extent (but only to the extent) required to prevent the Collateral from including more than 66% of
all voting Equity Interests in such Foreign Subsidiary, (C) United States intent-to-use trademark
applications to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security
interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark
applications under applicable federal law, and (D) any property to the extent that the grant of a
security interest therein is prohibited by any applicable law or regulation, requires a consent not
obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, or is
prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or
requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other
document evidencing or giving rise to such property or, in the
10
case of any Investment Property, any applicable shareholder or similar agreement, except to the
extent that such law or regulation or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or
other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach, default
or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law. Each Original Grantor
shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent that is reasonably obtainable.
(b) With respect to each right to payment or performance included in the Collateral from time
to time, the Transaction Lien granted therein includes a continuing security interest in (i) any
Supporting Obligation that supports such payment or performance and (ii) any Lien that (x) secures
such right to payment or performance or (y) secures any such Supporting Obligation.
(c) The Transaction Liens are granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or
liability of any Grantor with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection
therewith.
SECTION 3. General Representations and Warranties. Each Original Grantor represents and
warrants that:
(a) Such Grantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction identified as its jurisdiction of organization in its Perfection Certificate.
(b) Schedule 1 lists all Equity Interests in Subsidiaries and Affiliates owned by such Grantor
as of the Closing Date. Such Grantor holds all such Equity Interests directly (i.e., not through a
Subsidiary, a Securities Intermediary or any other Person).
(c) Schedule 2 lists, as of the Closing Date, (i) all Securities owned by such Grantor (except
Securities evidencing Equity Interests in Subsidiaries and Affiliates) and (ii) all Securities
Accounts to which Financial Assets are credited in respect of which such Grantor owns Security
Entitlements. Such Grantor owns no Commodity Account in respect of which such Grantor is the
Commodity Customer.
(d) All Pledged Equity Interests owned by such Grantor are owned by it free and clear of any
Lien other than (i) the Transaction Liens and (ii) any inchoate tax liens. All shares of capital
stock included in such Pledged Equity Interests (including shares of capital stock in respect of
which such Grantor owns a Security Entitlement) have been duly authorized and validly issued and
are fully paid and non-assessable. None of such Pledged Equity Interests is subject to any
11
option to purchase or similar right of any Person. Such Grantor is not and will not become a
party to or otherwise bound by any agreement (except the Credit Documents) which restricts in any
manner the rights of any present or future holder of any Pledged Equity Interest with respect
thereto.
(e) Such Grantor has good and marketable title to all its Collateral (subject to exceptions
that are, in the aggregate, not material), and, upon the filing, as applicable, of the UCC-3
termination statements and other notices of termination in connection with (i) Recordable
Intellectual Property and (ii) Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks arising under the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof delivered to the
Collateral Agent on the Closing Date (the “Release Documents”), free and clear of any Lien other
than Permitted Liens.
(f) Such Grantor has not performed any acts that might reasonably be expected to prevent the
Collateral Agent from enforcing any of the provisions of the Security Documents or that would limit
the Collateral Agent in any such enforcement. Upon the filing of the Release Documents, no
financing statement, security agreement, mortgage or similar or equivalent document or instrument
covering all or part of the Collateral owned by such Grantor will be on file or of record in any
jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect or record a Lien on
such Collateral, except financing statements, mortgages or other similar or equivalent documents
with respect to Permitted Liens. After the Closing Date, no Collateral owned by such Grantor will
be in the possession or under the Control of any other Person having a claim thereto or security
interest therein, other than a Permitted Lien.
(g) The Transaction Liens on all Personal Property Collateral owned by such Grantor (i) have
been validly created, (ii) will attach to each item of such Collateral on the Closing Date (or, if
such Grantor first obtains rights thereto on a later date, on such later date) and (iii) when so
attached, will secure all of the Obligations or such Grantor’s Secured Guarantee, as the case may
be.
(h) When the relevant Mortgages have been duly executed and delivered, the Transaction Liens
on all Real Property Collateral owned by such Grantor as of the Closing Date will have been validly
created and will secure all of the Obligations or such Grantor’s Secured Guarantee, as the case may
be. When such Mortgages have been duly recorded, such Transaction Liens will rank prior to all
other Liens (except Permitted Liens) on such Real Property Collateral.
(i) Such Grantor has delivered a Perfection Certificate to the Collateral Agent. The
information set forth therein is correct and complete as of the Closing Date.
12
(j) When UCC financing statements describing the Collateral as “all personal property” and the
Release Documents have been filed in the offices specified in such Perfection Certificate, the
Transaction Liens will constitute perfected security interests in the Personal Property Collateral
owned by such Grantor to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by filing
pursuant to the UCC, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Liens. When,
in addition to the filing of such UCC financing statements and the Release Documents, the
applicable Intellectual Property Filings have been made with respect to such Grantor’s Recordable
Intellectual Property (including any future filings required pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 7(a)),
the Transaction Liens will constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest
of such Grantor in its Recordable Intellectual Property to the extent that security interests
therein may be perfected by such filings, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein except
Permitted Liens. Except for (i) the filing of such UCC financing statements, (ii) such Intellectual
Property Filings and (iii) the due recordation of the Mortgages, no registration, recordation or
filing with any governmental body, agency or official is required in connection with the execution
or delivery of the Security Documents or is necessary for the validity or enforceability thereof or
for the perfection or due recordation of the Transaction Liens or for the enforcement of the
Transaction Liens , except to the extent that any of the Collateral consists of Patents, Trademarks
or Copyrights issued by a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state thereof
with respect to which perfection of the Transaction Liens cannot be effected in the manner
described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.
(k) Such Grantor has taken, and will continue to take, all actions necessary under the UCC to
perfect its interest in any Accounts or Chattel Paper purchased or otherwise acquired by it, as
against its assignors and creditors of its assignors.
(l) Such Grantor’s Collateral is insured as required by the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4. Further Assurances; General Covenants. Each Grantor covenants as follows:
(a) Such Grantor will, from time to time, at the Borrower’s expense, execute, deliver, file
and record any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any
other action (including any Intellectual Property Filing and any filing of financing or
continuation statements under the UCC) that from time to time may be necessary or desirable, or
that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to:
13
(i) create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on such
Grantor’s Collateral;
(ii) in the case of Pledged Deposit Accounts and Pledged Investment Property, cause
the Collateral Agent to have Control thereof;
(iii) enable the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to obtain the full
benefits of the Security Documents; or
(iv) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers
and remedies with respect to any of such Grantor’s Collateral.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, such Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute
and file such financing statements or continuation statements without such Grantor’s signature
appearing thereon. Such Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other
reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement.
Such Grantor constitutes the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all
Intellectual Property Filings and other filings required or so requested for the foregoing
purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; and such power, being
coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all the Transaction Liens granted by such
Grantor terminate pursuant to Section 21. The Borrower will pay the costs of, or incidental to,
any Intellectual Property Filings and any recording or filing of any financing or continuation
statements or other documents recorded or filed pursuant hereto.
(b) Such Grantor will not (i) change its name or corporate structure, (ii) change its location
(determined as provided in UCC Section 9-307) or (iii) become bound, as provided in UCC Section
9-203(d) or otherwise, by a security agreement entered into by another Person, unless (i) it shall
have given the Collateral Agent at least 15 days prior notice thereof and (ii) all filings required
under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise to ensure that the Collateral Agent has a valid,
legal and perfected security interest in the Collateral have been made.
(c) If any of its Collateral is in the possession or control of a warehouseman, bailee or
agent at any time, such Grantor will (i) notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent of the relevant
Transaction Liens, (ii) instruct such warehouseman, bailee or agent to hold all such Collateral for
the Collateral Agent’s account subject to the Collateral Agent’s instructions (which shall permit
such Collateral to be removed by such Grantor in the ordinary course of business until the
Collateral Agent notifies such warehouseman, bailee or agent that an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing), (iii) cause such warehouseman,
14
bailee or agent to Authenticate a Record acknowledging that it holds possession of such
Collateral for the Collateral Agent’s benefit and (iv) make such Authenticated Record available to
the Collateral Agent.
(d) Such Grantor will not sell, lease, exchange, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any
option with respect to, any of its Collateral; provided that such Grantor may do any of the
foregoing unless (i) doing so would violate a covenant in the Credit Agreement or (ii) an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified such
Grantor that its right to do so is terminated, suspended or otherwise limited. Concurrently with
any sale, lease or other disposition (except a sale or disposition to another Grantor or a lease)
permitted by the foregoing proviso, the Transaction Liens on the assets sold or disposed of (but
not in any Proceeds arising from such sale or disposition) will cease immediately without any
action by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. The Collateral Agent will, at the
Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the relevant Grantor such documents as such Grantor
shall reasonably request to evidence the fact that any asset so sold or disposed of is no longer
subject to a Transaction Lien.
(e) Such Grantor will, promptly upon request, provide to the Collateral Agent all information
and evidence concerning such Grantor’s Collateral that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request
from time to time to enable it to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents.
SECTION 5. Accounts. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) Such Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be collected from its
account debtors, when due, all amounts owing under its Accounts (including delinquent Accounts,
which will be collected in accordance with lawful collection procedures) and will apply all amounts
collected thereon, forthwith upon receipt thereof, to the outstanding balances of such Accounts.
Subject to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder if an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Grantor may allow in the ordinary course of
business as adjustments to amounts owing under its Accounts (i) any extension or renewal of the
time or times for payment, or settlement for less than the total unpaid balance, that such Grantor
finds appropriate in accordance with sound business judgment and (ii) refunds or credits, all in
the ordinary course of business and consistent with such Grantor’s historical collection practices.
The costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) of collection, whether incurred by such Grantor
or the Collateral Agent, shall be paid by such Grantor.
15
(b) If payments with respect to any of such Grantor’s Accounts are received in a lockbox or
similar account, such Grantor will (i) at all times cause such account to be a Controlled Deposit
Account and (ii) cause the relevant depositary bank to subordinate to the relevant Transaction Lien
all its claims to such account (except its right to deduct its normal operating charges and any
uncollected funds previously credited thereto). The Collateral Agent will instruct the relevant
depositary bank to transfer funds credited to any such account, as promptly as practicable after
receipt thereof, to a Controlled Deposit Account designated by such Grantor; provided that, if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may designate the
Controlled Deposit Account to which such funds are transferred.
(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Grantor will, if
requested to do so by the Collateral Agent, promptly notify (and such Grantor authorizes the
Collateral Agent so to notify) each account debtor in respect of any of its Accounts that such
Accounts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder, and that any payments due or to
become due in respect of such Accounts are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its
designee.
SECTION 6. Equipment. Each Grantor covenants that it will not permit any of its Pledged
Equipment to become a fixture to real estate or an accession to any personal property that is not
included in the Collateral.
SECTION 7. Recordable Intellectual Property. Each Grantor covenants as follows:
(a) On the Closing Date (in the case of an Original Grantor) or the date on which it signs and
delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Grantor), such Grantor
will sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent Intellectual Property Security Agreements with
respect to all Recordable Intellectual Property then owned by it. Within 30 days after each June
30 and December 31 thereafter, it will sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent an appropriate
Intellectual Property Security Agreement covering any Recordable Intellectual Property owned by it
on such June 30 or December 31 that is not covered by any previous Intellectual Property Security
Agreement so signed and delivered by it. In each case, it will promptly make all Intellectual
Property Filings necessary to record the Transaction Liens on such Recordable Intellectual
Property.
(b) Such Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any application or
registration relating to any material Recordable Intellectual Property owned or licensed by it may
become abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development
(including the institution
16
of, or any adverse determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States
Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding such
Grantor’s ownership of such Recordable Intellectual Property, its right to register or patent the
same, or its right to keep and maintain the same. If any of such Grantor’s rights to any
Recordable Intellectual Property are infringed, misappropriated or diluted in any material respect
by a third party, such Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent within 30 days after it learns
thereof and will, unless such Grantor shall reasonably determine that such action would be of
negligible value, economic or otherwise, take reasonable steps to protect its Recordable
Intellectual Property, including promptly suing for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and
to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and will take
such other actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to
protect such Recordable Intellectual Property.
SECTION 8. Investment Property. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) Certificated Securities. On the Closing Date (in the case of an Original Grantor) or the
date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any
other Grantor), such Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder all
certificates representing Pledged Certificated Securities then owned by such Grantor. Thereafter,
whenever such Grantor acquires any other certificate representing a Pledged Certificated Security,
such Grantor will deliver such certificate to the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder within
five days of its acquisition. The provisions of this subsection are subject to the limitation in
Section 13(j) in the case of voting Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary.
(b) Uncertificated Securities. On the Closing Date (in the case of an Original Grantor) or
the date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any
other Grantor), such Grantor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an
Issuer Control Agreement in respect of each Pledged Uncertificated Security then owned by such
Grantor and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Collateral Agent (which shall enter into
the same). Thereafter, whenever such Grantor acquires any other Pledged Uncertificated Security,
such Grantor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an Issuer Control
Agreement in respect of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and deliver such Issuer Control
Agreement to the Collateral Agent (which shall enter into the same). The provisions of this
subsection are subject to the limitation in Section 13(j) in the case of voting Equity Interests in
a Foreign Subsidiary.
17
(c) Security Entitlements. On the Closing Date (in the case of an Original Grantor) or the
date on which it signs and delivers its first Security Agreement Supplement (in the case of any
other Grantor), such Grantor will, with respect to each Security Entitlement then owned by it,
enter into (and cause the relevant Securities Intermediary to enter into) a Securities Account
Control Agreement in respect of such Security Entitlement and the Securities Account to which the
underlying Financial Asset is credited and will deliver such Securities Account Control Agreement
to the Collateral Agent (which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Grantor
acquires any other Security Entitlement, such Grantor will, as promptly as practicable, cause the
underlying Financial Asset to be credited to a Controlled Securities Account.
(d) Perfection as to Certificated Securities. When such Grantor delivers the certificate
representing any Pledged Certificated Security owned by it to the Collateral Agent and complies
with Section 8(h) in connection with such delivery, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged
Certificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others, (ii) the
Collateral Agent will have Control of such Pledged Certificated Security and (iii) the Collateral
Agent will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.
(e) Perfection as to Uncertificated Securities. When such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and
the issuer of any Pledged Uncertificated Security owned by such Grantor enter into an Issuer
Control Agreement with respect thereto, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Uncertificated
Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others, (ii) the Collateral
Agent will have Control of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and (iii) the Collateral Agent will
be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.
(f) Perfection as to Security Entitlements. So long as the Financial Asset underlying any
Security Entitlement owned by such Grantor is credited to a Controlled Securities Account, (i) the
Transaction Lien on such Security Entitlement will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or
rights of others (except Liens and rights of the relevant Securities Intermediary that are
Permitted Liens), (ii) the Collateral Agent will have Control of such Security Entitlement and
(iii) no action based on an adverse claim to such Security Entitlement or such Financial Asset,
whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or other theory, may be
asserted against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.
(g) Agreement as to Applicable Jurisdiction. In respect of all Security Entitlements owned by
such Grantor, and all Securities Accounts to which the related Financial Assets are credited, the
Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (determined as provided in UCC Section 8-110(e)) will at all
times be located in the United States.
18
(h) Delivery of Pledged Certificates. All Pledged Certificates, when delivered to the
Collateral Agent, will be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly
executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
(i) Communications. Each Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any
notices and other communications received by it with respect to (i) Pledged Securities registered
in the name of such Grantor or its nominee and (ii) Pledged Security Entitlements as to which such
Grantor is the Entitlement Holder.
(j) Foreign Subsidiaries. A Grantor will not be obligated to comply with the provisions of
this Section at any time with respect to any voting Equity Interest in a Foreign Subsidiary if and
to the extent (but only to the extent) that such voting Equity Interest is excluded from the
Transaction Liens at such time pursuant to clause (B) of the proviso at the end of Section 2(a)
and/or the comparable provisions of one or more Security Agreement Supplements.
(k) Compliance with Applicable Foreign Laws. If and so long as the Collateral includes (i)
any Equity Interest in, or other Investment Property issued by, a legal entity organized under the
laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States or (ii) any Security Entitlement in respect of a
Financial Asset issued by such a foreign legal entity, the relevant Grantor will take all such
reasonable action as may be required under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction to ensure that the
Transaction Lien on such Collateral ranks prior to all Liens and rights of others therein.
SECTION 9. Controlled Deposit Accounts. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as
follows:
(a) All cash owned by such Grantor will be deposited, upon or promptly after the receipt
thereof, in one or more Controlled Deposit Accounts. Each Controlled Deposit Account will be
operated as provided in Section 11.
(b) In respect of each Controlled Deposit Account, the Depositary Bank’s jurisdiction
(determined as provided in UCC Section 9-304) will at all times be a jurisdiction in which Article
9 of the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect.
(c) So long as the Collateral Agent has Control of a Controlled Deposit Account, the
Transaction Lien on such Controlled Deposit Account will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or
rights of others (except the Depositary Bank’s right to deduct its normal operating charges and any
uncollected funds previously credited thereto).
19
(d) Materiality Exception. The Grantors have the right not to comply with the foregoing
provisions of this Section with respect to Deposit Accounts having total collected balances that do
not at any time exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate for all Grantors. However, if an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may terminate the foregoing right not to
comply, or reduce the amount thereof, by giving at least 10 Business Days’ notice of such
termination or reduction to the relevant Grantors.
SECTION 10. Cash Collateral Accounts. (a) If and when required for purposes hereof, the
Collateral Agent will establish with respect to the Grantors the following Deposit Accounts (each
such Deposit Account, a “Cash Collateral Account”), in the name and under the exclusive control of
the Collateral Agent, which will be operated as provided in this Section and Section 11 and into
which all amounts owned by a Grantor that are to be deposited therein pursuant to the Credit
Documents shall be deposited from time to time:
(i) the Letter of Credit Account; and
(ii) the Collection Account.
(b) The following amounts shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Accounts:
(i) the Grantors shall deposit into the Letter of Credit Account each amount required
by Section 2.05(e) or Section 2.13(c) of the Credit Agreement to be deposited therein to
be held as security for the LC Exposure;
(ii) the Grantors shall deposit to the Collection Account each Cash Distribution
required by Section 14 to be deposited therein; and
(iii) the Collateral Agent shall deposit to the Collection Account each amount
realized or otherwise received with respect to assets of any Grantor upon any exercise of
remedies pursuant to any Security Document.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall maintain such records and/or establish such sub-accounts as
shall be required to enable it to identify the amounts held in each Cash Collateral Account from
time to time pursuant to each clause of subsection (b) of this Section.
(d) Unless (x) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) the maturity
of the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Article 8 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw amounts from the
Cash Collateral Accounts and apply them for the following purposes:
20
(i) any amount deposited to the Letter of Credit Account shall (i) be held as
collateral security in respect of the Borrower’s obligations in respect of any LC Exposure
and shall be withdrawn and applied against the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in
respect of any unreimbursed LC Disbursements as they become due and as otherwise provided
in Section 2.05(e) and 2.13(c) of the Credit Agreement; provided that such amount (to the
extent not theretofore so applied) shall be withdrawn and returned to the Borrower if and
when permitted by said Sections 2.05(e) and 2.13(c); and
(ii) any Cash Distribution deposited pursuant to Section 14 shall, at the relevant
Grantor’s request, (x) be withdrawn and applied to pay Obligations that are then due and
payable or (y) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be withdrawn and
returned to such Grantor.
SECTION 11. Operation of Collateral Accounts. (a) All Cash Distributions received with
respect to assets held in any Collateral Account shall be deposited therein promptly upon receipt
thereof.
(b) Funds held in any Controlled Securities Account may, until withdrawn, be invested and
reinvested in Cash or in such Cash Equivalents as the relevant Grantor shall request from time to
time; provided that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent
may select such Cash Equivalents.
(c) Funds held in any Controlled Deposit Account or Cash Collateral Account may, until
withdrawn, be invested and reinvested in Cash and in such Cash Equivalents as the relevant Grantor
shall request from time to time; provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Collateral Agent may select such Cash Equivalents.
(d) With respect to each Collateral Account (except a Cash Collateral Account, as to which
Section 10 applies), the Collateral Agent will instruct the relevant Securities Intermediary or
Depositary Bank that the relevant Grantor may withdraw, or direct the disposition of, funds held
therein unless and until the Collateral Agent rescinds such instruction. The Collateral Agent will
not rescind such instructions unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may (i)
retain, or instruct the relevant Securities Intermediary or Depositary Bank to retain, all cash and
investments then held in any Collateral Account, (ii) liquidate, or instruct the relevant
Securities Intermediary or
21
Depositary Bank to liquidate, any or all investments held therein and/or
(iii) withdraw any amounts held therein and apply such amounts as provided in Section 16.
(f) If immediately available cash on deposit in any Collateral Account is not sufficient to
make any distribution or withdrawal to be made pursuant hereto, the Collateral Agent will cause to
be liquidated, as promptly as practicable, such investments held in or credited to such Collateral
Account as shall be required to obtain sufficient cash to make such distribution or withdrawal and,
notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such distribution or withdrawal shall not be made until
such liquidation has taken place.
SECTION 12. Transfer Of Record Ownership. At any time when an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing for a period of at least ten days, the Collateral Agent may (and to the
extent that action by it is required, the relevant Grantor, if directed to do so by the Collateral
Agent, will as promptly as practicable) cause each of the Pledged Securities (or any portion
thereof specified in such direction) to be transferred of record into the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee. Each Grantor will take any and all actions reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent to facilitate compliance with this Section. If the provisions of this Section are
implemented, Section 8(b) shall not thereafter apply to any Pledged Security that is registered in
the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee. The Collateral Agent will promptly give to the
relevant Grantor copies of any notices and other communications received by the Collateral Agent
with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee.
SECTION 13. Right to Vote Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing for a period of at least ten days, each Grantor will have the right, from time to
time, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to any Pledged Security
owned by it and the Financial Asset underlying any Pledged Security Entitlement owned by it, and
the Collateral Agent will, upon receiving a written request from such Grantor, deliver to such
Grantor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any such Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominee or any such Pledged Security Entitlement as to which the Collateral
Agent or its nominee is the Entitlement Holder, in each case as shall be specified in such request
and be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing for a period of at least ten days, the
Collateral Agent will have no right to take any action which the owner of a Pledged
Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest is entitled to take with respect thereto, except the
right to receive payments and other distributions to the extent provided herein.
22
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing for a period of at least ten
days, the Collateral Agent will have the right to the extent permitted by law (and, in the case of
a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest, by the relevant partnership agreement,
limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or other governing document) to vote, to
give consents, ratifications and waivers and to take any other action with respect to the Pledged
Investment Property, the other Pledged Equity Interests (if any) and the Financial Assets
underlying the Pledged Security Entitlements, with the same force and effect as if the Collateral
Agent were the absolute and sole owner thereof, and each Grantor will take all such action as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time to give effect to such right.
SECTION 14. Certain Cash Distributions. Cash Distributions with respect to assets held in a
Collateral Account shall be deposited and held therein, or withdrawn therefrom, as provided in
Section 11. Cash Distributions with respect to any Pledged Equity Interest or Pledged Debt that is
not held in a Collateral Account (whether held in the name of a Grantor or in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominee) shall be deposited, promptly upon receipt thereof, in a Controlled
Deposit Account of the relevant Grantor; provided that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing for a period of at least ten days, the Collateral Agent may deposit, or direct
the recipient thereof to deposit, each such Cash Distribution in the relevant Grantor’s Collection
Account.
SECTION 15. Remedies upon Event of Default. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise (or cause its sub-agents to exercise) any or
all of the remedies available to it (or to such sub-agents) under the Security Documents.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all
the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where
such rights are exercised) with respect to any Personal Property Collateral and, in addition, the
Collateral Agent may, without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as
may be required by mandatory provisions of law, withdraw all cash held in the Collateral Accounts
and apply such cash as provided in Section 16 and, if there shall be no such cash or if such cash
shall be insufficient to pay all the Obligations in full, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose
of the Collateral or any part thereof. Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given
to the relevant
Grantor(s) as required by Section 18. The foregoing provisions of this subsection shall apply
to Real Property Collateral only to the extent permitted by applicable law and the provisions of
any applicable Mortgage or other document.
23
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:
(i) the Collateral Agent may license or sublicense, whether general, special or
otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Pledged intellectual
property (including any Pledged Recordable Intellectual Property) throughout the world for
such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in
its sole discretion determine; provided that such licenses or sublicenses do not conflict
with any existing license of which the Collateral Agent shall have received a copy;
(ii) the Collateral Agent may (without assuming any obligation or liability
thereunder), at any time and from time to time, in its sole and reasonable discretion,
enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against any licensee or
sublicensee all rights and remedies of any Grantor in, to and under any of its Pledged
intellectual property and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and
each Grantor releases the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party from liability
for, and agrees to hold the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party free and
harmless from and against any claims and expenses arising out of, any lawful action so
taken or omitted to be taken with respect thereto, except for claims and expenses arising
from the Collateral Agent’s or such Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct; and
(iii) upon request by the Collateral Agent (which shall not be construed as implying
any limitation on its rights or powers), each Grantor will execute and deliver to the
Collateral Agent a power of attorney, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, for the implementation of any sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of
such Grantor’s Pledged intellectual property or any action related thereto. In connection
with any such disposition, but subject to any confidentiality restrictions imposed on such
Grantor in any license or similar agreement, such Grantor will supply to the Collateral
Agent its know-how and expertise relating to the relevant intellectual property or the
products or services made or rendered in connection with such intellectual property, and
its customer lists and other records relating to such intellectual property and to the
distribution of said products or services.
SECTION 16. Application of Proceeds. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply (i) any cash held in the Collateral Accounts and (ii)
the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, in the
following order of priorities:
24
first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other disposition, including reasonable
compensation to agents of and counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent, and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the Security Documents, and any other
amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant
to Section 17 or pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement;
second, to pay the unpaid principal of the Obligations (including all obligations in
respect of Hedge Agreements, Banking Services Obligations and Existing Secured Hedging
Obligations) ratably (or provide for the payment thereof pursuant to Section 16(b)), until
payment in full of the foregoing Obligations shall have been made (or so provided for);
third, to pay ratably all interest (including Post-Petition Interest) on the
Obligations payable under the Credit Agreement, until payment in full of all such interest
and fees shall have been made;
fourth, to pay all other Obligations ratably (or provide for the payment thereof
pursuant to Section 16(b)), until payment in full of all such other Obligations shall have
been made (or so provided for); and
finally, to pay to the relevant Grantor, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct, any surplus then remaining from the proceeds of the Collateral owned by it;
provided that Collateral owned by a Guarantor and any proceeds thereof shall be applied pursuant to
the foregoing clauses first, second, third and fourth only to the extent of such Guarantor’s
Maximum Liability. The Collateral Agent may make such distributions hereunder in cash or in kind
or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.
(b) If at any time any portion of any monies collected or received by the Collateral Agent
would, but for the provisions of this Section 16(b), be payable pursuant to Section 16(a) in
respect of a Contingent Obligation, the Collateral Agent shall not apply any monies to pay such
Contingent Obligation but instead shall request the holder thereof, at least 10 days before each
proposed distribution
hereunder, to notify the Collateral Agent as to the maximum amount of such Contingent
Obligation if then ascertainable (e.g., in the case of a letter of credit, the maximum amount
available for subsequent drawings thereunder). If the holder of such Contingent Obligation does
not notify the Collateral Agent of the maximum ascertainable amount thereof at least two Business
Days before such
25
distribution, such holder will not be entitled to share in such distribution. If
such holder does so notify the Collateral Agent as to the maximum ascertainable amount thereof, the
Collateral Agent will allocate to such holder a portion of the monies to be distributed in such
distribution, calculated as if such Contingent Obligation were outstanding in such maximum
ascertainable amount. However, the Collateral Agent will not apply such portion of such monies to
pay such Contingent Obligation, but instead will hold such monies or invest such monies in Cash and
Cash Equivalents. All such monies and Cash and Cash Equivalents and all proceeds thereof will
constitute Collateral hereunder, but will be subject to distribution in accordance with this
Section 16(b) rather than Section 16(a). The Collateral Agent will hold all such monies and Cash
and Cash Equivalents and the net proceeds thereof in trust until all or part of such Contingent
Obligation becomes a Non-Contingent Obligation, whereupon the Collateral Agent at the request of
the relevant Secured Party will apply the amount so held in trust to pay such Non-Contingent
Obligation; provided that, if the other Obligations theretofore paid pursuant to the same clause of
Section 16(a) (i.e., clause second or fourth) were not paid in full, the Collateral Agent will
apply the amount so held in trust to pay the same percentage of such Non-Contingent Obligation as
the percentage of such other Obligations theretofore paid pursuant to the same clause of Section
16(a). If (i) the holder of such Contingent Obligation shall advise the Collateral Agent that no
portion thereof remains in the category of a Contingent Obligation and (ii) the Collateral Agent
still holds any amount held in trust pursuant to this Section 16(b) in respect of such Contingent
Obligation (after paying all amounts payable pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to any
portions thereof that became Non-Contingent Obligations), such remaining amount will be applied by
the Collateral Agent in the order of priorities set forth in Section 16(a).
(c) In making the payments and allocations required by this Section, the Collateral Agent may
rely upon information supplied to it pursuant to Section 20(c). All distributions made by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall be final (except in the event of manifest error)
and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Secured Party
of any amount distributed to it.
SECTION 17. Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower will forthwith upon demand
pay to the Collateral Agent:
(i) the amount of any taxes that the Collateral Agent may have been required to pay
by reason of the Transaction Liens or to free any Collateral from any other Lien thereon;
(ii) the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including transfer
taxes and reasonable fees and expenses of
26
counsel and other experts, that the Collateral
Agent may incur in connection with (x) the administration or enforcement of the Security
Documents, including such expenses as are incurred to preserve the value of the Collateral
or the validity, perfection, rank or value of any Transaction Lien, (y) the collection,
sale or other disposition of any Collateral or (z) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of
any of its rights or powers under the Security Documents;
(iii) the amount of any fees that the Borrower shall have agreed in writing to pay to
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and that shall have become due and
payable in accordance with such written agreement; and
(iv) the amount required to indemnify the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral
Agent for, or hold either or both of them harmless and defend either or both of them
against, any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its
counsel and any experts or sub-agents appointed hereunder) incurred or suffered by the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in connection with the Security
Documents, except to the extent that such loss, liability or expense arises from the
Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or
a breach of any duty that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has under this
Agreement (after giving effect to Sections 19 and 20).
Any such amount not paid on demand will bear interest for each day thereafter until paid at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans for such day.
(b) If any transfer tax, documentary stamp tax or other tax is payable in connection with any
transfer or other transaction provided for in the Security Documents, the Borrower will pay such
tax and provide any required tax stamps to the Collateral Agent or as otherwise required by law.
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each of the Secured Parties, their respective affiliates and
the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs
and expenses of any kind
(including reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and
similar technical personnel and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) arising out of, or in
connection with any and all Environmental Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Grantor waives all rights for contribution and all other rights of recovery with
respect to liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses arising under or related to
27
Environmental Laws that it might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.
SECTION 18. Authority to Administer Collateral. Each Grantor irrevocably appoints the
Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such
Grantor, any Secured Party or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Secured Parties, but
at the Borrower’s expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to
time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any of the following
powers with respect to all or any of such Grantor’s Collateral:
(a) to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies
due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof,
(b) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
with respect thereto,
(c) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the proceeds or
avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute
owner thereof, and
(d) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or
other adjustment with reference thereto;
provided that, except in the case of Personal Property Collateral that is perishable or threatens
to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the
Collateral Agent will give the relevant Grantor at least ten days’ prior written notice of the time
and place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition thereof will be made. Any such notice shall (i) contain the information specified in
UCC Section 9-613, (ii) be Authenticated and (iii) be sent to the parties required to be notified
pursuant to UCC Section 9-611(c); provided that, if the Collateral Agent fails to comply with this
sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any)
imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC.
SECTION 19. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable
care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Collateral
Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession
or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent will be deemed
to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its
possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it
accords its
28
own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any
Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any
sub-agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such
liability arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 20. General Provisions Concerning the Collateral Agent.
(a) The provisions of Article 9 of the Credit Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
Collateral Agent, and shall be binding upon all Grantors and all Secured Parties, in connection
with this Agreement and the other Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Collateral Agent
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers,
except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Security Documents that the
Collateral Agent is required in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
10.02 of the Credit Agreement), and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Credit Documents,
the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure
to disclose, any information relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated
to or obtained by the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Collateral
Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any Collateral or for the
validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Transaction Lien, whether impaired by
operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under the Security
Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default
unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Collateral Agent by Holdings, the Borrower
or a Secured Party.
(b) Sub-Agents and Related Parties. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties and
exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The
Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its
rights and powers through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of Section 19 and this
Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and
any such sub-agent, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such subagent.
(c) Information as to Obligations and Actions by Secured Parties. For all purposes of the
Security Documents, including determining the amounts of the Obligations and whether an Obligation
is a Contingent Obligation or not, or
29
whether any action has been taken under any Secured
Agreement, the Collateral Agent will be entitled to rely on information from (i) its own records
for information as to the Secured Parties, their Obligations and actions taken by them, (ii) any
Secured Party for information as to its Obligations and actions taken by it, to the extent that the
Collateral Agent has not obtained such information from its own records, and (iii) the Borrower, to
the extent that the Collateral Agent has not obtained information from the foregoing sources.
(d) Refusal to Act. The Collateral Agent may refuse to act on any notice, consent, direction
or instruction from any Secured Parties or any agent, trustee or similar representative thereof
that, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, (i) is contrary to law or the provisions of any Security
Document, (ii) may expose the Collateral Agent to liability (unless the Collateral Agent shall have
been indemnified, to its reasonable satisfaction, for such liability by the Secured Parties that
gave such notice, consent, direction or instruction) or (iii) is unduly prejudicial to Secured
Parties not joining in such notice, consent, direction or instruction.
(e) Copies of Certain Notices. Within two Business Days after it receives or sends any notice
referred to in this subsection, the Collateral Agent shall send to the Lenders and each Secured
Party Requesting Notice, copies of any notice given by the Collateral Agent to any Grantor, or
received by it from any Grantor, pursuant to Section 15, 16, 18 or 21.
SECTION 21. Termination of Transaction Liens; Release of Collateral. (a) The Transaction
Liens granted by each Guarantor shall terminate when its Secured Guarantee terminates in accordance
with the Credit Agreement.
(b) The Transaction Liens shall terminate when all the Release Conditions are satisfied;
provided, that if at any time any payment of an Obligation is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored or returned upon the insolvency or receivership of the Borrower or otherwise, the
Transaction Liens shall be reinstated.
(c) At any time before the Transaction Liens terminate, the Collateral Agent may, at the
written request of the Borrower, (i) release any Collateral (but not all or substantially all the
Collateral) with the prior written consent of the
Required Lenders or (ii) release all or substantially all the Collateral with the prior
written consent of all Lenders.
(d) Upon any termination of a Transaction Lien or release of Collateral, the Collateral Agent
will, at the expense of the relevant Grantor, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as
such Grantor shall reasonably request
30
to evidence the termination of such Transaction Lien or the
release of such Collateral, as the case may be.
SECTION 22. Additional Grantors. Any Subsidiary may become a party hereto by signing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent a Security Agreement Supplement, whereupon such Subsidiary shall
become a “Grantor” as defined herein.
SECTION 23. Notices. Each notice, request or other communication given to any party
hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, and in the case
of any such notice, request or other communication to a Grantor other than the Borrower, shall be
given to it in care of the Borrower.
SECTION 24. No Implied Waivers; Remedies Not Exclusive. No failure by the Collateral Agent
or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect
to, any right or remedy under any Security Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy
under any Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or remedy. The rights and remedies specified in the Credit Documents are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
SECTION 25. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties. If all or any part of any Secured Party’s interest in any
Obligation is assigned or otherwise transferred, the transferor’s rights hereunder, to the extent
applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall be automatically transferred with such
obligation. This Agreement shall be binding on the Grantors and their respective successors and
assigns.
SECTION 26. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended, modified or terminated except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Collateral Agent, with the consent of such Lenders as are required to consent
thereto under Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. No such waiver, amendment or modification
shall (i) be binding upon any Grantor, except with the written
consent of the Borrower, or (ii) affect the rights of a Secured Party (other than a Lender)
hereunder more adversely than it affects the comparable rights of the Lenders hereunder, without
the consent of such Secured Party.
SECTION 27. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of New York, except as
31
otherwise required by mandatory provisions of law
and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of New York are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.
SECTION 28. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.
SECTION 29. Severability. If any provision of any Security Document is invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other
provisions of the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and
shall be liberally construed in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in order to
carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (ii) the
invalidity or unenforceability of such provision in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity
or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction.
32
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by
their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
