5.8 Negative Pledge.

The Debtor agrees to reimburse the Secured Party on demand for all expenditures so made. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to the 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.

The Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.

ARTICLE VIII

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

8.1 Limitation on the Secured Party’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it takes such action as the Debtor requests in writing, but failure of the Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not in itself be deemed a failure to act reasonably, and no failure of the Secured Party to do any act not so requested shall be deemed a failure to act reasonably.

 

8.2 Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Debtor for liquidation or reorganization, should the Debtor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Debtor’s property and assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

 

8.3 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

(i) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 

(ii) Each of the parties hereto consents to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the county of San Francisco in the State of California, and irrevocably agrees that all actions or proceedings relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be litigated in one of such courts, and each of the parties waives any objection that it may have based on improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of any such action or proceeding in any such court and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents to all such service of process made in the manner set forth in Section 8.4. Nothing contained in this Section 8.3(ii) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process on any other party in any other manner permitted by law.

 

8.4 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in made in accordance with all of the provisions of Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtor, the Secured Party, all future holders of the Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Debtor may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, which consent the Secured Party may withhold or delay in its sole and complete discretion.

 

8.6 Waivers and Amendments.

In the case of any waiver, the Debtor and the Secured Party shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Secured Obligations, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

8.7 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between the Debtor and the Secured Party shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently and as often and in such order as the Secured Party deems expedient and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Party would otherwise have whether by security agreement or now or hereafter existing under applicable law. No notice to or demand on the Debtor in any case shall entitle the Debtor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Secured Party to any other or future action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

 

 

8.8 Termination; Release. When the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full this Security Agreement shall terminate, and the Secured Party, at the request and sole expense of the Debtor, will execute and deliver to the Debtor the proper instruments (including UCC termination statements) acknowledging the termination of this Security Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Debtor, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Secured Party and has not theretofore been disposed of, applied or released.

 

8.9 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections and subsections of this Security Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Security Agreement.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Security Agreement or the Secured Obligations shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
