6.                                       The Company shall be in default under this Agreement upon the happening of any of the following events or conditions (each, a “Default”):  (a) it shall fail to pay when due or punctually perform any of the Obligations; (b) any covenant, warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Laurus by the Company or on its behalf was false in any material respect when made or furnished and such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the Company; (c) it shall fail to comply with any term or provision set forth in this Agreement and such failure (to the extent not covered by any other clause of this Section 5) shall remain uncured for a period of two (2) business days after the date on which Laurus notified the Company of such failure unless the Company can not remedy such default within such time period; (d) a default shall occur under the Preferred Stock or (e) default shall occur under any other document, instrument or agreement between Laurus and the Company and/or security issued in connection therewith, which such default is not cured within any applicable cure or grace period.

 

7.                                       Upon the occurrence of any Default and at any time thereafter, Laurus may declare all Obligations immediately due and payable and Laurus shall have the remedies of a secured party provided in the Code, this Agreement and other applicable law.  Upon the occurrence of any Default and at any time thereafter, Laurus will have the right to take possession of the Collateral and to maintain such possession on our premises or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other premises as you may desire, including, without limitation, the right to contact account debtors liable in respect of the Accounts for the purpose of engaging in collection activities with respect thereto.  Upon Laurus’ request, the Company shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Laurus at a place designated by Laurus.  If any notification of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, such notification, if mailed, shall be deemed properly and reasonably given if mailed at least ten business days before such disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to us either at our address shown herein or at any address appearing on Laurus’ records for the Company.  Any proceeds of any disposition of any of the Collateral shall be applied by Laurus to the payment of all expenses in connection with the sale of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses and disbursements and the reasonable expense of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, and

8.                                       If the Company defaults in the performance or fulfillment of any of the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions or warranties on our part to be performed or fulfilled under or pursuant to this Agreement, Laurus may, at its sole option without waiving its right to enforce this Agreement according to its terms, immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice to the Company, perform or fulfill the same or cause the performance or fulfillment of the same for the Company’s account and at its sole cost and expense, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be added to the Obligations and shall be payable on demand with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted by law.

 

9.                                       Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company appoints Laurus, any of its officers, employees or any other person or entity whom Laurus may designate as the Company’s attorney, with power to execute such documents in its behalf and to supply any omitted information and correct patent errors in any documents executed by the Company or on its behalf; to file financing statements against the Company covering the Collateral; to sign the Company’s name on public records; and to do all other things Laurus deem necessary to carry out this Agreement.  The Company hereby ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney and neither Laurus nor the attorney will be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law.  This power being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as any Obligations remains unpaid.

14.                                 No course of dealing between Laurus and the Company, nor any failure or delay on Laurus’ part in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy under this Agreement.  The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the Preferred Stock are cumulative, and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges, or remedies, now or hereafter existing, at law or in equity or otherwise.  The Company hereby waives in favor of Laurus all suretyship defenses and waives notice of (a) acceptance hereof and of all notices and demands of any kind to which the Company may be entitled and (b) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever liable upon the Accounts or the Obligations, protest, notices of presentment, non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of the Collateral or any default of any sort.  The Company further waives all of the Company’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which any of the Company or Laurus may now or hereafter have against any party liable for the Obligations.

 

15.                                 Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  In no event shall any payments hereunder (if deemed interest under applicable law or regulation) exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law or regulation.  If any provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, then such provision shall be deemed amended to provide for interest at said maximum rate and any excess amount shall be applied to the Obligations in such order as Laurus shall elect.
