(c)            The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of the Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

 

(d)            The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations and (ii) a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than Permitted Liens that have priority as a matter of law.

 

(e)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon direction by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent will release its Lien on any Receivables sold pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or 4.7(a) of the Servicing Agreement and to execute and deliver to the Grantor or as the Grantor shall direct, at the Grantor’s expense, such additional instruments, including, without limitation, UCC financing statement releases, as the Grantor may reasonably request to effect or evidence such release.

 

Section 2.02       Representations and Warranties. The Grantor represents and warrant to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that:

 

(a)            It has good and valid rights in and title to the Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained.

The Grantor has not filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable laws covering any Collateral or (ii) any assignment in which the Grantor assigns any Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for the Lien created by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 2.03       Covenants. (a) The Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any change (i) in its corporate name, (ii) in the location of its chief executive office, its principal place of business, any office in which it maintains books or records relating to Collateral owned by it or any office or facility at which Collateral owned by it is located (including the establishment of any such new office or facility), (iii) in its identity or type of organization or corporate structure, (iv) in its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number or (v) in its jurisdiction of organization. The Grantor agrees to promptly provide the Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the first sentence of this paragraph. The Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected first priority security interest in all the Collateral. The Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Collateral owned or held by such Grantor is damaged or destroyed.

 

(b)            The Grantor agrees to maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and accurate records with respect to the Collateral owned by it as is consistent with its current practices, but in any event to include complete accounting records indicating all payments and proceeds received with respect to any part of the Collateral, and at such time or times as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail satisfactory to the Collateral Agent showing the identity, amount and location of any and all Collateral.

 

(c)            Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 5.01(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate executed by a Financial Officer and a legal officer of the Grantor (i) setting forth (A) its full legal name, (B) the location of its chief executive office, its principal place of business, any office in which it maintains books or records relating to Collateral owned by it or any office or facility at which Collateral owned by it is located (including the establishment of any such new office or facility), (C) its identity or type of organization or corporate structure, (D) its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number and (E) its jurisdiction of organization and (ii) certifying that all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations, including all refilings, rerecordings and reregistrations have been made.

(f)             At its option, the Collateral Agent may, and upon instructions from the Administrative Agent shall, discharge (subject to receipt of applicable funds) past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and not permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to the extent the Grantor or the Servicer fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement, the Receivables Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, and the Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing the Grantor 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 the Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 

(g)            The Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and the Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

 

(h)            The Grantor shall not make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement. The Grantor shall not make or permit to be made any transfer of the Collateral and it shall remain at all times in possession of the Collateral owned by it, except that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Grantor and the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and that during the existence thereof the Grantor shall not sell, convey, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Collateral (which notice may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), the Grantor may use and dispose of the Collateral in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(i)              The Grantor will not, without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any Accounts included in the Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, compromises, settlements, releases, credits or discounts granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its current practices.

 

(j)              If at any time the Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Obligor or any other person to secure payment and performance of a Receivable, it shall promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Obligor or other person granting the security interest.

 

Section 2.04       Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, the Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral:

 

(a)            Instruments. If the Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any instruments, it shall forthwith 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 or the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

ARTICLE III

Remedies

 

Section 3.01       Remedies Upon Default. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have, in addition to all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction, the right (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders of the Highest Priority Class) to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and Section 8.05(d) of the Credit Agreement the Loans Documents and acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders of the Highest Priority Class, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the sale of the Collateral in connection with a securitization thereof) 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; provided that any such public or private sale shall be called and conducted in a manner that complies with applicable law); provided, further, however, that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall not sell or enter into a binding commitment to sell any Receivables or other Collateral prior to the Class B Purchase Right Termination Date (and if one or more Class B Lender exercises its Class B Purchase Right, from and after the delivery of a Class B Purchase Option Notice, unless the Class B Purchase Option Notice is revoked pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or the Class B Purchase Option Lenders fail to complete such Class B Purchase Right on such Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date), without the prior written consent of the Class B Lender (or the Class B Purchase Option Lenders, if different). The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any sale of the Collateral (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will make such representations and agreements as necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with any applicable laws. Upon consummation of any such sale 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 sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantor ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice (which the Grantor 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 (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders of the Highest Priority Class); provided, however, that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall not sell or enter into a binding commitment to sell any Receivables or other Collateral prior to the Class B Purchase Right Termination Date (and if one or more Class B Lender exercises its Class B Purchase Right, from and after the delivery of a Class B Purchase Option Notice, unless the Class B Purchase Option Notice is revoked pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or the Class B Purchase Option Lenders fail to complete such Class B Purchase Right on such Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date), without the prior written consent of the Class B Lender (or the Class B Purchase Option Lenders, if different). 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 (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion (such discretion to be exercised in a manner consistent with the prior direction of the Majority Lenders of the Highest Priority Class). The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine (in consultation with the Majority Lenders of the Highest Priority Class) not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may (in consultation with the Majority Lenders of the Highest Priority Class), 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 case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is 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 case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by and in compliance with law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, 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 the Grantor (all said 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 the Grantor 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 without further accountability to the Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free (to the extent consistent with the prior direction of the Majority Lenders of the Highest Priority Class) to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Grantor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full; provided, that the cash proceeds of any such sale shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 3.02. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders of the Highest Priority Class) 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; provided however, that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall not sell or enter into a binding commitment to sell any Receivables or other Collateral prior to the Class B Purchase Right Termination Date (and if one or more Class B Lender exercises its Class B Purchase Right, from and after the delivery of a Class B Purchase Option Notice, unless the Class B Purchase Option Notice is revoked pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or the Class B Purchase Option Lenders fail to complete the Class B Purchase Right on such Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date), without the prior written consent of the Class B Lender (or the Class B Purchase Option Lenders, if different). Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.01 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 3.02       Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

 

FIRST, to the payment of fees of the Collateral Agent, if any, and all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of the Grantor, any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any other obligations of Grantor in favor of the Collateral Agent (including without limitation, indemnity and hold harmless obligations under this Agreement);

 

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) in the manner directed by the Instructing Party; and

 

THIRD, to the Grantor, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

 

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement except as directed by the Instructing Party. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

 

ARTICLE IV

Miscellaneous

 

Section 4.01       Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.07 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 4.02       Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such default at the time. No notice or demand on the Grantor in any case shall entitle the Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(b)            Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4.03       Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its fees and expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)            Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, the Grantor agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Party, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Party.

 

(c)            Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any assignment or appointment of successor Collateral Agent, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

 

Section 4.04       Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the applicable provisions of Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent may resign from its role hereunder at any time by notifying the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.

 

Section 4.05       Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantor in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and, to the extent made or delivered to the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

 

Section 4.06       Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute single contract, and shall become effective as provided in this Section 4.06.

Section 4.07       Severability.

The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
