SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED

U.S. GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED U.S. GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of March 31, 2015 (this “Guaranty”) made by United Rentals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), United Rentals (North America), Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Persons listed on the signature pages hereof under the caption “Guarantors” and the Additional Guarantors (as defined in Section 8(b)) (Holdings, the Company and such Persons so listed and the Additional Guarantors being, collectively, the “Guarantors” and, individually, each a “Guarantor”) in favor of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

 

WHEREAS, Holdings and the Company are party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 14, 2011 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) with the U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers named therein (together with the Company, the “U.S. Borrowers”), United Rentals of Canada, Inc., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the “Canadian Borrower”), United Rentals Financing Limited Partnership, a Delaware partnership (the “Specified Loan Borrower”), the other guarantors party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as the Agent;

 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Existing Credit Agreement is being amended and restated, without constituting a novation, pursuant to a second amended and restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2015 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, including any such amendment, restatement, extension, supplement or other modification that extends the maturity of, restructures, refunds, refinances or increases the Indebtedness under such agreement, in whole or in part, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used herein as therein defined), among the U.S. Borrowers, the Canadian Borrower, the Specified Loan Borrower, the other guarantors party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as the Agent;

 

WHEREAS, each Guarantor may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the proceeds of the Loans under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, each Guarantor (and certain other guarantors party thereto) entered into a U.S. Guarantee Agreement (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), dated as of October 14, 2011 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Guaranty”);

 

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement by the entering into of the Credit Agreement, the maintenance and making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Lenders thereunder, and the provision of certain Bank Products by the Lenders or their Affiliates from time to time that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty;

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement by the entering into of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders to maintain and make Loans and to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and the Lenders and their Affiliates to provide Bank Products from time to time, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby agrees that the Existing Guaranty shall be amended and restated as follows:

 

Section 1.                                           Guaranty; Limitation of Liability.  (a)  Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any earlier date of a required prepayment by reason of acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Obligor, whether now or hereafter existing (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent or any other Secured Party (to the extent provided for in the Credit Agreement) in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Obligor to any Secured Party but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Obligor.  For the avoidance of doubt, Guaranteed Obligations shall not include Excluded Swap Obligations.

 

(b)                                 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor (other than Holdings and the Company) under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.  For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 10.1(e), (f), (g) or (h) of the Credit Agreement or Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

 

(c)                                  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty or any Canadian Guarantee Agreement or any other Guaranty of the Obligations, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

Section 2.                                           Guaranty Absolute.  Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid in accordance with the terms thereof, to the maximum extent permitted

 

2

 

by law.  The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Obligor, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Borrower or any other Obligor or whether any Borrower or any other Obligor is joined in any such action or actions.  The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

 

(a)                                 any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or relating to any other Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(b)                                 any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Obligor under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or relating to any other Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or relating to any other Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

 

(c)                                  any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(d)                                 any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Obligor or any other assets of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

(e)                                  any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

(f)                                   any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Obligor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Obligor now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

 

(g)                                  the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement, or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

 

(h)                                 any assignment for the benefit of any Secured Party or any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of any Guarantor;

 

3

 

(i)                                     any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense (other than a defense of Full Payment) available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor or any other guarantor or surety.

 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

Section 3.                                           Waivers and Acknowledgments.  (a)  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Obligor or any other Person or any Collateral.

 

(b)                                 Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty until Full Payment and each Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

 

(c)                                  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Obligors, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under the U.S. Security Agreement pursuant to Section 21 thereof by nonjudicial sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

 

(e)                                  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

 

(f)                                   Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that

 

4

 

the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

 

Section 4.                                           Subrogation.  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Guarantor (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or any other agreement relating to any Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Guarantor (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Guarantor (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until Full Payment has occurred.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the date on which Full Payment has occurred, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or any other agreement relating to any Guaranteed Obligations, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising.  If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (ii) Full Payment shall occur, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

 

Section 5.                                           Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.  Any and all payments made by any Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall be made in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 6.                                           Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 6 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment has occurred.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 6 constitute, and this Section 6 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other

 

5

 

Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 6, “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

 

Section 7.                                           Representations and Warranties.  Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:

 

(a)                                 There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty that have not been satisfied or waived.

 

(b)                                 Such Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon any Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which it is or is to be a party, and such Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from each other Obligor on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of such other Obligor.

 

Section 8.                                           Amendments, Guaranty Supplements, Etc.  (a)  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

(b)                                 Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “U.S. Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (ii) each reference herein to “this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “U.S. Guarantee Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

 

Section 9.                                           Notices, Etc.  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing, or by a telecommunications device capable of creating a written record, and any such notice shall become effective (a) upon personal delivery thereof, including, but not limited to, delivery by overnight mail and courier service, (b) four (4) days after it shall have been mailed by United States and/or Canada Post mail, first class, certified or registered, with postage prepaid, or (c) in the case of notice by such a telecommunications device, when properly transmitted, if to any Guarantor, addressed to it in care of the Borrowers’ Agent at the Borrowers’ Agent’s address specified in Section 14.8 of the Credit Agreement, if to any Agent or

 

6

 

any Lender, at its address specified in Section 14.8 of the Credit Agreement, if to any Lender or any of its Affiliates providing Bank Products, at its address specified in the applicable agreement in respect thereof to which it is a party, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party.  Delivery by telecopier or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty or of any Guaranty Supplement to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

 

Section 10.                                    No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

Section 11.                                    Right of Set-off.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees to all terms and conditions set forth in Section 14.15 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 12.                                    Indemnification.  (a)  Without limitation on any other Obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of the Secured Parties under this Guaranty or the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of any Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with their terms.

 

(b)                                 Each Guarantor hereby also agrees that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any of the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, and each Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or any of the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, that the Guarantors shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

 

(c)                                  Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other agreements of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of each Guarantor contained in Section 1(a) (with respect to enforcement expenses), the last sentence of Section 2, Section 5 and this Section 12 shall survive Full Payment and all of the other amounts payable under this Guaranty.

 

Section 13.                                    Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Obligor (the

 

7

 

“Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 13:

 

(a)                                 Prohibited Payments, Etc.  Except during the continuance of an Event Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Obligor), each Guarantor may receive payments from any other Obligor on account of the Subordinated Obligations.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Obligor), however, upon written request from the Agent, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

 

(b)                                 Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations.  In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Obligor, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive Full Payment (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

 

(c)                                  Turn-Over.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Obligor), each Guarantor shall, if the Agent so requests in writing, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

 

(d)                                 Agent Authorization.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Obligor), the Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

 

Section 14.                                    Continuing Guaranty; Assignments under the Credit Agreement.  Subject to Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until Full Payment has occurred, (b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns.  Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other

Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 12.2 (or, in the case of the Agent, Article XIII) of the Credit Agreement.  No Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein  (except pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Agent. At the relevant Guarantor’s request, any release of a Guarantor in accordance with the Credit Agreement shall be acknowledged and evidenced in writing by the Agent.

 

Section 15.                                    Execution in Counterparts.  This Guaranty and each amendment, waiver and consent with respect hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty by telecopier or other electronic communication shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty.

 

Section 16.                                    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc.  (a)  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(b)                                 ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY, EACH OF THE GUARANTORS AND THE AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.  EACH OF THE GUARANTORS AND THE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING:  (x) THE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR OR ANY PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS AND (y) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.

 

(c)                                  SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL APPLY TO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.  EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL (RETURN RECEIPT

REQUESTED) DIRECTED TO THE BORROWERS’ AGENT AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 14.8 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO DEPOSITED IN THE U.S. MAILS POSTAGE PREPAID.  NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS BY ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

THE GUARANTORS AND THE AGENT EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE.  THE GUARANTORS AND THE AGENT EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF.  THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

Section 17.                                    Amendment and Restatement.  On the date hereof, the Existing Guaranty is hereby amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Guaranty.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) or the “Guaranteed Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Guaranty) under the Existing Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) such “Obligations” and “Guaranteed Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated on the date hereof by this Guaranty and by the Credit Agreement) and (iii) the agreements set forth under the Existing Guaranty and the other Loan Documents are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and are hereby fully ratified and affirmed in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as amended and restated on the date hereof).

To:  Bank of America, N.A., as Agent

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to (i) Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2015 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, including any such amendment, restatement, extension, supplement or other modification that extends the maturity of, restructures, refunds, refinances or increases the Indebtedness under such agreement, in whole or in part, the “Credit Agreement”), among United Rentals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), United Rentals (North America), Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers named therein (together with the Company, the “U.S. Borrowers”), United Rentals of Canada, Inc., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the “Canadian Borrower”), United Rentals Financing Limited Partnership, a Delaware Partnership (the “Specified Loan Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Agent and (ii) the U.S. Guarantee Agreement referred to in the Credit Agreement (such U.S. Guarantee Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof and as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with this Guaranty Supplement, being the “Guaranty”).  The capitalized terms defined in the Guaranty or in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined.

 

Section 1.  Guaranty; Limitation of Liability.  (a)  The undersigned hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any earlier date of a required prepayment by reason of acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Guaranteed Obligations, and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent or any other Secured Party (to the extent provided for in the Credit Agreement) in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty or any other Loan Document.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Obligor to any Secured Party but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Obligor.

 

(b)  The undersigned, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty Supplement, the Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any

 

 

similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent, the other Secured Parties and the undersigned hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

 

(c)  The undersigned hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty, the Canadian Guarantee Agreement or any other Guaranty of the Obligations, the undersigned will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid in respect of the Obligations.

 

Section 2.  Obligations Under the Guaranty.  The undersigned hereby agrees, as of the date first above written, to be bound as a Guarantor by all of the terms and conditions of the Guaranty to the same extent as each of the other Guarantors thereunder.  The undersigned further agrees, as of the date first above written, that each reference in the Guaranty to an “Additional Guarantor” or a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned.

 

Section 3.  Representations and Warranties.  The undersigned hereby makes each representation and warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Guaranty to the same extent as each other Guarantor.

 

Section 4.  Delivery by Telecopier.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty Supplement by telecopier or other electronic communication shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty Supplement.

 

Section 5.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc.  (a)  THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT, THE UNDERSIGNED CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.

 

(B)  THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT OR ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT, THE GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS OR IS TO BE A PARTY, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT,

 

2

 

AND THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  THE UNDERSIGNED 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 SUPPLEMENT OR THE GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT, THE GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS OR IS TO BE A PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

(C)  THE UNDERSIGNED IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT, THE GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS OR IS TO BE A PARTY IN ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.  THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.  THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.

 

(d)  THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, THE ADVANCES OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY SECURED PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.  THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF.

4

 

provided that the foregoing exclusion shall not be construed to apply to the extent any such term is ineffective or unenforceable under the UCC (including Sections 9 406, 9 407, 9 408 or 9 409), the comparable provisions of the PPSA, or any other requirement of applicable law so that no breach, default, abandonment, invalidity or unenforceability would occur.

 

(ii)           any asset to the extent the granting of a security interest therein to the Agent is prohibited by applicable law or would require the consent, approval, license or authorization of any Governmental Authority or, except with respect to any Rental Equipment, Merchandise and Consumables Inventory, any proceeds of any of the foregoing, any Material Accounts into which any such proceeds are deposited, or any books or records related to any of the foregoing, other third party (except a Grantor or any Subsidiary or other controlled Affiliate of a Grantor) that has not been obtained or waived; provided that the foregoing exclusion shall not be construed to apply to the extent any such prohibition or requirement for consent, approval, license or authorization is ineffective or unenforceable under the UCC (including Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409), comparable provisions of the PPSA, or any other applicable law;

 

(iii)          any property that is subject to a Lien securing purchase money obligations, Capital Lease Obligations or sale/leaseback Indebtedness permitted under the Credit Agreement pursuant to documents that prohibit such Grantor from granting any other Liens in such property, and such prohibition has not been or is not waived or the consent of the other party to such contract has not been or is not otherwise obtained or under Requirements of Law such prohibition cannot be waived, and only for so long as such Indebtedness remains outstanding;

 

(iv)          (i) except for rental fleet equipment required to be excluded from any Equipment Securitization Transaction pursuant to Section 7.20(b) of the Credit Agreement, any assets subject to a Securitization Transaction; or (ii) Accounts, Leases, contractual rights or any other assets subject to any Like-Kind Exchange;

Subject to any limitations set forth herein, all of the Obligations of each Grantor shall be secured by all of the Collateral of such Grantor and any other property of such Grantor that secures any such Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, all parties hereto agree that at no time shall any U.S. Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of a U.S. Obligor (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) be secured by any of the Collateral of the Canadian Borrower or UR Financing Partnership or any other property of the Canadian Borrower or UR Financing Partnership.

Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have filed in any UCC, PPSA, CCQ or other applicable filing office any like financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

 

(e)           Until Full Payment of the Obligations, the Agent’s Liens shall continue in full force and effect in all the Collateral (whether or not deemed eligible for the purpose of calculating the Availability or as the basis for any advance, loan, extension of credit, or other financial accommodation), provided that, the Agent agrees to release its Lien in any Collateral that is sold or disposed of by a Grantor as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to release (if any) set forth in the Credit Agreement, including the continuance of the Agent’s Lien in any proceeds of such released Collateral.

(h)                                 Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement or financing change statement with respect to any financing statement filed by the Agent without the prior written consent of the Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of the Agent.

 

(i)                                     With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security, such Grantor shall, to the extent the issuer thereof is a controlled Affiliate of the Grantor, or otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to, cause the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement without further consent of such Grantor.

SECTION 12.                     Right to Cure.

All payments that the Agent makes in accordance with this Section 12 and all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall be charged as a Canadian Revolving Loan, and the Agent agrees to notify the Canadian Borrower thereof; provided that neither the Agent’s right to make any such payments and charge the same as a Canadian Revolving Loan, nor the Canadian Borrower’s obligation to repay any such Canadian Revolving Loan, shall be conditioned in any way upon the Agent’s providing such notification.

Each Grantor ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney.  This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Credit Agreement has been terminated and Full Payment of the Obligations has occurred.

 

SECTION 14.                     The Agent’s and the Other Secured Parties’ Rights, Duties and Liabilities.

 

(a)                                 As between the Grantors and the Secured Parties, each Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral.  None of the Obligations shall be affected by any failure of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to take any steps to perfect the Agent’s Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of the Obligations.  Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to (except as required under the Credit Agreement or under any applicable law) or consent from any Grantor, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of Grantors for the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter existing between any of the Secured Parties and any Grantor.

 

(b)                                 It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall remain liable under each Lease and each of its other contracts, agreements and licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder.  Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have any obligation or liability under any Lease, contract, agreement or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties of any payment relating to any Lease, contract, agreement or license pursuant hereto.  Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Lease, contract, agreement or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Lease, contract, agreement or license, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 

(c)                                  With respect to Accounts and Leases, in each case not subject to any Securitization Transaction or Like-Kind Exchange, the Agent may, at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or if any rights of set-off (other than set-offs

 

11

 

against an Account arising under the contract giving rise to the same Account) or contra accounts may be asserted with respect to the following), without prior notice to any Grantor, notify Account Debtors, parties to Leases and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that the Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Upon the request of the Agent, each Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on such Collateral.  Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on such Collateral and while any Event of Default exists and is continuing, no Grantor shall give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without the Agent’s prior written consent.

 

(d)                                 With respect to Accounts, and Leases, in each case not subject to any Securitization Transaction or Like-Kind Exchange, in connection with any audit, inspection or appraisal under, and subject to the terms of, Section 7.9 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent may at any time in the Agent’s own name, or in the name of any Grantor, following consultation with and notice to the Grantors, or without such notice and consultation during the continuance of an Event of Default, communicate with Account Debtors, parties to Leases, contracts, agreements or licenses to which such Grantor is a party, and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to the Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of Accounts, Leases, contracts and agreements, payment intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper.  Grantors shall deliver to the Agent, at their own expense, the results of each physical verification, if any, which any Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of the Inventory.

 

SECTION 15.                     Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

 

(a)                                 Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Secured Parties that (i) as of the Agreement Date, such Grantor does not have any interest in, or title to, any material issued or applied-for patents, registered or applied-for trademarks or registered or applied-for copyrights except as set forth in Schedule II hereto and, (ii) this Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements referred to in Section 3(f) of this Agreement, the recording of the Trademark Agreement and the Patent Agreement with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and subsequent filings for any hereafter acquired, issued or applied-for patents, registered or applied-for trademarks or issued or applied-for copyrights, are effective to create valid, perfected, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) and continuing Liens in favour of the Agent on such material patents, trademarks and copyrights.

 

(b)                                 Each Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly if it knows that any application or registration relating to any material patent, trademark or copyright (now or hereafter existing) owned or licensed by such Grantor will become abandoned or dedicated, or of any material and adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any material patent, trademark or copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

 

(c)                                  If, before Full Payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Lenders’ commitments to lend under the Credit Agreement, any Grantor shall obtain ownership of any additional issued or applied-for patent, registered or applied-for trademark or issued or

 

12

 

applied-for copyright (except to the extent any application for a trademark is excluded from the definition of “Collateral” under subclause (c) of Section 2 of this Agreement), with respect to goods sold in such Grantor’s business, the Agent shall have a Lien in, and the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply to, such issued or applied-for patent, registered or applied-for trademark or issued or applied-for copyright, and also to any composite marks or other marks of such Grantor which are confusingly similar to such mark, and such Grantor shall give to the Agent prompt written notice of such ownership within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar year or more frequently upon the request of the Agent, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in which such Grantor obtains ownership of such patent, trademark, or copyright.  This Section 15(c) shall not apply to trademarks which are owned by others and licensed to any Grantor.

 

(d)                                 Each Grantor authorizes the Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule II to include any additional issued or applied-for patents, registered or applied-for copyrights or registered or applied-for trademarks owned by such Grantor and not included in Schedule II, and to have this Agreement, as amended, or any other document evidencing the security interest granted therein, recorded in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office at the expense of such Grantor.  The Agent shall provide notice to the Grantors of any amendment or modification to be effected pursuant to this Section.

 

(e)                                  Upon written request of the Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all security agreements and other notices of the Agent’s Liens as the Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Agent’s Lien on such patent, trademark or copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

 

(f)                                   Each Grantor shall take all actions reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the patents, trademarks and copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings, unless such Grantor shall determine that such patent, trademark or copyright is not material to the conduct of its business.

 

(g)                                  In the event that any Grantor has knowledge that any of the material patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly after such Grantor learns thereof.  Each Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is not material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly take commercially reasonable actions including such actions as the Agent shall reasonably request under the circumstances to protect such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral.

 

SECTION 16.                     Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc..

 

(a)                                 So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor (i) shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right

 

13

 

if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral or any part thereof and (ii) shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents; provided that such Grantor shall deliver and pledge to the Agent any such dividends or distributions payable in the form of stock to the extent required hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of each Grantor (i) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 16(a) shall, upon written notice to such Grantor by the Agent, cease and (ii) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 16(a) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions

 

SECTION 17.                     Indemnification.  In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto or to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to save, indemnify and keep the Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favour of, such obligor or its successors from any Grantor, except in the case of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or such other Secured Party.  All such obligations of Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and only against Grantors and shall not be enforceable against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties.

 

SECTION 18.                     Limitation on Liens on Collateral.  No Grantor will create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Permitted Liens, and will defend the right, title and interest of the Agent and the other Secured Parties in and to any of such Grantor’s rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands (other than Permitted Liens) of all Persons whomsoever.

 

SECTION 19.                     Extensions. The Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of security interests in, or obtaining a delivery of documents or other deliverables with respect to, particular assets of any Grantor where it determines that (x) such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or any other Security Documents or (y) such an extension is otherwise appropriate.

 

14

 

SECTION 20.                     Remedies; Rights Upon Default.

 

(a)                                 In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations or pursuant to any other applicable law, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA, UCC, CCQ and other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the PPSA, UCC and CCQ and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Agent’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Agent or the other Secured Parties receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice to any Grantor. The Agent or any of the other Secured Parties shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases.  Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice.  The Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on premises of any Grantor or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as the Agent deems necessary or advisable.

 

(b)                                 Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent’s request following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place or places designated by the Agent which are reasonably convenient to the Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.  Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use the Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent.  The Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with respect to the Collateral while the Collateral is in the possession of the Agent or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. In the event the Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by the judicial process, each Grantor irrevocably waives (i) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral and (ii) any requirement that the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment.  The Agent may, if it so elects, and, in addition to any other rights it may have, appoint by instrument in writing a receiver or receiver and manager (both of which are herein

 

15

 

called a “Receiver”) of all or any part of the Collateral or may institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such a Receiver.  Any such Receiver is hereby given and shall have the same powers and rights and exclusions and limitations of liability as the Secured Parties and the Agent have under this Security Agreement, at law or in equity.  In exercising any such powers, any such Receiver shall, to the extent permitted by law, act as and for all purposes shall be deemed to be the agent of the Grantor, and the Secured Parties and the Agent shall not be responsible for any act or default of any such Receiver.  The Agent may appoint one or more Receivers hereunder and may remove any such Receiver or Receivers and appoint another or others in his or their stead from time to time. Any Receiver so appointed may be an officer or employee of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties.  A court need not appoint, ratify the appointment by the Agent of or otherwise supervise in any manner the actions of any Receiver.  Upon the Grantor receiving notice from the Agent of the taking of possession of the Collateral or the appointment of a Receiver, all powers, functions, rights and privileges of each of the directors and officers of the Grantor with respect to the Collateral shall cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Agent.  The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations first to all expenses of collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, including reasonable attorney’s fees, and then as provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the applicable Grantor.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Unless a greater period of time is required by applicable law, each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by the Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters.  Each Grantor shall remain liable, jointly and severally with the other Grantors, for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees or other expenses (to the extent provided for herein or in the Credit Agreement) incurred by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.

 

(c)                                  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

 

(d)                                 To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare the Collateral for disposition or otherwise 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 the 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 the Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on the Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against the Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against

 

16

 

Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on the Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of the 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 any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of the Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity 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, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of the Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of the Collateral, (l) to dispose of Leases, Inventory and related Collateral in one or more portfolio sales or in individual sale transactions, or (m) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 19(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 19(d).  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 19(d) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 19(d).

 

SECTION 21.                     Grant of License to Use Proprietary Rights.  Solely for the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 19 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 19 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral), effective solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and exercisable at such time as the Agent shall be otherwise lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Proprietary Rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

 

SECTION 22.                     Limitation on the Agent’s and the Other Secured Parties’ Duty in Respect of Collateral.  The Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.  Except as required by applicable law, neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of the Agent or nominee of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

 

17

 

SECTION 23.                     Miscellaneous. Reinstatement.

 

(a)                                 This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

(b)                                 Notices.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a 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.  This Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of the Agent, the other Secured Parties and Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein provided that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall govern.

 

(d)                                 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Amendments and Additional Grantors.

 

(i)                                     Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth.  A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion.  No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

 

18

 

(ii)                                  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Agent and Grantors.  Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.

 

(e)                                  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, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 

(f)                                   Termination of this Agreement; Releases.

 

(i)                                     Subject to Section 22(a) hereof, this Agreement shall terminate upon Full Payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Lenders’ commitments to lend under the Credit Agreement.

 

(ii)                                  The Agent shall release, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to release (if any) set forth in the Credit Agreement, including the continuance of the applicable Agent’s Lien in any proceeds of released Collateral, any such Agent’s Liens upon any applicable Collateral pursuant to the terms of Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(iii)                               Upon any Collateral being or becoming an Excluded Asset, the Lien created hereby on such Collateral shall automatically terminate and be released without further actions by any Person.  In connection therewith, the Agent, at the request and sole expense of the applicable Grantor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence such termination and release in accordance with Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(g)                                  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of such Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall, together with the rights, remedies and obligations of the Agent, hereunder, inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Secured Parties, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns.  No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder.  Except as expressly

 

19

 

permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, no Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Agreement.

 

(h)                                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement.  This Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or by electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

 

(i)                                     Governing Law.  This General Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario.

 

ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO OR OF THE FEDERAL COURTS OF CANADA THEREIN, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND THE AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND THE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH GRANTOR WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF ONTARIO.

 

The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim, whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity with respect to, in connection with, or arising out of this General Security Agreement, other financing agreements, the obligations of the Borrowers and the Corporation, the Collateral, or any instrument, document or guarantee delivered pursuant hereto or to any of the foregoing, or the validity, protection, interpretation, administration, collection or enforcement hereof or thereof, or any other claim or dispute hereunder or thereunder. The Corporation agrees that it will not assert against the Lender any claim for consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages in connection with this General Security Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  No officer of the Lender has authority to waive, condition, or modify this provision.

 

(j)                                    Judgment Currency:  If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Lender could purchase in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. The Corporation agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder

 

20

 

shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Lender receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, the Corporation agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Lender against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 8.16 means the spot rate at which the Lender, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

 

(k)                                 Section Titles.  The Section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

 

(l)                                     No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

(m)                             Advice of Counsel.  Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 22(i) and Section 22(j), with its counsel.

 

(n)                                 Benefit of the Secured Parties.  All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and all proceeds or payments realized from the Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Obligations (or the Guaranteed Obligations, as applicable) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 24.                     Amendment and Restatement

 

On the date hereof, the Existing Security Agreement is hereby amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined under the Existing Credit Agreement) or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated on the date hereof); and (iii) the security interests, Lien and pledge granted under the Existing Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and are hereby fully ratified and affirmed in favour of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Grantors hereby fully and unconditionally ratifies and affirms this Agreement and agrees that all security interests, Liens and pledges granted hereunder

 

21

 

and under the Existing Security Agreement shall from and after the date hereof secure all Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
