22


the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of the Grantor therein, (y) a violation of a valid and enforceable restriction in respect of such General Intangible, Instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement or other such rights (1) in favor of a third party or (2) under any law, regulation, permit, order or decree of any Governmental Authority or (z) a breach or termination (or result in any party thereto having the right to terminate) pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, such General Intangible, Instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC or any other applicable law or principles of equity); provided, however, that such security interest will attach immediately at such time as the condition causing such abandonment, invalidation, unenforceability or breach or termination, as the case may be, is remedied and, to the extent severable, any portion of such General Intangible, Instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement that does not result in any of the consequences specified in the immediately preceding clause (x), (y) or (z), including any proceeds of such General Intangible, Instrument, license, property rights, permit or any other contract or agreement, will become Collateral immediately, (II) more than 65% of the outstanding voting Capital Stock in any Foreign Subsidiary of the Company; (III) any Capital Stock in any Non-Significant Subsidiary; (IV) any Capital Stock in any Permitted Syndication Subsidiary, any Securitization Subsidiary or any Permitted Joint Venture Subsidiary to the extent the pledge of the Capital Stock in such Subsidiary is prohibited by any applicable Contractual Obligation or requirement of law; (V) any vehicle or other asset subject to certificate of title; (VI) any asset that requires perfection through control agreements (including, to the extent required in the relevant jurisdiction for deposit accounts and investment property); (VII) any minority Capital Stock; (VIII) (A) with respect to any assets that would otherwise constitute Non-ABL Priority Collateral, any such assets with respect to which the Non-ABL Senior Collateral Agent reasonably determines that the cost of creating and/or perfecting a security interest therein is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Senior-Priority Secured Parties (other than the ABL Facility Secured Parties) or that the granting or perfection of a security interest therein would violate applicable law or regulation and (B) with respect to any assets that would otherwise constitute ABL Priority Collateral, any such assets with respect to which the ABL Collateral Agent reasonably determines that the cost of creating and/or perfecting a security interest therein is excessive in relation to the benefit to the ABL Facility Secured Parties or that the granting or perfection of a security interest therein would violate applicable law or regulation; (IX) any assets (other than any General Intangible, Instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement) owned by any Grantor that are subject to (i) Liens securing Indebtedness to finance the acquisition, construction or improvement of fixed or capital assets permitted by Section 6.02(n) of the Credit Agreement or (ii) any Lien existing on any property or asset prior to the acquisition thereof by the Company or any Subsidiary or existing on property or assets of any Person becoming a Subsidiary after the date hereof prior to the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary, in each case, permitted by Section 6.02(c) of the Credit Agreement, and in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, only to the extent and for so long as such Lien exists and the terms of the Indebtedness or Obligations secured thereby prevent the grant of a security interest in such assets to secure Senior-Priority Obligations or Junior-Priority Obligations; (X) Excluded Stock Collateral but only to the extent that, and for so long as, the inclusion of such Excluded Stock Collateral as collateral for any outstanding Senior-Priority Registered Debt Securities would have required the Company to file separate financial statements for any subsidiary with the SEC; and (XI) any leasehold interest in real property (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”).

 

23


(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements (including fixture filings) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Article 9 Collateral as “all assets” of such Grantor or words of similar effect, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent promptly upon request.

(c) Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

(e) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

Each Grantor represents and warrants that a fully executed short form agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, and containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of pending and issued United States Patents and United States Trademarks and United States Copyrights will be delivered to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent as of or prior to the date hereof for timely recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §261, 15 U.S.C. §1060 or 17 U.S.C. §205 and the regulations thereunder.

25


(f) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Junior-Priority Obligations, (ii) subject to the qualifications and filings described in Section 3.02(b) (including payment of applicable fees in connection therewith), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which and to the extent a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law in such jurisdictions and (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of this Agreement (or short form thereof) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable. The Security Interest is and shall be (i) a second-priority security interest in the Non-ABL Priority Collateral and a third-priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, as applicable, for any of the Article 9 Collateral and (ii) subject to any Permitted Liens that have priority as a matter of law.

(g) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Permitted Liens.

Each Grantor agrees promptly to provide the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the first sentence of this paragraph. Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless, at its own cost and expense, all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral. Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Article 9 Collateral owned or held by such Grantor is damaged or destroyed.

 

26


(b) Each Grantor agrees to maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and accurate records (in all material respects) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral owned by it as is consistent with its current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged, but in any event to include complete accounting records (in all material respects) indicating all material payments and proceeds received with respect to any part of the Article 9 Collateral.

(c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 3.10(a) of the 2023 Notes Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent a certificate executed by an Officer of the Company setting forth in the format of Schedule VI all Intellectual Property of any Grantor in existence on the date thereof that, if it had existed on the date hereof, would have been required to be listed in such Schedule, and not then listed on such Schedules or previously so identified to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent.

(d) Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien other than Permitted Liens.

(e) The Grantors shall, at their own expense, on or within five Business Days following the date hereof, (i) record and file all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements prepared pursuant to Section 3.02(b) and (ii) execute and file all Intellectual Property security agreements required or desirable in connection with the perfection of the Security Interests in Collateral in existence as of the date hereof constituting U.S. Intellectual Property registrations and applications.

(f) Each Grantor will, at its own expense, (i) take steps to maintain the security interest created, or intended to be created, by this Agreement in the Collateral as a valid, legal, enforceable and perfected security interest and, without limiting the foregoing, will file all Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements or amendments as may be required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction to continue the perfection of the security interest created, or intended to be created, by this Agreement in the Collateral as a perfected security interest, (ii) take all actions reasonably required from time to time to ensure recordation of evidence of the security interest created, or intended to be created, by this Agreement in Collateral constituting Intellectual Property by execution and filing of Intellectual Property security agreements, or supplements thereto, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, with respect to U.S. Intellectual Property registrations and applications and (iii) provide prompt written notice to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.01, of any filings or amendments made pursuant to the above clauses (i) and (ii).

(g) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, promptly to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions that may be required under applicable law or that any Authorized Representative or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to obtain, preserve,

 

27


protect and perfect (to the extent that perfection can be achieved under any applicable law by such filings and actions) the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing or continuation statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable to any Grantor under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument with a face amount in excess of $1,000,000, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Applicable Priority Agent or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, with prompt notice thereof to Grantors, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule VI or adding additional schedules hereto to identify any such assets or items identified by such Grantor each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 3.10(a) of the 2023 Notes Indenture that may constitute U.S. registrations or applications for Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks owned by such Grantor. Each Grantor agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be necessary, and which the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request, in order that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Collateral within 45 days after the date it has notified the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral.

(h) The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and such persons as the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may designate shall have the right to inspect, subject to a reasonable prior notice to each Grantor, the Article 9 Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from such records) and the premises upon which any of the Article 9 Collateral is located, to discuss the applicable Grantor’s affairs with the officers of such Grantor and its independent accountants and to verify the existence, validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or other Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification, subject in each case to the requirements of applicable law, including healthcare laws, data privacy and third party confidentiality obligations, all at the expense of the Company; provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only one such visit during any fiscal year shall be at the Company’s expense. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party, subject in each case to the requirements of applicable law, including healthcare laws, data privacy and third party confidentiality obligations.

(i) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, at its option, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may, with five Business Days’ prior written notice to the relevant Grantor, discharge past due Taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any

 

28


time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not expressly permitted pursuant to the Indentures, the other Note Documents or the Pari Passu Agreements, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indentures, any Pari Passu Agreement or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent within five Business Days after written demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to Taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein, in the other Note Documents or in the Pari Passu Agreements.

(j) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other person valued in excess of $1,000,000 to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties. 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 Account Debtor or other person granting the security interest.

(k) Except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, each 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 Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance in accordance with Section 6.06 of this Agreement.

(l) No Grantor shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Article 9 Collateral or permit any notice to be filed under the Assignment of Claims Act, except, in each case, as expressly permitted by the then existing Indentures, the other Note Documents and the Pari Passu Agreements. No Grantor shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Article 9 Collateral, except as permitted by the then existing Indentures, the other Note Documents and the Pari Passu Agreements.

(m) No Grantor will, without the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any Accounts included in the Article 9 Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof (unless the aggregate amount of such compromised or settled Accounts in any fiscal year is not in excess of $5,000,000), release, wholly or partly, any person liable for the payment thereof (unless the aggregate amount of such compromised or settled Accounts in any fiscal year is not in excess of $5,000,000) or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon (unless the aggregate amount of such compromised or settled Accounts in any fiscal year is not in excess of $5,000,000), other than extensions, credits, discounts, compromises, compoundings or settlements in each case granted or made in the ordinary course of business.

 

29


(n) Each Grantor, at its own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or damage to the Inventory and Equipment in accordance with the requirements set forth in the then existing Indentures, the other Note Documents and the Pari Passu Agreements. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto (provided that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall give five Business Days’ prior written notice to such Grantor prior to exercising its rights in such capacity). In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or under the Indentures, the other Note Documents or the Pari Passu Agreements or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of any Grantor hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole reasonable discretion, upon notice to the Grantors, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, out-of-pocket expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within five Business Days of written demand (accompanied by supporting documentation therefor in reasonable detail), by the Grantors to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and shall be additional Junior-Priority Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 3.04. Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

(a) Instruments. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments (other than any Instruments in an amount no greater than $1,000,000) that have not been pledged hereunder, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Applicable Priority Agent or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, accompanied by such undated instruments of endorsement, transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Applicable Priority Agent or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, may from time to time reasonably request.

(b) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any material Electronic Chattel Paper or any material “transferable record”, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as reasonably necessary (as determined in good faith by such Grantor) to vest in the Applicable Priority Agent or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, control under New York UCC Section 9-105 of such

 

30


Electronic Chattel Paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the Grantor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall be obligated to deliver to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or the Applicable Priority Agent any Electronic Chattel Paper held by such Grantor with a face amount less than $1,000,000, provided that the aggregate face amount of the Electronic Chattel Paper so excluded pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed $10,000,000 at any time.

(c) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit with a face amount exceeding $2,000,000 now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent thereof and such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Applicable Priority Agent or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Applicable Priority Agent or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be paid to the applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

(d) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $5,000,000, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of such claim and grant to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent.

(e) Further Assurances. The Company and the Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, take any and all actions that may be required under applicable law, or that any Authorized Representative or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and junior-priority status of the Security Interests created or intended to be created by this Agreement and the other Notes Collateral Documents.

SECTION 3.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. In each case unless otherwise decided by such Grantor in its reasonable business judgment and/or such Collateral is not material to the business of such Grantor:

(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not, and will not permit any of its licensees to, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent that is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business may become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to mark any products covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number to the extent necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws, to the extent required by applicable law.

(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable law, to the extent required by applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any third party rights.

(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice to the extent necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable copyright laws, to the extent required by applicable law.

(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its business has or is likely to become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office of any country, but not including ordinary course matters arising during prosecution) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same.

(e) If any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, files an application for any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (or for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States, the Grantor shall so notify the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 3.10(a) of the 2023 Notes Indenture, and shall execute, deliver and file any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers reasonably necessary to evidence the Security Interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright (as determined in good faith by such Grantor).

(f) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States

 

32


Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States, to maintain and pursue each material application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of any Grantor’s business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

(g) In the event that any Grantor knows or has reason to believe that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of any Grantor’s business has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third person, such Grantor promptly shall notify the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions, if consistent with good business judgment, as are reasonably appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral.

(h) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the reasonable request of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall use its best efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License, and each other material License, to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, or its designee.

ARTICLE IV

Remedies

SECTION 4.01. Remedies Upon Default. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, upon the occurrence and solely during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the direction of the applicable Authorized Representative in accordance with the terms of the Junior-Priority Lien Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (provided that if the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent has requested instruction from the applicable Authorized Representative and such Authorized Representative has not responded to such request, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent will not be required to take, and will not have any liability for the failure to take, any actions with regard to a default or event), to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantor to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers

 

33


cannot be obtained), (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law and (c) with respect to all Capital Stock included in the Collateral, to the extent permitted by law, to exercise voting and other consensual rights and powers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the requirements of the Intercreditor Agreements and of applicable law, including any applicable healthcare laws, and upon the direction of the applicable Authorized Representative in accordance with the terms of the Junior-Priority Lien Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall give each applicable Grantor 10 days’ written notice (which each 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 Junior-Priority Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Junior-Priority 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 Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In 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 Junior-Priority Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Junior-Priority 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

 

34


sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any 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 any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Junior-Priority Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

SECTION 4.02. Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by each Authorized Representative and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Representative in respect of any Pari Passu Debt Obligations in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Notes Collateral Documents, the Indentures, any Pari Passu Agreement or any of the Junior-Priority Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by any Authorized Representative, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Representative in respect of any Pari Passu Debt Obligations (in their respective capacities as such) on behalf of any Grantor and any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Notes Collateral Documents or any Pari Passu Agreement, as applicable;

SECOND, to the payment in full of all other Junior-Priority Obligations (the amounts so applied to the Secured Parties to be distributed pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Junior-Priority Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

THIRD, to the Grantors, as applicable, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

 

35


Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, if no Senior-Priority Obligations are outstanding the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Junior-Priority 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 Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 4.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. Solely for the purpose of enabling the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies (including in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements), each Grantor hereby grants to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors), to use, license or sublicense any of the Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may be exercised at the option of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, and shall be effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, however, that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

SECTION 4.04. Securities Act, Etc. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent if the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable “blue sky” or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Federal Securities Laws, may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a

 

36


registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of purchasers (or a single purchaser) were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.04 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent sells.

ARTICLE V

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

SECTION 5.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 5.03), the Company agrees that in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Notes Collateral Document to satisfy in whole or in part a claim of any Secured Party, the Company shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

SECTION 5.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 5.03) that, in the event assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Notes Collateral Document to satisfy any Junior-Priority Obligation owed to any Secured Party, and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Company as provided in Section 5.01, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto after the date hereof, the date on which such party became a Guarantor hereunder). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 5.01 to the extent of such payment.

SECTION 5.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Junior-Priority Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made). No failure on the

 

37


part of the Company or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 5.01 and 5.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of its obligations hereunder.

(b) The Company and each Guarantor hereby agree that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to the Company or any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Junior-Priority Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, nothing in this Section 5.03(b) shall prohibit any payments or distributions permitted by the then existing Indentures, the other Note Documents and the Pari Passu Agreements.

38


Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Indenture, any other Note Document, any Pari Passu Agreement, any other agreement with respect to any of the Junior-Priority Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Junior-Priority Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Indenture, any other Note Document, any Pari Passu Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating to the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Junior-Priority Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Junior-Priority Obligations or this Agreement.

SECTION 6.03. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors hereunder and in the other Note Documents, any Pari Passu Agreement and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, any other Note Document or any Pari Passu Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Note Documents and of any Pari Passu Agreement in connection with any Series of Pari Passu Debt Obligations, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any note is issued or other credit is extended under any Indenture or any Pari Passu Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 6.15.

SECTION 6.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement and except as expressly permitted by any then existing Indenture and any then existing Pari Passu Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

SECTION 6.05. 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 permitted assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

39


SECTION 6.06. Junior-Priority Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 12.1 of the 2023 Notes Indenture and in Section 12.1 of the 2024 Notes Indenture.

(b) Without limitation or duplication of its indemnification obligations under the other Note Documents or any Pari Passu Agreement, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties (together, the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties and related reasonable out of pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and any such additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for all Indemnitees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or to the Collateral, regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether initiated by a third party or by a Grantor or any Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither any Grantor nor the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives any claim against any Indemnitee, any Grantor and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Note or the use of proceeds thereof.

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder or under any Pari Passu Agreement shall be additional Junior-Priority Obligations secured hereby and by the other Notes Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, any other Note Document or any Pari Passu Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Junior-Priority Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, any other Note Document or any Pari Passu Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.06 shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor.

SECTION 6.07. Junior-Priority Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, each Grantor hereby appoints the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent as the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution

 

40


either in the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (provided, that to the extent written notice is not required hereunder, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to such Grantor, though its rights hereunder are not conditioned thereon) (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof, (b) upon three Business Days’ prior written notice to such Grantor, to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral, (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral, (d) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral, (e) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral and (f) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, as fully and completely as though the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the 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 any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith.

SECTION 6.08. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 6.09. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Note Document or any Pari Passu Agreement shall operate as a waiver hereof or 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 Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, each Authorized Representative and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Note Documents and any Pari Passu Agreements are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Note Document or any Pari Passu Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.09, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

41


(b) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, 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 Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with any other Note Document or any Pari Passu Agreement.

(c) So long as permitted by the Note Documents and the Pari Passu Agreements then in effect, the Company may from time to time designate Indebtedness and other obligations at the time of the assumption or incurrence thereof to be secured on a pari passu basis with the then outstanding Junior-Priority Obligations as Pari Passu Debt Obligations hereunder by delivering to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative a certificate signed by an Officer of the Company (i) identifying the Indebtedness and other obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, (ii) stating that such Indebtedness and other obligations are designated as Pari Passu Debt Obligations for purposes hereof, (iii) representing that such designation of such Indebtedness and other obligations as Pari Passu Debt Obligations complies with the terms of the Note Documents and the Pari Passu Agreements then outstanding and (iv) specifying the name and address of the Authorized Representative for such Indebtedness and other obligations. Upon such delivery, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall act hereunder for the benefit of all Secured Parties, including any Secured Parties that hold any Pari Passu Debt Obligations so designated.

SECTION 6.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT OR ANY PARI PASSU AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY (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 AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS AND ANY PARI PASSU AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.10.

SECTION 6.11. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). 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.

SECTION 6.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an

SUPPLEMENT NO. [●] (this “Supplement”) dated as of [●], 20[●] to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agreement dated as of June 22, 2018 (the “Collateral Agreement”), among CHS/COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), each Subsidiary from time to time party thereto (each such Subsidiary individually a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Company and Parent are referred to collectively herein as the “Grantors”) and REGIONS BANK (together with its affiliates “Regions Bank”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Junior-Priority Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined therein).

A. Reference is made to (a) that certain indenture, dated as of June 22, 2018, governing the Company’s Junior-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (such notes, the “2023 Notes”) (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2023 Notes Indenture”), among the Company, each guarantor party thereto and Regions Bank, an Alabama banking corporation, as trustee and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and (b) that certain indenture, dated as of June 22, 2018, governing the Company’s 8.125% Junior-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (such notes, the “2024 Notes” and, together with the 2023 Notes, the “Notes”) (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2024 Notes Indenture” and, together with the 2023 Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”), among the Company, each guarantor party thereto and Regions Bank, an Alabama banking corporation, as trustee and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent.

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the 2023 Notes Indenture or the Collateral Agreement referred to therein, as applicable.

C. The Grantors have entered into the Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Secured Parties to make certain extensions of credit. Section 6.16 of the Collateral Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Grantors under the Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement to become a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement.

Accordingly, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.16 of the Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date


A-2

 

hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Junior-Priority Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a “Grantor” or a “Subsidiary Guarantor” in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Subsidiary and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4. The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of (i) any and all Capital Stock and Pledged Debt Securities now owned by the New Subsidiary and required to be pledged under the Collateral Agreement and (ii) any and all Intellectual Property now owned by the New Subsidiary and that would have been required to be listed on Schedule V to the Collateral Agreement on the date thereof and (b) set forth under its signature hereto, is the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary and its jurisdiction of organization.

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Collateral Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto 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.


A-3

 

SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail, sent by telecopy or electronically mailed, as follows:

(a)    if to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, the 2023 Notes Authorized Representative or the 2024 Notes Authorized Representative, to it as provided in Section 6.01 of the Collateral Agreement;

(b)    if to an Additional Authorized Representative, to it at the address set forth in the applicable Officer’s certificate delivered in accordance with Section 6.09(c); or

(c)    if to the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the New Subsidiary), to it as provided in Section 6.01 of the Collateral Agreement.

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for communications and notices hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt (if a Business Day) and on the next Business Day thereafter (in all other cases) if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by telecopy or electronically mailed or on the date five Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 6.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 6.01.
