at all times keep its Inventory and Equipment insured in favor of the
Collateral Agent, at its own expense, to the Collateral Agent's reasonable
satisfaction against fire, theft and all other risks to which such Collateral
may be subject; all policies or certificates with respect to such insurance
shall be endorsed to the Collateral Agent's satisfaction for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, by naming the Collateral Agent
as loss payee) and deposited with the Collateral Agent. If the Assignor shall
fail to insure such Inventory and Equipment to the Collateral Agent's
reasonable satisfaction, or if the Assignor shall fail to so endorse and
deposit all policies or certificates with respect thereto, the Collateral Agent
shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation) to procure such
insurance and the Assignor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for all
costs and expenses of procuring such insurance. The Collateral Agent may apply
any proceeds of such insurance when received by it toward the payment of any of
the Obligations to the extent the same shall then be due. The Assignor assumes
all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by
it and the liability of the Assignor to pay its Obligations shall in no way be
affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost,
destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to the Assignor.
6.2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Warehouse
Receipts Non-Negotiable
The Assignor agrees that if any
warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature of a warehouse receipt is issued
with respect to any of its Inventory, such warehouse receipt or receipt in the
nature thereof shall not be "negotiable" (as such term is used in
Section 7-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction or under other relevant law).
6.3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Further
Actions
The Assignor will, at its own
expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the
Collateral Agent from time to time, such lists, descriptions and designations
of its Collateral, warehouse receipts, receipts in the nature of warehouse
receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules,
confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer
endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or
instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral and other
property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the
Collateral Agent deems reasonably appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve
or protect its security interest in the Collateral.
6.4Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Financing
Statements
The Assignor agrees to assign and deliver to the Collateral
Agent such financing statements, in form acceptable to the Collateral Agent, as
the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request or as are
necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Collateral Agent to establish and
maintain a valid, enforceable, first priority security interest in the
Collateral as provided herein and the other rights and security contemplated
herein, all in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any
and all relevant jurisdictions or any other relevant
law. The Assignor will pay any
applicable filing fees and related expenses. The Assignor authorizes the
Collateral Agent to file any such financing statements without the signature of
the Assignor.
7.           Remedies Upon
Occurrence of Event of Default
7.1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Remedies;
Obtaining Collateral Upon Default
The Assignor agrees that, if any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such
case, subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law then in effect,
the Collateral Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under
applicable law, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under the Uniform
Commercial Code in all relevant jurisdictions and may:
(a)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Personally,
or by agents or attorneys, immediately retake possession of the Collateral or
any part thereof, from the Assignor or any other Person who then has possession
of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that
purpose may enter upon the Assignor's premises where any of the Collateral is
located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all
services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Assignor;
(b)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Instruct
the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation
(including, without limitation, the Receivables) constituting the Collateral to
make any payment required by the terms of such instrument or agreement directly
to the Collateral Agent;
(c)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Withdraw
all monies, securities and instruments in the Cash Collateral Account for
application to the Obligations;
(d)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Sell,
assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Assignor to sell, assign or
otherwise liquidate, any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, and take
possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation; and
(e)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Take
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the Assignor in
writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places
designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event the Assignor shall at its
own expense:Â (1) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places
so designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the Collateral
Agent, (2) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent
at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent as
provided in Section 7.2, and (3) while the Collateral shall be so stored and
kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to
protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition; it being
understood that the Assignor's obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of
the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a
court having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree
requiring specific performance by the Assignor of said obligation.
7.2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Remedies;
Disposition of Collateral
Any Collateral repossessed by
the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 7.1, and any other Collateral
whether or not so repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned,
leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety,
and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be
sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or
places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any
mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially
reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of,
in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent
or after any overhaul or repair which the Collateral Agent shall determine to
be commercially reasonable. Any such disposition which shall be a private sale
or other private proceeding permitted by such requirements shall be made upon
not less than [spelled number of days] (______) days' written notice to the
Assignor specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made and the
intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for
the [spelled number of days] (______) days after the giving of such notice, to
the right of the Assignor or any nominee of the Assignor to acquire the
Collateral involved at a price or for such other consideration at least equal
to the intended sale price or other consideration so specified. Any such
disposition which shall be a public sale permitted by such requirements shall
be made upon not less than [spelled number of days] (______) days' written
notice to the Assignor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the
absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction (which
may, at the Collateral Agent's option, be subject to reserve), after
publication of notice of such auction not less than [spelled number of days]
(______) days prior thereto in two newspapers in general circulation in
______. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Collateral
Agent on behalf of the Banks and/or the holders of the Notes may bid for and become
the purchaser of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in
accordance with this Section 7.2 without accountability to the Assignor (except
to the extent of surplus money received as provided in Section 7.4). If, under
mandatory requirements of applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be
required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which
does not permit the giving of notice to the Assignor as hereinabove specified,
the Collateral Agent need give the Assignor only such notice of disposition as
shall be reasonably practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of
applicable law.
7.3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Waiver of
Claims
Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, THE ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL
AGENT'S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE
COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING
FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH ASSIGNOR WOULD
OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF
ANY STATE, and the Assignor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by
law:
(a)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â All
damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any damages which are
the direct result of the Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct;
(b)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â All
other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other
requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent's rights
hereunder; and
(c)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â All
rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium
now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay
the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any
portion thereof, and the Assignor, for itself and all who may claim under it,
insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit
of all such laws.
Any sale of, or the grant of
options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall
operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law
or in equity, of the Assignor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar
both at law and in equity against the Assignor and against any and all Persons
claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized
upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under the Assignor.
7.4Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Application
of Proceeds
The proceeds of any Collateral
obtained pursuant to Section 7.1 or disposed of pursuant to Section 7.2 shall
be applied as follows:
(a)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â To
the payment of any and all expenses and fees (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Collateral Agent in obtaining,
taking possession of, removing, insuring, repairing, storing and disposing of
Collateral and any and all amounts incurred by the Collateral Agent in
connection therewith;
(b)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Next,
any surplus then remaining to the payment of the Obligations in the following
order of priority:Â (1) all interest accrued and unpaid; (2) the principal
amount owing on the Loans; (3) the fees than owing to the Agent; and (4) all
other Obligations then owing; and
(c)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â If
the Total Commitment is then terminated and no other Obligation is outstanding,
any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Assignor, subject, however, to the
rights of the holder of any then existing Lien of which the Collateral Agent
has actual notice (without investigation); it being understood that the
Assignor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount
of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the sums referred
to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 7.4 with respect to the Assignor.
7.5Â Â Â Remedies Cumulative
No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent or
any Bank or any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no
course of dealing between the
Assignor and the Collateral Agent or any Bank or the holder of any Note shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein
or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Collateral Agent or any
Bank or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on
the Assignor in any case shall entitle the Assignor to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of
the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Bank or the holder of any Note to any
other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
7.6Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Discontinuance
of Proceedings
In case the Collateral Agent
shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy
under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such
proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall
have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such
case the Assignor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the
Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder
with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under
this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent
shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
8.           Indemnity
8.1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Indemnity
(a)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The Assignor agrees to indemnify, reimburse and
hold the Collateral Agent, each Bank, the holder of any Note, and their
respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents
(hereinafter in this Section 8.1 referred to individually as
"Indemnitee" and collectively as "Indemnitees") harmless
from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (for the purposes of this
Section 8.1 the foregoing are collectively called "expenses") of
whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred
by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, any other Credit Document or the documents executed in connection
herewith and therewith or in any other way connected with the administration of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or the enforcement of any of
the terms of or the preservation of any rights under any thereof, or in any way
relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchase,
delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation,
condition, sale, return or other disposition or use of the Collateral
(including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not
discoverable), the violation of the laws of any country, state or other
governmental body or unit, any tort (including, without limitation, claims
arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account
of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnitee), or for
property
damage) or any contract claim; provided, however, that no Indemnitee shall be
indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) for expenses to the extent caused
by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The Assignor
agrees that upon written notice by any Indemnitee of any assertion that could
give rise to an expense, the Assignor shall assume full responsibility for the
defense thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to use its best efforts to promptly
notify the Assignor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has
knowledge.
(b)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Without
limiting the application of Section 8.1(a), the Assignor agrees to pay, or
reimburse the Collateral Agent for (if the Collateral Agent shall have incurred
fees, costs or expenses because the Assignor shall have failed to comply with
its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document), any and all
fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with
the creation, preservation or protection of the Collateral Agent's Liens on,
and security interest in, the Collateral, including, without limitation, all
fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and
documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or
in respect of the Collateral, premiums for insurance with respect to the
Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with
protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's
interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in
defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or
relating to the Collateral.
(c)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Without
limiting the application of Section 8.1(a) or (b), the Assignor agrees to pay,
indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any expenses which
such Indemnitee may suffer, expend or incur in consequence of or growing out of
any misrepresentation by the Assignor in this Agreement or any of the other
Credit Documents or in any statement or writing contemplated by or made or
delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other
Credit Documents.
(d)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â If
and to the extent that the obligations of the Assignor under this Section 8.1
are unenforceable for any reason, Assignor hereby agrees to make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is
permissible under applicable law.
8.2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Indemnity
Obligations Secured by Collateral; Survival
Any amounts paid by any
Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement shall
constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. The indemnity obligations of
the Assignor contained in this Section 8 shall continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding the full payment of all the Notes issued under the
Credit Agreement and all of the other Obligations and notwithstanding the
discharge thereof.
