PLEDGE OF SECURITIES
SECTION 3.01. Pledge.
(a) As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations, each Grantor hereby assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under: (i)(x) the shares of capital stock and other Equity Interests owned by it including those listed on Schedule II, (y) any other Equity Interests obtained in the future by such Grantor and (z) the certificates representing all such Equity Interests (collectively, the “Pledged Equity Interests”); (ii)(x) the debt securities owned by it, including those listed opposite the name of such Grantor on Schedule II, (y) any debt securities in the future issued to such Grantor and (z) the promissory notes and any other instruments
-8-
evidencing all such debt securities (the “Pledged Debt Securities”); (iii) all other property that may be delivered to and held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.01(a); (iv) subject to Section 3.06, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other Proceeds received in respect of, the securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above; (v) subject to Section 3.06, all rights and privileges of such Grantor with respect to the securities and other property referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above; and (vi) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) above being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”)
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the capital stock and securities of any Guarantor will constitute Pledged Collateral (or Article 9 Collateral, as the case may be) with respect to the Notes only to the extent that the securing of the Notes Obligations with such capital stock and securities would not require such Guarantor to file separate financial statements with the SEC under Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. Subject to 3.01(d), in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requires or is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation that would require) the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of any Guarantor due to the fact that such Guarantor’s capital stock and securities secure the Notes Obligations, then the capital stock and securities of such Guarantor shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Pledged Collateral and, to the extent previously delivered to the Collateral Agent, the certificates evidencing all such capital stock and securities shall be returned to such Guarantor (but only to the extent necessary for such Guarantor to not be subject to such requirement to provide separate financial statements) and such excluded portion of the capital stock and securities is referred to as the “Excluded Stock Collateral”. In such event, the Security Documents may be amended, modified or supplemented, without the consent of any Secured Party, to the extent necessary to release the security interests on the Excluded Stock Collateral. In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation that would permit) any Guarantor’s Excluded Stock Collateral to secure the Notes Obligations in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of such Guarantor, then the capital stock and securities of such Guarantor shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Pledged Collateral (but only to the extent possible without such Guarantor becoming subject to any such filing requirement). In such event, the Security Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Secured Party, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Security Documents such additional capital stock and securities.
(c) In addition, Pledged Collateral shall not include (and no security interest shall be granted in) (1) the Equity Interests in Partners Insurance Company, a Hawaii corporation and (2) any right, title or interest in or under any capital stock or other Equity Interests in any Persons that are bona fide joint ventures with third parties to the extent, but only to the extent, that such a grant is expressly prohibited by the organizational documents governing such Person.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has occurred, any Pledged Collateral (or Article 9 Collateral, as the case may be) that would otherwise become Excluded Stock Collateral pursuant to
-9-
Section 3.01(b) shall remain Pledged Collateral (or Article 9 Collateral, as the case may be) granted hereunder to secure the Revolving Facility Obligations.
SECTION 3.02. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral.
(a) Each Grantor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent any and all Pledged Securities.
(b) Each Grantor will (i) cause any Indebtedness that is owing to any Credit Party by another Credit Party to be evidenced by an intercompany note (the “Intercompany Note”) and (ii) in respect of any Indebtedness for borrowed money owed to such Grantor by any Person that is evidenced by a promissory note, pledge and deliver such promissory note to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, (i) any certificated Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral shall be accompanied by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by the applicable Grantor and such other instruments or documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule II and made a part hereof, provided that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged Securities. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.
SECTION 3.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Grantors jointly and severally represent, warrant and covenant to and with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:
(a) Schedule II correctly sets forth, as of the date hereof, the percentage of the issued and outstanding units of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer thereof represented by the Pledged Equity Interests and includes all Equity Interests, debt securities and promissory notes required to be pledged hereunder on the date hereof;
(b) the Pledged Equity Interests and Pledged Debt Securities have been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuers thereof and (i) in the case of Pledged Equity Interests, are fully paid and nonassessable (except for such assessments and capital contributions as are required in connection with the organizational documents of any Person that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary and whose Equity Interests constitute Pledged Equity Interests) and (ii) in the case of Pledged Debt Securities, are legal, valid and binding obligations of the issuers thereof; provided that, with respect to bona fide joint ventures with third parties, the representations made in this paragraph (b) must only be true and correct to the extent the Grantors have knowledge thereof;
(c) except for the security interests granted hereunder, each of the Grantors (i) is and will continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of record, of the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule II as owned by such Grantor except to the extent such Grantor

(d) except for restrictions and limitations imposed by the Note Documents and the Revolving Facility Documents or securities laws generally, the Pledged Collateral is and will continue to be freely transferable and assignable, and none of the Pledged Collateral is or will be subject to any option, right of first refusal, shareholders agreement, charter, by-law or other organizational document provisions or contractual restriction of any nature that might reasonably be expected to prohibit, impair, delay or otherwise affect the pledge of such Pledged Collateral hereunder, the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of rights and remedies hereunder;
(e) each of the Grantors has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated;
(f) no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, any securities exchange or any other Person was or is necessary to the validity of the pledge effected hereby (other than such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect);
(g) by virtue of the execution and delivery by the Grantors of this Agreement, when any Pledged Securities are delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement, the Collateral Agent will obtain a legal, valid and perfected lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Securities as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, prior to all other liens and security interests created and perfected by a method other than by control under Article 9 of the New York UCC; and
(h) the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral as set forth herein.
SECTION 3.04. Certification of Limited Liability Company and Limited Partnership Interests. Each Grantor agrees that interests in any wholly owned limited liability company or limited partnership owned by such Grantor and pledged hereunder shall be represented by a certificate, shall be a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC and shall be governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) to the extent each interest in any non-wholly owned limited liability company or limited partnership controlled now or in the future by such Grantor and pledged hereunder is a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC and is governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC, such interest shall be certificated and (ii) each such
-11-
interest shall at all times hereafter continue to be such a security and represented by such certificate. Each Grantor further acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any interest in any non-wholly owned limited liability company or limited partnership controlled now or in the future by such Grantor and pledged hereunder that is not a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC, such Grantor shall at no time elect to treat any such interest as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC, nor shall such interest be represented by a certificate, unless such Grantor provides prior written notification to the Collateral Agent of such election and such interest is thereafter represented by a certificate that is promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.
SECTION 3.05. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities (i) in its own name as pledgee, (ii) the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or (iii) the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent; provided that, in the case of clause (ii), an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Grantor. The Collateral Agent shall at all times have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.
SECTION 3.06. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest.
(a) Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Grantors that their rights under this Section 3.06 are being suspended:
(i) each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Note Documents and the Revolving Facility Documents, provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Collateral or the rights and remedies of any of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or the Note Documents and the Revolving Facility Documents or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same;
(ii) the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above;
(iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and
-12-
otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Note Documents and the Revolving Facility Documents and applicable laws, provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Grantors of the suspension of their rights under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06, then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Issuers have delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate to that effect, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06 and that remain in such account.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Grantors of the suspension of their rights under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 3.06, then all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 3.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 3.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers, provided that, unless otherwise directed by requisite party pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights.
-13-
(d) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Grantors suspending their rights under paragraph (a) of this Section 3.06 (i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, (ii) may be given to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s right to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Each Grantor agrees to promptly provide such information to the Collateral Agent.
Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.
The Collateral Agent is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party.
-16-
(c) The Security Interest and the security interest granted pursuant to Article III are granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.
SECTION 4.02. Representations and Warranties. The Grantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that:

Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made (or provisions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or Applicable Authorized Representative to make such filings prior to the lapse of the perfected security interest granted herein shall have been made) under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest, having the priority required by this Agreement, in all the Article 9 Collateral. Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if (i) any material portion of the Article 9 Collateral owned or held by such Grantor is damaged, destroyed, or subject to condemnation and (ii) such Article 9 Collateral is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors as a whole.
(b) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 4.19(a) of the Indenture and Section 6.1 of the Revolving Facility Agreement, the Issuers shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate executed by the chief financial officer and the chief legal officer of the Issuers (i) setting forth the information required pursuant to the Perfection Certificate or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) and (ii) certifying that all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings recordings or registrations, including all refilings, rerecordings and registrations, containing a description of the Collateral have been filed of record in each governmental, municipal or other appropriate office in each jurisdiction identified pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4.03 to the extent necessary to protect and perfect the Security Interest for a period of not less than 18 months after the date of such certificate (except as noted therein with respect to any continuation statements to be filed within such period).

(c) Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not permitted pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Indenture and Section 6.17 of the Revolving Facility Agreement.
(d) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly
-19-
pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, with prompt notice thereof to the Grantors, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule III or adding additional schedules hereto to identify specifically any asset or item that may constitute Copyrights, exclusive Licenses, Patents or Trademarks, provided that any Grantor shall have the right, exercisable within 10 days after it has been notified by the Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral, to advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by such Grantor hereunder with respect to such Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be necessary in order that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct with respect to such Collateral within 30 days after the date it has been notified by the Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral.
(e) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and such Persons as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate shall have the right, at the Grantors’ own cost and expense, to inspect the Article 9 Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from such records) and the premises upon which any of the Article 9 Collateral is located, to discuss the Grantors’ affairs with the officers of the Grantors and their independent accountants and to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third party, by contacting Account Debtors or the third party possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification; provided that, in the event such Event of Default has been cured in accordance with the Revolving Facility Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable, (i) the Company shall notify the Collateral Agent of the date of such cure and (ii) the Collateral Agent may only exercise the rights provided in this paragraph (e) for a period of 90 days following such cure. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.
(f) At its option following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Indenture and Section 6.17 of the Revolving Facility Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture, the Revolving Facility Agreement or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein, in the Note Documents or in the Revolving Facility Documents.
-20-
(g) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent. Such assignment need not be documented or filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.
(h) Each Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.
(i) None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Article 9 Collateral, except as permitted by the Indenture and the Revolving Facility Agreement. None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Article 9 Collateral and each Grantor shall remain at all times in possession of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it, except that unless and until the Collateral Agent shall notify the Grantors that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and that during the continuance thereof the Grantors shall not sell, convey, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Article 9 Collateral (which notice may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), the Grantors may use and dispose of the Article 9 Collateral in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Note Documents or the Revolving Facility Documents.
(j) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, none of the Grantors will, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any Accounts included in the Article 9 Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, compromises, settlements, releases, credits or discounts granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practice used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged.
(k) The Grantors, at their own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or damage to the Inventory and Equipment. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the
-21-
Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.
(l) Each Grantor shall maintain, in a manner consistent with the practices of similarly situated companies engaged in the same or similar line of business, records of its Chattel Paper and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto.
(m) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 days, after the Issue Date, the Company and each other Credit Party will deliver all Securities Account Control Agreements that would otherwise have been required to be delivered on the Issue Date.
SECTION 4.04. Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:
(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments or Tangible Chattel Paper, such Grantor shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
(b) Deposit Accounts. For each Deposit Account that any Grantor at any time opens or maintains, such Grantor shall, either (i) cause the depositary bank to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent to such depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of such Grantor or any other Person, pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the customer of the depositary bank with respect to such Deposit Account, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Collateral Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit account. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such instructions or withhold any withdrawal rights from any Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any withdrawal would occur. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any Deposit Account for which any Grantor, the depositary bank and the Collateral Agent have entered into a cash collateral agreement specially negotiated among such Grantor, the depositary bank and the Collateral Agent for the specific purpose set forth therein, (B) Deposit Accounts for which the Collateral Agent is the depositary, (C) segregated Deposit Accounts holding exclusively cash collateral constituting Excluded Property and (D) Excluded Accounts.

accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are held by such Grantor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary in a Securities Account that is not an Excluded Account, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) cause such securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, as the case may be, to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary as to such security entitlements or to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Collateral Agent to such commodity intermediary, as the case may be, in each case without further consent of any Grantor, such nominee, or any other Person, or (ii) in the case of Financial Assets or other Investment Property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such Investment Property, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Collateral Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such Investment Property. The Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, after giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Financial Assets credited to a securities account for which the Collateral Agent is the securities intermediary.
(d) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent control under New York UCC Section 9-105 of such Electronic Chattel Paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the Grantor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
-23-
continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.
(e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be paid to the applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.
(f) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time undertake a Commercial Tort Action, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor, including a summary description of such claim, and grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a first-priority security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance as necessary to perfect the security interest in such Commercial Tort Action.
SECTION 4.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not do any act or omit do to any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent material to the conduct of the businesses of a Grantor may become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to xxxx any products covered by a Patent that is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws.
(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any third party rights.
(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a Copyright material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable copyright laws.
-24-
(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows or has reason to know that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright that is material to the conduct of a Grantor’s business may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its business, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same.
(e) Contemporaneously with the delivery of quarterly financial statements to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.19(a) of the Indenture and to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Revolving Facility Agreement, each Grantor shall (i) notify the Collateral Agent of any application for any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (or for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof since the last such notification (or, in the case of the first quarter following the Issue Date, since the Issue Date), (ii) execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers necessary to evidence the Collateral Agent’s first-priority security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright and (iii) each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.
(f) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each material application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of any Grantor’s business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancelation proceedings against third parties.
(g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of any Grantor’s business has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor promptly shall notify the Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment, promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral.
(h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License under which such Grantor is a licensee to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

ARTICLE V
REMEDIES
SECTION 5.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of tangible Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not
-26-
to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free (if such agreement cannot be reasonably rescinded) to consummate such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
SECTION 5.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral in accordance with the terms specified in Section 2.01 of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event no Intercreditor Agreement is in effect at any time, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all agent’s fees and collateral management fees of the Collateral Agent and all fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Note Document, any other Revolving Facility Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, all amounts payable in respect of Indemnified Liabilities (as defined in the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are matured, payable and owing to the Collateral Agent and its related Indemnified Parties (as defined in the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement), the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder, under any other Note Document or under any other Revolving Facility Document on behalf of any Grantor and
-27-
any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, under any other Note Document or under any other Revolving Facility Document;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Revolving Facility Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Revolving Facility Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);
THIRD, to the payment in full of the Notes Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Notes Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and
FOURTH, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain as a blocked account under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, a restricted deposit account designated as “Xxxx Homes Collateral Account” into which the Collateral Agent may deposit proceeds of Collateral. All amounts at any time held in the Collateral Account shall be beneficially owned by Grantors but shall be held in the name of the Collateral Agent hereunder, as collateral security for the Obligations upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Grantors shall have no right to withdraw, transfer or, except as expressly set forth herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement, otherwise receive any funds deposited into the Collateral Account. Cash held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account shall not be invested by the Collateral Agent but instead shall be maintained as a cash deposit in the Collateral Account pending application thereof as elsewhere provided in this Agreement or in the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder, any interest, if any, earned on deposits of cash in the Collateral Account shall be deposited directly in, and held in, the Collateral Account.
The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain accounts at such banking institutions necessary or appropriate to receive and distribute proceeds in accordance with this Section 5.02, the Security Documents, the Revolving Facility Documents and the Notes Documents.
SECTION 5.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any of the Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license 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. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance
-28-
herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
SECTION 5.04. Securities Act. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION
SECTION 6.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6.03), the Issuers agree that (a) in the event a payment in respect of any obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under the Indenture or the Revolving Facility Agreement, the Issuers shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part any Obligation owed to
-29-
any Secured Party, the Issuers shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.
SECTION 6.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 6.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Obligation or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Issuers as provided in Section 6.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.14, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall (subject to Section 6.03) be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 6.01 to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 6.03. Subordination.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of the Guarantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Issuers or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 6.01 and 6.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to, or to it by, any other Guarantor, either of the Issuers or any other Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.
ARTICLE VII

-30-
SECTION 7.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or Holder in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Revolving Facility Lenders hereunder, under the other Note Documents and under the other Revolving Facility Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Sections 9.01 and 9.02 of the Indenture and Section 8.4 (or other applicable provisions) of the Revolving Facility Agreement.
SECTION 7.03. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Note Documents and the other Revolving Facility Documents, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Secured Parties against, and hold each Secured Party harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Secured Party, incurred by or asserted against any Secured Party by any third party or by any Grantor arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Secured Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Secured Party.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Note Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
-31-
provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
SECTION 7.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 7.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the Note Documents, the Revolving Facility Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other Revolving Facility Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Holders’ and Revolving Facility Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Note Documents, the Revolving Facility Documents and the issuance of the Notes and Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Holder of Participant or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent or any Holder may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Notes are issued under the Indenture or any Letters of Credit are issued under the Revolving Facility Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation is outstanding and unpaid. This Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
SECTION 7.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Indenture or the Revolving Facility Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 7.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
-32-
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7.08. Reserved.
SECTION 7.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b) Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Note Document, any other Revolving Facility Document or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the Grantors hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other Revolving Facility Document shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent or any Holder or Participant may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other Revolving Facility Document against any Grantor or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other Revolving Facility Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.09. Each of the Grantors hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other Revolving Facility Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 7.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER REVOLVING FACILITY DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

(d) With the consent of the requisite Secured Parties in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Indenture and Section 8.3 of the Revolving Facility Agreement including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, Notes, the Security Interest in any Collateral, the release of which is the subject of such consents, shall be automatically released.
(e) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 7.13, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 7.14. Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 4.22 of the Indenture and Section 6.24 of the Revolving Facility Agreement, each Person that becomes a Guarantor under the Indenture or Revolving Facility Agreement after the Issue Date is required to enter into this Agreement (and other applicable Security Documents) as a Grantor upon becoming such a Guarantor. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and such an additional Guarantor of an instrument in the form of Exhibit A hereto, such Guarantor shall become a Grantor under this Agreement (and the other Security Documents specified therein) with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein (and in such other Security Documents). The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder (or under any other Security Document). The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder (and under all other Security Documents) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement (or to other Security Documents).
SECTION 7.15. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided that, unless otherwise provided for herein, such power of attorney may only be exercised upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise
-35-

The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their 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 wilful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.
SECTION 7.16. Intercreditor Agreement Govern. Reference is made to the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Agreement, the Liens created hereby and the rights, remedies, duties and obligations provided for herein are subject in all respects to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.
SECTION 7.17. Joint Obligor/Suretyship Provisions. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees to the following:
(a) For all purposes of enforcing the remedies provided for in the Security Documents, each Credit Party (i) hereby irrevocably appoints each of the other Credit Parties the other as its agent and attorney-in-fact, including the giving and receiving of notices and other communications in accordance with the notice provisions of the Security Documents, and (ii) hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the Secured Parties against, and hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and/or claims of damage or injury asserted against Secured Parties by any Credit Party or by any other Person arising from or incurred by reason of reliance by Secured Parties on any requests or instructions from any Credit Party.
(b) Each Credit Party acknowledges that the Liens created or granted pursuant to the Security Documents will secure Obligations of all Credit Parties under (without limitation) the Note Documents and the Revolving Facility Documents and, in full recognition of that fact, each Credit Party consents and agrees that Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof or of any other Note Document, Revolving Security Document or Security Document (references in
-36-
this Section 7.17 to “Credit Parties” shall mean each Credit Party and all Credit Parties, and to “Secured Parties” shall mean each Secured Party and all Secured Parties):
(1) agree with one or more Credit Parties to supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;
(2) agree with one or more Credit Parties to supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Note Documents, the Revolving Facility Documents or the Security Documents (collectively referred to in this Section 7.17 as the “Credit Documents”), or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;
(3) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Credit Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof;
(4) accept partial payments on the Obligations;
(5) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Obligations or any part thereof;
(6) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and enforce any security for or guaranties of the Obligations, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Secured Parties in their sole and absolute discretion may determine;
(7) release any obligor, any guarantor, any indemnitor or any other Person from any personal liability with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof;
(8) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Secured Parties or by operation of applicable laws, or otherwise liquidate or enforce in any manner any Obligations and any security therefor or guaranty thereof, and consent to the transfer of any such security and bid and purchase at any sale; and
(9) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the legal existence of any Credit Party or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the obligations of such Credit Party or other Person, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Credit Party or the continuing existence of any lien or security interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document to which any Credit Party is a party or the enforceability hereof or thereof with respect to all or any part of the Obligations.
-37-
(c) Upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Secured Parties may enforce this Agreement and the other Credit Documents independently as to each Credit Party and independently of any other remedy or security that Secured Parties at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and in collecting on the Obligations it shall not be necessary for Secured Parties to marshal assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each Credit Party expressly waives any right to require Secured Parties, in connection with Secured Parties’ efforts to obtain repayment of the Obligations, to marshal assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any Collateral provided by any other Person, and agrees that Secured Parties may proceed against any Persons and/or Collateral in such order as they shall determine in their sole and absolute discretion in connection with Secured Parties’ efforts to obtain repayment of the Obligations. Secured Parties may file a separate action or actions against each Credit Party to enforce the Obligations, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Credit Party agrees that Secured Parties, each Credit Party and/or any other Person may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. The rights of Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Secured Parties as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Credit Party or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The enforceability of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents at all times shall remain effective as to each Credit Party even though any or all of the Obligations, or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any other Credit Party or any other Person and whether or not any other Credit Party or any other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. Each Credit Party expressly waives any and all defenses to the enforcement of its obligations under the Credit Documents now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of any other Credit Party or any other Person with respect to the Obligations, (b) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations, (c) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Credit Party or any other Person (other than by reason of the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations), (d) any failure of Secured Parties to marshal assets in favor of any of Credit Parties or any other Person, (e) any failure of Secured Parties to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations to any other Credit Party or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given to any other Credit Party or any other Person in connection with any such sale or disposition, (f) any failure of Secured Parties to comply in any non-material respect with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for the Obligations, (g) any act or omission of Secured Parties or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any other Credit Party or of any other Person or any security or guaranty for the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise, (h)
-38-
any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (i) any failure of Secured Parties to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any other Credit Party or any other Person, (j) the election by Secured Parties, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any other Credit Party or any other Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (k) any extension of credit to or the grant of any lien by any other Credit Party or any other Person under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, (l) any use of cash Collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in any bankruptcy proceeding of any other Credit Party or any other Person, (m) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any other Credit Party or any other Person, (n) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Secured Parties securing the Obligations for any reason, or (o) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any other Credit Party any other Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding.
(d) Credit Parties represent and warrant to Secured Parties that they have established adequate means of obtaining from each other, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to their respective businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) and their respective properties, and each now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the others and their respective properties. Each Credit Party hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Secured Parties to disclose to such Credit Party any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any other Credit Party or any other Credit Party’s properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Secured Parties during the life of this Agreement. With respect to any of the obligations of Credit Parties under the Credit Documents, Secured Parties need not inquire into the powers of any Credit Party or the officers, employees or other Persons acting or purporting to act on such Credit Party’s behalf.
(e) Without limiting the foregoing, or anything else contained in this Agreement, each Credit Party waives all rights and defenses that it may have because any or all of the Obligations are secured by real property security provided by any other Credit Party. This means, among other things:
(1) Secured Parties may collect on the Obligations from one Credit Party without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by any other Credit Party; and
(2) If Secured Parties foreclose on any real property Collateral pledged by any Credit Party for the Obligations: (i) the amount of the indebtedness owed by the other Credit Parties may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (ii) Secured Parties may collect from any Credit Party even if Secured Parties, by foreclosing on the real property
-39-
Collateral, have destroyed any right that any Credit Party may have to collect from the other Credit Parties.
This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Credit Party may have because any or all of the Obligations are secured by real property given by any other Credit Party. Each Credit Party expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real property Collateral provided by any other Credit Party to secure the Obligations, and failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect such Credit Party’s obligations hereunder or the enforceability of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any liens created or granted hereby or thereby.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Credit Document to which any Credit Party is a party, with respect to the Obligations, until the Obligations are paid and performed in full, each Credit Party hereby waives with respect to all other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other Person, any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker and which each of them may have or hereafter acquire against any other Credit Party or any other Person in connection with or as a result of such Credit Party’s execution, delivery and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document to which it is a party. Each Credit Party agrees that it shall not have or assert any such rights against any other Credit Party or any other Credit Party’s successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against such Credit Party by any other Credit Party (as borrower or in any other capacity) or any other Person until the Obligations are paid and performed in full. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect any Credit Party’s liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to which it is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.
(g) Each Credit Party warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth in this Section 7.17 is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which each otherwise may have against the others, against Secured Parties or other Persons, or against any Collateral. If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

A. Reference is made to: (i) the Indenture dated as of May 10, 2011 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors from time to time a party thereto and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”); (ii) the Credit Agreement dated as of February __, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Revolving Facility Agreement”) by and among the Company, Administrative Agent and the “Lenders” from time to time a party thereto (the “Revolving Facility Lenders”); (iii) the Guaranty dated as of February __, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Revolving Facility Guaranty”) made by the Guarantors from time to time a party thereto in favor of Administrative Agent and the Revolving Facility Lenders; (iv) the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement dated as of February __, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), by and among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Company, the Corporate Issuer, the Trustee and the other parties from time to time a party thereto; and (v) the Amended and Restated Real Property Collateral Management Agreement dated as of February __, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Real Property Collateral Management Agreement”) by and among the Collateral Agent, the Company, the Corporate Issuer, and the other Grantors from time to time a party thereto.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Indenture, the Revolving Facility Agreement and the Security Agreement, as applicable.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement, the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement and other Security Documents in consideration of the
EXHIBIT A
-1-
Secured Parties extending to the Credit Parties credit facilities now or hereafter existing pursuant to the Note Documents and the Revolving Facility Documents. Section 4.22 of the Indenture and Section 6.24 of the Revolving Facility Agreement provide that additional Subsidiaries of the Company may become Guarantors under the Indenture and the Revolving Facility Guaranty in the manner provided therein, and such Guarantors are also required to become a party to the Security Agreement, the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement and any other Security Documents to which Guarantors are required to be a party, by the execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture, the Revolving Facility Agreement and the Security Agreement in consideration of the Secured Parties extending to the Credit Parties credit facilities now or hereafter existing pursuant to the Note Documents and the Revolving Facility Documents.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.14 of the Security Agreement, the New Guarantor by its signature below, becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement, the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement, and [insert name and date of any other Security Document to which Guarantor needs to be added] (collectively, the “Assumed Documents”), with the same force and effect as if originally named in the Assumed Documents as a Grantor and Guarantor, and the New Guarantor hereby (a) assumes and agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Assumed Documents applicable to it as a Grantor and Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor and Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Guarantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all the New Guarantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Guarantor. Each reference to a “Guarantor” or “Grantor” in the Assumed Documents shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The Assumed Documents are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Guarantor and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a schedule with the true and correct legal name of the New
EXHIBIT A
-2-
Guarantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office, (b) set forth on Schedule II attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of all the Pledged Securities of the New Guarantor and (c) set forth on Schedule III attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of Intellectual Property consisting of Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks of the New Guarantor.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Security Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Guarantor and the Collateral Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the Security Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
