4.12                        Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any jurisdiction the Agent deems appropriate any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail; and (b) provide any other information required by the UCC, for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment.

 

(b)                                 Such Grantor will furnish to the Agent and the Lenders from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the assets and property of such Grantor and such other reports in connection therewith as the Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

 

(c)                                  Each Grantor further agrees, upon the written request of the Agent, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, to take any and all other actions the Agent may determine to be necessary or useful for the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security interest in any and all of the Collateral, including (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto, to the extent, if any, that such Grantor’s signature thereon is required therefor; (ii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States or other jurisdiction as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security interest in such Collateral; (iii) obtaining governmental and other third-party waivers, consents and approvals in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (iv) obtaining waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; and (v) taking all actions under any requirements of law, as reasonably determined by the Agent to be applicable in any U.S. jurisdiction.

 

4.13                        Assigned Agreements. Each Grantor will use its best efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary for the assignment to or for the benefit of the Agent of any Assigned Agreement held by such Grantor and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder. Each Grantor shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of the Assigned Agreements, and shall enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder, in each case, as it deems appropriate in its

 

13


 

business judgment; provided, however, that such Grantor shall not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to its Assigned Agreements that would cause the termination of an Assigned Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor shall take all action necessary to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any materially adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under its Assigned Agreements. Each Grantor shall notify the Agent in writing, promptly after such Grantor becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a material claim by it for indemnification under any of its Assigned Agreements, and shall diligently pursue such right and report to the Agent on all further developments with respect thereto. Each Grantor shall deposit into a Deposit Account at the Agent or subject to a Control Agreement for application to the Obligations, in accordance with the Credit Agreement, all amounts received by such Grantor as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to its Assigned Agreements. If any Grantor shall fail after the Agent’s demand to pursue diligently any right under its Assigned Agreements, or if an Event of Default then exists, the Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, directly enforce such right in its own or such Grantor’s name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as the Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under any Assigned Agreement for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, each Grantor shall indemnify and hold the Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaims, recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from such Grantor to or in favor of such obligor or its successors. All such obligations of each Grantor shall be and remain enforceable only against such Grantor and shall not be enforceable against the Agent or the Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, each Grantor shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under its Assigned Agreements, and the Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of any of their respective rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release any Grantor from any of such duties and obligations. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to perform or fulfill any of any Grantor’s duties or obligations under its Assigned Agreements or to make any payment thereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment or property received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance by any party thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance, any payment of any amounts, or any delivery of any property.

 

SECTION 5                               REMEDIAL PROVISIONS.

 

5.1                               General Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may during the existence of an Event of Default forthwith collect, receive, appropriate

 

14


 

and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. The Agent or any Lender 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 the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or other disposition.

 

5.2                               License.

 

(a)                                 For the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license 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.

 

5.3                               Investment Property. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent shall have the right to (i) receive any and all cash dividends and distributions, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement, (ii) require any or all of the Investment Property to be registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, (iii) exercise all voting and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of holders of the Equity Interests of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (iv) exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and

 

15


 

deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

 

(b)                                 Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Agent.

 

(c)                                  If the Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 5.3, and if in the opinion of the Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one (1) year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

 

(d)                                 Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

 

16


 

(e)                                  Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 5.3 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.3 will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the Lenders, that the Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.3 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

 

5.4                               Proceeds to be Turned Over to Agent. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other cash equivalent items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Agent hereunder shall be held by the Agent in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds, while held by the Agent in any collateral account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Agent and the Lenders) established pursuant hereto, shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.5.

 

5.5                               Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent shall apply the Proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral in payment of the Obligations in the order specified by the Credit Agreement. Any part of such funds which the Agent deems not required as collateral security for the Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Agent to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after Payment in Full of the Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

 

5.6                               Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-626 of the UCC. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

 

SECTION 6                               THE AGENT.

 

6.1                               Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, during the existence of an Event of Default, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Agent the power and right, on behalf of and at the expense of such Grantor, without

notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following during the existence of an Event of Default:

 

(i)                                     in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

 

(ii)                                  in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Agent may request to evidence the Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

 

(iii)                               discharge Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, and effect any repairs or insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

 

(iv)                              execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

 

(v)                                 (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Agent or as the Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all monies, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; (8) vote any right or interest with respect to any Investment Property; (9) order good standing certificates and conduct lien searches in respect of such jurisdictions or offices as the Agent may deem appropriate; and (10) generally sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the

 

18


 

Collateral and the Agent’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

 

Anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1 unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

(b)                                 If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

 

(c)                                  Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

 

6.2                               PROXY. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE AGENT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.1 ABOVE) OF SUCH GRANTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT, DURING THE EXISTENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OR INFERENCE IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ELSEWHERE TO THE CONTRARY, THE AGENT SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL AT ANY TIME UNLESS AND UNTIL AN EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL HAVE OCCURRED AND BE CONTINUING. TO THE EXTENT THE AGENT SHALL HAVE EXERCISED ITS RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL DURING THE EXISTENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, AND SUCH EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN CURED OR WAIVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, (I) SUCH VOTING RIGHTS SHALL AUTOMATICALLY REVERT TO THE APPLICABLE GRANTOR, AND (II) THE AGENT, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE GRANTOR, SHALL EXECUTE SUCH DOCUMENTS REASONABLY REQUESTED BY THE GRANTOR TO ALLOW THE OWNER OF ANY EQUITY INTEREST TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH EQUITY INTEREST. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL DURING THE EXISTENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE, DURING THE EXISTENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF HOLDERS OR EQUITY INTERESTS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF EQUITY INTERESTS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE

 

19

 

CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF A DEFAULT. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS SECTION 6 IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE AGENT, NOR ANY LENDER, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

 

6.3                               Duty of Agent. The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Agent or any Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers. The Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder.

 

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

7.12                        Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than those containing an express choice-of-law provision), and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws (including, without limitation, 735 ILCS Section 105/5-1 et seq., but otherwise without regard to the conflict-of-laws provisions) of the State of Illinois.

Each of the Grantors hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and of any court sitting in the State of Illinois for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each of the Grantors irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND, BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFIT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AGENT, THE L/C ISSUER AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

 

7.14                        Set off. Each Grantor agrees that the Agent have all rights of set off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, each Grantor agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, the Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Grantor then or thereafter with the Agent or such Lender.

 

7.15                        Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; (b) neither the Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Grantors and the Lenders.

22


 

7.17                        Releases. (a) Upon Payment in Full of the Obligations, the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Agent shall deliver to the Grantors any Collateral held by the Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Grantors such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

(b)                                 If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral.

 

7.18                        Obligations and Liens Absolute and Unconditional. Each Grantor understands and agrees that the obligations of each Grantor under this Agreement shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Grantor or any other Person against the Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Grantor) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Grantor for the Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, the Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Agent or any Lender against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

7.19                        Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor or any Issuer for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor or any Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s or and Issuer’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 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 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 Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

7.20                        Amended and Restated. This Agreement amends and restates the Original Security Agreement and continues all obligations of the Grantors as set forth therein, except to the extent specifically modified in this Agreement; and this Agreement shall in no event be deemed a satisfaction or novation of the obligations of the Grantors in connection with the Original Security Agreement.

ANNEX III

 

FORM OF OPERATING AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS

 

Rights of Pledgee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the membership interests issued hereunder or covered hereby may be pledged to any lender(s) or agent for such lender(s) (hereafter, “Lender”) to secure financing provided to Company and/or its affiliates (a “Financing”). The pledge of such membership interests in connection with such Financing shall not cause a Member to cease to be a Member or, except as otherwise provided in the financing documents related to such Financing (“Financing Documents”), to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member and Lender shall not have any liability as a result of such pledge. The right of Lender to enforce its rights and remedies under the Financing Documents hereby is acknowledged and any such action taken in accordance therewith shall be valid and effective for all purposes under this Agreement (regardless of any restrictions herein contained) and any assignment, sale or other disposition of the membership interests by Lender pursuant to the Financing Documents in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and powers shall be valid and effective for all purposes to transfer all right, title and interest of the applicable Member(s) hereunder to Lender or any other Person (each an “Transferee”), including, without limitation, the rights to vote and participate in the management of the business and the business affairs of the Company, to share profits and losses, to receive distributions and to receive allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar item, and such Transferee shall be a Member of the Company, with all rights and powers of a Member. Such assignment shall not constitute an event of dissolution or cause the termination of the Company under this Agreement. Further, neither Lender nor any such Transferee shall be liable for the obligations of any Member assignor to make contributions. Any limitations contained in this Agreement inconsistent with the provisions of the Financing Documents or this Article shall be deemed waived, void and of no further force and effect until the repayment and termination of the Financing in accordance with the terms of Financing Documents. All Members approve all of the foregoing and all Members agree that no further approval shall be required for the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Financing Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Financing Documents (i) the Lender shall be entitled to remove any or all of the Managers and appoint any representatives of the Lender or any other Person, as the Lender elects, to be the Manager(s) in order to fill the vacancy(ies) created by such removal, and neither the Members nor any Manager who shall have been appointed by any Person other than the Lender shall have the right to remove the Managers so appointed by the Lender or to elect any new or additional Managers, and (ii) any Board of Managers may be replaced by a sole Manager at the Lender’s option. The provisions of this Article shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective transferees, assignees, successors, heirs, legatees and personal representatives, as the case may be, and any future Members or Managers and their respective transferees, assignees, successors, heirs, legatees and personal representatives, as the case may be. None of the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Agreement may be amended in any way which alters, limits, restricts or adversely affects the Lender’s ability to exercise its rights and remedies under the Financing Documents or the intended result thereof, without the prior written consent of the Lender.

Each Person signatory hereto is required to execute this Agreement pursuant to the Security Agreement.

 

In consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each signatory hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.                                      Each such Person assumes all the obligations of a Grantor under the Security Agreement and agrees that such person or entity is a Grantor and bound as a Grantor under the terms of the Security Agreement, as if it had been an original signatory to such agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, such Person hereby assigns, pledges and grants to the Agent a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral owned thereby to secure the Obligations.

 

2.                                      Schedules 1.2, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 of the Security Agreement are hereby amended to add the information relating to each such Person set out on Schedules 1.2, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9, respectively, hereof. Each such Person hereby makes to the Agent the representations and warranties set forth in the Security Agreement applicable to such Person and the applicable Collateral and confirms that such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects (provided that if any representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, such representation and warranty is true and correct in all respects) as though made on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (provided that if any representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, such representation and warranty is true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date) after giving effect to such amendment to such Schedules.

 

3.                                      In furtherance of its obligations under Section 4.2 of the Security Agreement, each such Person agrees to deliver to the Agent appropriately complete UCC financing statements naming such person or entity as debtor and the Agent as secured party, and describing its Collateral and such other documentation as the Agent (or its successors or assigns) may

5.                                      This Agreement shall be deemed to be part of, and a modification to, the Security Agreement and shall be governed by all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement, with respect to the modifications intended to be made to such agreement, which terms are incorporated herein by reference, are ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect as valid and binding agreements of each such person or entity enforceable against such person or entity subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered at equity or law).
