The Collateral Agent, acting alone, may enforce the Security Interest, commence foreclosure proceedings and otherwise exercise any rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law or otherwise upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and in doing so will act on behalf of all of the Lender.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent, acting alone, may, but shall not be obligated to, exercise the following rights and remedies, which a Guarantor hereby agrees are commercially reasonable:
|
(a) |
to require a Guarantor to assemble and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Collateral Agent; |
|
(b) |
personally or by agents or attorneys, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and, to the extent a Guarantor can give authority therefor, without liability for trespass and without notice or judicial process, to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of, or removing, the Collateral; |
|
(c) |
to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral that would otherwise be payable to a Guarantor and to instruct Account Debtors and any other obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent and to exercise any and all remedies of a Guarantor in respect of such Collateral; |
|
(d) |
to transfer or assign all or any part of the Collateral (including any letters of credit of which a Guarantor is the named beneficiary) into the Collateral Agent’s name or the name of its nominee and to execute such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such transfers and assignments; |
CAN_DMS: \132147718\7
26
|
(f) |
to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Collateral Agent in its absolute discretion may determine. Any such sale or other disposition may be effected by means of a public or private sale in accordance with the requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of section 9-613 of the UCC and such other mandatory requirements of Applicable Law as may apply to the disposition. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at the time or place to which it has been so adjourned. Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral free from any right or equity of redemption. The Collateral Agent is authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with any sale of Collateral as it may be advised by counsel is necessary or desirable in order to (i) avoid any violation of Applicable Law or (ii) obtain any required governmental approval of the sale or purchase, and a Guarantor agrees that such compliance shall not result in such purchase or sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or accountable to a Guarantor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is disposed of in compliance with any such limitation or restriction; and |
|
(g) |

If so requested by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.2, a Guarantor shall, at its own expense, assemble and deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent. Each Guarantor’s obligation to assemble and deliver Collateral to the Collateral Agent upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default is of the essence of this Agreement and, accordingly, upon application to a court having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by a Guarantor of such obligation.
CAN_DMS: \132147718\7
26
|
to the Collateral Agent or as it may otherwise direct, (iv) legend, in form and manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Accounts Receivable and the Contracts, as well as books, records and documents (if any) of a Guarantor evidencing or pertaining to such Accounts Receivable and Contracts with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts Receivable and Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent, for and of behalf of the Lender, has a security interest therein, and (v) permit the Collateral Agent to enforce collection of any such Accounts Receivable and Contracts and adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as a Guarantor. |
|
(b) |
The costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), whether incurred by a Guarantor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the Guarantor. The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in Section 3.4(a) to the Guarantor, provided that the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify the Guarantor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.4(a) and no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type described in subsection [(j) of the Event of Default section of] the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing. |
In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall also be entitled but shall not be obligated with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, to (a) cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any or all such Collateral by a Guarantor to the Collateral Agent or otherwise declare the right, title and interest of a Guarantor in and to such Collateral to be vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lender, (b) 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, (c) from time to time, in its sole discretion, enforce against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of a Guarantor in, to and under any such Collateral and take or refrain from taking any action under any such license or sublicense, (d) take and use or practice or sell the Intellectual Property and the goodwill of a Guarantor’s business symbolized by the Trademarks, and (e) direct a Guarantor to refrain, in which event a Guarantor shall refrain, from practicing the Patents and using the Copyrights and Trademarks in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly.
|
(a) |
In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, without notice to a Guarantor, transfer or direct the transfer of funds from one or more Deposit Accounts, to satisfy the Obligations. |

In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: |
|
(i) |
automatically, in the case of an Event of Default under subsection [(j) of the Event of Default section] of the Credit Agreement and otherwise upon notice from the Collateral Agent to a Guarantor, all rights of a Guarantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto will cease and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent which will have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights provided that the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, permit a Guarantor to exercise such rights irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred or notice as aforesaid has been delivered; and |
|
(ii) |
automatically, in the case of an Event of Default under subsection [(j) of the Event of Default section] of the Credit Agreement and otherwise upon notice from the Collateral Agent to a Guarantor, all rights of a Guarantor to dividends, distributions, interest or principal that a Guarantor is authorized to receive pursuant to this Agreement or the Credit Agreement will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which will have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, distributions, interest and principal. |

sole discretion, may (i) proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof has been filed under United States federal securities laws, and (ii) approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent will incur no responsibility or liability for selling Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 3.6(e) will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices might exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells. |
Each right, power and remedy of the Collateral Agent provided for in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or at law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or at law or in equity shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Collateral Agent of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any Obligation shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to, or demand on, a Guarantor shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action without notice or demand.
|
(a) |
In no event shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to exercise any right or remedy against any other Person obligated with respect to, or any other collateral security for, the Obligations prior to exercising its rights hereunder. |
|
(b) |
The Collateral Agent may exercise rights, powers and remedies in such order and priority as the Collateral Agent may determine in its sole discretion. |
The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral including warranties as to title or fitness for use. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. Any disposition on this basis will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other disposition of the Collateral.

|
(a) |
all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or disposition except damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; |

|
(a) |
Any sale or other disposition (whether in the course of a realization or otherwise) of Collateral by the Collateral Agent or its representatives or agents shall operate to divest all right, title, interest and claim, either at law or in equity, of a Guarantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against a Guarantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of. |
|
(b) |
Each purchaser at any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall hold the property so sold or transferred to it absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of a Guarantor, and each Guarantor waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after any disposition, and all rights, if any, of marshaling the Collateral and all rights, if any, of stay or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law now existing or hereafter enacted. |
|
(c) |
Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (whether by the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by the Collateral Agent of the purchase price therefor 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 be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof. |

third, to the extent monies remain after their application pursuant to the preceding Sections 3.12(a) and 3.12(b), to a payment to a Guarantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such payment. |
If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral are insufficient to pay the entire outstanding amount of the Obligations, a Guarantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any Persons employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring the Collateral Agent or any of the Lender to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent or any Lender, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof. No action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent or any Lender with respect to the Collateral will give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of a Guarantor or to any claim against the Collateral Agent or any Lender. The provisions of this Section 3.14 shall not relieve a Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Credit Agreements, the Guarantee or the other Credit Documents with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Lender 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 Lender of any other or further right that it may have, whether hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, by law or otherwise. The Collateral Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, will be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents will be responsible to a Guarantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

If a Guarantor acquires rights in any Pledged Collateral or establishes any securities accounts or commodity accounts after the date hereof, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent not less than 10 days prior to any such acquisition, a supplement to the applicable Schedule reflecting such new Pledged Collateral, securities account or commodity account, as the case may be. |
|
(c) |
With respect to Collateral consisting of securities accounts, securities entitlements, commodity accounts or commodity contracts (other than securities accounts and financial assets credited thereto that are linked by a sweep mechanism to a Deposit Account over which the Collateral Agent has "control"), a Guarantor shall cause the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, as applicable, maintaining such securities account, securities entitlement or commodity account to enter into account control agreements satisfactory to the Collateral Agent within 30 days of the date of this Agreement (or such longer period of time as may be acceptable to Collateral Agent in its sole discretion). |

Account, a Guarantor will promptly transfer all funds and property held in such terminated Deposit Account to another Deposit Account, unless such funds are otherwise used as expressly permitted and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. |
|
(e) |
With respect to any Pledged Collateral constituting certificated securities acquired or pledged after the date hereof, it shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent all such certificated securities, stock powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and all such instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to give effect to the pledge granted hereby and obtain control thereof. |
|
(f) |
With respect to any Pledged Collateral constituting uncertificated securities acquired or pledged after the date hereof, such Guarantor will cause the issuer thereof either (a) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such securities or (b) to agree in an authenticated record with such Guarantor and the Collateral Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such securities originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Guarantor, such authenticated record to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (c) upon request by the Collateral Agent, provide to the Collateral Agent an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, confirming such pledge and perfection thereof and (d) if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, request the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to cause such Pledged Collateral to become certificated and in the event such Pledged Collateral become certificated, to deliver such Pledged Collateral to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7(e). |
|
(g) |
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and Section 3.6 of this Agreement: |
|
(i) |
a Guarantor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; |
|
(ii) |
the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to a Guarantor all proxies and other instruments as the Guarantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Guarantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights when and to the extent that it is entitled to exercise the same pursuant to clause (i) above and to receive the dividends and other distributions that it is entitled to receive pursuant to clause (iii) below; and |
CAN_DMS: \132147718\7
26
|
and all other distributions (other than distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock of the issuer of any Pledged Collateral or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, will be and become part of the Collateral without any further action. A Guarantor will promptly take all steps, if any, required or necessary to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, “control” (as defined in Article 8 or Article 9 of the UCC, as applicable) of the Collateral Agent of such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions (including delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent), and pending any such action the Guarantor will be deemed to hold same in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and such property will be segregated from all other property of the Guarantor. In any such case, each Guarantor shall provide supplements to the applicable schedules with a description, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, of all such property. |
Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Article 5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Article 5 will be specifically enforceable against the Guarantors, and each Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses in an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.
This Agreement and all covenants, representations and warranties made herein shall survive its execution and delivery and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Obligations are still outstanding. Whenever a Party is referred to in this Agreement, such reference is deemed to include the successors and assigns of such Party, if any; provided, however, that a Guarantor may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent or as expressly contemplated by the Credit Agreement. All covenants, promises and agreements made by each Guarantor in this Agreement, shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns, and all covenants, promises and agreements made by the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, shall inure to the benefit of each Guarantor and its successors and assigns.
|
(a) |
Each Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, the Lender and each of their respective affiliates and each of their |
CAN_DMS: \132147718\7
26
|
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (each, an Indemnified Party) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by, or asserted or awarded against, any Indemnified Party (including in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), in each case arising out of, or in connection with, or by reason of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or in any other way connected with the enforcement of any of the terms hereof, or the preservation of any rights hereunder, or in any way relating to, or arising out of, the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchase, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition, or use of the Collateral (including latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), the violation of the laws of any country, state or other governmental body, any tort (including claims arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnified Party), or property damage), or contract claim related to the Collateral; provided that no Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) for losses, damages or liabilities to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or by any breach of duties imposed by applicable law on such Indemnified Party. Upon written notice by any Indemnified Party of the assertion of such a liability, obligation, damage, injury, penalty, claim, demand, action, suit or judgment, each Guarantor shall assume full responsibility for the defense thereof. Each Indemnified Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to promptly notify a Guarantor of any such assertion of which such Indemnified Party has knowledge. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 6.2 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Guarantor, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. |
|
(b) |
No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to a Guarantor or any of its affiliates, security holders or creditors for or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Guarantor agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement will (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations, and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person who was at any time a Collateral Agent or Indemnified Party. |
Any amounts paid by any Indemnified Party in respect of which such Indemnified Party has the right to reimbursement shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral.
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts stated in this Agreement are stated in US currency, and all payments required under this Agreement shall be paid in US currency. If it is necessary to convert any lawful currency of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America into US Dollars for purposes of determining any amounts owed under, or due and payable pursuant to, this Agreement, the Parties agree such currency conversion
CAN_DMS: \132147718\7
26
shall be determined by reference to the New York foreign exchange mid-range rates published in The Wall Street Journal (or such other internationally-recognized currency conversion source as may be mutually agreed between the Parties).
Any notice, consent, demand, waiver or other communication given under this Agreement must be in writing and shall be given in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
Any such communication is deemed to have been duly given (a) if delivered personally, on the day of delivery, (b) if sent by a nationally recognized courier service, on the later of (i) the first Business Day following the date of dispatch, or (ii) the scheduled day of delivery by such service, and (c) if sent by facsimile or electronic mail on the day so sent if the day is a Business Day and it was sent prior to 5 pm (New York time) and otherwise on the next Business Day. A Person may change its address for service by notice given in accordance with the foregoing and any subsequent communication must be sent to such Person at its changed address.
The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way its meaning or interpretation.
This Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
|
(a) |
No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise and no delay in exercising any power or right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will 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. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or consent to any departure by a Guarantor therefrom will in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by Section 6.8(b), and then such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to, or demand on, a Guarantor will entitle that Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. |
