such asset pursuant hereto as promptly as practicable.
Section 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures, in the
------------------------
case of each Grantor, the payment of all Obligations of such Grantor now or
hereafter existing under the Loan Documents and the secured Hedge Agreements,
whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal,
reimbursement obligations, interest, fees, premiums, penalties,
indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (all
such Obligations being the "Secured Obligations"). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the
payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would
be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for
the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party.
Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary
----------------------
notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and
agreements included in such Grantor's 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, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent
of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its
duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the
Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under
the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, 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 claim for payment assigned hereunder.
Section 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral. All
-------------------------------------------
certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral shall
be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto
and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied
by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and
substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have
the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to
transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its
nominees any or all of the Security Collateral, subject only to the revocable
rights specified in Section 14(a).
(a) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has
any right, title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security, at
the request of the Collateral Agent such Grantor will cause the issuer thereof
either (i) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such
security or (ii) to agree in writing with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent
that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security
originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such
agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
Section 5. Maintaining the L/C Collateral Account. So long as any
--------------------------------------------------
Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall
remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or any Lender shall
have any Commitment under the Credit
8
Agreement the Borrower will maintain the L/C Collateral Account with the
Collateral Agent. It shall be a term and condition of the L/C Collateral
Account, notwithstanding any term or condition to the contrary in any other
agreement relating to the L/C Collateral Account, and except as otherwise
provided by the provisions of Sections 7 and 20, that no amount (including
interest on Cash Equivalents credited thereto) will be paid or released to or
for the account of, or withdrawn by or for the account of, the Borrower or any
other Person from the L/C Collateral Account.
Section 6. Investing of Amounts in the L/C Collateral Account. The
--------------------------------------------------------------
Collateral Agent will, subject to the provisions of Sections 7 and 20, (a)
invest amounts received with respect to the L/C Collateral Account in such Cash
Equivalents credited to the L/C Collateral Account as the Borrower may select
and (b) invest interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (a)
above, and reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature
or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited to the L/C Collateral
Account as the Borrower may select. Interest and proceeds that are not invested
or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as provided above shall be deposited and held
in a deposit account with the Collateral Agent and under the sole control and
dominion of the Collateral Agent, such deposit account to be deemed to
constitute part of the L/C Collateral Account. In addition, the Collateral Agent
shall have the right to exchange such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash
Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents,
credited to the L/C Collateral Account.
Section 7. Release of Amounts. So long as no Default shall have
------------------------------
occurred and be continuing and there are no unpaid Obligations under the Loan
Documents, the Collateral Agent will pay and release to the Borrower or at its
order such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account
to the extent permitted to be released under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

misappropriates the Intellectual Property Collateral or upon the
rights of such Grantor therein. Except as set forth on Schedule IV
hereto, such Grantor has not granted any license, release, covenant
not to xxx, non-assertion assurance, or other right to any Person with
respect to any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral. The
consummation of the Transaction will not result in the termination or
impairment of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral in a manner
that would constitute a Material Adverse Effect.
11
(vii) With respect to each License: (A) such License will not
cease to be valid and binding and in full force and effect on terms
identical to those currently in effect as a result of the rights and
interest granted herein, nor will the grant of such rights and
interest constitute a breach or default under such License or
otherwise give the licensor or licensee a right to terminate such
License; (B) except as set forth on Schedule VII hereto, such Grantor
has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such
License; (C) except as set forth on Schedule VII hereto, such Grantor
has not received any notice of a breach or default under such License,
which breach or default has not been cured; and (D) such Grantor has
not granted to any other third party any rights, adverse or otherwise,
under such License.
Section 9. Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that from time to
------------------
time, at the expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that
may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge, assignment or security
interest granted or purported to be granted by such Grantor hereunder or to
enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Grantor will promptly with respect to
Collateral of such Grantor: (i) at the request of the Collateral Agent, xxxx
conspicuously each of its records pertaining to such Collateral with a legend,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, indicating that
Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereby; (ii) if any such
Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument or
chattel paper, deliver and pledge to the Collateral Agent hereunder such note or
instrument or chattel paper duly indorsed and accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent; (iii) execute and file such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may
be necessary or desirable, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in
order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be
granted by such Grantor hereunder; (iv) deliver and pledge to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties certificates representing Security
Collateral that constitutes certificated securities, accompanied by undated
stock or bond powers executed in blank; and (v) deliver to the Collateral Agent
evidence that all other action that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably
necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect the security interest
created by such Grantor under this Agreement has been taken.
(a) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file one
or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating
to all or any part of the Collateral of such Grantor without the signature of
such Grantor where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this
Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof
shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(b) Each Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to
time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral
of such Grantor and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
12
Section 10. As to Equipment and Inventory. Each Grantor will keep the
Equipment and Inventory of such Grantor (other than Inventory sold in the
ordinary course of business) at the places therefor specified in Section 8(a)
or, except in circumstances governed by Section 5.01(j) of the Credit Agreement,
upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, at such other places
in a jurisdiction where all action required by Section 9 shall have been taken
with respect to such Equipment and Inventory (and, upon the taking of such
action in such jurisdiction, Schedule II hereto shall be automatically amended
to include such other places). In any case governed by Section 5.01(j) of the
Credit Agreement, such Grantor will comply with the provisions of such section.
(a) In all cases subject to its rights to sell or dispose of
obsolete, damaged or worn-out items, or items that are no longer useful, as
provided in Section 5.02(e)(iv) of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor will cause
the Equipment of such Grantor to be maintained and preserved in the good
condition, repair and working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and will
forthwith, or in the case of any loss or damage to any of such Equipment as soon
as practicable after the occurrence thereof, make or cause to be made all
repairs, replacements and other improvements in connection therewith that are
necessary or desirable to such end.
(b) Each Grantor will pay promptly when due all property and other
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all
claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies)
against, the Equipment and Inventory of such Grantor, except to the extent
payment thereof is not required by Section 5.01(b) of the Credit Agreement.
Section 11. Insurance. Each Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain
---------
insurance with respect to the Equipment and Inventory of such Grantor in such
amounts, against such risks, in such form and with such insurers, as required
under Section 5.01(d) of the Credit Agreement. Each policy of each Grantor for
liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of the
Collateral Agent and such Grantor as their interests may appear, and each policy
for property damage insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid directly
to the Collateral Agent during the continuance of a Default. Each such policy
shall in addition (i) name such Grantor and the Collateral Agent as insured
parties thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon
the Collateral Agent) as their interests may appear, (ii) contain the agreement
by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Collateral Agent
notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or warranty by
such Grantor, (iii) provide that there shall be no recourse against the
Collateral Agent for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto
and (iv) provide that at least 10 days' prior written notice of cancellation or
of lapse shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer. Each Grantor
will, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent
original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with
respect to such insurance. Further, each Grantor will, at the request of the
Collateral Agent, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such
insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 9 and cause the
insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
(a) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any
Grantor pursuant to this Section 11 may be paid directly to the Person who shall
have incurred liability
13
covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to Equipment or
Inventory when subsection (c) of this Section 11 is not applicable, the
applicable Grantor will make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or
replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance
properly received by or released to such Grantor shall be used by such Grantor,
except as otherwise required or permitted hereunder or under the Credit
Agreement, to pay, or as reimbursement for, the costs of such repairs or
replacements.
(b) So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all
insurance payments received by the Collateral Agent in connection with any loss,
damage or destruction of any Inventory or Equipment will be released by the
Collateral Agent to the applicable Grantor for the repair, replacement or
restoration thereof, subject to such terms and conditions with respect to the
release thereof as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require. To the extent
that (i) the amount of any such insurance payments exceeds the cost of any such
repair, replacement or restoration, or (ii) such insurance payments are not
otherwise required by the applicable Grantor to complete any such repair,
replacement or restoration required hereunder, the Collateral Agent will release
the amount thereof to such Grantor except during the continuance of any Default
and during which period the Collateral Agent may hold or continue to hold such
amount as additional security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor.
During the continuance of any Default, all insurance payments in respect of such
Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to the Collateral Agent and shall, in the
Collateral Agent's sole discretion, (i) be released to the applicable Grantor to
be applied as set forth in the first sentence of this subsection (c) or (ii) be
held as additional Collateral hereunder or applied as specified in Section
20(b).
Section 12. Place of Perfection; Records; Collection of Receivables.
-------------------------------------------------------
Each Grantor will keep its chief executive office at the location therefor
specified in Section 8(a) or, upon 30 days' prior written notice to the
Collateral Agent, at such other location in a jurisdiction where all actions
required by Section 9 shall have been taken with respect to the Collateral of
such Grantor (and, upon the taking of such action in such jurisdiction, Schedule
III hereto shall be automatically amended to include such other location). Each
Grantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral and will
permit representatives of the Collateral Agent at any time during normal
business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other
documents.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), each Grantor
will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due
such Grantor under the Receivables and the Related Contracts. In connection with
such collections, such Grantor may take (and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, at the Collateral Agent's direction, will take) such action as such
Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce
collection of the Receivables and the Related Contracts; provided, however, that
the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such
Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the Obligors under any Receivables
or Related Contracts of the assignment of such Receivables or Related Contracts
to the Collateral Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all
amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the
Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor,
to enforce collection of any such Receivables or Related Contracts, 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. After
14
receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Collateral Agent referred to in
the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including
instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Receivables and the
Related Contracts of such Grantor shall be received in trust for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such
Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be deposited in the
Collateral Account and either, as the Collateral Agent may in its sole
discretion determine, (A) released to such Grantor or (B) applied as provided in
Section 20(b) and (ii) such Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment of any Receivable, release wholly or partly any Obligor
thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon. No Grantor will permit or
consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the
Receivables or the Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or obligations of
the Obligor thereof.
Section 13. As to Intellectual Property Collateral. With respect to
--------------------------------------
each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees, unless
and until each Grantor, in its reasonable commercial judgment, decides
otherwise, to take, at its expense, all necessary steps, including, without
limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office
and any other governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and
enforceability of each such item of Intellectual Property Collateral and
maintain each such item of Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and
effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent,
trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included
in the Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without
limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to
office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications
for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of
the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-
part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance
fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition,
cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings. No Grantor shall,
without the written consent of the Collateral Agent upon or after an Event of
Default, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property
Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for letters patent,
trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined
that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property
Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor's business and
that the loss thereof would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. In the case of any material Intellectual Property Collateral, such
Grantor will give prompt notice of any such abandonment to the Collateral Agent.
(a) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if
such Grantor learns (i) that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral
may have become abandoned, placed in the public domain, invalid or
unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development regarding such
Grantor's ownership of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral or its right
to register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the same, or (ii) of
any adverse determination or the institution of any proceeding (including,
without limitation, the institution of any proceeding in the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office or any court) regarding any item of the Intellectual Property
Collateral, if in any such case, such development would be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
15
(b) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of the
Intellectual Property Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a
third party, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall
take such actions, at its expense, as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent deems
reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual
Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for infringement or
misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or
misappropriation, if in any such case, such development would be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Each Grantor shall take all steps which it deems reasonable and
appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each item of its
Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the
quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with
any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services
as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all
licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such consistent standards of
quality.
(d) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each
Grantor agrees to execute an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit B hereto (an "Intellectual Property Security Agreement"), for recording
the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent in such
Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the
U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to
perfect the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property
Collateral.
(e) Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest
in any material item of the type set forth in Section 1(g) which is not on the
date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (the "After-Acquired
Intellectual Property"), (i) the provisions of Section 1 shall automatically
apply thereto, (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the
case of trademarks, the goodwill of the business connected therewith or
symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect
thereto, (iii) such Grantor shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Collateral Agent in accordance herewith and (iv) such Grantor shall execute and
deliver to the Collateral Agent an IP Security Agreement Supplement covering
such After-Acquired Intellectual Property as "Additional Collateral" thereunder
and as defined therein, and shall record such IP Security Agreement Supplement
with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any
other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest
hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property.
Section 14. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. So long as no Default
------------------------------
shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and
other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such
Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided however, that such
Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such
action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security
Collateral or any part thereof.
16
(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security
Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is
not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents; provided,
however, that any and all
(A) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable
other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property
received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in
exchange for, any Security Collateral,
(B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in
respect of any Security Collateral (other than in respect of any
Subsidiary of the Borrower as provided in Section 5.02(e)(iii) of the
Credit Agreement) in connection with a partial or total liquidation or
dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital
surplus or paid-in-surplus and
(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of
principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Security
Collateral (other than in respect of any Subsidiary of the Borrower as
provided in Section 5.02(e)(iii) of the Credit Agreement)
shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold
as, Security Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received
in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, be segregated from the
other property or funds of such Grantor and be forthwith delivered to the
Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsement).
(iii) The Collateral Agent will 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 that it is
entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the
dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default:
(i) All rights of each Grantor (x) to exercise or refrain from
exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise
be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 14(a)(i) shall, upon notice to
such Grantor by the Collateral Agent, cease and (y) to receive the
dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 14(a)(ii) shall
automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in
the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise
or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to
receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other
distributions; and
(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received
by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section
14(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent,
shall be segregated from other funds of
17
such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as
Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement).
Section 15. As to the Assigned Agreements. Each Grantor will at its
------------------------------
expense:
(i) from time to time (A) furnish to the Collateral Agent such
information and reports regarding the Assigned Agreements and such other
Collateral of such Grantor as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request
and (B) upon request of the Collateral Agent make to each other party to
any Assigned Agreement to which it is a party such demands and requests for
information and reports or for action as such Grantor is entitled to make
thereunder.
(b) Each Grantor agrees after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, not to:
(i) cancel or terminate any Assigned Agreement to which it is a
party or consent to or accept any cancellation or termination thereof;
(ii) amend, amend and restate, supplement or otherwise modify any
such Assigned Agreement or give any consent, waiver or approval thereunder;
(iii) waive any default under or breach of any such Assigned
Agreement; or
(iv) take any other action in connection with any such Assigned
Agreement that would impair the value of the interests or rights of such
Grantor thereunder or that would impair the interests or rights of any
Secured Party.
(c) Each Grantor hereby consents on its behalf and on behalf of its
Subsidiaries to the assignment and pledge to the Collateral Agent for benefit of
the Secured Parties of each Assigned Agreement to which it is a party by any
other Grantor hereunder.
Section 16. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Share. Each
--------------------------------------------
Grantor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or
grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales,
assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to
Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or
suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of such
Grantor except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created under
this Agreement and Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will (i) cause each issuer of the
Pledged Shares pledged by such Grantor not to issue any stock or other
securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Shares issued by
such issuer, except to such Grantor, and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon
its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional shares
of stock or other securities.
Section 17. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each
--------------------------------------------
Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent such Grantor's attorney
-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the
name of such Grantor or otherwise,
18
from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion, to take any action and
to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 11,
(b) to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise,
receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due
under or in respect of any of the Collateral,
(c) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above,
and
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for
the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance
with the terms and conditions of any Assigned Agreement or the rights of
the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
provided however, that the Collateral Agent shall not exercise any rights
referred to above unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Section 18. Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to
-----------------------------
perform any agreement contained herein, within the time provided or allowed, the
Collateral Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice,
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expense of the
Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such
Grantor under Section 21(b).
Section 19. The Collateral Agent's Duties. The powers conferred
------------------------------
on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties'
interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any
such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and
the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral
Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking
action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has
or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in
its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which it accords its own property.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be
necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a "Subagent") for the Collateral
Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event
that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any
Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security
interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed
for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in
addition to the Collateral Agent,
19
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured
Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested,
in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges,
interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such
Collateral, and (iii) the term "Collateral Agent," when used herein in relation
to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral
Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided,
however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with
respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly
authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.
Section 20. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred
---------
and be continuing:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral,
in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon
default under the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the N.Y.
Uniform Commercial Code applies to the affected Collateral) and also may:
(i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at
its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble
all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make
it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated
by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii)
without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part
thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the
Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem
commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any
of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or
located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and
remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in
respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and
remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Assigned
Agreements, the Receivables and the Related Contracts or otherwise in
respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all
rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount
under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the
Receivables and the Related Contracts. Each Grantor agrees that, to the
extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' 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 Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale
of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The
Collateral Agent 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 place to which it was so
adjourned.
(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all
cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect
of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part
of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held
by the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time
thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral
Agent pursuant to Section 21) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent
for
20
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of
the Secured Obligations, in the following manner:
(i) first, to the Agents for any amounts owing to the Agents
pursuant to Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise under
the Loan Documents, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts
then owing to the Agents;
(ii) second, deposited as Collateral in the L/C Collateral
Account up to an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate Available
Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, provided that in the
event that any such Letter of Credit is drawn, the Collateral Agent
shall pay to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit the
amount held in the L/C Collateral Account in respect of such Letter of
Credit, provided further that, to the extent that any such Letter of
Credit shall expire or terminate undrawn and as a result thereof the
amount of the Collateral in the L/C Collateral Account shall exceed
the aggregate Available Amount of all then outstanding Letters of
Credit, such excess amount of such Collateral shall be applied in
accordance with the order of priority set out in this Section 20(b);
(iii) third, to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank for any
amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, under the
Loan Documents ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then
owing to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank; and
(iv) fourth, to the Lender Parties for any amount then owing to
them under the Loan Documents ratably in accordance with such
respective amounts then owing to the Lender Parties.
Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the
Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured
Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
(c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with
any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be
received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be
segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid
over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any
necessary endorsement).
(d) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except
as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off
and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any
funds held in the L/C Collateral Account or in any other deposit account.
(e) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill of the
business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such
sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall
supply to the Collateral Agent or its designee such Grantor's know-how and
expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual
21
Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such
Grantor's customer lists and other records and documents relating to such
Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution,
advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.
Section 21. Indemnity and Expenses. Each Grantor agrees to
-----------------------
