If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent so requires by notice in writing to the relevant Grantor (it being understood that the exercise of remedies by the Secured Parties in connection with an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (h) of the Term Loan Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a request by the Collateral Agent for the purposes of this sentence and in such circumstances, no such written notice shall be required), all Proceeds of Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.2 hereof.
5.2. Application of Proceeds.
(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as provided in Section 7.3 of the Term Loan Agreement.
(b) Upon any sale of the 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.
5.3. Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the NY UCC or any other Applicable Law or in equity and also may without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for
-12-
investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party may subject to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.2(a) hereof, pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Secured Obligations. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. 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 adjourn any public or private sale from time to time 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 so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby waives any claim against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.3 in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the NY UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
5.4. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
5.5. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Secured Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Grantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Grantor and without notice to or further assent by any Grantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, (b) the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Document, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any
-13-
obligation to protect, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for this Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any other Grantor, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any other Grantor or any release of the Borrower or any other Grantor shall not relieve any Grantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Grantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purpose hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
5.6. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, to exercise rights and remedies hereunder at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located. This license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof. With respect to Trademarks licensed pursuant to this Section 5.6, the Collateral Agent shall use such Trademarks in accordance with Grantor’s reasonable trademark maintenance and use standards and quality control requirements, (but no less than those that are sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks), substantially consistent with Grantor’s past practices, and Collateral Agent shall cause any licensees and/or sublicensees to enter into written agreements whereby they agree to comply with all such standards and quality control requirements, such agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
6. The Collateral Agent.
6.1. Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Each Grantor hereby appoints (until the Termination Date), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right (until the Termination Date), on behalf of such Grantor, either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, without assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following at the same time or at different times, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and after written notice by the Collateral Agent of its intent to do so:
(i) take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such monies due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
-14-
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against any Collateral;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.3, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;
(v) obtain, pay and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement;
(vi) send verifications of Accounts to any Person who is or who may become obligated to any Grantor under, with respect to or on account of an Account;
(vii) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct;
(viii) ask or demand for, collect and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;
(ix) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral;
(x) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;
(xi) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral (with such Grantor’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral; provided that such consent right shall not limit any other rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent at law);
(xii) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate (with such Grantor’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral; provided that such consent right shall not limit any other rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent at law);
-15-
(xiii) assign, transfer or license any Intellectual Property Collateral throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its reasonable business discretion determine; and
(xiv) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 6.l(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do and solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder for the benefit of the Secured Parties at such times, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Termination Date.
6.2. Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the NY UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and it shall not be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) or material breach of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
6.3. Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by this Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively
-16-
presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
6.4. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interests created hereby and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.
6.5. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Loan Documents; Release.
(a) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Grantor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until the Termination Date.
(b) A Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interests of such Grantor created hereby shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Term Loan Agreement or, if not permitted by the Term Loan Agreement, upon the effectiveness of any consent by the Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable, as a result of which such Grantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary.
(c) (i) Upon any sale, disposition or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Term Loan Agreement (other than to another Grantor), (ii) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interests created hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Term Loan Agreement, or (iii) as required by the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Interests in such Collateral created hereby shall be automatically released and such Collateral sold free and clear of the Lien and Security Interests created hereby.
(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Grantor or authorize the filing of, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release; provided that, with respect to the release of any Collateral pursuant to clauses (b), (c)(i) and (c)(iii) above, the Collateral Agent shall have received such certifications and documentation as it shall reasonably request. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
6.6. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other
-17-
Grantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Grantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
6.7. Enforcement. No Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) shall have any individual right to pursue any remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Grantor.
7. Miscellaneous.
7.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Term Loan Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit 1, respectively, in each case duly executed by each Grantor directly affected thereby.
7.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.3 of the Term Loan Agreement; provided, however, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Borrower’s notice address set forth in such Section 11.3.
7.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof or of any other applicable Loan Document. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party 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 or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any other occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
7.4. Expenses.
(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay any and all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Term Loan Agreement.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The agreements in this Section 7.4 shall survive the Termination Date and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
7.5. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Term Loan Agreement.
-18-
7.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e. a “pdf” or “tif”), which delivery shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Collateral Agent and the Borrower.
7.7. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 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.
7.8. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
7.9. Integration. This Agreement represents the agreement of each of the Grantors with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
7.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
7.11. Submission To Jurisdiction Waivers. Each party hereto irrevocably and un-conditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address referred to in Section 7.2 or at such other address of which any other party shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and
(d) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 7.11 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
-19-
7.12. Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;
(b) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties; and
(d) upon any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed against any Grantor and any Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and Applicable Law to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor in any proceeding.
7.13. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Term Loan Agreement and the terms hereof shall become a Grantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein, for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
7.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.
7.15. Intercreditor Agreement Governs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement, the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, in each case, with respect to the Revolving Priority Collateral and Revolving Liens are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Priority Collateral and Revolving Liens, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall prevail. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Loan Documents, but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement in all respects, until the Discharge of Revolving Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement): (i) any covenant hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement requiring (or any representation or warranty hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement to the extent it would have the effect of requiring) the delivery and/or arrangement for possession of Collateral that constitutes Revolving Priority Collateral or delivery and/or arrangement for control of any certificated securities that constitute Revolving Priority Collateral to or with the Revolving Agent shall be deemed satisfied or complied with (or in the case of any representation or warranty, shall be deemed to be true and correct) if such delivery and/or arrangement for possession of Collateral that constitutes Revolving Priority Collateral is made to, or such control of certificated
-20-
securities is with the Revolving Agent pursuant to the Revolving Loan Documents; (ii) any covenant hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement requiring (or any representation or warranty hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement to the extent it would have the effect of requiring ) the payment or other transfer of Collateral that constitutes Revolving Priority Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been satisfied (or, in the case of any representation or warranty, shall be deemed to be true and correct) if such payment or transfer shall have been made to the Revolving Agent; (iii) any covenant hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement requiring (or any representation or warranty hereunder or under the Term Loan Agreement to the extent it would have the effect of requiring) the endorsement of any Collateral that constitutes Revolving Priority Collateral or related document to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been satisfied (or, in the case of any representation or warranty, shall be deemed to be true and correct) if such endorsement shall have been made to the Revolving Collateral Agent; and (iv) any covenant requiring that a Grantor receive and/or hold any Collateral that constitutes Revolving Priority Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that such Grantor receives or holds (as applicable) such Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Revolving Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent.

A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein (including terms used in the preamble and the recitals) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.
B. The rules of construction and other interpretive provisions specified in the Term Loan Agreement shall apply to this Supplement, including terms defined in the preamble and recitals hereto.
C. Section 7.13 of the Security Agreement provides that each Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to the Security Agreement pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Term Loan Agreement and the terms hereof shall become a Grantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor therein, for all purposes of the Security Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. Each undersigned Subsidiary (each, a “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Security Agreement to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement as consideration for the Secured Obligations.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantors agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.13 of the Security Agreement, each New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and each New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date). In furtherance of the foregoing, each New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby assign, pledge, mortgage and hypothecate to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the Collateral of such New Grantor, in each case whether now or hereafter existing or in which now has or hereafter acquires an interest (but, in any event, excluding any Excluded Assets). Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include each New Grantor. The Security Agreement (including Sections 2 and 7.15 thereof) is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. Each New Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties 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 bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).
Ex. 1-1
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Supplement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e. a “pdf” or “tif”)), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Supplement shall become effective as to each New Grantor when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of such New Grantor and the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 4. Such New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule A attached hereto is (i) the legal name of such New Grantor, (ii) the jurisdiction of organization or formation of such New Grantor, (iii) the identity or corporate structure of such New Grantor and (iv) the Federal Taxpayer Identification Number and organizational number of such New Grantor and (b) as of the date hereof (i) Schedule B hereto sets forth all of the Registered Intellectual Property owned by a such New Grantor in its name, and indicates for each such item, as applicable, the application and/or registration number, date and jurisdiction of filing and/or issuance, and the identity of the current applicant or registered owner, (ii) Schedule C hereto sets forth all Exclusive IP Agreements, (iii) Schedule D hereto sets forth all Commercial Tort Claims held by such new Grantor and (iv) Schedule E hereto sets forth all Deposit Accounts of such New Grantor indicating if any such Deposit Accounts is an Excluded Deposit Account.

SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. Any provision of this Supplement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and in the Security Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable 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 notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 11.3 of the Term Loan Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each New Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address set forth in Section 11.3 of the Term Loan Agreement.
SECTION 9. Each New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with this Supplement in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Term Loan Agreement.
