Transfer of Collateral 3.1 On or prior to the receipt of the Loaned Securities, Borrower shall transfer to Lender Collateral in an amount (the “Required Value”) equal to the percentage (the “Margin Percentage”) of the market value of the Loaned Securities as agreed to by the parties (which shall not be less than 100% of the market value of the Loaned Securities) and shall be equal to the percentage specified in Annex I hereto for particular types of loans.
3.2 All transfers of Collateral consisting of securities (including those made pursuant to Section 8) shall be effected in the same manner as that provided in Section 2 for Loaned Securities. All transfers of Collateral consisting of cash (including those made pursuant to Section 8) shall be made by (a) wire transfer in immediately available, freely transferable funds or (b) such other means as the parties hereto may agree. All transfers of Collateral consisting of a letter of credit from Borrower to Lender shall be made by delivery to Lender of an irrevocable performance letter of credit issued by a bank (not affiliated with Borrower) which is acceptable to Lender and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or is a foreign bank that has filed an agreement with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Form FR T-2 (or any successor). Transfer of a letter of credit from Lender to Borrower shall be made by causing such letter of credit to be returned or, through the written consent of Lender, causing the amount of such letter of credit to be reduced to the amount required after such transfer.
3.3 The Collateral transferred by Borrower to Lender, as adjusted pursuant to Section 8, shall be security for Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loan and for any other obligations of Borrower to Lender, and Borrower hereby pledges with, assigns to, and grants Lender a continuing security interest in, and a lien upon, the Collateral (other than letters of credit), which shall attach upon the delivery of the Collateral to Lender and which shall cease upon the redelivery of the Collateral to Borrower.
3.4 Lender may use or invest the Collateral, if such consists of cash, at its own risk and for its own benefit and shall be entitled to retain all income and profits therefrom and shall bear all losses with respect thereto. If the Collateral consists of securities, Lender may pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, lend, relend, sell or otherwise transfer the Collateral and commingle, with other collateral or with its own assets, the Collateral. Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender to be the attorney-in-fact of Borrower for the purpose of doing or performing any act or thing (including, without limitation, executing any document) and to take all other steps as may be required to enable Lender to effect transfer thereof to a third party or to otherwise realize upon any Collateral which has been transferred to it pursuant to any Loan.
3.5 Except as provided in Section 12, Lender shall be obligated to return the Collateral to Borrower upon tender to Lender of the Loaned Securities on termination of the Loan.
3.6 If, on any Business Day corresponding to the commencement date for a Loan, Borrower transfers the Collateral and Lender does not transfer the Loaned Securities, Borrower shall have the absolute right to the immediate return of the Collateral; and if, on any such Business Day, Lender transfers Loaned Securities and Borrower does not transfer Collateral hereunder, Lender shall have the absolute right to the immediate return of the Loaned Securities.
3.7 Borrower may, upon reasonable notice to Lender and with Lender’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), substitute Collateral for Collateral securing any Loan; provided, however, that such substituted Collateral shall (a) consist only of cash, securities or other property that the parties agreed would be acceptable Collateral prior to the commencement of the Loan or Loans and (b) have a market value such that the aggregate market value of such substituted Collateral shall equal or exceed the agreed upon Margin Percentage of the market value of the Loaned Securities. Substituted Collateral shall constitute Collateral hereunder for all purposes.
3.8 A transfer of Loaned Securities or Collateral may be effected on any day except (i) a day on which the intended transferee is closed for business (which transferee may be a designee or agent) or (ii) a day on which a Clearing Organization or wire transfer system is closed, if the facilities of such Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such transfer.
(a) Except as provided in the following sentence, upon receipt of Collateral for a Loan, such Collateral shall be allocated to such Loan; provided that if Collateral is received on the same day for more than one Loan, the Lender shall allocate such Collateral to each Loan then being made so that each such Loan is secured by not less than the Required Value of Collateral. Any Collateral received by Lender with respect to a Loan in excess of the Required Value for such Loan may be held by Lender as collateral security for all Loans made to Borrower at any time without being allocated to any one Loan or, in the sole discretion of Lender, may be allocated at any time to any Loan or Loans then outstanding hereunder. All allocations of Collateral shall be marked in Lender’s books, which shall be conclusive evidence of such allocations.
(b) Lender shall have the right, at its sole election, at any time and from time to time, to allocate and/or reallocate any Collateral held by it hereunder to or among any outstanding Loan or Loans.
(c) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that any allocation of Collateral to any Loan or liabilities due to any Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall in no way affect the ability of Lender to apply such Collateral to the satisfaction of any obligation of Borrower hereunder upon any default hereunder, regardless of the Loan or Account to which such obligation relates, and that all Collateral at any time given hereunder shall constitute collateral security for all the Borrower’s obligations to Lender hereunder without distinction of any kind and upon any default hereunder may be applied to any such obligation or obligations as Lender in its sole discretion may elect.
Substitution of Collateral A Fund may substitute securities for any securities identified as Collateral by delivery to the Custodian of a Pledge Certificate executed by such Fund on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, indicating the securities pledged as Collateral.
Valuation of Collateral Securities Intermediary shall provide view only access to its systems to Secured Party for the purpose of communicating data as to the Reserve Account as of that date.
Disposition of Collateral Such Grantor will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral owned by it except for dispositions specifically permitted pursuant to Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement.
Application of Collateral The proceeds of any sale, or other realization (other than that received from a sale or other realization permitted by the Credit Agreement) upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pledged by the Pledgors shall be applied by the Secured Party as set forth in Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement.
Location of Collateral All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at the business locations set forth in Schedule 8.6.1, except that Borrowers may (a) make sales or other dispositions of Collateral in accordance with Section 10.2.6; and (b) move Collateral to another location in the United States, upon 30 Business Days prior written notice to Agent.
Condition of Collateral Secured Party has no obligation to repair, clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
Inspection of Collateral Lender and Lender's designated representatives and agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine and inspect the Collateral wherever located.
Application of Collateral Proceeds The proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Lender, at the time of or received by Lender after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Lender, including, without limitation, Lender’s Expenses;
(b) Second, to the payment to Lender of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Loans for any accrued and unpaid interest, the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii), if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, the principal balance of the Loans, and all other Obligations with respect to the Loans (provided, however, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Loans, then to the unpaid interest thereon, then to the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii), if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, then to the principal balance of the Loans, and then to the payment of other amounts then payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents); and
(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower, its successors and assigns, or to the Person lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Retention of Collateral In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.
