ARTICLE V

Section 5.01 Further Assurances.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:

Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Trustee herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Trustee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].
Section 5.02 Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Joinder Agreement. Upon delivery of any such Joinder Agreement to the Collateral Trustee, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its Obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Trustee not to cause any Subsidiary of the Borrower to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
ARTICLE VI
COLLATERAL TRUSTEE APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
Section 6.01 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Trustee (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Trustee or otherwise, from time to time to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Trustee may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:
24
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Indenture;

(e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;
(f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor;

(h) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Trustee’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Trustee deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Trustee’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Section 6.02 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Trustee or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties 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, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
25
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES
Section 7.01 Generally.
(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trustee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:
(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Trustee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Trustee and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at a place to be designated by the Collateral Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;
(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Trustee deems appropriate; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at any public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Trustee may deem commercially reasonable.
(b) The Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Trustee, as Collateral Trustee for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Trustee at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days written notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
26
place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent, any Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Trustee (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete 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 consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors, secondary obligors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances 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 any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the 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 capability 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, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Trustee or the Secured Parties against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Trustee or the Secured Parties a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Trustee, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Trustee in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Trustee or the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Trustee or the Secured Parties that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Trustee, that the Collateral Trustee has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 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 default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Trustee hereunder.
(c) The Collateral Trustee may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the
27
like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(d) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
Section 7.02 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 7.03 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Trustee sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Collateral Trustee and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Trustee may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
Section 7.04 [Intentionally Omitted.]
Section 7.05 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Trustee determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Trustee in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
Section 7.06 Intellectual Property.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, but subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement:
(i) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Trustee or otherwise, in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion, to enforce any of such Grantor’s rights in any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Trustee, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all
28
documents required by the Collateral Trustee in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Trustee as provided in Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Trustee shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement, dilution, misappropriation or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing, diluting, misappropriating, or otherwise violating such Intellectual Property as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement, dilution, misappropriation or other violation;
(ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Trustee, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Trustee an absolute assignment of all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;
(iii) each Grantor agrees that such a grant, conveyance, transfer, assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Trustee (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property; and
(iv) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property of such Grantor, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Trustee, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;
(1) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by any Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.08 hereof; and
(2) No grantor shall adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.
(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Trustee of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as
29
may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Trustee as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Trustee; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Trustee’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties.
(c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Trustee to exercise rights and remedies under this Article 7 and at such time as the Collateral Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Trustee, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.
Section 7.07 Collection of Accounts and General Intangibles. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Trustee or the Collateral Trustee’s designee may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement: (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles or Chattel Paper of such Grantor have been assigned to the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or that the Collateral Trustee has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts and General Intangibles of any Grantor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Obligations under the Indenture.
Section 7.08 Cash Proceeds. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, any cash, checks or other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) received by the Collateral Trustee (whether from a Grantor or otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be held by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) in accordance with the provisions hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Trustee, (A) be held by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Trustee against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.
ARTICLE VIII
COLLATERAL TRUSTEE
The Collateral Trustee has been appointed to act as Collateral Trustee under the Indenture by the Noteholders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Trustee shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section.
30
ARTICLE IX
CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Indenture, any Noteholder may assign or otherwise transfer any Notes held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Secured Parties herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Trustee shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Upon the release of any Lien on any Collateral in favor of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, such Collateral shall automatically be released from the Liens created by this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL TRUSTEE MAY PERFORM
The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Trustee accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part 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 otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Trustee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor, but in no event shall the Collateral Trustee be obligated to so perform.
(a) | In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be charged with knowledge of compliance with or monitoring of the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, unless it receives actual notice of compliance or non-compliance by the performing party, including but not limited to whether or not dollar thresholds requiring pledge supplements with respect to letters of credit, tort claims or control agreements are met; nor shall the Collateral Trustee be charged with knowledge of dates or other terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. |
(b) | In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of god, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Collateral Trustee shall use reasonable efforts |
31
which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. |
(c) | Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable under or in connection with this Agreement for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, irrespective of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. |
(d) | The Collateral Trustee agrees to accept and act upon notice, instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods. If the party elects to give the Collateral Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Collateral Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Collateral Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling absent manifest error. The Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Trustee’s reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Collateral Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Collateral Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties. |
(e) | The Grantors and the Issuers, jointly and severally, shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Collateral Trustee (which for purposes of this paragraph (e) shall be deemed to include its officers, directors, employees and agents) from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages or reasonable costs or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of the following in respect of the Collateral: (w) the presence, disposal, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials which are on, from, or affecting the soil, water, vegetation, buildings, personal property, persons or animals; (x) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to such Hazardous Materials; (y) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating to such Hazardous Materials, and/or (z) any violation of laws, orders, regulations, requirements or demands of government authorities, which are based upon or in any way related to such Hazardous Materials including, reasonable attorney and consultant fees and expenses, reasonable investigation and laboratory fees, court costs, and reasonable litigation expenses, except, in each case, where such claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or expenses arise solely from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Collateral Trustee as determined in a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, “Hazardous Materials” includes radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic substances defined in the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 X.X.X. §0000, et. seq.) (“CERCLA”), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. Sections 5108, et seq.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 6901, et seq.), and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant thereto, or any other Federal, state or local environmental law, ordinance, rule, or regulation. The provisions of this paragraph shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities Holdings may have to the Collateral Trustee at common law, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. |
32
(f) | The Issuers and the Grantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Collateral Trustees against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by either of them arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement against the Issuers and the Grantors (including this Section) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, the Grantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Trustee will notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Collateral Trustee to so notify the Issuers will not relieve the Issuers or any of the Grantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers or such Grantor will defend the claim and the Collateral Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Collateral Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuers nor any Grantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. |
(g) | For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to the foregoing, each of the Collateral Trustees hereunder shall have the rights, protections and immunities granted to them under the Indenture, and such are incorporated by reference herein. |
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 13.01 of the Indenture. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Trustee in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Indenture shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the Indenture are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder if in such Grantor’s judgment such assignment shall have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement and the Indenture embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Trustee and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, neither this Agreement nor the Indenture may be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.
33
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND RULE 327(b) OF THE NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES. THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PREPARATION OR FILING OF FINANCING STATEMENTS OR FOR OTHERWISE MAINTAINING THE PERFECTION OF THE LIEN IN THE COLLATERAL HEREUNDER.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
34
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Trustee have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.
