ARTICLE II
GUARANTY
Section 2.1 Guaranty. To
induce the Lenders to make the Loans, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and
severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary
obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due,
whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory
prepayment or otherwise in accordance with any Loan Document, of all the
Obligations of each Borrower whether existing on the date hereof or hereinafter
incurred or created (the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). This Guaranty by each Guarantor hereunder
constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.
Section 2.2 Limitation of
Guaranty. (a) Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any
other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate
amount for which any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not
exceed the maximum amount for which such Subsidiary Guarantor can be liable
without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to
such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of
Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and
Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable
provisions of comparable Requirements of Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer
Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes
of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution
established in Section 2.3 and,
for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt
as a result of any payment made under the Guaranty.
5
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in any action or
proceeding brought to enforce any Secured Obligation or to exercise any right or
remedy contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any judgment,
decree or other remedy shall be enforceable against Parent only to the extent
of, and Administrative Agent’s and Secured Parties’ recourse is limited to,
Parent’s interest in the Limited Collateral. Any judicial proceedings
brought by Administrative Agent or any Secured Party against Parent with respect
to the Secured Obligations shall be limited to the enforcement and foreclosure
of the security interest in the Limited Collateral and no judgment for any
deficiency upon the Secured Obligations shall be sought or obtained by
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party against Parent. The
Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that all obligations of
Parent undertaken hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be payable
solely from the Limited Collateral pledged by Parent hereunder.
Section 2.3 Contribution. To
the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any
portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the
amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Subsidiary Guarantor
from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Subsidiary
Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Subsidiary Guarantor had paid the
aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof
repaid by the Borrowers) in the same proportion as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s
net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net
worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall
be reimbursed by such other Subsidiary Guarantors for the amount of such excess,
pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Subsidiary Guarantors
on such date.
Section 2.4 Authorization; Other
Agreements. The Secured Parties are hereby authorized, without
notice to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise
affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any
liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the
following:
(a) (i) modify,
amend, supplement or otherwise change, (ii) accelerate or otherwise change
the time of payment or (iii) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance
with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any Loan Document;
(b) apply
to the Guaranteed Obligations any sums by whomever paid or however realized to
any Guaranteed Obligation in such order as provided in the Loan
Documents;
(c) refund
at any time any payment received by any Secured Party in respect of any
Guaranteed Obligation;
6
(d) (i) Dispose
of, exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, release,
abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, accept, substitute, surrender, exchange,
affect, impair or otherwise alter or release any Collateral for any Guaranteed
Obligation or any other guaranty therefor in any manner, (ii) receive, take
and hold additional Collateral to secure any Guaranteed Obligation,
(iii) add, release or substitute any one or more other Guarantors, makers
or endorsers of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof and
(iv) otherwise deal in any manner with any Borrower and any other
Guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof;
and
(e) settle,
release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed
Obligations.
Section 2.5 Guaranty Absolute and
Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to
assert any defense, whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of
the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this
Guaranty are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged
as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be
pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with
respect to this Guaranty, in each case except as otherwise agreed in writing by
the Administrative Agent):
(a) the
invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of any Borrower or any other
Guarantor under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security
for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or the
lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any
security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(b) the
absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part
thereof from any Borrower or any other Guarantor or other action to enforce the
same or (ii) any action to enforce any Loan Document or any Lien
thereunder;
(c) the
failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or
to preserve any rights with respect to, any Collateral;
(d) any
workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation or dissolution by or against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or
any other Subsidiaries of any Borrower or any procedure, agreement, order,
stipulation, election, action or omission thereunder, including any discharge or
disallowance of, or bar or stay against collecting, any Guaranteed Obligation
(or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;
(e) any
foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other Disposition of
any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default
by any Secured Party to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance
with such Secured Party’s rights under any applicable Requirement of Law;
or
(f) any
other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Subsidiaries of any Borrower, in each case other than the
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
7
Section 2.6 Waivers. Each
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert
any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness,
presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any
of the following: (a) any demand for payment or performance and
protest and notice of protest, (b) any notice of acceptance, (c) any
presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind
with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid
interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable and (d) any other
notice in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any
defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or
any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor further unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of
subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right
against any Borrower or any other Guarantor by reason of any Loan Document or
any payment made thereunder or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or
counterclaim it may have against any other Loan Party or set off any of its
obligations to such other Loan Party against obligations of such Loan Party to
such Guarantor. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be
discharged other than by complete performance.
Section 2.7 Reliance. Each
Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the
financial condition of each Borrower, each other Guarantor and any other
guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof,
and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any
Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal,
and each Guarantor hereby agrees that no Secured Party shall have any duty to
advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any
such circumstances. In the event any Secured Party, in its sole
discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such
information to any Guarantor, such Secured Party shall be under no obligation to
(a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine,
(b) disclose any information that such Secured Party, pursuant to accepted
or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain
confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any
other information to any Guarantor.

granted a security interest in, any of such Grantor’s right, title or interest
in:
(a) any
permit or license, or any Contractual Obligation entered into by such Grantor,
in each case, if and only if, and solely to the extent that, (i) the grant

provided that if such permit, license or Contractual Obligation involves the
payment by any Person, or the provision of services or transfer of property with
a value, in excess of $2,000,000 in any single year, the applicable Grantor,

Obligation; or
(b) any
fixed or capital assets owned by any Grantor and subject to a purchase money

Contractual Obligation pursuant to which such purchase money Lien is granted or
in the document providing for such Capital Lease (other than to the extent that

provided that if such Contractual Obligation or Capital Lease involves the

prior to entering into such Contractual Obligation or Capital Lease or obtaining
such fixed or capital asset, used commercially reasonable efforts to permit the

obtaining such permission; provided that immediately upon the time at which the
consequences described in the foregoing clause (i) shall no longer exist,
the Collateral shall include, and the Grantor shall be deemed to have granted a
security interest in, all of the Grantor’s right, title and interest in such
fixed or capital asset.

Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties:
Section 4.1 Title; No Other

others. Such Grantor (a) is the record and beneficial owner of

and (b) has rights in or the power to transfer each other item of
Collateral in which a Lien is granted by it hereunder, free and clear of any

Priority. The security interest granted pursuant to this
Agreement constitutes a valid and continuing perfected security interest in
favor of the Administrative Agent in all Collateral. Such security
interest is prior to all other Liens on the Collateral (except for Permitted
Collateral Liens). Except as set forth in this Section 4.2, all
actions by each Grantor necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the Lien
granted hereunder on the Collateral have been duly taken.
Section 4.3 Jurisdiction of

of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its
terms.
(b) As
of the Closing Date, all Pledged Collateral constituting Collateral (other than
Pledged Uncertificated Stock) and all Pledged Investment Property constituting
Collateral consisting of instruments and certificates has been delivered to the

(c) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of the
Grantor granting the security interest in any Pledged Stock constituting
Collateral, and a transferee or assignee of such Pledged Stock shall become a
holder of such Pledged Stock to the same extent as such Grantor and be entitled
to participate in the management of the issuer of such Pledged Stock and, upon
the transfer of the entire interest of such Grantor, such Grantor shall, by
operation of law, cease to be a holder of such Pledged Stock.

with respect to the subject matter thereof, has not been amended or modified,
and is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. To the
best knowledge of each Grantor, there exists no material violation or material
default under any Pledged Collateral Agreement by such Grantor or the other
parties thereto. Each Grantor has not knowingly waived or released
any of its material rights under or otherwise consented to a material departure
from the terms and provisions of any Pledged Collateral Agreement.

enforceability of, or any rights of such Grantor in, any Material Intellectual
Property constituting Collateral: (i) the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by any Loan Document or (ii) any holding,

claims, demands, orders or disputes challenging the ownership, use, validity,
enforceability of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Material Intellectual
Property constituting Collateral of such Grantor. To such Grantor’s
knowledge, no Person has been or is infringing, misappropriating, diluting,

pursuant to this Agreement, including the transfer of any Collateral, except as

Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the
continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at the Administrative Agent’s
request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the
Administrative Agent at places that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without
limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent also has the right to require
that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the
Administrative Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept,
provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect
the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition,
(iii) until the Administrative Agent is able to Dispose of any Collateral,
the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to
the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the
Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the
Administrative Agent and (iv) the Administrative Agent may, if it so
elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any
Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the
benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior
notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Administrative Agent
shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights
of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while
such Collateral is in the possession of the Administrative Agent.
(d) Application of
Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the cash
proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.1,
after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in
connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral
or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative
Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured
Obligations, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and only after such
application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other
amount required by any Requirement of Law, need the Administrative Agent account
for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.
19
(e) Direct
Obligation. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other
Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust
any right or remedy against, any Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other
Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust
any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or
indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party under any Loan Document shall
be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive
of any other rights or remedies provided by any Requirement of
Law. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and
irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants
not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any valuation,
stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights
or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of
the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law,
such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days
before such sale or other disposition.
(f) Commercially
Reasonable. To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law
impose duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially
reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not
commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to do any of the
following:
(i) fail
to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as
such by the Administrative Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or
otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or
other finished products for disposition;
(ii) fail
to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to Dispose of
or for the collection or Disposition of any Collateral, or, if not required by
other Requirements of Law, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the
collection or disposition of any Collateral;
(iii) fail
to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any
Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims
against any Collateral;
(iv) advertise
dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or to
contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for
expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;
(v) exercise
collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any
Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other
collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in
the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a
specialized nature or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative
Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and
other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or
disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the
auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the
reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to
dispose of any Collateral;
20
(vi) dispose
of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;
(vii) disclaim
disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment;
or
(viii) purchase
insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against
risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the
Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of
any Collateral.
Each
Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.1 is
to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially
reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other
actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially
unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6.1. Without
limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.1
shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on
the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this
Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section 6.1.
(g) License. For
the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Section 6.1
(including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process,
appropriate, remove, realize upon, Dispose of or grant options to purchase any
Collateral) at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled
to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable,
nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to
sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property constituting Collateral
now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which
any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and
programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
Section 6.2 Accounts and Payments in
Respect of General Intangibles. (a) In addition to, and not in
substitution for, any similar requirement in the Credit Agreement, if required
by the Administrative Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of
Default, any payment of accounts constituting Collateral or payment in respect
of general intangibles constituting Collateral, when collected by any Grantor,
shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by
such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Administrative Agent, in a Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the
Administrative Agent as provided in Section 6.4. Until
so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of such
Grantor. Each such deposit of proceeds of accounts constituting
Collateral and payments in respect of general intangibles constituting
Collateral shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the
nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
21
(b) At
any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) each
Grantor shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, deliver to the
Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating
to, the Contractual Obligations constituting Collateral and transactions that
gave rise to any account constituting Collateral or any payment in respect of
general intangibles constituting Collateral, including all original orders,
invoices and shipping receipts and notify account debtors that such accounts or
general intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent
and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the
Administrative Agent.
(ii) the
Administrative Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of
an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect
any and all payments under Mortgages, including without limitation accounts,
chattel paper and general intangibles, and its accounts constituting Collateral
or amounts due under general intangibles constituting Collateral or any thereof
(all of the foregoing, “Specified
Collateral”) and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate
with account debtors or obligors with respect thereto to verify with them to the
Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any
Specified Collateral or direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment
in respect of Specified Collateral directly to Administrative Agent or as
Administrative Agent shall direct. In addition, the Administrative
Agent may at any time enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors
and obligors of any Specified Collateral. Upon request of
Administrative Agent, Grantors shall provide to Administrative Agent signed,
undated notices, on such Grantor’s letterhead, notifying account debtors or
obligors of any Specified Collateral that the Specified Collateral has been
transferred and directing such account debtors and obligors no longer to make
payment to such Grantor, but to make payment in respect of Specified Collateral
directly to Administrative Agent or as Administrative Agent shall
direct.
(iii) each
Grantor shall take all actions, deliver all documents and provide all
information necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to
ensure any Internet Domain Name constituting Collateral is
registered.
(c) Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
each account and each payment in respect of general intangibles to observe and
perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it
thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise
thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability
under any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a
general intangible by reason of or arising out of any Loan Document or the
receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any
Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any
Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an account or a
payment in respect of a general intangible, to make any payment, to make any
inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as
to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or
file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the
payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.
22
Section 6.3 Pledged
Collateral. (a) Voting
Rights. During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon
notice by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, the
Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent,
corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral constituting
Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may
be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of such Pledged Collateral or otherwise
and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other
right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral constituting
Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to
exchange at its discretion any such Pledged Collateral upon the merger,
amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of
Pledged Stock constituting Collateral, the right to deposit and deliver any such
Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or
other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative
Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property
actually received by it; provided, however, that the
Administrative 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) Proxies. In
order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other
consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to
receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive
hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to
be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all such proxies,
dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may
from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect
of clause (i)
above, such Grantor hereby revokes all previous proxies with respect to the
Pledged Collateral constituting Collateral and grants to the Administrative
Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral
constituting Collateral and to exercise 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 shareholders, partners or
members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners
or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which 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 other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or
any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and
which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured
Obligations.
(c) Authorization of
Issuers. Each Grantor hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes
and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each issuer
of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply
with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing
that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such
issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying
and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or
make any other payment with respect to such Pledged Collateral directly to the
Administrative Agent.
23
(d) Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) each Grantor shall remain liable
under any Pledged Collateral Agreement and any other contracts, agreements and
other documents to which it is a party included in the Collateral, to the extent
set forth therein, to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to
the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by
Secured Party of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from
any of its duties or obligations under any such Pledged Collateral Agreement or
other contracts, agreements and other documents, and (iii) Secured Parties shall
not have any obligation or liability under any such Pledged Collateral
Agreements or other contracts, agreements and other documents by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect
or enforce any Pledged Collateral Agreements or other such contract, agreement
or other document.
Section 6.4 Proceeds to be Turned over
to and Held by Administrative Agent. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise expressly
provided in the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, all proceeds of any
Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall
be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall,
promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent
in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement). All such
proceeds of Collateral and any other proceeds of any Collateral received by the
Administrative Agent in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the
Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account. All proceeds being held
by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust
for the Administrative Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security
for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until
applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.
Section 6.5 Registration
Rights. (a) If, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, it
is necessary or advisable to Dispose of any portion of the Pledged Collateral
constituting Collateral by registering such Pledged Collateral under the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”),
each relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to do or cause to be done
all acts as may be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or
advisable to register such Pledged Collateral or that portion thereof to be
Disposed of under the provisions of the Securities Act, all as directed by the
Administrative Agent in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
applicable thereto and in compliance with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any
jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent shall designate.
(b) Each
Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a
public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws
or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable
or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall 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 Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to
delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to
permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the
Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer
would agree to do so.
24
(c) Each
Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any
portion of the Pledged Collateral constituting Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.5
valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Requirements of
Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant
contained in this Section 6.5 will
cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties,
that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate
remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and
every covenant contained in this Section 6.5
shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby
waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific
performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has
occurred under the Credit Agreement.
Section 6.6 Deficiency. Each
Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or
other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured
Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency (in
the case of Parent, subject to Section
2.2(b)).
ARTICLE VII
SUBORDINATION
Section 7.1 Subordination. Each
Grantor agrees that all payments on account of any Indebtedness owing to such
Grantor by any other Grantor (excluding that owed by CPM to Parent) (“Intercompany Debt”)
shall be subject, subordinate and junior, in right of payment and exercise of
remedies, to the prior to the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of
all Loans and all other Secured Obligations, and all Liens (if any) now or
hereafter existing in favor of any Grantor in respect of any Collateral shall be
subject, subordinate and junior in all respects and at all times to the Liens
now or hereafter existing of the Secured Parties therein. Each
Secured Party shall be deemed to have acquired the Secured Obligations in
reliance upon this Article
VII.
Section 7.2 Restrictions on Payment and
Transfer. Each Grantor agrees (i) not to collect, or to
receive payment upon, by setoff or in any other manner, all or any portion of
the Intercompany Debt owing to it, except as expressly permitted by the Loan
Documents, and (ii) not to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or xxxxx x Xxxx on
any such Intercompany Debt.
ARTICLE VIII
THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 8.1 Administrative Agent’s
Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any Related
Person 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, for
the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Loan Documents, to take any
appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may be
necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Loan Documents, and,

moneys due under any account or general intangible constituting Collateral or
with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in
the case of any Intellectual Property constituting Collateral owned by or
licensed to the Grantors, execute, deliver and have recorded any document that

the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate, (G) assign any Intellectual
Property constituting Collateral owned by the Grantors or any IP Licenses
constituting Collateral of the Grantors throughout the world on such terms and
conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole

Dispose of, xxxxx x Xxxx on, make any Contractual Obligation with respect to and
otherwise deal with, any Collateral as fully and completely as though the
Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and do, at
the Administrative Agent’s option, at any time or from time to time, all acts
and things that the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon any Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein
and to effect the intent of the Loan Documents, all as fully and effectively as
such Grantor might do.
26
(b) If
any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any Contractual Obligation contained
herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so
to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with
such Contractual Obligation.

expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions
undertaken as provided in this Section 8.1,
together with interest thereon at a rate set forth in Section 2.8 of
the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to

the Administrative Agent on demand.
(d) Each
Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this Section 8.1. 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.
Section 8.2
Authorization to File
Financing Statements. Each Grantor authorizes the
Administrative Agent and its Related Persons, at any time and from time to time,
to file or record financing statements, amendments thereto, and other filing or
recording documents or instruments with respect to any Collateral in such form
and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines
appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may described the
Collateral covered thereby (other than the Limited Collateral) as “all assets of
the debtor”. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement
shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording
document or instrument for filing or recording in any
jurisdiction. Such Grantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for
the Administrative Agent to have filed any initial financing statement or
amendment thereto under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any
jurisdiction if filed prior to the date hereof.
Section 8.3 Authority of Administrative
Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect
to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise
by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or

Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured
Parties, 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
Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties 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.
27
Section 8.4 Duty; Obligations and
Liabilities. (a) Duty of Administrative
Agent. The Administrative 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 Administrative
Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers
conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The
Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a
result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Related
Persons shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition,
the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or
damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason
of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency,
consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by the Administrative
Agent in good faith.
(b) Obligations and Liabilities
with respect to Collateral. No Secured Party and no Related
Person thereof shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon
any 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 any
Collateral. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall not impose any duty upon any other Secured Party to exercise any
such powers. The other 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 respective 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 as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous
Section 9.1 Reinstatement. Each
Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Loan Party or other Person and
applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside,
rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise
required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are
required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Loan Party, its estate,
trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing
such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such
payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing,
(a) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability
hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or
(b) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated,
cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be
reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination,
cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or
otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or
other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such
payment.
28
Section 9.2 Release of
Collateral. (a) At the time provided in Section 10.10(b)(iii)
of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral shall be released from the Lien created
hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated
to survive such termination) of the Administrative 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. Each Grantor is hereby authorized to file UCC amendments at
such time evidencing the termination of the Liens so released. At the
request of any Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent
shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the
Administrative Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such
documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.
(b) If
the Administrative Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to Section 10.10(b)(i)
or (ii) of the
Credit Agreement to release any Lien or any Collateral, such Collateral shall be
released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided thereunder, and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. In connection
therewith, the Administrative Agent, at the request of any Grantor, shall
execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence such release.
(c) At
the time provided in Section 10.10(a)
of the Credit Agreement and at the request of the Borrowers, a Grantor shall be
released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Securities of
such Grantor shall be Disposed of to any Person that is not an Affiliate any
Borrower and the Subsidiaries of any Borrower in a transaction permitted by the
Loan Documents.
Section 9.3 Independent
Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are
independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guaranteed
Obligations. If any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation is
not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may,
at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any
Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured
Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against
any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Collateral and without
first joining any other Grantor or any other Loan Party in any
proceeding.
Section 9.4 No Waiver by Course of
Conduct. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to Section 9.6),
delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of
Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the
part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A
waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion
shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party
would otherwise have on any future occasion.
29
Section 9.5
Amendments in
Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may
be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with
Section 11.1 of
the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that annexes
to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be
modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and
Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1 and
Annex 2,
respectively, in each case duly executed by the Administrative Agent and each
Grantor directly affected thereby.
Section 9.6 Additional Grantors;
Additional Pledged Collateral. (a) Joinder
Agreements. If, at the option of the Borrowers or as required
pursuant to Section 7.10 of
the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a
Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of
Annex 2
and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same
rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing
Date.
(b) Pledge
Amendments. To the extent any Pledged Collateral constituting
Collateral has not been delivered as of the Closing Date, or any Grantor
acquires any Pledged Collateral comprising a direct or indirect interest in any
Stock of Mortgage SPV, such Grantor shall deliver a pledge amendment duly
executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a
“Pledge
Amendment”) with respect to such Pledged Collateral. Such
Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to
this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Notices. All
notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor
hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.11 of
the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any
such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the
Borrowers’ notice address set forth in such Section 11.11.
Section 9.8 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors
and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Secured Party
and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that no
Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent.
Section 9.9 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate
counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an
executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
Section 9.10 Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of this Agreement or any part of
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
30
Section 9.11 Governing
Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance
with, the law of the State of New York.
Section 9.12 Waiver
of Jury Trial. Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably waives trial by jury in any suit, action or
proceeding with respect to, or directly or indirectly arising out of, under or
in connection with, any loan document or the transactions contemplated therein
or related thereto (whether founded in contract, tort or any other
theory). Each party hereto (A) certifies that no other party and
no Related Person of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise,
that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the
foregoing waiver and (B) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto
have been induced to enter into this agreement by the mutual waivers and
certifications in this Section 9.12.
