Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (i) all rights of such Grantor to receive dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of the Pledged Collateral which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain shall immediately cease; and (ii) shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to receive (for application to the Obligations) all dividends, interest or principal in respect of Pledged Collateral and to the extent that any thereof is received by or on behalf of a Grantor, it shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause shall be retained by Administrative Agent in an account to be established in the name of Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under its sole dominion and control and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof.

 

(d)             Voting Rights. Subject to the appointment of Administrative Agent as each Grantor’s agent and attorney-in-fact pursuant to Section 5 hereof, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Grantor shall be entitled to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers with respect to the Pledged Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all rights of each Grantor to exercise the voting rights and other rights and powers it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall immediately cease, and all such rights and powers shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting rights and other rights and powers.

 

(e)             Control. If at any time any Pledged Collateral constituting Pledged Equity Interests do not constitute Securities or if any Pledged Equity Interests constituting Securities are not evidenced by a Security Certificate, at the request of Administrative Agent, the applicable Grantor shall take such actions and execute such documents, at such Grantor’s expense, as is necessary to establish Administrative Agent’s Control thereof or otherwise perfect the Security Interest therein, including, but not limited to, such actions as otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.6(b).

 

(f)              Pledged Uncertificated Stock. No interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership owned or controlled by any Grantor that constitutes Pledged Equity Interest shall be represented by a certificate unless (a) the limited liability company agreement or partnership agreement expressly provides that such interests shall be a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction and (b) such certificate shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

Section 3.5            Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a)             It will not, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to not permit any of its licensees (or sublicensees) to, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Patent included in the Collateral (including any Patent that constitutes Material Intellectual Property) that is necessary to the conduct of its business may become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and it shall continue to mark any products covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws.

 

11

 

 

(b)             It will use commercially reasonable efforts to (either directly or through its licensees or its sublicensees), for each material Trademark included in the Collateral (including any Trademark that constitutes Material Intellectual Property) that is necessary to the conduct of its business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under any such Trademark in all material respects, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or other analogous registration to the extent necessary to establish and preserve its rights under applicable law, and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit any of its licensees or sublicensees to use such Trademark in violation of any third party’s valid and legal rights.

 

(c)             It will use commercially reasonable efforts to (either directly or through its licensees or its sublicensees), for each material work covered by a Copyright included in the Collateral that is necessary to the conduct of its business, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the material work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable copyright laws.

 

(d)             It will promptly notify in advance the Administrative Agent (who will in turn notify the Required Lenders) in writing if it knows that any Intellectual Property necessary to the conduct of its business and included in the Collateral may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, 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 or the United States Copyright Office, or any similar offices or tribunals in the United States of America or any other country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such Intellectual Property, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

 

(e)             It will take all commercially reasonable steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar offices or tribunals in the United States of America or any other country, to maintain and pursue each material application relating to the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registered Trademark and Copyright included in the Collateral that is necessary to the conduct of its business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent, in good faith, with reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

 

(f)              In the event that it has reason to believe that any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral necessary to the conduct of its business has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, it shall, if consistent, in good faith, with reasonable business judgment, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions consistent with reasonable business practices under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property, unless it has determined that such infringement, misappropriation or dilution is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(g)             During the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each license included in the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf to effect the assignment (as collateral security) of all of its right, title and interest thereunder to the Administrative Agent or their designee.

 

(h)             Each Grantor shall, prior to or concurrently with the delivery of financial statements required to be delivered under Sections 6.01(a) and 6.01(b) of the Loan Agreement for the applicable period, (i) notify Administrative Agent of any registration or application for registration for any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, and (ii) notify Administrative Agent of the filing of any Patent or Trademark application or registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, and, upon request of Administrative Agent, shall execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Security Interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and each Grantor hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the termination or release, pursuant to Article 9 hereof, of the Lien created hereunder.

 

12

 

 

(i)             In no event shall it, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for any Intellectual Property necessary to the conduct of its business with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar offices in the United States of America or any other country, unless it promptly notifies the Administrative Agent in writing thereof and, upon request of the Administrative Agent, executes and delivers any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property, and such Grantor hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable; provided, however that the foregoing shall not apply to any Intellectual Property that is Excluded Collateral.

 

Section 3.6            Commercial Tort Claims. Each of the Grantors, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that the Perfection Certificate sets forth all Commercial Tort Claims in excess of $500,000 individually as are in existence (i) on the Closing Date, in the case of the Grantors signatory hereto on the Closing Date, and (ii) on the date on which an Additional Grantor becomes a Grantor, in the case of each Additional Grantor. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that it shall provide the Administrative Agent with prompt (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) written notice of each Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $500,000 individually, and any judgment, settlement or other disposition thereof in excess of $500,000 individually and will take such action as Administrative Agent may request to grant and perfect a security interest therein in favor of Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties.

 

Section 3.7            Certain Agreements of Grantors As Issuers and Holders of Equity Interests.(a) In the case of each Grantor which is an issuer of any Pledged Collateral, such Grantor agrees to be bound by the terms of this Security Agreement relating to such Pledged Collateral issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it.

 

(b)             Each Grantor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Equity Interests are or become at any time Uncertificated Securities, then each applicable Grantor shall, and shall cause each other issuer (or, in the case of any issuer that is not a Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such issuer), to promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) an acknowledgement of the pledge of such Pledged Equity Interests in such form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder’s register or on the books of the issuer thereof and (iii) to the extent necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Equity Interests, execute control agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)             In the case of each Grantor which is a partner, shareholder or member, as the case may be, in a partnership, limited liability company or other entity, such Grantor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable Organizational Document to the pledge by each other Grantor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged Equity Interests in such partnership, limited liability company or other entity and, upon the demand by Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the transfer of such Pledged Equity Interests to the Administrative Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its nominee as a substituted partner, shareholder or member in such partnership, limited liability company or other entity with all the rights, powers and duties of a general partner, limited partner, shareholder or member, as the case may be.

 

13

 

 

(d)             Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.4(f) to the contrary, no Grantor will agree to any election to treat any Pledged Equity Interests issued by a partnership or limited liability company (the “Pledged Partnership Interests” or “Pledged LLC Interests”, respectively) as “securities” for purposes of, and governed by, the UCC of any jurisdiction without the prior express written consent of the Administrative Agent and, in any event, if and to the extent that any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests are so treated as “securities”, then the applicable Grantor will promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such treatment and, in such event, take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to establish the Administrative Agent’s Control over such Pledged Partnership Interests and Pledged LLC Interests.

 

Section 3.8            Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. Other than with respect to any Excluded Account, no Grantor shall hereafter open (or otherwise establish) or maintain any Deposit Account or Securities Account unless such Grantor shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Account Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account or Securities Account within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as approved by Administrative Agent in consultation with the Required Lenders) of opening such account or such account ceasing to be an Excluded Account, as applicable. To the extent any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts are opened or established pursuant to the preceding sentence, Borrower shall update Schedule 1.03 of the Loan Agreement to include reference to such Deposit Accounts and/or Securities Accounts and upon delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent, Schedule 1.03 of the Loan Agreement shall be deemed amended thereby.

 

Section 3.9            [Reserved].

 

Section 3.10          Fixtures. Promptly upon, and in any event within sixty (60) days following notice of a Trigger Event (or such longer periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion), the Grantors shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Fixture Filings as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably require and deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Fixture Filings.

 

Section 3.11          Motor Vehicles, Rolling Stock and Aircrafts. No later than ninety (90) days (or such longer period as approved by Administrative Agent in consultation with the Required Lenders) following (i) the Closing Date with respect to any motor vehicles, rolling stock or aircrafts then owned or (ii) the date any new motor vehicles, rolling stock or aircrafts are acquired by the Grantors, the Grantors shall cause the Administrative Agent to be listed as the lienholder on all certificates of title or ownership relating to motor vehicles, rolling stock and aircrafts owned by the Grantors and deliver evidence of the same to the Administrative Agent. Grantors shall take all such other actions as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and perfect its lien on any motor vehicles, rolling stock and aircrafts.

 

ARTICLE 4.
FURTHER ASSURANCES; FILING AUTHORIZATION

 

Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees, at its own cost and expense, to promptly execute and deliver all further certificates, documents, instruments, financing and continuation statements and amendments thereto, notices and other agreements, and take all further action, that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto (or any other documents, forms or filings required or permitted under applicable law with respect to notice and perfection of security interests or liens) that contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment relating to the Collateral. Any financing statement filed by Administrative Agent may be filed in any filing office in any applicable UCC jurisdiction and may (i) indicate the Collateral (1) as “all assets” of each Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the applicable UCC of such jurisdiction, or (2) by any other description which reasonably approximates the description contained in this Security Agreement, and (ii) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the applicable UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment. Each Grantor further ratifies its authorization for the Administrative Agent to have filed in any UCC jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. Each Grantor hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to file filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country), including the Grant of Security Interest in Trademarks and Patents and Grant of Security Interest in Copyrights in the forms of Exhibits A and B, respectively, or other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by such Grantor hereunder, without the signature of such Grantor, and naming such Grantor, as debtor, and the Administrative Agent, as secured party.

ARTICLE 5.
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Each Grantor hereby appoints Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Security Agreement, taking any action such Grantor is obligated to take under any applicable Term Loan Document, and taking any action and executing any instrument that the related Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, provided that Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise its authority as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof, (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral, (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral, (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor, (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral, (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral, (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to Administrative Agent, (h) to change Borrower’s post office mailing address in connection with the Collateral and to do all and any such acts and things in relation to the Collateral as Administrative Agent shall in good faith deem advisable to make, create, maintain, continue, enforce or perfect the Security Interest in any Collateral, (i) to collect all rent, revenues, and incomes pursuant to the terms of any item pledged as Collateral, (j) to endorse the name of such Grantor upon all authorizations to transfer any funds out of any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts maintained by or on behalf of such Grantor as contemplated by the Term Loan Documents, or upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any of the Collateral; (k) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds thereof relating to the Collateral; (l) [reserved]; (m) [reserved];, (n) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, (o) to, 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 (personally or through its agents or attorneys) enter upon or occupy the premises or real estate (whether owned or leased) where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, 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 Administrative Agent’s claim or action and may take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, 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 and Administrative Agent shall have the right to take possession of each Grantor’s original books and records, to obtain access to each Grantor’s data processing equipment, computer hardware and software and to use all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner which Administrative Agent deems appropriate, and (p) Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Security Agreement in accordance with its terms, as fully and completely as though Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes. Each Grantor hereby declares that the appointment made and the powers granted pursuant to this Article 5 are coupled with an interest and are and shall be irrevocable by the Grantors in any manner, or for any reason prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Secured Obligations, and the termination of this Security Agreement pursuant to Article 9 hereof.

 

15

 

 

The provisions of this Article shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Term Loan Documents with respect to any of the Collateral or impose any obligation on Administrative Agent to proceed in any particular manner with respect to any of the Collateral, or in any way limit the exercise by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any other or further right that it may have on the Closing Date or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Term Loan Document, by law or otherwise. Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither of the Administrative Agent, nor any of the other Secured Parties, nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Collateral. In addition, neither of the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Parties, nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable or responsible for (x) 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 or (y) any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by Administrative Agent in good faith.

 

16

 

 

Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Security Agreement shall, as between Administrative Agent and the other applicable Secured Parties, be governed by the Loan Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively 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. The Administrative Agent has been appointed to act as Administrative Agent hereunder by the Lenders, as applicable, and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. Administrative Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Security Agreement and the other Term Loan Documents.

 

ARTICLE 6.
REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

 

Section 6.1            Remedies Generally

 

(a)             Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party by the UCC or otherwise allowed at law, and provided by this Security Agreement, the Account Control Agreements, any other deposit account control agreements and/or securities account control agreements (including, without limitation, issuing notices of exclusive control thereunder) and/or other Collateral Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees, on demand, to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine, determined in its Permitted Discretion, unless any of the Grantor’s obligations would violate any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained.

 

(b)             The Administrative Agent may sell all or a portion of the Collateral in any manner permitted by applicable law, provided, that the Grantors agree that ten (10) days’ written notice of any such sale shall be deemed reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions (or any successor provisions).

 

Section 6.2            Application of Proceeds of Sale

 

The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Loan Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral permitted hereunder are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

 

17

 

 

Section 6.3            Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property

 

For the purpose of enabling Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article, effectively solely at such time as Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants, to the extent it has the right to grant, to Administrative Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or held or hereafter acquired or held by or on behalf of such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable 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. The use of such license by Administrative Agent shall solely be exercised, at the option of Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon such Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default but shall be exercised solely after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any royalties and other payments received by Administrative Agent shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.2.

 

ARTICLE 7.
REIMBURSEMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Each Grantor agrees, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, to pay to or reimburse the Administrative Agent for its fees, costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection herewith in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Loan Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 8.
SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE

 

All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any other Term Loan Documents, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations, or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other waiver, amendment, supplement or other modification of, or any consent to any departure from, the Loan Agreement, any other Term Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (iii) except as otherwise expressly permitted under the Term Loan Documents or effected pursuant thereto, any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on any other Collateral, or any release or waiver, amendment, supplement or other modification of, or consent under, or departure from, any guaranty, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Security Agreement or any other Term Loan Document.

 

18

 

 

ARTICLE 9.
TERMINATION; RELEASE

 

Other than any provisions that expressly survive the Discharge of Secured Obligations, this Security Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate upon the Discharge of Secured Obligations and the Security Interest in the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Security Interest created hereunder, all without delivery of any instrument or any further action by any party, and all rights to any Collateral shall revert to the Grantors, all without recourse to or representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party and all rights to any Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. If the Discharge of Secured Obligations has occurred (without giving effect to the proviso therein) and if, at such time, any Specified Claim exists, then the Grantors and the Administrative Agent shall in good faith negotiate a Transaction Termination Collateral Package Event in respect of such Specified Claim and upon consummation of such Transaction Termination Collateral Package Event, the Discharge of Secured Obligations shall occur. Upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interest in any Collateral pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in such Collateral shall be automatically released. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral permitted by the Term Loan Documents (other than to Holdings or a Loan Party), the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released (provided that to the extent any such sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral would, immediately after giving effect thereto, result in the receipt by such Grantor of any other property (whether in the form of Proceeds or otherwise) that would, but for the release of the Security Interest therein pursuant to this clause, constitute Collateral, then the Lien created hereunder shall continue in such property). In addition, if any of the Pledged Equity Interests in any Subsidiary are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Term Loan Documents and, immediately after giving effect thereto, such Subsidiary would no longer be a Subsidiary, then the obligations of such Subsidiary under this Security Agreement and the Security Interest in the Collateral owned or rights in Collateral held by or on behalf of such Subsidiary, shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Grantor, at such Grantor’s own cost and expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents that such Grantor may reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including written authorization for any Grantor or its designees to file such termination statements or such other documents to evidence the termination or release); provided, however, that in the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral permitted by the Term Loan Documents, the Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, certifying that the transaction is permitted by the Term Loan Documents. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Article shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

 

Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Grantor or other Person and applied to the Obligations, is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Grantor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

 

ARTICLE 10.
ADDITIONAL GRANTORS

 

Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Administrative Agent and a Subsidiary of a joinder agreement or supplement hereto together with a Perfection Certificate, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein (each an “Additional Grantor”). The execution and delivery of any joinder agreement or supplement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement or in any other Term Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties 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 such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
