(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, may deem appropriate; (G) to assign any Intellectual Property throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall determine, acting at the direction of the Required Holders; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Indenture Claimholders’ Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
(b)Other Powers. (i) Each Grantor also authorizes the Collateral Agent, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 9 or 10 hereof, any indorsement, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral and (ii) each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent (without prejudice to its rights under Section 12.10 of the Indenture) to file financing statements with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form (including, without limitation, a financing statement describing the collateral as “all assets”) and in such filing offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the
26
Collateral Agent under this Agreement. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.
(c)No Duty on Collateral Agent’s or Indenture Claimholders’ Part. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Indenture Claimholders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.
7. Investment Property.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid by the relevant Issuer to the extent permitted in the Indenture in respect of the Pledged Stock, and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Investment Property;provided,however, that each Grantor agrees that it shall not vote in any way that would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents or any of the other Indenture Documents. The Collateral Agent shall, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Borrower all proxies and other instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling any Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as provided for in the Indenture and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property may be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or its nominee, each acting at the direction of the Required Holders, may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders or noteholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, and except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13 hereof,
27
but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (i) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, to the extent such instruction is in compliance with applicable law.
(d) The rights of the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholders of any right or remedy against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any collateral security therefor, guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Indenture Claimholders shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall the Collateral Agent be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent agrees to release promptly to the Borrower any dividends, cash, securities, instruments and other property paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of the Collateral which it may receive under Section 7(b) hereof if, prior to the occurrence of an acceleration of any of the Obligations, all Defaults and Events of Default have been waived or are no longer continuing.
8. Performance by Collateral Agent of Any Grantor’s Obligations. If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Collateral Agent, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to payments on overdue principal on the Notes, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby;provided, that the Collateral Agent shall in any event first have given such Grantor written notice of its intent to do the same and such Grantor shall not have, within 30 days of such notice (or such shorter period as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine is necessary in order to preserve the benefits of this Agreement with respect to any material portion of the Collateral), paid such claim or obtained to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the release of the claim or Lien to which such notice relates.
9. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders and acting at the direction of the Required Holders, except with respect to the Pledged Stock, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. With respect to the Pledged Stock, in the event that any portion of the Obligations has been declared or becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the
28
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders and acting at the direction of the Required Holders, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as set forth in Section 7.10 (Priorities) of the Indenture subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-615(a)(3) and 9-615(a)(4) of the Code, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such Noteholder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Such Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder to collect such deficiency.
In addition to the rights and remedies specified above, the following provisions shall also be applicable to Intellectual Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(a) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), acting at the direction of the Required Holders, to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do
29
any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in the Indenture and Section 5(b) of this Agreement, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement if such infringement could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or financial condition of Bermuda Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and
(b) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies hereunder and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), under the Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned by such Grantor or that is licensed to such Grantor with the right to grant sublicenses, subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights of quality control and inspection in favor of the Trademark owner to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks.
10. Registration Rights.
(a) If the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 9 hereof, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of 90 days from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus that, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, shall reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
30
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale conducted in a manner that the Collateral Agent in good faith, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, believes to be commercially reasonable under the circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(c) Each Grantor further agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 10 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders, that the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants.
11.No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Grantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Grantor by any Noteholder, or the receipt of any amounts by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder with respect to any of the Collateral, no Grantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder against the Borrowers or any other Grantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Grantor seek any reimbursement from the Borrowers or any other Grantor in respect of payments made by such Grantor hereunder, or amounts realized by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder in connection with the Collateral, and any such rights of subrogation and reimbursement of the Grantors are hereby waived until all amounts owing to the Indenture Claimholders by the Grantors on account of the Obligations are paid in full.
12.Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations. Each Grantor shall remain obligated hereunder, and the Collateral shall remain subject to the Lien granted hereby notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Grantor, and without notice to or further assent by such Grantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder may be rescinded by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of each Grantor or any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder, and the
31
Indenture, the Notes, the other Indenture Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or part, as the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee, right of offset or other collateral security at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Indenture Claimholder shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure this or any other Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto. Each Grantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder upon this Agreement; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement; and all dealings between any Grantor and the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon such Grantor with respect to the Obligations.
13. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Indenture Claimholder, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise.
14. Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, except as otherwise provided in Section 3(c) hereof.
15. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
17. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
18. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Indenture Claimholder shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 20 hereof),
32
delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such Noteholder would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
19. Integration; Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Indenture Documents represent the entire agreement of each Grantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein or in the other Indenture Documents. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Indenture. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders and their respective successors and assigns.THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
20. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Indenture Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 11.02 (Notices) of the Indenture or Section 15 (Notices) of the Note Guarantee, as applicable, or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
21. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon each Grantor or the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder to be effective shall be in writing or by telecopy and unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or, in the case of mail, three days after deposit in the postal system, first class postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when sent, addressed to a party at the address provided for such party (including any addresses for copies) in Section 11.02 (Notices) of the Indenture or Section 15 (Notices) of the Note Guarantee, as applicable. The Collateral Agent agrees to accept and act upon notice, instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured facsimile transmission;provided,however, that (1) the party providing such written notice, instructions or directions, subsequent to such transmission of written notice, instructions or directions, shall provide the originally executed notice, instructions or directions to the Collateral Agent in a timely manner, and (2) such originally executed notice, instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such notice, instructions or directions. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Agent’s reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such notice, instructions or directions notwithstanding such notice, instructions or directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent notice, instructions or directions.
22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts (including facsimile and electronic transmission counterparts) taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
23. Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders, be governed by the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and each Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Indenture Claimholders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and such Grantor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
24. Nondisturbance. The Collateral Agent agrees, for itself and on the Indenture Claimholders’ behalf, that if any Enforcement Action is taken by the Collateral Agent or by any of the Noteholders with respect to the Intellectual Property Security Interest in the Intellectual Property Rights, the transfer of such Intellectual Property Rights in such Enforcement Action and the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder of any of its other rights under the Indenture Documents, shall be subject to the rights of the Licensee expressly stated in the NEC License and none of the Licensee’s rights under the NEC License shall be discharged, waived, modified, impaired or terminated by reason of such Enforcement Action. To the extent
34
applicable, the Collateral Agent, for itself and on the Indenture Claimholders’ behalf, acknowledges and agrees that all rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to the NEC License are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property,” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code.
25. Attornment. If the interest of any Grantor in any of the Intellectual Property Rights is transferred by reason of, or assigned in lieu of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of, the Indenture Documents, then, subject to the provisions set forth herein, the NEC License with respect to such Intellectual Property Rights shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect and, upon the Collateral Agent’s written request, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, the Licensee shall attorn to the transferee of such Intellectual Property Rights (the “Intellectual Property Transferee”). Although the foregoing provisions shall be self-operative, in order to confirm such attornment, upon the Collateral Agent’s request, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, the Licensee shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) an agreement of attornment in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, and the Licensee, at the Collateral Agent’s sole cost and expense, confirming the foregoing attornment and providing that all the terms, covenants, and conditions of the NEC License on the Licensee’s part will be performed for the benefit of the Intellectual Property Transferee with the same force and effect as if the Intellectual Property Transferee were the originally named licensor of such Intellectual Property Rights in the NEC License, or (ii) a new license with respect to the transferred Intellectual Property Rights with the Intellectual Property Transferee, as licensor, for the remaining term of the NEC License with respect to the transferred Intellectual Property Rights and otherwise on the same terms and conditions and with the same options, if any, then remaining. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to obligate the Collateral Agent to cure any default by any Grantor under the NEC License occurring prior to the date on which the Intellectual Property Transferee succeeds to the Borrowers’ and the Grantor’s rights, it being expressly agreed that under no circumstances shall the Collateral Agent or the Intellectual Property Transferee be obligated to remedy any such default except, in the case of the Intellectual Property Transferee, to the extent that such default continues after the Intellectual Property Transferee takes title to the transferred Intellectual Property Rights and the Intellectual Property Transferee has assumed the obligations with respect to the NEC License as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above.
26. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of Bermuda Holdings that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.17 (Additional Subsidiary Guarantors) of the Indenture shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement, and a Guarantor for all purposes of the Note Guarantee, upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 2 hereto.
27. Releases. Without limiting Sections 12.03 (Release of Collateral), 12.04 (Specified Releases of Collateral) and 12.05 (Release upon Satisfaction or Defeasance of all Outstanding Obligations) of the Indenture, the Collateral Agent agrees to cooperate with each Grantor with respect to any sale permitted by Sections 5.10 (Asset Sales) and 5.16 (Sale and Leaseback Transactions) of the Indenture and promptly take such action and execute and deliver such instruments and documents reasonably requested by such Grantor to release, without recourse or warranty, the Liens and security interests created hereby relating to any of the assets or property
35
affected by any sale permitted by Sections 5.10 (Asset Sales) and 5.16 (Sale and Leaseback Transactions) of the Indenture including, without limitation, any necessary Uniform Commercial Code amendment, termination or partial termination statement.
28. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when all the Obligations have been paid in full. Upon such termination, the Collateral Agent shall reassign and redeliver (or cause to be reassigned and redelivered) to each Grantor, or to such person or persons as such Grantor shall designate, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus, against receipt, such of the Collateral (if any) as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof and shall still be held by it hereunder, together with appropriate instruments or reassignment and release in form reasonably requested by such Grantor. Any such reassignment and release shall be without recourse upon or warranty by the Collateral Agent (other than a warranty that the Collateral Agent has not assigned its rights and interests hereunder to any Person) and at the expense of each Grantor.
29. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INDENTURE DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
30. Incorporation by Reference. In connection with its execution and acting hereunder the Collateral Agent is entitled to all rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits provided to it under the Indenture.
