Debtor agrees to reimburse Collateral Agent or such Secured Party on demand for all expenditures so made. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation to Debtor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed as the waiver or cure of any Default or Event of Default.

 

12.2  Collateral Agent’s Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Collateral Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall Collateral Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to Collateral Agent or to which Collateral Agent may be entitled at any time or times. Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9a-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account.

 

13.  Securities and Deposits. Collateral Agent may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its sole option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, Collateral Agent may following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from Collateral Agent to Debtor may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations. If Collateral Agent exercises such setoff right, Collateral Agent exercising such right agrees promptly to notify Debtor after any such setoff and application made by Collateral Agent; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

14.  Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor shall, at the request and option of Collateral Agent, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of Collateral Agent in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to Collateral Agent or to any financial institution designated by Collateral Agent as Collateral Agent’s agent therefor, and Collateral Agent may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon Debtor, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, Debtor shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Debtor as trustee for Collateral Agent without commingling the same with other funds of Debtor and shall turn the same over to Collateral Agent in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. Collateral Agent shall ratably distribute to each Secured Party the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Collateral Agent, for application by each Secured Party to the Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

 

15.  Power of Attorney.

 

15.1  Appointment and Powers of Collateral Agent. Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor or in Collateral Agent’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of Debtor, without notice to or assent by Debtor, to do the following:

 

(a)  upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code and as fully and completely as though Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Collateral Agent deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Collateral Agent’s security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all at least as fully and effectively as Debtor might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state, local or other agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, (ii) upon written notice to Debtor, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if Collateral Agent so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities, and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral;

 

(b)  to the extent that Debtor’s authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without Debtor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as Collateral Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in Debtor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require Debtor’s signature; and

 

(c)  to file for record, at Borrower’s cost and expense and in Borrower’s name, any notices that Collateral Agent considers necessary or desirable to protect the Collateral.

 

15.2  Ratification by Debtor. To the extent permitted by law, Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

15.3  No Duty on Collateral Agent. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act, except for Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

16.  Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent, without any other notice to or demand upon Debtor, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Collateral Agent may, so far as Debtor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. During continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may in its discretion require Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of Debtor’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as Collateral Agent may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Collateral Agent shall give to Debtor at least ten Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Debtor hereby acknowledges that ten Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.

 

17.  Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Collateral Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Collateral Agent 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 as Debtor, 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 Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 17 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Collateral Agent would fulfill Collateral Agent’s duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of the State of Utah or any other relevant jurisdiction in Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 17. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 17 shall be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 17.

 

18.  No Waiver by Collateral Agent, etc. Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Agent. No delay or omission on the part of Collateral Agent in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as Collateral Agent deems expedient.

 

19.  Suretyship Waivers by Debtor. Debtor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, Debtor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Collateral Agent may deem advisable. Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in Section 12.2. Debtor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

 

20.  Marshalling. Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

 

21.  Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. Debtor shall pay to Collateral Agent on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Collateral Agent in protecting, preserving or enforcing Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be distributed ratably to each Secured Party, which shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as each Secured Party may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9a-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code, any excess shall be returned to Debtor. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

 

22.  Overdue Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by Debtor hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment, interest at the rate of interest for overdue principal set forth in the Loan Documents.

 

23.  CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF UTAH WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE TRIED AND LITIGATED IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SALT LAKE, STATE OF UTAH OR, IN ANY OTHER COURT IN WHICH A PARTY SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY. EACH OF DEBTOR AND COLLATERAL AGENT WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SALT LAKE, STATE OF UTAH.

 

24.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF DEBTOR AND COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH OF DEBTOR AND COLLATERAL AGENT (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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

25.  WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DEBTOR SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST 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, THE LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF.

 

26.  MISCELLANEOUS WAIVERS. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), DEBTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF SALT LAKE, COUNTY OF SALT LAKE AND STATE OF UTAH, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE COLLATERAL AGENT FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. DEBTOR FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY UTAH STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF SALT LAKE AND COUNTY OF SALT LAKE MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO DEBTOR AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED IN THE GUARANTY OR THE LOAN AGREEMENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF DEBTOR SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.

 

27.  Miscellaneous. The headings of each section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon Debtor and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns. If any term of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been included herein. Debtor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be made in the manner required or permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code and otherwise in accordance with the terms and at the addresses set forth in the Chase Loan Agreement and the Chase Guaranty.

Collateral Agent acknowledges that it is aware, and Collateral Agent will advise its directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) who are informed as to the matters which are the subject of this Agreement, that the United States securities laws prohibit any Person who has received from an issuer material, non-public information concerning such issuer from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other Person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such Person is likely to purchase or sell securities. Lender further agrees that it will keep, and it will advise its Representatives of its obligations to keep, confidential any material non-public information disclosed to Collateral Agent by Borrower or any Person acting on Borrower’s behalf. This Section is a confidentiality agreement for purposes of Regulation FD promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
