Pledged Shares (i) Grantors will cause the Pledged Shares to constitute at all times 100% of the total number of Shares that are not Excluded Shares of each Issuer then outstanding owned by Grantors. (ii) Until the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and upon receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent to Grantors with respect to the discontinuance of such voting and other rights, Grantors shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Shares for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided that Grantors jointly and severally agree that they will not vote the Pledged Shares in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Grantors or cause to be executed and delivered to Grantors all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as Grantors may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Grantors to exercise the rights and powers that they are entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4.04(a)(ii). (iii) Until the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and upon receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent to Grantors with respect to the discontinuance of such Grantors retaining such dividends and other amounts; Grantors shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends, distributions or proceeds on the Pledged Shares. (iv) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and upon receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent to Grantors with respect to the discontinuance of such Grantors retaining such dividends and other amounts, whether or not Administrative Agent exercises any available right to declare any Secured Obligations due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement relating to such Secured Obligation, all dividends and other distributions on the Pledged Shares shall be paid directly to Administrative Agent for distribution to Secured Parties and retained by them as part of the Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if Administrative Agent shall so request in writing, Grantors jointly and severally agree to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end, provided, that if such Event of Default is no longer continuing, any such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to Administrative Agent shall, upon request of Grantors (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Secured Obligations), be returned by Administrative Agent to Grantors.
Pledged Securities (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent's intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 7.01(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Securities paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Securities. (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then at any time in the Administrative Agent's discretion without notice, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders (or other equivalent body) of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder (and each Issuer party hereto hereby agrees) to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Administrative Agent. (d) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if the Issuer of any Pledged Securities is the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, custodianship or other proceedings under the supervision of any Governmental Authority, then all rights of the Grantor in respect thereof to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by such Issuer shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such voting or other consensual rights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
Pledged Collateral (a) Each Grantor is the holder of record and the legal and beneficial owner, free and clear of all Liens other than the Security Interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties hereunder and Permitted Encumbrances, of the Pledged Collateral indicated on Schedule 4 as being owned by such Grantor and any Pledged Collateral owned by such Grantor and acquired after the Closing Date. (b) All of the Pledged Collateral constituting Pledged Interests is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (provided that Pledged Interests which are ULC Shares will be assessable in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act (Nova Scotia)) and such Pledged Interests constitute or will constitute the percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Pledged Companies of each applicable Grantor identified on Schedule 4, any Pledged Collateral Addendum or any Supplement to this Agreement. All of the Pledged Collateral constituting Pledged Notes is duly authorized, validly issued and delivered by the issuer of such Pledged Note and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such issuer and such issuer is not in default thereunder. Each Grantor has the right and requisite authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent as provided herein. (c) All actions necessary to perfect or establish the first priority of the Administrative Agent’s Liens (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) in the Pledged Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, have been duly taken, (A) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (B)(i) upon the taking of possession by the Administrative Agent of any certificates constituting the Pledged Interests, to the extent such Pledged Interests are represented by certificates, together with undated powers endorsed in blank by the applicable Grantor and (ii) upon the taking of possession by the Administrative Agent of any promissory notes constituting the Pledged Notes, together with undated powers endorsed in blank by the applicable Grantor; and (C) upon the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in the applicable jurisdiction for such Grantor with respect to the Pledged Interests of such Grantor that are not represented by certificates. Each Grantor has delivered to and deposited with the Administrative Agent (or, with respect to any Pledged Collateral created or obtained after the Closing Date, will deliver and deposit in accordance with Section 4.12 hereof) all certificates representing the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor to the extent such Pledged Interests are represented by certificates, all promissory notes representing the Pledged Notes owned by such Grantor, and undated powers endorsed in blank with respect to such certificates or promissory notes. (d) None of the Pledged Collateral owned or held by such Grantor has been issued or transferred in violation of any securities registration, securities disclosure, or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject.
Exercise of Rights in Pledged Collateral (i) Without in any way limiting the foregoing and subject to clause (ii) below, the Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided however, that no vote or other right shall be exercised or action taken which would have the effect of impairing the rights of the Lender in respect of the Pledged Collateral. (ii) The Grantor will permit the Lender or its nominee at any time after the occurrence of a Default, without notice, to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Capital Stock or Investment Property constituting Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof. (iii) The Grantor shall be entitled to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent not in violation of the Credit Agreement other than any of the following distributions and payments (collectively referred to as the “Excluded Payments”): (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital of an issuer; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; provided however, that until actually paid, all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the Liens created by this Security Agreement; and (iv) All Excluded Payments and all other distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Lender to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by the Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, be segregated from the other property or funds of the Grantor, and be forthwith delivered to the Lender as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral (i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement; and (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of a Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) of this subsection shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.
Security Interests in Collateral To secure their Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Loan Parties shall grant to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties, a first-priority security interest in all of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents.
Possessory Collateral Immediately upon Borrower's receipt of any portion of the Collateral evidenced by an agreement, Instrument or Document, including, without limitation, any Tangible Chattel Paper and any Investment Property consisting of certificated securities, Borrower shall deliver the original thereof to Lender together with an appropriate endorsement or other specific evidence of assignment thereof to Lender (in form and substance acceptable to Lender). If an endorsement or assignment of any such items shall not be made for any reason, Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Borrower's attorney and agent-in-fact, to endorse or assign the same on Borrower's behalf.
Securities Collateral Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Securities Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Securities Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private placement may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a sale without such restrictions (including an offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private placement shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to be commercially unreasonable and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Securities Collateral to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request in order to determine the amount of Securities Collateral which may be sold by Secured Party in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
Collateral Subject to the terms of the applicable Collateral Documents, to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations hereunder, pursuant to a Collateral Account Pledge, a Security Agreement, the related financing statements and the other related documents, the Guarantor shall grant, and shall pledge and/or assign by way of security, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, as applicable, a first priority, security interest and Xxxx in and on its interests in the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising: (i) any and all Unfunded Capital Commitments of the Investors, whether now or hereafter committed, including but not limited to the right to draw down Investor Capital Contributions on such Unfunded Capital Commitments from such Investors and to issue Investor Capital Calls with respect thereto; (ii) to the extent relating to the Unfunded Capital Commitments of the Investors constituting Collateral in clause (i) above, (x) the Constituent Documents, (y) the Subscription Agreements and Side Letters, if any, of such Investors and (z) any and all guaranties of such Investors’ obligations under the Constituent Documents and Subscription Agreements including but not limited to, in each case of clauses (x), (y) and (z), any and all representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of such Investors or guarantors contained therein, any and all duties and obligations of such Investors or guarantors thereunder and any and all rights to compel performance and enforce the provisions thereof against such Investors or guarantors and otherwise pursue remedies against such Investors or guarantors with respect thereto; (iii) any and all agreements, instruments and other documents of every kind or description to the extent evidencing or supporting obligations under any of the foregoing Collateral and any and all security and other property with respect to such Collateral; (iv) each Collateral Account, including but not limited to any and all funds and financial assets on deposit therein or credited thereto; and (v) any and all proceeds of any of the foregoing Collateral including, without limitation, all of the records of the Guarantor concerning any of the foregoing Collateral; excluding (A) any funds properly withdrawn from a Collateral Account (or that could be withdrawn pursuant to the Credit Agreement if deposited or credited to a Collateral Account) to the extent used, pursuant to the terms of the Guarantor’s Governing Documents, to purchase Portfolio Investments (other than Permitted Investments deposited in or credited to any such account), to make payments or distributions to Investors in accordance with the terms hereof or for any other purpose permitted under the Guarantor’s Governing Documents and this Credit Agreement, and (B) the proceeds of such withdrawn funds (the items in (A) and (B), collectively “Excluded Proceeds”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (i) the term “Collateral” shall not include the Unfunded Capital Commitments of the SOX Insiders, including but not limited to the right to draw down Investor Capital Contributions on such Unfunded Capital Commitments, or any other interests of the SOX Insiders, if any, unless so elected by the Guarantor in its discretion, (ii) the term “Collateral” shall not include any Portfolio Investment, any Portfolio Assets or any Excluded Proceeds, (iii) the term “Collateral” shall not include any collateral posted or received in connection with the Swap Agreements, (iv) the Collateral may be subject to Permitted Liens, (v) a Borrower or the Guarantor may maintain other bank accounts or securities accounts in addition to the Collateral Accounts that will not be considered “Collateral” and such other accounts shall not be subject to control agreements or other restrictions and (vi) the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall not have any Lien on any property that is not “Collateral”, except in connection with any Swap Agreement, as provided therein.
Escrowed Shares a. With respect to the Escrowed Shares, upon an event of default as set forth in the Pledge Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall send written notice to the Transfer Agent ("Escrow Notice") to transfer such number of Escrow Shares as set forth in the Escrow Notice to the Buyers. Upon receipt of an Escrow Notice, the Transfer Agent shall promptly transfer such number of Escrow Shares to the Buyers as shall be set forth in the Escrow Notice delivered to the Transfer Agent by the Escrow Agent. Further, the Transfer Agent shall promptly transfer such shares from the Buyers to any subsequent transferee promptly upon receipt of written notice from the Buyers or their counsel. If the Escrow Shares are not registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, then the certificates for the Escrow Shares shall bear the legend set forth in Section 1b. b. In the event that counsel to the Company fails or refuses to render an opinion as may be required by the Transfer Agent to affect a transfer of the Escrow Shares (either with or without restrictive legends, as applicable), then the Company irrevocably and expressly authorizes counsel to the Buyers to render such opinion. The Transfer Agent shall accept and be entitles to rely on such opinion for the purpose of transferring the Escrow Shares.
