(a)                                 If any issuer of any Pledged Equity is organized under a jurisdiction outside of the United States, each Grantor shall take such additional actions (including, without limitation, causing such issuer to register the pledge on its books and records) and make such filings or recordings, in each case to the extent Agent deems, in its sole and reasonable discretion, necessary or advisable under the laws of such issuer’s jurisdiction to insure the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest of Agent.

19

 

body) at a regularly scheduled annual or other meeting of stockholders or with respect to incidental matters at any such meeting, nor such Grantor’s consent to or approval of any action otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, shall be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Agreement within the meaning of this Section 6.6(b)(i) and no notice of any such voting or consent need be given to Agent; and

(i)                                     amend or terminate any Organizational Document in any way that conflicts with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of Agent’s security interest;

 

(ii)                                  permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity to issue any additional stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity interests of any nature or to issue securities convertible into or granting the right of purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity interest of any nature of such issuer;

(f)                                   upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and

 

(g)                                  upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with

 

24

 

any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

 

8.2                               No Duty on the Part of Agent or Secured Parties.  The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.  Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of 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.

 

8.3                               Appointment Pursuant to Loan Agreement.  Agent has been appointed as Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement.  The rights, duties, privileges, immunities and indemnities of Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 9
 REMEDIES

 

9.1                               Generally.

 

(a)                                 If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the Loan Agreement, or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:

 

(i)                                     require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at a place to be designated by Agent that is convenient to both parties;

 

(ii)                                  enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;

 

(iii)                               prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Agent deems appropriate; and

 

(iv)                              without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or

 

25

 

times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

 

(b)                                 Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Agent at such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.  Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.  If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Agent to collect such deficiency.  Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Agent, that Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.  Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit the rights of Agent hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like.  This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

(d)                                 Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

 

26

 

9.2                               Application of Proceeds.  Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by Agent against, the Secured Obligations in accordance with the requirements of the Loan Agreement.

 

9.3                               Sales on Credit.  If Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantors shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

 

9.4                               Investment Related Property.  Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws, Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.  If Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to Agent all such information as Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

 

9.5                               Grant of Intellectual Property License.  For the purpose of enabling Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, to the extent assignable and to the extent of such Grantor’s rights and effective only during the continuance of an Event of Default, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located.  Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.

 

27

 

9.6                               Intellectual Property.

 

(a)                                 Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 

(i)                                     Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, Agent, or the Secured Parties, in Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property rights of such Grantor, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Agent in aid of such enforcement, and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Agent as provided in Section 12 in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 9.6, and, to the extent that Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property rights as permitted by this Section 9.6, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation;

 

(ii)                                  upon written demand from Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to Agent or Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to any Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;

 

(iii)                               each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that Agent (or any other Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, any such Intellectual Property;

 

(iv)                              within five (5) Business Days after written notice from Agent, each Grantor shall make available to Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with any Trademarks or Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default;

 

(v)                                 Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of any Intellectual Property of such Grantor, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to

 

28

 

enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;

 

(vi)          all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by any Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 9.7; and

 

(vii)         no Grantor shall adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.

 

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

 

9.7           Cash Proceeds; Deposit Accounts.

 

(a)           If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights of Agent specified in Section 6.5 with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to Agent, if required) and held by Agent in the Collateral Account.  Any Cash Proceeds received by Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Agent, (A) be held by Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter, be applied by Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.

 

(b)           If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account included in the Collateral or instruct the bank at

 

29

 

which any such Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Agent.

 

Section 10
 AGENT

 

Agent has been appointed to act as Agent hereunder by the Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section.  The provisions of the Loan Agreement relating to Agent including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of Agent are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 11
 CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS

 

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date, and shall be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise.  On the Termination Date, the security interest granted by this Agreement shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors.  Upon any such termination Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents (including financing statement amendments) as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.  Upon any disposition of property permitted by the Loan Agreement, (x) the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person and (y) Agent shall, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents (including financing statement amendments) as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

 

Section 12
 STANDARD OF CARE; AGENT MAY PERFORM

 

The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or any other Secured

 

30

 

Party to exercise any such powers.  Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.  Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property.  Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise.  If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor as provided in the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 13
 MISCELLANEOUS

 

13.1         Generally.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 11.7 of the Loan Agreement.  No failure or delay on the part of Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Loan Agreement shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.  In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Agent and the Grantors and their respective successors and assigns.  No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of Agent given in accordance with the Loan Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder.  This Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  Accordingly, the Loan Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.  There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by email with scanned attachment shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.  Any

 

31

 

party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by email with scanned attachment also shall deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to deliver such an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

 

13.2         GOVERNING LAW; VENUE.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF REGARDING CONFLICTS OF LAWS, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN SUCH GRANTOR AND AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT AGENT AND EACH GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; AND FURTHER PROVIDED, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT OR SUCH OTHER SECURED PARTY.  EACH GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.7 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON SUCH GRANTOR’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF.

 

13.3         LOAN DOCUMENT.  THIS AGREEMENT IS ONE OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND ALL PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT THAT APPLY TO LOAN DOCUMENTS GENERALLY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

 

32

 

THE PROVISIONS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT UNDER THE HEADING “WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL”) ARE FULLY APPLICABLE TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AS IF THEY WERE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, WITH EACH REFERENCE TO “BORROWER” BEING DEEMED A REFERENCE TO “GRANTORS”, AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

EXHIBIT F-5COL_Exhibit_10-a-1_6.30.2012

Exhibit 10-a-1
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVES PLAN
Effective April 18, 2012, Sections 4(h)(i) and 4(h)(ii) of Rockwell Collins, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentives Plan, as amended and restated effective February 9, 2010, were amended in their entirety to read as follows:
     h.     Awards to Non-Employee Directors.

		
	(i)
	Initial Award.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(h)(v), each newly elected Non-Employee Director shall, as soon as practicable after initially becoming a member of the Board of Directors, be granted an Award of a number of Restricted Stock Units determined by dividing (A) the sum of (i) $100,000 (or such other amount determined by the Board of Directors) and (ii) $110,000 (or such other amount determined by the Board of Directors) multiplied by a fraction where the numerator is the number of days until the next Annual Meeting  of Shareowners and the denominator is 365 by (B) the Fair Market Value on the date of such initial appointment and rounding up to the next highest whole number, with terms and conditions including restrictions as determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee. The restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units shall lapse and it is intended that the Restricted Stock Units shall be payable only upon permissible payment events under Section 409A or in a manner that meets the requirements of an exemption from Section 409A, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

		
	(ii)
	Annual Award.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(h)(v), immediately following each Annual Meeting of Shareowners, each Non-Employee Director who is elected a director at, or who was previously elected and continues as a director after, that Annual Meeting shall be granted an Award of a number of Restricted Stock Units determined by dividing $110,000 (or such other amount determined by the Board of Directors) by the  Fair Market Value on the date of the Annual Meeting and rounding up to the next highest whole number, with terms and conditions including restrictions as determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee. The restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units shall lapse and it is intended that the Restricted Stock Units shall be payable only upon permissible payment events under Section 409A or in a manner that meets the requirements of an exemption from Section 409A, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
