Section 5.1                                    Remedies.(a)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

 

(i)                                     the Collateral Agent shall have, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in addition to all other rights of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

 

(ii)                                  the Collateral Agent may, at any time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it on any Grantor’s premises, at no cost to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any other Secured Party or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Collateral Agent may desire, or any Grantor shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, at such Grantor’s cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent;

 

(iii)                               the Collateral Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit, or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion, and may, if the Collateral Agent deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale; provided that in connection with any such sale of

 

19


 

Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary information of the Grantors (consistent with the confidentiality obligations of the Holders of the Securities as required by the Indenture Documents).

 

(iv)                              the Collateral Agent may give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Account Control Agreement and take any action provided therein with respect to the applicable Collateral;

 

(v)                                 the Collateral Agent may, concurrently with or following written notice to the Grantors, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Investment Property Collateral, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Investment Property Collateral 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, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and otherwise act with respect to the Investment Property Collateral as though the Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof.

 

(b)                                 Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following manner, each Grantor agrees that any notice by the Collateral Agent of sale, disposition, or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Grantors if such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action to the Grantors’ address specified in or pursuant to Section 8.1.

 

(c)                                  If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Collateral Agent receives payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice to any Grantor.

 

(d)                                 In the event the Collateral Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by judicial process, each Grantor irrevocably waives:  (i) the posting of any bond, surety, or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (iii) any requirement that the Collateral Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment.

 

(e)                                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, each Grantor hereby waives all rights to a hearing prior to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the Collateral Agent’s rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to replevy, attach, or levy upon the Collateral.

 

(f)                                   Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person.

 

20


 

(g)                                  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the compliance by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, with any applicable state or federal law requirements may be required 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.

 

(h)                                 The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption each Grantor hereby expressly releases.

 

(i)                                     Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but no duty or obligation, to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or the value of the Collateral, or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, but shall have no obligation to, 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 Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

 

(j)                                    Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral consisting of securities to be sold by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or in applicable federal or state securities laws but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral or other property to be sold for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not, by virtue thereof, be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner.  Unless required by a Requirement of Law, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral or other property to be sold for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or under any applicable federal or state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.  Each Grantor further agrees to do or cause to be done, at its own cost and expense, to the extent that such Grantor may do so under Requirements of Law, all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sales or resales of any portion or all of the Collateral or other property to be sold valid and binding and in compliance with any and all Requirements of Law at the Grantors’ expense.

 

(k)                                 Any remedy or enforcement action to be taken hereunder by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral shall be at the written direction of the Trustee (acting pursuant to the direction of the Majority Holders pursuant to the Indenture).

 

21


 

(l)                                     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights and remedies provided in this Section 5.1 shall be subject to each Intercreditor Agreement (if any).

 

Section 5.2                                    Grant of Intellectual Property License.Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article V at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, subject to the terms of each Intercreditor Agreement (if any), each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive license or other right to use, without charge, each Grantor’s labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property, to the extent constituting Collateral in completing production of, advertising or selling any Collateral, and, subject to the rights of any licensor or franchisor under such agreements and to the extent not in violation of such agreements, each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Collateral Agent’s benefit for such purpose.

 

Section 5.3                                    Application of Proceeds.Subject to each Intercreditor Agreement (if any), the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

 

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Indenture Document) and the Trustee in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or reasonable costs, expenses, claims or liabilities of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee otherwise relating to or arising in connection with this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Indenture Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Indenture Document on behalf of any Grantor, any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Indenture Document, and any indemnification of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee required by the terms hereunder, under the Indenture or any other Indenture Document;

 

SECOND, to the Trustee for distribution in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement and each Intercreditor Agreement (if any).  Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (and for this purpose a notice to the Issuer shall be deemed to be a notice to each Grantor).  All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by facsimile or on the date five (5) Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 8.1 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 8.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, notices to the Collateral Agent shall only be effective upon actual receipt.

 

Section 8.2                                    Waiver of Notices.Unless otherwise expressly 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 Agreement or any Collateral.

 

Section 8.3                                    Limitation on Collateral Agent’s and Secured Party’s 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 Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.  Neither the Collateral Agent nor any 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 Secured Party, or any income thereon (other than to account for proceeds therefrom) 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, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it would be 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

 

31


 

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 the 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 assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.3 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s 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 8.3.  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.3 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 Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.3.

 

Section 8.4                                    Compromises and Collection of Collateral.Each Grantor and the Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Accounts, that certain of the Accounts may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Account may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to an Account.  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 (subject to the terms of each Intercreditor Agreement (if any)), compromise with the obligor on any Account, accept in full payment of any Account such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Account, 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.

 

Section 8.5                                    Specific Performance of Certain Covenants.Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.2(a), 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.10, 4.12, 5.1(j), 7.6, 8.11, 8.17 and 8.18, 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

 

32


 

performance of other obligations of any Grantor contained in this Agreement, that the covenants of such Grantor contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor.

 

Section 8.6                                    Cumulative Remedies; No Prior Recourse to Collateral.The enumeration herein of the Collateral Agent’s and the Trustee’s rights and remedies is not intended to be exclusive, and such rights and remedies are in addition to and not by way of limitation of any other rights or remedies that the Collateral Agent and the Trustee may have under the UCC, other applicable law or the Indenture Documents.  The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to determine which rights and remedies are to be exercised and in which order.  The exercise of one right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any others, all of which shall be cumulative.  The Collateral Agent and the Trustee may, without limitation, proceed directly against any Person liable therefor to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

 

Section 8.7                                    Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions.All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part.  The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

 

Section 8.8                                    Reinstatement.This 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 such Grantor’s assets.  This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time when there is or has been more than one Grantor payment and performance of the 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 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 such payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

Section 8.9                                    Binding Effect.The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, no Grantor shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee (other than pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Indenture), and any attempted assignment

 

33


 

without such consent shall be null and void.  The rights and benefits of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereunder shall, if such Persons so agree, inure to any party acquiring any interest in the Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with the terms hereof or of the Indenture.

 

Section 8.10                             Survival of Representations.All representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the Indenture Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Indenture Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Indenture Documents, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the provisions of Section 8.17 and 8.18 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Securities or the termination of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document.

 

Section 8.11                             Guaranties; Third Party Joinder.Promptly upon creation or acquisition of any Subsidiary of a Grantor, such Grantor shall, to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, cause such new Subsidiary to become a Grantor by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent such an instrument in the form of Exhibit H hereto and other instruments, certificates, and agreements as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.  Upon execution and delivery of such instruments, certificates, and agreements, such newly created or acquired Subsidiary shall automatically become a Grantor and thereupon shall have all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations of a Grantor under the Indenture Documents.

 

Section 8.12                             Captions.The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision.

 

Section 8.13                             Termination and Release.This Agreement and the security interests granted hereby shall terminate in accordance with the Indenture and each Intercreditor Agreement (if any).

 

Section 8.14                             Entire Agreement.This Agreement, together with the other Indenture Documents embodies the entire agreement and understanding between each Grantor and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between any Grantor and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.

 

Section 8.15                             Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.(a)  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT LOCAL LAW GOVERNS THE CREATION, PERFECTION, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY INTERESTS.

FORM OF SUPPLEMENT

WHEREAS pursuant to the terms of the Indenture dated as of [      ], 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Subsidiary Parties and the Trustee, the Issuer issued the Securities (as defined in the Indenture), which may be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of the Subsidiary Parties;

 

WHEREAS the Issuer, the Subsidiary Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Co-Collateral Agent (if applicable), the Trustee and the other parties party thereto may enter into one or more Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreements from time to time (as such agreements may be amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, each an “Intercreditor Agreement”), which will govern the liens upon and security interests in the Collateral granted by the Agreement;

 

WHEREAS each Grantor executed and delivered the Agreement, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture to induce the Trustee to enter into the Indenture and for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities; and

 

WHEREAS Section 8.11 of the Agreement and Section 4.10 of the Indenture provide that additional Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer (unless such Subsidiary is a Receivables Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture)) shall become Subsidiary Parties under the Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.  The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture Documents to become a Subsidiary Party under the Agreement.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture and the Agreement.

 

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.                            In accordance with Section 8.11 of the Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Party and a Grantor under the Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Party

 


 

and the New Subsidiary hereby expressly assumes, and hereby agrees to perform and observe, each and every one of the covenants, rights promises, agreements, terms, conditions, obligations, appointments, duties and liabilities applicable to it as a Subsidiary Party and Grantor thereunder and all other Indenture Documents applicable to it as a Subsidiary Party and Grantor under the Agreement. By virtue of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary hereby accepts and assumes any liability of a Grantor (as to itself only) related to each representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by a Grantor (as to itself only and after giving effect to this Supplement) in the Agreement and hereby expressly affirms, as of the date hereof, each of such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations (after giving effect to this Supplement).  In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and Lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral of the New Subsidiary.  Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary.  The Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

SECTION 2.                            The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that (a) the New Subsidiary has the requisite [corporate, partnership or company] power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Supplement and that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, (b) the representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement (after giving effect to this Supplement) are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as such representations and warranties apply to the New Subsidiary (except to the extent that any such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date) with the same force and effect as if made on the date hereof and (c) as of the date hereof, the New Subsidiary is “located” (as such term is used in Article 9-307 of the UCC) in [name of state or foreign country].

 

SECTION 3.                            This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or by email shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

The information contained in the Perfection Certificate delivered by the New Subsidiary is correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof.  The information set forth in Schedule I is hereby added to the information set forth in the corresponding exhibits to the Agreement.

 


 

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

 

SECTION 6.                         THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT LOCAL LAW GOVERNS THE CREATION, PERFECTION, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY INTERESTS.

 

SECTION 7.                            In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

SECTION 8.                            All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.1 of the Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.                            The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement as required by Section 7.6(e) of the Agreement.

 

SECTION 10.                     Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Agreement, the Liens created thereby and the rights, remedies, duties and obligations provided for therein and herein are subject in all respects to the provisions of each Intercreditor Agreement (if any).  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Agreement, this Supplement and any Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

 

SECTION 11.                     It is expressly understood and agreed that U.S. Bank National Association is entering into this Supplement solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent as appointed pursuant to the Indenture, and shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, immunities and protections under the Indenture as if such rights, privileges, immunities and protections were set forth herein.
