GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of July 3, 2019, is made between MEDLEY SMALL BUSINESS FUND, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Guarantor”) and MISHMERET TRUST COMPANY LTD., a company limited by shares and incorporated in in Israel under the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Trustee”).

 

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Deed of Trust, dated as of January 23, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Deed”) between Medly Capital Corporation, a business development company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”) and the Trustee;

 

WHEREAS, further reference is made to that certain Amendment to Deed of Trust (the “Amendment”), dated as of July 3, 2019 between the Company and the Trustee;

 

WHEREAS, the Guarantor and the Trustee have entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof. Certain capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Security Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is required by the terms of the Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Trustee to enter into the Amendment, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all of the Company’s obligations under the Deed and the Amendment (the “Obligations”), and agrees, to pay any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Trustee) incurred by the Trustee in enforcing any rights under this Agreement, the Deed and the Amendment (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to the Trustee under or in respect of the Deed and the Amendment but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantor shall not be liable for more than the Guaranteed Obligations

 

(b) The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Agreement, the Trustee, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable foreign, federal or state law. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, or similar debtor relief Laws of the United States or any similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 

B-4

 

 

Section 2. Guaranty Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Deed and the Amendment, regardless of any applicable law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Trustee with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor under or in respect of this Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of the Company under or in respect of the Deed and Amendment, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Company or whether the Company is joined in any such action or actions. This Agreement is a guaranty of payment when due, and not of collection. The liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Deed, the Amendment or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of Company under or in respect of the Deed or the Amendment, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from Deed or the Amendment, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to Collateral or otherwise;

 

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of the Company under the Deed, the Amendment or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Company;

 

B-5

 

 

(f) any failure of the Trustee to disclose to the Company any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Company now or hereafter known to the Trustee (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Trustee to disclose such information);

 

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

 

(h) any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Trustee that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any other guarantor or surety, other than irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations not yet accrued and payable and (B) any other obligation (including a guarantee) that is contingent in nature and that has not yet accrued).

 

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Trustee or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

Section 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that the Company protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person or any Collateral.

 

(b) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Agreement and acknowledges that this Agreement is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

 

(c) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Trustee that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Guarantor or other rights of the Guarantor to proceed against any the Company, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of setoff or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

 

(d) The Guarantor acknowledges that the Trustee may, without notice to or demand upon the Guarantor and without affecting the liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable Laws), and the Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, any defense to the recovery by the Trustee against the Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable Laws.

 

B-6

 

 

(e) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Trustee to disclose to the Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Company now or hereafter known by the Trustee.

Section 4. Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly satisfied in full (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations not yet accrued and payable), the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations under or in respect of this Agreement or the Deed or the Amendment, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Trustee against the Company or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the occurrence of the Designated Date (as hereinafter defined). If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations not yet accrued and payable), such amount shall be received and held in trust by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Trustee, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Deed or the Amendment, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Agreement thereafter arising. If the Guarantor shall make payment to the Trustee of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Designated Date has occurred, the Trustee will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary or reasonably requested by the Guarantor to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Designated Date” means the first date to occur where all Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations not yet accrued and payable).

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that the Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon Trustee and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the Security Agreement, and the Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from the Company on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be familiar with, the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of the Company.

 

Section 7. Covenants. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that, until the Designated Date has occurred, the Guarantor will perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and the Security Agreement on its part to be performed or observed or that the Company has agreed in the Deed and the Amendment to cause the Guarantor to perform or observe.

 

Section 8. Amendments, Guaranty Supplements, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee.

 

Section 9. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Trustee to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

Section 10. Right of Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, the Trustee is hereby authorized upon prior written notice to the Guarantor at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Trustee to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing under the this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand under this Agreement or the Deed, the Amendment or the Security Agreement and although such Guaranteed Obligations may be unmatured; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Trustee under this Section 10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Trustee may have.

 

B-8

 

 

Section 11. Subordination.

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Unless the Trustee shall otherwise agree, the Guarantor shall not demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations, other than the filing of proofs of claim or other similar requirements to preserve its rights as a creditor.

In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to the Company, the Guarantor agrees that the Trustee shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before the Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

 

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including, without limitation, the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to the Company), the Guarantor shall, if the Trustee so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Trustee and deliver such payments to the Trustee on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d) Trustee Authorization.

Section 12. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments under the Credit Agreement; Termination of Guaranty. This Agreement is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Designated Date, (b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee and its successors, transferees and permitted assigns.

The Guarantor shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Trustee. On the Designated Date, this Agreement shall terminate automatically, and from and after the Designated Date, the Trustee shall sign any agreement, letter or certification as the Guarantor shall reasonably request to further evidence such termination, all of which shall be at the Guarantor’s expense.

 

B-9

Neither the Trustee’s compliance with applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale. To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, the Obligor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on the Obligor at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Trustee may be a purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Obligor hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any such sale.

(d) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Trustee to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, the Guaranty, any other document relating to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by Law, or any delay by the Trustee in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Trustee shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by Law, neither the Trustee, nor any party acting as attorney for the Trustee, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.

Unless and until the Trustee shall have provided such notices, however, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have accepted or retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.

 

(f) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Trustee is legally entitled, the Obligor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with the costs of collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel.

7. Rights of the Trustee.

 

(a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, the Obligor hereby designates and appoints the Trustee and each of its designees or agents, as attorney- in-fact of Obligor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default:

 

(i) demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, and give discharges and releases, all as the Trustee may reasonably determine;

 

(ii) commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

 

(iii) defend, settle or compromise any action, suit or proceeding brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as the Trustee may deem reasonably appropriate;

 

(iv) receive and open mail addressed to the Obligor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to the Collateral of the Obligor on behalf of and in the name of the Obligor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral;

 

(v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services that have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;

 

(vi) adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto;

 

D-8

 

 

(vii) execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security and pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Trustee may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;

 

(viii) institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Trustee may deem appropriate;

 

(ix) sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Collateral;

(xii) receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; and

 

(xiii) do and perform all such other acts and things as the Trustee may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with the Collateral.

 

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement. The Trustee shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Trustee in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. This power of attorney is conferred on the Trustee solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.

 

(b) The Trustee’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Trustee hereunder, the Trustee shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Obligor shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Trustee shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligor. The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Trustee accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Trustee shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Trustee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, except as required by applicable Law.

9. Continuing Agreement.

 

(a) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the Trustee shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Obligor, release all of its liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Obligor evidencing such termination.

 

(b) This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Trustee, in whole or in part, as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event any such payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including any legal fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Trustee in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

11. Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Obligor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Trustee and its successors and permitted assigns.

The Obligor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms that might have been obtained at a public sale. Neither the Trustee’s compliance with applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale. To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, the Obligor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on the Obligor at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Trustee may be a purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Obligor hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any such sale. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, the Trustee may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by Law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed, or the Trustee may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.

 

E-6

 

 

(b) Deposit Accounts. On or prior to July 31, 2019, the Trustee will have a blocked account control agreement on all of the Obligor’s Deposit Accounts. The Obligor agrees that the Trustee may prevent withdrawals or other dispositions of funds in Deposit Accounts, and the Trustee agrees that it will consent to withdrawals from the Deposit Accounts for the purposes of (i) paying the Obligor’s general expenses not in excess of USD 25,000 in any twelve-month period (ii) making non-regularly scheduled redemption payments on the Notes (as described and defined in the Deed) from amounts in the Deposit Account representing full or partial principal payments or prepayments (“Principal Paydowns”) and (iii) making regularly scheduled interest and principal payments on the Notes (as described and defined in the Deed) from all amounts in the Deposit Account other than Principal Paydowns.

(d) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Trustee to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, the Guaranty, any other document relating to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by Law, or any delay by the Trustee in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Trustee shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by Law, neither the Trustee, nor any party acting as attorney for the Trustee, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The rights and remedies of the Trustee under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that the Trustee may have.

 

E-7

 

 

(e) Retention of Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, the Trustee may, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Trustee shall have provided such notices, however, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have accepted or retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.

 

(f) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Trustee is legally entitled, the Obligor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with the costs of collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel.

7.Rights of the Trustee.

 

(a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, the Obligor hereby designates and appoints the Trustee and each of its designees or agents, as attorney- in-fact of Obligor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default:

 

(i) demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, and give discharges and releases, all as the Trustee may reasonably determine;

 

(ii) commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

 

(iii) defend, settle or compromise any action, suit or proceeding brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as the Trustee may deem reasonably appropriate;

 

(iv) receive and open mail addressed to the Obligor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to the Collateral of the Obligor on behalf of and in the name of the Obligor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral;

 

(v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services that have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;

 

(vi) adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto;

 

E-8

 

 

(vii) execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security and pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Trustee may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;

 

(viii) institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Trustee may deem appropriate;

 

(ix) sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Collateral;

 

(x) pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

 

(xi) direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Trustee or as the Trustee shall direct;

 

(xii) receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; and

 

(xiii) do and perform all such other acts and things as the Trustee may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with the Collateral.

 

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement. The Trustee shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Trustee in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. This power of attorney is conferred on the Trustee solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.

 

(b) The Trustee’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Trustee hereunder, the Trustee shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Obligor shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Trustee shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligor. The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Trustee accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Trustee shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Trustee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, except as required by applicable Law.

 

E-9

 

 

8. Application of Proceeds. Upon the acceleration of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 10 of the Deed, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the Trustee or any Secured Party in Money, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations.

 

9. Continuing Agreement.

 

(a) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Designated Date (as defined in the Guaranty). On the Designated Date, this Agreement and the security interests in the Collateral created by this Agreement shall be automatically terminated, and the Trustee shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Obligor, release all of its liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Obligor evidencing such termination.

 

(b) This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Secured Obligations that is made on or prior to the Designated Date is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Trustee, in whole or in part, as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event any such payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including any legal fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Trustee in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

 

10. Amendments; Waivers; Modifications, etc. This Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated without the consent of the parties hereto.

 

11. Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Obligor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Trustee and its successors and permitted assigns.

 

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by fax transmission or e-mail transmission (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

13. Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

 

14. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER A DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED UNDER THE DEED SHALL BE GOVERNED BY ISRAELI LAW AS SET FORTH IN THE DEED. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGOR AND THE TRUSTEE CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. THE OBLIGOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.

 

E-10

 

 

15. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE GUARANTY, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 15 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY

 

16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

 

17. Entirety. This Agreement, the Deed, the Amendment, the Guaranty and the other documents relating to the Secured Obligations represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, and any contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings, if any.
