(c)            Upon obtaining an interest therein (subject to the time period specified in Section 7.17(a) or any comparable provision of the Credit Agreement), unless waived by the Agent in writing (which waiver may be revoked at any time and from time to time), each Grantor shall obtain control or blocked account agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (provided that such control or blocked account agreements shall be deemed to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent if such control or blocked account agreements are substantially consistent with any control or blocked account agreements in effect as of the date hereof) executed and delivered by (i) each securities intermediary, futures intermediary, and commodities intermediary issuing or holding any financial assets, futures or commodities to or for such Grantor, except for securities, futures and commodities accounts of the Grantors that are not Material Accounts, and (ii) each depository bank at which such Grantor maintains a Material Account.

(e)            [Reserved.]

 

(f)             Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any PPSA, UCC, Quebec Civil Code (“CCQ”) or other applicable filing office any financing statements or amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral (A) as all assets of such Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of the PPSA, the CCQ or the personal property security legislation of any other jurisdiction, or (B) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (ii) contain any other information required by such jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including where applicable whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to such Grantor. Each Grantor agrees to furnish any such information to the Agent promptly upon request. Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have filed in any UCC, PPSA, CCQ or other applicable filing office any like financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

(k)            Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement or financing change statement with respect to any financing statement filed by or in favour of the Agent without the prior written consent of the Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of the Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 23(f) hereof.

The Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, pay any amount or do any act required of any Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document in order to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce the Secured Obligations, any material portion of the Collateral or the Agent’s Liens therein, and which any Grantor fails to pay or do following notice by the Agent to Grantors (unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, or unless the Agent, acting reasonably, believes exigent circumstances may exist, in which events, no such notice shall be required), including payment of any judgment against any Grantor, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord’s or bailee’s claim, and any other Lien upon or with respect to the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Agent’s Lien in the Collateral and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Agent’s Lien and the filing of any PPSA financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith, to the extent required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; and (b) the Agent may discharge past due Taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. All payments that the Agent makes in accordance with this Section 12 and all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall be charged as a Canadian Revolving Loan, and the Agent agrees to notify the Company thereof; provided that neither the Agent’s right to make any such payments and charge the same as a Canadian Revolving Loan, nor the Canadian Borrowers’ obligation to repay any such Canadian Revolving Loan, shall be conditioned in any way upon the Agent’s providing such notification. Any payment made or other action taken by the Agent under this Section 12 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein provided.

 

Section 13.    Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent and the Agent’s designee or bailee as such Grantor’s attorney, with power exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) to endorse such Grantor’s name on any cheques, notes, acceptances, money orders, or other forms of payment or security that come into the Agent’s or any of the other Secured Parties’ possession; (b) to sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice, xxxx of lading, warehouse receipt or other negotiable or non-negotiable Document constituting the Collateral, on drafts against customers, on assignments of Accounts, on notices of assignment, financing statements and other public records and to file any such financing statements by electronic means with or without a signature as authorized or required by applicable law or filing procedure; (c) to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Grantor’s mail to an address designated by the Agent and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor; (d) in consultation with the Company (such consultation not to be required when a Specified Default has occurred and is continuing) to send requests for verification of Accounts and Leases (other than Accounts and Leases subject to any Securitization Transactions) to Account Debtors and lessees; (e) to complete in such Grantor’s name or the Agent’s name, any order, sale, lease or transaction, obtain the necessary Documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof; (f) to clear Inventory through customs in such Grantor’s name, the Agent’s name or the name of the Agent’s designee or bailee, and to sign and deliver to customs officials powers of attorney in such Grantor’s name for such purpose; (g) to the extent that such Grantor’s authorization given in Section 3(d) of this Agreement is not sufficient, to file such PPSA financing statements as are required under this Agreement; and (h) to do all things necessary to carry out the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Grantor ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Credit Agreement has been terminated and Full Payment of the Obligations has occurred.

Section 14.    The Agent’s and the Other Secured Parties’ Rights, Duties and Liabilities. (a) As between the Grantors and the Secured Parties, each Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral. None of the Secured Obligations shall be affected by any failure of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to take any steps to perfect the Agent’s Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of the Secured Obligations. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to (except as required under the Credit Agreement or under any applicable law) or consent from any Grantor, xxx upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of Grantors for the Secured Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter existing between any of the Secured Parties and any Grantor.

 

(b)            It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall remain liable under each Lease and each of its other contracts, agreements and licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have any obligation or liability under any Lease, contract, agreement or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties of any payment relating to any Lease, contract, agreement or license pursuant hereto. Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Lease, contract, agreement or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Lease, contract, agreement or license, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 

 12 

 

 

(c)            With respect to Accounts and Leases, in each case not subject to any Securitization Transaction or Like-Kind Exchange, the Agent may, at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or if any rights of set-off (other than set offs against an Account arising under the contract giving rise to the same Account) or contra accounts may be asserted with respect to the following), without prior notice to any Grantor, notify Account Debtors, parties to Leases and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that the Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon the request of the Agent, each Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on such Collateral. Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on such Collateral and while any Event of Default exists and is continuing, no Grantor shall give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without the Agent’s prior written consent.

 

Section 15.    Patent, Industrial Designs, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. (a) Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Secured Parties that (i) as of the date hereof, such Grantor does not have any ownership interest in, or title to, any material issued or applied-for patents, industrial designs, registered or applied-for trademarks or registered or applied for copyrights (collectively, “Registered Intellectual Property”) except as set forth in Schedule III hereto, and (ii) this Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements referred to in Section 3(d) of this Agreement, the recording of any intellectual property security agreement with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and subsequent filings for any hereafter acquired Registered Intellectual Property are, to the extent that a valid, perfected and continuing Lien in patents, industrial designs, trademarks and/or issued or applied for copyrights, as applicable, can be created upon filing and recording documents of such type and nature, effective to create valid, perfected, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) and continuing Liens in favour of the Agent on such material Registered Intellectual Property.

 

(b)            Each Grantor shall notify the Agent within a reasonable amount of time if it knows that any application or registration relating to any material Registered Intellectual Property (now or hereafter existing) owned or licensed by such Grantor will become abandoned or dedicated, or of any material and adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any material Registered Intellectual Property, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

 

(c)            If, before Full Payment of the Obligations, any Grantor shall obtain ownership of any additional Registered Intellectual Property with respect to goods sold in such Grantor’s business, the Agent shall have a Lien in, and the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply to, such Registered Intellectual Property, and such Grantor shall give to the Agent written notice of such ownership at the time of delivery of the annual financial statements pursuant to Section 7.2(a) of the Credit Agreement and the related Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.2(d) (the “Annual Compliance Certificate”) (or such later date as the Agent may agree) in which such Grantor obtains ownership of such patent, industrial design, trademark, or copyright. This Section 15(c) shall not apply to any Collateral which is owned by others and licensed to any Grantor.

 

 13 

 

 

(d)            Each Grantor authorizes the Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule III to include any additional Registered Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor that is Collateral and not included in Schedule III at the time of delivery of the Annual Compliance Certificate (or such later date as the Agent may agree). The Agent shall provide notice to the Grantors of any amendment or modification to be effected pursuant to this Section 15(d).

 

(e)            At the time of delivery of the Annual Compliance Certificate (or such later date as the Agent may agree), each Grantor shall sign and deliver to the Agent for filing or recordation with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office one or more intellectual property security agreements, or supplements or amendments thereto, with respect to any Registered Intellectual Property acquired after the date hereof and which is Collateral, solely to the extent that such Collateral is not covered by any previous intellectual property security agreement or supplement or amendment thereto so signed and delivered by it.

 

(f)            Each Grantor shall take all commercially reasonable actions to maintain and protect each item of Registered Intellectual Property that is material to the business of the Company, taken as a whole, unless such Grantor shall determine that such item of Registered Intellectual Property is not material to the conduct of its business.

 

(g)            In the event that any Grantor has knowledge of any material Registered Intellectual Property constituting Collateral being infringed upon or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall, to the extent such Grantor deems commercially reasonable, take actions to protect such material Registered Intellectual Property.

 

Section 16.    Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

 

(a)            So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor (i) 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 rights and remedies of the Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) 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 that such Grantor shall deliver and pledge to the Agent any such dividends or distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity to the extent required hereunder.

 

(b)            Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of each Grantor (i) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 16(a)(i) shall, upon written notice to such Grantor by the Agent, cease and (ii) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 16(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the 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.

Section 17.    Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto or to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to save, indemnify and keep the Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favour of, such obligor or its successors from any Grantor, except in the case of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or such other Secured Party. All such obligations of Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and only against Grantors and shall not be enforceable against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties.

 

Section 18.    Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary (a) to defend title to the Collateral owned by it against all Persons claiming an interest therein (other than with respect to Permitted Liens) that is adverse to the interests hereunder of the Agent or other Secured Party, except with respect to Collateral that such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment is immaterial or no longer necessary to the conduct of the business, taken as a whole, and (b) to defend the Security Interest of the Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien that is not a Permitted Lien.

 

Section 19.    Extensions. The Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of security interests in, or obtaining a delivery of documents or other deliverables with respect to, particular assets of any Grantor where it determines that (i) such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or any other Security Documents or (ii) such an extension is otherwise reasonably appropriate.

 

 15 

 

 

Section 20.    Remedies; Rights Upon Default. (a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations or pursuant to any other applicable law, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA or STA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent, 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 PPSA or STA), 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 the Agent’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. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Agent or the other Secured Parties receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice to any Grantor. The Agent or any of the other Secured Parties 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 the Agent and the other Secured Parties, 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. The Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on premises of any Grantor or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as the Agent deems necessary or advisable.

 

(b)            Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent’s request following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place or places designated by the Agent which are reasonably convenient to the Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use the Collateral, or any part thereof, 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 Agent. The Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with respect to the Collateral while the Collateral is in the possession of the Agent or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. In the event the Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by judicial process, each Grantor irrevocably waives (i) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral and (ii) any requirement that the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Secured Obligations first to all expenses of collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, including reasonable legal fees, and then as provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the applicable Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that 10 days’ prior notice by the Agent 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. Each Grantor shall remain liable, jointly and severally with the other Grantors, for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any legal fees or other expenses (to the extent provided for herein or in the Credit Agreement) incurred by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.

 

 16 

 

 

(c)            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 Agreement or any Collateral.

 

(d)            To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare the 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 the 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 the Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on the Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against the Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on the Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of the Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of the Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of the 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 Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of the Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of the Collateral, (xii) to dispose of Leases, Inventory and related Collateral in one or more portfolio sales or in individual sale transactions, or (xiii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 20(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 20(d). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 20(d) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 20(d).

 

 17 

 

 

(e)            Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Agent, if it so elects, shall have the right to seek the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, receiver-manager, or a receiver and manager or keeper (each a “Receiver”) to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s remedies, or may institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such Receiver and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Agent. Any such Receiver shall have the same powers and rights and exclusions and limitations of liability as the Agent has under this Agreement, at law or in equity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Receiver appointed by the Agent shall (for purposes relating to responsibility for the Receiver’s acts or omissions) be considered to be the agent of any such Grantor and not of the Agent. The Agent may from time to time fix the Receiver’s remuneration and the Grantors shall pay the amount of such remuneration to the Agent. The Agent may appoint one or more Receivers hereunder and may remove any such Receiver or Receivers and appoint another or others in his or their stead from time to time. Any Receiver so appointed may be an officer or employee of the Agent. A court need not appoint, ratify the appointment by the Agent, or otherwise supervise in any manner the actions, of any Receiver. Upon a Grantor receiving notice from the Agent of the taking of possession of the Collateral or the appointment of a Receiver, all powers, functions, rights and privileges of each of the directors and officers of the Grantors with respect to the Collateral shall cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Agent.

 

Section 21.    Grant of License to Use Proprietary Rights. Solely for the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 20 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 20 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral), effective solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and exercisable at such time as the Agent shall be otherwise lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, to the extent such Grantor has the right to grant such right or access without additional payment or obligation, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Proprietary Rights 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. Solely with respect to Proprietary Rights in or to trademarks or service marks and trade dress, the license granted under this Section 21 shall be made subject to reasonable quality control obligations reasonably required to maintain the validity and enforceability of such trademarks, service marks, trade dress or distinguishing guise, as applicable.

 

Section 22.    Limitation on the Agent’s and the Other Secured Parties’ Duty in Respect of Collateral. The Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Except as required by applicable law, neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of the Agent or nominee of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

 

 18 

 

 

Section 23.    Miscellaneous.

 

(a)            Reinstatement. This 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 such 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 Secured 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 Secured 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 Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

(b)            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 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 Credit Agreement.

 

(c)            Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this 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 Agreement. This Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of the Agent, the other Secured Parties and Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein; provided that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall govern.

 

(d)            No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Amendments and Additional Grantors.

 

(i)            Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall 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 the Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, 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.

 

 19 

 

 

(ii)            Except as otherwise expressly specified herein, none of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Agent and Grantors. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.

 

(e)            Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this 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 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 Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 

(f)            Termination of this Agreement; Releases.

 

(i)            Subject to Section 23(a) hereof, this Agreement and all security interests and Liens granted hereby shall automatically terminate and be released upon Full Payment of the Obligations.

 

(ii)            The Agent shall release, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to release (if any) set forth in the Credit Agreement, including the continuance of the applicable Agent’s Lien in any proceeds of released Collateral, any such Agent’s Liens upon any applicable Collateral pursuant to the terms of Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(iii)            Upon any Collateral being or becoming an Excluded Asset, the Lien created hereby on such Collateral shall automatically terminate and be released without further actions by any Person. In connection therewith, the Agent, at the request and sole expense of the applicable Grantor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence such termination and release in accordance with Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement.
