(b) Securities Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 5(a), each Grantor agrees that it will, upon obtaining any additional shares of stock or other securities required to be pledged hereunder, promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) deliver to Secured Party a Pledge Supplement, duly executed by such Grantor, in substantially the form of Exhibit IV (a “Pledge Supplement”), in respect of the additional Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement.

Cash held by Secured Party in the Collateral Account shall not be invested by Secured Party but instead shall be maintained as a cash deposit in the Collateral Account pending application thereof as elsewhere provided in this Agreement. To the extent permitted under Regulation Q of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, any cash held in the Collateral Account shall bear interest at the standard rate paid by Secured Party to its customers for deposits of like amounts and terms. Subject to Secured Party’s rights hereunder, any interest earned on deposits of cash in the Collateral Account shall be deposited directly in, and held in the Collateral Account.
13 Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, in Secured Party’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, or in the case of (a) and (e) below, a Potential Event of Default, including:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance (including any claims thereunder) required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to Secured Party pursuant to the Credit Agreement;
(b) to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, 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, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above;
23
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, including Permitted Encumbrances) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion, any such payments made by Secured Party to become obligations of such Grantor to Secured Party, due and payable immediately without demand;
(f) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; and
(g) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Party’s option and Grantors’ expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
14 Secured Party May Perform. |
If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantors under subsections 10.2 and 10.3 of the Credit Agreement and Section 19 hereof.
15 Standard of Care. |
The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property.
16 Remedies. |
(a) Generally. If any “Event of Default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing or upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Date that has not been rescinded (as defined in a Master Agreement in the form prepared by the International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. or a similar event under any similar swap agreement) under any Lender Hedge Agreement that results in a Hedge Termination Value
24
owed by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary greater than $10,000,000 (either such occurrence being an “Event of Default” for purposes of this Agreement), Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, with the consent and at the direction of the Required Lenders in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC 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 Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of such Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, (v) 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 Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise dominion and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any Deposit Account maintained with Secured Party or any Lender constituting a part of the Collateral and provide instructions directing the disposition of funds in Deposit Accounts not maintained with Secured Party or any Lender and (vii) without notice to any Grantor, transfer to or to register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Securities Collateral. Secured Party or any Lender or Hedge Provider may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, as agent for and representative of Lenders and Hedge Providers (but not any Lender or Hedge Provider in its individual capacity unless Requisite Obligees (as defined in Section 21(a)) shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. 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. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party 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. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received
25
and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.
For purposes of this Section 16(a), “Hedge Termination Value” means, in respect of any one or more Lender Hedge Agreements, after taking into account the effect of any legally enforceable netting agreement relating to such Lender Hedge Agreements, (a) for any date on or after the date such Lender Hedge Agreements have been closed out and termination value(s) determined in accordance therewith, such termination value(s), and (b) for any date prior to the date referenced in clause (a), the amount(s) determined as the xxxx-to-market value(s) for such Lender Hedge Agreements, as determined based upon one or more mid-market or other readily available quotations provided by any recognized dealer in such Lender Hedge Agreements (which may include a Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender).
(b) | Securities Collateral. |
(i) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions | |
contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Securities Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Securities Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances and the registration rights granted to Secured Party by such Grantor pursuant hereto, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Shares to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Securities Collateral which may be sold by Secured Party in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and
26
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
(ii) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Securities Collateral pursuant to this Section, each Grantor agrees that, upon reasonable request of Secured Party (which request may be made by Secured Party in its sole discretion), such Grantor will, at its own expense do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Securities Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law; and bear all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of carrying out its obligations under this Section.
(iii) Without limiting the generality of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 of the Credit Agreement, in the event of any public sale described herein, each Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party, and each Lender and each Hedge Provider and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any loss, fee, cost, expense, damage, liability or claim, joint or several, to which any such Persons may become subject or for which any of them may be liable, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, fees, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims (or any litigation commenced or threatened in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, registration statement, prospectus or other such document published or filed in connection with such public sale, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse Secured Party and such other Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Secured Party and such other Persons in connection with any litigation, of any nature whatsoever, commenced or threatened in respect thereof (including any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred by Secured Party and such other Persons and counsel for Secured Party and such other Persons in investigating, preparing for, defending against or providing evidence, producing documents or taking any other action in respect of, any such commenced or threatened litigation or any claims asserted). This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability which any Grantor may otherwise have and shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to each Person, if any, that controls Secured Party or such Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(c) Collateral Account. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in accordance with Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower is required to pay to Secured Party an amount (the “Aggregate Available Amount”) equal to the maximum amount that may at any time be drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding under the Credit Agreement, Borrower shall deliver funds in such an amount for deposit in the Collateral Account. If for any reason the aggregate amount delivered by Borrower for deposit in the Collateral Account as aforesaid is less than the Aggregate Available Amount, the aggregate amount so delivered by Borrower shall be apportioned among all outstanding Letters of Credit for purposes of this Section in accordance with the ratio of the maximum amount available for drawing under each such Letter of Credit (as to such Letter of Credit, the “Maximum
27
Available Amount”) to the Aggregate Available Amount. Upon any drawing under any outstanding Letter of Credit in respect of which Borrower has deposited in the Collateral Account any amounts described above, Secured Party shall apply such amounts to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing. In the event of cancellation or expiration of any Letter of Credit in respect of which Borrower has deposited in the Collateral Account any amounts described above, or in the event of any reduction in the Maximum Available Amount under such Letter of Credit, Secured Party shall apply the amount then on deposit in the Collateral Account in respect of such Letter of Credit (less, in the case of such a reduction, the Maximum Available Amount under such Letter of Credit immediately after such reduction) first, to the payment of any amounts payable to Secured Party pursuant to Section 18 hereof, second, to the extent of any excess, to the cash collateralization pursuant to the terms of this Agreement of any outstanding Letters of Credit in respect of which Borrower has failed to pay all or a portion of the amounts described above (such cash collateralization to be apportioned among all such Letters of Credit in the manner described above), third, to the extent of any further excess, to the payment of any other outstanding Secured Obligations in such order as Secured Party shall elect, and fourth, to the extent of any further excess, to the payment to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive such funds.
17 Additional Remedies for Intellectual Property Collateral.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Secured Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name of any Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, to enforce any Intellectual Property Collateral, in which event each Grantor shall, at the request of Secured Party, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Secured Party in aid of such enforcement and each Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Secured Party as provided in subsections 10.2 and 10.3 of the Credit Agreement and Section 19 hereof, as applicable, in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that Secured Party shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property Collateral as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to use its commercially reasonable judgment in maintaining any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing reasonably necessary to prevent such infringement; (ii) upon written demand from Secured Party, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Secured Party an assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that Secured Party (or any Lender) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property Collateral; and (iv) within five Business Days after written notice from Secured Party, each Grantor shall make available to Secured Party, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as Secured Party may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks, Trademark Registrations and Trademark Rights, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on Secured
28
Party’s behalf and to be compensated by Secured Party at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default.
(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment to Secured Party of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property Collateral shall have been previously made, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, Secured Party shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor such assignments as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to Secured Party as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by Secured Party; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, Secured Party’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of Secured Party granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Liens (if any) encumbering such rights, title and interest at the time of their assignment to Secured Party and Permitted Encumbrances.
18 Application of Proceeds. |
Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.
19 Indemnity and Expenses. |
(a) Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify Secured Party, each Lender and each Hedge Provider from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result from Secured Party’s or such Lender’s or Hedge Provider’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
(c) The obligations of Grantors in this Section 19 shall (i) survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Grantors’ other obligations under this Agreement, the Lender Hedge Agreements, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
29
Documents and (ii), as to any Grantor that is a party to a Subsidiary Guaranty, be subject to the provisions of Section 1(b) thereof.
20 Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans; Termination and Release.
(a) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration or, to the extent approved by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, cash collateralization or collateralization by “back-to-back” letters of credit of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (ii) be binding upon Grantors and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns; provided that if any Grantor makes an Asset Sale permitted by the Credit Agreement, Secured Party shall release concurrently with the consummation of such Asset Sale the assets constituting Collateral that are the subject of such Asset Sale to Borrower or such Grantor free and clear of the lien and security interest under this Agreement; provided, further that, as a condition precedent to such release, Secured Party shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that Borrower is in compliance with subsection 2.4B(iii)(a) of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), (A) but subject to the provisions of subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise and (B) any Hedge Provider may assign or otherwise transfer any Lender Hedge Agreement to which it is a party to any other Person in accordance with the terms of such Lender Hedge Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Hedge Providers herein or otherwise.
(b) Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration or, to the extent approved by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, cash collateralization or collateralization by “back-to-back” letters of credit of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantors. Upon any such termination Secured Party will, at Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. In addition, upon the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by a Grantor in accordance with the Credit Agreement for which such Grantor desires to obtain a security interest release from Secured Party, such Grantor shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate (x) stating that the Collateral subject to such disposition is being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and (y) specifying the Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, Secured Party shall, at such Grantor’s expense, so long as Secured Party has no reasonable reason to believe that the Officer’s Certificate delivered by such Grantor with respect to such sale is not true and correct, execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral which is to be so sold, transferred or disposed of, as may be reasonably requested by such Grantor.
30
(c) As used in this Agreement, the term “payment in full” or “paid in full” means the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, other than any inchoate reimbursement or indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted.
21 Secured Party as Agent. |
(a) Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Hedge Providers. Secured Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided that Secured Party shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 16 in accordance with the instructions of (i) Requisite Lenders or (ii) after payment in full of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the cancellation or expiration or cash collateralization or collateralization by “back-to-back” letters of credit of all Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments, (A) the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount under all Lender Hedge Agreements (including Lender Hedge Agreements that have been terminated) or (B) if all Lender Hedge Agreements have been terminated in accordance with their terms, the aggregate amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under such Lender Hedge Agreements (Requisite Lenders or, if applicable, such holders being referred to herein as “Requisite Obligees”). In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 21(a), each Hedge Provider, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Hedge Provider that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Secured Party for the benefit of Lenders and Hedge Providers in accordance with the terms of this Section 21(a).
(b) Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement; removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as Secured Party under this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Secured Party under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Secured Party all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Secured Party of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and
31
obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.
(c) Secured Party shall not be deemed to have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Hedge Provider until it shall have received written notice in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party from a Grantor or any such Hedge Provider as to the existence and terms of the applicable Lender Hedge Agreement.
22 Additional Grantors. |
From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Restricted Subsidiaries of Borrower may execute and deliver a counterpart to the Subsidiary Guaranty. In connection therewith, such Subsidiaries of Borrower may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Counterpart substantially in the form of Exhibit VI annexed hereto. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart to Secured Party, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each such Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Administrative Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
23 Amendments; Etc. |
No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Grantors; provided this Agreement may be modified by the execution of a Counterpart by an Additional Grantor in accordance with Section 22 and Grantors hereby waive any requirement of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
24 Notices. |
Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as provided in subsection 10.8 of the Credit Agreement or as set forth under such party’s name on the signature pages to the Subsidiary Guaranty or such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto.
32
25 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
26 Severability. |
In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
27 Headings; Recitals. |

The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims.
