15
(b) This Agreement shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable grant of security interest to the Omnibus Agent and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all Secured Transactions have terminated. All rights of the Secured Parties and the security interests granted to the Omnibus Agent (for its benefit and the benefit of each other Secured Party) hereunder, and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder, shall, in each case, be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of (i) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Specified Document, (ii) the failure of any Secured Party (A) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Grantor or any other Person under the provisions of any Specified Document or otherwise, or (B) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Obligations, (iii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligations, (iv) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations (except until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all Secured Transactions have terminated) for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Grantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise, (v) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Specified Document, (vi) any addition, exchange or release of any Collateral of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guaranty held by the Omnibus Agent or any other Secured Party securing any of the Obligations, or (vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Grantor or any other Grantor, any surety or any guarantor.
(c) Until one year and one day after all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all Secured Transactions under the Specified Documents have terminated, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against any ResCap Counterparty or any other Grantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Specified Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Omnibus Agent or any other Secured Party against any ResCap Counterparty or any other Grantor or any Collateral which the Omnibus Agent or any other Secured Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any ResCap Counterparty or any other Grantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Grantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or all Secured Transactions have not been terminated, then such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Grantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Omnibus Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and shall forthwith be paid to the Omnibus Agent to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each Grantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Specified Documents and that the waiver set forth in this Section 4(c) is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
16
(d) Except as otherwise provided in any Specified Agreement, if any Secured Party may, under applicable Requirements of Law, proceed to realize its benefits under this Agreement or any Specified Documents giving any Secured Party a lien upon any Collateral, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, such Secured Party may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, any Secured Party shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Grantor or any other Grantor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable Requirements of Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Grantor hereby consents to such action by such Secured Party and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by such Secured Party shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that such Grantor might otherwise have had but for such action by such Secured Party.
5. Collections, etc. Until such time during the existence of an Event of Default as the Omnibus Agent shall notify such Grantor of the revocation of such power and authority, each Grantor (a) will, at its own expense, endeavor to collect, as and when due, all amounts due under any of the Non-Tangible Collateral, including the taking of such action with respect to such collection as the Omnibus Agent may reasonably request or, in the absence of such request, as such Grantor may deem advisable; and (b) may grant, in the ordinary course of business, to any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral, any rebate, refund or allowance to which such party may be lawfully entitled, and may accept, in connection therewith, the return of Goods, the sale or lease of which shall have given rise to such Collateral. The Omnibus Agent, however, may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, whether before or after any revocation of such power and authority or the maturity of any of the Obligations, notify any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment or otherwise render performance to or for the benefit of the Omnibus Agent and enforce, by suit or otherwise the obligations of any such party obligated on any Non-Tangible Collateral. In connection therewith, the Omnibus Agent may surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon request of the Omnibus Agent following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor will, at its own expense, notify any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Omnibus Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.
6. Release. Until all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all Secured Transactions under the Specified Documents have been terminated, the Omnibus Agent may release Collateral from the security interest granted to the Omnibus Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Omnibus Agent agrees that: (a) if the Lender Agent agrees to release its security interest with respect to any of the November Collateral (other than in connection with the termination of November Documents), the Omnibus Agent will also release its security interest on such released Collateral; (b) if GMAC LLC, as Lender under the MSR Loan Agreement agrees to release its security interest with respect to any of the MSR Collateral (other than in connection with the termination of MSR Documents), the Omnibus Agent will also release its security interest on such released MSR Collateral; and (c) if GMAC IM agrees to release its security interest with respect to any of the Derivative Collateral (other than in connection with the termination of the related Derivative Agreement), the Omnibus Agent will also release its security interest on such released Derivative Collateral. Upon any such
17
release, the Omnibus Agent will, at the Grantors’ joint and several expense, deliver to the relevant Grantor, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, such released Collateral held by the Omnibus Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

23
(k) Each Grantor shall take such actions such that its Collateral consisting of Pledged Interests and Pledged Shares at all times shall be duly authorized, validly registered, fully paid and non-assessable, and shall not be registered in violation of the organic documents of the Grantors or the preemptive rights of any Person, if any, or of any agreement by which the Grantors or any Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer is bound.
9. Defaults and Events of Default; Remedies.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Omnibus Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default (in the case of a breach of Section 8(h)) or an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Omnibus Agent may request to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including (i) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, (ii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Collateral in connection with clause (i) above, (iii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Omnibus Agent may request for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Omnibus Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to any of the Collateral, and (iv) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 9 IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL ALL OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL IN CASH AND ALL SECURED TRANSACTIONS HAVE TERMINATED.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to its rights in the foregoing clause (a) and without limiting the generality of such clause, the Omnibus Agent may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the UCC, under any other applicable Requirements of Law and in the clauses (c) through (g) set forth below in this Section 9.
(c) Each Grantor agrees, at the Omnibus Agent’s request if a Default has occurred and is continuing, to assemble, at its expense, all its Inventory and other Goods (other than Fixtures) constituting Collateral and all records for all Collateral at a convenient place or places acceptable to the Omnibus Agent.
(d) Notice of the intended disposition of any Collateral may be given by first-class mail, hand-delivery (through a delivery service or otherwise), facsimile or E-mail, and shall be deemed to have been “sent” upon deposit in the U.S. mails with adequate postage properly affixed, upon delivery to an express delivery service, upon the electronic submission through telephonic services or, if by facsimile transmission, when sent against mechanical confirmation of successful transmission, as applicable. Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) with respect to Collateral that is (A) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or (B) is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, no notice of disposition need be given; and (ii) with respect to Collateral not described in clause (i) above, notification sent after default and at least ten days before any proposed disposition provides notice within a reasonable time before disposition.
24
(e) Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that a commercially reasonable disposition (i) made in the usual manner on any recognized market, (ii) at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition or (iii) in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition shall, in each case, be deemed commercially reasonable.
(f) Any cash proceeds of any disposition by the Omnibus Agent of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Omnibus Agent, first, to payment of the Omnibus Agent’s expenses in connection with the Collateral, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, and thereafter to the payment of any and all of the Obligations in such order of application as the Omnibus Agent may from time to time direct, and thereafter any surplus will be paid to the applicable Grantor or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. Neither the Omnibus Agent nor any other Secured Party need apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of collection and enforcement unless (i) the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable and (ii) the applicable Grantor has provided the Omnibus Agent with a written demand to apply or pay over such noncash proceeds on such basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Omnibus Agent arising out of the exercise by the Omnibus Agent of any rights hereunder.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Omnibus Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, (or, if notice cannot be waived under the UCC, as required to be provided by the UCC) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Omnibus Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Omnibus Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Omnibus Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Omnibus Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(i) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Omnibus Agent may transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Omnibus Agent or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the lien and security interest hereunder, notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Omnibus Agent of any amount due or to become due thereunder, enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto, endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral, take control of any proceeds of the Collateral, and execute (in the name, place and stead of each Grantor) endorsements, assignments, transfer powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
25
(j) Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Omnibus Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Requirements of Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and each Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Omnibus Agent be liable nor accountable to the Grantors for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. The Omnibus Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties or representations as to the Collateral. The Omnibus Agent may disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
10. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, neither the Omnibus Agent nor any other Secured Party will have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Omnibus Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Omnibus Agent in good faith or by reason of any act or omission by the Omnibus Agent pursuant to instructions from the Omnibus Agent, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Omnibus Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Omnibus Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Omnibus Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Omnibus Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a
26
specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including, without limitation, any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Omnibus Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral, or to provide to the Omnibus Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Omnibus Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Omnibus Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Omnibus Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Omnibus Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being specifically referred to in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any right to a Grantor or to impose any duties on the Omnibus Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section.
11. Appointment of Omnibus Agent; Special Provisions Relating to the Omnibus Agent. Each Secured Party hereby appoints GMAC LLC and its successors as its representative to hold Collateral and otherwise to perform the role of Omnibus Agent hereunder, subject to the terms hereof (including without limitation Section 10 and this Section 11). Each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Omnibus Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to the Omnibus Agent hereunder. The Omnibus Agent shall be granted the following rights, powers, obligations and duties under this Agreement, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
(a) All indemnities to be paid under this Agreement shall be payable immediately when due in U.S. dollars (“Dollars”) in the full amount due, without deduction for any variation in any Rate of Exchange (as defined below). The Grantors hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify the Omnibus Agent against any losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred by the Omnibus Agent as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for the amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the dollar amount is converted into Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the Rate of Exchange at which the Omnibus Agent is then able to purchase Dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Omnibus Agent. The indemnity set forth in this paragraph shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Grantors and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “Rate of Exchange” means the rate at which the Omnibus Agent is able to purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency on the foreign exchange market on the relevant date and shall include any premiums and other reasonable
27
costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase or, or conversion into, the relevant currency. The indemnification set forth in this Section 11 shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy and the resignation or removal of the Omnibus Agent.
(b) The Omnibus Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Specified Document by or through agents, experts or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Omnibus Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, experts or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.
(c) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof and except as otherwise specifically stated in this Agreement or any other Specified Document, the Omnibus Agent shall have no duty as to any of the Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
(d) The Omnibus Agent shall be authorized to but shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or monitoring or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. It is expressly agreed, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, that the Omnibus Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral or (ii) taking any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral, but, in each case (A) subject to the requirement that the Omnibus Agent may not act or omit to take any action if such act or omission would constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and (B) the Omnibus Agent may do so and all expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations.
(e) The Omnibus Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Omnibus Agent in good faith, except to the extent of the Omnibus Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(f) The Omnibus Agent shall not be responsible for, nor incur any liability with respect to, (i) the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the security interest in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under this Agreement or any other Specified Document, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Omnibus Agent, (ii) the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, (iii) the validity of the title of the Grantors to the Collateral, (iv) insuring the Collateral or (v) the payment of taxes, charges or assessments upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Specified Document to the contrary, (i) in no event shall the Omnibus Agent or any officer, director,
28
employee, representative or agent of the Omnibus Agent be liable under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Specified Document for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits or loss of opportunity, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Omnibus Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought; and (ii) the Omnibus Agent shall be afforded all of the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities set forth in this Agreement in all of the Specified Documents to which it is a signatory as if such rights, powers, immunities and indemnities were specifically set out in each such Specified Document. In no event shall the Omnibus Agent be obligated to invest any amounts received by it hereunder.
(h) The Omnibus Agent shall be entitled conclusively to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, request, direction, certificate, notice, consent, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, email, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and/or upon advice and/or statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Omnibus Agent and need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document. Any such statement of legal counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in accordance therewith.
(i) Notwithstanding that the Omnibus Agent is appointed by and acting for and at the direction of the Secured Parties, the Grantors will jointly and severally pay upon demand to the Omnibus Agent the amount of any and all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel, that the Omnibus Agent may incur in connection with (i) the negotiation, performance or administration of this Agreement and the Specified Documents to which it is a party, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any of the rights of the Omnibus Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or under the Specified Documents or (iv) the failure by the Grantors to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof or of any of the Specified Documents. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and resignation or removal of the Omnibus Agent. The expenses of the Omnibus Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 11 shall be payable jointly and severally by the Grantors to the Omnibus Agent upon demand therefore (which demand shall be accompanied by an appropriate invoice).
(j) The Grantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify each of the Omnibus Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Specified Documents; provided that the Grantors shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
29
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent that any of the foregoing result from any such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction beyond all applicable appeals.
(k) Neither the Omnibus Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the 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 the Grantors or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Omnibus Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Omnibus Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Omnibus Agent to exercise any such powers. The Omnibus Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(l) Pursuant to any applicable law, the Grantors authorize the Omnibus Agent without obligation to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signatures of the Grantors in such form and in such offices as the Omnibus Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Omnibus Agent under this Agreement. The Grantors hereby ratify and authorize the filing by the Omnibus Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Omnibus Agent have any duty or obligation to monitor the perfection, continuation of perfection or the sufficiency or validity of any security interest in or related to the Collateral or to prepare or file any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement or continuation statement.
(m) Any corporation into which the Omnibus Agent may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Omnibus Agent shall be a party, shall become a Omnibus Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.
(a) The Omnibus Agent hereby appoints as its agent (i) GMAC LLC, as Lender under the MSR Loan Agreement, to hold any MSR Collateral which constitutes Account Collateral, Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property, and GMAC LLC hereby accepts such appointment; (ii) GMAC IM, to hold any Derivative Collateral which constitutes Account Collateral, Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property, and GMAC IM hereby accepts such appointment; and (iii) the Lender Agent, to hold any other Collateral which constitutes Account Collateral, Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property, and the Lender Agent accepts such appointment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that each such agent shall hold any Account Collateral, Bailment Collateral and Pledged Property in its possession for the benefit of the Omnibus Agent.
30
(b) Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, unless a Grantor is otherwise directed by the Omnibus Agent, that the compliance by such Grantor (i) with the provisions of the MSR Documents relating to any MSR Collateral which constitutes Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property shall constitute compliance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof with respect to the delivery of such Collateral, (ii) with the provisions of the Derivative Documents relating to any Derivative Collateral which constitutes Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property shall constitute compliance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof with respect to the delivery of such Collateral and (iii) with the provisions of the November Documents relating to any Collateral (other than any MSR Collateral or Derivative Collateral) which constitutes Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property shall constitute compliance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof with respect to the delivery of such Collateral.
(c) GMAC, as Lender under the MSR Loan Documents, hereby appoints the Omnibus Agent to hold any MSR Collateral which constitutes Account Collateral, Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property, and the Omnibus Agent hereby accepts such appointment. GMAC IM hereby appoints the Omnibus Agent as its agent to hold any Derivative Collateral which constitutes Account Collateral, Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property, and the Omnibus Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Lender Agent hereby appoints the Omnibus Agent to hold any Collateral (other than any MSR Collateral or Derivative Collateral) which constitutes Account Collateral, Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property, and the Omnibus Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the delivery by a Grantor of any Collateral which constitutes Bailment Collateral or Pledged Property to the Omnibus Agent in accordance with the Omnibus Agent’s direction and the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed compliance with any delivery provisions of any other applicable Specified Document.
(d) The Omnibus Agent hereby agrees that the prior delivery by the Grantors to the Lender Agent of the Bailment Collateral listed on Schedule V hereto shall satisfy the obligation of the Grantors to deliver such Collateral to the Omnibus Agent hereunder, including for purposes of the representation contained in Section 3(a)(viii).
13. Legal Opinions. The Grantors hereby agree to deliver, on the date hereof, such opinions of counsel as are requested by the Omnibus Agent and the Lender Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Omnibus Agent and the Lender Agent.
14. General.
(a) If either (i) at the option of the relevant Grantor or as required pursuant to the Specified Documents, a Grantor shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, or (ii) a Person who is not a Grantor elects or agrees to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary or Person shall execute and deliver to the Omnibus Agent a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Schedule VII with such other changes as may be acceptable to the Omnibus Agent (each a “Joinder Agreement”) and shall
31
thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date. In addition, to the extent that any Grantor delivers or pledges (or intends to deliver or pledge) Collateral that has not theretofore been delivered or pledged hereunder, such Grantor shall deliver or caused to be delivered to the Omnibus Agent a notice in the form attached hereto as Schedule VIII. Upon the request of the Omnibus Agent, the Grantors agree to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Omnibus Agent, opinions of external and/or in-house counsel for the relevant Grantor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Omnibus Agent and at the Grantors’ joint and several expense, in connection with any such Joinder Agreement or additional provision of collateral.
(b) Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement is sufficient as a financing statement. The Grantors hereby ratify their authorization contained in Section 7(a)(i) for the Omnibus Agent to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction prior to the date hereof any financing statement or amendment thereto filed prior to the date hereof.
(c) All notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or electronic mail) and shall be sent, in the case of any Grantor, to the address of such Grantor shown on Schedule VI hereto and, in the case of the Omnibus Agent, at its address set forth on Schedule VI, or to such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission or e-mail shall be deemed to have been given when sent against mechanical confirmation of successful transmission; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier shall be deemed to have been given when received.
(d) Each of the Grantors agrees to pay, jointly and severally, all fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by the Omnibus Agent in endeavoring to collect all or any portion of the Obligations of any Grantor and in enforcing this Agreement against any Grantor, and all such fees and expenses shall constitute Obligations.
(e) No delay on the part of the Omnibus Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Omnibus Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
(f) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all Secured Transactions have terminated. If at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Omnibus Agent or any Secured Party to any of the Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned by the Omnibus Agent or such Secured Party for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor), such Obligations shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Omnibus Agent or
32
such Secured Party, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligations, all as though such application by the Omnibus Agent or such Secured Party had not been made.
(g) Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Requirements of Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any action or proceeding is brought in whatever form and in whatever forum seeking to invalidate any Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement under any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer theory, or similar avoidance theory, whether under state or federal law, such Grantor (the “Affected Person”), automatically and without any further action being required of such Affected Person or any Secured Party, shall be liable under this Agreement only for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that could have been incurred under applicable law by such Affected Person under any pledge to secure the Obligations (or any portion thereof) at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, if such date is determined not to be the appropriate date for determining the enforceability of such Affected Person’s obligations hereunder for fraudulent conveyance or transfer (or similar avoidance) purposes, on the date determined to be so appropriate) without rendering such a hypothetical pledge voidable under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or any other grounds for avoidance (such highest amount determined hereunder being any such Affected Person’s “Maximum Amount”), and not for any greater amount, as if the stated amount of this Pledge Agreement as to such Affected Person had instead been the Maximum Amount. This paragraph is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties under this Agreement to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law, and neither any Affected Person nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to the limitation described in this Agreement, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Affected Person under this Agreement shall not be rendered voidable under applicable Requirements of Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the determination of a Maximum Amount for any Affected Person pursuant to the provisions of the second preceding sentence of this Section shall not in any manner reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of any other Grantor (including any other Affected Person) under the provisions of this Agreement.
(h) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all Secured Transactions shall have terminated, (b) be binding upon each Grantor and its successors, transferees and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Omnibus Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Omnibus Agent and each other Secured Party and its respective successors, transferees and assigns. No Grantor may assign (unless otherwise permitted under the terms of the Specified Documents) any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Omnibus Agent.
33
(i) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Omnibus Agent a counterpart of this Agreement together with supplements to the Schedules hereto setting forth all relevant information with respect to such party as of the date of such delivery. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all the terms of, this Agreement.
(j) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (BUT WITH REFERENCE TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH BY ITS TERMS APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT).
(k) EACH PARTY HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS NO RIGHT TO IMMUNITY FROM THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OR JURISDICTION OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF ANY COMPETENT COURT OR FROM EXECUTION OF ANY JUDGMENT OR FROM THE EXECUTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREIN OF ANY ARBITRATION DECISION IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR ANY OTHER MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY IS OR BECOMES ENTITLED TO ANY SUCH IMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OR JURISDICTION OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF ANY COMPETENT COURT, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IT DOES HEREBY AND WILL IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM ANY SUCH IMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO ITS OBLIGATIONS OR ANY OTHER MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(l) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH
34
