Remedial Provisions
|
Section 5.1 Code and Other Remedies
During the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture, the Collateral Agent may in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by applicable law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Intercreditor Agreement shall prescribe, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
Section 5.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles
(a) In addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Credit Agreements or the Indenture, if required by the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture, any payment of Accounts or payment in respect of General Intangibles, when collected by any Grantor, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, in an Approved Deposit Account or a Cash Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.4 (Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent). Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
26
(b) At the Collateral Agent’s request, during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the Accounts or payments in respect of General Intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
(c) Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreements and the Indenture, the Collateral Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its Accounts or amounts due under General Intangibles or any thereof.
(d) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture communicate with Account Debtors to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Account or amounts due under any General Intangible.
(e) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture, each Grantor shall notify Account Debtors that the Accounts or General Intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent. In addition, the Collateral Agent may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture enforce such Grantor’s rights against such Account Debtors and obligors of General Intangibles.
(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
Section 5.3 Pledged Collateral
(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture, upon notice by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the Collateral Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Collateral, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Collateral 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.
27
(b) In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) only during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture and which proxy shall only terminate upon the earlier to occur of (x) the termination of such Event of Default and (y) the payment in full of the applicable Secured Obligations.
(c) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent.
Section 5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent
All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent under this Section 5 in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. All such Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.
28
Section 5.5 Registration Rights
(a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture or that the applicable Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
Section 5.6 Deficiency
Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency in accordance with Section 14.5 of the Credit Agreements and Section 7.07 of the Indenture.
Section 5.7 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property
(a) Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, solely to the extent necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Security Documents, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to, during the continuance of an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture, use, license or sublicense any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and wherever the same may be located, which license shall include reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) any security interest granted to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder or any other Security Document on any Intellectual Property of any Grantor, and the exercise of any rights and remedies (including any sale, transfer or disposal) by the Collateral Agent related thereto, shall be subject to the license granted in the foregoing sentence at all times and (ii) the Collateral Agent may exercise such license for the benefit of any Secured Party (including the Multi-Currency Secured Parties with respect to the sale, transfer or disposal of any Multi-Currency Collateral), regardless of the priority of Liens on any Collateral granted to such Secured Party, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.
29
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, any security interest granted hereunder in any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property shall be subject to the license granted under the preceding paragraph (a), as such license may be exercised for the benefit of the Secured Parties holding such license, and any sale or transfer of such Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property upon any exercise of remedies under this Agreement shall be made expressly subject to such license.

Anything in this clause (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any right under the power of attorney provided for in this clause (a) unless an Event of Default under any Credit Agreement or the Indenture shall be continuing.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
31
Section 6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent
The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 6.3 Authorization of Financing Statements
Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent (and, to the extent authorized by the Collateral Agent, its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives), at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement under the laws of any jurisdiction of the United States, and such financing statements and amendments may described the Collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the debtor”, “all personal property of the debtor” or words of similar effect. Each Grantor hereby also authorizes the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreements or the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. To the extent that the Intercreditor Agreement conflicts with any other Loan Document or other Noteholder Document with regard to the authority of the Collateral Agent, the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b) If the Collateral Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement to release any Lien created hereby upon any Collateral (including any Collateral sold or disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreements), such Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 9.1 or 9.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement (and, upon such release, shall no longer constitute “Collateral” under the Loan Documents and Noteholder Documents). In connection therewith, the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Company, shall execute and deliver to the Company all releases or other documents, including, without limitation, UCC termination statements, reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Lien created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Company, a Grantor (and its Subsidiaries) shall be released from its obligations hereunder and the Lien granted by such Grantor (and its Subsidiaries) on the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement shall be released in the event that all the capital stock of such Grantor shall be sold or disposed to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreements and the Indenture; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreements, the Indenture, the other Noteholder Documents and the other Loan Documents.
Section 7.13 Reinstatement
Each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Grantor or other Person and applied to the Multi-Currency Payment Obligations, the Term Loan Payment Obligations or the Noteholder Payment Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Grantor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment.
