10


agreement providing for control by the Administrative Agent of all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts of such Grantor, in each case to the extent required to comply with subsection 6.10 of the Credit Agreement.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (x) upon written notice from the Administrative Agent to any Grantor, all rights of such Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, (y) except as otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement, all rights of such Grantor to receive the dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments, and (z) all dividends, principal, interest payments and other distributions which are received by such Grantor contrary to the provisions of clause (y) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

(b) Each Grantor shall have the duty to diligently prosecute, file and/or make, unless and until such Grantor, in its commercially reasonable judgment, decides otherwise, (i) any application for registration relating to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral owned by such Grantor and set forth on Schedules 8, 9 or 10 annexed hereto, as applicable, that is pending as of the date of this Agreement, (ii) any application on any future patentable but unpatented innovation or invention comprising Intellectual Property Collateral (except for inventions of nominal commercial value or with respect to which such Grantor has determined in the exercise of its commercially reasonable judgment that it shall not seek a Patent on), and (iii) any Trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings, renew Trademark Registrations and Copyright Registrations and do any and all other acts which are necessary or desirable in Grantor’s reasonable commercial judgment to preserve and maintain all rights in all Intellectual Property Collateral that is material to such Grantor’s business. Any expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be borne solely by Grantors. Subject to the foregoing, each Grantor shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice of any abandonment of any Intellectual Property Collateral that is material to such Grantor’s business.

(c) Except as provided herein, each Grantor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as real party in interest, for its own benefit and at its own expense, such suits, proceedings or other actions for infringement, unfair competition, dilution, misappropriation or other violation, or reexamination or reissue proceedings as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Grantor shall promptly, following its becoming aware thereof, notify the Administrative Agent of the institution of, or of any adverse determination in, any proceeding (whether in an IP Filing Office or any federal, state, local or foreign court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership, right to use, or interest in any material Intellectual Property Collateral (other than routine “office actions” in connection with the prosecution of applications). Each Grantor shall provide to the Administrative Agent any information with respect thereto requested by the Administrative Agent.

(d) In addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the granting of a security interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, each Grantor, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent the nonexclusive right and license to use all Intellectual Property Collateral owned (except to the extent Grantor has granted a third party an exclusive right or license as permitted by the Credit Agreement prior

 

12


to any Event of Default) or, to the extent that Grantor is lawfully able to grant such license, used by such Grantor, all to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to realize on the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of the Collateral to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral, such license, with respect to the Trademarks, being subject to the user’s agreement to maintain standards of quality in connection with the goods and services sold under such Trademarks sufficient to maintain the validity of such Trademarks and such Grantor’s right to monitor compliance with such standards. This right shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of the Administrative Agent and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license shall be granted free of charge, but subject to the payment of third party royalties, if any, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to such Grantor.

 

SECTION 11. Collateral Account.

(a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain as a blocked account under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, a restricted Deposit Account designated as “Hexcel Corporation Collateral Account”. All amounts at any time held in the Collateral Account shall be beneficially owned by Grantors but shall be held in the name of the Administrative Agent hereunder, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Grantors shall have no right to withdraw, transfer or, except as expressly set forth herein or in the Credit Agreement, otherwise receive any funds deposited into the Collateral Account. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Account shall be subject to such applicable laws, and such applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of any other appropriate banking or Government Authority, as may now or hereafter be in effect. All deposits of funds in the Collateral Account shall be made by wire transfer (or, if applicable, by intra-bank transfer from another account of a Grantor) of immediately available funds, in each case addressed in accordance with instructions of the Administrative Agent. Each Grantor shall, promptly after initiating a transfer of funds to the Collateral Account, give notice to the Administrative Agent by telefacsimile of the date, amount and method of delivery of such deposit. Cash held by the Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account shall not be invested by the Administrative Agent but instead shall be maintained as a cash deposit in the Collateral Account pending application thereof as elsewhere provided in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement. To the extent permitted under Regulation Q of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, any cash held in the Collateral Account shall bear interest at the standard rate paid by the Administrative Agent to its customers for deposits of like amounts and terms. Subject to the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder, any interest earned on deposits of cash in the Collateral Account shall be deposited directly in, and held in, the Collateral Account.

(b) In the event that either Borrower is required to cash collateralize any Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, in which case the provisions of Section 15(c) of this Agreement shall apply, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, such cash collateral shall be retained by the Administrative Agent until such time as such Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit shall have expired or been surrendered and any drawings under such Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit

 

13


paid in full, whether by reason of application of funds in the Collateral Account or otherwise. The Administrative Agent is authorized to apply any amount in the Collateral Account to pay any drawing on a Letter of Credit. Subject to the provisions of Section 15(c) of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, if any such cash collateral is no longer required to be retained in the Collateral Account, it shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers or at Company’s direction.

 

SECTION 12. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.

Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact (such appointment being coupled with an interest), with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement;

(b) to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(c) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents, Chattel Paper and other documents in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above;

(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce or protect the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;

(e) to pay or discharge Taxes or Liens (other than Taxes not required to be discharged pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Liens permitted under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, including, in each case, pursuant to subsection 6.3A of the Credit Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Administrative Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, due and payable immediately without demand;

(f) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; and

(g) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s

 

14


option and Grantors’ expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

 

SECTION 13. Administrative Agent May Perform.

If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein and such failure is not remedied to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent within 15 days after being notified thereof, the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantors under Section 18(b).

 

SECTION 14. Standard of Care.

The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property.

 

SECTION 15. Remedies.

(a) Generally. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, subject to Section 20 hereof, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Administrative Agent deems appropriate, (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, take possession of any Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of such Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, (v) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent

 

15


may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise dominion and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any Deposit Account maintained with the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party and provide instructions directing the disposition of funds in Deposit Accounts not maintained with the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party and (vii) provide entitlement orders with respect to Security Entitlements and other Investment Property constituting a part of the Collateral and, without notice to any Grantor, transfer to or register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Securities Collateral. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any other Secured Party in its individual capacity unless Requisite Obligees shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 15 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent, that the Administrative Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 15 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that (i) no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities, or (ii) that the Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations) have been paid in full.

(b) Securities Collateral. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Securities Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Securities Collateral for their own account, for

 

16


investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private placement may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a sale without such restrictions (including an offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private placement shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to be commercially unreasonable and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Securities Collateral to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to the Administrative Agent all such information as the Administrative Agent may request in order to determine the amount of Securities Collateral which may be sold by the Administrative Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(c) Collateral Account. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account, except for funds then on deposit or thereafter deposited in the Collateral Account for the purposes described in the next sentence, shall be held by the Administrative Agent and applied as Obligations become due or, if applicable, pursuant to subsection 2.4D of the Credit Agreement. If, in accordance with Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers are required to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount (the “Aggregate Available Amount”) equal to the maximum amount that may at any time be drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers shall deliver funds in such an amount for deposit in the Collateral Account. With respect to any such funds on deposit in the Collateral Account, (i) upon any drawing under any outstanding Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall apply any amount in the Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of such drawing and (ii) in the event of cancellation or expiration of any Letter of Credit, or in the event of any reduction in the maximum available amount under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall apply the amount then on deposit in the Collateral Account in excess of the Aggregate Available Amount (calculated giving effect to such cancellation, expiration or reduction) as provided in Section 17.

 

SECTION 16. Additional Remedies for Intellectual Property Collateral.

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name of any Grantor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, to enforce any Intellectual Property Collateral, in which event each Grantor shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Administrative Agent in aid of such enforcement and each Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent as provided in subsections 10.2 and 10.3 of the Credit Agreement and Section 18 hereof, as applicable, in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 16, and, to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property Collateral as provided in this Section 16, each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable measures,

 

17


whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to use its commercially reasonable judgment in commencing or maintaining any action, suit or proceeding or other action against any Person so infringing reasonably necessary to prevent such infringement; (ii) upon written demand from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; and (iii) within five Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Administrative Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Administrative Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the Administrative Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default.

(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment to the Administrative Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property Collateral shall have been previously made, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor such assignments as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Administrative Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Administrative Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect.

 

SECTION 17. Application of Proceeds.

Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as provided in subsection 2.4D of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 18. Indemnity and Expenses.

(a) Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result from the Administrative Agent’s or such Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with subsection 10.3 of the Credit Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis.

 

18


(b) Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses incurred hereunder in accordance with subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) The obligations of Grantors in this Section 18 shall (i) survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Grantors’ other obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii), as to any Grantor that is a party to a Subsidiary Guaranty, be subject to the provisions of Section 1(b) thereof.

 

SECTION 19. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans; Termination and Release.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Section 9 thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent). All references to the Secured Parties shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee.

(b) Subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 2 hereof, this Agreement, each Grantor’s obligations hereunder (excluding such Grantor’s obligations relating to Unasserted Obligations that expressly survive such termination) and the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall immediately and automatically terminate on the Facility Termination Date and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor, in each case, without any further action by the Administrative Agent or any other Person.

(c) While the Credit Agreement is in effect, upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the pledge and security interest granted hereby in such Collateral shall immediately and automatically terminate, and all rights to such Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor, in each case without any further action by the Administrative Agent or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Secured Party).

(d) While the Credit Agreement is in effect, if (A) all or a majority of the stock of a Grantor or any of its successors in interest under this Agreement shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (B) a Grantor shall liquidate or dissolve in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, then, in each case, the obligations of such Grantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by the Administrative Agent or any other Person (including any other Secured Party) effective as of the time of such sale, merger, liquidation or dissolution.

(e) Upon any termination of this Agreement or the security interest with respect to any Collateral hereunder or any discharge and release of a Grantor’s obligations hereunder, in each case as described in subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 19, the Administrative Agent will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents and take such other actions as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, discharge or release.

SECTION 20. Administrative Agent as Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent has been appointed to act as the Administrative Agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the Cash Management Banks and Hedge Counterparties. The Administrative Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 15 hereof in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Obligees. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 20(a), each Cash Management Bank and each Hedge Counterparty, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Cash Management Bank or Hedge Counterparty that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 20(a).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(c) No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder (including the release, impairment or modification of any Secured Obligations or security therefor) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of

 

20


this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations arising under any Related Credit Arrangement to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Counterparty, as the case may be. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement that obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Section 9 of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 21. Additional Grantors.

The initial Grantors hereunder shall be Company and such of the Subsidiaries of Company as are signatories hereto on the date hereof. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Company may become Additional Grantors, by executing a Counterpart. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart to the Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each such Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Administrative Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

 

SECTION 22. Amendments; Etc.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Grantors; provided this Agreement may be modified by the execution of a Counterpart by an Additional Grantor in accordance with Section 21 hereof and Grantors hereby waive any requirement of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

 

SECTION 23. Notices.

Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of telefacsimile in complete and legible form, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until received.

SECTION 24. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

SECTION 25. Severability.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
