partnership, joint venture or limited liability company constituting Collateral to issue any
such securities or other ownership interests, any right to receive the same or any right to
receive earnings, except to such Grantor.
4.6.3 Registration of Pledged Securities and other Investment Property. Each
Grantor will permit any registrable Collateral owned by such Grantor to be registered in the
name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee at any time at the option of the Required
Lenders following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
without any further consent of such Grantor.
4.6.4 Exercise of Rights in Pledged Securities and other Investment Property.
Each Grantor will permit the Administrative Agent or its nominee at any time after the
continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, to exercise or refrain from exercising
any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral owned by such
Grantor or any part thereof, and to receive all dividends and interest in respect of such
Collateral.
4.7. Deposit Accounts. Each Grantor will (i) upon the Administrative Agent’s request,
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each bank or other financial institution (other than
the Administrative Agent) in which it maintains (a) a Deposit Account to enter into a control
agreement with the Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent in order to give the Administrative Agent Control of the Deposit Account or (b) other
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) to be notified of the security
interest granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder and cause each such bank or other financial
institution to acknowledge such notification in writing and (ii) upon the Administrative Agent’s
request after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, deliver to each
such bank or other financial institution a letter, in form and substance acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, transferring ownership of the Deposit Account to the Administrative Agent or
transferring dominion and control over each such other deposit to the Administrative Agent until
such time as no Default exists. In the case of deposits maintained with Lenders, the terms of such
letter shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement regarding setoffs.
4.8. Letter-of-Credit Rights. Each Grantor will, upon the Administrative Agent’s
request, cause each issuer of a letter of credit for the benefit of any Grantor, to consent to the
assignment of proceeds of the letter of credit in order to give the Administrative Agent Control of
the letter-of-credit rights to such letter of credit.
4.9. Federal, State or Municipal Claims. Each Grantor will notify the Administrative
Agent of any Collateral owned by such Grantor which constitutes a claim against the United States
government or any state or local government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, the
assignment of which claim is restricted by federal, state or municipal law, in each case, to the
extent that the fair market value of such Collateral individually, or in the aggregate with respect
to any Person against whom such a claim may be made, exceeds $1,000,000.
4.10. Intellectual Property.
11
4.10.1 If, after the date hereof, any Grantor obtains rights to any registered Patent,
Copyright or Trademark or any Patent, Copyright or Trademark for which registration is
pending, including, but not limited to filing and acceptance of a statement of use or an
amendment to allege use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or applies for
or seeks registration of, any new patentable invention, Trademark or Copyright in addition
to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights described in Part C of Exhibit “B”, which
are all of such Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights as of the Effective Date, then
such Grantor shall give the Administrative Agent notice thereof, as part of the compliance
certificate provided to the Administrative Agent in connection with the financial statements
delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor agrees promptly
upon request by the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
any supplement to this Security Agreement or any other document reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent to evidence such security interest in a form appropriate for recording
in the applicable federal office. Each Grantor also hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to modify this Security Agreement unilaterally (i) by amending Part C of Exhibit
“B” to include any future Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights of which the
Administrative Agent receives notification from such Grantor pursuant hereto and (ii) by
recording, in addition to and not in substitution for this Security Agreement, a duplicate
original of this Security Agreement containing in Part C of Exhibit “B” a
description of such future Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights.
4.10.2 This Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on the
Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks for which registration is pending, or registered, with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as
applicable, and, upon filing of the Confirmatory Grant of Security Interest in Copyrights
with the United States Copyright Office and filing of the Confirmatory Grant of Security
Interest in Patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the filing of
appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions listed in Exhibit “E” hereto, all
action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the security interest in, to and on
such Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights has been taken and such perfected security interest
is enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor.
4.11. Commercial Tort Claims. If, after the date hereof, any Grantor identifies the
existence of a Commercial Tort Claim belonging to such Grantor that has arisen in the course of
such Grantor’s business in addition to the Commercial Tort Claims described in Exhibit “F”, which
are all of such Grantor’s Commercial Tort Claims as of the Effective Date, then such Grantor shall
give the Administrative Agent notice thereof, at the time of delivery of its compliance certificate
delivered with the financial statements required by Section 5.01(a) of the Credit Agreement. Each
Grantor agrees promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent any supplement to this Security Agreement or any other document reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence the grant of a security interest therein in favor
of the Administrative Agent.
4.12. Updating of Exhibits to Security Agreement. The Borrower will provide to the
Administrative Agent, concurrently with the delivery of the certificate of a Financial Officer of
the Borrower as required by Section 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement with respect to financial
statements delivered under Section 5.01(a) of the Credit Agreement, updated versions of the
Exhibits to this Security Agreement (provided that if there have been no changes to any such
Exhibits since the previous updating thereof required hereby, the Borrower shall indicate that
there has been “no change” to the applicable Exhibit(s)).
12
ARTICLE V
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
5.1. Acceleration and Remedies. Upon the acceleration of the Obligations under the
Credit Agreement pursuant to Article VII thereof:
5.1.1 The Obligations under the Credit Agreement and, to the extent provided for under
the Swap Agreements and the Banking Services Agreements evidencing the same, the Swap
Obligations and the Banking Services Obligations, shall immediately become due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived, and the Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence or at the direction
of the Required Lenders, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:
(i) | Those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, provided that this clause (i) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties prior to a Default. | ||
(ii) | Those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement. | ||
(iii) | Give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Deposit Account Control Agreement or other control agreement with any securities intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral. | ||
(iv) | Without notice except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 hereof or elsewhere herein, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises of elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. | ||
(v) | Concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof. |
5.1.2 The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any
applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the
Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
13
5.1.3 The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales
and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part
of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption
the Grantor hereby expressly releases.
5.1.4 Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other
disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use
Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of
preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment
of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the
Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and other
Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to
such appointment.
5.1.5 If, after the Credit Agreement has terminated by its terms and all of the
Secured Obligations have been paid in full, there remain outstanding Swap Obligations or
Banking Services Obligations, the Required Lenders may exercise the remedies provided in
this Section 5.1 upon the occurrence of any event which would allow or require the
termination or acceleration of any Swap Obligations or Banking Services Obligations but only
to the extent that the Administrative Agent has a Lien on any Collateral.
5.1.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other
Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of
their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any
other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust
any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or
indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured
Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or
(iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.
5.1.7 Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a
public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or
more private sales thereof in accordance with Section 5.1.1 above. Each Grantor
also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable
to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances,
agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially
unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Administrative Agent
shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period
of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register
such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under
applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree
to do so.
5.2. Grantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:
5.2.1 Assembly of Collateral. Assemble and make available to the
Administrative Agent the Collateral and all records relating thereto at any place or places
specified by the Administrative Agent.
5.2.2 Secured Party Access. Permit the Administrative Agent, by the
Administrative Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises
where all or any part of
14
the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to
take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating
thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records
relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to
pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy.
5.3. License. The Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to
use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without charge,
each Grantor’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names,
trademarks, service marks, customer lists and advertising matter, or any property of a similar
nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and
selling any Collateral, and, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, such Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the
Administrative Agent’s benefit. In addition, each Grantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the
Administrative Agent may, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation
persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection
with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Security
Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and
any Inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the
Administrative Agent may finish any work in process and affix any trademark owned by or licensed to
such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.
ARTICLE VI
WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or
remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to
be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any
such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or
provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the
Administrative Agent and each Grantor, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in such
writing, provided that the addition of any Subsidiary as a Grantor hereunder by execution of a
Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Annex I (with such modifications as shall be
acceptable to the Administrative Agent) shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution
of any documentation by any other Grantor party hereto. All rights and remedies contained in this
Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
ARTICLE VII
PROCEEDS; COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES
7.1. Lockboxes. Upon request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent irrevocable lockbox agreements in the form provided by or otherwise acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, which agreements shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank
where the lockbox is located of the Lien of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder and of
irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to a special collateral account at
the Administrative Agent.
15
7.2. Collection of Receivables. The Administrative Agent may at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, by giving each Grantor written
notice, elect to require that the Receivables be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties. In such event, each Grantor shall, and shall permit the
Administrative Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Receivables
owned by such Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s interest therein and direct such account
debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under such Receivables
directly to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Administrative
Agent, each Grantor shall thereafter for so long as an Event of Default is continuing hold in trust
for the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, all amounts and proceeds received
by it with respect to the Receivables and Other Collateral and immediately and at all times
thereafter deliver to the Administrative Agent all such amounts and proceeds in the same form as so
received, whether by cash, check, draft or otherwise, with any necessary endorsements. The
Administrative Agent shall hold and apply funds so received as provided by the terms of
Sections 7.3 and 7.4 hereof.
7.3. Special Collateral Account. After the occurrence, and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may require all cash proceeds of the Collateral to be
deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Administrative Agent
and held there as security for the Secured Obligations. No Grantor shall have any control
whatsoever over said cash collateral account. If any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders),
from time to time, apply the collected balances in said cash collateral account to the payment of
the Secured Obligations whether or not the Secured Obligations shall then be due.
7.4. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent to payment of the Secured Obligations as provided under Section 2.18 of the
Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1. Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral. To the extent
notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other
disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made is required under applicable law, such
notice shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Borrower, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at
least ten (10) days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any
such private sale or other disposition may be made. The Administrative Agent shall have no
obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale
of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives
and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension,
moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety
now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any
Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of
sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any
Collateral.
16
8.2. Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and other Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to
the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise
prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall use
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in
its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the
Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation
of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that
applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially
reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the
Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent
to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process
into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party
consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law,
to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of
Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against
account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse
claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other
Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media
of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact
other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in
acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers
to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized
nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of
assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or
that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi)
to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of
loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a
guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment
bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection
or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this
Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the
Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of
remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section
8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the
Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by
applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.
8.3. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor and the Administrative
Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors
with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become
uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a
disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with
respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative
Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount
as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and
any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the
Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any
such action.
17
8.4. Secured Party Performance of Grantor’s Obligations. Without having any
obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor
has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and such Grantor shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent for any reasonable amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 8.4. Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.
8.5. Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Each Grantor irrevocably
authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent (for clauses (ii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii), only upon the occurrence and
continuation of an Event of Default) and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact
(i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or
desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection
and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and
collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral
as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing
statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection
and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and
enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are
Collateral owned by such Grantor and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding
other Investment Property as may be necessary or advisable to give the Administrative Agent Control
over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) subject to the terms of Section
4.1.5 hereof, to enforce payment of the Instruments, Accounts and Receivables in the name of
the Administrative Agent or such Grantor, (vi) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by
the Administrative Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VII and (vii) to
discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such
Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each Grantor
agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any
reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, provided that this
authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement
or under the Credit Agreement.
8.6. Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees
that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 5.3 hereof will cause
irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative
Agent and Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore
agrees, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to seek and
obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security
Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this
Section 8.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
8.7. Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the
Grantors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until
the Secured Obligations are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs,
without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy.
8.8. [Intentionally Omitted].
8.9. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or
reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any
18
creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant
part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent
conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the
event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
8.10. Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a
debtor to this Security Agreement), except that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign
their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein,
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. No sales of participations,
assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or
any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties,
hereunder.
8.11. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors
contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security
Agreement.
8.12. Taxes and Expenses. To the extent required by Section 2.17 of the Credit
Agreement, any Other Taxes payable or ruled payable by a Federal or State authority in respect of
this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Grantors, together, to the extent required by Section
2.17 of the Credit Agreement, with interest and penalties, if any. The Grantors shall pay all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any
other Secured Party, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Secured Party, in connection with
the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this
Security Agreement and any other Loan
Document, including its rights under this Section; provided, however, that in no event
shall the Grantors be required to reimburse the Lenders or any other Secured Party for more than
one counsel to the Administrative Agent (and up to one local counsel to the Administrative Agent in
each applicable jurisdiction and regulatory counsel) and one counsel for all of the other Lenders
and Secured Parties (and up to one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and regulatory
counsel), unless a Lender or its counsel or any other Secured Party or its counsel determines that
it is impractical or inappropriate (or would create actual or potential conflicts of interest) to
not have individual counsel, in which case such Lender or such Secured Party may have its own
counsel which shall be reimbursed in accordance with the foregoing. Any and all costs and expenses
incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall
be borne solely by the Grantors.
8.13. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for
convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and
provisions of this Security Agreement.
8.14. Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding
the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until (i) any and
all commitments to extend credit under the Loan Documents have terminated, and the Credit Agreement
has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations (other than
Unliquidated Obligations) have been indefeasibly paid in cash and performed in full (or with
respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit, a cash deposit or backup Letter of Credit has been
delivered to the Administrative Agent
19
as required by the Credit Agreement) and no commitments of the Administrative Agent or the
Secured Parties which would give rise to any Obligations are outstanding.
8.15. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and
understanding between the Grantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the Grantors and the Administrative Agent
relating to the Collateral.
8.16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
8.16.1 THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
8.16.2 Each of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive 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 Security Agreement
or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of
the Administrative Agent and each Grantor 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
Administrative Agent and each Grantor 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 Security Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Security
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of
any jurisdiction.
8.16.3 Each of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document
in any court referred to in Section 8.16.2. Each of the Administrative Agent and
each Grantor 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.
8.16.4 Each party to this Security Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Article IX of this Security Agreement, and
each of the Grantors hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for service of process.
Nothing in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any
party to this Security Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
8.16.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH
GRANTOR 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 SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HEREIN (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
20
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER
PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HEREIN HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
8.17. Indemnity. Each Grantor hereby agrees, jointly with the other Grantors and
severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and their respective
successors, assigns, agents and employees, from and against any and all liabilities, damages,
penalties, suits, costs, and expenses of any kind and nature (including, without limitation, all
expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent or any
Secured Party is a party thereto) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent or the Secured Parties, or their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, in any
way relating to or arising out of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the
manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use,
operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition of any Collateral (including, without
limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by the Administrative Agent or
the Secured Parties or any Grantor, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement);
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Person indemnified hereunder, be
available to the extent that such liabilities, damages, penalties, situs, costs and expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the material breach by any such Person of its express obligations under the Loan
Documents or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.
8.18. Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Grantor agrees that any and
all claims of such Grantor against any other Grantor (each an “Obligor”) with respect to
any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other
guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all
Secured Obligations, provided that, and not in contravention of the foregoing, so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Grantor may make loans to and
receive payments with respect to such Intercompany Indebtedness from each such Obligor to the
extent not prohibited by the terms of this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding any right of any Grantor to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from
any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Grantor, whether now or hereafter
arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to
the rights of the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent in those assets. No Grantor shall
have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by
judicial action or otherwise, unless and until this Security Agreement has terminated in accordance
with Section 8.14. If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds
thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor,
whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation,
bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action
or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the
assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred
to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either
in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect
to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Grantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be
paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Secured
Obligations, due or to become due, until such Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated
Obligations) shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment,
distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Grantor upon
or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any
21
Insolvency Event and prior to the termination of this Security Agreement in accordance with
Section 8.14, such Grantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement
or assignment of the Grantor where necessary), for application to any of the Secured Obligations,
due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Grantor as the
property of the Secured Parties. If any such Grantor fails to make any such endorsement or
assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or
employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Grantor agrees that until the
termination of this Security Agreement in accordance with Section 8.14, no Grantor will
assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or another
Grantor) any claim any such Grantor has or may have against any Obligor.
8.19. Severability. Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be
inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be
inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that
jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other
jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be
severable.
8.20. Counterparts. This Security 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. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Security Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.
ARTICLE IX

9.1. Sending Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Security Agreement shall be sent (and deemed received) in the manner and to the addresses set forth
in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. Any notice delivered to the Borrower shall be deemed to
have been delivered to all of the Grantors.
9.2. Change in Address for Notices. Each of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the
other parties.
