ARTICLE II


 


GUARANTEE


 


Section 2.01 Guarantee.  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations.  Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain
bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.  Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.


 


Section 2.02 Guarantee of Payment.  Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person.


 




  





5











  






 


Section 2.03 No Limitations, Etc.  (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 7.15, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the
Obligations; (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations) or (vi) any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a guaranteed obligation.  Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder.  Anything contained in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 3 at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Section 3 subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.


 


(b) (i)           To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations.  The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by it by one or more judicial or non-judicial
sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to the Administrative Agent against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or 


 




  





6











  






 


remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.


 


(ii) Each Guarantor waives any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to proceed against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or pursue any other remedy in their respective power to pursue, as well as any defense based on any claim that Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower.  To the extent that the laws of the State of California may be deemed to apply to the Guarantees, the rights which each Guarantor hereby waives include all rights of
subordination, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Guarantor by reason of Section 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code; provided that these waivers shall not limit the express rights of the Guarantors that are set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 hereof.


 


(iii) Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if the Administrative Agent forecloses judicially or non-judicially against any real property security for the Obligations, such foreclosure could impair or destroy any right or ability that any Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under its Guarantee.  To the extent that the laws of the State of California may be deemed to apply to the Guarantees, each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that, in the absence of this waiver, such potential impairment or
destruction of the Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle the Guarantor to assert a defense to its Guarantee based on California Code of Civil Procedure §580d as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky, (1968) 265 CA 2d 40, 71 CR 64, on the grounds, among others, that a lender should be estopped from pursuing a guarantor when the lender’s election to foreclose has impaired or destroyed the guarantor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification rights.  By execution of this Agreement, each Guarantor intentionally, freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (A) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that such Guarantor will be liable under its Guarantee even though the Administrative Agent had foreclosed judicially or non-judicially against any real or
personal property collateral for the Obligations or any of the Guarantees; and (B) agrees that such Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may commence to enforce its Guarantee.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal or another Guarantor by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure.


 




  





7











  






 


(iv) To the extent that the laws of the State of California may be deemed to apply to the Guarantees, each Guarantor intentionally, freely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes all rights which may be available to it under any provision of California law or under any California judicial decision, including Section 580a and 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, to seek to limit the amount of any deficiency judgment or other judgment which may be obtained against such Guarantor under its Guarantee to not more than the amount by which the unpaid Obligations guaranteed hereby exceed
the fair market value or fair value of any real or personal property securing said Obligations, including, without limitation, all rights to an appraisement of, judicial or other hearing on, or other determination of the value of said property.


 


(v) To the extent that the laws of the State of California may be deemed to apply to the Guarantees, and without limiting any of the other waivers and provisions set forth herein, if the debt of the Borrower or another Guarantor’s  Guarantee is secured by real property, each Guarantor hereby intentionally, freely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because the debt of the Borrower or another Guarantor’s Guarantee is secured by real property; this means, among other things: (A) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may collect from
that Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower or another Guarantor; (B) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is determined to be worth more than the sale price; and (C) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may collect from that Guarantor even if the Administrative Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower or another Guarantor.  This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have under circumstances where the debt of the Borrower or another Guarantor’s Guarantee is secured by real property.  These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to,
any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.


 


(c) Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, promptness, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, notice of acceptance and any other notice in respect of the Obligations or any part of them, any defense which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, including, without limitation, any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other entity or other
person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (A) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law which would otherwise prevent the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, or exercising any other right or remedy (including any right of set-off), against such Guarantor before or after the Administrative Agent’s or other Secured

Party’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or (B) any other law which in any other way would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.  Each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, except by complete performance.


 


Section 2.04 Reinstatement.  Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise.


 


Section 2.05 Agreement To Pay; Subrogation.  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to
be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation.  Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article VI.


 


Section 2.06 Information.

payment made or any expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.03(g) shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that it shall not permit any inventory to be in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor at any time unless such warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor shall have been notified of
the Security Interest and shall have acknowledged in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that such warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor holds the Inventory for the benefit of the Administrative Agent subject to the Security Interest and shall act upon the instructions of the Administrative Agent without further consent from the Grantor, and that such warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor further agrees to waive and release any Lien held by it with respect to such Inventory, whether arising by operation of law or otherwise; provided that such written acknowledgment shall not be required until the fair market value of all Inventory in such possession or under such control exceeds $1,000,000 in aggregate amount.

Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful
agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto.  In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Administrative Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the
Administrative Agent deems advisable.  All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection

Section 4.04 Other Actions.  In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:


 


(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper.  If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any tangible chattel paper having a value in excess of $25,000, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.


 


(b) Deposit Accounts.


 


(i) (x)  For deposit accounts with an aggregate balance in excess of $1,000,000 at any time, the applicable Grantors shall execute and deliver, and cause the bank with which such Grantor maintains such deposit accounts (each such bank a “Deposit Account Bank”) to execute and deliver a Deposit Account Control Agreements and (y) for any deposit account that any Grantor at any time opens after the Closing Date with an aggregate balance in excess of $1,000,000 at any time, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and use its best
efforts to cause the Deposit Account Bank in which any such deposit account is maintained to execute and deliver, a Deposit Account Control Agreement. Grantors will maintain cash management systems reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that the cash management system as in effect on the Closing Date is acceptable to the Administrative Agent).


 


(ii) Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that (x) the funds on deposit in the deposit accounts shall continue to be collateral security for all the Obligations and (y) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the election of the Administrative Agent, the funds on deposit in such deposit accounts shall be applied as provided in Section 5.02.  Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to (A) notify each Deposit Account Bank of the occurrence of an Event of Default and (B) following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the election of the Administrative Agent, instruct each Deposit Account Bank to apply the funds on deposit in such deposit account in accordance with Section 5.02.  Each Grantor hereby agrees to irrevocably direct each Deposit Account Bank to comply with the instructions of 


 




  





21











  






 


the Administrative Agent with respect to the relevant deposit account without further consent from the Grantor or any other Person.


 


(c) Investment Property.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article III, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated security having a value in excess of $25,000 such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify.  If any securities now or hereafter
acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the Administrative Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Administrative Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.  If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are held by such Grantor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, such Grantor shall immediately
notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the Administrative Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (A) cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Administrative Agent to such securities intermediary as to such securities or other investment property or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Administrative Agent to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (B) in the case of Investment Property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property,
with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Administrative Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment property.  The Administrative Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that the Administrative Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur.


 


(d) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records.  If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record” having a value in excess of $25,000, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the request of the
Administrative Agent, shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Administrative Agent control under New York UCC Section 9-105 of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic 


 




  





22











  






 


Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.  The Administrative Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Administrative Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Administrative Agent’s loss of control, for the Grantor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.


 


(e) Letter-of-Credit Rights.  If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit having a stated amount in excess of $25,000 now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the request and option of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the
Administrative Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Administrative Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be paid to the applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.


 


(f) Commercial Tort Claims.  If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $1,000,000, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor, including a summary description of such claim, and grant to the Administrative Agent in writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.


 


Section 4.05 Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.


 


(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not do any act or omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent that is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business may become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to mark any products covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws.


 


(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display 


 




  





23











  






 


such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any third-party rights.


 


(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a Copyright material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable copyright laws.


 


(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent immediately if it knows or has reason to know that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the USPTO, USCO or any court or similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same or its right to keep and maintain
the same.


 


(e) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for any Patent or for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright with the USPTO, the USCO or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, unless it promptly informs the Administrative Agent thereof, and, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, executes and delivers any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the
Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.


 


(f) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the USPTO, the USCO or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof to maintain and pursue each material application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, including timely filings of applications
for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.


 


(g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a material Patent, Trademark or Copyright has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly 


 




  





24











  






 


notify the Administrative Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment and if it is reasonably determined by the Grantor that there is a potential risk of material damage to the Patent, Trademark or Copyright, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral.


 


(h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals from the licensor under each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Administrative Agent or its designee.


 


ARTICLE V


 


REMEDIES


 


Section 5.01 Remedies Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Administrative Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer
and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Administrative Agent or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained); and (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate.  The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale of Collateral the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.


 




  





25











  






 


The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held
at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine.  The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the
same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 5.01, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase for cash, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby
waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.  For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent
may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.  Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.


 


Section 5.02 Application of Proceeds.  The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, that it has obtained as provided in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including
pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale 


 




  





26











  






 


shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.


 


Section 5.03 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property.  For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any of the Article 9 Collateral
consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.  The use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.


 


Section 5.04 Securities Act, etc.  In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities
Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder.  Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same.  Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Administrative Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.  Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Administrative Agent
may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such
restrictions.  In the event of any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred 


 




  





27











  






 


until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached.  The provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells.


 


ARTICLE VI


 


INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION


 


Section 6.01 Indemnity and Subrogation.  In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6.03), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement in respect of any Obligation, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part an Obligation, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) of the assets so sold.


 


Section 6.02 Contribution and Subrogation.  Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 6.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Obligation or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Loan Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such
other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 6.01, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.16, the date of the supplement hereto executed and
delivered by such Guarantor).  Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 6.01 to the extent of such payment.


 


Section 6.03 Subordination.


 


(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations.  No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections
6.01 and 6.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.


 




  





28











  






 


(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to any other Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

Section 7.02 Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor and Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change
in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, (d) any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a guaranteed obligation or (e) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.


 


Section 7.03 Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any
investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender or L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.


 


Section 7.04 Binding Effect; Several Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall 


 




  





29











  






 


have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder.


 


Section 7.05 Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns.  No Guarantor or Grantor may assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.


 


Section 7.06 Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.


 


(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating hereto, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.


 


(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents.  The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor: (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and
give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (d) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (e) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (f) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (h) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Administrative Agent; and (i) to use,
sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby.  The Administrative Agent and the other Secured
Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 




Section 7.08 GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE DOMESTIC SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE).


 


Section 7.09 Waivers; Amendment.


 


(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan 


 




  





31











  






 


Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.09, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.  No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 




(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement.


 


Section 7.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.


 


Section 7.11 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


Section 7.12 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 7.04.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 7.13 Headings.  Article and Section headings used herein are for the purpose of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.


 


Section 7.14 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.


 


(a) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Grantor or Guarantor, or its properties, in the courts of any jurisdiction.


 


(b) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 7.14.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.


 


(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.


 


Section 7.15 Termination or Release.


 


(a) This Agreement, the guarantees made herein, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate when the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitments have been terminated, the LC Obligations have been reduced to zero or Cash Collateralized in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer and the L/C Issuer has no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.


 


(b) A Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interests in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction 


 




  





33











  






 


permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.


 


(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement to any Person that is not a Grantor, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released; provided that the Proceeds resulting from such sale or other transfer shall not be
released and shall be included in the Collateral.


 


(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor at such Grantor’s expense all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.


 


Section 7.16 Additional Subsidiaries.  Pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, each Subsidiary of a Loan Party that was not in existence or not a Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Agreement upon becoming such a Subsidiary.  Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of
Exhibit I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a party hereto with the same force and effect as if originally named as a party hereto.  The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder.  The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.


 


Section 7.17 Right of Setoff.  Subject to Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time
held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor will (a) keep all of its physical property insured with casualty or physical hazard insurance on an “all risks” basis, with broad form flood and earthquake coverages and electronic data processing coverage, with a full replacement cost endorsement and an “agreed amount” clause in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of such property, (b) maintain all such workers’ compensation or similar insurance as may be required by law and (c) maintain, in amounts and with deductibles equal to those generally maintained by businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas, general public liability insurance against claims of bodily injury, death or property damage occurring, on, in or about the
properties of such Grantor; business interruption insurance; and product liability insurance.


 


(b)           Each Grantor shall furnish the Administrative Agent with certificates of insurance (in a form similar to those delivered on the Closing Date) evidencing compliance with the insurance provisions contained in Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement in respect of each insurance policy existing on the Closing Date or renewed, extended or replaced following the Closing Date.


 









  





  











  











Exhibit I


to Guarantee and


Collateral Agreement












SUPPLEMENT NO. __ dated as of [_______] (this “Supplement”), to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of April 12, 2012 (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), among Denny’s, Inc., a Florida corporation, (the “Borrower”), Denny’s Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), DFO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“DFO”), Denny’s Realty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Denny’s Realty”), each other Subsidiary Loan Party, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined herein).


 


A.           Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of April 12, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among (i) the Borrower, (ii) Parent, DFO and Denny’s Realty, as Guarantors, (iii) the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and (iv) Wells Fargo, as Administrative Agent.


 


B.           Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement referred to therein.


 


C.           The Grantors have entered into the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit.  Section 7.16 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Subsidiary Loan Parties under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.  The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to
become a Subsidiary Loan Party under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the L/C Issuer to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.


 


Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:


 


SECTION 1.    In accordance with Section 7.16 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Loan Party, a Grantor and a Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Loan Party, a Grantor and a Guarantor, and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Loan Party, Grantor and Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor and
Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the 


 




  





  











  






 


Secured Parties and their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary.  Each reference to a “Subsidiary Loan Party”, a “Grantor” or a “Guarantor” in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary.  The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.


 


SECTION 2.    The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.


 


SECTION 3.    This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and (b) the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of
this Supplement.


 


SECTION 4.    The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the location of any and all Article 9 Collateral of the New Subsidiary, (b) set forth on Schedule II attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of all the Pledged Securities of the New Subsidiary and (c) set forth under its signature hereto, is the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.


 


SECTION 5.    Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.


 


SECTION 6.    THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE DOMESTIC SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE).


 


SECTION 7.    Any provision of this Supplement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability in such jurisdiction of the remaining provisions hereof and of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.


 




  





  











  






 


SECTION 8.    All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.


 


SECTION 9.    The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Administrative Agent.


 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
