(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full (other than Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations, Borrower Foreign Currency L/C Obligations, Borrower Cash Management Obligations and contingent or

indemnification obligations not then due), no Letter of Credit (that is not cash collateralized or back-stopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender or purchasing Lender, as applicable, in respect thereof) shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have been terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations, provided that any Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee contained in this Section 2 as provided in Section 8.15.

(e) No payment (other than payment in full) made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations, Borrower Foreign Currency L/C Obligations, Borrower Cash Management Obligations and contingent or indemnification obligations not then due), no Letter of Credit (that is not cash collateralized or back-stopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender or purchasing Lender, as applicable, in respect thereof) shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have been terminated, provided that any Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee contained in this Section 2 as provided in Section 8.15.

2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, or all Lenders, or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of set-off at any time held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, that the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than a defense of payment or performance) (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower from the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the

Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim at the Funding Office.

provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Section 3.1, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in (i) any leasehold interest in real property (and any Fixtures relating thereto) and any Fixtures relating to any owned real property to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not entitled to a security interest with respect to such owned real property under the terms of the Credit Agreement, (ii) any Vehicles and all Proceeds thereof, (iii) any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is (A) prohibited by any Requirements of Law of a Governmental Authority, (B) requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to a Requirement of Law or (C) prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument, (including any permitted liens, leases and licenses) or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property in each case with any third party, joint venture or non wholly-owned Subsidiary or any organizational, shareholder or similar agreements of any non-wholly owned Subsidiary or joint venture; except in the case of clauses (A), (B) or (C), to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document or organizational, shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law, (iv) any property that constitutes Equipment subject to a certificate of title statute, Farm Products, Accessions, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Commercial Tort Claims and As-Extracted Collateral, (v) any property to the extent the granting of such security interest would result in adverse tax consequences as reasonably determined by the Borrower (provided that any such designation shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), (vi) any property as to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the burden or cost of obtaining a security interest or perfection thereof is excessive when compared to the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security to be afforded thereby, (vii) equity interests in and assets of Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Immaterial Subsidiaries, (viii) Capital Stock (including for these purposes any investment deemed to be Capital Stock for United States tax purposes) which is described in the proviso to the definition of Pledged Stock, (ix) any Capital Stock and other securities of a Subsidiary to the extent that the pledge of or grant of any other Lien on such Capital Stock and other securities for the benefit of the holders of Additional Obligations incurred in the form of notes (or the holders of any notes that restructure, refund, replace or refinance the Loans or such Additional Obligations) results in the Borrower, Investor or any Parent Company being required to file separate financial statements of such Subsidiary with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any other governmental authority) pursuant to either Rule 3-10 or 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, or any other law, rule or regulation as in effect from time to time, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement and (x) any aircraft, airframes, aircraft engines or helicopters, or any Equipment or other assets constituting a part thereof. It is hereby understood and agreed that any Property described in the preceding proviso, and any Property that is otherwise expressly excluded from clauses (a) through (m) above, shall be excluded from the definition of “Collateral”.

3.2 Intercreditor Relations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the understanding of the parties that the Liens granted pursuant to Section 3.1 shall with respect to all Collateral, prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), be pari passu and equal in priority to the Liens granted to any Senior Priority Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) for the benefit of the holders of the applicable Senior Priority Obligations to secure such Senior Priority Obligations pursuant to the applicable Senior Priority Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (except as may be separately otherwise agreed between the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties, and any other Senior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) represented thereby). The Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees that the relative priority of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and any Additional Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) shall be determined solely pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or Other Intercreditor Agreement, and not by priority as a matter of law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or Other Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement or Other Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement or Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall govern and control as among (i) the Collateral Agent and any Additional Agent, in the case of the Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) the Collateral Agent and any other secured creditor (or agent therefor) party thereto, in the case of any Other Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any such conflict, each Grantor may act (or omit to act) in accordance with such Intercreditor Agreement or Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and shall not be in breach, violation or default of its obligations hereunder by reason of doing so.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower, each Guarantor and each Grantor hereby represents and warrants with respect to itself to each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party that:

4.1 Representations in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Credit Agreement to the extent they refer to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material respects, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein; provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 4.1, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.

4.2 Title; No Other Liens. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement, such Grantor owns or has rights in each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement, no financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office except financing statements that have been filed without the consent of the Grantor. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned, licensed or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such Intellectual Property. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each

 

12


other Secured Party understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize, sell, lease, license or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.

4.3 Names; Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. On the date hereof, such Grantor’s full and correct legal name, jurisdiction of organization and identification number from the jurisdiction of organization (if any) are specified on Schedule 3.

4.4 Pledged Securities. On the date hereof, the shares of Pledged Stock pledged by such Grantor hereunder:

(a) with respect to the shares of Pledged Stock issued by the Borrower and any other Restricted Subsidiary, have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, to the extent such concepts are applicable; and

(b) constitute (i) in the case of shares of a Domestic Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company), all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the Capital Stock of each Issuer directly owned by such Grantor and (ii) in the case of any Pledged Stock constituting Capital Stock of any class of any Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company, 65% of the outstanding Capital Stock of such class of each relevant Issuer owned directly by such Grantor.

4.5 Intellectual Property. Schedule 4 lists all material Copyright registrations, material Copyright Licenses, material Trademark applications and registrations, material Trademark Licenses, material Patent applications and material Patents and material Patent Licenses owned by such Grantor in its own name on the date hereof.

4.6 [Reserved].

4.7 Material Government Contracts. Schedule 5 lists all Material Government Contracts to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries was a party as of July 25, 2012.

SECTION 5. COVENANTS

Each Guarantor and each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that subject to Section 8.15(b), from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations, Borrower Foreign Currency L/C Obligations, Borrower Cash Management Obligations and contingent or indemnification obligations not then due), no Letter of Credit (that is not cash collateralized or back-stopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender or purchasing Lender, as applicable, in respect thereof) shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have been terminated:

5.1 Covenants in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, to the extent applicable, such Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.2 Investment Property. (a) In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities issued by

 

13


it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it and (ii) the terms of Sections 6.4(c) and 6.9 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.4(c) or 6.9 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it.

(b) To the extent that any Pledged Security that is an Uncertificated Security becomes a Certificated Security, the applicable Grantor shall promptly deliver such certificates evidencing such Pledged Securities to the Collateral Agent together with stock powers or indorsements thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

5.3 Material Government Contracts. In the case of each Grantor, such Grantor shall, on each date that the Borrower is required to deliver financial statements pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b) of the Credit Agreement, commencing with the delivery of financial statements for the quarter ending September 30, 2012, provide the Collateral Agent with written notice of any Material Government Contracts entered into since the last date financial statements were delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b) of the Credit Agreement through and including the date of such financial statements (or, with respect to the first such date financial statements are delivered pursuant to such Sections, since July 25, 2012 through and including September 30, 2012), such notice to include the identification of any Material CLINs, and within fifteen days of such notice, deliver to the Collateral Agent such documentation reasonably necessary to comply with the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 with respect to the assignment of the right of payment in respect of such Material Government Contracts (or, in the case of any Material Government Contract that is an indefinite delivery contract, task or delivery order contract, multiple award schedule contract, blanket purchase agreement, or basic ordering agreement, in respect of any specific individual order for the performance of services or delivery of goods placed under such Material Government Contract to the extent such specific individual order for the performance of services or delivery of goods has a Material CLIN). The relevant Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the applicable U.S. Governmental Authority party to each such Material Government Contract in respect of the assignment of such claims in respect of any Material CLIN, but any failure to receive such consent shall not constitute a Default.

5.4 [Reserved].

5.5 Perfection Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Grantor shall be required to take any actions in order to perfect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders (i) under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or (ii) with respect to any assets specifically requiring perfection through control (including cash, cash equivalents, deposit accounts, securities accounts or other bank accounts, but excluding Pledged Securities).

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

(a) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to furnish to the Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Grantor will be required to disclose any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by Law or any binding agreement, (iii) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product or (iv) constitutes classified information

6.3 Communications with Grantors; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.4 Pledged Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.4(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Securities.

 

15


(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors (which notice shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing), (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.7, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine), all without liability (except liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent) except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing unless the Collateral Agent has given notice of its intent to exercise as set forth above.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying.

6.5 Intellectual Property.

(i) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under Section 6.8 at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent such Grantor has the right to do so, subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, a non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property constituting Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Section 7.5 of the Credit Agreement that limit the rights of the Grantors to dispose of their property, notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the Collateral Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies under Section 6, the Grantors will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the business of the Grantors. In furtherance of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of the respective Grantor (through the Borrower), execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that such Grantor (through the Borrower) shall have certified are appropriate in its judgment to

 

16


allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to clause (i) immediately above as to any specific Intellectual Property). Further, upon the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations (other than Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations, Borrower Foreign Currency L/C Obligations, Borrower Cash Management Obligations and contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and cancellation or termination of all Commitments and Letters of Credit (that are not cash collateralized or back-stopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender or purchasing Lender, as applicable, in respect thereof) or earlier expiration of this Agreement or release of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall grant back to the Grantors the license granted pursuant to clause (i) immediately above. The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 6 by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by the Grantors in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (ii).

6.6 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all of the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.7.

6.7 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations, and shall make any such application in the following order:

First, to pay incurred and unpaid reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Agents under the Loan Documents;

Second, to the Collateral Agent, for application by it towards payment in full of all Unfunded Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Lender pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

Third, to the Collateral Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to each of them; and

Fourth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due), no Letter of Credit (that is not cash collateralized to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender or purchasing Lender, as applicable, in respect thereof) shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have been terminated, shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

 

17


6.8 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notices otherwise provided in the Loan Documents) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith, subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, stay or appraisal in any Grantor, which rights or equities are hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.8, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind actually incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with Section 6.7, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

6.9 Private Sales. Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

 

18


6.10 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

7.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following (provided that anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing):

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any United States Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks owned by such Grantor in its own name, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interest in such Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.8 or 6.9, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of

 

19


competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark of such Grantor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its reasonable discretion determine; and (8) subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may give such Grantor written notice of such failure to perform or comply and if such Grantor fails to perform or comply within three (3) Business Days of receiving such notice (or if the Collateral Agent reasonably determines that irreparable harm to the Collateral or to the security interest of the Collateral Agent hereunder could result prior to the end of such three-Business Day period), then the Collateral Agent may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. To the extent permitted by law, the Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, 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 their directors, officers, employees or agents.

7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral (including fixture

 

20


filings, if any, and amendments) without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property”, “all assets” or any similar phrase in any such financing statements. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to make any such filings promptly following any such request. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the delivery of control agreements with respect to any Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commodities Accounts shall not be required.

7.4 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 or at such other address pursuant to notice given in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, any and all out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or

 

21


disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement. The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.5 Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 8.15, this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

8.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by each Grantor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise after the expiration of any applicable grace periods) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or electronic (i.e., “pdf”) transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

8.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

 

22


8.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any Letter of Credit to which it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court” and, together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”), and appellate courts from either of them; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) the Collateral Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense, including any claim or defense that this Section 8.12 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment and (iii) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in the New York Courts and appellate courts from either of them, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (provided that such waiver shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Grantors to the extent such special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim with respect to which the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement).

8.13 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

 

23


(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders or among the Grantors and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders.

8.14 Additional Guarantors and Grantors. Each Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor and a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Restricted Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto.

8.15 Releases.

(a) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other than Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations, Borrower Foreign Currency L/C Obligations, Borrower Cash Management Obligations and contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments shall have been terminated and no Letter of Credit (that is not cash collateralized or back-stopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender or purchasing Lender, as applicable, in respect thereof) shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Lien granted under this Agreement on such Collateral shall be automatically released, and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral, including, for the avoidance of doubt, notices of termination of the assignment and other related documents with respect to any Property for which an assignment has been made pursuant to any of the Loan Documents (including pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement) which is being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement. A Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, or upon the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary as permitted under the Credit Agreement, and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, shall execute and deliver to the Borrower all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence the release of such obligations. All releases or other documents delivered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8.15(b) shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent.

(c) Liens on Collateral created hereunder shall be released and obligations of Guarantors and Grantors hereunder shall terminate as set forth in Section 10.15 of the Credit Agreement.

8.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR AND, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF, EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND

 

24


UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
