(iii) subject to the terms of any applicable Collateral Access Agreement, occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and

(iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Contracts, the Receivables, and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal of, all funds with respect to the Deposit Accounts, (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables, and the other Collateral, including without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC and (D) exercise any and all voting, consensual and other rights with respect to any Collateral.

(b) Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. Each Grantor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action with regard thereto. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by utilizing internet sites that routinely provide for the auction of assets of the type included in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(c) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all payments received by any Grantor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(d) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or part of the Secured Obligations against any funds deposited with it or held by it.

(e) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of any or all of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents and take such other actions as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within five Business Days of written notice thereafter from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold by such Grantor under the Intellectual Property Collateral, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf.

(f) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Securities Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this Section 8.01, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will, at its own expense:

(i) provide the Collateral Agent with such information and projections as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, advisable to enable the Collateral Agent to effect the sale of such Securities Collateral; and

(ii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Securities Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

(g) Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Securities Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.01, to deliver any information provided to it by any Grantor at any time.

(h) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties by reason of the failure of such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in Section 8.01(f); and consequently, agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it will pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Securities Collateral on the date the Collateral Agent demands compliance with Section 8.01(f).

Section 8.02 No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.06), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 8.03 Application of Proceeds. Upon the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, any proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any realization upon any Collateral shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.01 Concerning Collateral Agent.

(a) Appointment. The Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent in the Loan Agreement and shall act in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Collateral Agent may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights (including making demands and giving notices) and take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Loan Agreement. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral Agent may resign, and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement. On the acceptance of appointment as the successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.

(b) Duty of care. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral (including matters relating to the Pledged Securities, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters) or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

(c) Reliance. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it 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 and its duties hereunder.

(d) Conflict. If any item of Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other document in respect of such collateral, the provisions of this Agreement shall control unless the other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument expressly states otherwise.

Section 9.02 Performance By Collateral Agent. Provided that such action does not violate any applicable Legal Requirements, if any Grantor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including covenants to pay insurance, taxes and claims arising by operation of law in respect of the Collateral and to pay or perform any Grantor obligations under any Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Grantor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) following notice to such Grantor of such failure to perform and such Grantor’s failure to remedy such failure within a commercially reasonable time period, do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may make payments for such purpose; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Grantor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Grantor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement. Any and all amounts so paid by the Collateral Agent shall be reimbursed by the Grantors in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.08. Neither the provisions of this Section 9.02 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.02 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default.

Section 9.03 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time during the existence and continuance of any Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any liability to such Grantor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). Except where prior notice is expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Grantor prior to taking any action taken in the preceding sentence, provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not limit the Collateral Agent’s right to take such action or the validity of any such action. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

Section 9.04 Continuing Security Interest and Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) be binding upon the Grantors, their respective successors and assigns and (b) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling Persons; provided that, no Grantor shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection (b), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

Section 9.05 Termination and Release.

(a) At such time as the Loans and the other Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations in which no claim has been made or is reasonably foreseeable), the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or any further action by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Loan Agreement, then the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement in such Collateral shall be released, and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases and other documents reasonably necessary or advisable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral; provided that the Grantors shall provide to the Collateral Agent evidence of such transaction’s compliance with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. At the request and sole expense of the Grantors, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Equity Interests of such Grantor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Loan Agreement; provided that the Grantors shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least five Business Days (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Grantors stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.06 Modification in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall be effective, except by a written instrument signed by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. Any amendment, modification or supplement of any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Grantor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

Section 9.07 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Loan Agreement, and, as to any Grantor, addressed to it at the address of such Grantor set forth in Schedule 1 hereof and as to the Collateral Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Loan Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.

Section 9.08 Indemnity and Expenses.

(a) Each Grantor shall indemnify the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Secured Party, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Loan Agreement, including that an Indemnitee will not be entitled to collect Excluded Damages from a Grantor.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any Indemnitee on any theory of liability for Excluded Damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any extension of credit or the use of proceeds thereof.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor its Secured Obligations or otherwise protecting, enforcing or preserving any rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including the fees and other charges of counsel to the Collateral Agent.

(d) All amounts due under this Section 9.08 shall be payable not later than 15 days after demand therefor, shall constitute Secured Obligations and, if such amounts remain unpaid for 15 days, then such unpaid amounts shall bear interest until paid at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any past due Loan under the Loan Agreement.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Grantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of each Grantor contained in this Section 9.08 shall survive termination of the Loan Documents and payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

Section 9.09 Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. The other provisions of Sections 9.09 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process) and Section 9.10 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof.

Section 9.10 Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.11 No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Grantor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Grantor’s part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral or from any liability to any Person in respect of any of the Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Grantor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Grantor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Grantor contained in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or in respect of the Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Collateral. The obligations of each Grantor contained in this Section 9.11 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of such Grantor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.12 Obligations Absolute. Each Grantor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or any Loan Document or any related agreement or instrument;

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations or any other obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, or any amendment or other modification of any Loan Document or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for the Secured Obligations;

(d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured Obligations;

(e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;

(f) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, ownership or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(g) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party; each Grantor waiving any duty of the Secured Parties to disclose such information;

(h) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any other agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Grantor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations;

(i) the failure of any Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

(j) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, any Grantor against any Secured Party; or

(k) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might vary the risk of any Grantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

Section 9.13 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Collateral Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. Except as provided in Article VI (Conditions Precedent) of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Collateral Agent and when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic PDF format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic or digital signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity, and enforceability as manually executed signatures or a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 U.S.C. §§ 7001 to 7031), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), or any state law based on the UETA.

FORM OF JOINDER AGREEMENT

THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT (the “Joinder Agreement”), dated as of {DATE} is made by {JOINING GRANTOR}, a {STATE OF ORGANIZATION} {ENTITY TYPE} (the “Joining Grantor”), and delivered to GGG Partners, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, in its capacity as collateral agent (in such capacity and together with any successors in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) under that certain Security Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement), dated as of {DATE} made by and among SCG Holding LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, PBS HoldCo LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, Mesa Organics Ltd., a Colorado limited liability company, Mesa Organics II Ltd, a Colorado limited liability company, Mesa Organics III Ltd, a Colorado limited liability company, and Mesa Organics IV Ltd, a Colorado limited liability company (each, a “Grantor” and collectively, the “Grantors”), in favor of the Collateral Agent.

WHEREAS, the Joining Grantor is a Subsidiary of Grantor and required by the terms of the Loan Agreement to become a Guarantor (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and be joined as a party to the Security Agreement as a Grantor;

WHEREAS, this Joinder Agreement supplements the Security Agreement and is delivered by the Joining Grantor pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Security Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Joining Grantor will materially benefit directly and indirectly from the Loans made available and to be made available to the Grantors by the Lender under the Loan Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Joining Grantor hereby agrees as follows with the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties:

1. Joinder. The Joining Grantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally becomes a party to the Security Agreement as a Grantor and agrees to be bound by all the terms, conditions, covenants, obligations, liabilities and undertakings of each Grantor or to which each Grantor is subject thereunder, all with the same force and effect as if the Joining Grantor were a signatory to the Security Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as collateral security for the payment and performance in full of all the Secured Obligations, the Joining Grantor hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and grants to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a Lien on and security interest in and to, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral owned by it, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time and expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Grantor thereunder.

2. Affirmations. The Joining Grantor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to each of the covenants applicable to the Grantors contained in the Security Agreement. The Joining Grantor also represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that (i) it has the {corporate} power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this Joinder Agreement and has taken all necessary {corporate} action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Joinder Agreement; (ii) no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person that has not been obtained, made or completed is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance, validity or enforceability of this Joinder Agreement; (iii) this Joinder Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Joining Grantor; and (iv) this Joinder Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Joining Grantor enforceable against such Joining Grantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

3. Supplemental Schedules. Attached to this Joinder Agreement are duly completed schedules (the “Supplemental Schedules”) supplementing the respective Schedules to the Security Agreement. The Joining Grantor represents and warrants that the information contained on each of the Supplemental Schedules with respect to such Joining Grantor and its properties is true, complete and accurate as of the date hereof. Such Supplemental Schedules shall be deemed to be part of the Security Agreement.

4. Severability. The provisions of this Joinder Agreement are independent of and separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this Joinder Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

5. Counterparts. This Joinder Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Joinder Agreement by facsimile or in electronic PDF format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Joinder Agreement.

6. Delivery. The Joining Grantor hereby irrevocably waives notice of acceptance of this Joinder Agreement and acknowledges that the Secured Obligations are incurred, and credit extensions under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents made and maintained, in reliance on this Joinder Agreement and the Joining Grantor’s joinder as a party to the Security Agreement as herein provided.

7. Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Joinder Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Joinder Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware. The provisions of Section 9.09 of the Security Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
