During the continuance of a Default (except with respect to an Account Receivable owed by an unaffiliated third party and only in the ordinary course of business in an amount and manner consistent with past practice) or Event of Default, the Obligors shall not, without prior written consent of the Agent, grant any extension of time of payment of any Account Receivable, compromise or settle any Account Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, release, in whole or in part, any Person or property liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.
(b)
Each Obligor hereby appoints the Agent or its designee on behalf of such Agent as the Obligors’ attorney-in-fact with power exercisable during the continuance of an Event of Default to endorse any Obligor’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Accounts Receivable, to sign any Obligor’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Accounts Receivable, drafts against Account Debtors with respect to Accounts Receivable, assignments and verifications of

All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until all of the Sellers’ Secured Notes and other Obligations under the Sellers’ Secured Note Documents are paid in full and all of the Sellers’ Secured Note Documents are terminated.

become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Obligor; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the kind described in clause (f) or (g) of this Section 9.01, such acceleration shall be automatic and the Sellers’ Secured Notes and all other Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without the requirement of declaration or any other action by the Agent or any Holder, and (ii) exercise any and all of its other rights and remedies under applicable law (including, but not limited to, the Bankruptcy Code and the Uniform Commercial Code), hereunder and under the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Holder may at any time proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such Holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any of the Sellers’ Secured Note Documents, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.
Section 9.02
No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Sellers’ Secured Notes in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Sellers’ Secured Notes upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise, it being understood that all rights and remedies shall be exercised by the Agent as instructed pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 9.03
Public Announcement. No Obligor shall publish or disclose, or permit to be published or disclosed, the identity of any of the Holders to any other Person or entity at any time for any purpose other than the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Funding Documents; provided, that the restrictions of this sentence shall not apply to any disclosure required by law or governmental process if the applicable Holders have been given reasonable opportunity in advance to review and comment on such disclosure. No Holder shall issue, or cause to be issued, any press release or other widely distributed disclosure of the existence of or transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Funding Documents prior to the first public disclosure of any such information by the Issuer. Nothing herein shall restrict the Issuer, PMGI or any of their agents from issuing any press releases or tombstones regarding the transactions under this Agreement; provided, that no such press releases or tombstones shall indicate information beyond (i) the legal and trade names of the Issuer, PMGI, the Guarantors, the Holders and/or the Agent, (ii) the date of the closing, and (iii) the amounts and types of the Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 9.05
Adjustments Relating to Common Stock Par Value. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, by acceptance of the Warrants, each Holder is deemed to have agreed that PMGI can at any time during the term of the Warrants, unilaterally, in each case with the consent, if required, of the holders of the PMGI Notes (i) change the par value of PMGI Voting Common Stock, including eliminating par value altogether and/or (ii) change the exercise price of the Warrants to the lesser of the stated par value of the PMGI Voting Common Stock or $.01. In the event that the Company changes the
83
par value of the PMGI Voting Common Stock to “no par value,” the exercise price of the Warrants will not change.

Section 10.02
Nature of Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature.
84
WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE AGENT SHALL NOT HAVE BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT, A FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF ANY HOLDER. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Sellers’ Secured Note Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Sellers’ Secured Note Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Holder shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors in connection with the making and the continuance of the Sellers’ Secured Notes hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Obligors and the value of the Collateral, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Holder with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the initial Sellers’ Secured Notes hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a Holder, the Agent shall provide to such Holder any documents or reports delivered to the Agent by the Obligors pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Sellers’ Secured Note Document. If the Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Holders, the Agent shall send notice thereof to each Holder. The Agent shall promptly notify each Holder any time that the Required Holders have instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto. The Agent and each of its affiliates may make loans to, purchase securities from, provide services to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Obligors and the Holders as though it were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any of the Obligors or the Holders. The Agent has no duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or the Equity Documents with respect to the Warrants.
Section 10.03
Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Agent and its directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Sellers’ Secured Notes as the owner thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Agent or counsel to the Obligors), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) shall make no warranty or representation to any Holder and shall not be responsible to any Holder for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Holder for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectibility of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the
85
Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Obligor in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Holders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Whenever pursuant to the provisions hereof or of any of the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents it is required that any Person obtain consent or approval the Agent, or that any matter prove satisfactory to the Agent or that the Agent exercise discretion or make a request or requirement as it may deem necessary or appropriate, the Agent shall consult with the Holders in a manner deemed reasonable by the Agent and the Agent shall be protected in following any direction of the Required Holders. The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Holders with respect to any actions or shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Sellers’ Secured Note Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Holders or until it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or refraining from taking any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Holders.
Section 10.04
Reliance. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
Section 10.05
Indemnification.
(a)
To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Obligors, the Holders will reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its affiliates, partners, members, directors, officers, managers, attorneys, agents and employees from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.07; provided, however, that no Holder shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such liability resulted from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Holders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Sellers’ Secured Notes and the termination of this Agreement.
(b)
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the Agent is not
reimbursed and indemnified by the Obligors, the Holders will jointly and
severally reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its affiliates, partners,
members, directors, officers, managers, attorneys, agents and employees from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or
disbursements
86
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any Account Control Agreement with respect to a deposit account or securities account of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under any such Account Control Agreement; provided, however, that no Holder shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such liability resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or its affiliates, partners, members, directors, officers, managers, attorneys, agents or employees. The obligations of the Holders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of this Agreement.
(c)
If any Holder reimburses or indemnifies the Agent or its affiliates, partners, members, directors, officers, managers, attorneys, agents or employees pursuant to Section 10.05(a) or (b) for an amount that exceeds its Pro Rata Share of the indemnified amount, such Holder shall have a claim against each other Holder for its Pro Rata Share of such indemnified amount.
Section 10.06
Successor Agent.
(a)
The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Issuer and each Holder. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.
(b)
Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Agent, and the Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement and the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents.
(c)
If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the Agent may then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as the Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Holders appoint a successor Agent as provided above, or the Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Agent
(d)
Any corporation into which the Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Agent, shall be the successor to the Agent without further action.
Section 10.07
Collateral Matters.
(a)
The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which the Agent, in its sole discretion, deems
87
necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Sections 8.01(d) or 12.04; provided, that the Agent will provide notice to the Issuer at least 5 days prior to making any Agent Advances (unless giving such notice would prejudice the Agent’s ability to preserve and protect the Collateral, in which case the Agent will provide whatever notice is practicable). The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand, shall bear interest as set forth in Section 2.04(a) or, as applicable, Section 2.04(b), and shall be secured by the Collateral. The Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Sellers’ Secured Note Account in accordance with Section 4.02. All such Agent Advances shall be funded with monies made available by the Holders, as no provisions of this Agreement or any Sellers’ Secured Note Document shall require the Agent to expand or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, unless it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is assured to it.
(b)
The Holders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral upon final payment and satisfaction of all Loans and all other Obligations; or Collateral constituting property being sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of any Obligor’s business and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Holders. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Holders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.07(b).
(c)
Without in any manner limiting the Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Required Holders (as set forth in this Section 10.07(c)), each Holder agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Agent under this Section 10.07. Upon receipt by the Agent of confirmation from the Holders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by any Obligor, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Holders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Holders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Obligor in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Obligor.
(d)
The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Holder to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Obligors or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Sellers’ Secured Note Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any
88
of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section 10.07 or in any other Sellers’ Secured Note Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent’s own interest in the Collateral if it also is one of the Holders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Holder, except as otherwise provided herein.
Section 10.08
Agency for Perfection. Each Holder hereby appoints the Agent and each other Holder as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and the Agent and each Holder hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent, the Holders, the holders of the Senior Secured Notes and the holders of the notes referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of PMGI Notes, as their respective interests appear, as secured parties. Should any Holder obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Holder shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. Each Obligor by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.
Section 10.09
Compensation for Services. For services rendered as Agent hereunder, the Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as is set forth in Exhibit F hereto or as may be agreed between the Agent and the Issuer from time to time. All such compensation shall be paid to the Agent by the Issuer.
ARTICLE XI
GUARANTY
Section 11.01
Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Issuer now or hereafter existing under any Sellers’ Secured Note Document, whether for principal, interest, fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications or otherwise (such obligations, to the extent not paid by the Issuer, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Agent and the Holders in enforcing any rights under the guaranty set forth in this Article XI.
Section 11.02
Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Sellers’ Secured Note Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the Holders with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article XI are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against
89
any Obligor or whether any Obligor is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Article XI shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(a)
any lack of validity or enforceability of any Funding Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b)
any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Funding Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Obligor or otherwise;
(c)
any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d)
any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Obligor;
(e) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety's or guarantor's obligation in proportion to the principal obligation;
(f)
any failure of the Agent or the Holders to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person;
(g)
the election by the Agent or the Holders, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code;
(h)
any extension of credit or the grant of any Liens under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code;
(i)
any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code;
(j)
any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person;
(k)
the avoidance of any Liens in favor of the Agent or the Holders for any reason;
(l)
any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding; or
90
(m)
any other circumstance whatsoever (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agent or the Holders that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor or any other Guarantor or surety.
This Article XI shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent, the Holders or any other Person, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 11.03
Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Article XI, and all notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations and any requirement that the Agent or the Holders exhaust any right or take any action against any Obligor or any other Person or any Collateral. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.03 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Article XI, and acknowledges that this Article XI is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Guarantor otherwise may have against Issuer, the Holders or others, or against collateral, and that, under the circumstances, the waivers and consents herein given are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Section 11.04
Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Article XI is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) and all other amounts payable under this Article XI, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agent and the Holders and their successors, pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Holder may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted such Holder herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 12.07.
Section 11.05
Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Obligor or any other Guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent and the Holders against any Obligor or any other Guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without
91
limitation, the right to take or receive from any Obligor or any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article XI shall have been paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article XI, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent and the Holders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article XI, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Article XI thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Agent and the Holders of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article XI shall be paid in full in cash, the Agent and the Holders will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.
Section 11.06
Liens on Real Property; Other Waivers. In the event that all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations at any time are secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages creating or granting Liens on any interests in real property, each Guarantor authorizes the Agent, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at its sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting any Guaranteed Obligations, the enforceability of this Guaranty, or the validity or enforceability of any Liens of any the Holders on any collateral, to foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust or mortgages by judicial or nonjudicial sale. Insofar as the Liens created herein secure the obligations of other Persons, (i) each Guarantor expressly waives any defenses to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any Liens created or granted hereby or to the recovery by the Agent and the Holders against Issuer or any other Person liable therefor of any deficiency after a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale, even though such a foreclosure or sale may impair the subrogation rights of such Guarantor and may preclude such Guarantor from obtaining reimbursement or contribution from any other Person, (ii) each Guarantor expressly waives any defenses or benefits that may be derived from California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, or comparable provisions of the laws of any other jurisdiction, and all other suretyship defenses it otherwise might or would have under California law or other applicable law, (iii) each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Guarantor or any other surety by reason of §§ 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code and (iv) each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Agent or the Holders, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for any Guaranteed Obligations has destroyed such Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of § 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things (i) the Agent and the Holders may collect from any Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged to secure the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) if the Agent or the Holders forecloses on
92
any real property collateral pledged to secure the Guaranteed Obligations (A) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (B) the Agent and the Holders may collect from any Guarantor even if the Agent or the Holders, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Issuer or any other Obligor. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to any rights or defenses based upon California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 580a, 580b, 580d or 726. Each Guarantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real property or interest therein subject to any such deeds of trust or mortgages and such Guarantor's failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect such Guarantor's obligations hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty or any Liens created or granted hereby.
Section 11.07
Condition of Issuer and its Subsidiaries.

Section 12.05
Right of Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent or any Holder may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Obligor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Obligors) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by the Agent or such Holder to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all obligations of the Obligors either now or hereafter existing under any Sellers’ Secured Note Document, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Holder shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The Agent and each Holder agrees to notify such Obligor promptly after any such setoff and application made by the Agent or such Holder provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Agent and the Holders under this Section 12.05 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Agent and the Holders may have under this Agreement or any other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents or law or otherwise.
Section 12.06
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
96
Section 12.07
Assignments.
(a)
This Agreement and the other Funding Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Obligor and the Agent and each Holder and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that (i) none of the Obligors may assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder, or under any of the other Funding Documents, without the prior written consent of each Holder and any such purported assignment without the Holders’ prior written consent shall be null and void, and (ii) the Warrants issued to the Holders hereunder may not be transferred except as provided therein.
(b)
Each Holder may sell to one or more other Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Sellers’ Secured Notes).
(c)
The Agent shall, on behalf of the Issuer, maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of the Sellers’ Secured Notes, and principal amount of the Sellers’ Secured Notes (the “Registered Sellers’ Secured Notes”) owing to each Holder from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Issuer, the Agent and the Holders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Issuer and any Holder at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the case of any assignment by a Holder to an Affiliate of such Holder, or a fund or account managed by such Holder or an Affiliate of such Holder, and in which such assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Holder shall maintain a comparable register to the Register.
(d)

Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Sellers’ Secured Notes (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Agent shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Sellers’ Secured Notes (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(e) Any foreign Person who purchases or is assigned or participates in any portion of such Registered Sellers’ Secured Notes shall provide the Agent and the Holder with (i) a completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status), as applicable, or a substantially similar form for such purchaser, participant or any other affiliate
97
who is a holder of beneficial interests in the Registered Sellers’ Secured Notes, (ii) notice information for purposes of Section 12.01 hereof, and (iii) payment instructions.
Section 12.08

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Sellers’ Secured Note Document mutatis mutandis.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT AND THE HOLDERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE
98

EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENT AND THE HOLDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 12.12
Consent by the Agent and Holders. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary, if the consent, approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an “Action”) of the Agent or any Holder shall be permitted or required pursuant to any provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to which any Obligor is a party and to which the Agent or any Holder has succeeded thereto, such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by the Agent or such Holder, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason, and without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith.
Section 12.13
No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.
Section 12.14
Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon the Agent or any Holder for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent or such Holder in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, the Agent or such Holder shall give prompt notice of such claim to each other Holder and the Issuer, and if the Agent or such Holder repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Agent or such Holder or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent or such Holder with any such claimant, then and in such event each Obligor agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Sellers’ Secured Note Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Sellers’ Secured Note
99
Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to the Agent or such Holder hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent or such Holder.
Section 12.15
Indemnification.
(a)
General Indemnity. In addition to each Obligor’s other Obligations under this Agreement, each Obligor agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Holder and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Closing Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Funding Document or of any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Agent’s or any Holder’s furnishing of funds to the Issuer under this Agreement or the other Funding Documents, (iii) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Funding Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Funding Documents, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Obligors shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b)
Payment; Survival. The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Sellers’ Secured Note Account; provided, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the recourse of the Agent or the Holders directly against the Indemnitees for such indemnification. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.15 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Obligor shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The indemnities set forth in this Section 12.15 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Sellers’ Secured Note Documents.
Section 12.16
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Obligor, the Agent and each Holder and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Obligor, the Agent and each Holder, and their respective successors and assigns, except no Issuer or Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Holder, and any assignment by any Holder shall be governed by Section 12.07 hereof.
100
Section 12.17
Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Agent and each Holder shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Sellers’ Secured Note Document would be usurious as to the Agent or any Holder under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to the Agent or such Holder notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Sellers’ Secured Note Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to the Agent or any Holder that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by the Agent or such Holder under this Agreement or any other Sellers’ Secured Note Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if previously paid shall be credited by the Agent or such Holder on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the Agent or such Holder, as applicable, to the Issuer); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to the Agent or any Holder may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by the Agent or such Holder, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if previously paid, shall be credited by the Agent or such Holder, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the Agent or such Holder to the Issuer). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Agent or any Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to the Agent or such Holder, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Sellers’ Secured Notes until payment in full. If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to the Agent or any Holder on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Agent or such Holder pursuant to this Section 12.17 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Agent or such Holder would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Agent or such Holder computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Agent or such Holder, then the amount of interest payable to the Agent or such Holder in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Agent or such Holder until the total amount of interest payable to the Agent or such Holder shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Agent or such Holder if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.17.
For purposes of this Section 12.17, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the Obligations that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on the Obligations and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.
101
Section 12.18
Customer Identification Program. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges receipt of the notice included in Exhibit F hereto and made part hereof, which provides that information may be required by the Agent to verify the identities of the parties. Each of the parties hereto shall ensure that any successors or assigns acknowledge receipt of such notice.
