4.4 Notices. Each Grantor will advise the Agent and the Secured Parties promptly, in reasonable detail, of any Lien (other than Liens created hereby or Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement) on any of the Collateral which would adversely affect the ability of the Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder; and of the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the Liens created hereby.

Each Grantor will permit the Agent from time to time to cause the applicable Loan Party as issuer (and, if held with a securities intermediary, such securities intermediary) of uncertificated Securities or other types of Pledged Equity not represented by certificates owned by it to mark its books and records with respect thereto to reflect the Lien of the Agent granted pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to any Pledged Equity owned by it, each Grantor will, upon request by the Agent, cause (a) each applicable Loan Party and (b) any securities intermediary which is the holder of any such Pledged Equity, to cause the Agent to have and retain Control over such Pledged Equity.

(b) Issuance of Additional Securities. Each Grantor will not permit or suffer any issuer of an Equity Interest constituting Pledged Equity owned by it to issue additional Equity Interests, any right to receive the same or any right to receive earnings, except to such Grantor.

(i) Subject to clause (ii) below, each Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Equity owned by it for all purposes not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided however, that no vote or other right shall be exercised or action taken which would have the effect of impairing the rights of the Agent in respect of such Pledged Equity.

(ii) Each Grantor will permit the Agent or its nominee at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Equity owned by it, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Equity Interest or Investment Property constituting such Pledged Equity as if it were the absolute owner thereof.

(iv) All Excluded Payments, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Agent to hold as Pledged Equity and shall, if received by any Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor, and be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Pledged Equity in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(e) Securities. Each Grantor shall not permit any Equity Interest which is included within the Collateral at any time to constitute a Security or permit the issuer of any such Equity Interest to take any action to have such interests treated as a Security unless (i) all certificates or other documents constituting such Security have been delivered to the Agent and such Security is properly defined as such under Article 8 of the New York UCC, whether as a result of actions by the issuer thereof or otherwise, or (ii) the Agent has entered into a Securities Account Control Agreement with the issuer of such Security or with a securities intermediary relating to such Security.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and the Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in

 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT, PAGE 10


any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

5.2 Application of Proceeds. After an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Agent’s election, the Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds held in any collateral account in payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Agent may elect, and any part of such funds which the Agent elects not to so apply and deems not required as collateral security for the Secured Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Agent to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be turned over to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

5.3 Code and Other Remedies. After an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, without further demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below), to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith (i) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, (ii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Securities Account Control Agreement and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral, (iii) concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, collect and receive all cash dividends and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Equity as though the Agent was the outright owner thereof and/or (iv) sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.3, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses

 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT, PAGE 11


of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615 of the New York UCC, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

5.4 Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-615 of the New York UCC. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 6. THE AGENT

6.1 Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following after and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT, PAGE 12


(iii) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; and generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b) The expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Agent to the date reimbursed by the Grantors, shall be payable by the Grantors to the Agent on demand.

(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

6.2 Duty of Agent. The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Agent, any Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.3 Filing of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of the Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT, PAGE 13


6.4 Authority of Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Agent and the Grantors, the Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Grantors shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

7.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Credit Agreement.

7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

7.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Agent.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold each Secured Party and the Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities,

 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT, PAGE 14


obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Secured Obligations and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by such Indemnitee (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that such Grantor shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(d) The agreements in this Section 7.4 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Grantors and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent.

7.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent and each Secured Party at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default without notice to such Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by such Grantor, to set-off and hold as collateral security in any collateral account or otherwise as cash collateral for the Secured Obligations to be applied to the Secured Obligations when due, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Agent or such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of the Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Agent or such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Grantor to the Agent or such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Agent or such Secured Party against the Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise, as the Agent or such Secured Party may elect, whether or not the Agent or any Secured Party has made any demand for payment, whether or not any of the Secured Obligations are otherwise fully secured and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Agent and each Secured Party shall notify the Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Agent or such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agent and each Secured Party under this Section 7.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Agent or such Secured Party may have.

7.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT, PAGE 15


7.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
