Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

On December 21, 2011, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings and Ronald O. Perelman (“Mr. Perelman”), Mr. Perelman transferred 133,334 shares of Common Stock to MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings. Immediately thereafter, MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings contributed such 133,334 shares of Common Stock to Parent, pursuant to a contribution agreement, dated as of December 21, 2011 (the “Parent Contribution Agreement”).

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement and the Parent Contribution Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the respective agreements, which are attached as Exhibit 38 and 39, respectively, hereto and incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 2.

Parent is a Delaware corporation with principal offices located at 35 East 62nd Street, New York, NY 10065 (telephone: 212-572-8600). Parent is a wholly owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings and was formed for the purpose of holding shares of common stock of Merger Sub and engaging in transactions related thereto.

The directors and executive officers of Parent are Barry F. Schwartz and Paul G. Savas. Each of Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Savas is a United States citizen. During the last five years, neither Parent nor its directors or executive officers has (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding minor traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.

The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2011, which is attached as Exhibit 40 hereto, pursuant to which they have agreed to file this Schedule 13D in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Act.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On December 21, 2011, the Contribution Agreement, dated September 12, 2011 (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among Holdings One, Holdings Two, Merger Sub and Mr. Perelman, was amended (“Amendment No. 1”) to permit the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Parent Contribution Agreement, and to provide that Parent, in lieu of Mr. Perelman, would contribute 133,334 shares of Common Stock to Merger Sub. On the same date and in connection with the Merger, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Holdings One, Holdings Two and Parent (the “Contributing Stockholders”), immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, contributed to Merger Sub 7,248,000, 1,012,666 and 133,334 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in exchange for shares of capital stock of Merger Sub.

On December 21, 2011, in connection with the consummation of the Merger (as defined below), Parent entered into a $250 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Facility”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Deutsche Bank”). Approximately $198 million of the proceeds of the Facility were contributed to Merger Sub, in exchange for shares of its capital stock, which used such proceeds to fund a portion of the aggregate merger consideration.

In connection with the Facility, Holdings One and Holdings Two entered into a Third Party Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2011 (the “Pledge Agreement”) and Parent entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of December 21, 2011 (the “Parent Pledge Agreement”), pursuant to which the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock (defined below) held by such Contributing Stockholders were pledged to Deutsche Bank.

The foregoing summary of the Facility, Contribution Agreement, Amendment No. 1, the Pledge Agreement and the Parent Pledge Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Facility, the Contribution Agreement, Amendment No. 1, the Pledge Agreement and the Parent Pledge Agreement, which are attached as Exhibits 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 3.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

The information contained in Item 2 and Item 3 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

On December 21, 2011, at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s stockholders voted to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 12, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and, solely with respect to the sections specified therein, MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings. On the same date, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, (i) each share of Common Stock (other than Common Stock held by Merger Sub, the Company and holders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights (collectively, “Excluded Shares”)) was cancelled and was converted into the right to receive $25.00, in cash, without interest, (ii) each Excluded Share was cancelled and (iii) each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share of Merger Sub, was cancelled and converted into one share of common stock, par value $.01 of the surviving corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”).

As a result of the Merger, the Company (as the surviving corporation), became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings. On December 21, 2011, the Company notified the NYSE of the completion of the Merger and requested that trading in Common Stock be suspended and that the NYSE file with

the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 25, thereby commencing the process of delisting and deregistering the Common Stock. The Company intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act as soon as practicable.

On December 21, 2011, the Company announced the consummation of the above described transaction in a press release, which is attached as Exhibit 46 hereto.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

The information contained in Item 4 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

The Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Common Stock following the consummation of the Merger as all such shares were cancelled in connection therewith. Parent beneficially owns 3,949 shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock, representing 49.36% of the outstanding shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock. Holdings One beneficially owns 3,554 shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock, representing 44.43% of the outstanding shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock. Holdings Two beneficially owns 497 shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock, representing 6.21% of the outstanding shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock. MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 8,000 shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock, representing 100% of the outstanding Surviving Corporation Common Stock, which includes the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock owned by Parent, Holdings One and Holdings Two, that MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of by virtue of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings’ ownership of 100% of the common interests of each of Parent, Holdings One and Holdings Two.

Ronald O. Perelman, Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, and Chairman of the Company, may be deemed to beneficially own all the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock beneficially owned by MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Parent, Holdings One and Holdings Two.

Pursuant to the Merger, the outstanding Common Stock previously held by Barry F. Schwartz, the Executive Vice Chairman of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Executive Vice Chairman of Parent, Holdings One and Holdings Two, were cancelled and converted into the right to receive $25.00, in cash, without interest.

WHEREAS, immediately following the Sale, Holdings will contribute (the “Contribution”) the Purchased Shares to MX Holdings One, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Mr. Perelman hereby sells to Holdings, and Holdings hereby purchases, the Purchased Shares, in satisfaction of a portion of the Outstanding Indebtedness in an amount equal to: (a) the number of such Purchased Shares multiplied by (b) $25.00.

If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

9. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person not a party to this Agreement any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

10. Each of the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof and that each party shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

With regard to the repayment of the Loan, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by Lender.

(iii) In the event that Borrower and/or Pledgors have delivered additional collateral hereunder, the Lender, in its discretion, shall establish percentages of Market Value for Margin Calls hereunder.

(iv) In addition to the foregoing, in the event that at any time Borrower and Pledgors recapitalize M&F Worldwide (as permitted in Section 5.5(a) hereof), the proceeds thereof, received by Borrower and Pledgors shall be used to repay the Obligations hereunder in full.

(d) Interest Rate Not Ascertainable, etc. In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower) that on any date for determining LIBOR, by reason of changes affecting the London interbank market or Lender’s position therein, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then in such event, Lender shall give telephonic notice to Borrower of such determination. Until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, Lender shall not be required maintain a LIBOR Advance.

A certificate as to the amount required to compensate Lender, submitted to Borrower by Lender, shall, except for manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. The provisions of this Section 2.9(f) shall survive repayment of the Loan and cancellation of this Agreement.

(g) Loss Compensation.

In addition, in the event of any such repayment or failure to convert Borrower shall also compensate Lender for the loss of any profits Lender would have received had any such LIBOR Advance not been repaid or if such conversion had occurred. The provisions of this Section 2.9(g) shall survive repayment of the Loan and the cancellation of this Agreement.

Section 2.10. Lending Office. Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any LIBOR Advance; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Prime Rate Advance and (c) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to Borrower.

Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of the Loan in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.5 hereof, but for the purposes of this Agreement Lender shall, regardless of Lender’s actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded the Loan in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by Borrower for such Interest Period.

Section 7.2. Remedies Upon an Event of Default.

(a) General. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender may: (a) declare the principal of, and all interest then accrued on, the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind all of which Borrower hereby expressly waive anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; (b) exercise any right, privilege, or power set forth herein and in any Loan Document; or (c) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any Legal Requirement or agreement; provided, however, that if any Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(f) hereof shall occur, the principal of, and all interest on, the Obligations shall thereupon become due and payable concurrently therewith, without any further action by Lender, and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives.

 

34


(b) Lender; Cumulative Rights. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against any Obligor under any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, any of them, as the case may be, or at law or in equity, may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Loan shall be declared due and payable. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein, or by statutes or in the other Loan Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that no right or remedy hereunder is exclusive of any other right or remedy or remedies, and that each and every such right or remedy shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder under the Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, all rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies and all Obligations hereunder have been paid in full.

(c) Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may accelerate maturity of the Loan and any other Obligations, and demand payment of the principal sum due hereunder, with interest, advances, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including those for appellate proceedings), and enforce collection of such payment by appropriate action.

(d) Crediting of Monies Recovered. Any amounts recovered from Borrower or any other Person after an Event of Default shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Obligations and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

(e) No Duty to Mitigate Damages. Other than in respect of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be required to do any act whatsoever or exercise any diligence whatsoever to mitigate any damages if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing hereunder.

Section 7.3. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement, warranty, representation or covenant contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document applicable to it shall be breached by Borrower and thereafter waived by Lender, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. The failure or delay of Lender to require performance by any Obligor of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not affect its right to require performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

35


SECTION 8

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1. Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower on the other hand.

Section 8.2. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by law or equity, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender and any assignee of Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower or any other Obligor, any such notice being waived by Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Obligor) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, Lender or such assignee to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the Obligations owing to Lender or such assignee, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not Lender or such assignee shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Lender and any such assignee agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such setoff and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 8.3. Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Security Documents, Lender (pursuant to the terms hereof) and Borrower may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or the rights of Lender or Borrower hereunder, or may grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. Borrower’s execution of any such agreements amending or changing any provisions of this Agreement or the rights of Lender of Borrower hereunder shall be binding against Guarantor under the Guaranty.

Section 8.4. Payment of Expenses. Borrower agrees: (i) to pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, all reasonable Attorney Costs; and (ii) to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of

 

36


any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including, without limitation, all reasonable Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by Lender, in each case at such times as are reasonable. All amounts due under this Section 8.4 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the repayment of all the other Obligations.

Section 8.5. Indemnification by Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless Lender and its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (i) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against any Obligor, any Affiliate of any Obligor or any of their respective officers or directors; (ii) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, any predecessor loan documents, the Loan, the use or contemplated use of the proceeds of the Loan, or the relationship of Borrower and Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (i) or (ii) above; and (iv) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable Attorney Costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, whether or not arising out of the negligence of an Indemnitee, and whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim found by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from its own (or its related parties’) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted solely against it by another Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 8.5 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the repayment of all the other Obligations.

Section 8.6. Notice. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing (except where telephonic instructions or notices are expressly authorized herein to be given) and shall be deemed to be effective: (a) if by hand delivery, telecopy or other facsimile transmission, on the day and at the time on which delivered to such party at the address or fax numbers specified below, and if such day is not a Business Day, delivery shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day; (b) if by mail, on the day which it is received after being

Section 8.8. Waiver of Trial by Jury; No Marshaling of Assets. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 8.10. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein. If any provision of this Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

Section 8.11. Entirety. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 8.12. Successors and Assigns.

(a) In General; Borrower Assignment, etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender and Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 8.12. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignment; Participations. Lender may assign (i) with the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which consent is not required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, to one or more banks or other entities, or (ii) without the consent of Borrower (except as provided in the last sentence hereof), to any of Lender’s Affiliates or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. In the event of an assignment of all of its rights, Lender may transfer the Note to the assignee. In the event of an assignment of a portion of its rights under the Note, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a new note(s) to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the principal amount assigned to the assignee and a new note(s) to the order of Lender in an amount equal to the principal amount retained by Lender (collectively, the “New Notes”). Such New Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Note, shall be dated the effective date of the assignment and otherwise shall be substantially identical to the Note. Upon receipt of the New Notes from Lender, Borrower shall execute such New Notes and, at the reasonable expense of Borrower, promptly deliver such New Notes to Lender. Upon receipt of the executed New Notes from

 

40


Borrower, Lender shall return the Note(s) to Borrower. Lender and the assignee shall make all appropriate adjustments in payments under this Agreement and the Note for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. In the event of an assignment of all or any portion of its rights hereunder, Lender may transfer and deliver all or any of the property then held by it as security for Borrower’s Obligations hereunder to the assignee and the assignee shall thereupon become vested with all the powers and rights herein given to Lender with respect thereto. After any such assignment or transfer, Lender shall be forever relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility in the matter with respect to the property transferred, and Lender shall retain all rights and powers hereby given with respect to property not so transferred. Lender may sell participations (A) with the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to one or more banks or other entities, or (B) without the consent of Borrower (except as provided in the last sentence hereof), to any of Lender’s Affiliates or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in or to all or a portion of its rights under the Note; provided, however, that in such case Lender shall remain the holder of this Agreement and the Note and accordingly Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or proposed participation, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or proposed participant any Information relating to Borrower furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower, provided, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or proposed participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information related to Borrower received by it from Lender as provided in the Confidentiality Agreement. Borrower agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.9(f), 2.9(g) and 8.2 (subject to the requirements and obligations of those sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.12; provided that a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15, 2.9(f) or 2.9(g) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(c) Registers. Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender(s), and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and Lender(s) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 8.13. Maximum Interest, No Usury. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Obligations any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that Lender

 

41


ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, Lender shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate.

Section 8.14. Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 8.15. No Lender Pledge. Lender agrees that Lender shall not (a) pledge, charge or otherwise create a security interest in the Pledged Collateral for any credit, loans or advances of Lender or (b) sell or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral except in accordance with the Security Agreement.

Section 8.16. Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Obligors, which information includes the name and address of Obligors and other information that will allow Lender to identify Obligors in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 8.17. Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.

Section 8.18. Credit Verification Reports. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the right to obtain, and will obtain, credit reports regarding each Obligor, from various credit agencies (the “Credit Reports”), in connection with its due diligence (i) in entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and accepting the Guaranty, and (ii) on an on-going basis during the term hereof. Borrower authorizes and permits Lender to undertake, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, such due diligence and obtain any such Credit Reports. Such Credit Reports shall be obtained at Lender’s expense, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event any such expenses shall be for the account of each Obligor and shall be payable to Lender upon demand by Lender.

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

2. The unpaid principal amount of this promissory note (as same may be amended, supplemented, renewed, extended, replaced, or restated from time to time, this “Note”) shall be payable in accordance with the terms of Sections 2.8, 2.9 and 8.13 of the Credit Agreement.

All Advances hereunder, and all payments made with respect thereto, may be recorded by Lender from time to time on grid(s) which may be attached hereto, or Lender may record such information by such other method as Lender may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way reduce or diminish Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The aggregate unpaid amount of all Advances set forth on grid(s) which may be attached hereto shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the unpaid principal amount of this Note.

 

5. This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Term Loan Agreement (as same may be amended, supplemented, renewed, extended, replaced, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of December 21, 2011, by and between Lender and Borrower, and is one of the “Notes” referred to therein.

If this Note, or any installment or payment due hereunder, is not paid when due, whether at maturity or by acceleration, or if it is collected through a bankruptcy, probate or other court, whether before or after maturity, Borrower agrees to pay all out-of-pocket costs of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the holder hereof and costs of appeal, in each case, solely as provided in the Credit Agreement. All past-due principal of, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, past-due interest on, this Note shall bear interest until paid at the Default Rate as provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

7. Borrower and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors and other parties ever liable for payment of any sums payable pursuant to the terms of this Note, jointly and severally waive demand, presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, diligence in collection, the bringing of any suit against any party, and any notice of or defense on account of any extensions, renewals, partial payment, or any releases or substitutions of any security, or any delay, indulgence, or other act of any trustee or any holder hereof, whether before or after maturity.

 

8. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Sections 8.8 and 8.9 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Perelman agreed to subscribe for shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Merger Sub for aggregate consideration consisting of 133,334 shares of MFW common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Perelman Contributed Shares”);

WHEREAS, it is contemplated that prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, through one or more transactions the Perelman Contributed Shares will be transferred to Parent, an entity of which Mr. Perelman beneficially owns 100% of the capital stock (the “Transfer”); and

WHEREAS, the parties are entering into this Amendment to consent to the Transfer, and to provide that effective upon the Transfer all rights and obligations of Mr. Perelman pursuant to the Agreement shall inure to Parent and all rights and obligations of Mr. Perelman pursuant to the Agreement shall terminate and be released in full.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. The parties hereby consent to the Transfer. Effective upon the Transfer all rights and obligations of Mr. Perelman pursuant to the Agreement shall inure to Parent and all rights and obligations of Mr. Perelman pursuant to the Agreement shall terminate and be released in full.

2. The amendments to the Agreement contemplated by this Amendment are limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to be an amendment to any other terms or conditions of the Agreement. The Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as amended by this Amendment in accordance with its terms. References to the “Agreement” shall be deemed to be references to the Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

3. Each of the parties hereto shall execute such documents and other instruments and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof.

4. No amendment of any provision of this Amendment shall be valid unless such amendment is in writing and signed by the parties hereto. No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

5. This Amendment may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the foregoing sentence, all of the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

10.

THIRD PARTY PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS THIRD PARTY PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of December 21, 2011 (this “Security Agreement”) is entered into by MFW HOLDINGS ONE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MFW One”) and MFW HOLDINGS TWO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MFW Two”, and together with MFW One, “undersigned” or “Pledgors”) in favor of DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as lender (“Lender”).

In consideration of loans, advances, overdrafts, letters of credit, acceptances, swaps, securities transactions, forward contracts, foreign currency transactions and all other credit transactions and financial accommodations given or to be given or to be continued from time to time to MX Holdings One, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) by Lender, pursuant to that certain Term Loan Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Borrower and the Lender, and in order to induce Lender, to make such loans or otherwise to give, grant or extend credit at any time(s) to the Borrower, the Pledgors, hereby agree with Lender as follows:

1. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall be as defined in the Credit Agreement.

2. As collateral security for the punctual payment and performance of all present and future liabilities and obligations, direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, secured or unsecured, joint or several of Borrower to Lender when due, whether at stated maturity, on demand, by acceleration or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter incurred, whether now or hereafter due, whether for principal, interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, whether or not allowed or allowable thereunder), fees, costs, attorneys’ fees, court costs, taxes, damages, expenses, indemnities, or otherwise, and howsoever evidenced in connection with the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents (as defined therein) (collectively, the “Obligations”), each Pledgor hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Lender a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon all right, title and interest of such Pledgor in and to (i) the securities accounts which may be created from time to time at Lender or an affiliate of Lender (the “Collateral Accounts”), (ii) all securities, shares, certificates and other equity interests, investment property, security entitlements of such Pledgor from time to time deposited in or credited to its respective Collateral Account, (iii) in addition to, and not in derogation of clause (i) or clause (ii) above, all shares of common stock of M&F Worldwide Corp., a Delaware corporation owned by such Pledgor (“M&F Worldwide”); including without limitation, the shares described on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Pledged Shares”), (iv) all cash, securities, shares, certificates, notes, instruments, promissory notes, payment intangibles, general intangibles, accounts, letter of credit rights and all other property and financial assets now or hereafter received or receivable in connection with any sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of any of the foregoing, (v) all dividends, interest and other distributions, whether in cash, securities, promissory notes, payment intangibles, general intangibles, accounts or other property on or in respect of any of the foregoing and (vi) all proceeds and profits of any of the foregoing (including proceeds of proceeds, proceeds of insurance policies and claims against third parties), in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”).

3. Each Pledgor represents and warrants to Lender with regard to itself and its respective Pledged Collateral that:

(a) The information regarding such Pledgor set forth opposite such Pledgor’s signature below (“Pledgor Information”) is true, correct and complete on the date hereof.

(b) Such Pledgor has, and will continue to maintain, with respect to its properties and business, including its Pledged Collateral, insurance covering risks, in amounts, with deductibles or other retention amounts, and with carriers, as are consistent with customary practices and standards of such Pledgor’s industry and the failure of which to maintain could have a Material Adverse Effect as of the Closing Date.


(c) The Pledged Collateral, including the Pledged Shares, is owned of record and beneficially by such Pledgor, and except for the security interest granted to Lender hereunder and as otherwise set forth on Schedule B hereto, is free and clear of all Liens and no financing statement (other than any which may be filed on behalf of Lender in connection herewith) covering any of such Pledgor’s interests in the Pledged Collateral is or shall be on file in any public office, and all Pledged Collateral has been validly pledged hereunder. Upon the execution and delivery by such Pledgor of this Security Agreement and the delivery of the certificates and uncertificated shares identified on Schedule A to Lender, Lender shall have a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral. All information with respect to the Pledged Collateral set forth in any schedule, certificate or other writing at any time heretofore or hereafter furnished by such Pledgor or on behalf of such Pledgor to Lender, and all other written information heretofore or hereafter furnished by such Pledgor or on behalf of such Pledgor to Lender, is and will be true and correct in all material respects.

(d) There are no filings or recordations against the Pledged Collateral which grant or purport to grant a Lien in any Pledged Collateral to any other person.

(e) All Pledged Collateral which consists of equity interests has been validly acquired and validly issued, and is fully paid and non-assessable and no Pledged Collateral is evidenced or represented by any certificate, note or chattel paper other than such as has been delivered to Lender together with appropriate stock powers or other instruments of transfer therefore.

(f) Such Pledgor will cooperate fully with the Lender with respect to any sale by the Lender of any of its Pledged Shares upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(k) Such Pledgor agrees not to vote in favor of (i) any amendment to the articles of incorporation or charter of any issuer of its Pledged Shares or any shareholders agreement or similar agreement that may materially adversely affect the value of its Pledged Shares or (ii) the merger or consolidation of M&F Worldwide with or into any corporation or other person, without the prior written consent of the Lender. Nothing in this Section shall restrict such Pledgor’s ability to exercise in good faith such Pledgor’s fiduciary or other similar legal obligations as an officer or director of any issuer of its Pledged Shares; provided, that, unless restricted by law or agreement, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Lender of any vote made by such Pledgor in the exercise of such obligation which is in contravention of this Section.

4. Each Pledgor covenants and agrees with Lender that: (a) Lender’s sole duty with respect to the Pledged Collateral is to use such care as it uses for similar property for its own account, and Lender shall not be obligated to preserve rights in the Pledged Collateral against prior parties, (b) such Pledgor will (i) be solely responsible for all matters relating to its Pledged Collateral, including ascertaining maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges and tenders, (ii) not, and will not purport to, grant or suffer Liens, other than Permitted Liens, against, or sell, transfer or dispose of any Pledged Collateral, (iii) from time to time take all actions (including entering into any control agreement requested by Lender and otherwise cooperate with Lender in maintaining control with respect to that Pledged Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by control pursuant to the UCC, as herein below defined or other applicable law) and make all filings, registrations and recordations requested by Lender in connection with Lender’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral, (iv) promptly notify Lender of the occurrence of any default hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Obligations, and (v) hold in trust for, and forthwith pay over to, Lender in the form received (except for any necessary endorsements) all property, proceeds or distributions received by Pledgor on account of any Pledged Collateral, (c) at any time and from time to time during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to Lender’s name or that of its nominee, and exercise all rights as if the absolute owner thereof, and file a proof of claim for, receive payments or distributions on, and exchange or release Pledged Collateral in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, (d) Lender is authorized to file financing statements and/or a copy of this Security Agreement and give notice to third parties regarding the Pledged Collateral without such Pledgor’s signature to the extent permitted by applicable law, (e) such Pledgor will not change any of the Pledgor Information without giving ten (10) days prior written notice thereof to Lender, and (f) Lender may rely upon any written (including fax), telephonic or oral communication in good faith

 

2


believed by Lender to have been authorized by such Pledgor; provided, however, that if any such communication is oral or telephonic, it shall be promptly confirmed in writing (including by fax) (but the lack of such confirmation or any conflict between such confirmation and the relevant telephonic or oral communications shall not affect any action taken by Lender in reliance on such telephonic or oral communications prior to receipt of such confirmation).

5. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect (the “UCC”) or other applicable law, and may, in addition to any other right or remedy available to Lender hereunder or under applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to or consent by either Pledgor (except as required by Section 8 below), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 below, sell, liquidate or redeem so much of the Pledged Collateral as is necessary to reduce the Obligations so as to comply with the Pledged Collateral requirements then in effect or sell, liquidate or redeem all of the Pledged Collateral with any excess after payment in full of the Obligations paid to the appropriate Pledgor, subject to the rights of any other party thereto and the other provisions hereof.

6. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all defenses, counterclaims, rights of setoff, any requirement that Lender first proceed against any guarantor or any other security, all requirements for notice of any kind, demand, protest, presentment, notice of non-payment, default or dishonor of any Obligation, notice of acceptance hereof, marshalling of assets and the like, including without limitation, any right to notice or judicial hearing in connection with Lender’s taking possession of or disposition of any Pledged Collateral, any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition by Lender of any Obligation, any requirement that Lender first proceed against Borrower, any other Pledgor, any other collateral or any other person liable for any of the Obligations, and all damages occasioned by any of the foregoing (except as finally determined by a competent court to have been the direct result of Lender’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct). No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defense to any of either Pledgor’s obligations or agreements or any of Lender’s rights or remedies hereunder. During the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may from time to time, without notice to or consent by either Pledgor, and without affecting or impairing either Pledgor’s obligations or agreements or Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder: (i) sell, release, exchange, settle, compromise or otherwise dispose of or deal with any property or other security for any of the Obligations, and (ii) exercise (in such order as Lender may choose), or refrain from exercising, any rights against any person liable for any of the Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Pledgor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (x) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law that would otherwise prevent Lender from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, or exercising any right or remedy (including any right of set-off) against Borrower or either Pledgor before or after the commencement or completion of any foreclosure action or sale of any collateral for the Obligations, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or (y) any other law that in any other way would otherwise require any election of remedies by Lender.

7. Each Pledgor further covenants, represents and warrants to Lender that:

(i) Such Pledgor is a Delaware limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has the requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or the property owned or leased requires such qualification or where the failure to be so qualified to do business would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) Such Pledgor has the limited liability company power and requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Security Agreement and such other Loan Documents executed by it. Such Pledgor is duly authorized to, and has taken all limited liability company action necessary to authorize it to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Security Agreement and such other Loan Documents applicable to it and is and will continue to be duly authorized to perform its obligations under this Security Agreement and such other Loan Documents applicable to it. Such Pledgor has duly executed and delivered this Security Agreement.

 

3


(iii) None of the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the consummation of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, or the compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or with the terms and provisions thereof, will contravene or conflict, (a) with such Pledgor’s Organizational Documents; and (b) in any material respect, with any provision of any Legal Requirement to which such Pledgor is subject or any judgment, license, order, or permit applicable to such Pledgor or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or instrument to which such Pledgor is a party or by which such Pledgor may be bound, or to which such Pledgor may be subject. No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or Governmental Authority or third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery by such Pledgor of the Loan Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(iv) This Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Pledgor is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Pledgor, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to Debtor Relief Laws.

(v) There is no material fact that such Pledgor has not disclosed to Lender in writing which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No information heretofore furnished by such Pledgor in connection with this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, taken as a whole and when furnished, contains any untrue statement of a material fact that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(vi) No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an Event of Default or a Potential Default.

(vii) There are no actions, suits, investigations or legal, equitable, arbitration or administrative proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of such Pledgor, threatened, against such Pledgor that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(viii) All material tax returns required to be filed by such Pledgor in any jurisdiction have been filed and all material taxes (including mortgage recording taxes), assessments, fees, and other governmental charges upon such Pledgor or upon any of its properties, income or franchises have been paid prior to the time that such taxes could give rise to a lien thereon. There is no proposed tax assessment against such Pledgor or any basis for such assessment which is material and is not being contested in good faith.

(ix) Such Pledgor’s principal place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Pledgor keeps its books and records, including recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium or recording, including software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics, has been and will continue to be 35 East 62nd Street, New York, NY 10065 (unless such Pledgor notifies Lender in writing promptly following the date of such change).

(x) None of the transactions contemplated hereunder or by the other Loan Documents will constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that could subject Lender to any tax or penalty or prohibited transactions imposed under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA.

(xi) Such Pledgor is, to the best of its knowledge, in compliance in all material respects with all material Legal Requirements which are applicable to such Pledgor or its properties.

(xii) The fiscal year of such Pledgor is the calendar year.

 

4


(xiii) Such Pledgor is not required to register as an “investment company” pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(xiv) MFW One, which was formerly known as “MacAndrews Finance Two LLC”, changed its name in 2007 to “MFW Holdings One, LLC”. The “MacAndrews Finance Two LLC” named as “Debtor” in a UCC Financing Statement filed in the State of Delaware in favor of Bank of America, N.A. is a separate legal entity and such UCC Financing Statement is not a lien or security interest against MFW One or any of its property, including the Pledged Collateral.

(xv) Such Pledgor is not a person (a) whose property or interest in property is blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)), (b) who engages in any dealings or transactions prohibited by Section 2 of such executive order, or is otherwise associated with any such person in any manner violative of Section 2, or (c) on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons or subject to the limitations or prohibitions under any other U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control regulation or executive order.

(xvi) Such Pledgor is not (a) a person included within the definition of “designated foreign country” or “national” of a “designated foreign country” in Executive Order No. 8389, as amended, in Executive Order No. 9193, as amended, in the Foreign Assets Control Regulations (31 C.F.R., Chapter V, Part 500, as amended), in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Chapter V, Part 515, as amended) or in the Regulations of the Office of Alien Property, Department of Justice (8 C.F.R., Chapter II, Part 507, as amended) or within the meanings of any of the said Orders or Regulations, or of any regulations, interpretations, or rulings issued thereunder, or in violation of said Orders or Regulations or of any regulations, interpretations or rulings issued thereunder; or (b) an entity listed in Section 520.101 of the Foreign Funds Control Regulations (31 C.F.R., Chapter V, Part 520, as amended).

(xvii) There exists no right of setoff, deduction or counterclaim on the part of such Pledgor against Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates.

(xviii) As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding shareholder interests of Pledgor are 100% owned of record and beneficially by the Guarantor, free and clear of all Liens. The Guarantor Control the Pledgors, including, without limitation, the business, operations and day-to-day management of Pledgor, and the absolute right, in the name of and on behalf of Pledgors, to enter into the transactions under this Security Agreement and under the Loan Documents, to place Liens upon the assets of Pledgors and to authorize and distribute monies.

8.(A)(1) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement: (a) Lender may declare all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon same shall become immediately due and payable, without demand, provided, that if an event set forth in Section 7.1(f) of the Credit Agreement occurs, the Obligations shall automatically become due and payable without declaration by Lender; (b) Lender’s obligation, if any, to give or continue credit facilities to Borrower shall automatically terminate; (c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to take possession of, and sell, redeem, assign, liquidate, transfer and deliver all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at any brokers’ board or exchange, or at public or private sale or otherwise, at the option of Lender, for cash or on credit for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such times and places, and upon such terms and conditions as Lender may deem proper, and in connection therewith may grant options and impose reasonable conditions, all without (except as same are required by applicable law and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to either Pledgor or any other person entitled to notice or right of stay, extension, moratorium, appraisal or redemption of the Pledged Collateral, all of which are hereby expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; (d) upon each such sale, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, may purchase all or any of the Pledged Collateral, free and clear of all claims, rights of redemption and equities of either Pledgor; and (e) Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other applicable law.

 

5


(2) Lender covenants and agrees that all Pledged Shares will be credited to the respective Pledgor’s Collateral Account.

(C) To the extent required by applicable law which cannot be waived, Lender will give Pledgors notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral is to be made, by sending notice at least 3 Business Days before the time of sale or disposition, which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable. Lender need not give such notice if not required by the UCC or other applicable law. Each Pledgor agrees that at any private sale Pledged Collateral may be sold at a price that is less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or that is less than the aggregate outstanding amount of the Obligations. Lender may accept the first offer received and need not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Pledged Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral. Lender may convert any proceeds in foreign currency to U.S. dollars at the average of the buying spot rates of exchange for freely transferable U.S. dollars in effect at the lending office selected by Lender as at the close of business on the date of payment of the sales price for such Pledged Collateral. After deducting its costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Lender may apply any residue to pay the Obligations in such order as it elects and Pledgors will remain liable for any deficiency with interest. All foreign exchange losses incurred in connection with the conversion of any Pledged Collateral denominated in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars shall be borne by Pledgors. If Lender shall be subject to any volume limitations in the sale of Pledged Collateral, Pledgors shall not at any such time sell, or permit any party controlled by Pledgors to sell, any securities if the sale thereof would adversely affect Lender’s ability to sell the Pledged Collateral. If Lender sells any of the Pledged Collateral upon credit, Pledgors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Pledged Collateral, Lender may resell the Pledged Collateral and Pledgors shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

9. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of Lender and any designee or agent (each an “Attorney”) as attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power of substitution, each with authority acting alone, after the occurrence during a continuation of an Event of Default to re-direct, receive and dispose of such Pledgor’s mail, sign or endorse such Pledgor’s name on notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, instruments, certificates, powers, assignments and other documents, execute proofs of claim and loss, releases, endorsements, assignments and other instruments of conveyance, and do all other acts and things necessary and advisable in the sole discretion of Attorney to carry out and enforce this Security Agreement. All acts of each Attorney are hereby ratified and approved and no Attorney shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission or for errors of judgment or mistake of fact or law. This power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

10. In the event and to the extent that any provision of this Security Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or of such provision in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right or remedy and no course of dealing between Lender and Pledgors shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof. All rights and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. No notice to or demand on Pledgors shall entitle Pledgors to any other or further notice or demand, or constitute a waiver of Lender’s rights.

12. This Security Agreement may not be modified, changed, waived or discharged orally, except by a writing signed by the parties hereto. Any waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement or any consent to any departure by Pledgors therefrom shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. This Security Agreement shall be and remain the independent obligation of Pledgors, shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns, and shall be binding upon Pledgors and Pledgors’ heirs, executors, successors and assigns, provided that Pledgors may not transfer, assign or delegate any of Pledgors’ rights or obligations hereunder, and, at Lender’s option, any such purported transfer, assignment or delegation shall be void. This Security Agreement shall terminate upon final payment in full to Lender of all of the

 

6


Obligations and termination of any obligation of Lender to make advances, and shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of or on account of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or Pledgors or any other person or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

13. During the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender (or any affiliate of Lender) to or for the credit or the account of Pledgors against any and all of the Obligations. Lender agrees promptly to notify Pledgors after any such setoff and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of Lender under this Section are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that Lender may have.

14. Each Pledgor will indemnify and hold Lender harmless for, and pay in U.S. dollars all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, taxes, penalties, costs, fees and expenses of any kind, including attorneys’ fees, imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Lender in connection with this Security Agreement, the custody, care, preservation, sale or disposition of any Pledged Collateral, and the enforcement of Lender’s rights hereunder; provided that Lender shall not be entitled to any such indemnification for any claim or loss caused by its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. All payments hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, and all interest, penalties and other liabilities with respect thereto, except for any Excluded Taxes (collectively, “Taxes”), now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction, or any department, agency, state, political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, Pledgors agree to pay the full amount thereof, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that each net payment received by Lender will not be less than the amount provided for herein. Pledgors will furnish to Lender within 30 days after each payment of Taxes is due, originals or certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment. The provisions of this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and termination of this Security Agreement.

15. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing (except where telephonic instructions or notices are expressly authorized herein to be given) and shall be deemed to be effective: (a) if by hand delivery, telecopy or other facsimile transmission, on the day and at the time on which delivered to such party at the address or fax numbers specified below, and if such day is not a Business Day, delivery shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day; (b) if by mail, on the day which it is received after being deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to such party at the address specified below; or (c) if by Federal Express or other reputable express mail service, on the next Business Day following the delivery to such express mail service, addressed to such party at the address set forth below; or (d) if by telephone, on the day and at the time reciprocal communication (i.e., direct communication between two or more persons, which shall not include voice mail messages) with one of the individuals named below occurs during a call to the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party below:

18. If the Obligations under this Security Agreement shall be held by an Affiliate of Lender (“Securities Intermediary”) then such Affiliate is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts such appointment, to hold the Pledged Collateral as securities intermediary and agent for the benefit of Lender or, if any of the Obligations are also owed by Pledgors to Securities Intermediary, then pro rata for the benefit of such Securities Intermediary and Lender in accordance with the principal amount owed to each of them, respectively. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes Securities Intermediary to act solely and exclusively on the entitlement orders originated by and instructions of Lender in respect of the Pledged Collateral, without further consent of Pledgors, and each Pledgor hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that Securities Intermediary may comply with all such orders or other instructions from Lender without liability to Pledgors for acting or not acting in accordance with any orders or instructions given by Lender, so long as this Security Agreement shall remain in effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgors, without the consent of Lender, shall have no right to withdraw or transfer any Pledged Collateral (including any cash balance) from the Collateral Accounts, or to give any entitlement orders or other instructions to Securities Intermediary in respect of the Pledged Collateral, so long as any Obligation is outstanding.

19. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICT OF LAWS) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE STATE OF NEW YORK IS LENDER’S JURISDICTION FOR PURPOSES OF ARTICLES 8 AND 9 OF THE UCC.

Exhibit 45

EXECUTION COPY

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of December 21, 2011 (this “Security Agreement”) is entered into by MX HOLDINGS ONE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“undersigned” or “Pledgor”) in favor of DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as lender (“Lender”).

In consideration of loans, advances, overdrafts, letters of credit, acceptances, swaps, securities transactions, forward contracts, foreign currency transactions and all other credit transactions and financial accommodations given or to be given or to be continued from time to time to Pledgor by Lender, pursuant to that certain Term Loan Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Pledgor and the Lender, and in order to induce Lender, to make such loans or otherwise to give, grant or extend credit at any time(s) to the Pledgor, the Pledgor, hereby agrees with Lender as follows:

1. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall be as defined in the Credit Agreement.

2. As collateral security for the punctual payment and performance of all present and future liabilities and obligations, direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, secured or unsecured, joint or several of Pledgor to Lender when due, whether at stated maturity, on demand, by acceleration or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter incurred, whether now or hereafter due, whether for principal, interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, whether or not allowed or allowable thereunder), fees, costs, attorneys’ fees, court costs, taxes, damages, expenses, indemnities, or otherwise, and howsoever evidenced in connection with the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents (as defined therein) (collectively, the “Obligations”), Pledgor hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Lender a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon all right, title and interest of Pledgor in and to (i) the securities accounts which may be created from time to time at Lender or an affiliate of Lender (the “Collateral Accounts”), (ii) all securities, shares, certificates and other equity interests, investment property, security entitlements of Pledgor from time to time deposited in or credited to the Collateral Accounts, (iii) in addition to, and not in derogation of clause (i) or clause (ii) above, all shares of common stock of M&F Worldwide Corp., a Delaware corporation (“M&F Worldwide”) including without limitation, the shares described in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Pledged Shares”), (iv) all cash, securities, shares, certificates, notes, instruments, promissory notes, payment intangibles, general intangibles, accounts, letter of credit rights and all other property and financial assets now or hereafter received or receivable in connection with any sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of any of the foregoing, (v) all dividends, interest and other distributions, whether in cash, securities, promissory notes, payment intangibles, general intangibles, accounts or other property on or in respect of any of the foregoing and (vi) all proceeds and profits of any of the foregoing (including proceeds of proceeds, proceeds of insurance policies and claims against third parties), in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”).

3. Pledgor represents and warrants to Lender with regard to itself and the Pledged Collateral that:

(a) The information regarding Pledgor set forth opposite Pledgor’s signature below (“Pledgor Information”) is true, correct and complete on the date hereof.

(b) Pledgor has, and will continue to maintain, with respect to its properties and business, including the Pledged Collateral, insurance covering risks, in amounts, with deductibles or other retention amounts, and with carriers, as are consistent with customary practices and standards of Pledgor’s industry and the failure of which to maintain could have a Material Adverse Effect as of the Closing Date.

(c) The Pledged Collateral, including the Pledged Shares, is owned of record and beneficially by Pledgor, and except for the security interest granted to Lender hereunder and as otherwise set forth on Schedule B


hereto, is free and clear of all Liens and no financing statement (other than any which may be filed on behalf of Lender in connection herewith) covering any of Pledgor’s interests in the Pledged Collateral is or shall be on file in any public office, and all Pledged Collateral has been validly pledged hereunder. Upon the execution and delivery by Pledgor of this Security Agreement and the delivery of the certificates and uncertificated shares identified on Schedule A to Lender, Lender shall have a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral. All information with respect to the Pledged Collateral set forth in any schedule, certificate or other writing at any time heretofore or hereafter furnished by Pledgor or on behalf of Pledgor to Lender, and all other written information heretofore or hereafter furnished by Pledgor or on behalf of Pledgor to Lender, is and will be true and correct in all material respects.

(d) There are no filings or recordations against the Pledged Collateral which grant or purport to grant a Lien in any Pledged Collateral to any other person.

(e) All Pledged Collateral which consists of equity interests has been validly acquired and validly issued, and is fully paid and non-assessable and no Pledged Collateral is evidenced or represented by any certificate, note or chattel paper other than such as has been delivered to Lender together with appropriate stock powers or other instruments of transfer therefore.

(f) The Pledgor will cooperate fully with the Lender with respect to any sale by the Lender of any of the Pledged Shares upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(k) The Pledgor agrees not to vote in favor of (i) any amendment to the articles of incorporation or charter of any issuer of the Pledged Shares or any shareholders agreement or similar agreement that may materially adversely affect the value of the Pledged Shares or (ii) the merger or consolidation of M&F Worldwide with or into any corporation or other person, without the prior written consent of the Lender. Nothing in this Section shall restrict the Pledgor’s ability to exercise in good faith Pledgor’s fiduciary or other similar legal obligations as an officer or director of any issuer of the Pledged Shares; provided, that, unless restricted by law or agreement, the Pledgor shall promptly notify the Lender of any vote made by the Pledgor in the exercise of such obligation which is in contravention of this Section.

4. Pledgor covenants and agrees with Lender that: (a) Lender’s sole duty with respect to the Pledged Collateral is to use such care as it uses for similar property for its own account, and Lender shall not be obligated to preserve rights in the Pledged Collateral against prior parties, (b) Pledgor will (i) be solely responsible for all matters relating to the Pledged Collateral, including ascertaining maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges and tenders, (ii) not, and will not purport to, grant or suffer Liens, other than Permitted Liens, against, or sell, transfer or dispose of any Pledged Collateral, (iii) from time to time take all actions (including entering into any control agreement requested by Lender and otherwise cooperate with Lender in maintaining control with respect to that Pledged Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by control pursuant to the UCC, as herein below defined or other applicable law) and make all filings, registrations and recordations requested by Lender in connection with Lender’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral, (iv) promptly notify Lender of the occurrence of any default hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Obligations, and (v) hold in trust for, and forthwith pay over to, Lender in the form received (except for any necessary endorsements) all property, proceeds or distributions received by Pledgor on account of any Pledged Collateral, (c) at any time and from time to time during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to Lender’s name or that of its nominee, and exercise all rights as if the absolute owner thereof, and file a proof of claim for, receive payments or distributions on, and exchange or release Pledged Collateral in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, (d) Lender is authorized to file financing statements and/or a copy of this Security Agreement and give notice to third parties regarding the Pledged Collateral without Pledgor’s signature to the extent permitted by applicable law, (e) Pledgor will not change any of the Pledgor Information without giving ten (10) days prior written notice thereof to Lender, and (f) Lender may rely upon any written (including fax), telephonic or oral communication in good faith believed by Lender to have been authorized by Pledgor; provided, however, that if any such communication is oral or telephonic, it shall be promptly confirmed in writing (including by fax) (but the lack of such confirmation or any conflict between such confirmation and the relevant telephonic or oral communications shall not affect any action taken by Lender in reliance on such telephonic or oral communications prior to receipt of such confirmation).

 

2


5. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect (the “UCC”) or other applicable law, and may, in addition to any other right or remedy available to Lender hereunder or under applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to or consent by Pledgor (except as required by Section 8 below), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 below, sell, liquidate or redeem so much of the Pledged Collateral as is necessary to reduce the Obligations so as to comply with the Pledged Collateral requirements then in effect or sell, liquidate or redeem all of the Pledged Collateral with any excess after payment in full of the Obligations paid to Pledgor, subject to the rights of any other party thereto and the other provisions hereof.

6. Pledgor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all defenses, counterclaims, rights of setoff, any requirement that Lender first proceed against any guarantor or any other security, all requirements for notice of any kind, demand, protest, presentment, notice of non-payment, default or dishonor of any Obligation, notice of acceptance hereof, marshalling of assets and the like, including without limitation, any right to notice or judicial hearing in connection with Lender’s taking possession of or disposition of any Pledged Collateral, any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition by Lender of any Obligation, any requirement that Lender first proceed against Pledgor, any other collateral or any other person liable for any of the Obligations, and all damages occasioned by any of the foregoing (except as finally determined by a competent court to have been the direct result of Lender’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct). No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defense to any of Pledgor’s obligations or agreements or any of Lender’s rights or remedies hereunder. During the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may from time to time, without notice to or consent by Pledgor, and without affecting or impairing Pledgor’s obligations or agreements or Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder: (i) sell, release, exchange, settle, compromise or otherwise dispose of or deal with any property or other security for any of the Obligations, and (ii) exercise (in such order as Lender may choose), or refrain from exercising, any rights against any person liable for any of the Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pledgor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (x) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law that would otherwise prevent Lender from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, or exercising any right or remedy (including any right of set-off) against Pledgor before or after the commencement or completion of any foreclosure action or sale of any collateral for the Obligations, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or (y) any other law that in any other way would otherwise require any election of remedies by Lender.

(A) (1) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement: (a) Lender may declare all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon same shall become immediately due and payable, without demand, provided, that if an event set forth in Section 7.1(f) of the Credit Agreement occurs, the Obligations shall automatically become due and payable without declaration by Lender; (b) Lender’s obligation, if any, to give or continue credit facilities to Pledgor shall automatically terminate; (c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to take possession of, and sell, redeem, assign, liquidate, transfer and deliver all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at any brokers’ board or exchange, or at public or private sale or otherwise, at the option of Lender, for cash or on credit for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such times and places, and upon such terms and conditions as Lender may deem proper, and in connection therewith may grant options and impose reasonable conditions, all without (except as same are required by applicable law and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Pledgor or any other person entitled to notice or right of stay, extension, moratorium, appraisal or redemption of the Pledged Collateral, all of which are hereby expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; (d) upon each such sale, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, may purchase all or any of the Pledged Collateral, free and clear of all claims, rights of redemption and equities of the Borrower; and (e) Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other applicable law.

(2) Lender covenants and agrees that all Pledged Shares will be credited to the Collateral Account.

(C) To the extent required by applicable law which cannot be waived, Lender will give Pledgor notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral is to be made, by sending notice at least 3 Business Days before the time of sale or disposition, which Pledgor agrees is reasonable. Lender need not give such notice if not required by the UCC or other applicable law. Pledgor agrees that at any private sale Pledged Collateral may be sold at a price that is less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or that is less than the aggregate outstanding amount of the Obligations. Lender may accept the first offer received and need not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Pledged Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral. Lender may convert any proceeds in foreign currency to U.S. dollars at the average of the buying spot rates of exchange for freely transferable U.S. dollars in effect at the lending office selected by Lender as at the close of business on the date of payment of the sales price for such Pledged Collateral. After deducting its costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Lender may apply any residue to pay the Obligations in such order as it elects and Pledgor will remain liable for any deficiency with interest. All foreign exchange losses incurred in connection with the conversion of any Pledged Collateral denominated in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars shall be borne by Pledgor. If Lender shall be subject to any volume limitations in the sale of Pledged Collateral, Pledgor shall not at any such time sell, or permit any party controlled by Pledgor to sell, any securities if the sale thereof would adversely affect Lender’s ability to sell the Pledged Collateral. If Lender sells any of the Pledged Collateral upon credit, Pledgor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Pledged Collateral, Lender may resell the Pledged Collateral and Pledgor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

9. Pledgor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of Lender and any designee or agent (each an “Attorney”) as attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, with full power of substitution, each with authority acting alone, after the occurrence during a continuation of an Event of Default to re-direct, receive and dispose of Pledgor’s mail, sign or endorse Pledgor’s name on notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, instruments, certificates, powers, assignments and other documents, execute proofs of claim and loss, releases, endorsements, assignments and other instruments of conveyance, and do all other acts and things necessary and advisable in the sole discretion of Attorney to carry out and enforce this Security Agreement. All acts of each Attorney are hereby ratified and approved and no Attorney shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission or for errors of judgment or mistake of fact or law. This power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

10. In the event and to the extent that any provision of this Security Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or of such provision in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right or remedy and no course of dealing between Lender and Pledgor shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof. All rights and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. No notice to or demand on Pledgor shall entitle Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand, or constitute a waiver of Lender’s rights.

12. This Security Agreement may not be modified, changed, waived or discharged orally, except by a writing signed by the parties hereto. Any waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement or any consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. This Security Agreement shall be and remain the independent obligation of Pledgor, shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns, and shall be binding upon Pledgor and Pledgor’s heirs, executors, successors and assigns, provided that Pledgor may not transfer, assign or delegate any of

 

4


Pledgor’s rights or obligations hereunder, and, at Lender’s option, any such purported transfer, assignment or delegation shall be void. This Security Agreement shall terminate upon final payment in full to Lender of all of the Obligations and termination of any obligation of Lender to make advances, and shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of or on account of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or Pledgor or any other person or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

13. During the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender (or any affiliate of Lender) to or for the credit or the account of Pledgor against any and all of the Obligations. Lender agrees promptly to notify Pledgor after any such setoff and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of Lender under this Section are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that Lender may have.

14. Pledgor will indemnify and hold Lender harmless for, and pay in U.S. dollars all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, taxes, penalties, costs, fees and expenses of any kind, including attorneys’ fees, imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Lender in connection with this Security Agreement, the custody, care, preservation, sale or disposition of any Pledged Collateral, and the enforcement of Lender’s rights hereunder; provided that Lender shall not be entitled to any such indemnification for any claim or loss caused by its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. All payments hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, and all interest, penalties and other liabilities with respect thereto, except for any Excluded Taxes (collectively, “Taxes”), now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction, or any department, agency, state, political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, Pledgor agrees to pay the full amount thereof, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that each net payment received by Lender will not be less than the amount provided for herein. Pledgor will furnish to Lender within 30 days after each payment of Taxes is due, originals or certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment. The provisions of this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and termination of this Security Agreement.

16. PLEDGOR AND LENDER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement, Pledgor hereby accepts, for both Pledgor and Pledgor’s property, the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, and the federal courts in New York City, and agrees that effective service of process may be made on Pledgor by mailing same to Pledgor’s address set forth below. Lender may proceed against Pledgor in any other applicable jurisdiction, and may serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives any objection Pledgor may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in the aforesaid courts, and any claim that any of the aforesaid courts is an inconvenient forum. To the extent that Pledgor or Pledgor’s property may have or hereafter acquire immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any judicial process in connection with this Security Agreement, Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any such immunity and agrees not to claim same.

If this Security Agreement is signed by two or more parties as Pledgor, they shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder, and the term “Pledgor” as used herein shall mean the Pledgor parties hereto, and each of them. This Security Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Security Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.

18. If the Obligations under this Security Agreement shall be held by an Affiliate of Lender (“Securities Intermediary”) then such Affiliate is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts such appointment, to hold the Pledged Collateral as securities intermediary and agent for the benefit of Lender or, if any of the Obligations are also owed by Pledgor to Securities Intermediary, then pro rata for the benefit of such Securities Intermediary and Lender in accordance with the principal amount owed to each of them, respectively. Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes Securities Intermediary to act solely and exclusively on the entitlement orders originated by and instructions of Lender in respect of the Pledged Collateral, without further consent of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that Securities Intermediary may comply with all such orders or other instructions from Lender without liability to Pledgor for acting or not acting in accordance with any orders or instructions given by Lender, so long as this Security Agreement shall remain in effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor, without the consent of Lender, shall have no right to withdraw or transfer any Pledged Collateral (including any cash balance) from the Collateral Accounts, or to give any entitlement orders or other instructions to Securities Intermediary in respect of the Pledged Collateral, so long as any Obligation is outstanding.

THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICT OF LAWS) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE STATE OF NEW YORK IS LENDER’S JURISDICTION FOR PURPOSES OF ARTICLES 8 AND 9 OF THE UCC.
