6.     Other Rights With Respect to Pledged Collateral.


 


In addition to the other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral granted to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent hereunder, at any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent, at its option and at the expense of the Pledgors, may, subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement entered into in connection with Indebtedness permitted under the Indenture and any other applicable Noteholder Document: (a) transfer into its own name, or into the name of its nominee, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, thereafter receiving all dividends, income or other distributions upon the Pledged Collateral; (b) take control of and manage all or any of the Pledged Collateral; (c) apply to the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, whether any be due and payable or not, any moneys, including cash dividends and income from any Pledged Collateral, now or hereafter in the hands of the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent or the Joint First Lien Collateral Agent, or any Affiliate of the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent or Joint First Lien Collateral Agent, on deposit or otherwise, belonging to any Pledgor, as the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine; and (d) do anything which any Pledgor is required but fails to do hereunder. The 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder.


 


7.     Additional Remedies Upon Event of Default.


 


Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and while such Event of Default shall be continuing, the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall have, in addition to all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or other applicable Law, and in addition to its rights under Section 6 above and under the other Noteholder Documents, the following rights and remedies, in each case subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement entered into in connection with Indebtedness permitted under the Indenture and any other applicable Noteholder Document:


 


(a)     The 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent may, after ten (10) days’ advance notice to a Pledgor, sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, at any of the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days’ advance notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor recognizes that the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales of the Pledged Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities, shares, capital stock, member interests, partnership interests, investment property or ownership interests for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.

(b)     The proceeds of any collection, sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, shall be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether or not all the same be then due and payable, as provided in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Section 7 conducted in accordance with the requirements of applicable laws. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that such private sale is conducted in accordance with applicable laws and this Agreement. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable laws, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental authority or official, nor shall the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to any Pledgor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Pledged Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.


 


8.     1.25 Lien Collateral Agent’s Duties.


 


The powers conferred on the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties) in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.


 


9.     Additional Pledgors.


 


It is anticipated that additional persons may from time to time become Subsidiaries of the Issuer or a Guarantor, each of whom will be required to join this Agreement as a Pledgor hereunder to the extent that such new Subsidiary is required to become a Guarantor under the Indenture and applicable Noteholder Documents and owns equity interests in any other Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary. It is acknowledged and agreed that such new Subsidiaries of the Issuer or a Guarantor may become Pledgors hereunder and will be bound hereby simply by executing and delivering to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent a Supplemental Indenture (in the form of Exhibit B to the Indenture) and a Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit B to the Security Agreement. No notice of the addition of any Pledgor shall be required to be given to any pre-existing Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.

10.     No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.


 


No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided under the other Noteholder Documents or by Law, rule or regulation and the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option. Each Pledgor waives any right to require the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent to proceed against any other Person or to exhaust any of the Pledged Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations or to pursue any remedy in the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent’s power.


 


11.     Waivers.


 


Each Pledgor hereby waives any and all defenses which any Pledgor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like and each Pledgor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding Section hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor hereby further waives each of the following:


 


(i)     All notices, disclosures and demands of any nature which otherwise might be required from time to time to preserve intact any rights against such Pledgor, including the following: any notice of any event or circumstance described in the immediately preceding Section hereof; any notice required by any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Noteholder Document or any of the Secured Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Secured Obligation; any notice of any default or any failure on the part of such Pledgor or the Issuer or any other Person to comply with any Noteholder Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any requirement pertaining to any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; and any notice or other information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of the Issuer or any other Person;


 


(ii)     Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against such Pledgor or the Issuer or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding, or to the exercise against such Pledgor or the Issuer, or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Noteholder Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Joint First Lien Collateral Agent, the Noteholders or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Noteholder Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Noteholder Document, and any requirement that any Pledgor receive notice of any such acceptance; and

12.     Assignment.


 


All rights of the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. All obligations of each Pledgor shall bind its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Pledgor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein, and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void.


 


13.     Severability.


 


Any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement which shall be held invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof (or portions thereof).


 


14.     Governing Law.


 


This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York.


 


15.     Notices.


 


All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively, “notices”) given to or made upon any party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as set forth in Section 13.3 of the Indenture and the related provisions of any other applicable Noteholder Document, and the Pledgors (in their capacity as Pledgors and in their capacity as Companies) shall simultaneously send to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent any notices such Pledgor or such Company delivers to each other regarding any of the Pledged Collateral.


 


16.     Specific Performance.


 


Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the other rights of the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Noteholder Documents, because the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies at law for failure of any Pledgor to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent’s rights (i) to inspect the books and records related to the Pledged Collateral, (ii) to receive the various notifications any Pledgor is required to deliver hereunder, (iii) to obtain copies of agreements and documents as provided herein with respect to the Pledged Collateral, (iv) to enforce the provisions hereof pursuant to which any Pledgor has appointed the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact and (v) to enforce the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies hereunder, would be inadequate and that any such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, such Pledgor agrees that each such provision hereof may be specifically enforced, subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement.


 



10




 




 


17.     Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.


 


So long as no Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the Indenture or any other applicable Noteholder Document, each Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the other Noteholder Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not exercise or will refrain from exercising any such voting and other consensual right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, as the case may be, if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of any Pledged Collateral. At any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Pledgor shall be permitted to exercise any of its respective voting and other consensual rights whatsoever pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; provided, however, in addition to the other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral granted to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder, at any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement, and any other intercreditor agreement entered into in connection with Indebtedness permitted under the Indenture and any other applicable Noteholder Document, the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights of each and every Pledgor pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. The 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of the exercise by 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent of the voting or other consensual rights of such Pledgor pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition thereto, Pledgors shall not vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Company to: (i) issue any other ownership interests of any nature or to issue any other securities, investment property or other ownership interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any other ownership interests of any nature of any such Company, except as permitted by the Indenture and any other applicable Noteholder Document; or (ii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Pledgor or the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral without the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, except as permitted by the Indenture and any other applicable Noteholder Document.


 


18.     Consent to Jurisdiction.


 


Each Pledgor (as a Pledgor and as a Company) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:


 


(a)     submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Noteholder Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;


 


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


 


(c)     agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Pledgor at its address referred to in Section 8.02 of the Security Agreement or at such other address of which the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;


 


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


 


(e)     waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.


 



11




 




 


19.     Waiver of Jury Trial.


 


EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH PLEDGOR (AS A PLEDGOR AND AS A COMPANY), EACH OF THE COMPANIES AND THE 1.25 LIEN COLLATERAL AGENT, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF, THE TRUSTEE AND THE JOINT FIRST LIEN COLLATERAL AGENT, HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY A JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO.


 


20.     Entire Agreement; Amendments.


 


(a)     This Agreement and the other Noteholder Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to a grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral by any Pledgor to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent in relation to the Secured Obligations.


 


(b)     Except as expressly provided in (i) Section 9.1 of the Indenture with respect to the Secured Notes, (ii) Section 9 with respect to additional Pledgors, (iii) Section 21 with respect to the release of Pledgors and Companies, (iv) Section 11.4 of the Indenture and (v) Section 8.01 of the Security Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended or supplemented except by a writing signed by the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent and the Pledgors.


 


21.     Release of Related Collateral and Equity.


 


At any time after the initial execution and delivery of this Agreement to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent, the Pledgors and their respective Pledged Collateral, the Companies and JV Holding Companies may be released from this Agreement in accordance with and pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Indenture and the comparable provisions of any other applicable Noteholder Documents, or at the times and to the extent required by the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement. No notice of such release of any Pledgor or such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral shall be required to be given to any other Pledgor and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.


 


22.     Counterparts; Electronic Transmission of Signatures.


 


This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy or electronic (i.e., “e-mail” or “portable document folio” (“pdf”)) transmission to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Pledgor shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Pledgor.


 


23.     Construction.


 


The rules of construction contained in Section 1.2 of the Indenture and the comparable provisions of any other applicable Noteholder Documents apply to this Agreement.


 


24.     Waiver of Restrictions.


 


Each Pledgor agrees that any restriction on transfer (if any) of the Pledged Collateral contained in the organizational documents to which such Pledgor is a party, is hereby waived, and further agrees that any such restriction does not apply to the grant of security interest made hereunder or to any transfer of the Pledged Collateral to a Secured Party or any third party in connection with an exercise of remedies hereunder.


 



12




 




 


25.     First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement shall govern.


 


26.     1.25 Lien Collateral Agent Privileges, Powers and Immunities.


 


In the performance of its obligations, powers and rights hereunder, the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the rights, benefits, privileges, powers and immunities afforded to it as 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent under the Indenture, the applicable Noteholder Document and the Collateral Agency Agreement. The 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall take or refrain from taking any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers set forth in this Agreement in accordance with, and subject to, the Indenture and applicable Noteholder Document (it being understood and agreed that the actions and directions set forth in Section 9.1 of the Indenture are not discretionary) and the Collateral Agency Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9-207 of the New York UCC, the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any liens securing Secured Obligations (including, but not limited to, no obligation to prepare, record, file, re-record or re-file any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument in any public office). The permissive rights and authorizations of the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent hereunder shall not be construed as duties. The 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise its powers and duties hereunder through designees, specialists, experts or other appointees selected by it with due care and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of such appointees. The 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to take any action toward the enforcement of this Agreement, whether on its own motion or on the request of any other Person, which in the opinion of the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent may involve loss, liability or expense to it, unless the Company or one or more Secured Parties shall offer and furnish security or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent, against such loss, liability and expense to the 1.25 Lien Collateral Agent.
