(o)               concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, deliver to the Secured Party a certificate of the Secretary (or other appropriate officer) of each of each Debtor and of Legend and certifying as to the following (i) a true and accurate copy of the organizational resolutions of such entity authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of Note and this Agreement to which it is a party; (ii) the incumbency, names, titles and signatures of the officers of such entity authorized to execute Note and this Agreement to which it is a party; (iii) a true and accurate copy of the articles of organization (or equivalent) of such entity with all amendments thereto, certified by the appropriate governmental official of the jurisdiction of its incorporation as of a date acceptable to the Secured Party; and (iv) a true and accurate copy of the bylaws (or the equivalent), and other constituent documents of such entity.

If Debtor at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants in this Agreement, Secured Party shall have (and Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party) the right, power and authority (but not the duty) to perform or observe such agreement on behalf and in the name, place and stead of such Debtor (or, at Secured Party’s option, in its name) and to take any and all other actions Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation, the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of liens, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the indorsement of instruments); and Debtor shall thereupon pay to Secured Party upon demand (which shall include reasonable documentation of such expenses) the amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Secured Party in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Secured Party, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred at a rate equal to (a) the rate applicable to the Note, plus (b) 13.0%, and all such monies expended, costs and expenses, and interest thereon shall be part of the Obligations.

 

5.                  Insurance Claims. As additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, Debtor assigns to Secured Party any and all monies (including proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of such Debtor with respect to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any time hereafter covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining thereto. At any time whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default (or, for any such claim that is less than $25,000, upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default), Secured Party may, in Secured Party’s name or in any Debtor’s name, execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive all such monies, indorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.

6.                  Events of Default. Debtor shall be in default (each, an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement upon the happening of any one or more of the following events, circumstances or conditions, to wit: (a) an Event of Default shall occur as specified in the Note; (b) failure by Debtor to comply with or perform any provision of this Agreement on its part to be complied with or performed and such failure shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) Business Days (as such term is defined in the Note) for a non-monetary failure to perform or for fifteen (15) Business Days for a monetary failure to perform; (c) any representation or warranty made by Debtor or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in this Security Agreement or the Note, or by any of its officers in a writing furnished in connection with this Security Agreement or the Note, which are false in any material respect on the date made; or (d) subjection of the Collateral, or any part thereof, to attachment, charging order, garnishment, levy of execution or other judicial process, or if any involuntary lien or encumbrance shall be filed against any portion of the Collateral.

7.                  Remedies. Upon the happening of any Event of Default:

(a)                Secured Party’s rights with respect to the Collateral shall be those of a secured party under the UCC as now in effect or hereinafter amended. Secured Party shall also have any additional rights granted herein. If requested by Secured Party, Debtor will immediately make the Collateral available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party. Secured Party, at its option, may enter upon Debtor’s premises peaceably by Secured Party’s own means or with legal process and take possession of the Collateral (and any books, records, files, papers, information and other data pertaining thereto), or render it immobile, or dispose of the Collateral on Debtor’s premises, and Debtor agrees not to resist or interfere.

 

(b)               Any disposition of Collateral may be in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may reasonably believe are commercially reasonable. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to dispose of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given, the Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement made at the time and place fixed therefor, and such disposition may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Secured Party (i) may dispose of the Collateral in its then present condition or following such preparation and processing as the Secured Party deems commercially reasonable; (ii) shall have no duty to prepare or process the Collateral prior to sale; (iii) may disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like; and (iv) may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and none of the foregoing actions shall be deemed to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of the disposition of the Collateral.

(c)                In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the other rights, powers and remedies granted to Secured Party in this Agreement and in the Note, Debtor hereby appoints Secured Party such Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor or otherwise, from time to time and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to (i) endorse Debtor’s name on all checks, commercial paper and other instruments pertaining to the proceeds of Collateral and (ii) take any other action (including the right to collect on any Collateral) and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may reasonably believe is necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, in a manner consistent with the terms hereof. DEBTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE SATISFACTION OF ALL OBLIGATIONS.

(d)               Debtor agrees that any notice by Secured Party of the sale or disposition of the Collateral or any other intended action hereunder, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to Debtor if the notice is mailed by regular or certified mail, postage prepaid, at least fifteen (15) days before the action to Debtor’s address as specified in this Agreement or to any other address that Debtor has specified in writing to Secured Party as the address to which notices shall be given to Debtor. Debtor further agrees that Secured Party may be the purchaser of the Collateral (whether for cash or credit) at any public or private sale.

(e)                Debtor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in enforcing this Agreement, realizing upon any Collateral and collecting any Obligations, including reasonable attorney’s fees whether suit is brought or not and whether incurred in connection with collection, trial, appeal or otherwise. Each Debtor shall indemnify and hold the Secured Party harmless from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the Security Interest (including enforcement of this Agreement) or the Secured Party’s actions pursuant hereto, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any liability of any Grantor to indemnify and hold the Secured Party harmless pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be part of the Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

(f)                All of the rights, powers, remedies and privileges of Secured Party in the Event of Default, as provided under this Agreement and under applicable law, including, but not limited to, the UCC, shall be cumulative and in addition one to the other, and in addition to those rights, powers, remedies and privileges afforded Secured Party under the provisions of this Agreement or the Note, and such rights, powers, remedies and privileges may be exercised singly or concurrently on one or more occasions.

(g)               If, at any time, in the opinion of Secured Party, a receivership may be necessary to protect the Collateral, whether before or after maturity of the indebtedness hereby secured, or at any time, or after the institution of suit to collect such indebtedness or enforce this Agreement, Secured Party shall have the right to appointment, on ex parte application, and without notice to anyone, by any court having jurisdiction, of a receiver to take charge of the Collateral.

(h)               All proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be held or applied in full or in part by Secured Party to pay the Obligations in such order as Secured Party may deem appropriate. Black Diamond and Legend shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency

8.                  Relationship Among Debtors. EACH DEBTOR SHALL ONLY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SUCH LIABILITY THAT CAN BE HEREBY INCURRED WITHOUT RENDERING ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AVOIDABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW RELATING TO FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE OR FRAUDULENT TRANSFER, AND NOT FOR ANY GREATER AMOUNT. Each Debtor waives the benefit of any and all defenses and discharges available to a guarantor, surety, indorser or accommodation party dependent on its character as such. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Debtor waives presentment, demand for payment and notice of nonpayment or protest of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and agrees that such Debtor’s liability hereunder and the Security Interest shall not be affected or impaired in any way by any of the following acts and things: (i) any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, release, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, change in modification or other disposition of any of the Obligations, any evidence thereof or any collateral therefor; (ii) any acceptance or release of collateral for or guarantors of any of the Obligations; (iii) any failure, neglect, or omission to realize upon or protect any of the Obligations, to obtain, perfect, enforce or realize upon any collateral therefor or to exercise any lien upon or right of appropriation of any moneys, credits or property toward the liquidation of any of the Obligations; (iv) any application of payments or credits upon any of the Obligations; or (v) any irregularity or avoidability of the Obligations (including any avoidability of the Obligations as fraudulent transfers or fraudulent conveyances under any applicable law). Secured Party shall not be required, before exercising its rights under this Agreement, to first resort for payment of any of the Obligations to any other person or entity, its or their properties or estates, or any collateral, property, liens or other rights or remedies whatsoever. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor agrees not to exercise any right of contribution, recourse, subrogation or reimbursement available to it against any other person, entity or property, unless and until all Obligations and all other debts, liabilities and obligations owed by such Debtor to Secured Party have been paid and discharged. Each Debtor expects to derive benefits from the transactions resulting in the creation of the Obligations. Secured Party may rely conclusively on the continuing warranty, hereby made, that each Debtor continues to be benefitted by Secured Party’s extension of credit accommodations to Debtor, Secured Party shall have no duty to inquire into or confirm the receipt of any such benefits and this Agreement shall be effective and enforceable by Secured Party without regard to the receipt, nature or value of any such benefits.

 

9.              Miscellaneous.

(a)                Debtor authorizes Secured Party at Debtor’s expense to file any financing statement or other documents (including trademark and copyright security agreements) or statements relating to the Collateral (without Debtor’s signature thereon) that Secured Party deems appropriate, and Debtor appoints Secured Party as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact to (i) execute any such financing statement or documents in Debtor’s name; (ii) to perform all other acts which Secured Party deems appropriate to perfect and to continue perfection of the Security Interest; and (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral.

(b)               After any Event of Default, Secured Party may notify any party obligated to pay proceeds, of the existence of the Secured Interest and may also direct them to make payments of all proceeds to Secured Party.

(c)                No delay or omission by Secured Party in exercising any right hereunder or with respect to any Obligations shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right, and no single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude Secured Party from any other or future exercise of the right or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Secured Party may cure any Event of Default by Debtor in any reasonable manner without waiving the Event of Default so cured and without waiving any other prior or subsequent default by Debtor. All rights and remedies of Secured Party under this Agreement and under the UCC shall be deemed cumulative.

(d)               Secured Party shall have no obligation to take and Debtor shall have the sole responsibility for taking any steps to preserve rights against all prior parties to the Collateral.

(e)                The rights and benefits of Secured Party under this Agreement shall, if Secured Party agrees, inure to any party acquiring an interest in the Obligations or any part thereof.

(f)                This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by Secured Party hereunder or pursuant hereto is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or upon the appointment of any intervener or conservator of, or trustee or similar official for, the Borrower, or upon the entry of an order by a bankruptcy court avoiding the payment of such amount, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

 

(g)               Debtor hereby waives all requirements of law, if any, relating to the marshalling of assets that would be applicable in connection with the enforcement by Secured Party of its remedies hereunder, absent this waiver.

(h)               Debtor hereby acknowledges that (i) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Note; (ii) Secured Party has no fiduciary relationship to such Debtor, the relationship being solely that of debtor and creditor; and (iii) no joint venture exists between such Debtor and Secured Party.

(i)                 This Agreement shall (i) be binding upon each Debtor and its successors and assigns; and (ii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Secured Party and its successors, transferees, and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by Debtors without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other persons or entities to the extent and in the manner provided in the Note.

(j)                 The terms “Secured Party” and “Debtor” as used in this Agreement include the successors or permitted assigns of those parties, as applicable.

(k)               This Agreement may not be modified or amended nor shall any provision of it be waived except in a writing signed by Debtor and by an authorized officer of Secured Party.

(l)                 This Agreement shall be construed under the UCC and any other applicable State of Utah laws in effect from time to time.

(m)             This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(n)               The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

(o)               All sections and descriptive headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation hereof.

(p)               This Agreement is a continuing agreement that shall remain in force and effect until all of the Obligations and any extensions or renewals together with all interest thereon shall be paid in full.

(q)               JURY WAIVER. EACH DEBTOR AND THE SECURED PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(r)                 With respect to any legal action or proceeding arising under this Agreement or concerning the Collateral, Debtor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby: (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Utah; (ii) agrees that the venue of any such action or proceeding may be laid in Salt Lake County, Utah (in addition to any county in which any of the Collateral is located) and waives any claim that the same is an inconvenient forum; (iii) stipulates that service of process in any such action or proceeding shall be properly made if mailed by any form of registered or certified mail (airmail if international), postage prepaid, to the address then registered in Secured Party’s records for Debtor, and that any process so served shall be effective ten (10) Business Days after mailing; (iv) waives any right to immunity from any such action or proceeding and waives any immunity or exemption of any property, wherever located, from garnishment, levy, execution, seizure or attachment prior to or in execution of judgment, or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts; and (v) waives any right to interpose any set-off or non-compulsory counterclaim or to plead laches or any statute of limitations as a defense in any such action or proceeding, and waives all provisions and requirements of law for the benefit of Debtor now or hereafter in force. No provision of this Agreement shall limit Secured Party’s right to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any such action or proceeding in any other competent jurisdiction.

(s)                Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Agreement.

(t)                 Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(u)               All representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any other agreement between any Debtor and Secured Party shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations. Each Debtor waives notice of the acceptance of this Agreement by Secured Party.
