SECURITY AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.2
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of October 14, 2010, by and among JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as agent for itself and the other Secured Parties (as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement defined below) (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Agent”); Vishay Precision Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Borrower”); and Vishay Measurements Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Vishay Transducers Ltd., a Delaware corporation, Vishay BLH, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Vishay Precision Foil, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with their successors and permitted assigns, collectively and jointly and severally, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”, and together with the Borrower and any Person that becomes an Additional Grantor pursuant to Section 4(p) below and together with their successors and assigns, collectively and jointly and severally, the “Grantors”).
Background
The Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented and/or replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to extend credit to the Borrower on the terms and conditions described therein. The Borrower may, among other things, use the proceeds of the loans thereunder to extend credit to, and make capital contributions in, the Subsidiary Guarantors. Therefore, as a result of the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guarantors can obtain capital on terms more favorable to them as part of this borrowing group than they could acting alone. The Subsidiary Guarantors have guaranteed the obligations of the Borrower arising out of the Credit Agreement and related agreements and instruments.
One of the conditions to the obligations of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement is that payment shall be secured by, among other things, a security interest in favor of the Agent and the other Secured Parties in the Collateral (as defined below). In order to induce the Lenders to extend the credit to the Borrower, the Grantors are willing to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the Collateral.
Accordingly, each Grantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees with the Agent as follows:

THE RIGHTS OF THE AGENT HEREUNDER AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GRANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, RECOUPMENT OR DEFENSE BASED UPON ANY CLAIM THAT ANY GRANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY SECURED PARTY AND SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT UNTIL FULL SATISFACTION OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS AFTER OR CONCURRENT WITH THE TERMINATION OF ANY COMMITMENT OF THE SECURED PARTIES TO MAKE FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS TO THE BORROWER PURSUANT TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT SUCH RIGHTS OF THE AGENT AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE GRANTOS SHALL BE REINSTATED IF AT ANY TIME ANY PAYMENT OF ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS IS RESCINDED OR MUST OTHERWISE BE RETURNED BY THE AGENT UPON THE INSOLVENCY, BANKRUPTCY OR REORGANIZATION OF THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER GRANTOR OR OTHERWISE, ALL AS THOUGH SUCH PAYMENT HAD NOT BEEN MADE. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Grantors shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by any circumstance or condition (whether or not the applicable Grantor shall have any notice or knowledge thereof) including, without limitation, any amendment or modification of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any Notes or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, increasing the amount or extending the maturity of the Secured Obligations); any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such agreements or instruments, or any exercise or failure to exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any such agreements or instruments, or any exercise or failure to exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any such agreements or instruments; any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any term hereof or of the Credit Agreement, any Notes or any other Loan Document; any failure on the part of Borrower or any other Person for any reason to perform or comply with any term of the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document; any furnishing or acceptance of any additional security or guaranty; any release of any Grantor or any other Person or any release of any or all security or any or all guarantees for the Secured Obligations, whether any such release is granted in connection with a bankruptcy or otherwise;
12
any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to any Grantor or any other Person or their respective properties or creditors; the application of payments received by the Agent or any other Secured Party from any source that were lawfully used for some other purpose, which lawfully could have been applied to the payment, in full or in part, of the Secured Obligations; or any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time that the Credit Agreement is amended to increase the amount of the Obligations thereunder, the amount of the Secured Obligations shall be accordingly increased.
(b) No Duty To Marshal Assets. The Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Grantor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations.
(c) Waiver of Right of Subrogation, Etc. Each Grantor hereby waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnity whatsoever in respect of such Grantor arising out of remedies exercised by the Agent hereunder until full payment of the Secured Obligations and the termination of any commitment of the Secured Parties to make financial accommodations to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
(d) Other Waivers. Each Grantor hereby waives promptness, diligence and notice of acceptance of this Agreement. In connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Grantor waives any right of redemption or equity of redemption in the Collateral. Each Grantor further waives presentment and demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations, protest and notice of protest, dishonor and notice of dishonor or notice of default or any other similar notice with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, and all other similar notices to which any Grantor might otherwise be entitled, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents. The Agent is under no obligation to pursue any rights against third parties with respect to the Secured Obligations and each Grantor hereby waives any right it may have to require otherwise. Each Grantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) covenants that it shall not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner claim or take the benefit of, any stay, valuation, appraisal or redemption now or at any time hereafter in force that, but for this waiver, might be applicable to any sale made under any judgment, order or decree based on this Agreement; and each Grantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all benefit of any and all such laws and hereby covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power in this Agreement delegated to the Agent, but that it will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.
(e) Each Grantor further waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right it may have under the constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (or under the constitution of any other state in which any of the Collateral or any Grantor may be located), or under the Constitution of the United States of America, to notice (except for notice specifically required hereby) or to a judicial hearing prior to the exercise of any right or remedy provided by this Agreement to the Agent, and waives its rights, if any, to set aside or invalidate any sale duly consummated in accordance with the foregoing provisions hereof on the grounds (if such be the case) that the sale was consummated without a prior judicial hearing.
13
(f) EACH GRANTOR’S WAIVERS UNDER THIS SECTION 6 HAVE BEEN MADE VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY AND AFTER SUCH GRANTOR HAS BEEN APPRISED AND COUNSELED BY ITS ATTORNEY AS TO THE NATURE THEREOF AND ITS POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS.
7. NO IMPLIED WAIVERS. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the Grantor, on the one hand, and the Agent or the Secured Parties, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents precludes any other or further exercise of any such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Agent or the Secured Parties would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle the Grantors to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or shall constitute a waiver of the right of the Agent or the Secured Parties to take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Any waiver that is given shall be effective only if in writing and only for the limited purposes expressly stated in the applicable waiver.
8. STANDARD OF CARE.
(a) In General. No act or omission of the Agent or any Secured Party (or agent or employee of any of the foregoing) shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of any Grantor or any claim or action against the Agent or such Secured Party (or agent or employee thereof), in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Secured Party (or agent or employee thereof) as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords to other Collateral it holds, it being understood that it has no duty to take any action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral or to preserve any rights of any parties and shall only be liable for losses which are a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) No Duty to Preserve Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent has no duty (either before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral.
(c) No Duty to Prepare for Sale. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent has no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
(d) Duties Relative to Contracts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by such Grantor thereunder. The Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent of any payment relating to any of the
14
Collateral, nor shall the Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent may be entitled at any time or times.
(e) Reliance on Advice of Counsel. In taking any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel of Agent’s choice and shall be fully protected in acting on such advice whether or not the advice rendered is ultimately determined to have been accurate.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Agent may assign or transfer this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of any Grantor and without prior notice. No Grantor shall assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent or as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there should be any assignment of any rights or obligations by operation of law or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, then all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein or pursuant hereto by or on behalf of any Grantor shall bind the successors and assigns of such Grantor, jointly and severally (if applicable), together with the preexisting Grantor, whether or not such new or additional Persons execute a joinder hereto or assumption hereof (without the same being deemed a waiver of any default caused thereby) which condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default arising out of such assignment. The rights and privileges of the Agent under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. All promises, covenants and agreements of the Grantor contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of such Person.
(b) Joint and Several Liability. All Grantors shall jointly and severally be liable for the obligations of each Grantor to the Agent hereunder.
(c) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement. Notices to Grantors shall be addressed to such Grantor at the address set forth in or determined pursuant to the Credit Agreement for the Borrower. Notices to the Agent shall be addressed to the Agent at its address set forth in or determined pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
(d) Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired thereby. Any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
15
(e) Costs and Expenses. Without limiting any other cost reimbursement provisions in the Loan Documents, upon demand, the Grantors shall pay to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Agent hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without limitation those that may be incurred in connection with (i) the preparation of this agreement and all amendments, restatements, waivers and supplements hereto, (ii) the administration of this Agreement, (iii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iv) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent hereunder or (v) the failure of any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
(f) Indemnification by Grantors. Each Grantor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless all Indemnitees from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in any other Loan Document.
(g) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or by e-mail (in .pdf form) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(h) Amendments and Waivers. The terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Grantors and the Agent.
(i) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
10. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to demand specific performance of this Agreement at any time when any Grantor shall have failed to comply with any provision hereof, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of
16
specific performance hereof in any action brought therefor. Each Grantor that is not a party to the Credit Agreement hereby acknowledges receipt from the Borrower of a correct and complete copy of the Credit Agreement and consents to all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof and agrees that its consent is not required for any amendments, modifications, restatements or waivers of it or any of the provisions thereof.
11. RELATIONSHIP WITH CREDIT AGREEMENT. To the extent that any of the terms hereof is inconsistent with any provision of the Credit Agreement, the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall control.
12. TERMINATION; PARTIAL RELEASE.
(a) At such time as no Secured Party has any commitment to make financial accommodations to the Grantor pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and all the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full, then the security provided for herein shall terminate and the liens granted herein are released, provided, however, that all indemnities of the Borrower and each other Grantor contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement; provided, further, that the security interest provided for herein shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Grantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(b) Effective upon the closing of a disposition of any Collateral in conformity with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, and receipt by the Agent of a certification to such effect from an authorized officer of the Borrower, the security interest in the Collateral so disposed of shall terminate and the liens granted herein in such Collateral are released, and the Agent shall deliver such releases as may be appropriate, provided, however, the security interest in all remaining Collateral shall remain in full force and effect.
13. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law).
(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sitting in Philadelphia County and of the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Pennsylvania state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties 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 or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or
17
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) above. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each Grantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right to bring any action or proceeding against the Agent in any court outside the county of Philadelphia, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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 OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
18
