RECITALS

1.             Certain lenders entered into a Secured Credit Agreement dated as of April 23, 2001 (as amended through the fourth amendment thereto, the “Original Credit Agreement”) with Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

2.             In connection with the Original Credit Agreement, Company, the other grantors named therein, and Collateral Agent executed a certain Security Agreement dated as of April 23, 2001 (as amended through the first amendment thereto, the “Original Security Agreement”), and Collateral Agent and predecessor lender agent executed a certain Intercreditor Agreement dated as of April 23, 2001 (as amended through the first amendment thereto and as supplemented by various acknowledgments thereto, the “Original Intercreditor Agreement”).

3.             After the execution of the Original Security Agreement, Owens-Brockway issued the following series of senior secured notes constituting New Senior Debt under the Original Credit Agreement and the Original Intercreditor Agreement (collectively, the “Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Secured Notes”): the 8 7/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 in the original aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000, the 7 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 in the original aggregate principal amount of $450,000,000 and the 8 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 in the original aggregate principal amount of $625,000,000. In connection with such issuances, the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Secured Notes Trustees, as New Senior Debt Representatives, executed acknowledgments to the Original Intercreditor Agreement, which acknowledgments were acknowledged by Borrowers’ Agent and delivered to Collateral Agent, pursuant to which such persons agreed to be bound by the terms of the Original Intercreditor Agreement, and by virtue of such execution, acknowledgment and delivery, the obligations in respect of the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Secured Notes became secured by the Original Security Agreement as and to the extent set forth therein and, in the case of those

The Credit Agreement refinances and replaces the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in its entirety, has been designated in writing as such by the Borrowers’ Agent, and Collateral Agent has consented thereto and acknowledged the termination of the predecessor Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by DBTCA, in its capacity as administrative agent to the lenders thereunder.

2

9.             Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the parties desire to amend and restate the Amended and Restated Security Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein.

10.           Owens-Brockway has guaranteed (A) all Offshore Loans made to, and all other Obligations of, the Offshore Borrowers and (B) the Other Lender Guarantied Obligations, all pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Domestic Borrowers’ Guaranty dated as of June 14, 2006 (as it may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Domestic Borrowers’ Guaranty”).

11.           Company has guarantied the Obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement as well as certain Other Permitted Credit Exposure (as defined below) pursuant to Section 9 of the Credit Agreement.

Notes, is referred to herein as a “New Senior Debt Document” individually and the “New Senior Debt Documents” collectively. Any trustee or like representative of the holders of any such New Senior Debt acting in such capacity for the benefit of the holders of New Senior Debt, including the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Secured Notes Trustees, is referred to herein as a “New Senior Debt Representative.”  For the avoidance of doubt, the term “New Senior Debt” as used herein shall not include the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Unsecured Notes.

15.           Concurrently herewith, the Collateral Agent, the Lender Agent and the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Secured Notes Trustees have entered into a Second Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement dated as of June 14, 2006 (as amended, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) which provides for, inter, alia, the appointment of the Collateral Agent to administer the Collateral (defined below).

6




issuer of Foreign Pledged Shares pursuant to Section 951 (or a successor provision) of the Internal Revenue Code);

(ii)           the indebtedness from time to time owed to such Grantor by any obligor that is, or becomes, a direct or indirect Subsidiary of such Grantor, or by any obligor of which such Grantor is a direct or indirect subsidiary, including the indebtedness described on Schedule 1(e)(ii) and issued by the obligors named therein, and the instruments evidencing such indebtedness excluding, however, (A) any such indebtedness owing to or from any of the Harbor Capital Companies, (B) any such indebtedness owing from OI General FTS, Inc., and (C) in the case of Company and Packaging, any of the foregoing pledged thereby as Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, including without limitation the Company Pledged Debt and the Packaging Pledged Debt (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) (subject to such exclusions, the “Pledged Debt”), and all interest, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Debt; and

(iii)          all other investment property of such Grantor (unless expressly excluded in clauses (i) and (ii) above) provided that no other enforceable restrictions exist on the pledging or hypothecation thereof;

(f)            the “Intellectual Property Collateral”, which term means:

(i)            all rights, title and interest (including rights acquired pursuant to a license or otherwise) in and to all trademarks, service marks, designs, logos, indicia, tradenames, trade dress, corporate names, company names, business names, fictitious business names, trade styles and/or other source and/or business identifiers and applications pertaining thereto, owned by such Grantor, or hereafter adopted and used, in its business (collectively, the “Trademarks”), all registrations that have been or may hereafter be issued or applied for thereon in the United States and any state thereof and in foreign countries (the “Trademark Registrations”), all common law and other rights in and to the Trademarks in the United States and any state thereof and in foreign countries (the “Trademark Rights”), and all goodwill of such Grantor’s business symbolized by the Trademarks and associated therewith (the “Associated Goodwill”):

(ii)           all rights, title and interest (including rights acquired pursuant to a license or otherwise) in and to all patents and patent applications and rights and interests in patents and patent applications under any domestic or foreign law that are presently, or in the future may be, owned or held by such Grantor and all patents and patent applications and rights, title and interests in patents and patent applications under any domestic or foreign law that are presently, or in the future may be, owned by such Grantor in whole or in part all rights corresponding thereto (including, without limitation, the right, exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to sue for past, present and future infringements in the name of such Grantor or in the name of Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties), and all re-issues, divisions, continuations, renewals, extensions and continuations-in-part thereof (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the “Patents”); it being understood that the rights and interests included in the Intellectual Property Collateral hereby shall include, without

7




limitation, all rights and interests pursuant to licensing or other contracts in favor of such Grantor pertaining to patent applications and patents presently or in the future owned or used by third parties but, in the case of third parties which are not Affiliates of such Grantor, only to the extent permitted by such licensing or other contracts and, if not so permitted, only with the consent of such third parties; and

(iii)          all rights, title and interest (including rights acquired pursuant to a license or otherwise) under copyrights in various published and unpublished works of authorship including, without limitation, computer programs, computer data bases, other computer software, layouts, trade dress, drawings, designs, writings, and formulas owned by such Grantor (collectively, the “Copyrights”), all copyright registrations issued to such Grantor and applications for copyright registration that have been or may hereafter be issued or applied for thereon by such Grantor in the United States and any state thereof and in foreign countries (including, without limitation, any registrations listed on Schedule 1(f)(iii)) (collectively, the “Copyright Registrations”), all common law and other rights in and to the Copyrights in the United States and any state thereof and in foreign countries including all copyright licenses (but with respect to such copyright licenses, only to the extent permitted by such licensing arrangements) (the “Copyright Rights”), including, without limitation, each of the Copyrights, rights, titles and interests in and to the Copyrights, all derivative works and other works protectable by copyright, which are presently, or in the future may be, owned, created (as a work for hire for the benefit of such Grantor), authored (as a work for hire for the benefit of such Grantor), or acquired by such Grantor, in whole or in part, and all Copyright Rights with respect thereto and all Copyright Registrations therefor, heretofore or hereafter granted or applied for, and all renewals and extensions thereof, throughout the world, including all proceeds thereof (such as, by way of example and not by limitation, license royalties and proceeds of infringement suits), the right to renew and extend such Copyright Registrations and Copyright Rights and to register works protectable by copyright and the right to sue for past, present and future infringements of the Copyrights and Copyright Rights;

(g)           all information used or useful or arising from the business of such Grantor including all goodwill, trade secrets, trade secret rights, know-how, customer lists, processes of production, ideas, confidential business information, techniques, processes, formulas, and all other proprietary information;

(h)           to the extent not included or expressly excluded in any other paragraph of this Section 1, all general intangibles, including, without limitation, tax refunds, payment intangibles, other rights to payment or performance, choses in action, software and judgments taken on any rights or claims included in the Collateral;

(i)            all plant fixtures, business fixtures and other fixtures and storage and office facilities, and all accessions thereto and products thereof, to the extent a part of, used in connection with, or appurtenant to a Mortgaged Property;

(j)            all books, records, ledger cards, files, correspondence, computer programs, tapes, disks and related data processing software that at any time evidence or contain information relating to any of the Collateral or are otherwise necessary or helpful in the collection thereof or realization thereupon; and

 

8




 

(k)           all proceeds, products, rents and profits of or from any and all of the foregoing Collateral and, to the extent not otherwise included, all payments under insurance (whether or not Collateral Agent or a Secured Party is the loss payee thereof), or any indemnity, warranty or guaranty, payable by reason of loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “proceeds” includes whatever is receivable or received when Collateral or proceeds are sold, exchanged, collected or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral include, and no Grantor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in (i) any of such Grantor’s rights or interests in any license, contract or agreement to which such Grantor is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under the terms of such license, contract or agreement or otherwise, result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under any license, contract or agreement to which such Grantor is a party or is bound (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, as it exists on the date of this Agreement or as it may hereafter be amended, in the State of New York (the “UCC”) or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity); provided, that immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such provision, the Collateral shall include, and such Grantor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all such rights and interests as if such provision had never been in effect, or (ii) any real property leasehold, unless a Grantor has executed a leasehold mortgage or leasehold deed of trust covering such real property leasehold.

Each item of Collateral listed in this Section 1 that is defined in Articles 8 or 9 of the UCC shall have the meaning set forth in the UCC, as it exists on the date of this Agreement or as it may hereafter be amended, it being the intention of the Grantors that the description of the Collateral set forth above be construed to include the broadest possible range of assets, except for assets expressly excluded as set forth above.

The foregoing pledges and grants of security interests confirm the pledges and grants of first priority security interests in the Collateral to secure the Secured Obligations made in the Original Security Agreement and the Amended and Restated Security Agreement and continue in all respects the pledges and grants therein without in any way causing any interruption in continuity from such original pledges and grants.

SECTION 2.         Security for Obligations.

 

Subject to the limited exclusion set forth below with respect to the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Secured Notes and any Specified New Senior Debt, this Agreement secures, and the Collateral assigned by each Grantor is collateral security for, the prompt payment or performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including without limitation the payment of amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), of all Secured Obligations of such Grantor, provided that in no event shall more than 65% of the Foreign Pledged Shares of any Person be security for or be assigned or pledged on account of any Domestic Obligations and provided, further, that, the Securities Collateral described in clauses (e)(i) and (e)(ii) of the definition thereof (other than any such

9




Securities Collateral directly owned by or owed to Company or Packaging) (such Securities Collateral, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents, instruments or certificates evidencing same and any proceeds of such Securities Collateral being the “Excluded Securities Collateral”) shall not be security for or be assigned or pledged on account of the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Secured Notes or any Specified New Senior Debt and such Excluded Securities Collateral shall not be held by Collateral Agent for the benefit of any holder thereof or any New Senior Debt Representative with respect thereto. “Secured Obligations” means:

(a)           all obligations and liabilities of every nature of:

SECTION 5.         Further Assurances.

 

(a)           Generally. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Grantors, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Collateral Agent may request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor will:  (i) execute or authorize and cause to be filed such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, agreements establishing that Collateral Agent has control of specified items of Collateral as required by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as Collateral Agent may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, (ii) furnish to Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral as required herein and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail, (iii) at any reasonable time, upon request by Collateral Agent, exhibit the Collateral to and allow inspection of the Collateral by Collateral Agent, or persons designated by Collateral Agent, (iv) at Collateral Agent’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor’s title to or Collateral Agent’s security interest in all or any material part of the Collateral, and (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents of third parties to the assignment and perfection of a security interest to Collateral Agent with respect to any material Collateral, except with respect to Permitted Encumbrances. Each Grantor hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of any Grantor and agrees that any such financing statement or amendment thereto may describe the collateral as “all assets of the debtor.”  Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement authorized hereby or signed by such Grantor (if necessary) shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any and all jurisdictions.

(b)           Securities Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 5(a), each Grantor agrees that it will, upon obtaining any additional shares of stock or other securities consisting of Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt required to be pledged hereunder or under subsection 5.9 of the Credit Agreement, promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) deliver to Collateral Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such Grantor, in substantially the form of Exhibit II (a “Pledge Amendment”), in respect of the additional Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement. Upon each

13




delivery of a Pledge Amendment to Collateral Agent, the representations and warranties contained in clauses (i)-(iii) of Section 4(g) hereof shall be deemed to have been made by such Grantor as to the Securities Collateral described in such Pledge Amendment as of the date thereof. Each Grantor hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt of such Grantor listed on any Pledge Amendment shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Collateral of such Grantor; provided, the failure of any Grantor to execute a Pledge Amendment with respect to any additional Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt pledged pursuant to this Agreement shall not impair the security interest of the Secured Parties therein or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder with respect thereto.

(b)           Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), each Grantor shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under the Accounts and Related Contracts. In connection with such collections, each Grantor may take (and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default at Collateral Agent’s direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of amounts due or to become due under the Accounts; provided, however, that

14




Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to Collateral Agent and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to Collateral Agent, to notify each Person maintaining a lockbox or similar arrangement to which account debtors or obligors under any Accounts have been directed to make payment to remit all amounts representing collections on checks and other payment items from time to time sent to or deposited in such lockbox or other arrangement directly to Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of Grantors, to enforce collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. After receipt by such Grantor of the notice from Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence and for so long as such Event of Default continues, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Accounts and the Related Contracts shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 18, and (ii) except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.

Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(b)           Covenants. Each Grantor shall (i) except for any merger or consolidation which constitutes a sale, transfer or other disposition permitted by the Credit Agreement where the Credit Agreement does not require the pledge of the capital stock or other equity interests of the surviving or resulting corporation, pledge hereunder all the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of the surviving or resulting person in any merger or consolidation involving securities pledged hereunder, (ii) cause each issuer of Pledged Shares not to issue any stock, other equity interests or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Shares issued by such issuer, except to such Grantor or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement; (iii) pledge hereunder, in accordance with subsection 5.9 of the Credit Agreement, any and all additional shares of stock, other equity interests or other securities of each issuer of Pledged Shares; (iv) pledge hereunder, promptly upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly)

15




thereof, any and all shares of stock or other equity interests of any Person that, after the date of this Agreement, becomes, as a result of any occurrence, a direct Subsidiary of such Grantor, to the extent required by subsection 5.9 of the Credit Agreement; (v) pledge hereunder, promptly upon their issuance, any and all instruments or other evidences of additional indebtedness from time to time owed to such Grantor by any obligor on the Pledged Debt; (vi) pledge hereunder, promptly upon their issuance, any and all instruments or other evidences of indebtedness which constitute Pledged Debt from time to time owed to such Grantor by any Person that after the date of this Agreement becomes, as a result of any occurrence, a direct or indirect Subsidiary of such Grantor; provided, that the foregoing covenant shall exclude any such instruments or evidences of indebtedness issued by any of the Harbor Capital Companies or any such instruments or evidences of indebtedness required to be pledged under the Pledge Agreement; (vii) promptly deliver to Collateral Agent all material written notices received by it with respect to the Securities Collateral; and (viii) at the request of Collateral Agent, promptly execute and deliver to Collateral Agent an agreement providing for the control, as that term is defined in the UCC, by Collateral Agent of all securities entitlements and securities accounts of such Grantor not otherwise subject to Permitted Encumbrances and provided that no other enforceable restrictions exist on the pledging or the hypothecation thereof.

(c)           Voting and Distributions. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

(i) each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Securities Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that neither (i) the voting by a Grantor of any Pledged Shares for, or a Pledgor’s consent to, the election of directors at a regularly scheduled annual or other meeting of stockholders or with respect to incidental matters at any such meeting nor (ii) a Pledgor’s consent to or approval of any action otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement shall be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, impairing in any material manner the Pledged Shares or the material rights of any of the Secured Parties), within the meaning of this Section 9(c).

(ii) each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain, and to utilize free and clear of the lien of this Agreement, any and all dividends, other distributions and interest paid in respect of the Securities Collateral; provided, that, any and all (A) dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Securities Collateral, and (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Securities Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus, shall forthwith be delivered to Collateral Agent to hold as, Securities Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and be forthwith delivered to Collateral Agent as Securities Collateral in the same form as so received (with all necessary endorsements).

16




 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (x) upon written notice from Collateral Agent to any Grantor, all rights of such Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights during the continuation of such Event of Default; (y) all rights of such Grantor to receive the dividends, other distributions and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Securities Collateral such dividends, other distributions and interest payments during the continuation of such Event of Default, provided that nothing herein shall restrict or limit the right of a Grantor to directly or indirectly make or receive dividends, distributions, principal or interest payments for the purpose of making such amounts available to Company to make Holdings Ordinary Course Payments permitted to be paid pursuant to subsection 6.5 of the Credit Agreement; and (z) all dividends, principal, interest payments and other distributions which are received by such Grantor contrary to the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph or clause (y) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to Collateral Agent as Securities Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

In order to permit Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (I) upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Collateral Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request, and (II) without limiting the effect of clause (I) above, each Grantor hereby grants to Collateral Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Shares and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Shares would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders or other holders of equity interests, calling special meetings of shareholders or other holders of equity interests and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Shares on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Shares or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon (i) the payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the related agreements and the cancellation of any outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the cure of the Event of Default.

SECTION 10.       Special Covenants With Respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, each Grantor shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any portion thereof. In connection with such collections, each Grantor may take (and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default at Collateral Agent’s reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection of

17




such amounts; provided, Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby and to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by each Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 18, and (ii) such Grantor shall not, without the consent of the Collateral Agent, adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.

(b)           In addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the granting of a security interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, each Grantor, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (but only to the extent to do so would not breach a contract binding on such Grantor), hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Collateral Agent the nonexclusive right and license to use all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents or technical processes (including, without limitation, the Intellectual Property Collateral) owned or used by such Grantor that relate to the Collateral and any other collateral granted by such Grantor as security for the Secured Obligations, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable Collateral Agent to realize on the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of the Collateral to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral. This right shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of Collateral Agent and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license shall be granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to such Grantor. If and to the extent that any Grantor licenses the Intellectual Property Collateral, upon such Grantor’s request and provided no Event of Default then exists, Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into a non-disturbance agreement or other similar arrangement, at such Grantor’s request and expense, with such Grantor and any licensee of any Intellectual Property Collateral permitted hereunder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent pursuant to which (i) Collateral Agent shall agree not to disturb or interfere with such licensee’s rights under its license agreement with such Grantor so long as such licensee is not in default thereunder, and (ii) such licensee shall acknowledge and agree that the Intellectual Property Collateral licensed to it is subject to the security interest created in favor of Collateral Agent and the other terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.       Collateral Account.

 

Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain at its office at 60 Wall Street, New York, New York, a blocked account in the name of the Grantors and under the sole dominion and control of Collateral Agent and such blocked account will be a restricted deposit account designated “OI L/C Collateral Account”.

All deposits of funds in the L/C Collateral Account shall be made by wire transfer (or, if applicable, by intra-bank transfer from another account of a Grantor) of immediately available funds, in each case addressed in accordance with instructions of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor shall, promptly after initiating a transfer of funds to the L/C Collateral Account, give notice to Collateral Agent by telefacsimile of the date, amount and method of delivery of such deposit. Cash held by Collateral Agent in the L/C Collateral Account shall not be invested by Collateral Agent but instead shall be maintained as a cash deposit in the L/C Collateral Account pending application thereof as elsewhere provided in this Agreement. To the extent permitted under Regulation Q of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, any cash held in the L/C Collateral Account shall bear interest at the standard rate paid by Collateral Agent to its customers generally for deposits of like amounts and terms. Subject to Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder, any interest earned on deposits of cash in the L/C Collateral Account shall be deposited directly in, and held in the L/C Collateral Account.

SECTION 13.       Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.

 

Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation:

(e)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand;

(f)            upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; and

(g)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Collateral Agent’s option and Grantors’ expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

SECTION 14.       Collateral Agent May Perform.

 

If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantors under Section 19(b).

SECTION 15.       Standard of Care.

 

The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Collateral Agent accords its own property.

SECTION 16.       Remedies.

 

(a)           Generally. If (i) any “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) after such time as all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, and provided, that, the Collateral then secures the payment and performance of any obligations under any New Senior Debt Documents or any Other Permitted Credit Exposure Documents, if any event of default under (A) any obligations under any New Senior Debt Documents which are secured by Collateral, or (B) any obligations under any Other Permitted Credit Exposure Documents which are secured by Collateral, as the case may be (either such occurrence being an “Event of Default” for purposes of this Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble such of the Collateral as may reasonably be assembled as directed by Collateral Agent and make it available to Collateral Agent at a place or places to be designated by Collateral Agent and reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Collateral Agent deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of such Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, (v) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise dominion and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any Deposit Account maintained with Collateral Agent or any Lender constituting a part of the Collateral and (vii) without notice to any Grantor, transfer to or to register in the name of Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Securities Collateral. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party other than the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale but no Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent on behalf of Secured Parties) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such Person as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable by such Person at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such

21




sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 16 will cause irreparable injury to Collateral Agent, that 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 Section 16 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred or is continuing giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.

(b)           Securities Collateral. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Securities Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Securities Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Shares to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Collateral Agent all such information as Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Securities Collateral which may be sold by Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(c)           L/C Collateral Account. (i) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in accordance with Section 7 of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) if any Proceeds (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) derived from the Collateral remain after application thereof to prepayment of the Loans as required under the Credit Agreement and as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, Borrowers must pay to Collateral Agent an amount (the “Aggregate Available Amount”) equal to the maximum amount that may at any time be drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding, and Borrowers shall deliver funds in such an amount for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account. If for any reason the aggregate amount delivered by Borrowers for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account as aforesaid is less than the Aggregate Available Amount, the aggregate amount so delivered by Borrowers shall be apportioned among all outstanding Letters of Credit for purposes of this Section 16 in accordance with the ratio of

22




the maximum amount available for drawing under each such Letter of Credit (as to such Letter of Credit, the “Maximum Available Amount”) to the Aggregate Available Amount. Upon any drawing under any outstanding Letter of Credit in respect of which Borrowers have deposited in the L/C Collateral Account any amounts described above, Collateral Agent shall apply such amounts to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of such drawing. In the event of cancellation or expiration of any Letter of Credit in respect of which Company has deposited in the L/C Collateral Account any amounts described above, or in the event of any reduction in the Maximum Available Amount under such Letter of Credit, Collateral Agent shall apply the amount then on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account in respect of such Letter of Credit (less, in the case of such a reduction, the Maximum Available Amount under such Letter of Credit immediately after such reduction) (A) first, to the payment of any amounts payable to Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 18 hereof, (B) second, to the extent of any excess, to the cash collateralization pursuant to the terms of this Agreement of any outstanding Letters of Credit in respect of which Borrowers have failed to pay all or a portion of the amounts described above (such cash collateralization to be apportioned among all such Letters of Credit in the manner described above), and (C) third, to the extent of any further excess, as provided in Section 3(a)(ii) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 17.       Additional Remedies for Intellectual Property Collateral.

 

(a)           Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name of any Grantor, Collateral Agent or otherwise, to enforce its rights with respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral, in which event each Grantor shall, at the request of Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and each Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Collateral Agent as provided in subsections 10.3 and 10.4 of the Credit Agreement and Section 19 hereof, as applicable, in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 17, and, to the extent that Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property Collateral as provided in this Section 17, each Grantor agrees to use all commercially reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any material Intellectual Property Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to use its commercially reasonable judgment in maintaining any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing reasonably necessary to prevent such infringement; (ii) upon written demand from Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that Collateral Agent (or any Lender) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property Collateral; and (iv) within five Business Days after written notice from Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks, Trademark Registrations and Trademark Rights, such

23




persons to be available to perform their prior functions on Collateral Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default.

(b)           If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment to Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property Collateral shall have been previously made, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor on behalf of itself and/or any other Grantor, Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each such Grantor such assignments as may be necessary to reassign to each such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by Collateral Agent; provided, that, after giving effect to such reassignment, Collateral Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided, further, that, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Liens (if any) encumbering such rights, title and interest at the time of their assignment to Collateral Agent and Permitted Encumbrances.

SECTION 18.       Application of Proceeds.

 

Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all Proceeds received by Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, other realization upon, or any distribution on account of all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in the following order of priority; provided, that, Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds arising from destruction, damage or condemnation of Collateral and Net Debt Securities Proceeds arising from issuance of Receivables Sales Indebtedness shall be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement:

FIRST:  To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of Grantors, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder;

SECOND:  To the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof (including any Aggregate Available Amount deposited into the L/C Collateral Account for outstanding Letters of Credit, provided that if such Letters of Credit expire without being fully drawn, then at that time, such excess amounts shall be applied as provided in this Section 18 to then outstanding Secured Obligations) and, as to obligations arising under the Credit Agreement, as provided in the Credit Agreement, provided, that, no Proceeds received by Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, other realization upon, or any distribution on account of all or any part of the Excluded Securities Collateral shall be applied toward payment of obligations in

24




respect of the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Secured Notes or Specified New Senior Debt (and neither the holders thereof nor the New Senior Debt Representative in respect thereof shall be entitled to any increased portion of any Proceeds of any other Collateral due to such exclusion); provided, further, that, in making such application in respect of outstanding obligations under New Senior Debt Documents, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deduct from the share of such Proceeds otherwise payable to the New Senior Debt Representatives the New Senior Debt holders’ pro rata share of all amounts that the Collateral Agent has been paid by the Paying Indemnifying Parties (such term being used in this Section 18 as defined in Section 7(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement; and

THIRD:  To the payment to or upon the order of the applicable Grantor, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

SECTION 19.       Indemnity and Expenses.

(a)           Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify Collateral Agent, each Secured Party, including each Lender, each other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder, each holder of New Senior Debt and each New Senior Debt Representative from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from Collateral Agent’s or such Secured Party’s, Lender’s, Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder’s or New Senior Debt Representative’s or holder’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or from any failure on the part of Collateral Agent to file any continuation statements with respect to the Collateral.

(b)           Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay to Collateral Agent upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(c)           The obligations of Grantors in this Section 19 shall (i) survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Grantors’ other obligations under this Agreement, the Other Permitted Credit Exposure Documents, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii), as to any Grantor that is a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty, be subject to the provisions thereof regarding contribution among such Grantors.

SECTION 20.       Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans; Termination and Release.

(a)           This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (A) termination of the security interest granted hereby pursuant to Section 20(b), and (B) the payment in full of the

25




Secured Obligations (excluding the Other Permitted Credit Exposure and obligations under or in respect of the New Senior Debt Documents), the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (ii) be binding upon Grantors and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Collateral Agent and its successors, and permitted transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), (A) but subject to the provisions of subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders as Secured Parties herein or otherwise, (B) any Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder may assign or otherwise transfer any Other Permitted Credit Exposure to any other Lender or Affiliate of  Lender in accordance with the applicable Other Permitted Credit Exposure Documents and such other permitted assignee shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder as a Secured Party herein or otherwise and (C) any holder of any New Senior Debt may assign or otherwise transfer any New Senior Debt to any other Person in accordance with the applicable New Senior Debt Documents and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such holder (or its representative) as a Secured Party herein or otherwise.

(b)           Upon the earlier to occur of (i) payment in full of all Secured Obligations (excluding the Other Permitted Credit Exposure and obligations under or in respect of the New Senior Debt Documents), the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, and (ii) the first date on which the Collateral no longer secures the Obligations and upon election of Grantors, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantors. Upon any such termination Collateral Agent will, at Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Upon the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by a Grantor or of a Grantor in accordance with the Credit Agreement (including pursuant to the Specified Restructuring) for which such Grantor desires to obtain a security interest release from Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate (x) stating that the Collateral subject to such disposition is being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and (y) specifying the Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. In addition, the Lenders hereby agree to the release of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in a Deposit Account in which such Grantor has granted a security interest as permitted under subsection 6.2A(x) of the Credit Agreement, upon delivery by such Grantor of an Officer’s Certificate (x) specifying the applicable Deposit Account, and (y) stating that the applicable Deposit Account is being pledged as permitted by subsection 6.2A(x) of the Credit Agreement. Upon the receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense, so long as Collateral Agent has no reason to believe that the Officer’s Certificate delivered by such Grantor with respect to such sale is not true and correct (and, with respect to a requested release of a Deposit Account, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral which is to be so sold, transferred or disposed of or, in the case of a Deposit Account that is to be subjected to a lien permitted under subsection 6.2A(x) of the Credit Agreement, as may be reasonably requested by such Grantor. If Requisite Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or if required, all Lenders, consent to the release or reconveyance of any of the Collateral,

26




Collateral Agent shall release, and at Grantors’ expense execute and deliver any necessary releases of, its security interest in such Collateral in connection therewith and all such reconveyances or transfers shall be without recourse to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties and without representation or warranty of any kind.

SECTION 21.       Collateral Agent as Agent.

 

(a)           Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Secured Parties and, by such appointment, Lenders, Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holders and New Senior Debt Representatives shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including without limitation the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 16 in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Obligees (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 21(a), each Lender, Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder and New Senior Debt Representative, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by each such Lender, Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder and New Senior Debt Representative that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms of this Section 21(a).

(b)           Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder or New Senior Debt Representative until it shall have received written notice in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent from a Grantor, or such Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder or New Senior Debt Representative as to the existence and terms of the applicable Other Permitted Credit Exposure Documents or New Senior Debt Documents, as the case may be.

SECTION 22.       Additional Grantors.

 

The initial Subsidiary Grantors hereunder shall be such of the Subsidiaries of Company as are signatories hereto on the date hereof. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Company may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Counterpart substantially in the form of Exhibit I annexed hereto. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart to Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each such Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

27




 

SECTION 23.       Amendments; Etc.

 

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Agent and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Grantors; provided, that, this Agreement may be modified by the execution of a Counterpart by an Additional Grantor in accordance with Section 22 and Grantors hereby waive any requirement of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

SECTION 24.       Notices.

 

Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telexed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided, that, notices to Collateral Agent shall not be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of each Grantor shall be c/o Borrowers’ Agent at the address set forth therefor in the Credit Agreement and the address of each other party hereto shall be as provided in the Credit Agreement or as set forth under such party’s name on the signature pages hereof or such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto.

SECTION 25.       Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

 

No failure or delay on the part of Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

SECTION 26.       Severability.

 

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 27.       Headings.

 

Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

28

Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Credit Agreement, terms used in Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC are used herein as therein defined. The rules of construction set forth in subsection 1.3 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.

Grantor and Collateral Agent acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement for each Grantor and Collateral Agent to enter into a business relationship, that each Grantor and Collateral Agent have already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings. Each Grantor and Collateral Agent further warrant and represent that each has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel.

In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
