(i) all Equity Interests held by it that are listed on Schedule II and any other Equity Interests obtained in the future by such Grantor and the certificates representing all such Equity Interests of any Subsidiary (collectively, the “Pledged Equity”); provided that the Pledged Equity shall not include Excluded Assets;

(ii) (A) the debt securities owned by it and listed opposite the name of such Grantor on Schedule II, (B) any debt securities obtained in the future by such Grantor and (C) the promissory notes and any other instruments evidencing such debt securities (collectively, the “Pledged Debt”); provided that the Pledged Debt shall not include any Excluded Assets;

(iv) subject to Section 2.06, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other Proceeds received in respect of, the Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above;

(v) subject to Section 2.06, all rights and privileges of such Grantor with respect to the securities and other property referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above; and

-6-


provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of security interest in (A) any Excluded Asset or (B) any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of Holdings to the extent necessary for such Subsidiary not to be subject to any requirement pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to file separate financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (or any other governmental agency), due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Captial Stock secures the Securities or the guarantees of the Securities (only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement and only for so long as required to not be subject to such requirement) and (ii) no Grantor shall be required to take steps to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted hereunder (A) by indicating such security interest on the certificate of title for any motor vehicle or other asset that is covered by a certificate of title, (B) by entering into any control agreements or control arrangements (including with respect to Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Commodity Accounts or Letter-of-Credit Rights), or (C) by making any fixture filings with respect to fixtures or as-extracted collateral.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Grantor’s Capital Stock and other securities to secure the Securities in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Grantor, then the Capital Stock and other securities of such Grantor will automatically be deemed to be a part of the Pledged Collateral for the Securities but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Pledged Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, forever, subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

Section 2.02 Delivery of the Pledged Securities.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor agrees promptly (but in any event within 60 days after receipt by such Grantor, or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any and all (i) Pledged Equity to the extent certificated and (ii) to the extent required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.02, Pledged Debt.

(c) Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, any Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by stock or security powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent.

 

-7-


(d) Prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, (i) the requirements of this Section 2.02 to deliver to the Collateral Agent any Collateral, the security of which may be perfected only by possession or control by a single person shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery of possession or control of such Collateral to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative (as provided in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and (ii) each Grantor shall comply with the requirements of this Section 2.02 with respect to the obligations hereunder only to the same extent such Grantor is required to comply with provisions analogous to this Section 2.02 with respect to the Senior Obligations in the Senior Collateral Documents.

Section 2.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to and with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:

(a) As of the date hereof, Schedule II includes all Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt required to be pledged by such Grantor on the date hereof under the Credit Agreement;

(b) To the extent issued by a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries, all such Pledged Equity and such Pledged Debt has been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuer(s) thereof and are (i) in the case of such Pledged Equity, fully paid and nonassessable (other than with respect to Pledged Equity consisting of membership interests limited liability companies to the extent provided in Section 18-502 and 18-607 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act) and (ii) in the case of such Pledged Debt, the valid and legally binding obligations of the issuer(s) thereof, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

(c) except for the security interests granted hereunder, such Grantor (i) is and, subject to any transfers made in compliance with or permitted by the Indenture, will continue to be, the direct owner, beneficially and of record, of the Pledged Equity indicated opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule II, (ii) holds the same free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens created by the Collateral Documents or Permitted Liens and (iii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Pledged Collateral, other than assignments, pledges, hypothecations and transfers permitted by the Indenture or Permitted Liens; and

(d) the execution and performance by the Grantors of this Agreement are within each Grantor’s corporate, limited liability or limited partnership power, as applicable, and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability or limited partnership action or other organizational action, as applicable.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will comply with instructions of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Equity Interests in such Grantor that constitute Pledged Equity hereunder that are not certificated without further consent by the applicable owner or holder of such Equity Interests.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any provision of this Agreement or the Indenture excludes any assets from the scope of the Pledged Collateral, or from any requirement to take any action to perfect any security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants made by any relevant Grantor in this

 

-8-


Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as applicable) of the security interest granted in favor of the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, this Section 2,03) shall be deemed not to apply to such excluded assets.

Section 2.04 Certification of Limited Liability Company and Limited Partnership Interests. No interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by any Grantor that constitutes Pledged Equity shall be represented by a certificate unless (i) the limited liability company agreement or partnership agreement expressly provides that such interests shall be a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction and (ii) subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such certificate shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.02. Subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent an interest in any Limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by any Grantor and pledged under Section 2.01 is certificated or becomes certificated, (i) each such certificate shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent, pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and (ii) such Grantor shall fulfill all other requirements under Section 2.02 applicable in respect thereof.

Section 2.06 Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest.

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof, and each Grantor agrees that it shall exercise such rights for purposes not in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Indenture Documents;

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall promptly (after reasonable advance notice) execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above; and

(iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Indenture, Indenture Documents and applicable Law; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities 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, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 days or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent). So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to each Grantor any Pledged Securities in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Securities permitted by the Indenture in accordance with this Section 2.06(a)(iii).

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon receipt of notice from Collateral Agent of its exercise of remedies, subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 days or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 and that remain in such account.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon receipt of notice from Collateral Agent of its exercise of remedies, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06 shall be reinstated.

Section 2.07 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Indenture Document (including, without limitation, this Agreement) and the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or under any other Indenture Document are subject to the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and any other Indenture Document, the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any right or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of the Collateral Agent shall be subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, (a) no Grantor shall be required hereunder or under any other Indenture Document to take any action that is inconsistent with such Grantor’s obligations under the Senior Documents and (b) any obligation of any Grantor under any Indenture Document with respect to the delivery or control of any Collateral or the giving of any notice to any bailee or other Person shall be deemed to be satisfied if the Grantor complies with the requirements of the similar provision of the applicable Senior Document. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Collateral Agent may not require any Grantor to take any action with respect to the creation, perfection or priority of its security interest, whether pursuant to the express terms hereof or of any other Indenture Document or pursuant to the further assurances provisions hereof or any other Indenture Document, to the extent the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or the applicable Senior Representative shall not have taken or required such Grantor to take similar action, and delivery of any Collateral to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative pursuant to the Senior Documents shall satisfy any delivery requirement hereunder or under any other Indenture Document.

ARTICLE III

Security Interests in Personal Property

Section 3.01 Security Interest.

(a) As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, each Grantor hereby collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in, all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the following assets and properties now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Article 9 Collateral”):

 

  (i) all Accounts;

 

  (ii) all Chattel Paper;

 

  (iii) all Documents;

 

  (iv) all Equipment;

 

  (v) all General Intangibles;

 

  (vi) all Goods;

 

-11-


(vii) all Instruments;

(viii) all Inventory;

(ix) all Investment Property;

(x) all books and records pertaining to the Article 9 Collateral;

(xi) all Fixtures;

(xii) all Letter of Credit and Letter-of-Credit Rights;

(xiii) all Intellectual Property;

(xiv) all Commercial Tort Claims listed on Schedule III and on any supplement thereto received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(i); and

(xv) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all Supporting Obligations, collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing;

provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of security interest in (A) any Excluded Asset or (B) any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of Holdings to the extent necessary for such Subsidiary not to be subject to any requirement pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and Exchange Act, to file separate financial statements with the SEC (or any other governmental agency), due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Captial Stock secures the Securities or the guarantees of the Securities (only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement and only for so long as required to not be subject to such requirement) and (ii) no Grantor shall be required to take steps to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted here-under (A) by indicating such security interest on the certificate of title for any motor vehicle or other asset that is covered by a certificate of title, (B) by entering into any control agreements or control arrangements (including with respect to Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Commodity Accounts or Letter-of-Credit Rights), or (C) by making any fixture filings with respect to fixtures or as-extracted collateral.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and Exchange Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Grantor’s Capital Stock and other securities to secure the Securities in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Grantor, then the Capital Stock and other securities of such Grantor will automatically be deemed to be a part of the Pledged Collateral for the Securities but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement.

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Article 9 Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Grantor or words of similar effect as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and, if required, any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor. Each

 

-12-


Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon any reasonable request. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall alter or modify the requirements contained in Section 10.01 of the Indenture, which provisions are expressly incorporated herein by reference.

(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

(d) The Collateral Agent is authorized to file with the USPTO or the USCO (or any successor office) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest in United States registered and applied for Intellectual Property of each Grantor in which a security interest has been granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantor as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party.

Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor jointly and severally represents and warrants, as to itself and the other Grantors, to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that:

(a) Subject to Permitted Liens, each Grantor has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained prior to the date hereof.

(b) The UCC financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations were prepared based upon the information provided in the Perfection Certificate and will be filed by the Issuer, its agents or its designees in the applicable filing office and are all the filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and no further or subsequent filing, re-filing, recording, rerecording, registration or re-registration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.

(c) Each Grantor represents and warrants that short-form Intellectual Property Security Agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibits III, IV and V and containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States registered and applied for Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending, unless it constitutes an Excluded Asset) and United States registered Copyrights, respectively, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording by the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261,15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of registrations and applications for United States Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights. To the extent a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in USPTO or USCO under the Federal intellectual property laws, then no further or subsequent filing, re-filing, recording, rerecording, registration or re-registration is necessary (other than (i) such filings and actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States registered and applied for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired or developed by any Grantor after the date hereof and (ii) the UCC financing and continuation statements contemplated in Section 3.02(b)).

 

-13-


(d) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any statutory or similar Lien that has priority as a matter of Law and (ii) any Permitted Liens.

(e) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Permitted Liens. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable Laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the USPTO or the USCO, or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Permitted Liens and assignments permitted by the Indenture.

(f) As of the date hereof, no Grantor has any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $5,000,000 individually or $10,000,000 in the aggregate, other than the Commercial Tort Claims listed on Schedule III.

Section 3.03 Covenants.

(a) The Issuers agree to notify the Collateral Agent in writing within 60 days (or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) after effecting any change in (i) the legal name of any Grantor, (ii) the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of any Grantor, (iii) the jurisdiction of organization of any Grantor or (iv) chief executive office of any Grantor and take all actions that are necessary or requested by the Collateral Agent to continue the perfection of security interests created herein in Collateral at all times following any such change.

(b) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. Subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument, debt security or chattel paper, such note, instrument, debt security or chattel paper shall be promptly (and in any event within 60 days of its acquisition or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Grantor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection thereof in the Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors to the extent otherwise required by Section 7.07 of the Indenture.

 

-14-


(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Indenture, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Indenture Documents.

(d) Intellectual Property Covenants.

(i) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Indenture or with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, with respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other governmental authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in the Intellectual Property of such Grantor that are not Excluded Assets.

(ii) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Indenture, or with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, or except as would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property, excluding Excluded Assets, may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed to the public domain (or in the case of a trade secret, become publicly known).

(iii) Other than as excluded or as not prohibited herein or in the Indenture, or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks which are no longer used or useful in the applicable Grantor’s business operations or except where failure to do so would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and enforce each item of its Intellectual Property.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or any other Indenture Document prevents or shall be deemed to prevent any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, expire, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual Property to the extent permitted by the Indenture if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.

 

-15-


(v) Simultaneously with the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate required pursuant to Section 4.09 of Indenture (or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion), the Issuers shall provide a list of any additional registrations of or applications for Intellectual Property of all Grantors with the USPTO and USCO not previously disclosed to the Collateral Agent including such information as is necessary for such Grantor to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO. The provisions hereof shall automatically apply to such Intellectual Property as if such would have constituted Article 9 Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to the Security Interest without further action by any party. Each Grantor shall also at the time of delivery of such list provide to the Collateral Agent confirmation of the attachment of the Security Interest to such Intellectual Property by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in such Intellectual Property.

(e) If the Grantors shall at any time hold or acquire any Commercial Tort Claims in an amount reasonably estimated by such Grantor to exceed $5,000,000 individually or $10,000,000 in the aggregate for which this clause has not been satisfied and for which a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction has been filed, such Grantor shall within 60 days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which such complaint was filed (or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of such claim and grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.

(f) In the event that the proceeds of any insurance claim are paid to any Grantor after the Collateral Agent has exercised its right to foreclose after an Event of Default, such proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and, subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, immediately after receipt thereof shall be paid to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with Section 4.02.

ARTICLE IV

Remedies

Section 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under Law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements

 

-16-


subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a 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 of securities (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 sale of Collateral 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 Law now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC 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 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 Agreement, 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 claim 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 Secured 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. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

 

-17-


Section 4.02 Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall deliver the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash to the Trustee for application in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

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 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.

The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Trustee of any amounts distributed to it.

Section 4.03 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a nonexclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which such licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the Collateral Agent to use such licenses, sublicenses and other rights, and (to the extent permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) all licenses and sublicenses granted thereunder, shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default and shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon prior written notice to the applicable Grantor; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks material to the business of such Grantor shall be subject to restrictions, including, without limitation restrictions as to goods or services associated with such Trademarks and the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used, sufficient to preserve the validity and value of such Trademarks. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default and notice to the applicable Grantor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon notice to the applicable Grantor, the Collateral Agent may also exercise the rights afforded under Section 4.01 of this Agreement with respect to Intellectual Property contained in the Article 9 Collateral.

Subordination

Section 5.01 Subordination.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations. No failure on the part of the Issuers or any Grantor to make the payments required under applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

(b) Each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice from the Collateral Agent, all Indebtedness owed to it by any other Grantor shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations; provided that unless the Collateral Agent notifies each Grantor that such payments may not be made, each Grantor shall be permitted to make (or receive) payments on any intercompany note owed to (or by) a Grantor.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and with the intent to be legally bound hereby, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.13 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 in all material respects on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby collaterally assign and pledge to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in all of the New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) 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, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity.

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

This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4.

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 6. THE TERMS OF SECTIONS 12.09 AND 12.16 OF THE INDENTURE WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNING LAW, SUBMISSION OF JURISDICTION, VENUE AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO SUCH TERMS.

SECTION 7. EACH PARTY TO THIS SUPPLEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 6.01 OF THE SECURITY AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS SUPPLEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS SUPPLEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

SECTION 8. Neither this Supplement 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 Article 9 of the Indenture and subject to Section 6.02 of the Security Agreement.

SECTION 9. If any provision of this Supplement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Supplement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.

SECTION 11. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent, in each case, to the extent contemplated by Section 7.07 of the Indenture.
