Additional Guarantors and Grantors Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in the Security Documents, Holdings will cause each direct or indirect Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) formed or otherwise purchased or acquired after the Closing Date (including pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition), and each other Subsidiary that ceases to constitute an Excluded Subsidiary, within 60 days from the date of such formation, acquisition or cessation, as applicable (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), and Holdings may at its option cause any Subsidiary, to execute a supplement to each of the Guarantee, the Pledge Agreement and the Security Agreement in order to become a Guarantor under the Guarantee and a grantor under such Security Documents or, to the extent reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, enter into a new Security Document substantially consistent with the analogous existing Security Documents and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and take all other action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to grant a perfected security interest in its assets to substantially the same extent as created and perfected by the Credit Parties on the Closing Date and pursuant to Section 9.14(d) in the case of such Credit Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, no Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary shall be required to take any action outside the United States to perfect any security interest in the Collateral (including the execution of any agreement, document or other instrument governed by the law of any jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia).
Additional Grantors Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.
Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc (a) Subject to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
(b) Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules I through IV attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I through IV, respectively, hereto, and the Administrative Agent may attach such supplemental schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Security Agreement Supplement.
Additional Collateral; Additional Guarantors (a) Subject to this Section 6.11 and Section 6.13(b), with respect to any property acquired after the Closing Date by any Loan Party that is intended to be subject to the Lien created by any of the Collateral Documents but is not so subject, promptly (and in any event within 60 days after the acquisition thereof) (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent such amendments or supplements to the relevant Collateral Documents or such other documents as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a Lien on such property subject to no Liens other than Liens permitted hereunder, and (ii) take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to cause such Lien to be duly perfected to the extent required by such Collateral Document in accordance with all applicable Law, including the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall otherwise take such commercially reasonable actions and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall reasonably require to confirm the validity, perfection and priority of the Lien of the Collateral Documents on such after-acquired properties.
(b) With respect to any Person that is or becomes a direct Subsidiary of a Loan Party after the Closing Date, promptly (and in any event within 60 days after such Person becomes a Subsidiary) (i) deliver to the Collateral Agent the certificates, if any, representing all of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary owned by such Loan Party, together with undated stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the holder(s) of such Equity Interests, and all intercompany notes owing from such Subsidiary to any Loan Party together with instruments of transfer executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of such Loan Party (in each case, with respect to Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent applicable and permitted under foreign laws, rules or regulations) or, if necessary to perfect a Lien under applicable Law, by means of an applicable Collateral Document, create a Lien on such Equity Interests and intercompany notes in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and (ii) cause any such new Subsidiary (A) to execute a joinder agreement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such comparable documentation to become a Subsidiary Guarantor and a joinder agreement to the applicable Collateral Documents (including the Security Agreement), substantially in the form annexed thereto, or, in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary, execute a security agreement compatible with the Laws of such Foreign Subsidiary’s jurisdiction in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (B) to take all actions necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to cause the Lien created by the applicable Collateral Documents (including the Security Agreement) to be duly perfected to the extent required by such agreement in accordance with all applicable Law, including the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the Equity Interests required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, or on which a Lien is required to be created, pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 6.11(b) shall not include any Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary that is an Excluded Subsidiary by reason of clauses (b), (d), (f) or (g) of the definition of Excluded Subsidiary and (2) no Excluded Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be required to take the actions specified in clause (ii) of this Section 6.11(b); provided that the exception set forth in clause (1) with respect to Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary that is an Excluded Subsidiary by reason of clause (g) of the definition of Excluded Subsidiary of this sentence shall not apply to (A) voting stock of any Subsidiary that is a first-tier controlled foreign corporation (as defined in Section 957(a) of the Code) representing 65% of the total voting power of all outstanding voting stock of such Subsidiary and (B) 100% of the Equity Interests not constituting voting stock of any such Subsidiary, except that any such Equity Interests constituting “stock entitled to vote” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.956-2(c)(2) shall be treated as voting stock for purposes of this Section 6.11(b).
(c) Promptly grant to the Collateral Agent, within 60 days of the acquisition thereof, a security interest in and mortgage in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (a “Mortgage”) on each parcel of Real Property owned in fee by such Loan Party as is acquired by such Loan Party after the Closing Date and that, together with any improvements thereon, individually has a fair market value of at least $15 million as additional security for the Obligations (unless the subject property is already mortgaged to a third party to the extent permitted hereunder). Such Mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable perfected Liens subject only to Liens permitted hereunder. The Mortgages or instruments related thereto shall be duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by Law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Mortgages and all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall be paid in full. Such Loan Party shall otherwise take such commercially reasonable actions and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall reasonably require to confirm the validity, perfection and priority of the Lien of any existing Mortgage or new Mortgage against such after-acquired Real Property (including a Title Policy, a Survey and local counsel opinion (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) in respect of such Mortgage).
(d) The foregoing shall not require the creation or perfection of pledges of or security interests in, or the obtaining of title insurance or surveys with respect to, particular assets if and for so long as (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, the cost of creating or perfecting such pledges or security interests in such assets or obtaining title insurance or surveys in respect of such assets shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom or (ii) the creation or perfection of such pledges or security interests would violate third party contracts or applicable Law (including any Law requiring the approval or consultation of any “works council” or similar entity before a security interest can be granted, in which case the Borrowers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval, unless the Administrative Agent shall determine in its reasonable judgment that such pledge or security interest shall not be required with respect to such assets). In addition, the foregoing will not require actions under this Section 6.11 by a Person if and to the extent that such action would (a) go beyond the corporate or other powers of the Person concerned (and then only as such corporate or other power cannot be modified or excluded to allow such action) or (b) unavoidably result in material issues of director’s personal liability, breach of fiduciary duty or criminal liability. The Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time for the perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Loan Parties on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrowers, that perfection cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the Collateral Documents.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.11 or anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, Liens required to be granted from time to time pursuant to Section 6.11 shall be subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the Collateral Documents as in effect on the Amendment Effective Date and, to the extent appropriate in the applicable jurisdiction, as agreed between the Collateral Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.11 or anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Subsidiary of the Company that Guarantees the Senior Subordinated Debt or the Senior Unsecured Debt shall be a Guarantor hereunder for so long as it Guarantees such Indebtedness.
Additional Guarantors (a) If, as of the date of the most recently available financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as the case may be, any Subsidiary shall have become a Material Domestic Subsidiary (or shall be otherwise designated as a Material Domestic Subsidiary by the Borrower hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement) or any Person shall have become a Material Foreign Subsidiary (or shall be otherwise designated as a Material Foreign Subsidiary by the Borrower hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement), then the Borrower shall:
(i) In the case of any such Subsidiary that becomes (or is so designated as) a Material Domestic Subsidiary, within 30 days (or such longer period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) after delivery of such financial statements, (1) cause such Material Domestic Subsidiary to enter into a Guaranty, or, if a Guaranty has previously been entered into by a Material Domestic Subsidiary (and remains in effect), a joinder agreement to such Guaranty in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (2) deliver to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and (3) (x) deliver to the Administrative Agent any certificates representing the Collateral consisting of Equity Interests issued by such Material Domestic Subsidiary (to the extent such Equity Interests are certificated) and Equity Interests owned by such Material Domestic Subsidiary (to the extent such Equity Interests are certificated and other than Excluded Collateral), (y) deliver to the Administrative Agent such joinder agreements, amendments and supplements to the relevant Security Documents or such other documents as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a Lien on the Collateral owned by such Material Domestic Subsidiary (other than Excluded Collateral) and (z) take all actions necessary to cause such Lien to be duly perfected to the extent required by the Security Documents in accordance with all applicable laws.
(ii) In the case of any Person that becomes (or is so designated as) a Material Foreign Subsidiary, within 90 days (or such longer period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) after delivery of such financial statements, (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent such amendments and supplements to the relevant Security Documents or such additional Security Documents (including a Non-U.S. Pledge Agreement) as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a Lien on the Collateral consisting of the Equity Interests issued by such Material Foreign Subsidiary (other than Excluded Collateral) and (ii) take all actions necessary to cause such Lien to be duly perfected to the extent required by the Security Documents in accordance with all applicable laws. For the avoidance of doubt, no Domestic Subsidiary shall be required to become a Guarantor merely due to its ownership of Equity Interests in any Domestic Subsidiary that owns real property.
(b) If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall receive an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (or local counsel to the Administrative Agent to the extent customary in an Applicable Foreign Jurisdiction) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in respect of matters reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent relating to any Guaranty or joinder agreement or the amendments and supplements to the Security Documents or additional Security Documents delivered pursuant to this Section, dated as of the date of such Guaranty or joinder agreement, amendments and supplements or additional Security Documents.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be required, nor shall the Administrative Agent be authorized, (A) to take any additional steps to perfect the above described pledges and security interests by any means other than by (1) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the office of the secretary of state (or similar central filing office) of the relevant State(s) and filings with the USPTO and the USCO and (2) delivery to the Administrative Agent to be held in its possession of all Collateral consisting of stock certificates evidencing Equity Interests issued by the Guarantors (other than Holdings) and Material Foreign Subsidiaries, in each case as expressly required herein or by the Loan Documents, (B) to take any action with respect to any assets located outside of the United States other than, with respect to the pledge of the Equity Interests of any Material Foreign Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of organization of such Material Foreign Subsidiary (such jurisdiction, the “Applicable Foreign Jurisdiction”) (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements, pledge agreements or other Security Documents that will be governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction other than, with respect to the pledge of the Equity Interests of any Material Foreign Subsidiary, the Applicable Foreign Jurisdiction), (C) to make or authorize any filings with respect to intellectual property other than filings with the USPTO and the USCO, (D) to enter into any control agreement with respect to any Collateral or (E) to require the amendment of any limited liability company agreements or other organizational documents for any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the certification of uncertificated securities or the delivery of any director resignation letters in respect of any Foreign Subsidiaries.
