Authority of Administrative Agent to Release Collateral and Liens Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other disposition of Property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 9.12 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents.
Appointment of Supplemental Collateral Agents It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that Administrative Agent appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Collateral Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Collateral Agents”). In the event that Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9 and of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 that refer to Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent and all references therein to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require. Should any instrument in writing from Company or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, Company shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.
Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special assessments, levies, fees and governmental charges imposed upon or assessed against, and landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law against, all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds 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 Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.2 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2 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. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Security 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 shall have no liability to such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take 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 Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
Consent to Collateral Assignment Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.05, Seller may (but is not obligated to) assign this Agreement as collateral to a Lender for any financing or refinancing of the Generating Facility, including a Sale-Leaseback Transaction or Equity Investment and, in connection therewith, Buyer shall in good faith work with Seller and Lender to agree upon a consent to a collateral assignment of this Agreement or to a Sale-Leaseback Transaction or Equity Investment, as applicable (“Collateral Assignment Agreement”). The Collateral Assignment Agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably agreed to by Xxxxx, Seller and Lender, and shall include, among others, the following provisions (together with such other commercially reasonable provisions required by any Lender that are reasonably acceptable to Buyer): Buyer shall give, to the Person(s) to be specified by Lender in the Collateral Assignment Agreement, simultaneously with the Notice to Seller and before exercising its right to terminate this Agreement, written Notice of any event or circumstance known to Buyer which would, if not cured within the applicable cure period specified in Article VI, constitute an Event of Default (an “Incipient Event of Default”); Lender shall have the right to cure an Incipient Event of Default or an Event of Default by Seller in accordance with the same provisions of this Agreement as apply to Seller; Following an Event of Default by Seller under this Agreement, Buyer may require Seller to (although Lender may, but shall have no obligation, subject to 9.05(g)) provide to Buyer a report concerning: The status of efforts by Seller or Lender to develop a plan to cure the Event of Default; Impediments to the cure plan or its development; If a cure plan has been adopted, the status of the cure plan’s implementation (including any modifications to the plan as well as the expected timeframe within which any cure is expected to be implemented); and Any other information which Buyer may reasonably require related to the development, implementation and timetable of the cure plan; Seller or Lender shall provide the report to Buyer within 10 Business Days after Notice from Buyer requesting the report. Buyer shall have no further right to require the report with respect to a particular Event of Default after that Event of Default has been cured; Lender shall have the right to cure an Event of Default or Incipient Event of Default on behalf of Seller, only if Xxxxxx sends a written notice to Buyer before the end of any cure period indicating Xxxxxx’s intention to cure. Lender may remedy or cure the Event of Default or Incipient Event of Default within the cure period under this Agreement. Such cure period for Lender shall be extended for each day Buyer does not provide the Notice to Lender referred to in Section 9.05(a). In addition, such cure period may, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, be extended by no more than an additional 180 days. If possession of the Generating Facility is necessary to cure such Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default, Lender has commenced foreclosure proceedings within 60 days after receipt of such Notice from Buyer, and Lender is making diligent and consistent efforts to complete such foreclosure, take possession of the Generating Facility and promptly cure the Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default, Lender or its designee(s) or assignee(s) will be allowed a reasonable period of time to complete such foreclosure proceedings, take possession of the Generating Facility and cure such Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default, not to exceed 180 days after Xxxxxx’s commencement of foreclosure. Additionally, if Lender is prohibited from curing any Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default by any process, stay or injunction issued by a Governmental Authority or pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, then the time period for curing such Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default shall be extended for the period of the prohibition provided that Lender is exercising reasonable diligence in having such process, stay or injunction removed; Lender shall have the right to consent before any termination of this Agreement which does not arise out of an Event of Default or the end of the Term; Lender shall receive prior Notice of, and shall have the right to approve material amendments to this Agreement, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; In the event Lender, directly or indirectly, takes title to the Generating Facility (including title by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure), the Person taking title to the Generating Facility shall assume all of Seller’s obligations arising under this Agreement and all related agreements (subject to such limits on liability as are mutually agreed to by Seller, Buyer and Lender as set forth in the Collateral Assignment Agreement); provided, however, that Lender (or such Person) shall have no liability for any monetary obligations of Seller under this Agreement which are due and owing to Buyer as of the assumption date (but this provision may not be interpreted to limit Buyer’s rights to proceed against Seller as a result of an Event of Default) and Lender’s (or such Person’s) liability to Buyer after such assumption shall be limited to its interest in the Generating Facility; provided further, that before such assumption, if Buyer advises Lender (or such Person) that Buyer will require that Lender (or such Person) cure (or cause to be cured) one or more monetary or non-monetary Incipient Event(s) of Default or Event(s) of Default existing as of the date such Person takes title in order to avoid the exercise by Buyer (in its sole discretion) of Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Incipient Event(s) of Default or Event(s) of Default, then Lender (or such Person) at its option and in its sole discretion may elect to either (i) cause such Incipient Event(s) of Default or Event of Default to be cured, or (ii) not assume this Agreement; If Lender has assumed this Agreement as provided in Section 9.05(h) and elects to sell or transfer the Generating Facility (after Lender directly or indirectly, takes title to the Generating Facility), or sale of the Generating Facility occurs through the actions of Lender or an agent of or representative of Lender (excluding any foreclosure sale where a third party other than Lender, Seller, an Related Entity of Lender or an Related Entity of Seller is the buyer), then Lender must cause the transferee or buyer to assume all of Seller’s obligations arising under this Agreement and all related agreements as a condition of the sale or transfer excluding, however, a foreclosure (unless the transferee or buyer is Lender, Seller, an Related Entity of Lender or an Related Entity of Seller). Lender shall be released from all further obligations under the Agreement and all related documents following such assumption. Such sale or transfer (excluding a foreclosure) may be made only to a Person reasonably acceptable to Buyer; and If this Agreement is rejected in Seller’s Bankruptcy or otherwise terminated in connection therewith and if Lender or its representative or designee, directly or indirectly, takes title to the Generating Facility, then, at the request of either Buyer or Lender, Buyer and Lender (or its designee or representative) shall promptly enter into a new agreement with Buyer having substantially the same terms as this Agreement for the term that would have been remaining under this Agreement, provided that Lender’s (or its designee’s or representative’s) liability under such new agreement shall be limited to its interest in the Generating Facility and neither Lender (or its designee or representative) nor Buyer shall have any personal liability to the other for any amounts owing and neither Buyer nor Lender (or its designee or representative) shall have any obligation to cure any defaults under the original Agreement that was rejected in, or otherwise terminated in connection with Seller’s Bankruptcy.
Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether any Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral Upon payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the Security Interests shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Debtor. Upon such termination of the Security Interest or release of any Collateral, the Secured Party will, at the expense of Debtor, execute and deliver to Debtor such documents as Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interest or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.
