This Agreement is made and given to secure, and shall secure, the prompt payment and performance of (a) any and all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, to the Secured Parties, and to any of them individually, under or in connection with or evidenced by the First Lien Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all obligations evidenced by the Notes (if any) of the Borrower heretofore or hereafter issued under the First Lien Loan Agreement, and all obligations of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, with respect to any Hedging Liability, all obligations of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, with respect to any Funds Transfer Liability, Deposit Account Liability and Data Processing Obligations, and all obligations of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, arising under any guaranty issued by it relating to the foregoing or any part thereof, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising (and whether arising before or after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy and including all interest accrued after the petition date), due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and howsoever evidenced, held or acquired and (b) any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses of litigation or preparation therefor (but under no circumstances shall the Debtors be obligated to pay for more than one firm of outside counsel, and no Debtor shall be obligated to pay for any in-house counsel except, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction, to the Collateral Agent, or the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, taken as a whole, as the case may be, and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected persons similarly situated, taken as a whole) suffered or incurred by the Secured Parties, and any of them individually, in collecting or enforcing any of such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities or in realizing on or protecting or preserving any security therefor, including, without limitation, the lien and security interest granted hereby (all of the indebtedness, obligations, liabilities, expenses, and charges described above being hereinafter referred to as the “Secured Obligations”).

 

Section 4.                    Covenants, Agreements, Representations and Warranties.  (a)  Each Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that:

 

(i)                      Each Debtor is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.  Each Debtor is the sole and lawful owner of its Collateral, and has full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform each and all of the matters and things herein provided for.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the observance and performance of each of the matters and things herein set forth, will not (i) violate any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon such Debtor, (ii) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of the organizational documents (e.g., charter, articles of incorporation or by-laws, articles of association or operating agreement, partnership agreement or other similar document) of such Debtor, (iii) contravene or constitute a default under any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting such Debtor or any of its Property, in each case, where such contravention or default, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of such Debtor other than the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Liens,

 

4

 

except with respect to clauses (i), (iii) and (iv), to the extent, individually or in the aggregate, that such violation, contravention, breach, conflict, default or creation or imposition of any Lien could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(ii)                   As of the Closing Date, each Debtor’s respective chief executive office is at the location listed under Column 2 on Schedule A attached hereto opposite such Debtor’s name.

 

(iii)                As of the Closing Date, each Debtor’s legal name, jurisdiction of organization and organizational number (if any) are correctly set forth under Column 1 on Schedule A of this Agreement.  As of the Closing Date, no Debtor has transacted business at any time during the immediately preceding five-year period, and does not currently transact business, under any other legal names other than the prior legal names set forth on Schedule B attached hereto.

 

(iv)               Schedule C attached hereto contains a true, complete, and current listing of all patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights owned by each of the Debtors as of the date hereof that are registered or the subject of a pending application with any United States federal governmental authority.  Each Debtor owns or possesses rights to use all patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, rights with respect to the foregoing, trade secrets, know-how, and other intellectual property rights which are necessary to the present conduct of its business, in each case, without any known conflict with the rights of others which, or the failure to obtain which, as the case may be, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  To the knowledge of the Debtors, no event has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any such rights, except to the extent that such revocation or termination could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and, to the knowledge of the Debtors, and except as set forth on Schedule H attached hereto, the Debtors are not liable to any person for infringement, misappropriation or violation under applicable law with respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations, except to the extent that such liability could not reasonably be expect to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(v)                  Schedule E attached hereto contains a true, complete and current listing of all Commercial Tort Claims held by the Debtors as of the date hereof, each described by referring to a specific incident giving rise to the claim.

 

(b)              Each Debtor hereby covenants and agrees with the Secured Parties that:

 

(i)                      Each Debtor shall provide the Collateral Agent prompt written notice of a change of the location of such Debtor’s chief executive office; provided that each Debtor shall at all times maintain its chief executive office in the United States of America.

 

(ii)                   The applicable Debtor shall provide the  Collateral Agent with fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period as to which Collateral Agent may agree) prior written notice

 

5

 

of any change to any Debtor’s jurisdiction of organization.  Upon any change to the legal name of any Debtor the applicable Debtor shall provide written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent within fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as to which Collateral Agent may agree) after the occurrence thereof.

 

(iii)                Each Debtor shall take all commercially reasonably actions necessary to defend the Collateral against any claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest in the Collateral other than a Permitted Lien adverse to any of the Secured Parties.

 

(iv)               Each Debtor will perform in all material respects its obligations under any contract or other agreement constituting part of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that the Secured Parties have no responsibility to perform such obligations, except to the extent that any nonperformance could not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(v)                  Each Debtor will insure its Collateral with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insuring against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business of the Borrower and containing loss payable clauses to the Collateral Agent as its interests may appear (and, if the Collateral Agent requests, naming the Collateral Agent as an additional insured therein).  Each Debtor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent upon its reasonable request (but not more than twice per fiscal year in the absence of an Event of Default) reasonably detailed information as to the insurance so carried.  All premiums on such insurance shall be paid by the Debtors.  All insurance required hereby, to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, shall provide that any loss shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of the relevant Debtor, shall provide that no cancellation thereof shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days (or, in the case of non-payment, ten (10) days) after receipt by the relevant Debtor and the Collateral Agent of written notice thereof, and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in all other respects.  Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, at the Collateral Agent’s option, to adjust, compromise, and settle any losses in respect of any Collateral under any insurance afforded at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, and such Debtor does hereby irrevocably (until the Termination Date) constitute the Collateral Agent, its officers, agents, and attorneys, as such Debtor’s attorneys-in-fact, with full power and authority after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default to effect such adjustment, compromise, and/or settlement and to endorse any drafts drawn by an insurer of the Collateral or any part thereof and to do everything necessary to carry out such purposes and to receive and receipt for any unearned premiums due under policies of such insurance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Collateral Agent elects to adjust, compromise or settle losses as aforesaid, any adjustment, compromise, and/or settlement of any losses under any insurance shall be made by the relevant Debtor subject to the final approval by the Collateral Agent in the case of losses exceeding $5,000,000.00.  All insurance proceeds shall be subject to the lien and security interest of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

(vi)               At any time after and during the continuance of any Event of Default, if any Collateral is in the possession or control of any agents or processors of a Debtor and the Collateral Agent so requests, such Debtor agrees to notify such agents or processors in writing of the Collateral Agent’s lien and security interest therein and instruct them to hold all such Collateral for the Collateral Agent’s account and subject to the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

 

(vii)            At any time after and during the continuation of any Event of Default, each Debtor agrees from time to time to deliver to the Collateral Agent such evidence of the existence, identity, and location of its Collateral and of its availability as collateral security pursuant hereto (including, without limitation, schedules describing all Receivables created or acquired by such Debtor, copies of customer invoices or the equivalent and original receipts for all services rendered by it), in each case as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.  At any time after and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to verify all or any part of the Collateral in any manner, and through any medium, which the Collateral Agent considers appropriate and reasonable, and each Debtor agrees to furnish all reasonable assistance and information, and perform any reasonable acts, which the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith.

 

(viii)         Upon any new registration, or application for registration, for any intellectual property rights constituting Collateral granted to or filed or acquired by any Debtor after the Closing Date, the Debtor shall, on or prior to the later to occur of (i) thirty (30) days following such grant, filing or acquisition and (ii) the date of the next required delivery of the certificate required by Section 6.1(e) of the First Lien Loan Agreement (the “Compliance Certificate”) following the date of such grant, filing or acquisition (or such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent), submit to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Schedule C to reflect such additional rights (provided any Debtor’s failure to do so shall not impair the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein).

 

(ix)                 If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $5,000,000.00 individually, the Debtor shall, on or prior to the later to occur of (i) thirty (30) days following such acquisition and (ii) the date of the next required delivery of the Compliance Certificate following the date of such acquisition (or such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent), execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule G, or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent (provided any Debtor’s failure to do so shall not impair the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein).

 

(x)                    Each Debtor agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such further agreements, assignments, instruments, and documents, and to do all such other things, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary to assure the Collateral Agent of its lien and security interest hereunder, including, without limitation, such agreements with respect to patents, trademarks, copyrights, and similar intellectual property rights as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably require to

 

7

 

comply with the filing requirements of the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office; provided that (x) the Collateral Agent shall not require the taking of a Lien on, or require the perfection of any Lien granted in, those assets as to which the cost of obtaining or perfecting such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other tax or expenses relating to such Lien) outweighs the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security afforded thereby as reasonably determined by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent and (y) no control agreements shall be required.  The Collateral Agent may order lien searches from time to time against any Debtor and the Collateral, and the Debtors shall promptly reimburse the Collateral Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such lien searches (which, in the absence of an Event of Default, shall not be ordered more than once per year).  In the event for any reason the law of any jurisdiction other than New York becomes or is applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof, or to any of the Secured Obligations, each Debtor agrees to execute and deliver all such agreements, assignments, instruments, and documents and to do all such other things as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, and enforce the security interest of the Collateral Agent under the law of such other jurisdiction; provided that in no event shall any foreign law security or pledge agreements be required.  Each Debtor agrees to mark its books and records to reflect the lien and security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral.

 

(xi)                 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may, at its option, but only following five (5) Business Days’ written notice to each Debtor of its intent to do so, expend such sums as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable to perform the obligations of the Debtors with respect to the Collateral under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent that any Debtor fails to do so, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, Liens and encumbrances that do not constitute Permitted Liens, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claims that do not constitute Permitted Liens, and all other expenditures which the Collateral Agent may be compelled to make by operation of law or which the Collateral Agent may make by agreement or otherwise for the protection of the security hereof that do not constitute Permitted Liens.  All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Debtors within thirty (30) days after demand, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations secured hereunder, and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days  for the actual number of days elapsed) equal to 2% plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans (such rate per annum as so determined being hereinafter referred to as the “Default Rate”).  No such performance of any obligation by the Collateral Agent on behalf of a Debtor, and no such advancement or expenditure therefor, shall relieve any Debtor of any default under the terms of this Agreement or in any way obligate any Secured Party to take any further or future action with respect thereto.  The Collateral Agent, in making any payment hereby authorized, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim.  The Collateral Agent, in

 

8

 

performing any act hereunder, shall be the sole judge of whether the relevant Debtor is required to perform the same under the terms of this Agreement.

 

Section 5.                    Special Provisions Re: Receivables.  (a)                                             Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any Receivable arises out of a contract with the United States of America, or any state or political subdivision thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, each Debtor agrees to promptly so notify the Collateral Agent and, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, execute whatever instruments and documents are required by the Collateral Agent in order that such Receivable shall be assigned to the Collateral Agent and that proper notice of such assignment shall be given under the federal Assignment of Claims Act (or any successor statute) or any similar state or local statute, as the case may be.

 

(b)              If any Debtor shall at any time after the Closing Date hold or acquire any Instrument or Chattel Paper evidencing any Receivable or other item of Collateral, the Debtor shall, on or prior to the later to occur of (i) thirty (30) days following such acquisition and (ii) the date of the next required delivery of the Compliance Certificate following the date of such acquisition (or such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent), cause such Instrument or tangible Chattel Paper to be pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Debtor shall not be required to deliver any such Instrument or tangible Chattel Paper if and only so long as the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper held by the Debtors and not delivered to the Collateral Agent hereunder is less than $5,000,000.00 at any one time outstanding.

 

Section 6.                    Collection of Receivables.  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Debtor shall make collection of its Receivables and may use the same to carry on its business in accordance with customary business practice and otherwise subject to the terms hereof.

 

(b)              Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, whether or not the Collateral Agent has exercised any of its other rights under other provisions of this Section 6, in the event the Collateral Agent makes a written request for any Debtor to do so:

 

(i)                      all Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper at any time constituting part of the Receivables (including any postdated checks) shall, upon receipt by such Debtor, be promptly endorsed to and deposited with Collateral Agent; and/or

 

(ii)                   such Debtor shall instruct all customers and account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Receivables or any other Collateral to a lockbox or lockboxes under the sole custody and control of the Collateral Agent and which are maintained at one or more post offices selected by the Collateral Agent.

 

(c)               Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, whether or not the Collateral Agent has exercised any of its other rights under the other provisions of this Section 6, the Collateral Agent or its designee may notify the relevant Debtor’s customers and

 

9

 

account debtors at any time that Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent or of the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein, and either in its own name, or such Debtor’s name, or both, demand, collect (including, without limitation, through a lockbox analogous to that described in Section 6(b)(ii) hereof), receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any or all amounts due or to become due on Receivables, and in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion file any claim or take any other action or proceeding which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary to protect and realize upon the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Receivables or any other Collateral.

 

(d)              Any proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral transmitted to or otherwise received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the provisions of Sections 6(b) or 6(c) hereof may be handled and administered by the Collateral Agent in and through a remittance account or accounts maintained at the Collateral Agent or by the Collateral Agent at a commercial bank or banks selected by the Collateral Agent with reasonable care (collectively the “Depositary Banks” and individually a “Depositary Bank”), and each Debtor acknowledges that the maintenance of such remittance accounts by the Collateral Agent is solely for the Collateral Agent’s convenience.  The Collateral Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, apply all or any part of any proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral received by it from any source to the payment of the Secured Obligations (whether or not then due and payable), such applications to be made pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Loan Agreement, and at such intervals as the Collateral Agent may from time to time in its discretion determine.  The Collateral Agent need not apply or give credit for any item included in proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral until the Depositary Bank has received final payment therefor at its office in cash or final solvent credits current at the site of deposit reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank as such.  However, if the Collateral Agent does permit credit to be given for any item prior to a Depositary Bank receiving final payment therefor and such Depositary Bank fails to receive such final payment or an item is charged back to the Collateral Agent or any Depositary Bank for any reason, the Collateral Agent may at its election in either instance charge the amount of such item back against any such remittance accounts.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall promptly return to the applicable Debtor all proceeds of Collateral which the Collateral Agent has not applied to the Secured Obligations as provided above from the remittance account, as well as all Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) hereof.  Each Debtor hereby indemnifies the Secured Parties from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, and all reasonable costs, expenses, charges, and attorneys’ fees (but limited, in the case of attorney’s fees, to one firm of outside counsel, and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction, to the Collateral Agent, or the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, taken as a whole, as the case may be, and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected persons similarly situated, taken as a whole) suffered or incurred by any Secured Party because of the maintenance of the foregoing arrangements; provided,  however, that no Debtor shall be required to indemnify any Secured Party for any of the foregoing to the extent they (i) arise from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of, or a material breach of this Agreement by, the person seeking to be indemnified to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment or (ii) arise out of any dispute solely among Secured Parties (other than in connection with the

 

10

 

Collateral Agent acting in its capacity as Collateral Agent, solely to the extent such indemnification would not be denied pursuant to clause (i)) that a court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final and non-appealable decision did not arise out of any act or omission of any Debtor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Secured Party shall be obligated to refund and return any and all amounts paid by any Debtor to such Secured Party for fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Secured Party is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.  The Secured Parties shall have no liability or responsibility to any Debtor for the Collateral Agent or any Depositary Bank accepting any check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement whatsoever or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance.

 

Section 8.                    Special Provisions Re:  Investment Property and Deposits.  (a) Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given the Debtors at least three (3) Business Days’ notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this Agreement:

 

(i)                           each Debtor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and/or consensual powers pertaining to its Investment Property, or any part thereof, for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the First Lien Loan Agreement or any other document evidencing or otherwise relating to any Secured Obligations; and

 

(ii)                        each Debtor shall be entitled to receive and retain all cash dividends paid upon or in respect of its Investment Property subject to the lien and security interest of this Agreement.

 

(b)                        All Investment Property (including all securities, certificated or uncertificated, securities accounts, and commodity accounts) of the Debtors as of the Closing Date that constitutes Collateral is listed and identified on Schedule D attached hereto and made a part hereof.  If any Debtor shall at any time after the Closing Date hold or acquire any other Investment Property constituting Collateral, the Debtor shall, on or prior to the later to occur of (i) thirty (30) days following such acquisition and (ii) the date of the next required delivery of the Compliance Certificate following the date of such acquisition (or such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent), submit to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Schedule D to reflect such additional rights (provided any Debtor’s failure to do so shall not impair the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein) and deliver to the Collateral Agent certificates  for all certificated securities constituting Investment Property and part of the Collateral hereunder, all duly endorsed in blank for transfer or accompanied by an appropriate assignment or assignments or an appropriate undated stock power or powers, in every case sufficient to transfer title thereto, including, without limitation, all stock received in respect of a stock dividend or resulting from a split-up, revision or reclassification of the Investment Property or any part thereof or received in addition to, in substitution of or in exchange for the Investment Property or any part thereof as a result of a merger, consolidation or otherwise.  With respect to any uncertificated securities or any Investment Property held by a securities intermediary, commodity intermediary, or other financial intermediary of any kind, at the Collateral Agent’s request after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (or at any time with respect to uncertificated

 

11

 

securities or Investment Property issued (i) by any Guarantor to Borrower or (ii) by Borrower to FTPS Holding, LLC),  the relevant Debtor shall execute and deliver, and shall cause any such issuer or intermediary to execute and deliver, an agreement among such Debtor, the Collateral Agent, and such issuer or intermediary in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent which provides, among other things, for the issuer’s or intermediary’s agreement that it will comply with such entitlement orders, and apply any value distributed on account of any Investment Property, as directed by the Collateral Agent without further consent by such Debtor.  The Collateral Agent may, upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Debtors at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, cause to be transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees any and all of the Investment Property hereunder.

 

(c)                          Each Debtor represents that on the date of this Agreement none of its Investment Property consists of margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) except to the extent such Debtor has delivered to the Collateral Agent a duly executed and completed Form U-1 with respect to such stock.  If at any time the Investment Property or any part thereof consists of margin stock, the relevant Debtor shall promptly so notify the Collateral Agent and deliver to the Collateral Agent a duly executed and completed Form U-1 and such other instruments and documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

 

(d)                         All Deposit Accounts of the Debtors as of the Closing Date that constitute Collateral are listed and identified (by account number and depository institution) on Schedule D attached hereto and made a part hereof.  If any Debtor shall at any time after the Closing Date acquire any new Deposit Accounts constituting Collateral, the Debtor shall, on or prior to the later to occur of (i) thirty (30) days following such acquisition and (ii) the date of the next required delivery of the Compliance Certificate following the date of such acquisition (or such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent), submit to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Schedule D to reflect such additional accounts (provided any Debtor’s failure to do so shall not impair the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein).

 

Section 9.                    Power of Attorney.  In addition to any other powers of attorney contained herein, each Debtor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, its nominee, or any other person whom the Collateral Agent may designate as such Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default to sign such Debtor’s name on verifications of Receivables and other Collateral; to send requests for verification of Collateral to such Debtor’s customers, account debtors, and other obligors; to endorse such Debtor’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts, and any other forms of payment or security that may come into the Collateral Agent’s possession; to endorse the Collateral in blank or to the order of the Collateral Agent or its nominee; to sign such Debtor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Collateral, on claims to enforce collection of any Collateral, on notices to and drafts against customers and account debtors and other obligors, on schedules and assignments of Collateral, on notices of assignment and on public records; to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Debtor’s mail to an address designated by the Collateral Agent; to receive, open, and dispose of all mail addressed to such Debtor; and to do all things reasonably necessary to carry out this

 

12

 

Agreement.  Each Debtor hereby ratifies and approves all acts of any such attorney and agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor any such attorney will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.  The foregoing powers of attorney, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Termination Date.

 

Section 10.             Defaults and Remedies.  (a) The occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition specified as an “Event of Default” under the First Lien Loan Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder.

 

(b)                         Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights or remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further the Collateral Agent may, without demand and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each Debtor hereby waives to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, at any securities exchange or broker’s board or at the Collateral Agent’s office or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent deems advisable, in its reasonable discretion.  In the exercise of any such remedies, the Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral as a unit even though the sales price thereof may be in excess of the amount remaining unpaid on the Secured Obligations.  Also, if less than all the Collateral is sold, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to marshal or apportion the part of the Collateral so sold as between the Debtors, or any of them, but may sell and deliver any or all of the Collateral without regard to which of the Debtors are the owners thereof.  In addition to all other sums due any Secured Party hereunder, each Debtor shall pay the Secured Parties all costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs (but under no circumstances shall the Debtors be obligated to pay for more than one firm of outside counsel, and no Debtor shall be obligated to pay for any in-house counsel), in obtaining, liquidating or enforcing payment of Collateral or the Secured Obligations or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against any Secured Party or any Debtor concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Agreement or the Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor statute).  Any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Debtors in accordance with Section 14(b) hereof at least ten (10) Business Days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice; provided, however, no notification need be given to a Debtor if such Debtor has signed, after the Event of Default hereunder that is then continuing has occurred, a statement renouncing any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given.  Any Secured Party may be the purchaser at any public sale.  Each Debtor hereby waives all of its rights of redemption from any such sale.  The Collateral Agent may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the sale

 

13

 

was postponed or the Collateral Agent may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.  The Collateral Agent has no obligation to prepare the Collateral for sale.  The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral or any part thereof, including disclaimers of any warranties of title or the like, and each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the absence of such warranties shall not render the disposition commercially unreasonable.

 

(c)                          Without in any way limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take physical possession of any and all of the Collateral, the right for that purpose to enter without legal process any premises where the Collateral may be found (provided such entry be done lawfully), and the right to maintain such possession on the relevant Debtor’s premises or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other places as the Collateral Agent may desire, in each case, subject to the terms of any lease covering the relevant premises, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to direct any intermediary at any time holding any Investment Property or other Collateral, or any issuer thereof, to deliver such Collateral or any part thereof to the Collateral Agent and/or to liquidate such Collateral or any part thereof and deliver the proceeds thereof to the Collateral Agent, and (iii) each Debtor shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent.  If the Collateral Agent exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, each Debtor shall also at its expense perform any and all other steps requested by the Collateral Agent to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security interest of the Collateral Agent, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining Collateral records.

 

(d)                         Without in any way limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, all rights of the Debtors to exercise the voting and/or consensual powers which they are entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) hereof and/or to receive and retain the distributions which they are entitled to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof, shall, at the option of the Collateral Agent upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Debtors, cease and thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, shall then be entitled solely and exclusively to exercise all voting and other consensual powers pertaining to the Investment Property and/or to receive and retain the distributions which such Debtor would otherwise have been authorized to retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof and shall then be entitled solely and exclusively to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof including, without limitation, the rights to exchange, at its discretion, all Investment Property or any part thereof upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the respective issuer thereof or upon the exercise by or on behalf of any such issuer or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Investment Property and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver the Investment Property or any part thereof with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine.  In the event the Collateral Agent in good faith believes any of the Collateral constitutes restricted

 

14

 

securities within the meaning of any applicable securities laws, any disposition thereof in compliance with such laws shall not render the disposition commercially unreasonable.  To the extent that the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (d) has been given, after all Events of Default have been cured or waived, (i) each Debtor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that such Debtor would have otherwise been entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 8(a)(i) hereof and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each applicable Debtor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Debtor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof and that have not been applied to the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

 

(e)                          Without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Parties, effective and exercisable solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, a royalty-free, irrevocable (solely during the continuation of an Event of Default), non-exclusive, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable license and right to use, in connection with any foreclosure or other realization by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties on all or any part of the Collateral to the extent permitted by law and this Agreement, all of such Debtor’s patents, patent applications, patent licenses (excluding any such patent license that by its terms is prohibited from being licensed as set forth in this Section 10(e)), trademarks, trademark registrations, trademark licenses (excluding any such trademark license that by its terms is prohibited from being licensed as set forth in this Section 10(e)), trade names and other intellectual property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Debtor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license 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 right to prosecute and maintain all intellectual property and the right to sue for past infringement of the intellectual property.  The license and right granted to the Secured Parties hereby shall be without any royalty or fee or charge whatsoever with respect to fees payable by the Secured Parties to Debtors.

 

(f)                            The powers conferred upon the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect their interest in the Collateral and shall not impose on them any duty to exercise such powers.  The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, consisting of similar type assets, it being understood, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking any action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral, or (iii) initiating any action to protect the Collateral or any part thereof against the possibility of a decline in market value.  This Agreement constitutes an assignment of rights only and not an assignment of any duties or obligations of the Debtors in any way related to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or obligation to discharge any such duty or obligation.  Neither any Secured Party nor any party acting as attorney for any Secured Party shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.

 

15

 

(g)                         Failure by the Collateral Agent to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or any other agreement between any Debtor and the Collateral Agent or provided by law, or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver; and no waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and otherwise complies with the requirements set forth in Section 10.11 of the First Lien Loan Agreement and then only to the extent specifically stated.  The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which any Secured Party may have.

 

Section 11.             Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds and avails of the Collateral at any time received by the Collateral Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default shall, when received by the Collateral Agent in cash or its equivalent, be applied by the Collateral Agent in reduction of, or held as collateral security for, the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Loan Agreement.  The Debtors shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for any deficiency.  Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the non-contingent Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Borrower, as agent for the Debtors, or to whomsoever the Collateral Agent reasonably determines is lawfully entitled thereto.

 

Section 12.             Continuing Agreement.  This Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the non-contingent Secured Obligations, both for principal and interest, have been fully paid and satisfied and each commitment by the Secured Parties to extend any indebtedness to the Debtors under the First Lien Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents shall have expired or otherwise terminated (such date, the “Termination Date”).  Upon the Termination Date, the pledge of all Collateral hereunder will terminate and all liens and security interests hereunder shall automatically be released.  In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 12 or as required by any other provision of this Agreement or the First Lien Loan Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Debtor, at such Debtor’s expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents that such Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.

 

Section 13.             The Collateral Agent.  In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the rights, authority, privileges, and immunities provided in the First Lien Loan Agreement, all of which provisions of said First Lien Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9 thereof) are incorporated by reference herein with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety.  The Collateral Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the Secured Parties or any other holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the liens and security interests granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

 

Section 14.             Miscellaneous.  (a) This Agreement may only be waived or modified in writing in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.11 of the First Lien Loan Agreement.  This Agreement shall create a continuing lien on and security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Debtor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their

 

16

 

successors and permitted assigns; provided,  however, that no Debtor may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of the First Lien Loan Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person subject to the requirements of Section 10.10 of the First Lien Loan Agreement, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise.

 

(b)                         All notices and other communications hereunder shall comply with Section 10.8 of the First Lien Loan Agreement; provided that, the address information for each Debtor shall be that expressed for the Borrower in such Section.

 

(c)                          Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable.

 

(d)                         The lien and security interest herein created and provided for stand as direct and primary security for the Secured Obligations of the Borrower arising under or otherwise relating to the First Lien Loan Agreement as well as for the other Secured Obligations secured hereby.  No application of any sums received by the Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral or any disposition thereof to the reduction of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof shall in any manner entitle any Debtor to any right, title or interest in or to the Secured Obligations or any collateral or security therefor, whether by subrogation or otherwise, unless and until all Secured Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied.  Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the lien and security interest hereby created and provided are absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of any Secured Party or any other holder of any Secured Obligations, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien and security interest hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by any Secured Party or any other holder of any Secured Obligations of any other security for or guarantors upon any of the Secured Obligations or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of any Secured Party or any other holder of any of the Secured Obligations to realize upon or protect any of the Secured Obligations or any collateral or security therefor.  The lien and security interest hereof shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by (and the Secured Parties, without notice to anyone, are hereby authorized to make from time to time) any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, release, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, change in, modification or disposition of any of the Secured Obligations or of any collateral or security therefor, or of any guaranty thereof, or of any instrument or agreement setting forth the terms and conditions pertaining to any of the foregoing.  The Secured Parties may at their discretion at any time grant credit to the Borrower without notice to the other Debtors in such amounts and on such terms as the Secured Parties may elect without in any manner impairing the lien and security interest created and provided for.  In order to realize

 

17

 

hereon and to exercise the rights granted the Secured Parties hereunder and under applicable law, there shall be no obligation on the part of any Secured Party or any other holder of any Secured Obligations at any time to first resort for payment to the Borrower or any other Debtor or to any guaranty of the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or to resort to any other collateral, security, property, liens or any other rights or remedies whatsoever, and the Secured Parties shall have the right to enforce this Agreement against any Debtor or its Collateral irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps seeking resort to or realization upon or from any of the foregoing are pending.

 

(e)                          In the event the Secured Parties shall at any time in their discretion permit a substitution of Debtors hereunder or a party shall wish to become a Debtor hereunder, such substituted or additional Debtor shall, upon executing an agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule F, become a party hereto and be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as though such Debtor had originally executed this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution, in lieu of the Debtor being replaced.  Any such agreement shall contain information as to such Debtor necessary to update Schedules A, B, C, D, and E hereto with respect to it.  No such substitution shall be effective absent the written consent of the Collateral Agent nor shall it in any manner affect the obligations of the other Debtors hereunder.

 

(f)                            This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all together one and the same instrument.  Delivery of executed counterparts of this Agreement by telecopy or by e-mail of an Adobe portable document format file (also known as a “PDF” file) shall be effective as originals.  Each Debtor acknowledges that this Agreement is and shall be effective upon its execution and delivery by such Debtor to the Collateral Agent, and it shall not be necessary for the Collateral Agent to execute this Agreement or any other acceptance hereof or otherwise to signify or express its acceptance hereof.

 

(g)                         No Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law in connection with this Agreement for the enforcement of any remedy under or upon this Agreement; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Secured Parties (other than the Collateral Agent) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any right hereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained by the Collateral Agent in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

 

(h)                         THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5 -1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any provision hereof.

 

(i)                             Each Debtor hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in

 

18

 

New York City in the borough of Manhattan, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Debtor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient form.  EACH DEBTOR AND, BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Fifth Third Processing Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC (“GS Lending Partners”), as Administrative Agent (GS Lending Partners in such capacity being referred to herein as the “Administrative Agent”), and the other banks and financial institutions party thereto are parties to a First Lien Loan Agreement dated as of November 3, 2010 (as amended, restated, amended and restated or otherwise modified, the “First Lien Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which GS Lending Partners, Fifth Third Bank as L/C Issuer (“L/C Issuer”) and other banks and financial institutions from time to time party to the First Lien Loan Agreement have provided financial accommodations to the Borrower (GS Lending Partners, in its individual capacity and such other banks, financial institutions and lenders being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Lenders” and individually as a “Lender”).

The Borrower and one or more of the Guarantors may from time to time be liable to the Lenders and/or their Affiliates with respect to Hedging Liability and/or Funds Transfer Liability, Deposit Account Liability and Data Processing Obligations as such terms are defined in the First Lien Loan Agreement (the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, together with any Affiliates of the Lenders with respect to the Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer Liability, Deposit Account Liability and Data Processing Obligations, as such terms are defined in the First Lien Loan Agreement, being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Creditors” and individually as a “Guaranteed Creditor”).

 

C.         The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer to extend such credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery of this First Lien Guaranty.

 

D.         The Borrower is a direct subsidiary of Holdco, and the Subsidiary Guarantors are direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the Borrower; and the Borrower provides each of the Guarantors with financial, management, administrative, and/or technical support which enables the Guarantors to conduct their businesses in an orderly and efficient manner in the ordinary course.

 

E.         Each Guarantor will benefit, directly or indirectly, from credit and other financial accommodations extended by the Guaranteed Creditors to the Borrower.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

 

1.          All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms have in the First Lien Loan Agreement.

 

2.          Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors, the due and punctual payment when due (subject to any applicable grace periods provided for in the First Lien Loan Agreement) of (a) any and all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors, and to any of them individually, under or in connection with or evidenced by the First Lien Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all obligations evidenced by the Notes (if any) of the Borrower heretofore or hereafter issued under the First Lien Loan Agreement, all Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower and all other obligations of the Borrower under all Applications for Letters of Credit, all obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors, and of any of them individually, with respect to any Hedging Liability, and all obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors, and of any of them individually, with respect to any Funds Transfer Liability, Deposit Account Liability and Data Processing Obligations, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising (and whether arising before or after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy and including all interest accrued after the petition date), due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and howsoever evidenced, held or acquired and (b) any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses of litigation or preparation therefor (but under no circumstances shall the Guarantors be obligated to pay for more than one firm of outside counsel, and no Guarantor shall be obligated to pay for any in-house counsel except, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction, to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors, taken as a whole, as the case may be, and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected persons similarly situated, taken as a whole), suffered or incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors, and any of them individually, in collecting or enforcing any of such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities or in realizing on or protecting or preserving any security or guarantees therefore, including, without limitation, this First Lien Guaranty.  The indebtedness, obligations and liabilities described in the immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) are hereinafter referred to as the “indebtedness hereby guaranteed”.  In case of failure by the Borrower or the Guarantors punctually to pay any indebtedness hereby guaranteed, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Borrower or other Guarantors.  All payments hereunder by any Guarantor shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars without setoff, counterclaim or other defense or withholding or deduction of any nature.  Notwithstanding anything in this First Lien Guaranty to the contrary, the right of recovery against a Guarantor under this First Lien Guaranty shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this First Lien Guaranty void or voidable under applicable law, including fraudulent conveyance law.

 

3.          Each Guarantor agrees that, upon demand, such Guarantor will then pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors the full amount of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed that is then due (subject to the limitation on the right of recovery

 

2

 

from such Guarantor pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2 above) whether or not any one or more of the other Guarantors shall then or thereafter pay any amount whatsoever in respect to their obligations hereunder.

 

4.          Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor will not exercise or enforce any right of exoneration, contribution, reimbursement, recourse or subrogation available to such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor liable for payment of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, or as to any security therefor, unless and until the full amount (other than contingent obligations) owing to the Guaranteed Creditors of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed has been fully paid and satisfied and the commitments of the Guaranteed Creditors to extend credit to the Borrower or any one of them under the First Lien Loan Agreement shall have expired or terminated.  The payment by any Guarantor of any amount or amounts to the Guaranteed Creditors pursuant hereto shall not in any way entitle any such Guarantor, either at law, in equity or otherwise, to any right, title or interest (whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) in and to the indebtedness hereby guaranteed or any part thereof or any collateral security therefor or any other rights or remedies in any way relating thereto or in and to any amounts theretofor, then or thereafter paid or applicable to the payment thereof howsoever such payment may be made and from whatsoever source such payment may be derived unless and until the full amount (other than contingent obligations) owing to the Guaranteed Creditors of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed has been fully paid and satisfied and the commitments of the Guaranteed Creditors to extend credit to the Borrower or any one of them under the First Lien Loan Agreement shall have expired or terminated, and unless and until such payment in full and termination, any payments made by any Guarantor hereunder and any other payments from whatsoever source derived on account of or applicable to the indebtedness hereby guaranteed or any part thereof shall be held and taken to be merely payments in gross to the Guaranteed Creditors reducing pro tanto the indebtedness hereby guaranteed.

 

5.          Subject to the terms and conditions of the First Lien Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 10.10 thereof, each Guaranteed Creditor may, without any notice whatsoever to any of the Guarantors, sell, assign, or transfer all of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, or any part thereof, or grant participations therein, and in that event each and every immediate and successive assignee, transferee, or holder of or participant in all or any part of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, shall have the right through the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 17 hereof to enforce this First Lien Guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such assignee, transferee, holder or participant, as fully as if such assignee, transferee, or holder or participant were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers and benefits; but each Guaranteed Creditor through the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 17 hereof shall have an unimpaired right to enforce this First Lien Guaranty for its own benefit or any such participant, as to so much of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed that it has not sold, assigned or transferred.

 

6.          This First Lien Guaranty is a continuing, absolute and unconditional First Lien Guaranty, and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed shall be fully paid and satisfied and the commitments of the Guaranteed Creditors to extend credit to the Borrower or any one of them under the First Lien Loan Agreement shall have expired or terminated.  The Guaranteed Creditors may at any time or from time to time release

 

3

 

any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder or effect any compromise with any Guarantor and no such release or compromise shall in any manner impair or otherwise affect the obligations hereunder of the other Guarantors.  No release, compromise, or discharge of any one or more of the Guarantors shall release, compromise or discharge the obligations of the other Guarantors hereunder.

 

7.          In case of the dissolution, liquidation or insolvency (howsoever evidenced) of, or the institution of bankruptcy or receivership proceedings against the Borrower or any Guarantor, in each case, that would permit or cause the acceleration of the indebtedness under the First Lien Loan Agreement, all of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed which is then existing may be declared by the Administrative Agent immediately due or accrued and payable from the Guarantors.  All payments received from the Borrower or on account of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed from whatsoever source, shall be taken and applied as payment in gross, and this First Lien Guaranty shall apply to and secure any ultimate balance that shall remain owing to the Guaranteed Creditors.

 

8.          The liability hereunder shall in no way be affected or impaired by (and the Guaranteed Creditors are hereby expressly authorized to make from time to time, without notice to any of the Guarantors), any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, release, renewal, extension, impairment, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, change in, modification or other disposition of any of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, either express or implied, or of any Loan Document or any other contract or contracts evidencing any thereof, or of any security or collateral therefor or any guaranty thereof.  The liability hereunder shall in no way be affected or impaired by any acceptance by the Guaranteed Creditors of any security for or other guarantors upon any of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of the Guaranteed Creditors to realize upon or protect any of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, or any collateral or security therefor (including, without limitation, impairment of collateral and failure to perfect security interests in any collateral), or to exercise any lien upon or right of appropriation of any moneys, credits or property of the Borrower or any Guarantor, possessed by any of the Guaranteed Creditors, toward the liquidation of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, or by any application of payments or credits thereon.  The Guaranteed Creditors shall have the exclusive right to determine how, when and what application of payments and credits, if any, shall be made on said indebtedness hereby guaranteed, or any part of same.  In order to hold any Guarantor liable hereunder, there shall be no obligation on the part of the Guaranteed Creditors, at any time, to resort for payment to the Borrower or to any other Guarantor, or to any other person, its property or estate, or resort to any collateral, security, property, liens or other rights or remedies whatsoever, and the Guaranteed Creditors shall have the right to enforce this First Lien Guaranty against any Guarantor irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps are pending seeking resort to or realization upon or from any of the foregoing are pending.

 

9.          In the event the Guaranteed Creditors shall at any time in their discretion permit a substitution of Guarantors hereunder or a party shall wish to become Guarantor hereunder, such substituted or additional Guarantor shall, upon executing an agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, become a party hereto and be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as though such Guarantor had originally executed this First Lien Guaranty and in

 

4

 

the case of a substitution, in lieu of the Guarantor being replaced.  No such substitution shall be effective absent the written consent delivered in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Loan Agreement, nor shall it in any manner affect the obligations of the other Guarantors hereunder.

 

10.        All diligence in collection or protection, and all presentment, demand, protest and/or notice, as to any and everyone, whether or not the Borrower or the Guarantors or others, of dishonor and of default and of non-payment and with respect to the creation and existence of any and all of said indebtedness hereby guaranteed, and of any security and collateral therefor, and of the acceptance of this First Lien Guaranty, and of any and all extensions of credit and indulgence hereunder, are expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

11.        To the extent permitted by law, the Guarantors waive any and all defenses, claims and discharges of the Borrower, or any other obligor or guarantor, pertaining to the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, except the defense of discharge by payment in full.  To the extent permitted by law, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors will not assert, plead or enforce against the Guaranteed Creditors any defense of waiver, release, discharge in bankruptcy, statute of limitations, res judicata, statue of frauds, anti-deficiency statute, incapacity, minority, usury, illegality or unenforceability which may be available to the Borrower or any other person liable in respect of any of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, or any set-off available against the Guaranteed Creditors to the Borrower or any such other person, whether or not on account of a related transaction.  Subject to the last sentence of Section 2 above, the Guarantors agree that the Guarantors shall be and remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure or other realization on any lien or security interest securing the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, whether or not the liability of the Borrower or any other obligor for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to statute or judicial decision.

 

12.        If any payment applied by the Guaranteed Creditors to the indebtedness hereby guaranteed is thereafter set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower or any other obligor), the indebtedness hereby guaranteed to which such payment was applied shall for the purposes of this First Lien Guaranty be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this First Lien Guaranty shall be enforceable as to such of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed as fully as if such application had never been made.

 

13.        Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Guaranteed Creditors that as of the date hereof:

 

(a)        (i) Such Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the power and authority to own its property and to transact the business in which it is engaged and proposes to engage, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) is duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except, in each case, where the same could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5

 

(b)        Such Guarantor has full power and authority to enter into this First Lien Guaranty, to guarantee the indebtedness hereby guaranteed and to perform all of its obligations under this First Lien Guaranty.

 

(c)        The First Lien Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by such Guarantor and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

(d)        This First Lien Guaranty does not, nor does the performance or observance by such Guarantor of any of the matters and things herein provided for, (i) violate any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon such Guarantor, (ii) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of the organizational documents (e.g., charter, articles of incorporation or by-laws, articles of association or operating agreement, partnership agreement or other similar document) of such Guarantor, (iii) contravene or constitute a default under any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting such Guarantor or any of its Property, in each case where such contravention or default, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of such Guarantor other than the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document and Permitted Liens, except with respect to clauses (i), (iii) and (iv), to the extent, individually or in the aggregate, that such violation, contravention, breach, conflict, default or creation or imposition of any Lien could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(e)        From and after the date of execution of this Agreement or any agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A by any Guarantor and continuing so long as any of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed remains outstanding or until such Guarantor is earlier released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 6 hereof, such Guarantor agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of Section 6  of the First Lien Loan Agreement, insofar as such provisions apply to such Guarantor, as if said Section was set forth herein in full.

 

14.        The liability of the Guarantors under this First Lien Guaranty is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all other liabilities of the Guarantors after the date hereof to the Guaranteed Creditors as a Guarantor of the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

 

15.        Any provision of this First Lien Guaranty which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this First Lien Guaranty may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this First Lien Guaranty are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling

 

6

 

and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this First Lien Guaranty invalid or unenforceable.

 

16.        Any demand for payment on this First Lien Guaranty or any other notice required or desired to be given hereunder to any Guarantor shall comply with Section 10.8 of the First Lien Loan Agreement; provided that, the address information for each Guarantor shall be its address or facsimile number set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof, or such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Administrative Agent given by courier, United States certified or registered mail, by facsimile,  by email transmission or by other telecommunication device capable of creating written record of such notice and its receipt.  Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section and a confirmation of such telecopy has been received by the sender, (ii) if given by mail, five days after such communication is deposited in the mail, certified or registered with return receipt requested, addressed as aforesaid, (iii) if by email, when delivered (all such notices and communications sent by email shall be deemed delivered upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written acknowledgement)), or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at the addresses specified in this Section.

 

17.        No Guaranteed Creditor (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law in connection with this First Lien Guaranty for the enforcement of any remedy under or upon this First Lien Guaranty; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Guaranteed Creditors (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any right hereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained by the Administrative Agent in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors.

 

18.        THIS FIRST LIEN GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW.  This First Lien Guaranty may only be waived or modified in writing in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.11 of the First Lien Loan Agreement.  This First Lien Guaranty and every part thereof shall be effective as to each Guarantor upon its execution and delivery by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, without further act, condition or acceptance by the Guaranteed Creditors, shall be binding upon such Guarantors and upon the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Guarantors, and shall inure to the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors, their successors, legal representatives and assigns.  The Guarantors waive notice of the Guaranteed Creditors’ acceptance hereof.  This First Lien Guaranty may be executed in counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all together one and the same instrument.  Delivery of executed counterparts of this First Lien Guaranty by telecopy or by e-mail of an Adobe portable document format file (also known as a “PDF” file) shall be effective as originals.

 

7

 

19.        Each Guarantor hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City in the borough of Manhattan for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this First Lien Guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE GUARANTEED CREDITORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS FIRST LIEN GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

EXHIBIT A
 TO
  FIRST LIEN GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

ASSUMPTION AND SUPPLEMENT TO FIRST LIEN GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

This Assumption and Supplement to First Lien Guaranty Agreement (the “Agreement”) is dated as of this            day of                         ,           , made by [Insert name of new guarantor], a                        (the “New Guarantor”);

 

WITNESSETH THAT:

 

WHEREAS, certain affiliates of Fifth Third Processing Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent for the Guaranteed Creditors that certain First Lien Guaranty Agreement dated as of November 3, 2010 (such First Lien Guaranty Agreement, as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, amended and restated or otherwise modified, including supplements thereto which add or substitute parties as Guarantors thereunder, being hereinafter referred to as the “First Lien Guaranty”) pursuant to which such affiliates (the “Existing Guarantors”) have guaranteed to the Guaranteed Creditors, the full and prompt payment of, among other things, any and all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower arising under or relating to the First Lien Loan Agreement as defined therein; and

 

WHEREAS, the New Guarantor will directly and substantially benefit from credit and other financial accommodations extended and to be extended by the Guaranteed Creditors to the Borrower;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of advances made or to be made, or credit accommodations given or to be given, to the Borrower by the Guaranteed Creditors from time to time, the New Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.        The New Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it shall become a “Guarantor” party to the First Lien Guaranty effective upon the date of the New Guarantor’s execution of this Agreement and the delivery of this Agreement to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors, and that upon such execution and delivery, all references in the First Lien Guaranty to the terms “Guarantor” or “Guarantors” shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor.

 

2.        The New Guarantor hereby assumes and becomes liable (jointly and severally with all the other Guarantors) for the indebtedness hereby guaranteed (as defined in the First Lien Guaranty) and agrees to pay and otherwise perform all of the obligations of a Guarantor under the First Lien Guaranty according to, and otherwise on and subject to, the terms and conditions of the First Lien Guaranty to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if the New Guarantor had originally been one of the Existing Guarantors under the First Lien Guaranty and had originally executed the same as such an Existing Guarantor.

 

 

3.        The New Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, the New Guarantor makes each and every representation and warranty that is set forth in Section 13 of the First Lien Guaranty.

 

4.        All capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the same meaning herein as such terms have in the First Lien Guaranty, except that any reference to the term “Guarantor” or “Guarantors” and any provision of the First Lien Guaranty providing meaning to such term shall be deemed a reference to the Existing Guarantors and the New Guarantor.  Except as specifically modified hereby, all of the terms and conditions of the First Lien Guaranty shall stand and remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

 

5.        The New Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and do such further acts and things as the Administrative Agent or the Guaranteed Creditors may reasonably deem necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement.

 

6.        No reference to this Agreement need be made in the First Lien Guaranty or in any other document or instrument making reference to the First Lien Guaranty, any reference to the First Lien Guaranty in any of such to be deemed a reference to the First Lien Guaranty as modified hereby.

 

7.        THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW, IN WHICH STATE IT SHALL BE PERFORMED BY THE NEW GUARANTOR.
