in all cases, the Agent will credit the Grantors' Loan Account with the net
amounts received by the Agent in payment of any Accounts.
(e) If an Account Debtor returns any Inventory to a
Grantor when no Event of Default exists, then such Grantor shall promptly
determine the reason for such return and shall issue a credit memorandum to
the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount. Each Grantor shall report to
the Agent any return involving an amount in excess of $500,000 by no later
than the earlier of the 10th Business Day following such return or the
delivery of the next Borrowing Base Certificate following such return. Each
such report shall indicate the reasons for the returns and the locations and
condition of the returned Inventory. In the event any Account Debtor returns
Inventory to a Grantor when an Event of Default exists, such Grantor, upon
the request of the Agent, shall: (i) hold the returned Inventory in trust
for the Agent; (ii) segregate all of its returned Inventory from all of its
other property; (iii) dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to
the Agent's written instructions; and (iv) not issue any credits or
allowances with respect thereto without the Agent's prior written consent.
All returned Inventory of any Grantor shall be subject to the Agent's Liens
thereon. Whenever any Inventory is returned, the related Account shall be
deemed ineligible to the extent of the amount owing by the Account Debtor
with respect to such returned Inventory and such returned Inventory shall
not be Eligible Inventory.
11. COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS; PAYMENTS.
--------------------------------
(a) Until the Agent notifies the Grantors to the
contrary, each Grantor shall make collection of all of its Accounts and
other Collateral for the Agent, shall receive all payments as the Agent's
trustee, and shall immediately deliver all payments in their original form
duly endorsed in blank into a Payment Account established for the account of
such Grantor at a Clearing Bank reasonably acceptable to the Agent, subject
to a Blocked Account Agreement. On or prior to the date hereof, each Grantor
shall establish a lock-box service for collections of Accounts at a Clearing
Bank reasonably acceptable to the Agent and subject to a Blocked Account
Agreement and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Each
Grantor shall instruct all of its Account Debtors to make all payments
directly to the address established for such service. If, notwithstanding
such instructions, a Grantor receives any proceeds of Accounts, it shall
receive such payments as the Agent's trustee, and shall immediately deliver
such payments to the Agent in their original form duly endorsed in blank or
deposit them into a Payment Account, as the Agent may direct. All
collections received in any lock-box or Payment Account or directly by a
Grantor or the Agent, and all funds in any Payment Account or other account
to which such collections are deposited shall be subject to the Agent's sole
control and withdrawals by the Grantors shall not be permitted. The Agent or
the Agent's designee may, at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, notify Account Debtors that the
Grantors' Accounts have been assigned to the Agent and of the Agent's
security interest therein, and may collect them directly and charge the
collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account as a Revolving Loan. So
long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
11
continuing, each Grantor, at the Agent's request, shall execute and deliver
to the Agent such documents as the Agent shall require to grant the Agent
access to any post office box in which collections of Accounts are received.
(b) If sales of any Grantor's Inventory are made or
services are rendered for cash, such Grantor shall immediately deliver to
the Agent or deposit into a Payment Account the cash which such Grantor
receives.
(c) All payments including immediately available funds
received by the Agent at a bank account designated by it, will be the
Agent's sole property for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and
will be credited to the Loan Account (conditional upon final collection)
after allowing one (1) Business Day for collection; provided, however, that
-------- -------
such payments shall be deemed to be credited to the Loan Account immediately
upon receipt for purposes of (i) determining Availability, (ii) calculating
the Unused Line Fee pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement, and
-----------
(iii) calculating the amount of interest accrued thereon solely for purposes
of determining the amount of interest to be distributed by the Agent to the
Lenders (but not the amount of interest payable by the Grantors).
12. INVENTORY; PERPETUAL INVENTORY.
------------------------------
(a) Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent
and the Lenders and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders that all of the
Inventory owned by such Grantor is and will be held for sale or lease, or to
be furnished in connection with the rendition of services, in the ordinary
course of such Grantor's business, and is and will be fit for such purposes.
Each Grantor will keep its Inventory in good and marketable condition,
except for damaged or defective goods arising in the ordinary course of such
Grantor's business. No Grantor will, without the prior written consent of
the Agent, acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval;
provided, however, Grantors may acquire or accept any Inventory on
-------- -------
consignment or approval if such Inventory is not reported as Inventory of
Grantor, is clearly identified as Inventory held on consignment or approval
and is segregated from other Inventory of Grantor. Each Grantor agrees that
all Inventory produced by such Grantor in the United States of America will
be produced in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938,
as amended, and all rules, regulations, and orders thereunder. Each Grantor
will conduct a physical count of its Inventory at least once per Fiscal
Year, and after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at such
other times as the Agent requests. Except as otherwise disclosed to the
Agent, each Grantor will maintain a perpetual inventory reporting system at
all times. No Grantor will, without the Agent's written consent, sell any
Inventory on a ▇▇▇▇-and-hold, guaranteed sale, sale and return, sale on
approval, consignment, or other repurchase or return basis; provided,
--------
however, Grantors may sell Inventory on a ▇▇▇▇-and-hold basis in the
-------
ordinary course of its business and as reported to Agent.
(b) In connection with all of its Inventory financed
by Letters of Credit, each Grantor will, at the Agent's request, instruct
all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses or others
receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, Documents or Instruments in
which the Agent holds a security interest to deliver them to the Agent
and/or subject to the Agent's order, and if they shall come into such
Grantor's possession, to deliver them, upon request, to the Agent in their
original form. Each Grantor shall also, at the Agent's request,
12
designate the Agent as the consignee on all bills of lading and other
negotiable and non-negotiable documents.
13. EQUIPMENT.
---------
(a) Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent
and the Lenders and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders that all of the
Equipment owned by such Grantor is and will be used or held for use in such
Grantor's business, and is and will be fit for such purposes. Each Grantor
shall keep and maintain its Equipment in good operating condition and repair
(ordinary wear and tear excepted) and shall make all necessary replacements
thereof.
(b) Each Grantor shall promptly inform the Agent of
any material additions to or deletions from its Equipment. Each Grantor
shall not permit any of its Equipment to become a fixture with respect to
real property or to become an accession with respect to other personal
property with respect to which real or personal property the Agent does not
have a Lien. No Grantor will, without the Agent's prior written consent,
alter or remove any identifying symbol or number on any of such Grantor's
Equipment constituting Collateral.
(c) Except as set forth in the Credit Agreement, no
Grantor shall, without the Agent's prior written consent, sell, license,
lease as a lessor, or otherwise dispose of any of such Grantor's Equipment.
14. DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, AND CHATTEL PAPER. Each Grantor
-----------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that (a) all of its
Documents, Instruments, and Chattel Paper describing, evidencing, or
constituting Collateral, and all signatures and endorsements thereon, are
and will be complete, valid, and genuine, and (b) all goods evidenced by
such Documents, Instruments, and Chattel Paper are and will be owned by such
Grantor, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. If any
Grantor retains possession of any Chattel Paper or Instruments with Agent's
consent, such Chattel Paper and Instruments shall be marked with the
following legend: "This writing and the obligations evidenced or served
hereby are subject to the security interest of Bank of America, N.A., as
Agent, for the benefit of Agent and certain Lenders."
15. RIGHT TO CURE. The Agent may, in its discretion, and shall,
-------------
at the direction of the Required Lenders, pay any amount or do any act
required of any Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document in order
to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce the Secured Obligations, the
Collateral or the Agent's Liens therein, and which such Grantor fails to pay
or do, including payment of any judgment against such Grantor, any insurance
premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any
landlord's or bailee's claim, and any other Lien upon or with respect to the
Collateral. All payments that the Agent makes under this Section 15 and all
----------
out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Agent pays or incurs in connection
with any action taken by it hereunder shall be charged to the Grantors' Loan
Account as a Revolving Loan. Any payment made or other action taken by the
Agent under this Section 15 shall be without prejudice to any right to
----------
assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein
provided.
13
16. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent
-----------------
and the Agent's designee as such Grantor's attorney, with power: (a) to
endorse such Grantor's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders,
or other forms of payment or security that come into the Agent's or any
Lender's possession; (b) to sign such Grantor's name on any invoice, ▇▇▇▇ of
lading, warehouse receipt or other negotiable or non-negotiable Document
constituting Collateral, on drafts against customers, on assignments of
Accounts, on notices of assignment, financing statements and other public
records and to file any such financing statements by electronic means with
or without a signature as authorized or required by applicable law or filing
procedure; (c) so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to notify the post office authorities to change the address for
delivery of such Grantor's mail to an address designated by the Agent and to
receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor; provided,
--------
however, that the Agent and the Agent's designee, as appropriate, upon
-------
completion of its review of such mail and handling of any Collateral
contained therein, shall promptly forward it to Grantor and shall use
reasonable best efforts to avoid opening mail from Grantor's attorneys to
Grantors containing privileged information in such a manner as to destroy
such Grantor's attorney-client privilege; (d) to send requests for
verification of Accounts to such Grantor's customers or Account Debtors;
(e) to complete in such Grantor's name or the Agent's name, any order, sale
or transaction, obtain the necessary Documents in connection therewith, and
collect the proceeds thereof; (f) to clear Inventory through customs in such
Grantor's name, the Agent's name or the name of the Agent's designee, and to
sign and deliver to customs officials powers of attorney in such Grantor's
name for such purpose; (g) to the extent that such Grantor's authorization
given in Section 3(g) of this Security Agreement is not sufficient, to file
------------
such financing statements with respect to this Security Agreement, with or
without such Grantor's signature, or to file a photocopy of this Security
Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Agent may deem
appropriate and to execute in such Grantor's name such financing statements
and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require such
Grantor's signature; and (h) to do all things necessary to carry out the
Credit Agreement and this Security Agreement. Each Grantor ratifies and
approves all acts of such attorney. None of the Lenders or the Agent nor
their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of
judgment or mistake of fact or law except where such liability is
attributable primarily to the bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This power, being coupled
with an interest, is irrevocable until the Credit Agreement has been
terminated and the Secured Obligations have been fully satisfied.
17. THE AGENT'S AND LENDERS' RIGHTS, DUTIES AND LIABILITIES.
-------------------------------------------------------
(a) Each Grantor assumes all responsibility and
liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, license or other
disposition of the Collateral. The Secured Obligations shall not be affected
by any failure of the Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect the
Agent's Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss
of or damage to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of its Secured
Obligations. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the
direction of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to or consent from
any Grantor, ▇▇▇ upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of,
modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or
otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals,
compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with
14
respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating
thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or
indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or
otherwise affecting the liability of any Grantor for the Secured Obligations
or under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement now or hereafter
existing between the Agent and/or any Lender and any Grantor.
(b) It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall remain
liable under each of its contracts and each of its licenses to observe and
perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by
it thereunder. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or
liability under any contract or license by reason of or arising out of this
Security Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt
by Agent or any Lender of any payment relating to any contract or license
pursuant hereto. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be required or obligated
in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor
under or pursuant to any contract or license, or to make any payment, or to
make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received
by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any contract
or license, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to
collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may
have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or
times.
(c) Agent may at any time after a Default or an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing (or if any rights of set-off
(other than set-offs against an Account arising under the contract giving
rise to the same Account) or contra accounts may be asserted with respect to
the following), without prior notice to any Grantor, notify Account Debtors,
and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that Agent has a security
interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to Agent, for
itself and the benefit of Lenders. Upon the request of Agent, each Grantor
shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral.
Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person
obligated on the Collateral, no Grantor shall give any contrary instructions
to such Account Debtor or other Person without Agent's prior written
consent.
(d) Agent may at any reasonable time in Agent's own
name or in the name of any Grantor communicate with such Grantor's Account
Debtors, parties to such Grantor's Contracts and obligors in respect of such
Grantor's Instruments to verify with such Persons, to Agent's reasonable
satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of such Grantor's Accounts,
payment intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper. If a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor, at its own
expense, shall cause the independent certified public accountants then
engaged by such Grantor to prepare and deliver to Agent and each Lender at
any time and from time to time promptly upon Agent's request the following
reports with respect to such Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all such
Grantor's Accounts; (ii) an aging of all such Grantor's Accounts; (iii)
trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts of such
Grantor as Agent may request. Each Grantor, at its own expense, shall
deliver to Agent the results of each physical verification, if any, which
such Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to
have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory.
15
18. PATENT, TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT COLLATERAL.
------------------------------------------
(a) No Grantor has any interest in, or title to, any
material or registered Patent, Trademark or Copyright except as set forth in
Schedule III hereto. This Security Agreement is effective to create valid
------------
and continuing (and, upon filing of the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement with the United States Copyright Office and the filing of
appropriate financing statements, perfected) Liens in favor of Agent on each
Grantor's patents, trademarks and registered copyrights and such perfected
Liens are enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and
purchasers from each Grantor. Upon filing of the Intellectual Property
Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office and the filing of
appropriate financing statements, all action necessary or desirable to
protect and perfect Agent's Lien on each Grantor's patents, trademarks or
registered copyrights shall have been duly taken.
(b) Each Grantor shall notify Agent immediately if it
knows or has reason to know that any application or registration relating to
any material patent, trademark or copyright (now or hereafter existing) may
become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or
development (including the institution of, or any such determination or
development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court) regarding such
Grantor's ownership of any patent, trademark or copyright, its right to
register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.
(c) In no event shall any Grantor, either directly or
through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for
the registration of any patent, trademark or copyright with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or
any similar office or agency without giving Agent prior written notice
thereof, and, upon request of Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver
any and all Intellectual Property Security Agreements, as Agent may request
to evidence Agent's Lien on such patent, trademark or copyright, and the
General Intangibles of Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.
(d) Each Grantor shall take all actions necessary or
requested by Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the
relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the
patents, trademarks and copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including
the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of
noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation
proceedings unless such Grantor shall determine that such patent, trademark
or copyright is not material to the conduct of its business.
(e) In the event that any of the material patent,
trademark or copyright Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or
diluted by a third party, the Grantor owning or licensing the same shall
notify Agent promptly after such Grantor learns thereof. Such Grantor shall,
unless it shall reasonably determine that such patent, trademark or
copyright Collateral is in no way material to the conduct of its business or
operations, promptly seek to recover any and all damages for such
infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other
actions as Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect
such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral.
19. INDEMNIFICATION. In any suit, proceeding or action brought
---------------
by Agent or any Lender relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with
respect thereto or to enforce any
16
rights or claims with respect thereto, each Grantor will save, indemnify and
keep Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason
of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability
whatsoever of an Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral,
arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or
arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time
owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from any Grantor,
except in the case of Agent or any Lender, to the extent such expense, loss,
or damage is attributable primarily to the bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of each Grantor shall be and
remain enforceable against and only against such Grantor and shall not be
enforceable against Agent or any Lender.
20. LIMITATION ON LIENS ON COLLATERAL. No Grantor will create,
---------------------------------
permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take
such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral
except Permitted Liens, and will defend the right, title and interest of
Agent and Lenders in and to any of such Grantor's rights under the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
21. NOTICE REGARDING COLLATERAL. Each Grantor will advise Agent
---------------------------
promptly, in reasonable detail, (a) of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens)
or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral, and (b) of the
occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
22. REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
-----------------------------
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, if any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may exercise all rights
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such
event Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of
public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and
each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly
waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law),
may forthwith enter upon the premises of such Grantor where any Collateral
is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first
obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice
and opportunity for a hearing on Agent's claim or action and may collect,
receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or
any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an
option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver
said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more
parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices
as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. Agent or any Lender shall have the
right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by
law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of
Agent and Lenders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of
any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor
hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time
with or
17
without notice. Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any
Grantor's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any
Grantor's premises without charge for such time or times as Agent deems
necessary or advisable.
(b) Each Grantor further agrees, at Agent's request,
to assemble the Collateral of such Grantor and make it available to Agent at
a place or places designated by Agent which are reasonably convenient to
Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere.
Until Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of
Collateral, Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any
part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of
preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed
appropriate by Agent. Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to
maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties
with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Agent.
Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to
take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Agent's remedies (for
the benefit of Agent and Lenders), with respect to such appointment without
prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Agent shall apply the net
proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization or sale to the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit
Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the
payment by Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need
Agent account for the surplus, if any, to Grantors. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and
demands against Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession,
retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise primarily out of
the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such
Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each
Grantor agrees that 10 days prior notice by Agent of the time and place of
any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is
reasonable notification of such matters. Each Grantor shall remain liable
for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any
attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender to collect
such deficiency.
(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection
with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties
on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for
the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the
Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw
material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products
for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to
Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law,
to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or
disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to
exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons
obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against
Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and
other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of
collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi)
to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any
Grantor, for expressions of
18
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
Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to
provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition
of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to
obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and
other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of
any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this
Section 22(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or
-------------
omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent's
exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely
on account of not being indicated in this Section 22(d). Without limitation
-------------
upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 22(d) shall be
-------------
construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on
Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement
or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 22(d).
-------------
23. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. For the
---------------------------------------------
purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 22
----------
hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 22 hereof, in order
----------
to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale,
market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as
Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each
Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, an
irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any
Proprietary Rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and
wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to
all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and
to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout
thereof.
24. LIMITATION ON AGENT'S AND LENDERS' DUTY IN RESPECT OF
-----------------------------------------------------
COLLATERAL. Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to
----------
the Collateral in its possession or under its control and in its selection
of any third Persons to take possession or control of any Collateral.
Neither Agent nor any Lender 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 Agent or such Lender, or any income thereon or as to the
preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
thereto.
25. MISCELLANEOUS.
-------------
(a) REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall
-------------
remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any
petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or
reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment
for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee
be appointed for all or any significant part of such Grantor's assets, and
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
19
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded
or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference,"
"fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid
and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(b) NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein,
-------
whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent,
approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or
served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the
parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication
with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request,
consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing
and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in
the Credit Agreement.
(c) SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision
------------
of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law,
such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement is
to be read, construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete
understanding and agreement of Agent, Lenders and Grantors with respect to
the matters referred to herein and therein.
(d) NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither Agent
------------------------------
nor any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to
have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be
valid unless in writing, signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein
set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent
would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor
any delay in exercising on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right, power
or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are
cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not
exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or
provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or
amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Agent and
Administrative Borrower.
(e) LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and
-----------------
powers provided in this Security 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 Security 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 Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part,
or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of
any applicable law.
20
(f) TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. Subject
--------------------------------------
to Section 25(a) hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate only upon:
-------------
the termination of all Commitments, the posting of satisfactory collateral
for all outstanding Letters of Credit, and the payment in full of all other
Secured Obligations (other than indemnification Secured Obligations as to
which no claim has been asserted).
(g) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement
----------------------
and all obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession
on behalf of any Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies
of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, hereunder, inure to the
benefit of Agent and Lenders, all future holders of any instrument
evidencing any of the Secured Obligations and their respective successors
and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers
or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing
the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in
any manner affect the Lien granted to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and
Lenders, hereunder. No Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement.
(h) COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be
------------
authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall
collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement. This
Security Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or,
if approved in writing by Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be
equally valid.
(i) GOVERNING LAW; CHOICE OF FORUM; SERVICE OF PROCESS;
---------------------------------------------------
JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
-----------------
(i) THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED
AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS
PROVISIONS PROVIDED THAT ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO CREATION, PERFECTION, AND
ENFORCEMENT OF LIENS UNDER DIVISION 9 OF THE UCC MAY GIVE EFFECT TO
APPLICABLE CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW RULES SET FORTH IN DIVISION 9 OF THE
UCC) OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA; PROVIDED, THAT, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
-------- ----
SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
(ii) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT
TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED
IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND THE AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF
AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE
COURTS. EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND THE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION,
INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF
FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF
--------------------
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH
21
JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED
HERETO. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING: (1) THE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO
BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY GRANTOR OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE
COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN
ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE SECURED
OBLIGATIONS AND (2) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS
FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO
BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.
(iii) EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE
OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS
MAY BE MADE BY OVERNIGHT MAIL, COURIER SERVICE, OR REGISTERED MAIL (RETURN
RECEIPT REQUESTED) DIRECTED TO GRANTORS AT THEIR ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE
CREDIT AGREEMENT AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED 5 DAYS
AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO DEPOSITED IN THE U.S. MAILS POSTAGE
PREPAID. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF AGENT TO SERVE
LEGAL PROCESS BY ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(iv) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR
AMONG THE PARTIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT INCLUDING ANY CLAIM BASED ON OR ARISING FROM AN
ALLEGED TORT, SHALL AT THE REQUEST OF ANY PARTY HERETO BE DETERMINED BY
BINDING ARBITRATION. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
the United States Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code), notwithstanding any
choice of law provision in this Security Agreement, and under the Commercial
Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitrator(s)
---
shall give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any claim. Any
controversy concerning whether an issue is arbitrable shall be determined by
the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for
judicial relief or pursuant to a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not
constitute a waiver of the right of either party, including the plaintiff,
to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party
contests such action for judicial relief.
(v) Notwithstanding the provisions of (iv) above,
no controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration without the
consent of all parties if, at the time of the proposed submission, such
controversy or claim arises from or related to an obligation to the Agent or
any Lender which is secured by real estate property collateral (exclusive of
real estate space lease assignments). If all the parties do not consent to
submission of such a controversy or claim to arbitration, the controversy or
claim shall be determined as provided in Section 25 (i)(vi).
------------------
(vi) At the request of either party a controversy
or claim which is not submitted to arbitration as provided and limited in
Sections 25 (i)(iv) and 25(i)(v) shall be determined by judicial reference.
--------------------------------
If such an election is made, the parties shall designate to the
22
court a referee or referees selected under the auspices of the AAA in the
same manner as arbitrators are selected in AAA-sponsored proceedings. The
presiding referee of the panel, or the referee if there is a single referee,
shall be an active attorney or retired judge. Judgment upon the award
rendered by such referee or referees shall be entered in the court in which
such proceeding was commenced.
(vii) No provision of Sections (iv) through
(vi) shall limit the right of the Agent or the Lenders to exercise self-help
remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal
property collateral or security, or obtaining provisional or ancillary
remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the
pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of a remedy
does not waive the right of either party to resort to arbitration or
reference. At the Agent's option, foreclosure under a deed of trust or
mortgage may be accomplished either by exercise of power of sale under the
deed of trust or mortgage or by judicial foreclosure.
(j) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
--------------------
OF SECTION 25 (i)(iv), EACH GRANTOR AND THE AGENT EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE
------------------
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE
PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR
ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR
OTHERWISE. EACH GRANTOR AND THE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT
LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY
ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART,
TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(k) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY
-----------------------
ANY GRANTOR AGAINST THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS, OR THE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS OF THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM
FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO ▇▇▇
UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR
23
NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.
(l) SECTION TITLES. The Section titles contained in
--------------
this Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or
content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between
the parties hereto.
(m) NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have
----------------------
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security
Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by
the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise
favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any
provisions of this Security Agreement.
(n) ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties represents
-----------------
to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement
and, specifically, the provisions of Section 25(i) and Section 25(j), with
its counsel.
(o) BENEFIT OF LENDERS. All Liens granted or
------------------
contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and all
proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall
be applied to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement.
(p) CONSENTS. Notwithstanding any other provision
--------
contained herein, Agent shall not take any action hereunder that would
require the consent of the Majority Lenders, the Required Lenders or any
Lender, as applicable, under the terms of the Credit Agreement without first
obtaining such Person's or Persons' consent thereunder.
