12
Power of Attorney is subject to the Intercreditor Provisions of the Indenture. TRUSTEE NOR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY GRANTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
7. REMEDIES: RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT. Except as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Provisions of the Indenture:
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Indenture, any Note Security Document and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Note Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Trustee may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Trustee’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Trustee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of Trustee, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. Trustee shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as Trustee deems necessary or advisable.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continued, each Grantor further agrees, at Trustee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Trustee at a place or places designated by Trustee which are reasonably convenient to Trustee and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Until Trustee is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Trustee shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Trustee. Trustee shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Trustee. Trustee may, if
13
it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Trustee’s remedies (for the benefit of Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Trustee shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Note Obligations as provided in the Indenture, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by Trustee of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Trustee account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Trustee arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Trustee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Trustee of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Trustee to collect such deficiency.
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Trustee to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees to the extent it may do so under applicable law that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Trustee (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Trustee to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Trustee against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Trustee a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Trustee, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Trustee in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Trustee would
14
not be commercially unreasonable in the Trustee’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Trustee shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on Trustee that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).
(d) The Trustee shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Note Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. The Trustee shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Note Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Note Security Document shall be cumulative. 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 Trustee, 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 which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.
8. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. Solely for the purpose of enabling Trustee to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 7 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Trustee, for the benefit of Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property and all registered and unregistered U.S. and foreign patents, trademarks, copyrights, applications therefor and licenses with respect thereto and tradenames, trade secrets, servicemarks and know-how, manufacturing processes and formulas now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, provided that Trustee agrees to pay and remit any royalty payments which may be owed under any License as a result of Trustee’s exercise of rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof. Trustee shall only exercise its rights pursuant to the foregoing license upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Provisions of the Indenture.
9. LIMITATION ON TRUSTEE’S DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL. Trustee shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Trustee shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Trustee, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
15
10. REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Note Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Note Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
11. NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Indenture.
12. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Indenture and the other Note Security Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Trustee and Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.
13. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Trustee shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Trustee and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Trustee of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Trustee would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Trustee, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. Except as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Provisions of the Indenture or Section 11.04 of the Indenture, none of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Trustee and Grantors.
16
14. LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
15. TERMINATION AND RELEASES
(a) Subject to Section 10 hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date. On the Termination Date, Trustee shall, at the sole expense of the Grantors, take all actions and deliver releases of the security interests granted hereby at the request of any Grantor.
(b) Each Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interests in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released (i) upon the consummation of any transaction expressly permitted by the Indenture (and which would not result in an Event of Default) as a result of which such Grantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) otherwise as is permitted in accordance with the terms of the Indenture including the Intercreditor Provisions of the Indenture and provisions of Section 11.04 thereof.
(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is expressly permitted under the Indenture (and which would not result in an Event of Default) to any Person that is not a Grantor, or upon any release of the security interest granted hereby as is permitted the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture including the provisions of Section 11.04 thereof and the Intercreditor Provisions of the Indenture.
(d) In connection with any release of the security interests in any Collateral of a Grantor pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 15, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to such Grantor at such Grantor’s sole expense all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 15 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Trustee.
16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Trustee, for the benefit of Secured Parties, hereunder, inure to the benefit of Secured Parties, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Note Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Note Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to Trustee, for the benefit of Secured Parties, hereunder. No Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement.
17
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement. This Security Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by Trustee, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.
18. GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE OR NOTE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN GRANTORS AND TRUSTEE PERTAINING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, THAT TRUSTEE AND GRANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE TRUSTEE FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE NOTE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF TRUSTEE. EACH GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE.
19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
18
ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG TRUSTEE AND GRANTORS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
20. SECTION TITLES. The Section titles contained in this Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.
21. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.
22. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Section 18 and Section 19, with its counsel.
23. BENEFIT OF SECURED PARTIES. All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of Secured Parties, and all proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Note Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indenture including the Intercreditor Provisions of the Indenture.
24. INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the security interest of the Trustee granted hereunder and the performance by the Trustee of its obligations under this Agreement and the exercise of its rights hereunder is subject in all respects to the Intercreditor Provisions of the Indenture.
