(i)           Those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, provided that this clause (i) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default.

(iii)          Give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Deposit Account Control Agreement or other control agreement with any securities intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral.

(v)           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 Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof.

 

5.1.2.      The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

5.1.4.      Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

 

5.1.5.      [Reserved].

5.1.6.      Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

5.2.         Grantors Obligations Upon Default.  Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor will:

this Security Agreement, may sell such Inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any such Inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Collateral Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) finish any work in process and affix any trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.

WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

 

No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by each Grantor and the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the requisite parties under Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement), and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth; provided that the addition of any Subsidiary as a Grantor hereunder by execution of a Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Annex I (with such modifications as shall be acceptable to the Collateral Agent) shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution of any documentation by any other Grantor party hereto.  All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Collateral Agent, and the Secured Parties until Payment in Full.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

PROCEEDS; COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES

 

7.1.         Lockboxes.  Upon request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent irrevocable lockbox agreements in the form provided by or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, which agreements, if so required by the Collateral Agent, shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the lockbox is located of the Lien of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to a special collateral account at the Collateral Agent.

 

7.2.         Collection of Receivables.  The Collateral Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, by giving each Grantor written notice, elect to require that the Receivables be paid directly to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  In such event, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall, and shall permit the Collateral Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Receivables owned by such Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s interest therein and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under such Receivables directly to the Collateral Agent.  Upon receipt of any such notice from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor

7.3.         Special Collateral Account.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may require, by giving the Grantors written notice, that all cash proceeds of the Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Collateral Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations.  No Grantor shall have any control whatsoever over such cash collateral account.  The Collateral Agent may from time to time deposit the collected balances in such cash collateral account into the applicable Grantor’s general operating account with the Administrative Agent.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders), from time to time, direct the Collateral Agent to, and the Collateral Agent shall, transfer the collected balances in such cash collateral account to the Administrative Agent for application to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof.

ARTICLE VIII

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

8.1.         Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral; Certain Waivers.  Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made.  To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten (10) days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, or its or their agents, employees, officers, nominees or other representatives, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of

 

20



 

sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral, and waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or setoff that such Grantor may have against the Collateral or any other Grantor until Payment in Full.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ rights hereunder shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by: (i) the renewal, extension, modification, amendment or alteration of any Loan Document in accordance with the terms thereof; (ii) any adjustment, indulgence, delay, omission, forbearance or compromise, or any full or partial release, that might be granted or given by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to any primary or secondary obligor under the Loan Documents or in connection with any Collateral; or (iii) notice of any of the foregoing.

 

8.2.         Limitation on Collateral Agents and other Secured Parties Duty with Respect to the Collateral.  The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.  The Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control (or in the possession or under the care of any agent, employee, officer, nominee or other representative of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party).  Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.  To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to

 

21



 

assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agents exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2.  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.

 

8.3.         Compromises and Collection of Collateral.  Each Grantor and the Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable.  In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

 

8.4.         Secured Party Performance of Grantors Obligations.  Without having any obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent at the Collateral Agent’s direction)  may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and fails to so perform or pay and such Grantor shall reimburse the Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent, if applicable) for any reasonable and documented amounts paid by the Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent, if applicable) pursuant to this Section 8.4.  Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent, if applicable) pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

 

8.5.         Authorization for Agents to Take Certain Action.  Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, and appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Collateral owned by such Grantor and with financial

 

22



 

intermediaries holding other Investment Property which is Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give the Collateral Agent Control (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) over such Investment Property, (v) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the terms of Section 4.1.5 hereof, to enforce payment of the Instruments, Accounts and Receivables constituting Collateral in the name of the Collateral Agent or such Grantor, (vi) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VII and (vii) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable and documented payment made or any reasonable and documented expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, provided that this authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.

 

8.6.         Specific Performance of Certain Covenants.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 5.2 or in Article VII hereof will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.

 

8.7.         Use and Possession of Certain Premises.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Grantors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Secured Obligations are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy, subject to Section 8.2 hereof all respects.

 

8.8.         [Reserved.]

 

8.9.         Reinstatement.  This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

8.10.       Benefit of Agreement.  The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured

 

23



 

Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement); provided that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.  No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder.

 

8.11.       Survival of Representations.  All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

 

8.12.       Taxes and Expenses.  To the extent required by Section 4.02 of the Credit Agreement, any Other Taxes payable or ruled payable by a Federal or State authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Grantors, together with, to the extent required by Section 4.02 of the Credit Agreement, interest and penalties, if any.  The Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable external legal, auditors’ and accountants’ fees) if and to the extent the Borrowers are required to reimburse such amounts under Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement.  Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.

 

8.13.       Headings.  The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

 

8.14.       Termination; Release of Non-Current Assets.

 

(a)         This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until Payment in Full.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of any individual Grantor under this Security Agreement shall automatically terminate to the extent provided in and in accordance with Section 11.22 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)         If at any time any Collateral shall be reclassified as, or otherwise becomes, a Non-Current Asset, then the security interest and Lien of the Collateral Agent in such Collateral shall be automatically released.  The Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents or instruments reasonably requested to further evidence the release of such security interest and Lien in such assets or property if the Company certifies to the Collateral Agent that such has assets or property has been reclassified as a Non-Current Asset (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).  Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Grantors in respect of) all interests retained by the Grantors in the Collateral.

 

24



 

8.15.       Entire Agreement.  This Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

8.16.4.    Each party to this Security Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Article IX of this Security Agreement other than by facsimile.  Nothing in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Security Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

8.16.5.    Each Grantor agrees that any suit, action or proceeding brought by any Grantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the state courts sitting in the Borough of

 

25



 

Manhattan in the event the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction), and any appellate court from any thereof, unless no such court shall accept jurisdiction.

 

8.16.6.    The Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the event the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

8.16.7.    The Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 8.16.2.  The Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

8.16.8.    To the extent that any Grantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Grantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

8.16.9.    EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

26



 

8.17.       Indemnity.  Each Grantor hereby agrees, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties in accordance with Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

 

8.18.       Severability.  Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.

 

8.19.       Counterparts.  This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Security Agreement by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.

 

8.21.       Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to or in connection with this Security Agreement, and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.  For so long as the Intercreditor Agreement remains in effect, the delivery of any Collateral to the Term Loan Agent as required by the Intercreditor Agreement shall satisfy any delivery requirement with respect to such Collateral hereunder.  The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be deemed to be amended, waived or modified with respect to the Collateral to the extent any such amendment, waiver or modification is effected automatically under (and in accordance with the terms of) Section 6.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

ANNEX I

 

SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT

 

Reference is hereby made to the 364-Day Facility U.S. Pledge and Security Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Agreement”), dated as of August 16, 2018, among the Grantors (as defined therein), and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the Collateral Agent.  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

 

By its execution below, the undersigned, [NAME OF NEW GRANTOR], a [             ] [corporation/limited liability company/limited partnership] (the “New Grantor”) agrees to become, and does hereby become, a Grantor under the Agreement and agrees to be bound by the Agreement as if originally a party thereto. The New Grantor hereby collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and grants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired, to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Secured Obligations; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Loan Document, in no event shall the Collateral include or consist of, or the security interest or Lien granted under the Security Agreement attach to, any Excluded Property (nor shall any Excluded Property in any event constitute, or be deemed to constitute, Collateral). For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of a security interest herein shall not be deemed to be an assignment of intellectual property rights owned by the New Grantor.

 

By its execution below, the undersigned represents and warrants as to itself that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof. The New Grantor represents and warrants that the supplements to the Exhibits to the Agreement attached hereto are true and correct in all material respects and that such supplements set forth all information required to be scheduled under the Agreement with respect to the New Grantor. The New Grantor shall take all steps necessary and required under the Agreement to perfect, in favor of the Collateral Agent, a security interest in and lien against the New Grantors Collateral.

 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Grantor has executed and delivered this Security Agreement Supplement as of this                    day of              , 20  .
