2.5                            Title; Liens and Encumbrances.  Napo represents and warrants that it is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Collateral pledged by it hereunder, free of all liens other than Permitted Liens.  Napo represents and warrants that, upon

Section 3                                   REMEDIES.

 

Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Purchase Agreement or the Notes (any such unremedied default, an “Event of Default”), Agent, at the direction of the Required Purchasers, shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, this Security Agreement or in any other written agreement or instrument relating to any of the Obligations or any security therefor, as a secured party under the UCC or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Napo hereby waives any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights hereunder, and hereby consents to, and waives notice of release, with or without consideration, of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary.  Agent shall only exercise any such rights if directed to do so in writing by the Required Purchasers.

 

In the event of the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default:  (i) Agent may exercise exclusive control over the Collateral; (ii) Agent shall have the right, with or without (to the extent permitted by applicable law) notice to Napo, as to any or all of the Collateral, by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral, and generally to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law; (iii) Agent shall have the right to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, whether in its then condition or after further preparation or processing, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, with or without warranties or representations, and upon such terms and conditions, all as Agent in its sole discretion may deem advisable; (iv) at Agent’s request, Napo shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at places which Agent shall select, whether at Napo’s premises or elsewhere, and make available to Agent, without rent, all of Napo’s premises and facilities for the purpose of Agent’s taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form; (v) Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash interest, dividends, distributions, payments or other proceeds paid in respect of the Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as Agent may determine; and (vi) any or all of the Collateral may be registered in the name of Agent or its nominee and they may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Collateral and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all securities or securities entitlements upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change, or upon the exercise of Napo or Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such securities or securities entitlements, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the securities or securities entitlements with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such

 

3



 

terms and conditions as Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Agent shall have no duty to Napo to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

 

Any such sale, lease or other disposition of Collateral may be made without demand for performance or any notice of advertisement whatsoever except that where an applicable statute requires reasonable notice of sale or other disposition, Napo agrees that the sending of ten (10) days’ notice to Napo of the place and time of any public sale or of the time at which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made, shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Collateral may be materially diminished in value during such ten-day period, Agent shall provide Napo with such shorter notice as it deems reasonable under the circumstances.

 

The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like, and to the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Agent, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations (in any order as Agent may decide in its sole discretion), and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law.  If, upon the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Agent is legally entitled, Napo will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate prescribed in the agreements giving rise to the Obligations, and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by Agent to collect such deficiency.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Napo waive all claims, damages and demands against Agent arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral.

 

Section 4                                   POWER OF ATTORNEY.

 

Napo hereby appoints Agent, its attorney-in-fact to prepare, sign and file or record, for Napo in Napo’s name, any financing statements, applications for registration and like papers and to take any other action reasonably deemed by Agent necessary in order to perfect the security interest of the Agent hereunder and to dispose of any Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, at Napo’s expense, but without obligation to do so.

 

Section 5                                   APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF THE AGENT.

 

5.1                            Appointment of Agent.  Subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 5.2 and 5.3 below, each Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Security Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Security Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, in each case, so long as such actions have been requested by the Required Purchasers.

 

5.2                            Exercise of Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent shall send a request to the Purchasers seeking an instruction with respect to any action and/or the exercise of any remedy under Section 3 of this Security Agreement.  The Agent shall then take only such actions and exercise only such remedies as are specifically directed in one or more written instructions delivered to the Agent and signed by the Required Purchasers.  

 

4



 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Agent shall determine in good faith that taking the actions specified in any such written instruction is contrary to law, it may refrain (and shall be fully protected in so refraining) from taking such action and shall immediately give notice of such fact to each of the Purchasers.

 

5.3                            Waiver of Remedies; Release of Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent shall not waive any remedy or release any Collateral under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent and instruction of the Required Purchasers.

 

Section 6                                   MISCELLANEOUS.

 

6.1                            Amendments; Waivers.  No delay on the part of Agent in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Agent of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Security Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by Agent, the Required Purchasers and Napo, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, parties that hold Notes shall be entitled to join this Security Agreement upon execution of a counterpart signature page to this Security Agreement, and upon such execution such parties shall be deemed to be “Purchasers” for all purposes hereof.

 

6.2                            Other Security.  To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder.

 

6.3                            Rights Cumulative.  Any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  All of Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.

 

6.4                            Limitation on Agent’s Duty in Respect of Collateral.  Agent shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.

 

6.5                            FORUM SELECTION AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  THE PURCHASERS, AGENT AND NAPO AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS TO ENFORCE THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND ALL DISPUTES AMONG OR BETWEEN THEM ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG OR BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER

 

5



 

TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AND WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY A COURT LOCATED IN NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DELAWARE, AND NAPO, AGENT AND THE PURCHASERS HEREBY CONSENT AND SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT.

 

6.6                            WAIVERS OF NAPO, AGENT AND THE PURCHASERS. NAPO, AGENT AND THE PURCHASERS HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON THEM AND CONSENT THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO NAPO AT THEIR ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.13 OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR TO AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.13 OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF. NAPO, AGENT AND THE PURCHASERS HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE IN NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DELAWARE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION TO ENFORCE THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. NAPO, AGENT AND THE PURCHASERS AGREE THAT NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DELAWARE IS A REASONABLY CONVENIENT FORUM TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN NAPO AND THE PURCHASERS. NAPO, AGENT AND THE PURCHASERS EACH REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.  NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 6.6 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF NAPO, AGENT OR THE PURCHASERS TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

6.7                            Successors.  This Security Agreement shall be binding upon the Purchasers, Agent and Napo and their respective legal representatives and successors.  All references herein to Napo shall be deemed to include any successors, whether immediate or remote.

 

6.8                            Binding Effect.  This Security Agreement shall become effective upon execution by Napo.  If this Security Agreement is not dated or contains any blanks when executed by Napo, Agent is hereby authorized, without notice to Napo, to date this Security Agreement as of the date when it was executed by Napo, and to complete any such blanks according to the terms upon which this Security Agreement is executed.

 

6.9                            Governing Law.  This Security Agreement shall be delivered and accepted in and shall be deemed to be a contract made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of

 

6



 

Delaware (but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks) applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

 

6.10                    Enforceability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by, unenforceable or invalid under any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be severable and be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

6.11                    Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence in making payments of all amounts due Agent under this Security Agreement and in the performance and observance by Napo of each covenant, agreement, provision and term of this Security Agreement.

 

6.12                    Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.  This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Security Agreement.  Receipt of an executed signature page to this Security Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute effective delivery thereof.

 

6.13                    Notices.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Napo waives all notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights hereunder.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and addressed as follows:
