5. Valid and Binding Obligation. Each of the Transaction Documents is a valid and binding obligation of Borrower enforceable in accordance with its respective terms.
6. No Approvals or Consents. No approval or consent by any Person or entity is necessary in connection with the execution of the Transaction Documents by Borrower or the performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Transaction Documents. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents does not and will not violate any statute, law, ordinance or regulation.
7. No Violation of Other Obligations. Neither the Transaction Documents nor anything provided to be done under the Transaction Documents violates or shall violate, or shall cause the acceleration of any debt or obligation of Borrower under, any contract, document, understanding, agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it may be bound.
G. Events of Default.
The occurrence of any of the events of default set forth in Section 9.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall constitute an event of default (each, an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement.
7
H. Default Costs.
Should an Event of Default occur, Borrower will pay to Lender all costs reasonably incurred by the Lender for the purpose of enforcing its rights hereunder, including:
1. costs of foreclosure;
2. costs of obtaining money damages; and
3. a reasonable fee for the services of an attorney employed by Lender for any purpose related to this Agreement or the Obligations, including consultation, drafting documents, sending notices or instituting, prosecuting or defending litigation or arbitration and including, without limitation, such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in pursuing recovery and protecting any of its rights or interests, in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding in which Borrower is the debtor.
I. Remedies Upon Default.
1. General. Upon any Event of Default, all Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without notice or demand. In addition, Lender may pursue any remedy available at law (including those available under the provisions of the UCC), or in equity to collect, enforce, or satisfy any Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
2. Exceptions for Loan Collection. If Borrower fails to repay the Principal and Interest when due pursuant to Section 9.2.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, then Lender may, at its sole election, with at least 30 Business Days’ written notice elect as a remedy that (a) the license granted by Borrower to Lender under Section 4 of the License Agreement shall come into full force and effect, (b) the Assignment Agreement shall come into full force and effect so that in particular but without limitation Lender shall enjoy the full benefit of the license of the Chaparral IP (as defined in the Master Alliance Agreement) in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 4 of the License Agreement and the full benefit of the Technology Cross License Agreement and the Adaptec IP (as defined in the Master Alliance Agreement) in accordance with the terms thereof and (c) Lender shall sub-license, and shall be deemed to have sub-licensed in accordance with the Assignment Agreement, to Borrower the rights provided in the Technology Cross License Agreement solely for the purpose of enabling Borrower to continue with its business operations. So long as the License
8
Agreement and the Assignment Agreement come into full force and effect as contemplated by Section 4 of the License Agreement and at that time Borrower is not in “liquidation” (as that expression is defined in the Master Alliance Agreement) and for so long as each of the License Agreement and the Assignment Agreement remain in full force and effect as aforesaid, Lender shall not seek to recover the Principal and accrued Interest thereon due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Interest shall not continue to accrue on the Principal; provided, however that if Lender has not received a claim that the License Agreement and/or the Assignment Agreement is not in full force and effect within 12 months of the Principal and Interest becoming due as aforesaid or if Lender has received such claim then when such claim has been withdrawn or adjudicated by a court of final appeal and the result of that adjudication is that the aforesaid full benefit of the license of the Chaparral IP (as defined in the Master Alliance Agreement) and the Technology Cross License Agreement and Adaptec IP (as defined in the Master Alliance Agreement) remains available to Lender, then Borrower shall no longer be obligated to repay the Principal and Interest nor shall the Lender seek damages solely with respect to the Borrower’s failure to repay Principal and Interest as aforesaid, except for an amount equal to the reasonable costs and expenses of litigating, arbitrating and/or settling such claim, all of which shall be recoverable from Borrower by Lender and, upon such recovery, the Lender shall return the Note to the Borrower in accordance with Section 7.3.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
3. Concurrent Remedies. Upon an Event of Default, subject to the election of remedies by Lender set forth in Section I.2 above, Lender shall have the right to pursue any of the following remedies separately, successively, or simultaneously:
(i) File suit and obtain judgment, and, in conjunction with any action, Lender may seek any ancillary remedies provided by law, including levy of attachment and garnishment.
(ii) Take possession of and use any Collateral if not already in its possession without demand and without legal process.
(iii) Sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at public or private sale in accordance with the UCC.
9
J. Foreclosure Procedures.
1. No Waiver. No delay or omission by the Lender to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall (a) impair any right or remedy, (b) waive any default or operate as an acquiescence to the Event of Default, or (c) affect any subsequent default of the same or of a different nature.
2. Notices. Lender shall give Borrower such notice of any private or public sale as may be required by the UCC.
3. No Obligation to Pursue Others. Lender has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them and Lender may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Lender’s rights against Borrower. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Lender to pursue any third person for any of the Obligations.
4. Compliance With Laws. Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
5. Warranties. Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
6. No Marshaling. Lender has no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower, or against or in payment of:
(i) the Note,
(ii) any of the other Obligations, or
(iii) any other obligation owed to Lender by Borrower or any other Person.
