SECTION 4.11. Legend. If any Accounts Receivable of any Grantor are
evidenced by chattel paper, such Grantor shall legend, in form and manner
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, such Accounts Receivable and its books,
records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto with an appropriate
reference to the fact that such Accounts Receivable have been assigned to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Collateral
Agent has a security interest therein.
SECTION 4.12. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Collateral. (a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any of
its licensees to, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent which is
material to the conduct of such Grantor's business may become invalidated or
dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to xxxx any products
covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient
to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws
pursuant to which each such Patent is issued.
(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its
sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor's
business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of
abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and
services offered under such Trademark sufficient to preclude any findings of
abandonment, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign
registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve
its maximum rights under applicable law pursuant to which each such Trademark is
issued and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark
in violation of any third party rights.
10
(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, for each work
covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt
and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and
sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable
copyright laws pursuant to which each such Copyright is issued.
(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent immediately if it knows
or has reason to know that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the
conduct of its business may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public,
or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or
any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or
similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor's ownership of any Patent,
Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain
the same.
(e) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent,
employee, licensee or designee, file an application for any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright (or for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright) with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any
office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any
other country or any political subdivision thereof, unless it promptly informs
the Collateral Agent, and, upon request of the Collateral Agent, executes and
delivers any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the
Collateral Agent may request to evidence and perfect the Collateral Agent's
security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and each Grantor
hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file
such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby
ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable.
(f) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with
the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political
subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political
subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each material application relating
to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant
or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the
Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of any Grantor's
business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of
use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if
consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and
cancelation proceedings against third parties.
(g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any
Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the
conduct of any Grantor's business has been or is about to be infringed,
misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor promptly shall notify
the Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment,
promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any
and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take
such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
Collateral.
(h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor
shall use its best efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals from
the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to
effect the assignment of all of such Grantor's right, title and interest
thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.
11
ARTICLE V
Power of Attorney
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral
Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent)
as such Grantor's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such
capacity the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution
for each Grantor and in each Grantor's name or otherwise, for the use and
benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default (a) to receive, endorse, assign
and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or
other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b)
to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and
releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on
any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send
verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and
prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any
court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of
the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to
settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings
relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any
Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral
Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with
respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all
other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as
fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of
the Collateral for all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature
or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with
respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due
in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken or
omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim
or offset in favor of any Grantor or to any claim or action against the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. It is understood and agreed that the
appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the
Grantors for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall in no event relieve any
Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on
the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to proceed in any particular manner
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the
exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any other or further
right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether
hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise.
12
ARTICLE VI
Remedies
SECTION 6.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of
Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following
actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Collateral
consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest
to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such
Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent (except to the
extent assignment, transfer or conveyance thereof would result in a loss of said
Intellectual Property), or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or
otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any such
Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner
as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any
then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be
obtained), and (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior
notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and
without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be
located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and,
generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the
UCC or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to
the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of
all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's
board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future
delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent
shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to
restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and
agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon
consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to
assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each such 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 law) all rights of
redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in
the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors 10 days' written notice
(which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section
9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or
its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent's intention to
make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall
state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's
board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which
such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof,
will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale
shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such
place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any)
of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold
may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral
Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine
not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral
shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the
Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or
13
purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in
case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the
Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold
again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law,
private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid for or
purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption,
stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being
also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral
or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by
using any Obligation then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor
as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon
compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property
without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof a
written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be
treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such
sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return
of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the
fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement
all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.
As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the
Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose
this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a
judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or
pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
SECTION 6.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply
the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any
Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such
hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such
collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any
of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and
expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances
made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on
behalf of any Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any
other Loan Document;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so
applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance
with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such
distribution); and
THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court
of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of
application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this
Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including
pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding),
the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a
sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold
and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the
application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent
or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
SECTION 6.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the
purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under
this Article at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral
Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of
royalty or other
14
compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sub-license any of the
Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired
by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such
license reasonable 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. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent
shall be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license,
sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in
accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any
subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
ARTICLE VII
Miscellaneous
SECTION 7.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall
(except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as
provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices
hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it at its address or telecopy
number set forth on Schedule I, with a copy to the Borrower.
SECTION 7.02. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantors
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of
validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any
agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or
instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner
or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations,
or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the
Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument,
(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or
any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any
guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any
other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by any Grantor herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the
issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank, and the execution and
delivery to the Lenders of any notes evidencing such Loans, regardless of any
investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full
force and effect until this Agreement shall terminate.
SECTION 7.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall
become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf
of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent,
and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and
their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such
Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the
Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as
expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This
Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each
Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with
respect to any Grantor
15
without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations
of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 7.05. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of
the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements
by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
successors and assigns.
SECTION 7.06. Collateral Agent's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a)
Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay upon demand to the Collateral
Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of its counsel and of any experts or
agents, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the
administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the
sale of, collection from or other realization upon any of the Collateral, (iii)
the exercise, enforcement or protection of any of the rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure of any Grantor to perform or observe any of
the provisions hereof applicable to it.
(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other
Loan Documents, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the
Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees against, and hold each of them
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel,
incurred by or asserted against any of them arising out of, in any way connected
with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this
Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating hereto
or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions
of this Section 7.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 7.06
shall be payable on written demand therefor.
SECTION 7.07. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the
Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder
and of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any
departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. No notice to
16
or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other
Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which
such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent
required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF,
UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.09.
SECTION 7.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby
(it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that
of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute but one contract (subject to Section 7.04), and
shall become effective as provided in Section 7.04. Delivery of an executed
signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
SECTION 7.12. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for
the purpose of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to
affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting,
this Agreement.
SECTION 7.13. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the
Collateral
17
Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any
New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this
Agreement will affected the right of any party to this Agreement to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 7.14. Termination. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall
terminate when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the LC
Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Bank has no further obligation
to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, at which time the
Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors'
expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar
documents which the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents
pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Collateral Agent. A Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations
hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be
automatically released in the event that such Grantor ceases to be a Subsidiary
pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents, at which time the
Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor's
expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence
such release.
SECTION 7.15. Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit
Agreement, each Subsidiary Loan Party that was not in existence or not a
Subsidiary Loan Party on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter
in to this Agreement as a Grantor upon becoming a Subsidiary Loan Party. Upon
execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a Subsidiary of an instrument
in the form of Annex 3 hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder
with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The
execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of
any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new
Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
18

INDUSTRIES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Borrower"), SCG HOLDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
("Holdings"), each subsidiary of Holdings listed on Schedule I
thereto (each such subsidiary individually a "Subsidiary" or a
"Guarantor" and, collectively, the "Subsidiaries" or, with Holdings,
the "Guarantors"; the Guarantors and the Borrower are referred to
collectively herein as the "Grantors") and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK,
a New York banking corporation ("Chase"), as collateral agent (in
such capacity, the "Collateral Agent") for the Secured Parties (as
defined therein).
A. Reference is made to (a) the Credit Agreement dated as of August 4,
1999 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement and the
Credit Agreement.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to

Party that was not in existence or not a Subsidiary Loan Party on the date of

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.15 of the Security Agreement, the
New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security
Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a
Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of
the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b)
represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a
Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof except to
the extent a representation and warranty expressly relates solely to a specific
date in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct on
such date. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the
payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Security
Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors
and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and
assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor's right,
title and interest in and to the Collateral of the New Grantor. Each reference
to a "Grantor" in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New
Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding
obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral
Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken
together, bear the signatures of the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent.
Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile
transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart
of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set
forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the
location of any and all Collateral of the New Grantor and (b) set forth under
its signature hereto, is the true and correct location of the chief executive
office of the New Grantor.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the
validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing
and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Security Agreement. All
communications and notices hereunder to the
2
New Grantor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature

including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for
the Collateral Agent.
