(c) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party, subject to the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 10.16 of the Credit Agreement.

Pledge and Security Agreement

(d) At its option after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not constituting a Permitted Lien, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Credit Party fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Credit Party jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.03(d) shall be interpreted as excusing any Credit Party from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Credit Party with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Credit Documents.

In the event that any Credit Party at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required under the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Credit Parties hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance (including by paying premiums with respect thereto) and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 3.03(f), including attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Credit Parties to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

Section 3.04 Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Credit Party agrees, in each case at such Credit Party’s own expense, to take the following actions:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper.

(b) Investment Property. Except with respect to any Excluded Equity Interest and Excluded Instrument, if any Credit Party shall at any time hold or acquire any Certificated Security constituting Pledged Collateral or Article 9 Collateral, such Credit Party shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably specify and in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Equity Interests are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Credit Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Equity Interests, cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge and give the Collateral Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Equity Interests under the terms hereof, and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon request by the Collateral Agent, (A) cause the Organizational Documents of each such issuer that is a subsidiary of such Credit Party to be amended to provide that such Pledged Equity Interests shall be treated as “securities” for purposes of the UCC and (B) cause such Pledged Equity Interests to become certificated and delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

Pledge and Security Agreement

(c) Commercial Tort Claims.

(d) Letter of Credit Rights. With respect to any Letter of Credit Rights of any Credit Party relating to any Letter of Credit with a face amount in excess of $5,000,000, such Credit Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary to provide the Collateral Agent a first priority perfected security interest in any such Letter of Credit Rights.

(e) Deposit Accounts. Each Credit Party shall establish the Collateral Agent’s Control (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC), subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any such Deposit Account, substantially simultaneously with the delivery of a control agreement with respect to such Deposit Account in favor of the ABL Agent (which for the avoidance of doubt may be a control agreement establishing control in favor of the ABL Agent as agent or bailee for the Collateral Agent or establishing control in favor of the Collateral Agent on a basis junior in priority to the ABL Agent, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement).

Section 3.05 Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

(b) Each Credit Party will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to contractually require its licensees and its sublicensees (provided that no Credit Party shall be obligated to amend any agreement existing as of the date hereof to so require) to, for each material registered Trademark necessary to the normal conduct of such Credit Party’s business, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of federal registration or claim of trademark or service xxxx as required under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use, or knowingly permit its licensees’ use of, such Trademark in violation of any third party rights, except, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, to the extent such action or inaction is deemed advisable in such Credit Party’s reasonable business judgment.

Pledge and Security Agreement

(c) Each Credit Party will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its licensees and its sublicensees (provided that no Credit Party shall be obligated to amend any agreement existing as of the date hereof to so cause) to, for each material Copyright necessary to the normal conduct of such Credit Party’s business that it publishes, displays and distributes, use a copyright notice as necessary to establish and preserve its rights under applicable copyright laws.

(d) Each Credit Party shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent if it has received written notice, other than regular reports with respect to Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights received in the ordinary course of business, that any issued Patent, registered Trademark or registered Copyright material to the normal conduct of such Credit Party’s business may imminently become abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, in the case of such Patent or Copyright, prior to the end of its statutory term under applicable law, or of any materially adverse determination or development, excluding office actions and similar determinations or developments in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, any court or any similar office of any country, regarding such Credit Party’s ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right to register or to maintain the same.

(f) Each Credit Party shall exercise its reasonable business judgment in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office with respect to (i) maintaining and pursuing each application relating to any Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the relevant grant or registration) material to the normal conduct of the such Credit Party’s business, and (ii) maintaining any registration or issuance of each Patent, Trademark, and Copyright that is material to the normal conduct of such Credit Party’s business, including, when applicable and necessary in such Credit Party’s reasonable business judgment, timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if any Credit Party believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

(g) In the event that any Credit Party receives written notice that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark, Copyright or Trade Secret material to the normal conduct of its business has been materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Credit Party shall, if such Credit Party deems it necessary in its reasonable business judgment, promptly take actions to stop such infringement, misappropriation or dilution and protect its rights in such Patent, Trademark, Copyright, or Trade Secret, including, but not limited to, the initiation of a suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages, in each case, to the extent it deems reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

Section 3.06 Intercreditor Relations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the understanding of the parties that the Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement shall (a) with respect to all Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, be subject and subordinate to the Liens granted to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties to secure the ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Collateral Agreement, to the extent set forth in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and (b) with respect to all Collateral, prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement), be junior and subordinate in priority to the Liens granted to any Senior Priority Agent (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement) for the benefit of the holders of the applicable Senior Priority Debt (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement) to secure such Senior Priority Debt pursuant to the applicable Senior Priority Documents (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement) (except as may be separately otherwise agreed between the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties, and any Senior Priority Agent (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement), on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement) represented thereby). The Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees that the relative priority of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the ABL Agent and the Cash Flow Agent shall be determined solely pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreements, and not by priority as a matter of law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreements. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control as among (i) the Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent, in the case of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the Collateral Agent, any Senior Priority Agent (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement) and any other Junior Priority Agent in the case of the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any such conflict, each Credit Party may act (or omit to act) in accordance with the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and shall not be in breach, violation or default of its obligations hereunder by reason of doing so. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, (x) prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, any obligation hereunder to deliver to the Collateral Agent any Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral shall be satisfied by causing such ABL Priority Collateral to be delivered to the ABL Agent to be held in accordance with the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and (y) until the Discharge of the Senior Priority Obligations (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement), any obligation hereunder to deliver to the Collateral Agent any Collateral (other than Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral) shall be satisfied by causing such Collateral to be delivered to the Senior Priority Representative (as defined in the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement).

REMEDIES

Section 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Subject to the terms of the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Credit Party agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times, subject, in each case, to the terms of the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property owned by such Credit Party for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 4.01 at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Credit Party hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, an irrevocable (but solely during the continuance of an Event of Default), non-exclusive world-wide (to the extent it has such rights) license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Credit Party), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to any quality standards and quality control practices in effect by each applicable Credit Party, with respect to its Trademarks and sufficient to avoid the risk of invalidation or dilution of such Trademarks, to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created by such Credit Party, wherever the same may be located; provided, that such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable licenses; provided further that the Collateral Agent shall retain the confidentiality of any Trade Secrets licensed under this Section 4.01 consistent with the practices in effect by each applicable Credit Party, with respect to its confidential information, immediately prior to such Event of Default; (b) to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass to the applicable Credit Party to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of, removing or selling the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies during the continuance of an Event of Default, an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Credit Party) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Credit Party; (c) notify Account Debtors of any Credit Party that the Accounts of such Credit Party have been assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or that Collateral Agent has a security interest therein and direct Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; and (d) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Credit Documents, or otherwise available to the Collateral Agent, all other rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing rights and remedies, each Credit Party agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code), to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.01, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Credit Party, and each Credit Party hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that such Credit Party now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

Pledge and Security Agreement

The Collateral Agent shall give the Borrower and each applicable Credit Party not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice (which each Credit Party agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale. The Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold at any such sale may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors, upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Credit Party and the Collateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory to be sold with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor), all as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 4.01, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Credit Party (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Credit Party as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof without further accountability to any Credit Party therefor. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Section 4.02 Application of Proceeds.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, in the following order of priority, subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement: first, to, ratably, pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agents, including all amounts due to the Agents under Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, second, ratably in accordance with the amounts owed under this clause second, to pay any fees other than the Exit Fee or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower, third, ratably, to pay interest and the Exit Fee due and payable in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations, fourth, ratably, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, fifth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Agents or any other Secured Party; and sixth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses first through fifth, subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreements or any other Collateral Document, to pay the surplus, if any to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

Pledge and Security Agreement

(b) If any payment to any Secured Party pursuant to this Section 4.02 of its pro rata share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Obligations of the other Secured Parties, with each Secured Party whose Obligations have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Obligations of such Secured Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid Obligations of all Secured Parties entitled to such distribution.

(c) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Secured Parties or as the Administrative Agent may otherwise direct in accordance with the Credit Documents.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Subject to the other limitations (if any) set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, it is understood that the Credit Parties shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations of the Credit Parties.

(f) It is understood and agreed by each Credit Party that the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 4.02 except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own or its Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Credit Party also agrees that the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the requirements hereof and of any Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to wait for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination.

Section 4.03 Securities Act, Etc. In view of the position of the Credit Parties in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Securities Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Credit Party understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable “blue sky” or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, “blue sky” or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Requisite Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.03 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

(b) A Credit Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interests created hereunder in the Collateral of such Credit Party shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction that is permitted by the Credit Agreement, as a result of which such Credit Party ceases to be a subsidiary.

Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

Section 5.16 Additional Subsidiaries.
