Except for the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Permitted Liens, such Debtor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others.

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

Each Debtor covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations that, from and after the date of this Agreement until this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 7.12(a):

Section 4.01 Covenants in Priority Lien Debt Documents. Such Debtor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Priority Lien Debt Default and no event that is or with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would be a Priority Lien Debt Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Debtor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Insurance. Such Debtor will comply with the provisions of the Indenture and the other Priority Lien Debt Documents governing the maintenance of insurance for any of its assets constituting Collateral. All policies representing liability insurance of the Debtors shall name the Collateral Agent as additional insured in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and all policies representing casualty insurance of the Debtors insuring Collateral shall name the Collateral Agent as loss payee in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

Section 4.03 Maintenance of Collateral; Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation; Filing Authorization; Further Assurances; Power of Attorney. (a) Such Debtor shall maintain the Collateral that is material to the conduct of their respective businesses in good and insurable operating order, condition and repair. The Debtors shall pay all real estate and other taxes (except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings), and maintain in full force and effect all material permits, except, in each case, where the failure to effect such payment or maintain such permits is not adverse in any material respect to the holders of the Secured Obligations.

(b) Such Debtor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected first priority security interest prior to all other Liens other than Permitted Prior Liens (and subject to the limitations on perfection and method of perfection provided in Article 5) and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(c) Such Debtor will furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time (as set forth in the Indenture and the other Priority Lien Debt Documents) statements, schedules and perfection certificates (or supplements thereto) further identifying and describing the assets and property of such Debtor and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(d) Subject in each case to Article 5 and the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), each Debtor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the security interest in any and all of the Collateral

 

12


including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC, to the extent, if any, that any Debtor’s signature thereon is required therefor; (ii) causing the Collateral Agent’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the security interest in such Collateral; (iii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States or any other country as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to the attachment, perfection or priority of, or the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the security interest in such Collateral; and (iv) taking all actions required by the UCC or by other law, as applicable in any relevant Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction.

(e) Each Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, as directed by an Act of Required Priority Lien Debtholders, or its designee at any time and from time to time to file in any jurisdiction in which the Uniform Commercial Code has been adopted any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral and contain any other information required by the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any initial financing statement or amendment. Each Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request. Each Debtor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent or its designee to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof and in respect of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the authorization provided to the Collateral Agent in this Section 4.03(e), each Debtor shall be responsible for filing (and in furtherance of such obligation, each Debtor is hereby authorized to file) (i) any and all financing statements, (ii) continuations thereof and (iii) amendments thereto approved or requested by the Collateral Agent and, in each case, shall promptly furnish copies of the filed statements to the Collateral Agent.

(f) During the existence of a Priority Lien Debt Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:

(i) At the Collateral Agent’s request, each Debtor shall take any actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent with respect to such Priority Lien Debt Default, including diligently endeavoring to cure any material defect existing or claimed with respect to any Collateral, and taking all reasonably necessary and desirable steps for the defense of any legal proceedings affecting any Collateral, including the employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the release or discharge of all adverse claims;

(ii) The Collateral Agent, whether or not named as a party to any legal proceedings, is authorized to take any additional steps as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or desirable for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the protection of the validity or priority of this Agreement and the liens, security interests, and assignments created hereunder, including the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, the compromise or discharge of any adverse claims made with respect to any Collateral and the payment or removal of prior liens or security interests, and the reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent in taking such action shall be paid by the Debtors; and

 

13


(iii) Each Debtor agrees that, if such Debtor fails to perform under this Agreement or any other Priority Lien Debt Document, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, perform such Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement or such other Priority Lien Debt Document, and any reasonable expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in performing such Debtor’s obligations shall be paid by such Debtor. Any such performance by the Collateral Agent may be made in good faith by the Collateral Agent in reliance on any statement, invoice, or claim, without inquiry into the validity or accuracy thereof. The amount and nature of any expense of the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be conclusively established by a certificate of any officer of the Collateral Agent absent manifest error.

(g) Each Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all Persons designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Debtor’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this clause (g). The Collateral Agent, or the Collateral Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or a Debtor’s name, but at the cost and expense of Debtors:

(i) Endorse a Debtor’s name on any Payment Item constituting Proceeds of Collateral or other Proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into the Collateral Agent’s possession or control; and

Section 4.04 Delivery of Instruments and Documents. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral is or becomes evidenced by any Instrument, such Instrument shall, to the extent required by Article 5 and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), be immediately delivered to the Collateral Agent, duly indorsed, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. If any good constituting Collateral are or become covered by a negotiable Document, such Document shall, to the extent required by Article 5, be immediately delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

 

14


Section 4.05 Investment Property. With respect to Investment Property (other than Excluded Property) and Pledged Equity:

(a) If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any Pledged Equity which consists of certificated securities, whether as a stock split, stock dividend, or other distribution with respect to Pledged Equity, or otherwise, such Debtor shall promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify. If any Pledged Equity now owned or hereafter acquired by any Debtor consists of uncertificated securities and is issued to such Debtor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Debtor shall immediately notify the Collateral Agent in writing thereof, and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), shall take any actions reasonably requested by the Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) with respect thereto. If any Pledged Equity, whether certificated securities or uncertificated securities, or other Investment Property constituting Collateral now or hereafter acquired by any Debtor is held or acquired by such Debtor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, such Debtor shall immediately notify the Collateral Agent in writing thereof and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), shall take any actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 and/or Section 9-106 of the UCC, as applicable) with respect thereto, including the execution of Control Agreements reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. To the extent that the Collateral Agent has the right pursuant to the foregoing to give entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary or to withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Debtor, the Collateral Agent agrees with each Debtor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Debtor, unless a Priority Lien Debt Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) So long as no Priority Lien Debt Default has occurred and is continuing, each Debtor shall be entitled:

(i) to exercise, in a manner not inconsistent with the terms hereof, the voting power with respect to the Pledged Equity of such Debtor, and for that purpose the Collateral Agent shall (if any Pledged Equity shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee) execute or cause to be executed from time to time, at the expense of the Issuer, such proxies or other instruments in favor of such Debtor or its nominee, in such form and for such purposes as shall be reasonably requested by such Debtor, to enable it to exercise such voting power with respect to the Pledged Equity; and

(ii) except as otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, to receive and retain for its own account any and all payments, proceeds, dividends, distributions, property, assets, or rights to the extent such are permitted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, other than (x) stock or liquidating dividends or (y) other

 

15


dividends or other amounts payable under or in connection with any recapitalization, restructuring, or other non-ordinary course event (the dividends and amounts in this clause (y) being “Extraordinary Payments”), paid, issued or distributed from time to time in respect of the Pledged Equity. During the continuation of a Priority Lien Debt Default, if any Extraordinary Payment is paid or payable, then, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), such sum shall be paid by each such Debtor to the Collateral Agent promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof, to be held by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, as additional collateral hereunder.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Priority Lien Debt Default, all rights of each Debtor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 4.05(b) and to receive the payments, proceeds, dividends, distributions, property, assets, or rights that the Debtor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 4.05(b) shall cease, and thereupon the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Priority Lien Debtholders by an Act of Required Priority Lien Debtholders (or otherwise, as set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement), subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), shall be entitled to exercise all voting power with respect to the Pledged Equity and to receive and retain, as additional collateral hereunder, any and all payments, proceeds, dividends, distributions, property, assets, or rights at any time declared or paid upon any of the Pledged Equity during such a Priority Lien Debt Default and otherwise to act with respect to the Pledged Equity as outright owner thereof. In the event that the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Priority Lien Debtholders by an Act of Required Priority Lien Debtholders (or otherwise, as set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement), exercises its rights under this Section 4.05(c), it shall concurrently deliver notice thereof to the Issuer.

(d) All payments, proceeds, dividends, distributions, property, assets, instruments or rights that are received by each Debtor contrary to the provisions of this Section 4.05 shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, shall be segregated by each Debtor from other funds of such Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Equity in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(e) If such Debtor is an issuer of Pledged Equity, such Debtor agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Equity issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it and (ii) it will comply with instructions received by it pursuant to the terms of Section 4.05(f) with respect to the Pledged Equity issued by it. In addition, if any such Debtor is a partnership or a limited liability company, such Debtor (i) confirms that none of the terms of any equity interest issued by it provides that such equity interest is a “security” within the meaning of the UCC, (ii) agrees that it will take no action to cause or permit any such equity interest to become a security, (iii) agrees that it will not issue any certificate representing any such equity interest and (iv) agrees that if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such equity interest shall be or become a security, such Debtor will (and the Debtor that holds such equity interest hereby instructs such issuing Debtor to) comply with reasonable instructions originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent by such Debtor.

 

16


(f) Each Debtor hereby authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Equity pledged by such Debtor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that a Priority Lien Debt Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Debtor, and each Debtor agrees that each such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Equity directly to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations.

Section 4.06 Collateral Accounts. The Debtors shall request in writing and otherwise take all necessary steps to ensure that all payments constituting Proceeds of the sale of Collateral are made directly to a Collateral Account. If any Debtor receives cash or Cash Equivalents that are identifiable proceeds of any Collateral, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), it shall hold same in trust for the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit same into a Collateral Account.

Section 4.07 Intellectual Property. With respect to Intellectual Property:

(a) Such Debtor (either itself or through licensees) will (i) continue to use each Trademark necessary to the conduct of its business in order to maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, (ii) use such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and substantially all other notices and legends required by applicable Laws, (iii) not knowingly adopt or use any mark which is confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall obtain a perfected security interest in such mark pursuant to this Agreement, and (iv) not (and not knowingly permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark necessary to the conduct of its business may become invalidated or impaired in any way;

(b) Such Debtor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent necessary for the conduct of its business may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public;

(c) Such Debtor (either itself or through licensees) (i) will employ each Copyright necessary for the conduct of its business and (ii) will not (and will not knowingly permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyrights may become invalidated or otherwise impaired. Such Debtor will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyrights may fall into the public domain;

 

17


(d) Such Debtor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act that knowingly uses any Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business to materially infringe the intellectual property rights of any other Person;

(e) Such Debtor will notify the Collateral Agent and each Priority Lien Representative in writing immediately if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration relating to any Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office) regarding such Debtor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any such Intellectual Property or such Debtor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same;

(f) Whenever such Debtor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file or acquire a registration of any Intellectual Property or an application for the registration therefor with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar Governmental Authority of the United States, any State thereof or any other country, such Debtor shall report such filing or acquisition to the Collateral Agent within 30 days after the date on which such filing or acquisition occurs, and any such Intellectual Property shall automatically constitute Collateral and shall be subject to the security interest created by this Agreement. Upon request of the Collateral Agent, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), such Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark necessary for the conduct of its business and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Debtor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(g) Such Debtor will take commercially reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, to maintain and pursue each application relating to any Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of such Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability; and

(h) In the event that any Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Debtor shall (i) take such actions as such Debtor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing after it learns thereof and take such actions as such Debtor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances, including filing suit for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for infringement, misappropriation or dilution.

Section 4.08 Equipment. (a) Each Debtor shall keep accurate and complete records of its Equipment, including kind, quality, quantity, cost, acquisitions and dispositions thereof, and shall submit to the Collateral Agent, on such periodic basis as the Collateral Agent may request, a current schedule thereof, in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Promptly upon request, the Debtors shall deliver to the Collateral Agent evidence of their ownership or interests in any Equipment.

(b) No Debtor shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equipment without prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, other than as permitted under the Indenture.

(c) The Equipment of each Debtor is in good operating condition and repair, and all necessary replacements and repairs have been made so that the value and operating efficiency of the Equipment is preserved at all times, in each case except for (i) reasonable wear and tear and (ii) Equipment that is being repaired or replaced in the ordinary course of business. Each Debtor shall ensure that the Equipment is mechanically and structurally sound, and capable of performing the functions for which it was designed, in accordance with manufacturer specifications, except where the failure to ensure the foregoing is not adverse in any material respect to the holders of the Secured Obligations. No Debtor shall permit any Equipment to become affixed to, or located at, real property leased by such Debtor if the aggregate amount of payments due by such Debtor during any fiscal year pursuant to the term of such lease exceeds $100,000, unless the Debtor shall have delivered prior written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the landlord of such real property to deliver to the Collateral Agent a lien waiver to the Collateral Agent. With respect to any real property leased by any Debtor upon which any Equipment is affixed or located as of the date hereof, if the terms of the lease for such real property provide for aggregate payments by such Debtor during any fiscal year in excess of $100,000, such Debtor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the landlord of such real property to deliver to the Collateral Agent a lien waiver in a form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent (which will not require the expenditure of any consent fee, other than reimbursement of costs, to the landlord). If a Debtor is unable to comply with the foregoing requirements of the third and fourth sentences of this Section 4.08(c) after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the Debtor shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Collateral Agent certifying that it is unable to comply with such requirements after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so with a brief description of such efforts. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on such Certificate.

(d) Subject to Section 11.3(c) of the Indenture and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), with respect to any item of Titled Equipment now or hereafter owned by a Debtor and with respect to which perfection must be effected by a means other than the filing of an appropriate financing statement under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, such Debtor agrees to take such action (or cause its Subsidiaries to take such action), including endorsing certificates of title or executing applications for transfer of title, as is reasonably required by the Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to properly perfect and protect its Lien on such Titled Equipment and to transfer the same.

 

19


Section 4.09 Actions With Respect to Certain Collateral. (a) If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim with a value in excess of $500,000, such Debtor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in a writing signed by such Debtor of the brief details thereof and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(b) If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any vessel, aircraft, aircraft engines, or aircraft propellers, such Debtor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in a writing signed by such Debtor, and shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), to ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, a security interest therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Priority Lien Debt Default exists, then upon the request of any Debtor the Collateral Agent shall deliver any Instrument in its possession to that Debtor if that Debtor requires possession in order to collect such Instrument. In the event that the aggregate face amount of such Instruments exceeds $500,000 individually or in the aggregate, the Debtors shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent.

Section 6.02 Instruments and Payment Intangibles. Without limiting any other rights of the Collateral Agent under the Priority Lien Debt Documents, during the existence of a Priority Lien Debt Default, the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Priority Lien Debtholders by an Act of Required Priority Lien Debtholders (or as otherwise set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement), shall, establish Collateral Accounts for the purpose of collecting the payments due to the Debtors with respect to Instruments and/or Payment Intangibles that constitute Collateral and holding the proceeds thereof, and may, or may direct the Debtors to, instruct all makers and/or all obligors with respect thereto to make all payments with respect to such Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, for deposit into such Collateral Account. After such direction to the Debtors, all payments, whether of principal, interest, or other amounts with respect to Instruments and/or Payment Intangibles that constitute Collateral shall be directed to such Collateral Accounts until such direction is revoked in writing by the Collateral Agent. All such payments which may from time to time come into the possession of any Debtor shall be held in trust for the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, segregated from the other funds of such Debtor, and delivered to the Collateral Agent immediately in the form received with any necessary endorsement for deposit into such Collateral Account, such delivery in no event to be later than one Business Day after receipt thereof by the applicable Debtor. Each Debtor agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to create any Collateral Account and pledge it to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations. In connection with the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time during the existence of a Priority Lien Debt Default to take any of the following actions, in the Collateral Agent’s own name or in the name of the applicable Debtor: compromise or extend the time for payment of any payments due with respect to any Instrument upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine; endorse the name of the applicable Debtor, on checks, instruments, or other evidences of payment with respect to any such Collateral; make written or verbal requests for verification of amount owing on any such Collateral from the maker thereof or obligor thereunder; open mail addressed to such Debtor which the Collateral Agent reasonably believes relates to any such Collateral, and, to the extent of checks or other payments with respect to any such Collateral, dispose of same in accordance with this Agreement; take action in the Collateral Agent’s name or the applicable Debtor’s name, to enforce collection; and take all other action necessary to carry out this Agreement and give effect to the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder.

sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Debtor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 6.03 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Laws; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Debtor agrees to use its best efforts to obtain all Affiliate consents and approvals and cause to be done all such other acts by any Affiliate as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 6.03 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Laws. Each Debtor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.03 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations, that the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.03 shall be specifically enforceable against such Debtor, and such Debtor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Priority Lien Debt Default has occurred.

Section 6.04 Foreclosure. (a) The Collateral Agent may foreclose on the Collateral in any manner permitted by the courts of or in the State of New York or the jurisdiction in which any Collateral is located. If the Collateral Agent should institute a suit for the collection of the Secured Obligations and for the foreclosure of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may at any time before the entry of a final judgment dismiss the same, and take any other action permitted by this Agreement.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Collateral Agent may exercise all the foreclosure rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. In connection therewith, the Collateral Agent may sell any Collateral at public or private sale, at the office of the Collateral Agent or elsewhere, for cash or credit and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent deems commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent may sell any Collateral at one or more sales, and the security interest granted hereunder shall remain in effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral. Each Debtor agrees that to the extent permitted by law such sales may be made without notice. If notice is required by law, each Debtor hereby deems ten days advance notice of the time and place of any public or private sale reasonable notification, recognizing that if any portion of the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, shorter notice may be reasonable. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may

 

23


adjourn any sale by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was adjourned. In the event that any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to cause subsequent sales to be made hereunder. Any statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale, assignment, or other document representing any sale hereunder, including statements relating to the occurrence of a Priority Lien Debt Default, acceleration of the Secured Obligations, notice of the sale, the time, place, and terms of the sale, and other actions taken by the Collateral Agent in relation to the sale may be conclusively relied upon by the purchaser at any sale hereunder. The Collateral Agent may delegate to any agent the performance of any acts in connection with any sale hereunder, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale.

Section 6.05 Application of Proceeds. (a) Unless otherwise specified herein, any cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent from the sale of, collection of, or other realization upon any part of the Collateral or any other amounts received by the Collateral Agent hereunder may be, at the discretion of the Collateral Agent (i) held by the Collateral Agent in one or more Collateral Accounts as cash collateral for the Secured Obligations or (ii) subject to the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement and, if applicable, the Intercreditor Agreement, applied to the Secured Obligations.

(b) Amounts applied to the Secured Obligations shall be applied in the following order:

First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of exercising the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder, whether expressly provided for herein or otherwise; and

Second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 3.4 of the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Priority Lien Debt Documents.

Any surplus cash collateral or cash proceeds held by the Collateral Agent after payment in full of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to such Debtor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

Section 6.06 Waiver of Certain Rights. To the full extent each Debtor may do so, such Debtor shall not insist upon, plead, claim, or take advantage of any law providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption, and such Debtor hereby waives and releases the same, and all rights to a marshaling of the assets of such Debtor, including the Collateral of such Debtor, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created. Such Debtor shall not assert any right under any law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce, or affect the right of the Collateral Agent under the terms of this Agreement.

 

24


Section 6.07 Remedies Cumulative. The Collateral Agent’s remedies under this Agreement and the Priority Lien Debt Documents to which any Debtor is a party shall be cumulative, and no delay in enforcing this Agreement and the Priority Lien Debt Documents to which any Debtor is a party shall act as a waiver of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder.

Section 6.08 Reinstatement. The obligations of each Debtor under this Agreement shall continue to be effective or automatically be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Debtor or any other obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

ARTICLE 7

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.01 Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Collateral Agency Agreement.

Section 7.02 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be in writing and effected in the manner provided for in Section 7.5 of the Collateral Agency Agreement. All notices, requests and demands hereunder to any Debtor shall be in writing delivered by United States mail, telecopy number, personal delivery or nationally established overnight courier service set forth in Schedule 3.3(b) attached hereto or at such other address in the United States as may be specified by such Debtor in a written notice delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.5 of the Collateral Agency Agreement.

Section 7.03 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies; No Duty. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, 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 Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Priority Lien Debt Document are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent under this Agreement are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except as elsewhere provided hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any of the Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral.

Section 7.04 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Debtor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Collateral Agent for, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, exercise, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Priority Lien Debt Document to which such Debtor is a party (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Secured Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), including all attorney fees.

 

25


(b) Each Debtor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay, and to indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and each holder of the Secured Obligations 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 Debtor agrees to pay, and to indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent, each holder of the Secured Obligations, and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Guaranty, this Agreement, or any Priority Lien Debt Document to which such Debtor is a party, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(d) All amounts due under this Section 7.04 shall be payable upon demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Indenture and the other Priority Lien Debt Documents and the resignation and removal of the Collateral Agent.

Section 7.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Debtor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations and their successors and assigns; provided that no Debtor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

Section 7.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic communication (including via email PDF) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 7.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties

 

26


shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.08 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 7.09 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Priority Lien Debt Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.

Section 7.10 GOVERNING LAW ETC. Sections 7.12 (Governing Law), 7.13 (Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers), and 7.14 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of the Collateral Agency Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein mutatis mutandis, as if set forth verbatim herein as agreements of the parties hereto.

Section 7.11 Additional Debtors. Each Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is required to become a party to this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to Section 7.17 of the Collateral Agency Agreement shall become a Debtor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Restricted Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex I hereto.

Section 7.12 Termination; Releases. (a) This Agreement and the security interest created hereby shall terminate upon payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), at which time the Collateral Agent shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, execute and deliver to the Debtors or the Debtors’ designee, at the Debtors’ expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents which the Debtors shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination, shall deliver to the Debtors or the Debtors’ designee all Collateral then in its possession, and shall authorize the Issuer to remove the Collateral Agent as an additional insured or loss payee under the Debtor’s insurance policies. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 7.12(a) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

(b) Any Debtor other than the Issuer shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral of such Debtor shall be automatically released as set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Indenture and the other Priority Lien Debt Documents. If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Debtor in a transaction permitted by the Permitted Lien Debt Documents the security interest created hereby in any Collateral that is so sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of shall automatically terminate and be released upon the closing of such sale, transfer or other disposition, as set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement, Indenture and the other Priority Lien Debt Documents; provided, however, that such security interest will continue to attach to all Proceeds of such

 

27


sales or other dispositions. In connection with any of the foregoing, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), the Collateral Agent, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate stating that such termination is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Priority Lien Debt Documents and that the Debtor is not required by the Priority Lien Debt Documents to grant any lien upon such property, shall deliver to the Debtors any Collateral then in its possession and shall execute and deliver to the Debtors or the Debtors’ designee, at the Debtors’ expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents that the Debtors shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 7.12(b) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

(c) Each Debtor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent subject to such Debtor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Priority Lien Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Collateral Agent in good faith believed to be in accordance with) this Section 7.12.

Section 7.13 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder or the application of Proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of any Collateral, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

Section 7.14 Collateral Agent. The rights, privileges, immunities and protections of the Collateral Agent are contained in the Collateral Agency Agreement, which rights, privileges, immunities and protections are incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Collateral Agency Agreement.
