Rights in Collateral; Priority of Liens Borrower and each other Loan Party own the property granted by it as Collateral under the Collateral Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens in favor of third parties. Upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements, and the taking of the other actions required by Lender, the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents will constitute valid and enforceable first, prior and perfected (to the extent that Liens on the Collateral can be perfected by the filing of UCC financing statements) Liens on the Collateral in favor of Lender.
After-Acquired Collateral From and after the Issue Date, and subject to the applicable limitations and exceptions set forth in the Security Documents and this Indenture (including with respect to Excluded Assets), if the Company or any Guarantor creates any additional security interest upon any property or asset that would constitute Collateral to secure any First Lien Obligations, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall concurrently grant a first-priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) upon any such Collateral, as security for the Secured Notes Obligations.
Perfected First Priority Liens (a) This Agreement is effective to create, as collateral security for the Obligations of such Grantor, valid and enforceable Liens on such Grantor’s Security Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, except as to enforcement, as may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights’ generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
Cap Collateral Reserved.
TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased by Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Silicon now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times defend Silicon and the Collateral against all claims of others. None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Borrower is not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower's right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest (whether as owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien or otherwise), Borrower shall, whenever requested by Silicon, use its best efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to Silicon, in form acceptable to Silicon, such waivers and subordinations as Silicon shall specify, so as to ensure that Silicon's rights in the Collateral are, and will continue to be, superior to the rights of any such third party. Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all the terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.
Pledge of Collateral Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Effective Date, or, to the extent not certificated as of the Effective Date, within ten (10) days of the certification of any Shares, the certificate or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to Collateral Agent, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Collateral Agent may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Collateral Agent and cause new (as applicable) certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Collateral Agent or its transferee. Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Collateral Agent may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
Management of Collateral Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Priority Secured Creditor shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce the terms of the applicable Obligation Documents with respect to its Priority Collateral, to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder according to its sole discretion and the exercise of its sole business judgment, including the exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of such Priority Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale, process, Dispose of, or liquidate such Priority Collateral and to incur expenses in connection with such Disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction. In conducting any public or private sale under the UCC of its Priority Collateral, the Priority Secured Creditor shall give the Junior Secured Creditor such notice (a “UCC Notice”) of such sale as may be required by the applicable UCC; provided, however, that 10 days’ notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice. Except as specifically provided in this Section 3.2 or Section 3.4 below, notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to a Junior Secured Creditor under any of the applicable Obligation Documents, applicable law or otherwise, no Junior Secured Creditor shall, directly or indirectly, take any Enforcement Action with respect to Collateral that, as to such Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral; provided that, subject at all times to the provisions of Section 2, upon the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period, a Junior Secured Creditor (other than any Existing Notes Creditor) may take any Enforcement Action as to such Collateral (provided that it gives the Priority Secured Creditor at least 10 Business Days written notice prior to taking such Enforcement Action); provided, further, that notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period or anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Junior Secured Creditor take any Enforcement Action or exercise or continue to exercise any such rights or remedies, or commence or petition for any such action or proceeding (including any foreclosure action or proceeding or any Insolvency Proceeding) as to its Non-Priority Collateral if either (i) an Insolvency Proceeding occurs and is continuing or (ii) the Priority Secured Creditor shall have commenced the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to more than a de minimis portion of such Non-Priority Collateral, or with respect to any of such Non-Priority Collateral as to which the Junior Secured Creditor has commenced an Enforcement Action, as applicable, or commenced any such action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any of the following (if undertaken and pursued to consummate a Disposition of such Collateral within a commercially reasonable time): the solicitation of bids from third parties to conduct the liquidation of all or any material portion of such Collateral, the engagement or retention of sales brokers, marketing agents, investment bankers, accountants, auctioneers or other third parties for the purpose of valuing, marketing, promoting or selling all or any material portion of such Collateral, the notification of account debtors to make payments to the Priority Secured Creditor or its agents, the initiation of any action to take possession of all or any material portion of such Collateral or the commencement of any legal proceedings or actions against or with respect to the foreclosure and sale of all or any material portion of such Collateral), or the diligent attempt in good faith to vacate any stay prohibiting an Enforcement Action with respect to all or any material portion of such Collateral or diligently attempting in good faith to vacate any stay prohibiting an Enforcement Action.
Lien Priority Any Lien created hereunder or by any other Loan Document shall at any time fail to constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any of the Collateral purported to be secured thereby, subject to no prior or equal Lien, other than Permitted Liens which are permitted to have priority in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
