Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

On May 3, 2019 (the “Trigger Date”),  PA Opportunity VI completed discussions relating to a default under a security agreement, dated as of May 8, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), between Sun Wise (UK) Co., Ltd (“SWUK”) and Lord Central Opportunity V Limited (the “Security Agent”), an affiliate of PA Opportunity VI. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, SWUK previously pledged 19,452,063 shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) as partial security for the repayment of a loan previously made to SWUK in connection with the acquisition by SWUK of the Shares of the Issuer pursuant to the Facility Agreement (as defined in Item 6 below). The Security Agreement is described in more detail in Item 6. On May 9, 2018, PA Opportunity VI delivered a default notice and took other formal steps to declare a default under the Security Agreement. Following its delivery of the default notice, PA Opportunity VI continued to negotiate with SWUK and certain other obligors under the Facility Agreement for a potential cure to the default until the Trigger Date.  As such, PA Opportunity VI did not determine that its right to vote and/or dispose of the pledged Shares, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (as applicable and subject to limitations in the stockholders agreement described in Item 4), would become exercisable until it discontinued such negotiations on the Trigger Date.

 

Therefore, effective as of the Trigger Date, each Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares. Certain information regarding the Reporting Persons’ rights and obligations as beneficial owners of the Shares is set forth in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D below. To the extent required by Item 3 of Schedule 13D, the information set forth in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares for investment purposes and intend to review their respective investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. From time to time and at any time in the future, the Reporting Persons may, subject to the transfer restriction and other arrangements discussed below, take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate. These actions may include: (i) acquiring additional Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities or derivative or other instruments of the Issuer that are based upon or relate to the value of the shares of Common Stock or the Issuer (collectively, the “Securities”) in the open market or otherwise; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise, including to recoup in part or in full the amount of indebtedness of the borrower under the Facility Agreement (as defined below); (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. In determining whether to carry out any of the aforementioned actions, the Reporting Persons may consider factors such as the terms of certain arrangements discussed in Item 6 below, as well as the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s board of directors, price levels of the shares of Common Stock, any rights or restrictions relating to the Reporting Persons, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions.

 

To effect the transfer of the Shares, the Reporting Persons, acting through the Security Agent, and the Issuer were required to enter into certain transfer restriction arrangements with respect to the Shares, substantially consistent with those transfer restrictions set forth in a stockholders agreement, dated as of March 24, 2017, between the Issuer, SWUK and Zhonghong Zhuoye Group Co., Ltd. (“ZHG”), including a limitation on the Reporting Persons’ ability to sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares on or prior to May 8, 2019, and to join the Security Agent as a party to the registration rights agreement, dated as of March 24, 2017 between the Issuer and ZHG (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). These transfer restrictions and the agreement to join the Security Agent to the Registration Rights Agreement are set forth in a letter agreement, dated as of May 3, 2019, between the Issuer and the Security Agent (the “Letter Agreement”), and are described in Item 6. Additionally, each of the Letter Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement is incorporated by reference herein and is filed as Exhibit 99.4 and 99.5 hereto, respectively.

 

As of the date hereof, except as described above, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

To the extent required by Item 4 of Schedule 13D, the information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) and (b) The information relating to the beneficial ownership of the Shares by each of the Reporting Persons is set forth in Rows 7 through 11 of each of the cover pages hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Calculations of the percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned assumes that there are a total of 84,126,506 outstanding shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share as of February 22, 2019, as reported in the Issuer’s annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2019.  Based on this number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 23.1% of the total number of outstanding Common Stock as listed on such Reporting Person’s respective reporting page. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership in the Shares reported herein, except to the extent of the Reporting Person’s respective pecuniary interest therein.

 

The Shares are held in the name of the Security Agent on behalf of PA Opportunity VI and a junior investor, China Huarong International Holdings Limited (the “Junior Investor”). The Security Agent does not have discretionary authority over the Shares; the Junior Investor has certain limited discretionary authority over the Shares, but will not have the power to vote or dispose of the Shares until the debt owed to PA Opportunity VI that is secured by the Shares is fully discharged  (assuming the Security Agent still holds the Shares at that time).

 

(c) Other than as described in Item 3, during the past 60 days, none of the Reporting Persons or Covered Individuals has acquired any shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

(d) No other person is known by any Reporting Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock beneficially owned by any Reporting Person.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

To the extent required by Item 6 of Schedule 13D, the information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Facility Agreement

 

In connection with the initial purchase of the Shares by SWUK, SWUK, Sun Wise Oriented (HK) Co., Limited (“SWHK”) and PA Opportunity VI entered into a facility agreement dated as of May 8, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”), whereby SWUK borrowed approximately $150,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 9%. Unless previously prepaid in accordance with its terms, the Facility Agreement matures on May 8, 2019, subject to any mutually agreed extension. The terms of the Facility Agreement include the issuance by SWUK to PA Opportunity VI of a single Class A Preference Share of SWUK (the “Class A Share”). As described in the Facility Agreement, the Class A Share carries certain voting rights with respect to the capital of SWUK and entitles PA Opportunity VI to appoint one director to the board of directors of SWUK (the “Class A Director”). The consent or approval of the holder of the Class A Share and the Class A Director is required in order for SWUK to take certain actions, including, among others, the selling, disposing of, and proposing to sell or dispose of any asset of SWUK, including any Common Stock.

 

Security Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Security Agreement, upon the occurrence of certain events of default as defined in the Facility Agreement, PA Opportunity VI may require SWUK to pre-pay amounts outstanding under the Facility Agreement and exercise its rights to foreclose on and dispose of the Pledged Shares and other collateral, in each case in accordance with the Facility Agreement and Security Agreement.

 

Transfer Restrictions

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Security Agent may not transfer any shares of the Company from the period commencing on the date of the Letter Agreement and ending on May 8, 2019 (the “Restricted Period”) unless (i) such transfer is approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested members of the Issuer’s board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof; (ii) such transfer is to (a) PA Opportunity VI or the Junior Investor or (b) certain affiliates of the Security Agent, PA Opportunity VI or the Junior Investor not engaged in the business of owning or operating theme parks, provided that such entity agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter Agreement (such transferees, together with the Security Agent, the “Creditor Parties”); (iii) such transfer is in connection with an acquisition approved by the Issuer’s board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof; (iv) such transfer constitutes a tender into a tender or exchange offer commenced by the Issuer or any of its affiliates; or (v) such transfer is in connection with a bona fide mortgage, encumbrance or pledge to a financial institution in connection with any bona fide loan or debt transaction or enforcement thereunder, provided that such entity is not controlled by any governmental authority in connection with a bona fide loan or enforcement thereunder (or, if such financial institution is controlled by a governmental authority, then such financial institution must be included in The Banker’s most recently issued Top 1000 World Banks ranking or have common equity securities listed on a globally recognized stock exchange).

 

Following the Restricted Period, other than in an underwritten public offering, block trade or permitted transfer described above, none of the Creditor Parties will be permitted to transfer shares of the Issuer to certain competitors of the Issuer or, to the knowledge of such Creditor Party or its broker, a person or group who is a 5% stockholder or who would thereby become a 5% stockholder. In addition, in an underwritten public offering or block trade, other than a permitted transfer described above, the transferring Creditor Party will instruct the underwriter or broker not to transfer any shares to a person or group who is a 5% stockholder or would become a 5% stockholder (unless the identity of the purchaser is not known to the underwriter or broker). In a block trade, other than a permitted transfer described above, the transferring Creditor Party will instruct its broker not to transfer shares to certain competitors of the Issuer (unless the identity of the purchaser is not known to such Creditor Party or its broker).

Except as set forth above, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between the Reporting Persons, the Covered Individuals and/or any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.

(b)                                 the Lender has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

 

the Lender shall pay an amount to the Obligor which the Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

(c)                                  The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify the Lender accordingly. Similarly, the Lender shall notify the Borrower on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to the Lender.

GUARANTEE

 

16.       Guarantee and Indemnity

 

16.1                        Guarantee and indemnity

 

The Offshore Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)                                 guarantees to the Lender punctual performance by the Borrower of all the Borrower’s obligations under the Finance Documents;

(b)                                 undertakes with the Lender that whenever the Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, it shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c)                                  agrees with the Lender that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Lender immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of the Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Offshore Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 16 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

 

16.2                        Continuing guarantee

 

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by the Borrower under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

 

42


 

16.3                        Reinstatement

 

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by the Lender in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Offshore Guarantor under this Clause 16 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

 

16.4             Waiver of defences

 

The obligations of the Offshore Guarantor under this Clause 16 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 16, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 16 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Lender) including:

 

(a)                                 any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

(b)                                 the release of the Borrower or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

(c)                                  the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, execute, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, the Borrower or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

(d)                                 any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of the Borrower or any other person;

(e)                                  any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Finance Document or any other document or security including any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

(f)                                   any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security;

(g)                                  any insolvency or similar proceedings; or

(h)                                 this Agreement or any other Finance Document not being executed by or binding upon any other party.

 

43


 

16.5                        Immediate recourse

 

The Offshore Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Offshore Guarantor under this Clause 16. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

 

16.6                        Guarantor Intent

 

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 16.4 (Waiver of defences), the Offshore Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents.

 

16.7                        Appropriations

 

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrower under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

 

(a)                                 refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Offshore Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b)                                 hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Offshore Guarantor or on account of the Offshore Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 16.

 

16.8                        Deferral of Guarantor’s rights

 

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Lender otherwise directs, the Offshore Guarantor will not exercise or otherwise enjoy the benefit of any right which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 16:

 

(a)                                 to be indemnified by an Obligor;

(b)                                 to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of or provider of security for any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;

(c)                                  to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Lender under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by the Lender;

 

44


 

(d)                                 to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Offshore Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 16.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

(e)                                  to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or

(f)                                   to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with the Lender.

 

If the Offshore Guarantor shall receive any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to any such right, it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution (or so much of it as may be necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Lender by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be paid in full) on trust for the Lender, and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Lender or as the Lender may direct.

 

16.9                        Additional security

 

This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by the Lender.

(ii)           will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(ii)           each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender; and

(iii)          the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

(c)                                  The procedure set out in this Clause 22.4 shall not apply to any right or obligation under any Finance Document (other than this Agreement) if and to the extent its terms, or any laws or regulations applicable thereto, provide for or require a different means of transfer of such right or obligation or prohibit or restrict any transfer of such right or obligation, unless such prohibition or restriction shall not be applicable to the relevant transfer or each condition of any applicable restriction shall have been satisfied.

If any bank or Securities Intermediary with which a Collateral Account is maintained refuses to subordinate all its claims with respect to such Collateral Account to the Pledgee’s security interests therein on terms satisfactory to the Pledgee, then the Pledgee, at its option, may (x) require that such Collateral Account be terminated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or (y) agree to a “control agreement” without such subordination, provided that in such event the Pledgee may at any time, at its option, subsequently require that such Collateral Account be terminated (within thirty (30) days after notice from the Pledgee in accordance with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence; and

(b) In addition to the actions required to be taken pursuant to Section 3.2(a) hereof, the Pledgor shall take the following additional actions with respect to the Collateral:

 

(i) with respect to all Collateral of the Pledgor whereby or with respect to which the Pledgee may obtain “Control” thereof within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC (or under any provision of the UCC as same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or under the laws of any relevant State other than the State of New York), the Pledgor shall take all actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Pledgee so that “Control” of such Collateral is obtained and at all times held by the Pledgee; and

 

(ii) the Pledgor shall from time to time cause appropriate financing statements (on appropriate forms) under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the relevant States, covering all Collateral hereunder (with the form of such financing statements to be satisfactory to the Pledgee), to be filed in the relevant filing offices so that at all times the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral which can be perfected by the filing of such financing statements (in each case to the maximum extent perfection by filing may be obtained under the laws of the relevant States, including, without limitation, Section 9-312(a) of the UCC) is so perfected.

 

3.3 Subsequently Acquired Collateral. If the Pledgor shall acquire (by purchase, stock dividend, distribution or otherwise) any additional Collateral at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, (i) such Collateral shall automatically (and without any further action being required to be taken) be subject to the pledge and security interests created pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof and, furthermore, the Pledgor will thereafter take (or cause to be taken) all actions (as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within ten (10) days after it obtains such Collateral) with respect to such Collateral in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, and will promptly thereafter deliver to the Pledgee a certificate executed by an authorized officer of the Pledgor describing such Collateral and certifying that the same has been duly pledged in favor of the Pledgee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) hereunder.

4. APPOINTMENT OF SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY. The Pledgee shall have the right to appoint a Securities Intermediary (if applicable) for the purpose of retaining physical possession of the Collateral.

 

5. VOTING, ETC., WHILE NO EVENT OF DEFAULT. Unless and until there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under the Investment Agreements, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral owned by it, and to give consents, waivers or ratifications in respect thereof; provided that, in each case, no vote shall be cast or any consent, waiver or ratification given or any action taken or omitted to be taken which would violate, result in a breach of any covenant contained in, or be inconsistent with any of the terms of any Secured Debt Agreement, or which could reasonably be expected to have the effect of impairing the security interest of the Pledgee in the Collateral, unless expressly permitted by the terms of any Secured Debt Agreements. All such rights of the Pledgor to vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications shall, upon written notice from the Pledgee to the Pledgor in accordance with Section 8 hereof, cease in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and Section 8 hereof shall become applicable.

 

6. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS.

All dividends, distributions or other payments which are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6 or Section 8 hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

 

7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

(a) The Pledgor shall not amend or waive any of its rights under the Registration Rights Agreement without the prior written consent of the Pledgee. The Pledgor will not take any action to impair the rights of the Pledgee in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Pledgor shall remain liable under the Registration Rights Agreement to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder for so long as it is a party thereto, all in accordance with and pursuant to its terms and provisions. Neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the Registration Rights Agreement by reason of or arising out of the security interest granted under this Agreement, nor shall the security interest granted under this Agreement in and of itself result in the Pledgee or any other Secured Party being obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Pledgor under or pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under the Registration Rights Agreement, 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 them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.

 

8. REMEDIES IN CASE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, then and in every such case, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party on default (whether vested in it by this Agreement or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction and also shall be entitled, without limitation, to exercise the following rights:

 

(i) to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral otherwise payable under Section 6 hereof to the Pledgor;

 

(ii) subject to five (5) days prior notice from the Pledgee to the Pledgor, to transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the Pledgee’s name or the name of its nominee or nominees (or the Securities Intermediary’s nominee or nominees, if applicable);

 

9


 

(iii) subject to five (5) days prior notice from the Pledgee to the Pledgor (unless the manner of the vote precludes otherwise, or the requirement to provide such notice would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), to vote (and exercise all rights and powers in respect of voting) all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (the Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so);

 

(iv) at any time and from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, at any public or private sale, without demand of performance, advertisement or, notice of intention to sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or otherwise purchase or dispose (all of which are hereby waived by the Pledgor), for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its absolute discretion may determine, provided at least ten (10) days written notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to the Pledgor. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any such sale of Collateral regardless of whether any such notice of sale has theretofore been given. The Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security or the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. The Pledgee shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall any of them be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto;

 

(v) to set off any and all Collateral against any and all Obligations, and to withdraw any and all cash or other Collateral from any and all accounts established and maintained by the Pledgee in the name of the Pledgor to which the Collateral may be credited, and to apply such cash and other Collateral to the payment of any and all Obligations;

 

(vi) exercise the RRA Rights; and

 

(vii) instruct all banks or security intermediaries which have entered into a control agreement with the Pledgee to transfer all monies, securities and instruments held by such depositary bank or security intermediaries to the Designated Securities Account or such other account designated by the Pledgee.

9. REMEDIES, CUMULATIVE, ETC. Each and every right, power and remedy of the Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured Debt Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Pledgee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on the Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances (unless such notice is otherwise required herein) or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Pledgee to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

 

10. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All monies collected by the Pledgee upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with all other monies received by the Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied in the manner provided in the Invesment Agreements (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement).

 

11. PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. (a) Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Pledgee hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Pledgee or the officer making such 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 Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

 

(b) It is understood and agreed that the Pledgor shall not be liable for any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the amount of the Obligations.

 

12. INDEMNITY.

In no event shall the Pledgee hereunder be liable, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), for

 

11


 

any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to account for monies or other property actually received by it in accordance with the terms hereof. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Pledgor under this Section 12 are unenforceable for any reason, the Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The indemnity obligations of the Pledgor contained in this Section 12 shall continue in full force and effect.

 

13. FURTHER ASSURANCES; POWER-OF-ATTORNEY. (a) The Pledgor agrees that it will join with the Pledgee in, at the Pledgor’s own expense, filing and refiling under the UCC or other applicable law such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents, in form reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee, in such offices as the Pledgee may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate and wherever required or permitted by law in order to perfect and preserve the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral hereunder and hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file financing statements and amendments thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral (including, without limitation, financing statements which list the Collateral specifically as collateral) without the signature of the Pledgor where permitted by law, and agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Pledgee such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Pledgee may reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Pledgee its rights, powers and remedies hereunder or thereunder.

 

(b) The Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints the Pledgee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the Pledgee’s discretion, to act, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies due or to become due to the Pledgor under or arising out of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings and to execute any instrument which the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an interest.

The obligations of the Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (other than termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 19. hereof), including, without limitation:

 

(i) any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of, or addition or supplement to or deletion from any Secured Debt Agreement (other than this Agreement in accordance with its terms), or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof;

 

(ii) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such agreement or instrument including, without limitation, this Agreement (other than a waiver, consent or extension with respect to this Agreement in accordance with its terms);

 

(iii) any furnishing of any additional security to the Pledgee or its assignee or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Pledgee or its assignee;

 

(iv) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligations under any such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof; or

18. SALE OF COLLATERAL WITHOUT REGISTRATION. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Pledgor shall have received from the Pledgee a written request or requests that the Pledgor cause any registration, qualification or compliance under any federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Collateral consisting of Securities, the Pledgor as soon as practicable and at its expense will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Collateral consisting of Securities, including, without limitation, registration under the Securities Act, as then in effect (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with any other governmental requirements; provided, that the Pledgee shall furnish to the Pledgor such information regarding the Pledgee as the Pledgor may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. The Pledgor will cause the Pledgee to be kept reasonably advised in writing as to

 

15


 

the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish to the Pledgee such number of prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident thereto as the Pledgee from time to time may reasonably request, and will indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Pledgee participating in the distribution of such Collateral consisting of Securities against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Pledgor by the Pledgee expressly for use therein.

 

(b) If at any time when the Pledgee shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Collateral consisting of Securities pursuant to Section 8 hereof, and such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act, as then in effect, the Pledgee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without such registration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion (i) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under such Securities Act, (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In the event of any such sale, the Pledgee shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price which the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until the registration as aforesaid.

 

(c) The obligations of the Pledgor hereunder are without prejudice to the RRA Rights and the Pledgee’s rights thereto and security interest therein.

 

19. TERMINATION; RELEASE.

16


 

Uncertificated Security credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation or Securities Intermediary), a termination of the agreement relating thereto executed and delivered by the issuer of such Uncertificated Security pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii).
