Receipts, Issuer shall make a mandatory prepayment (without premium or penalty) by prepaying an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to (i) with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received by Issuer or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, or (ii) with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received by any Subsidiary of Issuer that is not a wholly-owned Subsidiary, the maximum amount of such Net Cash Proceeds that Issuer or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries is able to cause to be distributed to Issuer or such wholly-owned Subsidiary pursuant to applicable organizational and any other constituent documents.

 

(c) Application of Prepayments. All amounts in prepayment of the Notes shall be paid and applied in accordance with Section 8.03 hereto.

 

(d) Prepayment Premium. In the event that, on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Issuer makes any prepayment of the Initial Notes or Incremental Notes pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or 2.03(b) or upon any prepayment of such Notes in connection with a Change of Control or upon an Event of Default and acceleration of such Notes, Issuer shall pay to Administrative Agent, concurrently with such prepayment, for the ratable account of each holder of such Notes, a prepayment premium as follows: (i) if such prepayment or payment is made on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, a premium equal to 2% of the principal amount of such Notes being prepaid or paid and (ii) if such prepayment or payment is made after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, a premium equal to 1% of the principal amount of the Notes being prepaid or paid.

 

2.04. PAYMENT AT MATURITY. The entire principal amount of Initial Notes and Incremental Notes then outstanding, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations thereunder shall be due and payable, and shall be paid in cash, on the Maturity Date. Issuer understands and acknowledges that it is obligated for the entire principal amount of the Notes issued by it, any accrued interest on such Notes and all other Obligations.

 

2.05. INTEREST.

 

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each LIBOR Rate Note shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

 

(ii) each Base Rate Note shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(b) (i) If any amount (including principal and interest thereon) of any Note is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(ii) While any Event of Default exists and is continuing, Issuer shall pay interest on all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

27

 

(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

(c) Interest on each Note shall be due and payable in cash in arrears with respect to each Month or other applicable period on each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

2.06. FEES. Issuer shall pay to Agents and the Noteholders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.07. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. For LIBOR Rate Notes, all computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). For Base Rate Notes, all computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 365-day year, or a 366-day year (as applicable), and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Note for the day on which the Note is made, and shall not accrue on a Note, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Note or such portion is paid. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

2.08. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

 

2.09. PAYMENTS GENERALLY; ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S CLAWBACK.

 

(a) General. All payments to be made by Issuer shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Issuer hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Noteholders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified herein. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Noteholder its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to the account of such Noteholder as notified in writing to the Administrative Agent. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If and to the extent Administrative Agent shall not make such payments to Noteholders when due as set forth in the preceding sentence, then such unpaid amounts shall accrue interest, payable by Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate from the due date until (but not including) the date on which Administrative Agent makes such payments to Noteholders. If any payment to be made by Issuer shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

28

 

(b) Payments by Issuer; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Issuer prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Noteholders that Issuer will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Issuer has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Noteholders the amount due; it being agreed and acknowledged that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make such distribution until such payment is actually received from Issuer. In such event, if Issuer has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Noteholders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Noteholder, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

A notice of Administrative Agent to any Noteholder or Issuer with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Noteholder makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Note to be made by such Noteholder as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Issuer by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Noteholder) to such Noteholder, without interest.  The funding by the Initial Purchasers of their purchase of the Initial Notes on the Closing Date shall be deemed conclusive evidence that each condition precedent in Section 4.01 which is required to be acceptable or otherwise satisfactory (or words of similar import) to the Initial Purchasers or their counsel, has been satisfied with respect to any requisite approval of the Initial Purchasers and their counsel.

 

2.10. SHARING OF PAYMENTS BY NOTEHOLDERS. If any Noteholder shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of the Facility due and payable to such Noteholder hereunder and under the other Note Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Noteholder at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facility due and payable to all Noteholders hereunder and under the other Note Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facility due and payable to all Noteholders hereunder and under the other Note Documents at such time obtained by all the Noteholders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of the Facility owing (but not due and payable) to such Noteholder hereunder and under the other Note Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Noteholder at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facility owing (but not due and payable) to all Noteholders hereunder and under the other Note Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facility owing (but not due and payable) to all Noteholders hereunder and under the other Note Documents at such time obtained by all of the Noteholders at such time, then the Noteholder receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact,

 

29

 

and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in Notes of the other Noteholders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Noteholders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facility then due and payable to the Noteholders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Noteholders, as the case may be, provided that:

 

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Noteholder as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Notes (other than an assignment to Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply)).

 

Issuer consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Noteholder acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Issuer rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Noteholder were a direct creditor of Issuer in the amount of such participation.

 

2.11. INCREASE IN FACILITY.

 

(a) Request for Increase. Upon notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Noteholders), Issuer may from time to time before the Maturity Date, request an increase in the Initial Facility; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) Issuer may make a maximum of three such requests, (iii) the aggregate amount of increases under this Section 2.11 and the Additional Facilities under Section 2.12 shall not exceed $25,000,000, and (iv) the purchase price for the Notes purchased as a result of the increase in the Initial Facility (such new Notes, “Incremental Notes”) shall be ninety eight percent (98%) of the principal amount thereof. At the time of sending such notice, Issuer (in consultation with Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Noteholder is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Noteholders) as to whether it elects to participate in the requested increase.

 

(b) Noteholder Elections to Increase. Each Noteholder shall notify Administrative Agent within such time period as to whether or not it agrees to purchase Incremental Notes and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its ratable portion (based on such Noteholder’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the Facility) of such requested increase. Any Noteholder not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to purchase Incremental Notes.

 

30

 

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Incremental Noteholders. Administrative Agent shall notify Issuer of the Noteholders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Issuer may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Incremental Noteholders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

 

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Facility is increased in accordance with this Section, Administrative Agent, the purchasers purchasing Incremental Notes and Issuer shall determine the date upon which such Incremental Notes shall be sold to the Incremental Noteholders (the “Facility Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Issuer and the Noteholders of the final allocation of such increase and the Facility Increase Effective Date. At the written request of the Majority Noteholders, Administrative Agent shall sign an amendment on behalf of the Noteholders effectuating the increase to the Initial Facility.

 

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, Issuer shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Facility Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Noteholder) signed by a Responsible Officer of Issuer (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by Issuer approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Note Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Facility Increase Effective Date (provided that any such representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided that any such representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date), and except that for purposes of this Section 2.11, the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.05(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and (b), respectively, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, (C) no fact, event, circumstance, change, occurrence, effect or condition, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted therefrom or would reasonably be expected to result therefrom in a Material Adverse Effect, and (D) Issuer is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11. On the Facility Increase Effective Date, the Incremental Notes shall be purchased by the Incremental Noteholders participating therein pursuant to the procedures substantially similar to those set forth in Section 2.01(c) and otherwise upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.11 shall supercede Section 10.01 solely for purposes of amending this Agreement to effectuate the increase in the Facility contemplated by this Section 2.11 but not for any other purpose.

 

31

 

2.12. ADDITIONAL FACILITY.

 

(a) Request for Additional Facility. Upon notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Noteholders), Issuer may from time to time before the Maturity Date, request one or more additional note facilities under this Agreement (each an “Additional Facility”); provided that (i) any such Additional Facility shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) Issuer may make a maximum of three such requests, and (iii) the aggregate increases in the Initial Facility under Section 2.11 and the Additional Facilities under this Section

 

2.12 shall not exceed $25,000,000. At the time of giving such notice, Issuer (in consultation with Administrative Agent or the Majority Noteholders) shall specify the time period within which each Noteholder is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Noteholders) as to whether it elects to participate in the requested Additional Facility.

 

(b) Noteholder Elections. Each Noteholder shall notify Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to participate in the requested Additional Facility and, if so, the amount of such participation. Any Noteholder not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to participate in such Additional Facility.

 

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Facility Noteholders. Administrative Agent shall notify Issuer of the Noteholders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested Additional Facility, and subject to the approval of Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the Majority Noteholders, Issuer may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to participate in an Additional Facility.

 

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If an Additional Facility is provided in accordance with this Section, Administrative Agent (or the Majority Noteholders) and Issuer shall determine the date upon which Additional Facility Notes shall be sold to such purchasers (the “Additional Facility Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Additional Facility. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Issuer and the Noteholders purchasing Additional Facility Notes pursuant to such Additional Facility of the final allocation of such Additional Facility and the Additional Facility Effective Date.

 

(e) Terms of Additional Facilities. Each Additional Facility shall have such terms and conditions as are consistent herewith and as are set forth in an amendment or supplement to this Agreement entered into among Issuer, the Guarantors, the Additional Facility Noteholders that have agreed to participate in such Additional Facility and Administrative Agent (but not any of the other Noteholders) (provided that any consent of Administrative Agent to such amendment or supplement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), with such terms and conditions to be acceptable to the Majority Noteholders; provided, however, that (A) each Additional Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Facility, (B) Additional Facility Notes shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Facility and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Facility, (C) each Additional Facility shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event, no more favorably than) the Initial Facility (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments) and (D) each Additional Facility will accrue interest at rates determined by Issuer and the applicable

 

32

 

Additional Facility Noteholders, which rates may be higher or lower than the rates applicable to the Initial Notes.

 

(f) Conditions to Additional Facility. As a condition precedent to such Additional Facility, Issuer shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Additional Facility Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Noteholder) signed by a Responsible Officer of Issuer certifying to the matters set forth in Section 2.12(e).  On the Additional Facility Effective Date, the Additional Facility Notes shall be purchased by the Additional Facility Noteholders participating therein pursuant to the procedures substantially similar to those set forth in Section 2.01(c) and otherwise upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

2.13. DEFAULTING NOTEHOLDERS.

 

(a) Defaulting Noteholder Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Noteholder becomes a Defaulting Noteholder, then, until such time as such Noteholder is no longer a Defaulting Noteholder, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Noteholder’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Noteholders.

 

(ii) Defaulting Noteholder Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Noteholder (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Noteholder pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Noteholder to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Noteholders, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Noteholder against such Defaulting Noteholder as a result of such Defaulting Noteholder’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; third, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Noteholder to Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Issuer against such Defaulting Noteholder as a result of such Defaulting Noteholder’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fourth, to such Defaulting Noteholder or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Noteholder that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Noteholder shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Noteholder, and each Noteholder irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(b) Defaulting Noteholder Cure. If Issuer, Administrative Agent and the Majority Noteholders agree in writing that a Noteholder is no longer a Defaulting Noteholder, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Noteholder will take such actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary, whereupon such Noteholder will cease to be a Defaulting Noteholder; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Issuer while that Noteholder was a Defaulting Noteholder; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Noteholder to Noteholder will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Noteholder’s having been a Defaulting Noteholder.

 

33

 

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01. TAXES.

 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Note Parties hereunder or under any other Note Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Note Party shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this section) Administrative Agent or Noteholder, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Note Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Note Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Note Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the relevant Note Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c) Indemnification by Issuer. Issuer shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Noteholder, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative Agent or such Noteholder, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Issuer or by a Noteholder (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Noteholder, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Issuer to a Governmental Authority, Issuer shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

 

34

 

(e) Status of Noteholders. Any Foreign Noteholder that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the relevant Note Party is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Note Document shall deliver to Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Issuer or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Noteholder, if requested by Issuer or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Issuer or Administrative Agent as will enable the relevant Note Party or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Noteholder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in this Section 3.01(e)(i), (ii), or (iii) below) shall not be required if in the Foreign Noteholder’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Foreign Noteholder to any material unreimbursed cost or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Foreign Noteholder.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the relevant Note Party is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Noteholder shall deliver to Issuer and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Noteholder becomes a Noteholder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Issuer or Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Noteholder is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(i) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

 

(ii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI claiming exemption for effectively connected income,

 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Noteholder claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Noteholder is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Note Party within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c) (3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,

 

(iv) in the case of a Foreign Noteholder that is not the beneficial owner of a payment received under any Note Documents, (x) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-9 or other certification forms from each beneficial owner, as applicable, or

 

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed

 

35

 

together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Note Party to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

(f) FATCA. If a payment made to a Noteholder under any Note Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Noteholder were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Noteholder shall deliver to Issuer and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Issuer or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Issuer or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Issuer and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Noteholder has complied with such Noteholder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

 

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Administrative Agent, or any Noteholder determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Issuer or with respect to which Issuer has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay promptly to Issuer an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Issuer under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent, and such Noteholder, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Issuer, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Noteholder, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Issuer (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Noteholder) to Administrative Agent or such Noteholder in the event Administrative Agent or such Noteholder is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(g), in no event will Administrative Agent or any Noteholder be required to pay any amount to Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.01(g) the payment of which would place Administrative Agent or such Noteholder in a less favorable net after-Tax position than Administrative Agent or such Noteholder would have been if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Noteholder to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Issuer or any other Person.

 

3.02. ILLEGALITY.

 

If any Noteholder determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Noteholder to purchase or hold LIBOR Rate Notes, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Noteholder to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Noteholder to Issuer through Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Noteholder to make or continue LIBOR Rate Notes or to convert Base Rate Notes to LIBOR

 

36

 

Rate Notes shall be suspended until such Noteholder notifies Administrative Agent and Issuer that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Issuer shall, upon demand from such Noteholder (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Rate Notes of such Noteholder to Base Rate Notes, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Noteholder may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Notes to such day, or immediately, if such Noteholder may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Notes. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Issuer shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 

3.03. INABILITY TO DETERMINE RATES. If the Majority Noteholders determine that for any reason in connection with any conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Note that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Note, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Note, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Note does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Noteholders of funding such Note, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Issuer and each Noteholder; thereafter, the obligation of the Noteholders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Notes shall be suspended until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Noteholders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, all LIBOR Rate Notes will automatically convert to Base Rate Notes on the last day of the then-current Interest Rate Period and shall remain Base Rate Notes until the third Business Day after notice of the revocation of such suspension is given by Administrative Agent, on which third Business Day such Notes shall automatically convert to LIBOR Rate Notes.

 

3.04. INCREASED COSTS; RESERVES ON LIBOR RATE NOTES.

 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Noteholder (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e) hereto);

 

(ii) subject any Noteholder to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any LIBOR Rate Note made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Noteholder in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Noteholder); or

 

(iii) impose on any Noteholder or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Notes made by such Noteholder;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Noteholder of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Note (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Note), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such

 

37

 

Noteholder hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Noteholder, Issuer will pay to such Noteholder, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Noteholder for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Noteholder determines that any Change in Law affecting such Noteholder regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Noteholder’s capital or on the capital of such Noteholder’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Notes made by such Noteholder, to a level below that which such Noteholder or such Noteholder’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Noteholder’s policies and the policies of such Noteholder’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Issuer will pay to such Noteholder such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Noteholder or such Noteholder’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Noteholder setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Noteholder or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and delivered to Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Issuer shall pay such Noteholder, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Noteholder to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Noteholder’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Issuer shall not be required to compensate a Noteholder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Noteholder, as the case may be, notifies Issuer of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Noteholder’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

(e) Reserves on LIBOR Rate Notes. Issuer shall pay to each Noteholder, as long as such Noteholder shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Euro-currency funds or deposits (currently known as “Euro-currency Liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Note equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Note by such Noteholder (as determined by such Noteholder in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Note, provided that Issuer shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Noteholder. If a Noteholder fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

 

38

 

3.05. COMPENSATION FOR LOSSES. Upon demand of any Noteholder (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Issuer shall promptly compensate such Noteholder for and hold such Noteholder harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Note other than a Base Rate Note on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Note (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

 

(b) any failure by Issuer (for a reason other than the failure of such Noteholder to purchase a Note) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Note other than a Base Rate Note on the date or in the amount notified by Issuer; or

 

(c) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Note on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Issuer pursuant to Section 10.06 hereto;

 

including any loss or expense (but excluding loss of margin) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Note or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Issuer shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Noteholder in connection with the foregoing.

 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Issuer to the Noteholders under this Section 3.05 hereto, each Noteholder shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Rate Note made by it at the LIBOR Rate for such Note by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Note was in fact so funded.

 

3.06. MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; REPLACEMENT OF NOTEHOLDERS.

 

(a) [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(b) Replacement of Noteholders. If any Noteholder requests compensation under Section 3.04 hereto, or if Issuer is required to pay any additional amount to any Noteholder or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Noteholder pursuant to Section 3.01 hereto, or any Noteholder gives notice pursuant to Section 3.02 hereto, Issuer may replace such Noteholder in accordance with Section 10.13 hereto.

(f) Collateral Releases.

 

(i) Issuer, together with the applicable Disposition Entity, may request in writing that Collateral Agent release its Lien on any Collateral (including any Collateral owned by any Subsidiary or joint venture interest being sold) as to which any Disposition Entity has entered into a binding contract to sell for Value (and the Disposition Entity shall so certify that such Disposition is for Value) and that provides a closing date that is within 20 days of the requested release, and/or any Control Account that will be upon such sale, or is at the time of such request, no longer needed or used by Issuer or other Note Parties and which relates solely to the parcel, community, land or other property being sold or previously sold by such Disposition Entity in any such sale. In the event that Collateral Agent receives any such request in accordance herewith, then Collateral Agent shall, so long as no Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, release its Lien on such Collateral (including any such Control Account specified in such request) on the date of closing of the sale of such Collateral (or with respect to any such Control Account for which a request has been submitted following the consummation of such sale, promptly after receipt thereof) subject to the deposit of the net cash proceeds from such Disposition into a Control Account.

Releases under this Section 6.13(f)(ii) shall occur notwithstanding the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default. In addition to the foregoing, Collateral Agent shall in its reasonable discretion approve, execute, join and subordinate, as applicable, the Mortgages to reasonable and appropriate subdivision declarations, plats, public declarations and utility easements, covenants, conditions, cancellations and restrictions, and similar instruments reasonable and appropriate for the development of the Mortgaged Properties.

 

(iii) From time to time, Collateral Agent will execute and deliver release documents to effectuate releases of the Mortgaged Properties under this Section

(h) Appointment; Intercreditor Agreement. Wilmington Trust is hereby appointed to act as Collateral Agent under the Security Documents. To the extent applicable, in such capacity, Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, which shall establish that the liens securing the Permitted RC Facility rank senior to the Liens securing the Note Documents and shall be satisfactory in all respects to the Majority Noteholders. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, in all cases subject to the terms of the Security Documents and such Intercreditor Agreement. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Noteholders.

 

(i) Costs. Issuer shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses associated with any of the actions taken under this Section 6.13 hereto, including, without limitation, (i) all reasonable fees and charges any appraisal, re-appraisal, and survey costs, (ii) title insurance charges and premiums, (iii) title search or examination costs, including abstracts, abstractors’ certificates and uniform commercial code searches, (iv) UCC, judgment and tax lien searches for each Grantor, (v) reasonable fees and costs of environmental investigations, site assessments, and remediations, (vi) recordation taxes, documentary taxes, transfer taxes and mortgage taxes, and (vii) filing and recording fees.

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Issuer or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

(d) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Noteholders (or such other number or percentage of the Noteholders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02 hereto) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by Issuer or a Noteholder.

 

72

 

The Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

 

9.04. RELIANCE BY AGENTS. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Note, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Noteholder, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Noteholder unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Noteholder prior to the making of such Note. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Issuer), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

9.05. DELEGATION OF DUTIES. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Note Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.

 

9.06. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF AN AGENT. Any Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Noteholders and Issuer. Any Agent may be removed at any time by written notice of the Majority Noteholders delivered to such Agent, with a copy to Issuer. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, the Majority Noteholders shall have the right, with the consent of Issuer not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (and shall be deemed to have been given if not objected to within three Business Days of a request from the Majority Noteholders or any Agent for consent) provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. With respect to an Agent resignation, if no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Noteholders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Noteholders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided

 

73

 

that if such Agent shall notify Issuer and the Noteholders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Note Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Noteholder, until such time as the Majority Noteholders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as a successor Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Note Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Issuer to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Issuer and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Note Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 hereto shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as an Agent.

 

9.07. NON-RELIANCE ON AGENTS AND OTHER NOTEHOLDERS. Each Noteholder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Noteholder or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Noteholder also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Noteholder or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Note Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

9.08. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Note Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Issuer) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes, and all other obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Noteholders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Noteholders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Noteholders and Administrative Agent under Sections 2.06 and 10.04 hereto) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

74

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the appropriate Agent and, in the event that such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders to pay to the Agents any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.06 and 10.04 hereto.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations or the rights of any Noteholder or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

 

9.09. COLLATERAL AND GUARANTY MATTERS. The Noteholders irrevocably authorize each Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

 

(a) to release or cause the release of any Lien on any property granted to or held by or on behalf of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under any Note Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any Disposition contemplated under Section 6.13(f) hereto (or any Control Accounts related to such Disposition as contemplated under Section 6.13(f)(i)), or as otherwise contemplated hereunder and under the Note Documents, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Noteholders, except to the extent that the consent of all Noteholders is required pursuant to Section 10.01(g) hereto;

 

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Unconditional Guaranty if (i) such Guarantor (x) does not own any Collateral (or is simultaneously transferring its ownership interest in all remaining Collateral owned by it to Issuer or another Guarantor), and

 

(y) such Guarantor is dissolving and terminating its existence, or (ii) such Guarantor is being Disposed of in a transaction permitted under Section 7.05 hereof.

 

ARTICLE X.

(d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Note or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Note Document, without the written consent of each Noteholder directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Majority Noteholders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of Issuer to pay interest at the Default Rate;

 

(e) change Section 2.10 or Section 8.03 hereto in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Noteholder directly and adversely affected thereby;

 

(f) change any provision of this Section or the definitions of “Majority Noteholders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Noteholders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Noteholder affected thereby;

(j) change, waive, suspend or modify the provisions and requirements of the Agreement that note that consent will be required of the Majority Noteholders without the written consent of the Majority Noteholders.

 

No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in addition to the Noteholders required above, affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Note Document.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Majority Noteholders, Administrative Agent and Issuer (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities pursuant to Section 2.12 to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder

 

76

 

and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Note Documents with the Additional Facilities under Section 2.12 and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Additional Facility Noteholders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Majority Noteholders and other definitions related to such new Additional Facilities.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any amendment or modification that solely extends the date required for the payment of principal of any Note (any Noteholder that agrees to such extension for its Notes (a “Consenting Noteholder”)) shall require only the consents of (i) Issuer and the Guarantors, (ii) such Consenting Noteholder, and (iii) the Majority Noteholders, and (v) Administrative Agent.  No such extension shall apply to any Note of any Noteholder that is not a Consenting Noteholder.

Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

 

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Noteholders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Noteholder pursuant to Article II if such Noteholder, as applicable, has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. Administrative Agent or Issuer may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by

 

77

 

electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 

Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

Issuer shall indemnify each Agent and each Noteholder and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Issuer. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with an Agent may be recorded by such Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

 

10.03. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure by any Noteholder or any Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

10.04. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER.

78

 

provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent or any Noteholder (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Agents and of one counsel for the Majority Noteholders), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any Agent, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Note Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Notes hereunder, including all such documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Notes, (iii) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses incurred by the Agents and the Noteholders of creating, perfecting, recording, maintaining and preserving Liens in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Noteholders, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to each Agent and of counsel to the Majority Noteholders providing any opinions that any Agent or the Majority Noteholders may request in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Collateral Documents,

(b) Indemnification by Issuer. Issuer shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Noteholder, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Issuer or any other Note Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Note or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, any Existing Environmental Matter, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Property or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party (including any banks pursuant to Control Agreements) or by Issuer or any other Note Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all

 

79

 

cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by Issuer or any other Note Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Note Document, if Issuer or such Note Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

(c) Reimbursement by Noteholders. To the extent that Issuer for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to either Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Noteholder severally agrees to pay to each Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Noteholder’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Noteholders hereunder to make payments pursuant to this Section 10.04(c) hereto are several and not joint. The failure of any Noteholder to make any payment under this Section 10.04(c) hereto on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Noteholder of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Noteholder shall be responsible for the failure of any other Noteholder to make its payment under this Section 10.04(c) hereto.

 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Issuer shall not assert, and Issuer hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Note or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Note Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten days after demand therefor.

 

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Noteholder, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

 

80

 

10.05. PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Issuer is made to any Agent or Noteholder, or any Agent or Noteholder exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, or such Noteholder in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Noteholder severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Noteholders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

10.06. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of Issuer nor any other Note Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Majority Noteholders, and no Noteholder may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b) hereto, or (ii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) hereto (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent and the Noteholders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b) Assignments by Noteholders. Any Noteholder may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Notes at the time owing to it) to an Eligible Assignee; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i) Minimum Amounts.

 

(A) in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Noteholder’s Notes at the time owing to it, or (y) an assignment to a Noteholder, an Affiliate of a Noteholder or a Related Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the Notes of the assigning Noteholder subject to each such assignment, determined as of the

 

81

 

date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless Administrative Agent in its discretion consents; provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

 

(ii) Assignment and Assumption. The assignee of such Note shall execute and deliver to Issuer and Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement whereby, among other things, such assignee shall agree to become a party to this Agreement as a Noteholder hereunder and shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 10.20 hereof (and, in connection therewith, deliver such opinions of counsel as may be requested by Administrative Agent or Issuer demonstrating that such assignee meets the requirements thereof and that such assignment is in compliance with all applicable securities laws and would not require the Notes or the Unconditional Guaranties to be registered under the Securities Act or an indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Notes or the Unconditional Guaranties).

 

(iii) No Assignment to Issuer. No such assignment shall be made to Issuer or any of Issuer’s Affiliates (excluding any Noteholder) or Subsidiaries.

 

(iv) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

 

(v) Assignment and Documentation Fee. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of contemporaneous assignments to or by two or more Related Funds.  Concurrently with such delivery, the Eligible Assignee, if not a Noteholder, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Noteholder under this Agreement, and the assigning Noteholder thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Noteholder shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and

 

10.04 hereto with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, Issuer (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Noteholder.

 

82

 

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Issuer, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Noteholders and principal amounts and stated interest of the Notes owing to, each Noteholder pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Issuer, Administrative Agent and the Noteholders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Noteholder hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

 

(e) Intentionally Omitted.

 

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Noteholder may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Noteholder, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Noteholder from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Noteholder as a party hereto.

 

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

10.07. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of Administrative Agent and the Noteholders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Note Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Note Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of, or any prospective assignee of, any of its rights or

 

83

 

obligations under this Agreement, or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Noteholder or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Issuer.

 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Issuer or any Subsidiary relating to Issuer or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent, any Noteholder on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Issuer or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from Issuer or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information but no less than a reasonable standard of care.

 

10.08. RIGHT OF SETOFF. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Noteholder and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Noteholder or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Issuer or any other Note Party against any and all of the obligations of Issuer or such Note Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Note Document to such Noteholder, irrespective of whether or not such Noteholder shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Note Document and although such obligations of Issuer or such Note Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Noteholder different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Noteholder and their respective Affiliates under this section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Noteholder or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Noteholder agrees to notify Issuer and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

10.09. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Note Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Note Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Noteholder shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Notes or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Issuer. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Noteholder exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,

 

(a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

84

 

10.10. COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Note Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and the other Note Documents represent the final agreement among the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties. Except as provided in Section 4.01 hereto, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

10.11. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Note Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Noteholder, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Noteholder or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Noteholder may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the Closing Date, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Note or any other obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

 

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

 

10.13. REPLACEMENT OF NOTEHOLDERS. If any Noteholder requests compensation under Section 3.04 hereto, or if Issuer is required to pay any additional amount to any Noteholder or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Noteholder pursuant to Section 3.01 hereto, or if any Noteholder becomes a Defaulting Noteholder, or if any Noteholder does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Note Document requested by Issuer which has been approved by the Majority Noteholders but which requires the consent of such Noteholder (or such Noteholder and other Noteholders) to become effective, then Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Noteholder and Administrative Agent, require such Noteholder to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06 hereto) all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Note Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Noteholder, if a Noteholder accepts such assignment), provided that:

 

85

 

(a) Issuer shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b) hereto;

 

(b) such Noteholder shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Notes, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Note Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 hereto) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Issuer (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01 hereto, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

 

In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Noteholder does not execute and deliver to Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five Business Days of the date on which the replacement Noteholder executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to the replaced Noteholder, then such replaced Noteholder shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption.  A Noteholder shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Noteholder or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Issuer to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

10.14. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC.

 

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. ISSUER AND EACH OTHER NOTE PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT), OR FOR RECOGNITION OR

 

86

 

ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY NOTEHOLDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT AGAINST ISSUER OR ANY OTHER NOTE PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. ISSUER AND EACH OTHER NOTE PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02 HERETO. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

 

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

 

10.16. [RESERVED].

 

87

 

10.17. NO ADVISORY OR FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Note Document), Issuer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Issuer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent, on the other hand, (B) Issuer has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Issuer is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Note Documents; (ii) (A) Administrative Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Issuer or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) Administrative Agent has no obligation to Issuer or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents; and (iii) Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Issuer and its Affiliates, and Administrative Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Issuer or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Issuer hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 

10.18. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Each Noteholder that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Noteholder) hereby notifies Issuer that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Note Party, which information includes the name and address of each Note Party and other information that will allow such Noteholder or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Note Party in accordance with the Act. Issuer shall, promptly following a request by Administrative Agent or any Noteholder, provide all documentation and other information that Administrative Agent or such Noteholder requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

 

10.19. TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the Obligations of Note parties under the Note Documents.

 

10.20. NOTEHOLDER REPRESENTATIONS.  Each Noteholder, severally as to itself and not jointly and severally with any other Noteholder, represents and warrants to Issuer as follows:

 

(a) Such Noteholder is acquiring its Notes for its own account, for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or any state “blue sky” laws.

 

(b) Such Noteholder understands that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and the Notes are being issued by Issuer in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (ii) understands that the

 

88

 

Notes may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available.

 

(c) Such Noteholder understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts.

 

(d) Such Noteholder did not employ any broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and no fees or commissions are payable to such Noteholder except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

 

(e) Such Noteholder is either an “Accredited Investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) or a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act).  The financial position of such Noteholder is such that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Notes purchased by it hereunder.  Such Noteholder can afford to suffer the complete loss of its investment in the Notes.  The knowledge and experience of such Noteholder in financial and business matters is such that it is capable of evaluating the risks of the investment in the Notes.  Such Noteholder acknowledges that no representations, express or implied, are being made with respect to Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, the Notes or otherwise, other than those expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents.

Litigation

 

1)                                     Old WCI Communities, Inc.:  Rescission Claims

 

Claimants generally seek rescission and the return of deposits made under purchase agreements for approximately 27 units (in the aggregate amount of approximately $2,784,731.70).  These actions are brought under various theories, including, but not limited to violations of ILSA, breach of contract, Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and misrepresentation.

 

2)                                     Old WCI Communities, Inc. and WCI Communities Inc.: Condominium Construction Defects and Audit of the Financial Records.

 

Three condominium associations seek monetary compensation for alleged construction defects and amounts due from the developer to the Association (approximately $1,290,112.00).

 

3)                                     WCI Communities, Inc.:  Bishop Pit Lease

 

WCI as landlord entered into a lease with David Barron Land Development (DBLD) for the mining and removal of materials and substances such as muck, fill dirt, top soil, crushed rock and stone.  The lease expires December 31, 2012.  DBLD defaulted under the terms of the lease by failing to pay royalties, taxes and other amounts.  WCI terminated the lease; however, DBLD continues to remove material.  WCI filed a Complaint for breach of contract and injunctive relief and a second Complaint for Eviction both filed in Circuit Court.   In the event DBLD continues to remove material through year end, WCI will be damaged to the extent DBLD fails to remit rental payments and/or cause materials to be removed from areas which WCI has planned for future development.

 

4)                                     WCI Communities, Inc.:  The Watermark — Water Intrusion

 

62 (out of 204) units have experienced water infiltration.  The cause of the leaks remains undetermined and investigation is ongoing.  WCI retained Glazing Consultants to investigate the causs of the leaks.  Dollar amount is undeterminable at this time.

Employee Plans

 

WCI Communities, Inc.: SUMMARY OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PROGRAMS

 

BENEFITS ELIGIBILITY

 

All full-time employees consistently working 30 hours per week have the opportunity to enroll in the available WCI Benefit Programs.

 

FLEXIBLE BENEFITS PLAN

 

WCI offers a menu of benefits to employees.  Pre-tax dollars can be used to pay for Health, Dental, Vision and Flexible Spending Reimbursement Accounts. This summary provides an overview of all employee benefit programs. The Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs) are the controlling documents.

 

MEDICAL BENEFITS — WCI’s medical plan is self-funded; Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama is the provider and administrator. There are two medical plans available; PPO and Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP) with a Health Savings Account (HSA).

 

1)                                     PPO. This plan typically pays 80% in-network and 50% out-of-network after a deductible with a $35 co-pay for primary care physician office visit and $50 co-pay for specialist office visits.

2)                                     Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP) with an HSA. This plan provides health care coverage along with a health savings account to help employees pay some of their covered medical services or help them plan ahead for future health expenses. Before the medical plan begins paying for employees’ health care, they must meet their annual deductible. They can meet their deductible by using dollars in their health savings account, their own dollars, or a combination of both. Once the deductible is met, the plan begins providing coverage for eligible services. Employees are responsible for any co-insurance or co-pays. Contributions made to an HSA from payroll are pre-tax and the dollars are not subject to taxation unless withdrawn for a non-qualified medical expense.

 

WCI will match employee contributions of $750 for single coverage and $1,500 for family coverage.

FORM OF UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY

 

(See Attached)

UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY

 

THIS UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) is entered into as of June 8, 2012, by the subsidiaries of WCI Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Issuer”) from time to time party hereto (collectively, “Guarantors” and each individually, a “Guarantor”), in favor of Wilmington Trust, National Association (“Wilmington”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, and together with any successor administrative agent appointed in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below), “Administrative Agent”) for the Noteholders that are parties from time to time to the Note Purchase Agreement (each, as defined below).

 

Issuer is a party to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among Issuer, Guarantors, the holders of Notes issued from time to time under the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Noteholders”), Wilmington, as the collateral agent for the benefit of itself, Administrative Agent and the Noteholders (in such capacity, and together with any successor collateral agent appointed in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, “Collateral Agent,” and collectively with Administrative Agent, “Agents”), and Administrative Agent, pursuant to which, among other things, the Noteholders have agreed to purchase, and may in the future agree to purchase, Notes issued or to be issued by Issuer under the Note Purchase Agreement.  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

Each Guarantor is a Subsidiary of Issuer; Issuer and Guarantors are engaged in related businesses, and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the issuance of the Notes by Issuer under the Note Purchase Agreement and the application of the proceeds from the sale thereof, which benefits are hereby acknowledged.

 

It is a condition precedent to the issuance of any Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement that Guarantors shall execute and deliver this Guaranty.  Noteholders are relying on this Guaranty in their decision to purchase Notes issued from time to time under the Note Purchase Agreement, and Agents are relying on this Guaranty in their decision to accept their duties under the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents to which they are a party, and Noteholders and Agents would not enter into the Note Purchase Agreement and such other Note Documents without the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantors.

 

NOW THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, each of the undersigned Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agrees as follows:

 

1.             Guaranty.  Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a guarantee of payment and not merely as a guarantee of collection, prompt payment in full when due (after giving effect to any grace period that may be set forth in the Note Documents with respect to any specific payment), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations and any and all other existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of every kind, nature and 

 

 

character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary, of Issuer to Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Noteholders arising under the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents and all instruments, agreements and other documents of every kind and nature now or hereafter executed in connection with any Note Document, and for avoidance of doubt including, without limitation, any such indebtedness and liabilities relating to any Incremental Notes and any Additional Facility Notes issued from time to time by Issuer under the Note Purchase Agreement (including all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof and all costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Noteholders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  The books and records of Administrative Agent or any Noteholder showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error, for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.  This Guaranty shall not be affected by

 

(a)           the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, any Note Document or any other instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor,

 

(b)           any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, renewal or alteration of, any Guaranteed Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Note Purchase Agreement or any Note or any other Note Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to Issuer or otherwise;

 

(c)           any sale, exchange, release, surrender, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and/or any offset against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(d)           any exercise or failure to exercise any rights against Issuer or others (including any other Guarantor or any other Note Party);

 

(e)           any settlement or compromise of any Guaranteed Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof (other than any such settlement or compromise entered into with the Guarantor), and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation (whether due or not) of Issuer or any other Note Party to creditors of Issuer or any other Note Party, as applicable;

 

(f)            any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any 

 

3

 

Collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other assets of any Note Party;

 

(g)           any change, restructuring or termination of the existence of Issuer or any other Note Party; or

 

(h)           any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, this Guaranty and/or obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, or a defense to, or discharge of, Issuer or any other Person or party relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case other than the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

 

2.             Notwithstanding any contrary provision, it is the intention of each Guarantor, each Noteholder and Administrative Agent that the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by each Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or similar laws applicable to each Guarantor.  Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by each Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any applicable state law as of the date of such determination.  The amount of the Guaranteed Obligations so limited hereunder may increase from time to time as the maximum amount under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable state law increases.

 

3.             No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes.  Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it is incorporated or formed, and resides in, the United States of America.  All payments by each Guarantor hereunder shall be paid in full, without setoff or counterclaim (other than mandatory) or any deduction or withholding whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any and all present and future taxes other than Excluded Taxes.  If any Guarantor must make a payment under this Guaranty, such Guarantor represents and warrants that it will make the payment from one of its U.S. resident offices to Administrative Agent or each Noteholder.  If any Guarantor makes a payment under this Guaranty to which withholding tax applies, or any taxes are at any time imposed on any payments under or in respect of this Guaranty including, but not limited to, payments made pursuant to this Paragraph 3, such Guarantor shall pay all such taxes to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, shall pay an amount as necessary to ensure that Administrative Agent or such Noteholder receives the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made and shall also pay to Administrative Agent or such Noteholder, within ten days of demand thereof, all additional amounts which Administrative Agent or such Noteholder specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield Administrative Agent or such Noteholder would have received if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.  Each Guarantor shall,

 

4

 

as soon as practicable, after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provide Administrative Agent or any applicable Noteholder with an original receipt or certified copy issued by the relevant authority evidencing the payment of any such amount required to be deducted or withheld.

 

4.             No Termination.  This Guaranty is an absolute, continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).  All payments under this Guaranty shall be made to an office of Administrative Agent located in the United States and in Dollars.

 

5.             Waiver of Notices.  Each Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension or continuation of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.  Each Guarantor further waives presentment, protest, notice, dishonor or default, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand for payment and any other notices to which each Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.

 

6.             Subrogation.  Each Guarantor agrees that any right of subrogation, contribution or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty shall be junior and subordinate to all rights that Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders may have against Issuer or any other Note Party and to all right, title and interest that Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders may have in any collateral or security granted pursuant to the Note Documents, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).  If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agents and the Noteholders and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

 

7.             Waiver of Suretyship Defenses.  Each Guarantor agrees that Agents and the Noteholders may, at any time and from time to time, and without notice to any Guarantor, make any agreement with Issuer or with any other person or entity liable on any of the Guaranteed Obligations or providing collateral as security for the Guaranteed Obligations, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral (in whole or in part), or for any modification or amendment of the terms thereof or of any instrument or agreement evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations or the provision of collateral, all without in any way impairing, releasing, discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty.  Each Guarantor waives, until the indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Issuer or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Issuer, or any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Issuer and waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of such Guarantor hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Each Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent 

 

5

 

or any Noteholder now has or may hereafter have against Issuer or any other Note Party and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent for the benefit of themselves or the Noteholders.  Further, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of each Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

 

8.             Exhaustion of Other Remedies Not Required.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations.  A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Issuer or any other Note Party or whether Issuer or any other Note Party is joined in any such action or actions.  Each Guarantor waives promptness and diligence by Agents or any Noteholder and action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including, without limitation any provisions of law requiring Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Noteholder to exhaust any right or remedy or to take any action against Issuer, any other guarantor or any other person, entity or property before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor.

 

9.             Reinstatement.  Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is revoked, terminated, rescinded or reduced or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Issuer, any Guarantor or any other person or entity or otherwise, as if such payment had not been made and whether or not Administrative Agent or any Noteholder is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.

 

10.          Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of Issuer owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of Issuer to such Guarantor as subrogee of Administrative Agent or any Noteholder or resulting from each Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).  If Administrative Agent or the Majority Noteholders so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of Issuer to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for Administrative Agent and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

11.          Information.  Each Guarantor agrees to furnish promptly to Administrative Agent any and all financial or other information regarding such Guarantor or its property as Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing.

 

12.          Stay of Acceleration.  In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of

 

6

 

Issuer or any other person or entity, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent .

 

13.          Expenses.  Each Guarantor shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and the reasonable allocated cost and disbursements of internal legal counsel) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the rights of Agents or any Noteholder under this Guaranty, including any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of Agents or any Noteholder in any case commenced by or against any Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar or successor statute.  The obligations of each Guarantor under the preceding sentence shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

 

14.          Amendments.  No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by Administrative Agent and each Guarantor; provided, however, that no Guarantor may be released except as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

15.          No Waiver; Enforceability.  No failure by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Noteholder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right by any Person.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity.  The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein.

 

16.          Assignment; Governing Laws; Jurisdiction.  THIS GUARANTY SHALL (A) BIND EACH GUARANTOR AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, PROVIDED THAT NO GUARANTOR MAY ASSIGN ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS GUARANTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE REQUISITE NOTEHOLDERS WHOSE CONSENT IS REQUIRED UNDER THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (AND ANY ATTEMPTED ASSIGNMENT WITHOUT SUCH CONSENT SHALL BE VOID), (B) INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF AGENTS AND NOTEHOLDERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS AND AGENTS OR ANY NOTEHOLDER MAY, WITHOUT NOTICE TO ANY GUARANTOR AND WITHOUT AFFECTING ANY GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, ASSIGN OR SELL PARTICIPATIONS IN THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS AND THIS GUARANTY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AND (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE AND ANY

 

7

 

APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY NOTEHOLDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.  EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION.  EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 

SERVICE OF PROCESS BY ANY AGENT OR ANY NOTEHOLDER IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE BINDING ON EACH GUARANTOR IF SENT TO SUCH GUARANTOR IN CARE OF ISSUER AT ISSUER’S ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SCHEDULE 10.02 OF THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

 

EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT AGENTS OR ANY NOTEHOLDER MAY DISCLOSE TO ANY PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER AND ANY PURCHASER OF ALL OR PART OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS ANY AND ALL INFORMATION IN THE POSSESSION OF AGENTS OR ANY NOTEHOLDER CONCERNING EACH GUARANTOR, THIS GUARANTY AND ANY SECURITY FOR THIS GUARANTY.

 

17.          Condition of Issuer.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from Issuer such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of Issuer as such Guarantor requires, and that neither Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent nor any Noteholder has any duty, and each Guarantor is not relying on Agents or any Noteholder at any time, to disclose to each Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of Issuer.

 

18.          Remedies; Setoff.

 

(a)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Note Party, declare any Guaranteed Obligations immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.

 

8

 

(b)           If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Noteholder may setoff and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of Guarantors’ accounts or deposits with Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or such Noteholder in addition to other rights and remedies which Administrative Agent and Noteholders may have.

 

19.          Other Guarantees.  Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and Noteholders and Guarantors in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by Guarantors for the benefit of the Noteholders or any term or provision thereof.

 

20.          Note Documents.  By execution hereof, each Guarantor covenants and agrees that certain representations and warranties set forth in the Note Documents, including those set forth in Article V of the Note Purchase Agreement, are expressly applicable to Guarantors, this Guaranty and the property of Guarantors, and each Guarantor reaffirms that each such representation and warranty is true and correct in every material respect and each such applicable representation and warranty set forth in such Note Documents and any other terms of the Note Documents to which reference is made therein, together with all related definitions and ancillary provisions, are hereby incorporated into this Guaranty by this reference as though specifically set forth herein.  Each Guarantor agrees to take all necessary actions (i) to comply with the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement applicable to it, including, without limitation, the turning over of proceeds received by it which are to be applied to reduce the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement and the turning over to the Administrative Agent of any payments which Guarantor has received in violation of the Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) as applicable, to cause compliance by its subsidiaries with the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement and other Note Documents.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is subject to the offset provisions of the Note Documents in favor of Agents and Noteholders.  If the Note Purchase Agreement shall cease to remain in effect for any reason whatsoever during any period and any part of the Guaranteed Obligations remain unpaid, then the terms, covenants, and agreements incorporated herein by reference shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect as obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty.  Each Guarantor shall take, or refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Event of Default is caused by the failure to take or refrain from taking such action, as the case may be.  All amounts payable from time to time by any Guarantor hereunder shall bear interest at an interest rate per annum determined in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement as if such amounts were payable by Issuer.

 

21.          Authority of Administrative Agent.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of Administrative Agent under this Guaranty with respect to any action taken by Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by Administrative Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Guaranty shall, as between Administrative Agent and Noteholders, be governed by the Note Purchase Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between Administrative Agent and such Guarantor, Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for Noteholders with full and valid

 

9

 

authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Guarantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

 

22.          Additional Guarantors.  From time to time subsequent to the time hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Issuer may become parties hereto as additional guarantors (each an “Additional Guarantor”) by executing a counterpart of this Guaranty.  Upon delivery of any such counterpart to Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor and shall be a party hereto as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereof.  Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Guarantor hereunder, or by any election by Administrative Agent not to cause any Subsidiaries of Issuer to become an Additional Guarantor hereunder.  This Guaranty shall be fully effective as to any Guarantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any such person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Guarantor hereunder.

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, Pledgor is the record and beneficial owner of all of the authorized, issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock (as hereinafter defined) (such Capital Stock, and any Capital Stock obtained in the future, the “Pledged Shares”) (the issuing entities of such Pledged Shares herein sometimes called, individually an “Issuer” and collectively, “Issuers”), as more particularly described in Schedule I attached hereto;

 

WHEREAS, Pledgor, is party to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among Pledgor, the guarantors party thereto, the holders of Notes issued from time to time under the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Noteholders”), Wilmington, as the administrative agent for the Noteholders (in such capacity, and together with any successor administrative agent appointed in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, “Administrative Agent”) and the Secured Party, pursuant to which, among other things, the Noteholders have agreed to purchase, and may in the future agree to purchase, Notes issued or to be issued by Pledgor under the Note Purchase Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the issuance and sale of the Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement that Pledgor shall have agreed, by executing and delivering this Agreement, to secure the payment in full of its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) and the Noteholders and Agents are relying on this Agreement in their decision to enter into the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents to which they are respectively a party, and would not enter into the Note Purchase Agreement and such other Note Documents without the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Pledgor.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Definitions.  In addition to the terms defined hereinabove, unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Note Purchase Agreement are used herein as therein defined, and the following shall have (unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement) the following respective meanings (such meanings being equally applicable to both the singular and plural form of the terms defined):

 

“Agreement” shall mean this Pledge Agreement, and shall include all further

 

 

amendments, modifications and supplements hereto and shall refer to this Agreement, as the same may be in effect at the time such reference becomes operative.

 

“Capital Stock” shall mean and include common stock, preferred stock, warrants, partnership interests, limited liability company interests, membership interests, joint venture interests or other interests representing or constituting equity ownership in any Person or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any of the foregoing.

 

“Pledged Collateral” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2 hereof.

 

“Secured Obligations” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Security Agreement.

 

2.                                      Pledge.  Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and grants to the Secured Party, effective on and as of the date hereof, a first priority security interest in, all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, wherever located, whether now owned or existing or hereafter existing or acquired or arising or in which Pledgor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest, and all proceeds and products thereof (all of the following, herein, collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):

 

(a)                                 the Pledged Shares, and the certificates representing the Pledged Shares, and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares;

 

(b)                                 all additional shares of Capital Stock from time to time acquired by Pledgor in any manner, including, without limitation, stock dividends or distributions in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off (all of which shares shall constitute additional Pledged Shares), and the certificates representing such additional Pledged Shares and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such additional Pledged Shares;

 

(c)                                  all options and rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution of or in exchange for any such Pledged Shares, and all such dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds paid or payable or distributed or distributable in respect of the foregoing; and

 

3

 

(d)                                 each Organization Document or investment agreement related to the Pledged Shares, all rights of Pledgor to receive amounts due and to become due under or in respect of any Organization Document or investment agreement, all rights of access to the books and records of any Issuer, and all other rights, powers, privileges, interests, claims and other property in any manner arising out of or relating to any of the foregoing, of whatever kind or character, including, without limitation, Pledgor’s right to vote and to manage and administer the business of any Issuer pursuant to any applicable Organization Document, together with all certificates, instruments and entries upon the books of securities intermediaries at any time evidencing any of the foregoing.

 

3.                                      Security for Obligations.

4.                                      Pledgor Remains Liable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) Pledgor shall remain liable under any Organization Document of any Issuer, and any other agreements relating to the Pledged Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Pledged Collateral, and (c) the Secured Party shall have no obligation or liability under any Organization Document of any Issuer, or any other agreements relating to the Pledged Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

 

5.                                      Delivery of Pledged Collateral; Financing Statements.

 

(a)                                 Pledgor hereby authorizes each Issuer, upon demand by the Secured Party, to deliver any certificates, instruments or other distributions issued in connection with the Pledged Collateral directly to the Secured Party, and to the extent delivered to the Secured Party, in each case to be held by the Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof.  The Secured Party shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in its discretion, and without notice to Pledgor (except as otherwise may be provided herein or in the Note Purchase Agreement), to transfer to or to register in the name of the Secured Party or any of its nominees, any or all of the Pledged Shares.  In addition, following an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall have the right to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Shares for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

 

(b)                                 Pledgor has delivered (within the meaning of Section 8-301(a) of the applicable UCC), to the Secured Party, any such certificates or instruments issued in connection with the Pledged Collateral of Pledgor as of the date hereof and shall promptly in the future deliver (within the meaning of Section 8-301(a) of the applicable UCC) to the Secured Party, any

 

4

 

such additional certificates or instruments issued in connection with the Pledged Collateral of Pledgor, in each case, accompanied by instruments of transfer and assignment duly endorsed in blank, to be held by the Secured Party, as custodian for Pledgor and as a result of such delivery, the Secured Party has “control” of the Pledged Collateral within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the applicable UCC, and the Secured Party is a “protected purchaser” within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the applicable UCC;

 

(c)                                  Proper financing statements describing the Pledged Collateral, naming Pledgor as debtor and the Secured Party as secured party, and original executed copies of all other similar instruments or documents, as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party, desirable under the laws of all appropriate jurisdictions or any comparable law to perfect the Secured Party’s interests in the Pledged Collateral (to the extent that such interests are sought to be perfected pursuant to Article 9 of the applicable UCC) shall be delivered to the Secured Party, in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, on or prior to the date hereof (or, with respect to Pledged Collateral acquired in the future, on or prior to the date of such acquisition).

 

6.                                      Representations and Warranties.  Pledgor makes the following representations and warranties to the Secured Party:

 

(a)                                 Sole Holder of Record.  Pledgor is, and at the time of delivery of any additional Pledged Shares to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof will be, the sole holder of record and the sole beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral free and clear of any Lien thereon or affecting the title thereto except for the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement and the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement); Pledgor has all necessary authority to pledge, sell, transfer, and assign the Pledged Collateral as provided herein, and such assignment and transfer, and any subsequent foreclosure or other realization upon the Pledged Collateral pursuant hereto (whether acquired by the Secured Party or a third party), are not contrary to or in conflict with any Organization Document of any Issuer, or any other agreements relating to the Pledged Shares.

 

(b)                                 Authorized Shares.  All of the Pledged Shares have been duly authorized, are validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to any additional capital requirement.

 

(c)                                  No Restrictions on Transfer.  There are no restrictions on transfer of the Pledged Shares contained in any Organization Document of any Issuer which have not otherwise been enforceably and legally waived by the necessary parties.

 

(d)                                 Legal Obligation of Pledgor.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Pledgor and is the legal and binding obligation of Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(e)                                  Compliance with Laws; Consents.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of any of the transactions hereby contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, will contravene or materially conflict with (i) any material provision of law, statute, or regulation to which Pledgor is subject, or (ii) any

 

5

 

judgment, license, order, or permit applicable to Pledgor.  No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any governmental authority, member, or third party is required that has not been received or taken (i) for the grant by Pledgor of security interests in the Pledged Collateral, (ii) for the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement by Pledgor, (iii) for the perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral (except for the completion of filings under the Uniform Commercial Code), or (iv) except for such notices as are required by the UCC or the Note Purchase Agreement, for the exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(f)                                   Jurisdiction of Pledgor.  The jurisdiction of Pledgor is Delaware.

 

(g)                                  No Violation of Securities Regulations.  None of the Pledged Shares has been issued or transferred in violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject.

 

(h)                                 Capital Stock of Issuers.  On the date hereof, the authorized Capital Stock of each Issuer consists of the number of shares of Capital Stock, with the number of shares issued and outstanding, that are described in Schedule I hereto.  As of the date hereof, (i) no subscription, warrant, option, preemptive right or other right to purchase or acquire any shares of any class of Capital Stock of each Issuer is authorized and outstanding, and (ii) there is no commitment by any Issuer to issue any such shares, warrants, options or other such rights or securities.  The Pledged Shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Issuer.  The Pledged Shares constitute all of the Capital Stock on record and beneficially owned by Pledgor.

 

(i)                                     First Priority Security Interest.

 

(i)                                     The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement will create a valid and continuing first priority Lien on and a priority perfected security interest in the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations;

 

(ii)                                  each certificate representing the Pledged Shares constitutes a “certificated security” in registered form within the meaning of the applicable UCC, and is the sole instrument (whether certificated or uncertificated) representing membership or other ownership interests in any Issuer; and

 

(iii)                               each Organization Document or investment agreement related to the Pledged Shares and under which the Pledged Shares were issued and the certificate representing the Pledged Shares provides that such certificate and the Pledged Shares represented thereby and in connection therewith are, in accordance with Section 8-103(c) of the applicable UCC, securities governed by Article 8 of the applicable UCC.

 

7.                                      Covenants.  Pledgor covenants and agrees that until the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted):

 

6

 

(a)                                 Without the prior written consent of the Secured Party or as otherwise expressly permitted under and in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of its rights in or to the Pledged Collateral or any interest therein; nor will Pledgor create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, mortgage, Lien, charge, encumbrance or any security interest whatsoever with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral or any unpaid dividends or other distributions or payments with respect thereto or the proceeds thereof other than that created hereby, and by the Security Documents (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).

 

(b)                                 Pledgor will cause the Pledged Shares of each Issuer to constitute at all times 100% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of such Issuer and Pledgor will not, without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, cause or permit any Issuer to issue or grant any warrants, stock options of any nature or other instruments convertible into shares of any class of Capital Stock or issue any additional shares of capital stock or sell or transfer any treasury stock or otherwise admit any other Person as a partner or member.

 

(c)                                  Pledgor will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Secured Party from time to time may reasonably request in order to ensure to the Secured Party the benefits of the Lien and security interest in and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement, including, but without limitation, delivering to the Secured Party upon the occurrence of an Event of Default irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged Collateral in form satisfactory to the Secured Party. Until receipt thereof, after the occurrence of an Event of Default this Agreement shall constitute Pledgor’s proxy to the Secured Party or its nominee to vote all shares of Pledged Collateral then registered in Pledgor’s name during any such period that an Event of Default shall be continuing and, IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING AND WITHOUT LIMITATION THEREOF, PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE SECURED PARTY AS THE TRUE AND LAWFUL PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF PLEDGOR, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION IN THE PREMISES, TO EXERCISE ALL SUCH VOTING, CONSENSUAL AND OTHER RIGHTS AND POWERS TO WHICH ANY HOLDER OF ANY PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF HOLDING THE SAME, WHICH PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY, BEING COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, IS IRREVOCABLE AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR SO LONG AS THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE IN EFFECT.

 

(d)                                 Pledgor will defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the Lien and security interest of the Secured Party thereon against the claim of any Person and will maintain and preserve such Lien and security interest until the date of termination of the Note Purchase Agreement and indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

 

(e)                                  Pledgor will pay all taxes, assessments and charges levied, assessed or imposed upon the Pledged Collateral before the same become delinquent or become Liens upon any of the Pledged Collateral except where the same may be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been provided.

 

7

 

(f)                                   Except as permitted by Section 8(a)(ii) hereof with respect to certain cash dividends, Pledgor will cause any additional Pledged Collateral issued to or received by it to be forthwith deposited and pledged with the Secured Party, in each case accompanied by instruments of assignment in conformity with Section 5 hereof and shall promptly deliver a duly executed amendment to this Agreement in respect thereof.

 

(g)                                  To the extent any agreement requires the consent or agreement of Pledgor to the transfer, conveyance, or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral subject to such agreement, Pledgor hereby irrevocably consents to (i) the grant of the security interest described in this Agreement, (ii) the transfer or conveyance of such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Secured Party’s exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, (iii) the grant of a security interest under this Agreement in favor of the Secured Party of any other interests in any Issuer by any other owner of such Issuer, and (iv) the transfer or conveyance of any other interests in any Issuer by any other owners of such Issuer pursuant to the Secured Party’s exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

 

(h)                                 Each Organization Document or investment agreement related to the Pledged Shares and under which the Pledged Shares were issued and the certificate representing the Pledged Shares provides that Pledgor will not, and Pledgor covenants that it will not, take any action to cause, or permit any action, which results in the certificates representing the Pledged Shares or the Pledged Shares to (i) no longer be governed by Article 8 of the applicable UCC (including, without limitation, taking any action to “opt-out” of Article 8 of the applicable UCC), and (ii) no longer be a “certificated security” in registered form within the meaning of the applicable UCC (including, without limitation, conversion from being a “certificated security” to being an “uncertificated security” within the meaning of the applicable UCC).

 

(i)                                     If any Pledged Shares (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) are “uncertificated securities” within the meaning of the UCC or are otherwise not evidenced by any certificate or instrument, Pledgor will promptly notify the Secured Party thereof and will promptly take and cause to be taken, all actions required under Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC and any other applicable law, to enable the Secured Party, to acquire “control” (within the meaning of such term under Section 8-106 (or its successor provision) of the UCC) of such uncertificated securities and as may be otherwise necessary or deemed appropriate by the Secured Party to perfect the security interest of the Secured Party therein, including the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

 

(j)                                    Pledgor shall not agree to any amendment or supplement to, modification or waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any Organization Document or investment agreement related to the Pledged Shares.

 

8.                                      Pledgor’s Rights; Termination of Rights.

 

(a)                                 As long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

8

 

(i)                                     Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken by Pledgor (without the prior written consent of the Secured Party) which would have the effect of impairing the position of the Secured Party hereunder or which would authorize or effect (A) the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of any Issuer, (B) the consolidation or merger of any Issuer with any other Person, (C) the sale, disposition or encumbrance of any material portion of the assets of any Issuer or a business or division of any Issuer, (D) any change in the authorized number of shares, the stated capital or the authorized shares of any Issuer or the issuance of any additional shares of Capital Stock of any Issuer, or (E) the alteration of the voting rights with respect to the Capital Stock of any Issuer, except in the case of any of the foregoing that would be permitted under the Note Purchase Agreement;

 

(ii)                                  Pledgor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive, for Pledgor’s own use, all dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Shares, to the extent then permitted to be paid under the Note Purchase Agreement, other than any and all (A) dividends or distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or to the extent representing an extraordinary return on capital, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that (i) until actually paid, all rights to such dividends or distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement and (ii) any and all such dividends and distributions payable to Pledgor shall be deposited into a Control Account and in the event any such dividend and distribution is paid to any other location, Pledgor shall take all necessary action to cause transfer the proceeds thereof into a Control Account.

 

(b)                                 All dividends (other than such cash dividends as are permitted to be paid to Pledgor in accordance with clause (a)(ii) above) and all other distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Shares, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Secured Party, to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, as applicable, be segregated from all other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Secured Party, as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment).

 

(c)                                  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, all of Pledgor’s rights to exercise voting and other consensual rights pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) hereof and all of Pledgor’s rights to receive any cash dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party who shall have the sole and exclusive right to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) hereof and to receive and retain the dividends and distributions which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof; provided,

 

9

 

however, that notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, no voting or other consensual rights shall be vested in the Secured Party, unless and until the Secured Party gives written notice to Pledgor that the Secured Party intends to have such voting or other consensual rights vest in itself.  Pledgor shall not be permitted to exercise or refrain from exercising any voting rights or other powers if, in the reasonable judgment of the Secured Party or the Majority Noteholders, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral, any part thereof, or the Secured Party’s interest therein.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, Pledgor shall pay over to the Secured Party, any cash dividends or distributions received by Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Collateral and any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Secured Party, shall be retained by the Secured Party as Pledged Collateral hereunder and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Until so paid over, such cash dividends or distributions shall be segregated from all other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Secured Party, as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment).  Further, the Secured Party shall have the right, at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to notify and direct any Issuer to thereafter make all payments, dividends and any other distributions payable in respect thereof directly to the Secured Party.  The Issuer shall be fully protected in relying on the written statement of the Secured Party that it then holds a security interest which entitles it to receive such payments and distributions.

 

9.                                      Defaults and Remedies.  (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, without any other notice to or demand upon Pledgor (except as set forth herein), the Secured Party may exercise all rights of a secured party under the UCC, and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which the Pledged Collateral is located and such other rights and remedies at law, in equity or otherwise.  In addition, the Secured Party is hereby authorized and empowered to then (i) transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, (ii) exercise the voting rights with respect thereto, (iii) exercise all corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral including, without limitation, all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any shares of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, but without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any or all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of any Issuer, as issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by any Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, (iv) collect and receive all cash dividends and other distributions made thereon, (v) sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale is to take place (which notice Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable), but without any previous notice or advertisement, the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and (vi) otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Secured Party was the outright owner thereof.  Any sale shall be made on any securities exchange on which any Pledged Shares may be listed, at a public or private sale at the Secured Party’s place of business, or at any public building in the City of New York, New York or elsewhere to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon

 

10

 

credit or for future delivery at such price as the Secured Party may deem fair, and the Secured Party may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Pledgor or any right of redemption, which Pledgor hereby waives to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and Secured Party may make payment therefor by endorsement and application (without recourse) of the Secured Obligations in lieu of cash as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Pledged Collateral.  Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but the Secured Party reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate.  Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Secured Party.  In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold, and in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may again be sold upon giving like notice.

 

(b)                                 If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Pledged Collateral be offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to the Secured Party, in its reasonable discretion, the unlikelihood of the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Pledged Collateral being sufficient to discharge all the Secured Obligations, or for any other reason in the Secured Party’s reasonable discretion, the Secured Party may, on one or more occasions and in its reasonable discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor.

 

(c)                                  If, at any time the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its rights to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Secured Party may, in its reasonable discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Secured Party, in its discretion (i) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Securities Act, (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing of its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or part thereof, and (iv) may place all or any part of the Pledged Collateral with an investment banking firm for private placement which firm shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the Pledged Collateral for its own account.  In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 9, if any of the

 

11

 

Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Securities Act at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 9, then the Secured Party shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions (i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale, (ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof, (iii) as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information about Pledgor and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment, for its own account, and not with a view of the distribution thereof, and (iv) as to such other matters as the Secured Party may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the UCC and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws.

 

(d)                                 Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof.  Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit Pledgor to cause such securities to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor would agree to do so.

 

(e)                                  Pledgor agrees that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so.  Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Secured Party provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies.  No failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon Pledgor by the Secured Party with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Secured Party’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against Pledgor in any respect and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy shall preclude any other exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Pledged Collateral except such as result from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

12

 

(f)                                   If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgor shall have received from the Secured Party a written request or requests that Pledgor cause any registration, qualification or compliance under any federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Shares, Pledgor will, as soon as practicable and at its expense, use its best efforts to cause such registration to be effected and be kept effective and will use its best efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected and be kept effective as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Pledged Shares, including, without limitation, registration under the Securities Act, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with any other applicable requirements of governmental authorities; provided, that the Secured Party shall furnish to Pledgor such information regarding the Secured Party as Pledgor may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance.  Pledgor will cause the Secured Party to be kept reasonably advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish to the Secured Party such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto as the Secured Party from time to time may reasonably request, and will indemnify the Secured Party and all others participating in the distribution of such Pledged Shares against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to Pledgor by the Secured Party expressly for use therein.

 

(g)                                  The Secured Party shall have all rights, remedies, and recourse granted in the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents or existing at common law or equity (including specifically those granted by the UCC), and such rights and remedies (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (ii) may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against Pledgor and any party obligated to pay or perform the Secured Obligations, any of the Pledged Collateral, or any other security for any of the Secured Obligations, at the sole discretion of the Secured Party, and (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Pledgor that the exercise or failure to exercise any such rights or remedies shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

 

(h)                                 Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).  Pledgor further acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages which would be suffered by the Secured Party by reason of a breach of any

 

13

 

of such covenants and, consequently, agrees that, if the Secured Party shall sue for damages for breach, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the value of the Pledged Collateral pledged by Pledgor on the date that the Secured Party shall demand compliance with this Section 9, and (ii) the amount required to pay in full the Secured Obligations.

 

10.                               Reimbursement; Application of Proceeds.  Pledgor shall reimburse the Secured Party for all of the Secured Party’s expenses incurred in connection with the execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of the Secured Party’s legal counsel, accountants and any other third Persons, and all costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party (including attorney’s fees and disbursements) to: (i) commence, defend or intervene in any court proceeding; (ii) cause the Pledged Shares to be registered under the Securities Act; (iii) file a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings, or to take any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) relating to this Agreement; and (iv) enforce any of the Secured Party’s rights to collect any of the Secured Obligations.  Pledgor also agrees to pay, and to save harmless the Secured Party from any delay in paying, any intangibles, documentary stamp and other taxes, if any, which may be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.  In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Secured Obligations, Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

 

11.                               Information.  Pledgor will promptly give or cause to be given written notice to the Secured Party of any notices or other documents adverse to the interests of the Secured Party received by it with respect to Pledged Collateral registered in the name of Pledgor.

 

12.                               Power of Attorney.  Pledgor appoints the Secured Party as Pledgor’s attorney, with power to endorse Pledgor’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other form of payment or security representing a portion of the Pledged Collateral that may come into the Secured Party’s possession and to do all things necessary to carry out this Agreement.  Pledgor ratifies and approves all such acts of such attorney.  This power, coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

 

13.                               Waiver.  No delay on the Secured Party’s part in exercising any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon Pledgor by the Secured Party with respect to any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Secured Party’s right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Secured Party’s, Administrative Agent’s or any Noteholder’s rights as against Pledgor in any respect and no single or partial exercise of any right hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

14

 

14.                               Assignment.  The Secured Party may assign, endorse or transfer any instrument evidencing all or any part of the Secured Obligations to any Person, and the holder of such instrument shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

 

15.                               Termination; Releases.

 

(a)                                 Promptly following the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), the Secured Party shall, at Pledgor’s expense, deliver to Pledgor the Pledged Collateral pledged by Pledgor at the time subject to this Agreement and all instruments of assignment executed in connection therewith, free and clear of the Liens hereof and, except as otherwise provided herein, all of Pledgor’s obligations hereunder shall at such time terminate.

 

(b)                                 So long as (i) no Default or Event of Default then exists and would not occur as a result of any such transaction, and (ii) such transaction is not otherwise prohibited by the Note Purchase Agreement, Pledgor may sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Pledged Collateral in an arms-length transaction and the Secured Party, at the request and sole expense of Pledgor, shall deliver to Pledgor any such Pledged Collateral then in the possession of the Secured Party and execute and deliver such other releases or documents reasonably necessary to release the Secured Party’s Lien on such Pledged Collateral.

 

16.                               Lien Absolute.  All rights of the Secured Party hereunder, and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by reason of any of the following, whether or not Pledgor has knowledge thereof:

 

(1)                                 any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any Secured Obligations, or any amendment, modification or supplement to, restatement of, or consent to any rescission or waiver of or departure from, any provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;

 

(2)                                 the invalidity or unenforceability of any Secured Obligations or any provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;

 

(3)                                 the addition or release of any Note Parties or the taking, acceptance or release of any Secured Obligations or additional Collateral or other security therefor;

 

(4)                                 any sale, exchange, release, substitution, compromise, nonperfection or other action or inaction in respect of any Collateral or other direct or indirect security for any Secured Obligations, or any discharge, modification, settlement, compromise or other action or inaction in respect of any Secured Obligations;

 

(5)                                 any agreement not to pursue or enforce or any failure to pursue or enforce (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of operation of law, court order or otherwise) any right or remedy in respect of any Secured Obligations or any Collateral or

 

15

 

other security therefor, or any failure to create, protect, perfect, secure, insure, continue or maintain any Liens in any such Collateral or other security;

 

(6)                                 the exercise of any right or remedy available under the Note Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise in respect of any Collateral or other security for any Secured Obligations, in any order and by any manner thereby permitted, including, without limitation, foreclosure on any such Collateral or other security by any manner of sale thereby permitted, whether or not every aspect of such sale is commercially reasonable;

 

(7)                                 any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, insolvency, dissolution, termination, reorganization or like change in the corporate structure or existence of Pledgor, any other Note Party or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Secured Obligations;

 

(8)                                 any manner of application of any payments by or amounts received or collected from any Person, by whomsoever paid and howsoever realized, whether in reduction of any Secured Obligations or any other obligations of Pledgor or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Secured Obligations, regardless of what Secured Obligations may remain unpaid after any such application; or

 

(9)                                 any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense, set-off or counterclaim available to, Pledgor, any other Note Party or a surety or guarantor generally, other than the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

 

17.                               Release.  Pledgor consents and agrees that the Secured Party may at any time, or from time to time, in its discretion (a) renew, extend or change the time of payment, and/or the manner, place or terms of payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations and (b) exchange, release and/or surrender all or any of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, by whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by the Secured Party in connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations; all in such manner and upon such terms as the Secured Party may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from Pledgor, it being hereby agreed that Pledgor shall be and remain bound upon this Agreement, irrespective of the existence, value or condition of any of the Pledged Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also that the Secured Obligations may, at any time exceed the aggregate principal amount thereof set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, or any other agreement governing any Secured Obligations.  Pledgor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, and also presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Secured Obligations, and promptness in commencing suit against any party hereto or liable hereon, and in giving any notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder upon Pledgor.

18.                               The Secured Party’s Right to Take Action.  In the event that Pledgor fails or refuses to perform any of its obligations set forth herein, including, without limitation its obligation pursuant to Section 7(e) hereof to pay taxes, assessments and other charges levied, assessed or imposed on the Pledged Collateral, or otherwise fails or refuses to pay any amount necessary for the preservation and protection of the Pledged Collateral, the Secured Party shall have the right, without obligation, to do all things it deems reasonably necessary or advisable to discharge the same (including, without limitation, to pay any such taxes, assessments, charges or other sums, together with interest and penalties thereon) and any sums paid by the Secured Party or the cost thereof, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, shall be reimbursed by Pledgor to the Secured Party on demand and, until so reimbursed, shall bear interest at the rate prescribed in the Note Purchase Agreement as the Default Rate.

 

19.                               Indemnification.  Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold the Secured Party harmless from and against (a) any taxes, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, suits, costs, actions, judgments, claims and damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, and other reasonable expenses incurred or arising by reason of the taking or the failure to take action by the Secured Party, in good faith, in respect of any transaction effected under this Agreement or in connection with the Lien provided for herein, including, without limitation, any taxes payable in connection with the delivery or registration of any of the Pledged Collateral as provided herein, and (b) any liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, suits, costs, actions, judgments, claims and damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements and other reasonable expenses which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Secured Party in any litigation, proceeding or investigation, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing brought under any federal or state securities laws which is threatened, instituted or conducted by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of or any transaction contemplated by or referred to in, or any other matter related to this Agreement, whether or not the Secured Party is a party thereto; excluding, however, in the case of both clauses (a) and (b), any of the foregoing to the extent arising from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The obligations of Pledgor under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

20.                               Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 No Liability to the Secured Party.  The recitals of fact herein shall be taken as statements of Pledgor for which the Secured Party assumes no responsibility.  The Secured Party makes no representation to anyone as to the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or as to the validity or adequacy of the security afforded or intended to be afforded thereby or as to the validity of this Agreement.  The Secured Party shall be protected in relying upon any notice, consent, request or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by a proper Person.  The permissive rights of the Secured Party hereunder shall not be construed as duties of the Secured Party.  The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to take any action toward the enforcement of this Agreement or rights or remedies in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral.  Neither the Secured Party nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

17

 

(b)                                 Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended only if in writing and executed by Secured Party and Pledgor in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that Schedules to this Agreement may be supplemented from time to time (provided that any such supplements which delete Pledged Collateral, shall be subject to compliance with any and all Collateral release provisions set forth in the Note Documents).

 

(c)                                  Successors and Assigns.  All of the rights, privileges, remedies and options given to the Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of their successors and assigns; and all the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall bind the representatives, successors and assigns of the Secured Party and Pledgor.  Pledgor may not assign this Agreement to any Person.

 

(d)                                 Limitation by Law.  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 provision of law.

 

(e)                                  Secured Party Actions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise or non-exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder, and the application of any proceeds of the Pledged Collateral or other payments made hereunder by Pledgor, shall in all events be subject to any applicable provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

(f)                                   Interpretation.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  In case any security interest or other right of the Secured Party shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other security interest or other right, privilege or power granted under this Agreement.

 

(g)                                  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

(h)                                 Injunctive Relief.  Pledgor recognizes that, in the event that Pledgor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Secured Party; therefore, Pledgor agrees that the Secured Party, if the Secured Party so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

(i)                                     Notices.  Any notice or request hereunder shall be given to Pledgor or to the Secured Party in the manner prescribed therefor in the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

(j)                                    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which when taken together

 

18

 

shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

(k)                                 Recapture.

(l)                                     Section Headings.  Any section headings used herein are solely for the convenience of the parties and shall be without legal effect.

 

(m)                             Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence in all matters pertaining to the payment or performance by Pledgor of its obligations hereunder.

20

 

security interest herein by Pledgor not result in a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other transfer that could be set aside in a proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws.

The amount of the Secured Obligations so limited hereunder may increase from time to time as the maximum amount for which Pledgor would be liable without rendering such grant subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable state law increases.

No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any governmental authority, member, or third party is required that has not been received or taken (i) for the grant by such Pledgor of security interests in the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor, (ii) for the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement by such Pledgor, (iii) for the perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral (except for the completion of filings under the Uniform Commercial Code), or (iv) except for such notices as are required by the UCC or the Note Purchase Agreement, for the exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(f)                                   Jurisdiction of Pledgors.  The jurisdiction of such Pledgor is as set forth on Schedule II attached hereto.

 

(g)                                  No Violation of Securities Regulations.  None of the Pledged Shares has been issued or transferred in violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject.

On the date hereof, the authorized Capital Stock of each Issuer consists of the number of shares of Capital Stock, with the number of shares issued and outstanding, that are described in Schedule I hereto.  As of the date hereof, (i) no subscription, warrant, option, preemptive right or other right to purchase or acquire any shares of any class of Capital Stock of each Issuer is authorized and outstanding, and (ii) there is no commitment by any Issuer to issue any such shares, warrants, options or other such rights or securities.  Except as set forth on Schedule I, the Pledged Shares of such Pledgor constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each applicable Issuer.  The Pledged Shares of each Pledgor constitute all of the Capital Stock on record and beneficially owned by such Pledgor.

 

(i)                                     First Priority Security Interest.

 

(i)                                     The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement will create a valid and continuing first priority Lien on and a 

 

7

 

priority perfected security interest in the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations;

 

(ii)                                  each certificate representing the Pledged Shares (A) in a corporation or (B) that are Certificated Interests (as defined below), constitutes a “certificated security” in registered form within the meaning of the applicable UCC and is the sole instrument (whether certificated or uncertificated) representing membership or other ownership interests in the applicable Issuer;

 

(iii)                               as to all Pledged Shares that are limited liability company interests or partnership interests and are represented by a certificate, as reflected on Schedule I hereto (the “Certificated Interests”), each Organization Document or investment agreement related to such Pledged Shares and under which such Pledged Shares were issued and the certificate representing such Pledged Shares provides that such certificate and the Pledged Shares represented thereby and in connection therewith are, in accordance with Section 8-103(c) of the applicable UCC, securities governed by Article 8 of the applicable UCC; and

 

(iv)                              As to all limited liability company interests or partnership interests issued under any Organization Documents that are not Certificated Interests, such Pledged Shares issued pursuant to such agreement (i) are not and shall not be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (ii) do not and will not constitute investment company securities, and (iii) are not and will not be held by such Pledgor in a securities account.  In addition, none of Organization Documents governing any of the Pledged Shares that are not Certificated Interests issued under any operating agreement or partnership agreement or any other agreement related thereto provide that such Pledged Shares are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction and that none of the articles of organization, the operating agreements, the partnership agreements and the other agreements governing any of the uncertificated Pledged Shares provide that such Pledged Shares may be certificated.

 

7.                                      Covenants.  Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that until the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted):

 

(a)                                 Without the prior written consent of the Secured Party or as otherwise expressly permitted under and in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, such Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of its rights in or to any of its Pledged Collateral or any interest therein; nor will such Pledgor create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, mortgage, Lien, charge, encumbrance or any security interest whatsoever with respect to any of its Pledged Collateral or any unpaid dividends or other distributions or payments with respect thereto or the proceeds thereof other than that created hereby and by the Security Documents (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).

 

(b)                                 Except as set forth on Schedule I, such Pledgor will cause the Pledged Shares of each Issuer to constitute at all times 100% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of such Issuer and such Pledgor will not, without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, 

 

8

 

cause or permit any Issuer to issue or grant any warrants, stock options of any nature or other instruments convertible into shares of any class of Capital Stock or issue any additional shares of capital stock or sell or transfer any treasury stock or otherwise admit any other Person as a stockholder, partner or member.

 

(c)                                  Such Pledgor will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Secured Party from time to time may reasonably request in order to ensure to the Secured Party the benefits of the Lien and security interest in and to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor intended to be created by this Agreement, including, but without limitation, delivering to the Secured Party upon the occurrence of an Event of Default irrevocable proxies in respect of such Pledged Collateral in form satisfactory to the Secured Party.  Until receipt thereof, after the occurrence of an Event of Default this Agreement shall constitute such Pledgor’s proxy to the Secured Party or its nominee to vote all shares of Pledged Collateral then registered in such Pledgor’s name during any such period that an Event of Default shall be continuing and, IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING AND WITHOUT LIMITATION THEREOF, EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE SECURED PARTY AS THE TRUE AND LAWFUL PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF PLEDGOR, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION IN THE PREMISES, TO EXERCISE ALL SUCH VOTING, CONSENSUAL AND OTHER RIGHTS AND POWERS TO WHICH ANY HOLDER OF ANY PLEDGED COLLATERAL OF SUCH PLEDGOR WOULD BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF HOLDING THE SAME, WHICH PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY, BEING COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, IS IRREVOCABLE AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR SO LONG AS THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE IN EFFECT.

 

(d)                                 Such Pledgor will defend the title to its Pledged Collateral and the Lien and security interest of the Secured Party thereon against the claim of any Person and will maintain and preserve such Lien and security interest until the date of termination of the Note Purchase Agreement and indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

 

(e)                                  Such Pledgor will pay all taxes, assessments and charges levied, assessed or imposed upon its Pledged Collateral before the same become delinquent or become Liens upon any of such Pledged Collateral except where the same may be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been provided.

 

(f)                                   Except as permitted by Section 8(a)(ii) hereof with respect to certain cash dividends, such Pledgor will cause any additional Pledged Collateral issued to or received by it to be forthwith deposited and pledged with the Secured Party, in each case accompanied by instruments of assignment in conformity with Section 5 hereof and shall promptly deliver a duly executed amendment to this Agreement in respect thereof.

 

(g)                                  To the extent any agreement requires the consent or agreement of such Pledgor to the transfer, conveyance, or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor subject to such agreement, such Pledgor hereby irrevocably consents to (i) the grant of the security interest described in this Agreement, (ii) the transfer or conveyance 

 

9

 

of such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Secured Party’s exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, (iii) the grant of a security interest under this Agreement in favor of the Secured Party of any other interests in any Issuer by any other owner of such Issuer, and (iv) the transfer or conveyance of any other interests in any Issuer by any other owners of such Issuer pursuant to the Secured Party’s exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

 

(h)                                 As to all limited liability company interests or partnership interests issued under any Organization Documents that are not Certificated Interests, each Pledgor covenants that it will not, take any action to cause, or permit any action, which results in any of such Pledged Shares (i) being governed by Article 8 of the applicable UCC (including, without limitation, taking any action to “opt-in” to Article 8 of the applicable UCC), and (ii) no longer being an “uncertificated security” within the meaning of the applicable UCC (including, without limitation, conversion from being a “uncertificated security” to being a “certificated security” within the meaning of the applicable UCC).

 

(i)                                     With respect to Pledged Shares that are Certificated Interests, each Organization Document or investment agreement related to such Pledged Shares and under which such Pledged Shares were issued and the certificate representing such Pledged Shares provides that Pledgor will not, and Pledgor covenants that it will not, take any action to cause, or permit any action, which results in the certificates representing such Pledged Shares or such Pledged Shares to (i) no longer be governed by Article 8 of the applicable UCC (including, without limitation, taking any action to “opt-out” of Article 8 of the applicable UCC), and (ii) no longer be a “certificated security” in registered form within the meaning of the applicable UCC (including, without limitation, conversion from being a “certificated security” to being an “uncertificated security” within the meaning of the applicable UCC).

 

(j)                                    With respect to any limited liability company interests or partnership interests that are not Certificated Interests (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), Pledgor will promptly take and cause to be taken, all actions required under Article 9 of the UCC and any other applicable law as may be necessary or deemed appropriate by the Secured Party to perfect the security interest of the Secured Party therein, including the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

 

(k)                                 Such Pledgor shall not agree to any amendment or supplement to, modification or waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any Organization Document or investment agreement related to the Pledged Shares.

 

8.                                      Pledgors’ Rights; Termination of Rights.

 

(a)                                 As long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

(i)                                     Each Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action 

 

10

 

taken by any Pledgor (without the prior written consent of the Secured Party) which would have the effect of impairing the position of the Secured Party hereunder or which would authorize or effect (A) the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of any Issuer, (B) the consolidation or merger of any Issuer with any other Person, (C) the sale, disposition or encumbrance of any material portion of the assets of any Issuer or a business or division of any Issuer, (D) any change in the authorized number of shares, the stated capital or the authorized shares of any Issuer or the issuance of any additional shares of Capital Stock of any Issuer, or (E) the alteration of the voting rights with respect to the Capital Stock of any Issuer, except in the case of any of the foregoing that would be permitted under the Note Purchase Agreement;

 

(ii)                                  each Pledgor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive, for such Pledgor’s own use, all dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Shares, to the extent then permitted to be paid under the Note Purchase Agreement, other than any and all (A) dividends or distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or to the extent representing an extraordinary return on capital, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that (i) until actually paid, all rights to such dividends or distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement and (ii) any and all such dividends and distributions payable to any Pledgor shall be deposited into a Control Account and in the event any such dividend and distribution is paid to any other location, the applicable Pledgor shall take all necessary action to cause transfer the proceeds thereof into a Control Account.

 

(b)                                 All dividends (other than such cash dividends as are permitted to be paid to Pledgors in accordance with clause (a)(ii) above) and all other distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Shares, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Secured Party, to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, be segregated from all other property or funds of such Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Secured Party, as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment).

 

(c)                                  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, all of each Pledgor’s rights to exercise voting and other consensual rights pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) hereof and all of such Pledgor’s rights to receive any cash dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party who shall have the sole and exclusive right to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which such Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) hereof and to receive and retain the dividends and distributions which such Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, no voting or other consensual rights shall be vested in the Secured Party, unless and until the Secured Party gives written notice to WCI HoldCo that the Secured Party intends to 

 

11

 

have such voting or other consensual rights vest in itself.  No Pledgor shall be permitted to exercise or refrain from exercising any voting rights or other powers if, in the reasonable judgment of the Secured Party or the Majority Noteholders, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor, any part thereof, or the Secured Party’s interest therein.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, each Pledgor shall pay over to the Secured Party, any cash dividends or distributions received by such Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Collateral and any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Secured Party, shall be retained by the Secured Party as Pledged Collateral hereunder and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Until so paid over, such cash dividends or distributions shall be segregated from all other property or funds of such Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Secured Party, as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment).  Further, the Secured Party shall have the right, at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to notify and direct any Issuer to thereafter make all payments, dividends and any other distributions payable in respect thereof directly to the Secured Party.  The Issuer shall be fully protected in relying on the written statement of the Secured Party that it then holds a security interest which entitles it to receive such payments and distributions.

 

9.                                      Defaults and Remedies.  (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, without any other notice to or demand upon any Pledgor (except as set forth herein), the Secured Party may exercise all rights of a secured party under the UCC, and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which the Pledged Collateral is located and such other rights and remedies at law, in equity or otherwise.  In addition, the Secured Party is hereby authorized and empowered to then (i) transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, (ii) exercise the voting rights with respect thereto, (iii) exercise all corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral including, without limitation, all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any shares of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, but without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any or all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of any Issuer, as issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by any Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, (iv) collect and receive all cash dividends and other distributions made thereon, (v) sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale is to take place (which notice Pledgors agree is commercially reasonable), but without any previous notice or advertisement, the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and (vi) otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Secured Party was the outright owner thereof.  Any sale shall be made on any securities exchange on which any Pledged Shares may be listed, at a public or private sale at the Secured Party’s place of business, or at any public building in the City of New York, New York or elsewhere to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as the Secured Party may deem fair, and the Secured Party may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of any Pledgor or any right of 

 

12

 

redemption, which each Pledgor hereby waives to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and Secured Party may make payment therefor by endorsement and application (without recourse) of the Secured Obligations in lieu of cash as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Pledged Collateral.  Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but the Secured Party reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate.  Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Secured Party.  In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold, and in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may again be sold upon giving like notice.

 

(b)                                 If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Pledged Collateral be offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to the Secured Party, in its reasonable discretion, the unlikelihood of the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Pledged Collateral being sufficient to discharge all the Secured Obligations, or for any other reason in the Secured Party’s reasonable discretion, the Secured Party may, on one or more occasions and in its reasonable discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice to WCI HoldCo.

 

(c)                                  If, at any time the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its rights to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Secured Party may, in its reasonable discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Secured Party, in its discretion (i) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Securities Act, (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing of its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or part thereof, and (iv) may place all or any part of the Pledged Collateral with an investment banking firm for private placement which firm shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the Pledged Collateral for its own account.  In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 9, if any of the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Securities Act at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 9, then the Secured Party shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its 

 

13

 

discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions (i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale, (ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof, (iii) as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating’ to that Person’s access to financial information about the applicable Pledgor and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment, for its own account, and not with a view of the distribution thereof, and (iv) as to such other matters as the Secured Party may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the UCC and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws.

 

(d)                                 Each Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof.  Each Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Pledgor to cause such securities to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Pledgor would agree to do so.

 

(e)                                  Each Pledgor agrees that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and such Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so.  Each Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Secured Party provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies.  No failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by the Secured Party with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Secured Party’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against any Pledgor in any respect and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy shall preclude any other exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  Each Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Pledged Collateral except such as result from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(f)                                   If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Pledgor shall have received from the Secured Party a written request or requests that such Pledgor cause any registration, qualification or compliance under any federal or state 

 

14

 

securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Shares, such Pledgor will, as soon as practicable and at its expense, use its best efforts to cause such registration to be effected and be kept effective and will use its best efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected and be kept effective as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Pledged Shares, including, without limitation, registration under the Securities Act, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with any other applicable requirements of governmental authorities; provided, that the Secured Party shall furnish to such Pledgor such information regarding the Secured Party as such Pledgor may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance.  Such Pledgor will cause the Secured Party to be kept reasonably advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish to the Secured Party such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto as the Secured Party from time to time may reasonably request, and will indemnify the Secured Party and all others participating in the distribution of such Pledged Shares against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Pledgor by the Secured Party expressly for use therein.

 

(g)                                  The Secured Party shall have all rights, remedies, and recourse granted in the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents or existing at common law or equity (including specifically those granted by the UCC), and such rights and remedies (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (ii) may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against any Pledgor and any party obligated to pay or perform the Secured Obligations, any of the Pledged Collateral, or any other security for any of the Secured Obligations, at the sole discretion of the Secured Party, and (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by each Pledgor that the exercise or failure to exercise any such rights or remedies shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

 

(h)                                 Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).  Each Pledgor further acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages which would be suffered by the Secured Party by reason of a breach of any of such covenants and, consequently, agrees that, if the Secured Party shall sue for damages for breach, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the value of the Pledged Collateral pledged by such Pledgor on the date that the

 

15

 

Secured Party shall demand compliance with this Section 9, and (ii) the amount required to pay in full the Secured Obligations.

 

10.                               Reimbursement; Application of Proceeds.  Pledgors shall reimburse the Secured Party for all of the Secured Party’s expenses incurred in connection with the execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of the Secured Party’s legal counsel, accountants and any other third Persons, and all costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party (including attorney’s fees and disbursements) to: (i) commence, defend or intervene in any court proceeding; (ii) cause the Pledged Shares to be registered under the Securities Act; (iii) file a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings, or to take any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) relating to this Agreement; and (iv) enforce any of the Secured Party’s rights to collect any of the Secured Obligations.  Pledgors also agree to pay, and to save harmless the Secured Party from any delay in paying, any intangibles, documentary stamp and other taxes, if any, which may be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.  In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Secured Obligations, Pledgors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

 

11.                               Information.  Each Pledgor will promptly give or cause to be given written notice to the Secured Party of any notices or other documents adverse to the interests of the Secured Party received by it with respect to Pledged Collateral registered in the name of such Pledgor.

 

12.                               Power of Attorney.  Each Pledgor appoints the Secured Party as such Pledgor’s attorney, with power to endorse such Pledgor’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other form of payment or security representing a portion of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor that may come into the Secured Party’s possession and to do all things necessary to carry out this Agreement.  Each Pledgor ratifies and approves all such acts of such attorney.  This power, coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

 

13.                               Waiver.  No delay on the Secured Party’s part in exercising any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by the Secured Party with respect to any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Secured Party’s right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Secured Party’s, Administrative Agent’s or any Noteholder’s rights as against such Pledgor in any respect and no single or partial exercise of any right hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

14.                               Assignment.  The Secured Party may assign, endorse or transfer any instrument evidencing all or any part of the Secured Obligations to any Person, and the holder of such instrument shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

 

16

 

15.                               Termination; Releases.

 

(a)                                 Promptly following the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), the Secured Party shall, at Pledgors’ expense, deliver to each Pledgor the Pledged Collateral pledged by such Pledgor at the time subject to this Agreement and all instruments of assignment executed in connection therewith, free and clear of the Liens hereof and, except as otherwise provided herein, all of Pledgors’ obligations hereunder shall at such time terminate.

 

(b)                                 So long as (i) no Default or Event of Default then exists and would not occur as a result of any such transaction, and (ii) such transaction is not otherwise prohibited by the Note Purchase Agreement, any Pledgor may sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor in an arms-length transaction and the Secured Party, at the request and sole expense of such Pledgor, shall deliver to such Pledgor any such Pledged Collateral then in the possession of the Secured Party and execute and deliver such other releases or documents reasonably necessary to release the Secured Party’s Lien on such Pledged Collateral.

 

16.                               Lien Absolute.  All rights of the Secured Party hereunder, and all obligations of Pledgors hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by reason of any of the following, whether or not any Pledgor has knowledge thereof:

 

(1)                                 any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any Secured Obligations, or any amendment, modification or supplement to, restatement of, or consent to any rescission or waiver of or departure from, any provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;

 

(2)                                 the invalidity or unenforceability of any Secured Obligations or any provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;

 

(3)                                 the addition or release of any Note Parties or the taking, acceptance or release of any Secured Obligations or additional Collateral or other security therefor;

 

(4)                                 any sale, exchange, release, substitution, compromise, nonperfection or other action or inaction in respect of any Collateral or other direct or indirect security for any Secured Obligations, or any discharge, modification, settlement, compromise or other action or inaction in respect of any Secured Obligations;

 

(5)                                 any agreement not to pursue or enforce or any failure to pursue or enforce (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of operation of law, court order or otherwise) any right or remedy in respect of any Secured Obligations or any Collateral or other security therefor, or any failure to create, protect, perfect, secure, insure, continue or maintain any Liens in any such Collateral or other security;

 

17

 

(6)                                 the exercise of any right or remedy available under the Note Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise in respect of any Collateral or other security for any Secured Obligations, in any order and by any manner thereby permitted, including, without limitation, foreclosure on any such Collateral or other security by any manner of sale thereby permitted, whether or not every aspect of such sale is commercially reasonable;

 

(7)                                 any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, insolvency, dissolution, termination, reorganization or like change in the corporate structure or existence of any Pledgor, any other Note Party or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Secured Obligations;

 

(8)                                 any manner of application of any payments by or amounts received or collected from any Person, by whomsoever paid and howsoever realized, whether in reduction of any Secured Obligations or any other obligations of any Pledgor or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Secured Obligations, regardless of what Secured Obligations may remain unpaid after any such application; or

 

(9)                                 any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense, set-off or counterclaim available to, any Pledgor, any other Note Party or a surety or guarantor generally, other than the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

 

17.                               Release.  Each Pledgor consents and agrees that the Secured Party may at any time, or from time to time, in its discretion (a) renew, extend or change the time of payment, and/or the manner, place or terms of payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations and (b) exchange, release and/or surrender all or any of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, by whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by the Secured Party in connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations; all in such manner and upon such terms as the Secured Party may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from such Pledgor, it being hereby agreed that each Pledgor shall be and remain bound upon this Agreement, irrespective of the existence, value or condition of any of the Pledged Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also that the Secured Obligations may, at any time exceed the aggregate principal amount thereof set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, or any other agreement governing any Secured Obligations.  Each Pledgor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, and also presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Secured Obligations, and promptness in commencing suit against any party hereto or liable hereon, and in giving any notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder upon such Pledgor.  No act or omission of any kind on Secured Party’s, Administrative Agent’s or any Noteholder’s part shall in any event affect or impair this Agreement.

 

18.                               The Secured Party’s Right to Take Action.  In the event that any Pledgor fails or refuses to perform any of its obligations set forth herein, including, without limitation its obligation pursuant to Section 7(e) hereof to pay taxes, assessments and other charges levied, assessed or imposed on the Pledged Collateral, or otherwise fails or refuses to pay any amount 

 

18

 

necessary for the preservation and protection of the Pledged Collateral, the Secured Party shall have the right, without obligation, to do all things it deems reasonably necessary or advisable to discharge the same (including, without limitation, to pay any such taxes, assessments, charges or other sums, together with interest and penalties thereon) and any sums paid by the Secured Party or the cost thereof, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, shall be reimbursed by Pledgors to the Secured Party on demand and, until so reimbursed, shall bear interest at the rate prescribed in the Note Purchase Agreement as the Default Rate.

 

19.                               Indemnification.  Each Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold the Secured Party harmless from and against (a) any taxes, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, suits, costs, actions, judgments, claims and damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, and other reasonable expenses incurred or arising by reason of the taking or the failure to take action by the Secured Party, in good faith, in respect of any transaction effected under this Agreement or in connection with the Lien provided for herein, including, without limitation, any taxes payable in connection with the delivery or registration of any of the Pledged Collateral as provided herein, and (b) any liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, suits, costs, actions, judgments, claims and damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements and other reasonable expenses which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Secured Party in any litigation, proceeding or investigation, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing brought under any federal or state securities laws which is threatened, instituted or conducted by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of or any transaction contemplated by or referred to in, or any other matter related to this Agreement, whether or not the Secured Party is a party thereto; excluding, however, in the case of both clauses (a) and (b), any of the foregoing to the extent arising from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The obligations of each Pledgor under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

20.                               Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 No Liability to the Secured Party.  The recitals of fact herein shall be taken as statements of Pledgors for which the Secured Party assumes no responsibility.  The Secured Party makes no representation to anyone as to the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or as to the validity or adequacy of the security afforded or intended to be afforded thereby or as to the validity of this Agreement.  The Secured Party shall be protected in relying upon any notice, consent, request or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by a proper Person.  The permissive rights of the Secured Party hereunder shall not be construed as duties of the Secured Party.  The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to take any action toward the enforcement of this Agreement or rights or remedies in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral.  Neither the Secured Party nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(b)                                 Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended only if in writing and executed by Secured Party and Pledgors in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that Schedules to this Agreement may be supplemented from time to time 

 

19

 

(provided that any such supplements which delete Pledged Collateral, shall be subject to compliance with any and all Collateral release provisions set forth in the Note Documents).

 

(c)                                  Successors and Assigns.  All of the rights, privileges, remedies and options given to the Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of their successors and assigns; and all the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall bind the representatives, successors and assigns of the Secured Party and each Pledgor.  No Pledgor may assign this Agreement to any Person.

 

(d)                                 Limitation by Law.  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 provision of law.

 

(e)                                  Secured Party Actions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise or non-exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder, and the application of any proceeds of the Pledged Collateral or other payments made hereunder by any Pledgor, shall in all events be subject to any applicable provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

(f)                                   Interpretation.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  In case any security interest or other right of the Secured Party shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other security interest or other right, privilege or power granted under this Agreement.

 

(g)                                  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

(h)                                 Injunctive Relief.  Each Pledgor recognizes that, in the event that such Pledgor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Secured Party; therefore, each Pledgor agrees that the Secured Party, if the Secured Party so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

(i)                                     Notices.  Any notice or request hereunder shall be given to any Pledgor or to the Secured Party in the manner prescribed therefor in the Note Purchase Agreement (with respect to the Pledgors, to WCI HoldCo).

 

(j)                                    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this 

 

20

 

Agreement by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

(k)                                 Recapture.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Secured Party receives any payment or payments on account of the Secured Obligations, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not finally retained by the Secured Party, Pledgors’ obligations to the Secured Party shall be reinstated and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to the Secured Party, which payment shall be due on demand.

 

(l)                                     Section Headings.  Any section headings used herein are solely for the convenience of the parties and shall be without legal effect.

 

(m)                             Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence in all matters pertaining to the payment or performance by each Pledgor of its obligations hereunder.

 

(n)                                 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.

 

A.                                    SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.  EACH PLEDGOR AND EACH SECURED PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE. ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT SECURED PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY PLEDGOR OR ANY OF ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 

B.                                    WAIVER OF VENUE.  EACH PLEDGOR AND EACH SECURED PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY 

 

21

 

COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (a) OF THIS SECTION.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 

C.                                    SERVICE OF PROCESS.  EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02 OF THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

 

(o)                                 Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of Consequential Damages.

 

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

 

B.                                    Except as prohibited by law, each Pledgor waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding subparagraph (a) any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages.  Each Pledgor (i) certifies that neither the Secured Party nor any representative, agent or attorney of the Secured Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Secured Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers or other waivers contained in this Agreement, and (ii) acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, the Secured Party is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained in this Section 20(o).

 

21.                               Survival of Rights, Duties, Etc.  No termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of the Note Purchase Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the powers, obligations, duties, rights and liabilities of the parties hereto in any way with respect to (i) any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination or cancellation, (ii) the Pledged Collateral, or (iii) any Pledgor’s undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations contained in this Agreement and all such undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations shall survive such termination or cancellation until all of the Secured Obligations of every nature whatsoever shall have been, fully paid and satisfied.

 

22.                               Limitation on Liability.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is the intention of each Pledgor, the Noteholders and the Secured Party that the grant 

 

22

 

of the security interest herein by each Pledgor not result in a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other transfer that could be set aside in a proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws.  Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of the Secured Obligations secured by each Pledgor’s grant of a security interest in the portion of the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Pledgor’s grant hereunder subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation Section 548 thereof, or any comparable provision of applicable state law as of the date of such determination.  The amount of the Secured Obligations so limited hereunder may increase from time to time as the maximum amount for which each Pledgor would be liable without rendering such grant subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable state law increases.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the security interest granted in this Section 2 attach to, or the term “Collateral” be deemed to include, any of the following property or assets (but shall include the proceeds of, except to the extent such proceeds are Excluded Property) (collectively, the “Excluded Property”): (i) any lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement to which any Debtor is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder, if, and for so long as, the grant of such security interest shall constitute or result in a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement or the violation of any applicable law other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity; provided, however that such security interest shall attach immediately at such time as the condition causing such breach or termination shall be remedied and to the extent severable, and shall attach immediately to any portion of such Excluded Property that does not result in any of the consequences specified above; (ii) any property which the Secured Party shall be reasonably satisfied that the expense, tax or regulatory consequences or difficulty of subjecting such property to a Lien would not, in light of the benefits that will inure to the Secured Party, justify such property being subject to such Liens and which the Secured Party has agreed in writing to designate as Excluded Property; and (iii) the Excluded Assets.

 

3.                                      Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Secured Party at any time, and from time to time, to file in any filing office in any applicable Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or such jurisdiction, or (ii) 

 

5

 

as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, or such other jurisdiction, for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Debtor. Each Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to the Secured Party promptly upon the Secured Party’s request. The Debtors shall pay all filing fees, recording costs, taxes and the like with respect to such financing statements.

 

4.                                      Other Actions. To further the attachment, perfection and first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of, and the ability of the Secured Party to enforce, the Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral, and without limitation on the Debtors’ other obligations in this Security Agreement or any other Note Document, the Debtors agree, in each case at the Debtors’ joint and several expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral:

 

4.1.                            Promissory Notes and Tangible Chattel Paper.

 

(a)                                 If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes (including those evidencing intercompany obligations payable by a Joint Venture to any Debtor, but excluding any obligation payable by any club member to a Debtor in a principal amount less than $750,000) or instruments representing or evidencing any Collateral or tangible chattel paper, in each case in a face amount of $50,000 or greater, such Debtor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Secured Party, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. Each Debtor agrees that it shall cause all intercompany obligations payable by an Excluded Subsidiary or a Joint Venture to any Debtor in excess of $500,000 to be evidenced by a promissory note, which shall be delivered to the Secured Party in accordance with the preceding sentence. Each promissory note held by the Debtors as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 6 hereto.

 

(b)                                 Each Debtor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive, for such Debtor’s own use, the payments of all principal and interest on all promissory notes payable to such Debtor, other than any and all cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in full redemption or repayment of such promissory note; provided, however, that (i) until actually paid all rights to such principal and interest shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Security Agreement and (ii) any and all such cash and interest payable to any Debtor shall be deposited into a Control Account and in the event any such principal or interest is paid to any other location, the applicable Debtor shall take all necessary action to cause transfer the proceeds thereof into a Control Account.

 

4.2.                            Deposit Accounts. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, each Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party deposit account control agreements (the “Account Control Agreements”) for each of its deposit accounts in the standard form for each such depository (with such variations as the Secured Party may reasonably require) duly executed by such Debtor. The Secured Party is authorized to execute the Account Control Agreements and obtain execution of same by the depository and do all other things necessary to 

 

6

 

perfect the Secured Party’s security interest therein. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply (i) to deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any Debtor’s salaried employees or as otherwise provided in the Note Purchase Agreement or (ii) to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7.09 of the Note Purchase Agreement. Each deposit account held by the Debtors as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 4 hereto.

 

4.3.                            Investment Property. If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities or other investment property certificated in the amount of $100,000 or greater, such Debtor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Secured Party, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Secured Party may from time to time specify. If any securities or investment property (other than investment property in the form of overnight investments, which are re-deposited into a Control Account at the beginning of the next Business Day) now or hereafter acquired by any Debtor are uncertificated and are issued to such Debtor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Debtor shall immediately notify the Secured Party thereof and, at the Secured Party’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, either (a) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Secured Party, as to such securities or investment property, without further consent of such Debtor or such nominee, or (b) arrange for the Secured Party, to become the registered owner of the securities or investment property. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by any Debtor are held by such Debtor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, such Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Party thereof and, at the Secured Party’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, either (i) cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Secured Party, to such securities intermediary as to such securities or other investment property, or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Secured Party, to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of such Debtor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of financial assets or other investment property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Secured Party, to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with such Debtor being permitted, only with the consent of the Secured Party, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment property. The Secured Party agrees with the Debtors that the Secured Party shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by the Debtors, unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, after giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights not otherwise permitted by the Note Documents, would occur.  The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Secured Party is the securities intermediary. All investment property (including securities accounts) held by the Debtors as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 5 hereto.

 

4.4.                            Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee. If any Collateral valued at $250,000 or greater is at any time in the possession of a bailee, the applicable Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Party thereof and, at the Secured Party’s request and option, shall use best efforts to promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in form and substance 

 

7

 

satisfactory to the Secured Party, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Party, and that such bailee agrees to comply, without further consent of the Debtors, with instructions from the Secured Party, as to such Collateral and waives any Lien it may have in the Collateral.

 

4.5.                            Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Debtor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction valued at $100,000 or greater, such Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Party thereof and, at the request and option of the Secured Party, shall take such action as the Secured Party may reasonably request to vest in the Secured Party, control, under sections 9-105 and 9-314 of the Uniform Commercial Code, of such electronic chattel paper or control under section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Secured Party agrees with the Debtors that the Secured Party will arrange, pursuant to procedures satisfactory to the Secured Party and so long as such procedures will not result in the Secured Party’s loss of control, for the applicable Debtor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under UCC sections 9-105 or 9-314 or, as the case may be, section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to make without loss of control, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Debtor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

 

4.6.                            Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Debtor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit that does not constitute a supporting obligation to the Collateral, such Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Party thereof and, at the request and option of the Secured Party, such Debtor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer or other nominated Person of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Secured Party of the proceeds of the letter of credit, or (ii) arrange for the Secured Party, to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Secured Party agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of the letter to credit are to be applied as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

4.7.                            Commercial Tort Claims. If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim valued at $250,000 or greater in addition to those listed in Schedule 1, such Debtor shall immediately notify the Secured Party in a writing signed by such Debtor of the particulars thereof and grant to the Secured Party in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Security Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party.

 

4.8.                            Other Actions as to Any and All Collateral. Each Debtor further agrees, at the request and option of the Secured Party to take any and all other actions the Secured Party may determine to be necessary or useful for the attachment, perfection and first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of, and the ability of the Secured Party to enforce, the Secured Party’s security interest in any and all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto 

 

8

 

under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent, if any, that such Debtor’s signature thereon is required therefor, (b) causing the Secured Party’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Secured Party to enforce, the Secured Party’s security interest in such Collateral, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Secured Party to enforce, the Secured Party’s security interest in such Collateral, (d) obtaining governmental and other third party waivers, consents and approvals in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person obligated on Collateral, (e) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, (f) placing a legend, in form and manner satisfactory to the Secured Party on, the books, records and materials evidencing or relating to the Collateral with an appropriate reference to the fact that the Collateral has been assigned to the Secured Party and that the Secured Party has a security interest therein, and (g) taking all actions under any other law as reasonably determined by the Secured Party to be applicable in any relevant Uniform Commercial Code or other jurisdiction, including any foreign jurisdiction.

 

5.                                      Pledge Agreement. Concurrently herewith (and, to the extent required by the Note Purchase Agreement, in the future) certain Debtors are executing and delivering to the Secured Party those certain Pledge Agreements in favor of the Secured Party, pursuant to which such Debtors are pledging to the Secured Party, their right, title and interest in and to all shares of the capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other indicia of equity rights issued by each such Debtor’s Subsidiaries. Such pledges shall be governed by the terms of the Pledge Agreements and not by the terms of this Security Agreement.

 

6.                                      Intellectual Property Security Agreements; Representations.

 

(a)                                 The Debtors shall execute and deliver to the Secured Party, for filing in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any equivalent office in any other jurisdiction), as applicable, any additional security agreements which the Secured Party deems necessary or desirable for the purposes of evidencing or perfecting the Secured Party’s security interests in the Intellectual Property. The provisions of such additional security agreements shall be supplemental to the provisions of this Security Agreement, and nothing contained in such supplemental security agreements shall derogate from any of the rights or remedies of the Secured Party hereunder.  The Secured Party acknowledges that, at the direction of the Initial Purchasers, it will not require the Debtors to make any filings in the United States Copyright Office on the Closing Date.

 

(b)                                 Each Debtor owns or possesses the valid right to use all Intellectual Property, free and clear of all Liens except for Liens granted in this Security Agreement and Permitted Liens, including any licensed intellectual property used by such Debtor, as the same is currently used in the conduct of such Debtor’s business; all registrations therefor have been validly issued under applicable law and all applications thereof with a governmental authority are set forth on Schedule 3 hereto, and in each case are in full force and effect; all 

 

9

 

applicable material maintenance fees, affidavits and other filings or payments for such registrations are current and shall remain current throughout the duration of this Security Agreement (except in such cases where the Debtor determines otherwise in its reasonable business judgment); no claim has been received in writing or, to the knowledge of such Debtor, orally, that any of such Intellectual Property is invalid or unenforceable or violates or infringes the rights of any other Person, and there is no such violation or infringement in existence; and to the knowledge of such Debtor, no other Person is presently infringing upon the rights of such Debtor with regard to any such Intellectual Property. All Intellectual Property owned by each Debtor and all related licenses (under which any Debtor is a licensor or licensee) used or contemplated to be used in the conduct of any Debtor’s business are set forth on Schedule 3 hereto.

 

7.                                      Representations and Warranties concerning Each Debtor’s Legal Status. As of the date hereof and upon the reasonable request of the Secured Party, each Debtor agrees to execute and deliver to the Secured Party a certificate signed by such Debtor and entitled “Perfection Certificate,” the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (as amended, supplemented or otherwise updated from time to time, the “Perfection Certificate”) within ten days of any such request of the Secured Party. Each Debtor represents and warrants to the Secured Party as follows: (a) such Debtor’s exact legal name is that indicated on Schedule 2, on any Perfection Certificate delivered as requested herein, and on the signature page hereof, (b) such Debtor is an organization of the type, and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in Schedule 2 and any Perfection Certificate delivered as requested herein, (c) Schedule 2 and any Perfection Certificate delivered as requested herein, accurately sets forth such Debtor’s organizational identification number or accurately states that such Debtor has none, (d) Schedule 2 and any Perfection Certificate delivered as requested herein, accurately sets forth such Debtor’s chief executive office, each place of business as well as such Debtor’s mailing address, if different, (e) all other information set forth on Schedule 2 and any Perfection Certificate delivered as requested herein, pertaining to such Debtor is accurate and complete, and (f) that there has been no change in any information provided on Schedule 2 and the Perfection Certificate since the date on which it was executed by such Debtor. Upon the delivery of a Perfection Certificate, each Debtor shall be deemed to have reaffirmed its representations and warranties in this Section 7 as of the date of such delivery.

 

Each Debtor acknowledges that any default in the due observance or performance by it of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein shall constitute an Event of Default to the extent provided in the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

8.                                      Representations and Warranties concerning the Collateral and Security Interest. Each Debtor has full power and authority to grant to the Secured Party the security interest in its Collateral pursuant hereto. The execution and delivery by each Debtor of this Security Agreement has been duly authorized by proper corporate or other proceedings, and this Security Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Debtor and, will create a security interest which is enforceable against each Debtor in all now owned and hereafter acquired Collateral of such Debtor.

11.                               Covenants concerning Collateral, etc.

 

(a)                                 Each Debtor further covenants with the Secured Party as follows: (i) the Collateral of such Debtor, to the extent not delivered to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 4 hereof, will be kept at those locations listed on such Debtor’s Perfection Certificate and on Schedule 2 and such Debtor will not remove its Collateral from such locations, without providing at least 15 days prior written notice to the Secured Party, (ii) except for the security interest herein granted and Permitted Liens, such Debtor shall be the owner, or have valid rights as a lessee or licensee, of its Collateral free from any right or claim of any other Person, Lien or other encumbrance, and such Debtor shall defend the same against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interests therein adverse to the Secured Party, (iii) such Debtor shall not

(b)                                 Each Debtor further covenants with the Secured Party with respect to the Intellectual Property, that it will: (i) prosecute and pursue in a commercially reasonable manner all applications in respect of its Intellectual Property, now or hereafter pending; (ii) except to the extent not required in such Debtor’s reasonable business judgment, make federal applications on all of its unpatented but patentable inventions and all of its registrable but unregistered copyrights and trademarks; (iii) preserve and maintain (and take such reasonable steps as required by applicable law to preserve and maintain) all of its material rights in such Intellectual Property and protect such Intellectual Property from infringement, unfair competition, cancellation, dedication to the public or dilution by all appropriate action necessary in such Debtor’s reasonable business judgment, including, without limitation, the commencement and prosecution of legal proceedings to recover damages for infringement and to defend and preserve its rights in such Intellectual Property; (iv) not abandon any of such Intellectual Property necessary to the conduct of its business in the exercise of such Debtor’s reasonable business judgment; (v) (A) not sell or assign any of its interest in any of such Intellectual Property other than in the ordinary course of business and in such Debtor’s reasonable business judgment without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, except as otherwise permitted by the Note Purchase Agreement; (B) not grant any license or sublicense with respect to any of such Intellectual Property other than as permitted by clause (vi) below without the prior written consent of the Secured Party; and (C) maintain the quality of any and all products and services with respect to which such Intellectual Property is used; (vi) not enter into any agreement, including, but not limited to any licensing agreement, that is or may be inconsistent with such Debtor’s obligations under this Security Agreement or any of the other Note Documents; (vii) give the 

 

12

12.                               Insurance.  The Debtors shall insure the Collateral or cause the Collateral to be insured in the manner and to the extent provided in the Note Purchase Agreement. If any Debtor fails to obtain and maintain any of the policies of insurance required to be maintained thereunder or to pay any premium in whole or in part, the Secured Party may, without waiving or releasing any obligation of any Debtor, Default or Event of Default, at such Debtor’s expense, but without any obligation to do so, procure such policies or pay such premiums.

 

13.                               Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral. In the Secured Party’s or the Majority Noteholder’s discretion, if the Debtors fail to do so promptly after written request from the Secured Party, the Secured Party may discharge taxes and other Liens and encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral, maintain any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees or insurance premiums or take any action necessary to warrant and defend the right, title and interest of the Secured Party in and to the Collateral. The Debtors agree to reimburse the Secured Party on demand for all expenditures so made. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to the Debtors to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed as the waiver or cure of any Default or Event of Default.

 

14.                               Secured Party’s Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Debtors shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Debtors thereunder. The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Debtors under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Secured Party or to which the Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times. The Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.

 

13

 

15.                               Securities and Deposits. The Secured Party may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, (a) transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Secured Obligations and (b) whether or not any Secured Obligations are due, demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral.  Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Secured Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Secured Party to the Debtors may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Secured Obligations then due and owing.

 

16.                               Notification to Account Debtors and other Persons Obligated on Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtors shall, at the request and option of the Secured Party, notify account debtors and other Persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of the Secured Party in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument, promissory note or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Secured Party or to any financial institution designated by the Secured Party as the Secured Party’s agent therefor, and the Secured Party may itself, without prior notice to the Debtors, so notify account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Debtor irrevocably authorizes and directs each Person who is or shall be a party to or liable for the performance of any contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral, upon receipt of notice from the Secured Party to the effect that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to attorn to or otherwise recognize the Secured Party as owner under such contract and to pay, observe and otherwise perform the obligations under such contract to or for the Secured Party or the Secured Party’s designee as though the Secured Party or such designee were such Debtor named therein, and to do so until otherwise notified by the Secured Party. The Secured Party may also notify any or all institutions with which any deposit accounts or securities accounts are maintained to remit and transfer all monies, securities and other property on deposit in such deposit accounts or securities accounts or deposited or received for deposit thereafter to the Secured Party, for deposit to such accounts as may be designated by the Secured Party and issue any entitlement orders or instructions or directions with respect thereto.  If the Secured Party notifies the Debtors that it has elected to notify account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral in accordance with the foregoing, the Debtors shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Debtors as trustee for the Secured Party without commingling the same with other funds of the Debtors and shall turn the same over to the Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Secured Party to the Secured Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

 

17.                               Power of Attorney.

 

17.1.                     Appointment and Powers of Secured Party. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, effective as of the date hereof, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Debtor or in the Secured Party’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take

 

14

 

any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of such Debtor, without notice to or assent by such Debtor, to do the following:

 

(a)                                 upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at such Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all at least as fully and effectively as such Debtor might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state, local or other agencies or authorities with respect to any Intellectual Property, (ii) upon written notice to such Debtor, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if the Secured Party so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities, and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and

 

(b)                                 to the extent that such Debtor’s authorization given in Section 3 hereof is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without such Debtor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Security Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in such Debtor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require such Debtor’s signature.

 

17.2.                     Ratification by Debtor. To the extent permitted by law, each Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

18.                               No Duty on Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in Section 14 hereof.  The Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Debtors for an act or failure to act, or for any loss or damage sustained by such Debtor, or for any loss, damage, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, except for the Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

15

 

19.                               Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party, without any other notice to or demand upon the Debtors, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Secured Party may, so far as the Debtors can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. The Secured Party may in its discretion require the Debtors to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Debtors’ principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Secured Party may reasonably designate unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. The Secured Party may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any location, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. The Secured Party shall give to the Debtors at least 10 days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. The Debtors hereby acknowledge that 10 days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party 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. In addition, the Debtors waive any and all rights that they may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto. At any sale of the Collateral, the Secured Party may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of any Debtor or any right of redemption, which such Debtor hereby waives to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and the Secured Party may make payment therefor by endorsement and application (without recourse) of the Secured Obligations in lieu of cash as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Collateral.

 

Each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property or any license with respect to any intellectual property, wherever the same may be located throughout the world, for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Secured Party shall determine, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, which license shall only be exercised if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing.

 

20.                               Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Debtors acknowledge and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare

 

16

 

Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated in respect of any Collateral or to fail to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated in respect of any Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Debtors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing 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, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (1) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Debtors acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 20 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Party would fulfill the Secured Party’s duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 20. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 20 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Debtors or to impose any duties on the Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 20. The Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Secured Party may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If the Secured Party sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Secured Obligations will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Secured Party may resell the Collateral.

 

21.                               No Waiver by Secured Party, etc.

 

(a)                                 The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the Secured Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Secured

 

17

 

Party with respect to the Secured Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Secured Party deems expedient and no single or partial exercise of any right hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

(b)                                 If at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Secured Obligations is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Secured Party, Administrative Agent or any Noteholder, this Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

(c)                                  Each Debtor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Secured Party under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Secured Party or the exercise or non-exercise by the Secured Party of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Security Agreement shall, as between the Secured Party, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and Noteholders on the other, be governed by the Note Purchase Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Secured Party and such Debtor, the Secured Party shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Debtor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

 

22.                               Suretyship Waivers by Debtors; Obligations Absolute. Each Debtor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Security Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description, other than any notices expressly required by this Security Agreement or any other Note Documents. With respect to the Secured Obligations, each Debtor (other than Issuer) and with respect to the Collateral, each Debtor, assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or Person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Secured Party may deem advisable. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Debtor agrees that its obligations hereunder, and the security interest granted to and all rights, remedies and powers of the Secured Party hereunder, are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, in each case to the same extent as the Obligations (with respect to Issuer) and the Guaranteed Obligations (with respect to the Debtors other than Issuer) and that all provisions related thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement or Notes with respect to the Obligations (including the waiver of diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice) or the Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (including as set forth in Section 1 of the Guaranty) shall apply to the obligations hereunder and the security interest granted to and all rights, remedies and powers of the Secured Party hereunder.

 

18

 

23.                               Marshalling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them) or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtors hereby agree that they will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of Collateral or otherwise which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtors hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws.

 

24.                               Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses; Indemnity.

 

(a)                                 The Debtors shall reimburse the Secured Party for all of the Secured Party’s expenses incurred in connection with the execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of the Secured Party’s legal counsel, accountants and any other third Persons, and all costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party (including attorney’s fees and disbursements) to: (i) commence, defend or intervene in any court proceeding; (ii) file a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings, or to take any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) relating to this Security Agreement; and (iii) enforce any of the Secured Party’s rights to collect any of the Secured Obligations. The Debtors also agrees to pay, and to save harmless the Secured Party from any delay in paying, any intangibles, documentary stamp and other taxes, if any, which may be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Secured Obligations, the Debtors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

 

(b)                                 The Debtors agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and Noteholders and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates from and against any taxes, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, suits, costs, actions, judgments, claims and damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, and other reasonable expenses incurred or arising by reason of the taking or the failure to take action by the Secured Party, in good faith, in respect of any transaction effected under this Security Agreement or in connection with the lien provided for herein, including, without limitation, any taxes payable in connection with the delivery or registration of any of the Collateral as provided herein, and (b) any liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, suits, costs, actions, judgments, claims and damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees and

 

19

 

disbursements and other reasonable expenses which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Secured Party in any litigation, proceeding or investigation, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing brought under any federal or state securities laws which is threatened, instituted or conducted by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of or any transaction contemplated by or referred to in, or any other matter related to this Security Agreement, whether or not the Secured Party is a party thereto, except to the extent the same shall arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified. The obligations of each Debtor under this Section shall survive the termination of this Security Agreement.

 

25.                               Secured Party Actions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise or non-exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder, and the application of any proceeds of the Collateral or other payments made hereunder by any Debtor, shall in all events be subject to any applicable provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement.

30.                               Miscellaneous. The headings of each section of this Security Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. This Security Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon the Debtors and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Debtor may assign this Security Agreement to any third party.

(b)                                 Any Debtor may sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of its Collateral as expressly permitted by and in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and the Secured Party at the request and sole expense of such Debtor, shall execute and deliver to such Debtor such releases and other documents reasonably necessary to release the Secured Party’s Lien on such Collateral.

Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of the Secured Obligations secured by each Debtor’s grant of a security interest in the portion of the Collateral owned by such Debtor shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Debtor’s grant hereunder subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation Section 548 thereof, or any comparable provision of applicable state law as of the date of such determination.

22

 

Debtor would be liable without rendering such grant subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable state law increases.

Re:                             Stonegate Bank / Pelican Preserve

 

Gentlemen:

 

This letter constitutes the Commitment of Stonegate Bank (“Bank”) to make a $10,000,000.00 credit facility (“Loan”) to the entities described below as the borrower (jointly and severally, the “Borrower”).  The terms and conditions of this Commitment are as follows:

 

1.             BORROWER:  WCI Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Inc”); and WCI Communities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LLC”), jointly and severally.

 

2.             MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF LOAN:  $10,000,000.00.  The Loan shall be comprised of a revolving line of credit for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the Loan Closing (“Revolving Phase”), followed by a twenty-four (24) month term loan (“Term Phase”).  During the Revolving Phase, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow advances under the Loan up to $10,000,000.00 outstanding at any given time provided no default exists under the Loan.  During the Revolving Phase the Borrower shall have the right, provided no default exists under the Loan, to request Bank to issue standby letters of credit for the benefit of Borrower up to the aggregate amount of $5,000,000.00 outstanding at any given time.  The following shall be applicable with respect to the letters of credit:  (i) each letter of credit must be in form and substance satisfactory to Bank; (ii) no letter of credit may have an expiry date beyond the Revolving Phase; (iii) each letter of credit shall reduce the availability under the Loan dollar for dollar; (iv) all letters of credit in the aggregate may not exceed $5,000,000.00 at any given time; (v) Borrower shall pay to Bank an annual fee of 75 basis points of the face amount of each letter of credit and shall pay the Bank’s customary issuance and renewal fees associated with letters of credit; and (vi) any issued letters of credit will not count as amounts outstanding for purposes of calculating the non-use fee.

 

3.             INTEREST RATE:  Interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance shall be payable as follows:  (i) during the Revolving Phase:  a variable rate per annum equal to the Bank’s Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal (or other comparable rate in the event the Wall Street Journal no longer publishes a Prime Rate) (adjusted with each change in such Prime Rate) plus 100 basis points, but with a floor rate per annum of 4%; and (ii) during the Term Phase: a fixed rate per annum equal to the ask yield of the corresponding U.S. Treasury Bond for a term of five (5) years (calculated as of the expiration of the Revolving Phase) plus

 

 

300 basis points, but with a floor fixed rate of 5% per annum.  Interest shall be payable based upon a 360-day year and shall be computed on a daily basis.

 

4.             MATURITY DATE:  The Maturity Date shall be five (5) years from the date of Loan closing.

 

5.             PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS:  Commencing ninety (90) days following the Loan Closing, and continuing on the same day of each successive quarter until the commencement of the Term Phase, Borrower shall make quarterly payments of interest only until the expiration of the Revolving Phase.  Commencing on the 5th day of the month following the commencement of the Term Phase and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make equal monthly payments of principal and interest in an amount necessary to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the expiration of the Revolving Phase over 15 years based upon the fixed rate established at the expiration of the Revolving Phase.  The outstanding principal balance, together with accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable as of the Maturity Date.

 

6.             FEES:  Borrower shall pay a nonrefundable Loan Commitment Fee of $75,000.00 which shall be payable one-half (1/2) upon acceptance of this Commitment and the balance at Closing.  In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall pay to Lender the following:  (i) an annual renewal fee of $75,000.00 per year during the Revolving Phase on the anniversary of the Loan Closing; and (ii) a non-use fee during the Revolving Phase equal to 25 basis points per annum based on the average unfunded portion of the Loan exclusive of the amount in the pledged account (letters of credit shall not be deemed a funded portion of the Loan).

 

7.             USE OF PROCEEDS:  The proceeds of the Loan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

 

8.             SECURITY PROPERTY:  LLC shall grant to Bank a perfected first lien on the following: (i) “Town Center Fees and Charges” (as that term is defined in the Town Center Declaration for Sun City Center Ft. Myers recorded in Official Records Book 3535, Page 4496 of the Public Records of Lee County, Florida, as amended; (ii) the real property and improvements on the Pelican Preserve Town Center including +/- 70,000 square foot improvements on +/- 23.98 acres (“Project”) pursuant to a Mortgage and Security Agreement; (iii) all personal property owned by Borrower at the Project; (iv) all leases, rents, profits, permits and other appurtenances applicable to the Project; (v) pledge of an account to be established and maintained at Bank in the initial amount of $800,000.00 (which amount shall be adjusted annually by Borrower’s determination of Borrower’s projected share of operating deficits for the Project, which shall be subject to Bank’s reasonable consent (the “Deficit Account”); and (vi) all rights of the “Declarant” and “Town Center Owner” under the Declaration (the assignment contemplated by this subparagraph [iv] is a collateral assignment).

 

9.             BANK’S COUNSEL:  The reasonable cost of Bank’s legal counsel shall be charged to, and be paid by, Borrower.  Bank’s legal counsel is Mark K. Somerstein, Esquire, Greenspoon Marder, P.A., 200 East Broward Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.

(f)                                   A default under any agreement Borrower may have with the Bank shall constitute a default under the Loan and a default under the Loan shall constitute a default under any other agreement between Bank and Borrower.
