Common use of Right of Sale of Disposition Proceeds Collateral After the Occurrence of an Event of Default Clause in Contracts

Right of Sale of Disposition Proceeds Collateral After the Occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may sell, without recourse to judicial proceedings, by way of one or more contracts, with the right (except at private sale) to bid for and buy, free from any right of redemption, any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral) upon five (5) days’ notice (which notice is agreed to be reasonable notice for the purposes hereof) to the Grantors of the time and place of sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in the Administrative Agent’s complete discretion at public sale, including a sale at any broker’s board or exchange or private sale. The Administrative Agent is also hereby authorized, but not obligated, to take such actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as the Administrative Agent may deem required or appropriate in the event of sale or disposition of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral. Each Grantor understands that the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any portion thereof, than would otherwise be obtainable if the same were registered and sold in the open market. Each Grantor agrees (A) that in the event the Administrative Agent shall so sell such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any portion thereof, at such private sale or sales, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any member firm of a national securities exchange as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such a private sale thereof (any expense borne by the Administrative Agent in obtaining such advice to be paid by the Grantors as an expense related to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder), and (B) that such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Administrative Agent handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to take any steps to permit such Disposition Proceeds Collateral to be sold at a public sale or to delay a sale to permit the Escrow Subsidiaries to register such Disposition Proceeds Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state securities law. In case of any sale by the Administrative Agent of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Disposition Proceeds Collateral sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Disposition Proceeds Collateral so sold. In case of any such failure, such Disposition Proceeds Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold. In connection with the sale of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, the Administrative Agent is authorized, but not obligated, to limit prospective purchasers to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the Administrative Agent to render such sale exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws, and no sale so made in good faith by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to be “commercially reasonable” because so made. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party have any right to sell, foreclose upon, or compel the sale of, any Escrowed Shares.
