enforcement of the Canadian Security Documents,
including such expenses as are incurred to preserve the value of the
Collateral and the validity, perfection, rank and value of any Security
Interest, (x) the collection, sale or other disposition of any of the
Collateral, (y) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights
conferred upon it under the Canadian Security Documents or (z) any Event of
Default.
Any such amount not paid on demand shall, unless prohibited by Applicable
Law, bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time
plus 2% and shall be an additional Canadian Secured Obligation hereunder.
SECTION 19. Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral.
(a) Each Security Interest granted hereunder shall terminate, and all
rights to the relevant Collateral shall revert to the relevant Lien Grantor, if,
as and to the extent permitted by Section 9.02 and 9.03 of the Credit Agreement,
as the case may be.
(b) Upon any termination of a Security Interest or release of Collateral,
the Collateral Agent will, at the expense of the relevant Lien Grantor, execute
and deliver to such Lien Grantor such documents as such Lien Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence the termination of such Security Interest or the
release of such Collateral, as the case may be.
SECTION 20. Additional Guarantors and Lien Grantors.
Any Canadian Subsidiary may become a party hereto by signing and delivering
to the Collateral Agent a Guarantee and Security Agreement Supplement, whereupon
such Subsidiary shall become (a) a "Guarantor" or (b) a "Guarantor" and a "Lien
Grantor" as defined herein.

SECTION 21. Change of Status.
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if any
Unrestricted Guarantor (other than XCFI before the XCFI Release Date) shall
become a "Specified Subsidiary" under the Reference Indenture (or if the High
Yield Indenture ceases to be the Reference Indenture, a corresponding category
under the new Reference Indenture) after the Canadian Effective Date, such
Guarantor shall be treated as a Restricted Guarantor for the purpose of this
Agreement, and Liens on the Collateral of such Guarantor shall lapse.
(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if any
Restricted Guarantor (other than XCFI before the XCFI Release Date) shall cease
to be a "Specified Subsidiary" under the Reference Indenture (or if the High
Yield Indenture ceases to be the Reference Indenture, a corresponding category
under the new Reference Indenture) at the end of any Fiscal Year, such Guarantor
shall be treated as an Unrestricted Guarantor for the purpose of this Agreement,
and, unless such Guarantor is still an ESOP Restricted Guarantor, its grant of a
Security Interest in its Collateral pursuant hereto shall become effective,
starting the first day after the end of such Fiscal Year.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, a Guarantor
shall cease to be an ESOP Restricted Guarantor immediately after it or Xerox's
obligations under the ESOP Guarantee Agreement have been terminated.
(d) Upon becoming a Secured Guarantor under this Section 21, each such
Secured Guarantor shall at its own expense, promptly execute and deliver all
further documents and take all further action necessary or appropriate to give
effect to the provisions and intent of this Agreement and to complete the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation,
deliver to Collateral Agent all documents and instruments required to be
delivered under Section 7 in respect of Pledged Securities.
SECTION 22. Notices.
All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall
be in writing (including bank wire, telex, facsimile transmission or similar
writing) and shall be given to such party at its address or telex or facsimile
number set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or
facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose by notice
to the Collateral Agent and the Canadian Borrower. All notices and other
communication given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement will be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.
SECTION 23. Waivers, Non-Exclusive Remedies.
No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to
exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to,
any right or remedy under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and
remedies in the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other
rights or remedies provided by law.
33
SECTION 24. Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties and their successors and, in the case of the Lenders, permitted assigns
pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement and in the event of an
assignment of all or any of the Canadian Secured Obligations, the rights
hereunder, to the extent applicable to the obligation so assigned, shall be
automatically transferred with such obligation. This Agreement shall be binding
on the Canadian Borrower, each Guarantor and its successors and assigns.
SECTION 25. Changes in Writing.
Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended,
modified or terminated except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the parties hereto, with the consent of such Lenders as are
required to consent thereto under Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 26. Ontario Law.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein,
except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the
extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than Ontario
are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.
SECTION 27. Judgment Currency
If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to
convert a sum due from a Guarantor or the Canadian Borrower in the currency
expressed to be payable in any Loan Document (the "specified currency") into
another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may
effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Collateral Agent could purchase
the specified currency with such other currency at the Collateral Agent's
Toronto office on the domestic Business Day preceding that on which final
judgment is given. The obligations of the Guarantor or the Canadian Borrower in
respect of any sum due to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding
any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only
to the extent that on the domestic Business Day following receipt by the
Collateral Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the
Collateral Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the
specified currency with such other currency; if the amount of the specified
currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Collateral
Agent, in the specified currency, the Guarantor or the Canadian Borrower agrees,
to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation
and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Collateral Agent,
against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased
exceeds the sum originally due to the Collateral Agent, in the specified
currency, then the Collateral Agent agrees to remit such excess to the Guarantor
or the Canadian Borrower.
34
SECTION 28. Interest Act
For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the
annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided
in the Credit Agreement and in this Agreement (and stated herein as applicable
to be computed on the basis of a 365 day year or any other period of time less
than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by
the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 365 or
such other period of time.
SECTION 29. Saskatchewan
It is hereby agreed that The Limitation of Civil Rights Act of the Province
of Saskatchewan, or any provision thereof, shall have no application to this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument renewing or extending or collateral to
this Agreement.
SECTION 30. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH PARTY HERETO AND ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE
BENEFITS HEREOF OR BY SEEKING TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
ANY CANADIAN SECURITY DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY AND FOR
ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY),
AND OF EACH OF SUCH PARTIES (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
COUNSEL OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 31. Severability.
If any provision of any Canadian Security Document is invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
(i) the other provisions of the Canadian Security Documents shall remain in full
force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor
of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in order to carry out the
intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible; and (ii) the
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other

duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year
first above written.
