V. REMEDIES OF SECURED PARTY
SECTION 5.01 Enforcement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall have, in addition to all of its other rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by operation of law or otherwise (which rights shall be cumulative), all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, without charge, to enter any Grantor’s premises, and, until it completes the enforcement of its rights in the Collateral subject to its security interest hereunder and the sale or other disposition of any property subject thereto, take possession of such premises without charge, rent or payment therefor (through self-help, without judicial process and without having first given notice or obtained an order of any court), or place custodians in control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same for the purpose of completing any work in progress, preparing any Collateral for disposition, and disposition of or collecting any Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may, without demand, advertising or notice, all of which Grantor hereby waives (except as the same may be required by law), sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of and grant options to a third party to purchase, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral held by it or for its account at any time or times in one or more public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash, on credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, deems advisable. At any such sale, the Collateral, or any portion thereof, may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, deems advisable. Grantor agrees that if notice of sale shall be required by law, such requirement shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to Grantor at its address set forth above, or such other address as it may have, in writing, provided to the Secured Party, at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale or disposition. The Secured Party may postpone or adjourn any sale of any Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of the sale to be so postponed or adjourned, without being required to give a new notice of sale. Notice of any public sale shall be sufficient if it describes the security of the Collateral to be sold in general terms, stating the amounts thereof, the nature of the business in which such Collateral was created and the location and nature of the properties covered by the other security interests or mortgages and the prior liens thereof. The Secured Party may be the purchaser at any such sale if it is public, free from any right of redemption, which Grantor also waives, and payment may be made, in whole or in part, in respect of such purchase price by the application of the Obligations by the Secured Party. Grantor, with respect to its property constituting such Collateral, shall be obligated for, and the proceeds of sale shall be applied first to, the costs of taking, assembling, finishing, collecting, refurbishing, storing, guarding, insuring, preparing for sale, and selling the Collateral, including the fees and disbursements of attorneys, auctioneers, appraisers and accountants employed by the Secured Party. Proceeds shall then be applied to the payment, in whatever order the Secured Party may elect, of all of the Obligations. The Secured Party shall return any excess to Grantor or to whomever may be fully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In the event that the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay in full the Obligations, Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

SECTION 5.02 Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third-party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third-party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business, Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risk of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral, or to provide to the Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 5.02 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Party would fulfill the Secured Party’s duties under the UCC or the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in other relevant jurisdiction in the Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 5.02. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.02 shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantor or to impose any duties on the Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 5.02.
SECTION 5.03 Waiver. Grantor waives any right, to the extent applicable law permits, to receive prior notice of, or a judicial or other hearing with respect to, any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the Secured Party to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of the Collateral in any instance (regardless of where such Collateral may be located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or by applicable law, or of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder, and Grantor also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any bond, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or otherwise by law as an incident to any taking of possession by the Secured Party of property subject to the Secured Party’s Lien. Grantor further waives any damages (direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, including the taking of possession of any Collateral, all to the extent that such waiver is permitted by law and to the extent that such damages are not caused by the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents have been negotiated by the parties, and Grantor acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice and has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder.
SECTION 5.04 Other Rights. Grantor agrees that the Secured Party shall not have any obligation to preserve rights to any Collateral against prior parties or to proceed first against any Collateral or to marshal any Collateral of any kind for the benefit of any other creditors of Grantor or any other Person. The Secured Party is hereby granted, to the extent that Grantor is permitted to grant a license or right of use, a license or other right to use, without charge, labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use, of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature of Grantor as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral, and Grantor’s rights under all licenses and any franchise, sales or distribution agreements shall inure to the Secured Party’s benefit.
7
SECTION 5.05 Expenses. Grantor agrees that it shall pay on demand therefor all costs and expenses incurred in amending, implementing, perfecting, collecting, defending, declaring and enforcing the Secured Party’s rights and security interests in the Collateral hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document or other instrument or agreement delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including, but not limited to, searches and filings, and the Secured Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees (regardless of whether any litigation is commenced, whether a default is declared hereunder, and regardless of tribunal or jurisdiction).
VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 6.01 Termination. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly fully paid and satisfied and the Asset Purchase Agreement shall have expired or been terminated, and, until such time, the Secured Party shall retain all security in and title to all existing and future Collateral held by it hereunder.
SECTION 6.02 Remedies Cumulative. The Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of any other rights or remedies which it may have under the Asset Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise and may be exercised alternatively, successively or concurrently, as the Secured Party may deem expedient.
SECTION 6.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement is entered into for the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. It shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the said parties, their successors and assigns. Grantor shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, and any attempted assignment shall be null and void.
SECTION 6.04 Notices. Wherever this Agreement provides for notice to either party (except as expressly provided to the contrary), it shall be in writing and given in the manner specified in Section 11.2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Such notices to Grantor shall be delivered to the address for notices set forth on Schedule B annexed hereto.
SECTION 6.05 Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, remedy or option hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, privilege, remedy or option, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an officer of the Secured Party, and only to the extent therein set forth.
SECTION 6.06 Entire Agreement; Modifications and Amendments. This Agreement and the other agreements to which it refers constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be changed, modified, waived, amended or terminated orally, but only by a writing signed by the Secured Party and any party to be charged.
SECTION 6.07 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Grantor made or deemed made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
8
SECTION 6.08 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, in such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 6.09 Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OR CHOICE OF LAWS. GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST IT AND RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, THAT THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, THAT THE VENUE OF THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER, OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF MAY NOT BE LITIGATED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GRANTOR AGREES (i) NOT TO SEEK, AND HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO, ANY REVIEW OF THE JUDGMENT OF ANY SUCH COURT BY ANY COURT OF ANY OTHER NATION OR JURISDICTION WHICH MAY BE CALLED UPON TO GRANT AN ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH JUDGMENT, AND (ii) NOT TO ASSERT ANY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. GRANTOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL TO THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY METHOD AUTHORIZED BY THE LAWS OF NEW YORK. GRANTOR AND THE SECURED PARTY EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
SECTION 6.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including with delivery by facsimile or other electronic transmission), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
