15
by such Grantor to the order of the Administrative Agent or in such other manner as satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). All such insurance proceeds may be retained by the Administrative Agent as part of Collateral hereunder and held in the Proceeds Account, applied by the Administrative Agent toward payment of all or part of the Secured Obligations in such order as is provided herein, or released to such Grantor upon its request with the consent of the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 6 Rights to Payment and Pledged Collateral.
(a) Collection of Rights to Payment. Until the Administrative Agent exercises its rights hereunder to collect any Rights to Payment of any Grantor, each such Grantor shall endeavor in the first instance diligently to collect all amounts due or to become due on or with respect to the Rights to Payment held by such Grantor. At the request of the Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all remittances received by such Grantor shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and, in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions, remitted to the Administrative Agent or deposited to an account with the Administrative Agent in the form received (with any necessary endorsements or instruments of assignment or transfer).
(b) Pledged Collateral. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any cash dividend on or other cash distribution or payment, if any, in respect of the Pledged Collateral, to the extent consistent with the Credit Agreement or the Guarantee, as applicable; provided, however, that, except in connection with transactions permitted under Section 9.09 or Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall not be entitled to receive (i) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for or in substitution of, any Pledged Collateral held by such Grantor, or (ii) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any such Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution of any Person whose ownership interests constitute Pledged Collateral or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus or any other type of recapitalization involving any such Person. At the request of the Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive all distributions and payments of any nature with respect to any Pledged Collateral, and all such distributions or payments received by such Grantor shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and, in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions, remitted to the Administrative Agent or deposited to an account with the Administrative Agent in the form received (with any necessary endorsements or instruments of assignment or transfer). Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default any such distributions and payments with respect to any such Pledged Collateral held in any Securities Account shall be held and retained in such Securities Account, in each case as part of the Collateral hereunder. Additionally, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, following prior written notice to any applicable Grantor, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to any Pledged Collateral held by such Grantor, and to exercise all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining thereto, as if the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the foregoing
16
rights afforded to it and shall not be responsible to such Grantor or any other Person for any failure to do so or delay in doing so.
(c) Voting Prior to an Event of Default. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, each Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Collateral held by such Grantor and to give consents, ratifications and waivers in respect thereof, and shall retain the power to control the direction, management and policies of any Person comprising such Pledged Collateral to the same extent as such Grantor would if such Pledged Collateral were not pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would have the effect of materially impairing the position or interest of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in respect of such Pledged Collateral or which would alter the voting rights with respect to the stock or other ownership interest in or of any such Person or be inconsistent with or violate any provision of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents. If applicable, such Grantor shall be deemed the beneficial owner of all such Pledged Collateral for purposes of Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act and agrees to file all reports required to be filed by beneficial owners of securities thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this subsection (c) and to receive the distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to this subsection (c).
(d) Certain Other Administrative Matters. The Administrative Agent may cause any of the Pledged Collateral to be transferred into its name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (subject to the revocable rights specified in this Section 6). The Administrative Agent shall at all times have the right to exchange uncertificated Pledged Collateral for certificated Pledged Collateral, and to exchange certificated Pledged Collateral for certificates of larger or smaller denominations, for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.
SECTION 7 Authorization; Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. In addition to (and not in limitation of) any other right or remedy provided to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to, in the name of any Grantor, or in the name of the Administrative Agent or otherwise, without notice to or assent by any such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and any of the Administrative Agent’s officers or employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to:
(a) file any of the financing statements which must be filed to perfect or continue to perfect, maintain the priority of or provide notice of the Administrative Agent’s Lien in the Collateral;
(b) take possession of and endorse any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other forms of payment or security and collect any Proceeds of any Collateral;
17
(c) sign and endorse any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral, warehouse or storage receipts, drafts against customers or other obligors, assignments, notices of assignment, verifications and notices to customers or other obligors;
(d) notify the U.S. Postal Service and other postal authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Grantor to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate; and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, establish with any Person lockbox or similar arrangements for the payment of the Rights to Payment of such Grantor;
(e) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor;
(f) send requests for verification of Rights to Payment to the customers or other obligors of such Grantor;
(g) contact, or direct such Grantor to contact, all account debtors and other obligors on the Rights to Payment of such Grantor and instruct such account debtors and other obligors to make all payments directly to the Administrative Agent;
(h) assert, adjust, xxx for, compromise or release any Claims under any policies of insurance;

(k) ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all Rights to Payment of such Grantor, enforce payment or any other rights in respect of the Rights to Payment and other Collateral, grant consents, agree to any amendments, modifications or waivers of the agreements and documents governing such Rights to Payment and other Collateral, and otherwise file any Claims, take any action or institute, defend, settle or adjust any actions, suits or proceedings with respect to the Collateral, as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable to maintain, preserve and protect the Collateral, to collect the Collateral or to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral;
(l) execute any and all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for the Administrative Agent to use the Intellectual Property Collateral and grant or issue any exclusive or non-exclusive license or sublicense with respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral;
(m) execute any and all endorsements, assignments or other documents and instruments necessary to sell, lease, assign, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Collateral;
18
(n) execute and deliver to any securities intermediary or other Person any entitlement order or other notice, document or instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to maintain, protect, realize upon and preserve the Deposit Accounts and Investment Property of such Grantor and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein; and
(o) execute any and all such other documents and instruments, and do any and all acts and things for and on behalf of such Grantor, which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to maintain, protect, realize upon and preserve the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.
The Administrative Agent agrees that, except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, it shall not exercise the power of attorney, or any rights granted to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to clauses (b) through (o). The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as the Lenders have any Commitments or the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no Claim has been made) have not been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, all that the Administrative Agent shall lawfully and in good faith do or cause to be done by virtue of and in compliance with this Section 7.
SECTION 8 Administrative Agent Performance of Grantor Obligations. The Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay under or in connection with this Agreement, and such Grantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any amounts paid, or costs incurred, by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.
SECTION 9 Administrative Agent’s Duties. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the rights, privileges or powers afforded to it and shall not be responsible to any Grantor or any other Person for any failure to do so or delay in doing so. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of Collateral in the Administrative Agent’s possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to exercise or preserve any rights, privileges or powers pertaining to the Collateral. The Administrative shall not deliver any notice of exclusive control under a Control Agreement with respect to any Collateral unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 10 Remedies.
(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee or any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the NY UCC and other applicable Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that:
(i)The Administrative Agent may peaceably and without notice enter any premises of such Grantor, take possession of any Collateral, remove or dispose of all or part of the
19
Collateral on any premises of such Grantor or elsewhere, or, in the case of Equipment, render it nonfunctional, and otherwise collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, and demand, give receipt for, settle, renew, extend, exchange, compromise, adjust, or xxx for all or any part of the Collateral, as the Administrative Agent may determine.
(i)The Administrative Agent may require such Grantor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent, at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)The Administrative Agent may use or transfer any of such Grantor’s rights and interests in any Intellectual Property Collateral, by license, by sublicense (to the extent permitted by an applicable license) or otherwise, on such conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent may determine.
(iii)The Administrative Agent may secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof (to the extent and in the manner provided by applicable Law).
(iv)The Administrative Agent may withdraw (or cause to be withdrawn) any and all funds from any Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts), Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts.
(v)The Administrative Agent may sell, resell, lease, use, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of such Grantor’s assets, without charge or liability to the Administrative Agent therefor) at public or private sale, by one or more Contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, for cash or credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, all as the Administrative Agent deems advisable; provided, however, that such Grantor shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and each of the other Secured Parties shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption such Grantor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Administrative Agent shall give such Grantor such notice of any public or private sale as may be required by the NY UCC or other applicable Law. Such Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to make a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral, by reason of prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws or otherwise, and expressly agrees that a private sale to a restricted group of purchasers for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale.
(vii) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Secured Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may release, modify or waive any Collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Secured Obligations, all without affecting the Administrative Agent’s or any other Secured Party’s rights
20
against such Grantor. Such Grantor waives any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to pursue any third Person for any of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, such Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Administrative Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantors shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.
(b) License. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 10 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive and assignable license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property Collateral.
(c) Application of Proceeds. The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of any Grantor’s Collateral, and any other amounts received in respect of such Collateral the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied as provided in Section 3.03(d) of the Credit Agreement. Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations shall be promptly paid over to such Grantor or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the NY UCC or other applicable Law. Each Grantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for any deficiency which exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral.
SECTION 11 Certain Waivers. Each Grantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Secured Obligations; (b) any right to require the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties (i) to proceed against any Person, (ii) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Secured Obligations, (iii) to pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any of the other Secured Parties’ power, or (iv) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Collateral; and (c) all Claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral.
SECTION 12 Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be given in the manner and to the addresses specified in Section 14.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 13 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right,
21
remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.
SECTION 14 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Grantor, the Administrative Agent, each Secured Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall bind any Person who becomes bound as a debtor, agent or secured party to this Agreement.
SECTION 15 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided that Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law shall apply.
SECTION 16 Submission to Jurisdiction
(a) . Each Grantor agrees that any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought initially in the federal or state courts in New York, New York or in the courts of its own corporate domicile and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment. This Section 16 is for the benefit of the Secured Parties only and, as a result, no Secured Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by any Law, the Secured Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.
(b) Waiver of Venue. Each Grantor irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and hereby further irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any Claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment (in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed) in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which such Obligor is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.
(c) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.
SECTION 17 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
SECTION 18 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
22
matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including any confidentiality (or similar) agreements. Each Grantor acknowledges, represents and warrants that in deciding to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in taking or not taking any action hereunder or thereunder, it has not relied, and will not rely, on any statement, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or understanding, whether written or oral, of or with the Lenders other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement shall not be amended except by the written agreement of the parties as provided in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 19 Severability. If any provision hereof is found by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by any Law the parties agree that such invalidity or unenforceability shall not impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
SECTION 20 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in PDF format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
SECTION 21 No Inconsistent Requirements. Each Grantor acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may contain covenants and other terms and provisions variously stated regarding the same or similar matters, and agrees that all such covenants, terms and provisions are cumulative and all shall be performed and satisfied in accordance with their respective terms.
SECTION 22 Accession. At such time following the date hereof as any Person (an “Acceding Grantor”) is required to accede hereto pursuant to the terms of Section 8.12 of the Credit Agreement, such Acceding Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an accession agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A (an “Accession Agreement”), signifying its agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Grantor to the same extent as if such Acceding Grantor had originally executed this Agreement as of the date hereof.
SECTION 23 Termination. Upon the termination of the Commitments of the Lenders and payment and performance in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Warrant Obligations and inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no Claim has been made), the security interests created by this Agreement shall terminate and the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Grantor such documents and instruments reasonably requested by such Grantor as shall be necessary to evidence the termination of all security interests given by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent hereunder.
SECTION 24 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Security Agreement but does not constitute and, is not intended to create, a novation or accord and satisfaction. All security interests and other Liens granted or conveyed with respect to the Collateral (as defined in the Existing Security Agreement) pursuant to the Existing Security Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall constitute Collateral hereunder, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute a termination, release or
23
extinguishment of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent that was in effect immediately prior to the date hereof.
