In addi-tion thereto, each Grantor further agrees that (i) in the event that notice is necessary under appli-cable law, written notice mailed to a Grantor at such Grantor’s address as provided herein, ten (10) business days prior to the date of public sale of any of the Collateral subject to the security interest created herein or prior to the date after which private sale or any other disposition of said Collateral will be made shall constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reason-able manner or at any other time shall be suffi-cient; (ii) in the event of sale or other dis-position of any such Collateral, the Administrative Agent may apply the proceeds of any such sale or dis-position to the satis-faction of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Administrative Agent’s taking, retaking, holding, pre-paring for sale, and selling of the Collateral (including the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice LLP, who will act as the legal counsel, collectively, for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties); (iii) without pre-cluding any other methods of sale, the sale of Collateral shall have been made in a com-mercially reasonable manner if con-ducted in con-formity with reason-able commercial practices of banks dis-posing of similar property but in any event the Administrative Agent may sell on such terms as the Administrative Agent may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind; (iv) the Administrative Agent may require the Grantors to assemble the Collateral, taking all neces-sary or appropriate action to preserve and keep it in good con-dition, and make such available to

9.    Continuing Security Interest. Any and all of the Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to the security interests here-under shall continue unim-paired, and the Grantors shall be and remain obligated in accord-ance with the terms hereof, not-with-standing the release or sub-stitution of any Collateral at any time or of any rights or interests there-in, or any delay, exten-sion of time, renewal, compro-mise or other indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in reference to any of the Obligations, or any promissory note, draft, bill of exchange or other instrument or Credit Document given in con-nection there-with, the Grantors hereby

10.    No Waiver. No delay on the Administrative Agent’s part in exer-cising any power of sale, option or other right here-under, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Grantor by the Administrative Agent, shall con-stitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Administrative Agent’s right to take any action or to exer-cise any other power of sale, option or any other right here-under, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Administrative Agent’s rights as against any Grantor in any respect.

11.    Financing Statements. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that contain the information required by the U.C.C. of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor, and (ii) a description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine is necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request. Each Grantor agrees to reim-burse the Administrative Agent for the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expense of any such filings in any location deemed necessary and appropriate by the Administrative Agent. To the extent lawful, each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact (without requiring the Administrative Agent to act as such) to perform all other acts that the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to perfect and continue its security interest in, and to protect and preserve, the Collateral.

12.    Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby appoints any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with the limited power (i) effective at any time an Event of Default (and the expiration of any cure period related thereto) has occurred and is continuing, to execute and file or record any Assignments of Mortgage with respect to any Portfolio Investment, (ii) effective after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and the expiration of any cure period related thereto), to endorse the name of such Grantor upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment or Collateral which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent; to sign and endorse the name of such Grantor upon any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against Account Debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts; to give written notice to such office and officials of the United States Postal Service to affect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to any or all Grantors may be delivered directly to the Administrative Agent (the Administrative Agent will return all mail not related to the Obligations or the Collateral); granting unto such Grantor’s said attorney full power to do any and all things necessary to be done with respect to the above transactions as fully and effectively as the Grantor might or could do, and hereby ratifying all its said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to

13.    Remedies, Etc., Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent provided for in this Agreement or the Credit Documents or in any of the other instruments or agreements securing the Obligations or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement, the Credit Documents or in any such other instrument or agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Administrative Agent of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof.

This is a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by written agreement of the parties and until all of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all of the Obligations have been fully paid. This Agreement and the liens and security interests created and granted hereunder shall remain in effect, notwithstanding the fact that at any time or from time to time there may be no Obligations outstanding, in order to secure all future Obligations. If this Agree-ment is revoked by opera-tion of law as against any Grantor, such Grantor will indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and its successors or assigns, harm-less from any loss which may be suffered or in-curred by them in making, giving, granting or extending any loans or other credit, financing or financial accommodations, or other-wise acting, here-under prior to receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice in writing of such revo-cation.

15.    Miscellaneous.

Each Grantor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the grant of the security interest hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Guarantor, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Guarantor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Guarantor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 18 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Guarantor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.
