7.                                      RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE SECURED PARTIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

 

7.1                               Effect of Event of Default Remedies.  If any Event of Default described in the Financing Documents shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which such rights, powers and remedies are asserted.

8.                                      REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE; FORECLOSURES.  No right or remedy hereunder is exclusive of any other right or remedy.  Each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to and without prejudice to every other remedy given hereunder, under any other agreement between the Obligor and the Collateral Agent or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and may be exercised from time to time as often as deemed expedient, separately or concurrently.  The giving, taking or enforcement of or execution against any other or additional security, collateral, or guaranty for the payment of the Guaranty Obligations shall not operate to prejudice, waive or affect any rights, powers or remedies hereunder, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to first look to, enforce, exhaust or execute against such other or additional security, or guarantees prior to so acting against the Collateral.  The Collateral Agent may foreclose on or execute against the items of Collateral in such order as the Collateral Agent may, in its sole and unfettered discretion, determine.

11.                               NOTICE.  All notices, demands and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be by messenger or overnight air courier, facsimile transmission, e-mail or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered (or, if such day is not a business day, the next occurring business day) by messenger or overnight air courier, upon completion of facsimile transmission or e-mail (with, in each case, electronic confirmation of receipt) or two business days after deposit in the United States mail, registered or certified, with postage prepaid, addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth on the signature page hereof, or at such other address as any party shall have furnished to the other parties in writing in accordance with the requirements of this Section 11.

14.                               ADDITIONAL SECURED PARTIES.  If any Loan Party enters into any other Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), then, upon written notice by the Obligor to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, the holders of the indebtedness under such Note Purchase Agreements shall become additional Secured Parties (each, an “Additional Secured Party”) hereunder.  Effective upon such notice, each Additional Secured Party shall have the same rights and obligations as the other Secured Parties hereunder and the term “Secured Parties” as used herein shall be deemed to include each such Additional Secured Party.  Notwithstanding Section 15.2, no consent of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall be necessary to add such holders as additional Secured Parties.
