15.3        Effect of Default.

 

(a)          Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may, at any time without notice or cure, exercise any and all rights and remedies Agent has under this Agreement or applicable law, in order to cure any due and unpaid Payments at the time of the occurrence of such Event of Default.

 

(b)          Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may, after providing Seller with three (3) days written notice, exercise any and all rights and remedies Agent has under this Agreement or applicable law, including without limitation, acceleration of all Obligations of Seller under this Agreement and the Assigned Documents.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Event of  Default, Agent may, at any time without notice and cure, charge interest on all Obligations of Seller at a rate of fifteen (15%) percent per annum.

 

(d)          It is the intent of the parties hereto that Agent be vested with sole and exclusive authority to act on behalf of the Holders with respect to any Event of Default.  Accordingly, and for the avoidance of doubt, no Holder shall exercise any right or remedy that such Holder may have under this Agreement, any other Assigned Document or applicable law, otherwise take any action, in each case, with respect to any Event of Default, except to the extent such exercise or action has been approved in writing by Agent.

 

 

15.4         Temporary Forbearance.  The Agent, on behalf of the Holders, hereby agrees to forbear from exercising any of its rights under Section 15.3 as a result of the occurrence and continuation of any of the Specified Defaults solely during the period (the “Forbearance Period”) beginning on the date hereof and ending immediately upon the earliest of: (i) the occurrence or identification of any Event of Default other than the Specified Defaults, (ii) 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on November 11, 2011, or (iii) any material breach by Seller of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, in each case unless Agent, in writing, waives such breach.  Agent and the Holders expressly reserve the right to exercise all remedies under all Assigned Documents and under applicable law immediately upon the expiration of the Forbearance Period.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by Agent or any Holder of any Specified Default or any other Event of Default, whether now existing or hereafter arising under this Agreement or the Assigned Documents, or of any right or remedy that Agent and the Holders may have under any of the Assigned Documents or applicable law, except to the extent expressly set forth above.

 

 

17.         Amendment and Waiver.  Only a writing signed by Seller, Agent and all Holders may amend this Agreement; provided that Agent may, on behalf of the Holders and without the consent of any Holder but subject to the terms of Section 3 of the Holder Intercreditor Agreement, grant such waivers (whether of Events of Default or otherwise), agree to such forbearances (including by granting any temporary or permanent extension of any due date for amounts payable under this Agreement),  and otherwise consent to such departures from Seller’s obligations hereunder as the Agent determines in its sole discretion so long as such consent, waiver or departure does not materially and adversely affect any Holder  in a manner that is disproportionate (based upon their then respective ownership of the aggregate outstanding indebtedness of Seller under this Agreement or the Assigned Documents) to the effect on the other Holders.  For the avoidance of doubt Agent may, on behalf of the Holders and without the consent of any Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion agree to forbearances that extend for the benefit of Seller the duration of the Forbearance Period as set forth in Section 15.4 above.  No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder shall impair any such right that Agent may have, nor shall any waiver by Agent hereunder be deemed a waiver of any default or breach subsequently occurring. Agent’s rights and remedies herein are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any rights or remedies that Agent would otherwise have.

 

18.         Minimum Payment Amount. Termination.

 

18.1         Minimum Payments. Agent shall receive for the benefit of Holders from the proceeds of the Purchased Accounts the following minimum amounts, net of Incurred Expenses, in good funds, no later than the following dates:

 

 

Date of Payment		Amount of Payment				Amount of Payment Cumulative
11/4/2011		$	20,000.00			$	20,000.00
11/7/2011		$	194,000.00			$	214,000.00
11/11/2011		$	40,000.00			$	254,000.00
11/18/2011		$	40,000.00			$	294,000.00
11/20/2011		$	549,995.00			$	843,995.00
11/27/2011		$	40,000.00			$	883,995.00
12/4/2011		$	151,823.93			$	1,035,818.93

 

In the event Agent has not received from proceeds from the Purchased Assets the forgoing minimum cumulative amounts, net of Incurred Expenses, in good funds by the dates set forth hereinabove (the “Deficiency Amount”), Seller agrees to pay such Deficiency Amounts to Agent on or before the required payment date.  Failure of Agent to receive such amounts on such dates, shall be an Event of Default.

 

18.2         Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the later of (i) the collection by Agent of all the Purchased Accounts, or (ii) the collection by Agent of  $1,035,818.93 net of all Incurred Expenses.  Until termination of this Agreement, Agent shall be entitled to collect and retain for its own account all proceeds of all Seller's Accounts from all Account Debtors under the Purchased Accounts, regardless of whether they are for payment of the Purchased Accounts, and from any other account debtors arising from the sale of Physical Products after the date of this Agreement.  After Agent has collected $1,035,818.93, net of Incurred Expenses, all proceeds of Seller's Accounts from all Account Debtors under the Purchased Accounts received in excess of $1,035,818.93, net of all Incurred Expenses, shall be divided as follows:  90% paid to Seller and 10% retained by Agent for the account of Holders. In the event any payments are received from an Account Debtor that does not designate the invoice or account being paid, the proceeds will be turned over to Agent in kind and applied by Agent to the oldest outstanding invoice from such Account Debtor. Seller shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement at anytime prior to the termination events described in the initial sentence of this Section 18.2.  Upon the termination of this Agreement as described in the initial sentence of this Section 18.2, Agent shall release and discharge any security interest in all Collateral and waive any and all claims or interest it has or might have in and with respect to such Collateral.

 

19.         No Lien Termination without Release.  In recognition of Agent’s right to have its attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Seller, Agent shall not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any of Agent’s liens on the Collateral unless and until Seller and all guarantors has executed and delivered to Agent a general release in form acceptable to Agent. Seller understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under §9-513 of the UCC.

 

 

20.         Agent.

 

 

(a)          Each Holder hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent as the agent of such Holder under this Agreement and the other Assigned Documents, and each Holder irrevocably authorizes Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Assigned Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the Assigned Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

(b)          Except as expressly provided in Section 17 with respect to amendment of this Agreement and except as expressly provided in the Holder Intercreditor Agreement, Agent shall in all cases act or refraining from acting under this Agreement in accordance with the request of the Required Holders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all then-current and future Holders.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Assigned Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Assigned Document or otherwise exist against Agent.

 

20.2        Delegation of Duties.  Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Assigned Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

20.3        Exculpatory Provisions.

 

(a)          Neither Agent nor any of its members, managers, employees, agents, attorneys in fact, attorneys or affiliates shall (i) be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Assigned Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from its or such Person’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (ii) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event Default has occurred and is continuing, or (iii) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that Agent is required to exercise as directed by the Required Holders; provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Assigned Document or applicable law.  Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Assigned Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Seller.

 

 

(b)          Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default, or (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

 

20.4        Reliance by Agent.  Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent.  Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Holder), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with such advice.  Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Holders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by all Holders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Holders.

 

20.5        Notice of Default.  Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder unless Agent shall have received notice from a Holder or Seller referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  In the event that Agent shall receive such a notice, shall give notice thereof to Holders.  Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Holders; provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Holders.

 

 

20.6         Non Reliance on Agent and Other Holders.  Each Holder expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its managers, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Seller, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Holder.  Each Holder also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Assigned Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Seller and its affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Holders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Holder with any credit information or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Seller or any affiliate of Seller that may come into the possession of Agent or any of its members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

 

20.7         Indemnification.  Holders agree to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Seller and without limiting the obligation of Seller to do so), ratably according to the percentage of the outstanding Obligations owed by Seller to such Holder as of the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 20.7, for, and to save Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following termination of this Agreement) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the Assigned Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Holder shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section 20.7 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

20.8         Agent in its Individual Capacity.   Agent and its affiliates may act as a Holder hereunder, make loans to Seller and generally engage in any kind of business with Seller as though Agent were not Agent hereunder.  With respect to the holding, by Agent, of outstanding indebtedness of Seller under this Agreement Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement, the Assigned Documents, and the Holder Intercreditor Agreement as any Holder and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the terms “Holder” and “Holders” shall include Agent in its individual capacity.

 

 

20.9         Successor Agent.  Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving at least 20 days’ prior written notice thereof to Holders and Seller and Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to Seller and Agent and signed by the Required Holders.  In the event of such resignation, Agent or the Required Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent hereunder, and Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earlier of (i) the acceptance of such successor Agent by the Required Holders or (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice of resignation.  If Agent is removed pursuant to this Section 20.9, the Required Holders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Seller prior to the effective date of such removal, to appoint a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Seller.  If neither the retiring Agent nor the Required Holders have appointed a successor Agent, then the Required Holders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent; provided that, until a successor Agent is so appointed by the Required Holders, any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of Holders shall continue to be held by the retiring Agent as nominee until such time as a successor Agent is appointed.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent and the retiring or removed Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Agent all Accounts and other items of Collateral held under Assigned Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of a successor Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Agent of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 20 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent hereunder.

 

 

22.         Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

 

 

 

25.         Attorneys’ Fees.  Seller agrees to reimburse Agent on demand for:

 

25.1        the actual amount of all reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Agent has incurred or may incur in:

 

(a)          negotiating, preparing, or administering this Agreement and any documents prepared in connection herewith, provided, however, the attorneys’ fees incurred pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not exceed $50,000;

 

(b)          any way arising out of this Agreement;

 

(c)          protecting, preserving or enforcing any lien, security interest or other right granted by Seller to Agent or arising under applicable law, whether or not suit is brought, including, but not limited to, the defense of any Avoidance Claims;

 

25.2        the actual costs, including photocopying (which, if performed by Agent’s employees, shall be at the rate of $.10/page), travel, and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in complying with any subpoena or other legal process in any way relating to Seller.

 

25.3        the actual amount of all reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Agent may incur in enforcing this Agreement and any documents prepared in connection herewith, or in connection with any federal or state insolvency proceeding commenced by or against Seller, including those (a) arising out the automatic stay, (b) seeking dismissal or conversion of the bankruptcy proceeding or (c) opposing confirmation of Seller’s plan there under.

 

25.4        This Section 25 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
