Upon the Discharge of First Lien Debt, each Grantor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, any and all Pledged Securities (other than any uncertificated securities, but only for so long as such securities remain uncertificated) to the extent such Pledged Securities, in the case of promissory notes or other instruments evidencing Indebtedness, are required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.02.

(b) Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Debt, each Grantor will cause any Indebtedness for borrowed money having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $5,000,000 owed to such Grantor by any Person pursuant to any obligation to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note that is pledged and delivered to the First Lien Agent as bailee and agent for and on behalf of the Second Lien Agent.

(e) the execution and performance by the Grantors of this Agreement are within each Grantor’s corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action or other organizational action;

(h) the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, the rights of the Second Lien Agent in the Pledged Collateral to the extent intended hereby.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements, each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will comply with instructions of the Second Lien Agent with respect to the Equity Interests in such Grantor that constitute Pledged Equity hereunder that are not certificated without further consent by the applicable owner or holder of such Equity Interests.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any provision of this Agreement or the Indenture excludes any assets from the scope of the Pledged Collateral, or from any requirement to take any action to perfect any security interest in favor of the Second Lien Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties in the Pledged Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants made by any relevant Grantor in this Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as applicable) of the security interest granted in favor of the Second Lien Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties (including, without limitation, this Section 2.03) shall be deemed not to apply to such excluded assets.

Section 2.04. Certification of Limited Liability Company and Limited Partnership Interests. No interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by any Grantor that constitutes Pledged Equity shall be represented by a certificate unless (i) 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 (ii) such certificate shall be delivered to the First Lien Agent or Second Lien Agent, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.02. Any limited liability company and any limited partnership controlled by any Grantor shall either (a) not include in its operative documents any provision that any Equity Interests in such limited liability company or such limited partnership be a “security” as defined under Article 8 of the UCC or (b) certificate any Equity Interests in any such limited liability company or such limited partnership. To the extent an interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by any Grantor and pledged under Section 2.01 is certificated or becomes certificated, (i) each such certificate shall be delivered to the First Lien Agent or Second Lien Agent, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and (ii) such Grantor shall fulfill all other requirements under Section 2.02 applicable in respect thereof.

held in trust for the benefit of the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Secured Parties and shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) delivered to the Second Lien Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Second Lien Agent). So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Second Lien Agent shall promptly deliver to each Grantor any Pledged Securities in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Securities permitted by the Indenture in accordance with this Section 2.06(a)(iii).

(b) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Second Lien Agent shall have notified the Issuers of the suspension of the Grantors’ rights under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Second Lien Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions.

After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Company has delivered to the Second Lien Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company to that effect, the Second Lien Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 and that remain in such account.

(c) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Second Lien Agent shall have provided the Issuers with notice of the suspension of its rights under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Second Lien Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Second Lien Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by Holders representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes, the Second Lien Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Issuers have delivered to the Second Lien Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Issuers to that effect, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that the Issuers would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above, and the obligations of the Second Lien Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06 shall be reinstated.

(d) Any notice given by the Second Lien Agent to the Issuers under Section 2.05 or Section 2.06(i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Second Lien Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Second Lien Agent’s

(a) Each Grantor has good and valid rights in and title (except as otherwise permitted by the Security Documents) to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Second Lien Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained and those consents or approvals, the failure of which to be obtained or to be made could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set forth therein is correct and complete in all material respects (except the information therein with respect to the exact legal name of each Grantor shall be correct and complete in all respects) as of the Closing Date. Subject to Section 3.01(g), the UCC financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations prepared by Grantors (other than filings required to be made in the USPTO and the USCO in order to perfect the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights), are all the filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Second Lien Agent (for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the UCC, and no further or subsequent filing, re-filing, recording, rerecording, registration or re-registration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.

The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than any Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Indenture.

(e) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Indenture. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the UCC or any other applicable Laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the USPTO or the USCO or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Indenture and assignments permitted by the Indenture.

(f) As of the date hereof, no Grantor has any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $5,000,000, other than the Commercial Tort Claims listed on Schedule III.

(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, Section 3.01(g) and Section 3.03(f)(iv), each Grantor shall, at its own expense, upon the reasonable request of the Second Lien Agent, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Second Lien Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Indenture; provided that, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its assets or properties if such discontinuance is (x) determined by such Grantor to be desirable in the conduct of its business and (y) permitted by the Indenture.

(c) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements and Section 3.01(g), each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Second Lien Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $5,000,000 shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or debt security, such note, instrument or debt security shall be promptly (and in any event within 60 days of its acquisition) pledged and delivered to the Second Lien Agent (or with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent as bailee for the Second Lien Agent pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or after Discharge of ABL Obligations but prior to Discharge of First Lien Debt, the First Lien Agent as bailee for the Second Lien Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreements), for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien Agent.

(d) At its option, the Second Lien Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to do so) discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Indenture, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture or any other Security Document and within a reasonable period of time after the Second Lien Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Second Lien Agent within 10 Business Days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Second Lien Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, the Grantors shall not be obligated to reimburse the Second Lien Agent with respect to any Intellectual Property that any Grantor has failed to maintain or pursue, or otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain in accordance with Section 3.03(f)(iv). Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Security Documents.

(e) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person the value of which is in excess of $5,000,000 to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, promptly (but in any event within 60 days after such action by such Grantor) assign such security interest to the Second Lien Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any Excluded

 

-15-


Assets. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(f) Intellectual Property Covenants.

(i) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Indenture or with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other Governmental Authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application now or hereafter included in the Intellectual Property of such Grantor that are not Excluded Assets.

(ii) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Indenture, or with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, or except as would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property, excluding Excluded Assets, may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in the case of a trade secret, become publicly known).

(iii) Other than as excluded or as not prohibited herein or in the Indenture, or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks which are no longer used or useful in the applicable Grantor’s business operations or except where failure to do so would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to standards of quality.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or any other Security Document prevents or shall be deemed to prevent any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual Property to the extent permitted by the Indenture if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.

(v) Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership or other interest in any Intellectual Property constituting Article 9 Collateral after the Closing Date, (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and (ii) any such Intellectual Property and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become Intellectual Property subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(vi) Within the same delivery period as required for the delivery of the annual Compliance Certificate required to be delivered under Section 4.04 of the Indenture, the Issuers shall (i) provide a list of any Intellectual Property constituting Article 9 Collateral of all Grantors not previously disclosed to the Second Lien Agent, including such information as is necessary for such Grantor to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO and (ii) execute and file with the USPTO and USCO, as applicable, an

 

-16-


Intellectual Property Security Agreement to record the grant of the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property. As soon as practicable upon each such filing and recording, such Grantor shall deliver to the Second Lien Agent true and correct copies of the relevant documents, instruments and receipts evidencing such filing and recording.

(g) Commercial Tort Claims. If the Grantors shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated by such Grantor to exceed $5,000,000 for which this clause has not been satisfied and for which a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction has been filed, such Grantor shall within 60 days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which such complaint was filed notify the Second Lien Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of such claim and grant to the Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Grantors Remain Liable. Each Grantor (rather than the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

Section 3.04. First Lien Security Documents. In the event any Grantor shall create any additional security interest upon any property or assets to secure any Priority Lien Obligations, it shall concurrently grant a security interest to the Second Lien Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties upon such property as security for the Second Lien Secured Obligations. In the event any Grantor shall undertake any actions to perfect or protect any liens on any assets pledged in connection with either Credit Agreement or any other Priority Lien Obligations, such Grantor shall also at the same time undertake such actions with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Second Lien Agent without request by the Second Lien Agent.

ARTICLE IV

Remedies

Section 4.01. Remedies Upon Default. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Second Lien Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Second Lien Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, under the UCC or other applicable Law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Second Lien Agent, promptly assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Second Lien Agent and make it available to the Second Lien Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Second Lien Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Grantors are not required to obtain any waiver or consent from any owner of such leased premises in connection with such occupancy or attempted occupancy) by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under Law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Second Lien Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with reasonable prior notice thereof which in any event shall be at least 10 days prior to such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the

 

-17-


Second Lien Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with reasonable notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Second Lien Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Second Lien Agent shall deem appropriate. The Second Lien Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Second Lien Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral 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 appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Second Lien Agent shall give the applicable Grantors at least 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Second Lien Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Second Lien Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Second Lien Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Second Lien Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Second Lien Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Second Lien Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Second Lien Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Second Lien Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Second Lien Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Second Lien Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Second Lien Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Second Lien Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Second Lien Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Second Lien 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

 

-18-


the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Second Lien Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Second Lien Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default (provided that the Second Lien Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to, to the extent reasonably practicable, or otherwise promptly after, exercising such rights), for the purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies if insurance, (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining policies of insurance or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. All sums disbursed by the Second Lien Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the Second Lien Agent and shall be additional Second Lien Secured Obligations secured hereby.

Section 4.02. Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the Second Lien Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash as follows:

(i) First, to amounts owing to the Second Lien Agent in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents;

(ii) Second, to amounts owing to the Trustee in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

(iii) Third, ratably to amounts owing to the holders of Second Lien Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

(iv) Last, to the relevant Grantor, as applicable, their successors or assigns or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Second Lien Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Second Lien Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Second Lien 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 Second Lien Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

The Second Lien Agent shall have no liability to any of the Second Lien Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Second Lien Secured Obligations, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Second Lien Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Second Lien Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error).

Section 4.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Second Lien Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Second Lien Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and

 

-19-


during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Second Lien Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the waiver or cure of all Events of Default and the delivery by the Issuers to the Second Lien Agent of an Officer’s Certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Issuers to that effect) for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Second Lien Agent shall deem appropriate to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by 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; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the Second Lien Agent to use such licenses, sublicenses and other rights, and (to the extent permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) all licenses and sublicenses granted thereunder, shall expire immediately upon the waiver or cure of all Events of Default and the delivery by the Issuers to the Second Lien Agent of an Officer’s Certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Issuers to that effect and shall be exercised by the Second Lien Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon no less than 10 days’ prior written notice to the applicable Grantor, and nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that any such license and any such license granted by the Second Lien Agent to a third party shall include reasonable and customary terms and conditions necessary to preserve the existence, validity and value of the affected Intellectual Property, including without limitation, provisions requiring the continuing confidential handling of trade secrets, requiring the use of appropriate notices and prohibiting the use of false notices, quality control and inurement provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to Patents, copyright notices and restrictions on decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software (it being understood and agreed that, without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Second Lien Agent under this Agreement, any other Security Document or applicable Law, nothing in the foregoing license grant shall be construed as granting the Second Lien Agent rights in and to such Intellectual Property above and beyond (x) the rights to such Intellectual Property that each Grantor has reserved for itself and (y) in the case of Intellectual Property that is licensed to any such Grantor by a third party, the extent to which such Grantor has the right to grant a sublicense to such Intellectual Property hereunder). For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Second Lien Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Second Lien Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Second Lien Agent may also exercise the rights afforded under Section 4.01 of this Agreement with respect to Intellectual Property contained in the Article 9 Collateral.

Section 6.02. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay by any Second Lien Secured Party in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Security Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Second Lien Secured Parties herein provided, and provided under each other Security Document, are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

Section 6.07. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

-24-


employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, in each case, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 6.14. General Authority of the Second Lien Agent. By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Security Documents, each Second Lien Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Second Lien Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Security Documents, (b) to confirm that the Second Lien Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Second Lien Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Security Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Security Document against any Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Security Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Security Documents.

Section 6.15. Reasonable Care. The Second Lien Agent is required to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, that the Second Lien Agent shall be deemed to have used reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which the Second Lien Agent accords its own property.

Section 6.16. Delegation; Limitation. The Second Lien Agent may execute any of the powers granted under this Agreement and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be responsible for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 6.17. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Grantors under this Security Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Issuers in respect of the Second Lien Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Second Lien Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

Section 6.18. Miscellaneous. The Second Lien Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Second Lien Agent shall have received a written notice of Event of Default or a written notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to the Second Lien Agent in its capacity as Second Lien Agent indicating that an Event of Default has occurred.

Section 6.19. Intercreditor Agreements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and this Agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements shall control. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, any requirement hereunder to deliver any Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral to the Second Lien Agent shall be deemed

 

-25-


satisfied by delivery of such ABL Priority Collateral to the ABL Agent as bailee for the Second Lien Agent pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 6.20. Relationship to Indenture. The parties hereto hereby agree that the Second Lien Agent shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections, privileges, indemnities and immunities afforded to it and the Trustee under the Indenture in connection with its execution of this Agreement and performance of its obligations hereunder.

A. Reference is made to the Second Lien Notes Indenture dated as of May 7, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”) among DJO FINCO INC., a Delaware corporation, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”) and as Second Lien Agent (the “Second Lien Agent”), as amended by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 7, 2015 (the “Supplemental Indenture”; and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture and as otherwise amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee and the Second Lien Agent.

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture and the Security Agreement.

C. Section 6.12 of the Security Agreement provides that additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuers may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement.

Accordingly, the Second Lien Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.12 of the Security Agreement, the 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 the 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 on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Second Lien Secured Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Second Lien Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Second Lien Agent and the other Second Lien 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 such enforceability may be limited by debtor relief Laws and by general principles of equity.

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

SECTION 7. If any provision of this Supplement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Supplement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.

SECTION 9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Second Lien Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Second Lien Agent.
