In such event, the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder or holders of Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Collateral Documents such additional Capital Stock and other securities.

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral 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 Secured Documents in accordance with this Section 2.06(a)(iii).

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Issuer 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 Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral 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) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have provided the Issuer 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

 

-14-


this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that the Collateral 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, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06 shall be reinstated.

(g) Intellectual Property Covenants.

(i) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Indenture or any other Secured Document 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.

(iii) Other than as excluded or as not prohibited herein or in the Indenture or any other Secured Document, 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

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or any other Secured 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, expire or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual Property to the extent permitted by the Indenture or any Secured Document if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.

(v) Within the same delivery period as required for the delivery of the annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 4.03(a)(1) of the Indenture and, if the Indenture is no longer in effect, on an annual basis, the Issuer shall provide a list of any additional registrations of Intellectual Property of all Grantors not previously disclosed to the Collateral Agent including such information as is necessary for such Grantor to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO.

by the Collateral 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with 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 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 Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 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 Collateral 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral 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

 

-22-


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 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 Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 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 Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default (provided that the Collateral 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 the policies of insurance required by the Secured Documents or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. All sums disbursed by the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 4.02 Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, as follows: (i) first, to amounts owing to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and to amounts owing to the Trustee in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, (ii) second, to amounts owing to any Pari Passu Lien Agent in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the applicable Pari Passu Lien Agreement, (iii) third, ratably to amounts owing to the holders of Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and Pari Passu Lien Agreements; and (iv) fourth, to the Issuer and/or other persons entitled thereto.

 

-23-


In making the determination and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the applicable Pari Passu Lien Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal, interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information.

The Collateral 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 Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the 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 Secured Obligations, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral 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 sole and exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral 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 Collateral 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 termination or cure of all Events of Default and shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon 10 Business 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 or any other Secured Documents, 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent under this Agreement, any other Secured Document or applicable Law, nothing in the foregoing license grant shall be construed as granting the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent may be exercised at the option of the Collateral Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral 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 Secured Party in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Secured 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 Secured Parties herein provided, and provided under the Indenture and each other Secured 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the purchase of any Notes and the incurrence of any other Secured Obligations shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Indenture (or any equivalent provisions of any other Secured Document).

SECTION 6.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors hereunder and in the other Secured Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Secured Documents and the purchase of any Notes and the incurrence of any other Secured Obligations, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time any Notes are purchased or any other Secured Obligations are incurred, shall continue in full force and effect as long as this Agreement has not been terminated or released pursuant to Section 6.11 below.

This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Secured Document. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

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.

(a) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate with respect to all Secured Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom shall be automatically released upon payment in full when the principal of and interest under the Senior Secured Notes and all fees and other Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet accrued and payable) shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 6.12 Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 4.19 of the Indenture, certain additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Grantors may enter in this Agreement as Grantors. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a Restricted Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 6.13 Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the Collateral Agent to the applicable Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral 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 Receivable 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 the Collateral Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby.

SECTION 6.14 General Authority of the Collateral Agent. By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Secured Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Security Documents, (b) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such 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 Secured 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 Secured Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Secured Documents.

SECTION 6.15 Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, that the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent accords its own property.

SECTION 6.16 Delegation; Limitation. The Collateral 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 negligence or willful misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with due care.

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 Issuer or other Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

SECTION 6.18 Miscellaneous. The Collateral 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 Collateral Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default or a notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent indicating that an Event of Default has occurred.

SECTION 6.19 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Agreement, the Liens created hereby and the rights, remedies, duties and obligations provided for herein are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, requirements of this Agreement to deliver or grant control (to the extent that only one person can have control of such Collateral) with respect to Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such Collateral or grant of control with respect to Collateral to a Bailee Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) as required pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 6.20 Actions of the Collateral Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent will be permitted to exercise remedies and sell the Collateral under the Security Documents only at the direction of the agents or representatives (including the Trustee in the case of the Holders) who are authorized to act on behalf of the Holders or the holders of Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness for which the Collateral Agent is acting as collateral agent, as applicable, or, to the extent provided in the Indenture or the applicable Secured Documents, at the direction of the holders of a majority in the principal amount of the outstanding Notes and any outstanding Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness for which the Collateral Agent is acting as collateral agent voting as a single class (the “Directing Creditors”). The Directing Creditors shall direct the Collateral Agent in exercising any right, power, discretionary duty or other remedy available to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any Security Document and the other Secured Parties shall not have a right to take any actions with respect to the Collateral. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of a request therefor from the Directing Creditors (or such shorter period as reasonably may be specified in such notice or as may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

SECTION 6.21 Collateral Agent.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly assumed by it in this Agreement, the Indenture and the Security Documents and shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, the Indenture or the Security Documents. Where the Collateral Agent is permitted but not required to take any action pursuant to any Security Document, the Collateral Agent may take any such action but shall have no obligation to take any such action without the direction of the Directing Creditors and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any party for not taking such action if the Directing Creditors have not directed the Collateral Agent to take such action. The Collateral Agent makes no representation as to the existence, validity, value, genuineness, perfection, priority or the collectability of any security or other document or other instrument held by or delivered to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be called upon to advise any party as to the wisdom in taking or refraining to take any action with respect to the Collateral.

(b) The Collateral Agent has accepted and is bound by the Security Documents delivered to it as of the date of this Agreement and, subject to this Article VI, shall accept and be bound by all Security Documents delivered to it at any time after the date of this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not otherwise be bound by, or obligated to take cognizance of the provisions of, any agreement to which it is not a party, including any Pari Passu Lien Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any Secured Document to which its not a party. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for compliance with the terms of any Security Document by any Grantor or party related thereto and shall have no duty to monitor any such compliance.

 

-31-


(c) The Collateral Agent may at any time solicit confirmatory instructions, including from the Directing Creditors or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action which it may be requested or required to take, or which it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations under any Security Document.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any Security Document, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form and upon substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it.

(f) The Collateral Agent may rely conclusively upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any electronic transmission) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons and need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document. The Collateral Agent may seek and rely upon any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by any Grantor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Security Documents or delivered to it by the Trustee or Pari Passu Lien Agent as to Secured Parties whose action or consent is required for an instruction of Directing Creditors, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an officers’ certificate or an opinion of counsel is required or permitted under this Agreement or any Security Document to be delivered to the Collateral Agent in respect of any matter, the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on such officers’ certificate or opinion of counsel as to such matter. The Collateral Agent may request an opinion of counsel, a certificate of an officer of a Grantor, or both, at any time when it is required or requested to take any action hereunder or under any Security Document stating that such action is permitted or authorized pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Secured Documents and that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on such officer’s certificate or opinion of counsel with respect thereto. Whenever the Collateral Agent shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Secured Obligations, or the existence of any Lien securing any such obligations, or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the Trustee or the Pari Passu Lien Agent, as applicable and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information so furnished;

provided, however, that if Trustee or the Pari Passu Lien Agent, as applicable, shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, but not obligated, to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Issuer. The Collateral Agent may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the Grantor, any Secured Party, or any other person as a result of such determination.

(g) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Event of Default under the Indenture, the Pari Passu Lien Agreement or any other Secured Document and shall not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until it receives a notice from the Trustee or the Pari Passu Lien Agent to such effect.

(h) As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting as directed by the Directing Creditors and shall be fully protected in doing so.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or indemnity which it, in its discretion, deems sufficient against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action. The Directing Creditors hereby jointly and severally agree to provide such security or indemnity to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent therefor.

(j) (i) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 45 days’ notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Pari Passu Lien Agent and the Issuer, and (ii) the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time, with or without cause, pursuant to the instructions of the Directing Creditors. If the Collateral Agent on the date of this Agreement resigns at any time, the Trustee shall automatically succeed to all the rights and obligations of the then existing Collateral Agent and the Security Documents and shall become a successor Collateral Agent for all intents and purposes hereunder and under the Security Documents without any further action by any party.

(k) Upon the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed by the Trustee and the Pari Passu Lien Agent, acting jointly, or by the instructions of the Directing Creditors, in each case with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Issuer; provided that such consent shall not be required if the successor Collateral Agent is the Trustee or any Pari Passu Lien Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gave notice of resignation or was removed, the retiring Collateral Agent may appoint a successor Collateral Agent, or petition at the expense of the Secured Parties a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, which shall be a bank or trust company (i) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, (ii) acceptable to the Trustee and the Pari Passu Lien Agent, (iii) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and (iv) maintaining an office in New York, New York.

 

-33-


(l) When the Person so appointed as successor Collateral Agent accepts such appointment:

(i) such Person shall succeed to and become vested with either all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the predecessor Collateral Agent or such other rights, powers, privileges and duties as may be agreed in writing at the time of appointment, and upon appointment of such Person as Collateral Agent the predecessor Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and

(ii) the predecessor Collateral Agent, upon payment of all amounts owed to it, shall promptly transfer all Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Agent and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Agent to transfer to the successor Collateral Agent all Liens, interests, rights, powers and remedies of the predecessor Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral or under the Security Documents.

Thereafter the predecessor Collateral Agent shall remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in this Article VI.

(m) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to possess all of the rights and protections provided to the Trustee under the Indenture, including without limitation all of the rights provided to the Trustee in Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.04 and 7.07 of the Indenture. Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.21, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have no duties or obligations to any Secured Parties, the Trustee, the Pari Passu Lien Agent, or the holders of any Notes, Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness or any other Secured Obligation (including, without limitation, any fiduciary obligations). Each of the Trustee, the Pari Passu Lien Agent, any Secured Parties, and the holders of any Senior Secured Notes and any Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness acknowledges and agrees that (i) entering into this Agreement is an arm’s-length transaction among the parties hereto, and the parties hereto are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, the Collateral Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of any of the parties hereto, the holders of any Notes or Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) the Collateral Agent has not assumed and will not assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent or its affiliates has advised or is currently advising any other party on other matters) or any other obligation to any party other than the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the Collateral Agent and its affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the other parties hereto and the Collateral Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and

 

-34-


(v) the Collateral Agent has not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any offering of securities or lending transaction and the parties hereto have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

SECTION 6.22 Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness. On or after the Issue Date, the Issuer may from time to time designate additional obligations as Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness by delivering to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Pari Passu Lien Agent (a) an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer (i) identifying the obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, stating that such obligations are designated as “Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness” and “Secured Obligations” for purposes hereof, (ii) representing that such designation complies with the terms of the Indenture and each then extant Pari Passu Lien Agreement, (iii) specifying the name and address of the Pari Passu Lien Agent for such obligations (if other than the Trustee) and (iv) stating that the Grantors have complied with their obligations under this Agreement; and (b) except in the case of Additional Notes, a fully executed Pari Passu Lien Joinder Agreement.

Exhibit I to the

Security Agreement

SUPPLEMENT NO.     dated as of [] (the “Supplement”), to the Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), dated as of November 16, 2012, among the Grantors identified therein and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent.

A. Reference is made to that certain the Indenture dated as of November 16, 2012 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among APX Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Issuer”), APX Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Holdings”), the other Guarantors party thereto from time to time and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Collateral 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. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to secure the obligations under the Indenture and the other Secured Obligations. Section 6.12 of the Security Agreement provides that additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer 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 Collateral 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; provided that, to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the 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 Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as 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 Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. 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 4. The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the information required by Schedules II and III to the Security Agreement applicable to it and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the New Grantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent.
