6

 

(a)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and as fully and completely as though the Investor were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Company's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Investor deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Investor's security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all no less fully and effectively as the Company might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state or local agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, (ii) upon written notice to the Company, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if the Investor so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and

(b)           to the extent that the Company's authorization given in §3 is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without the Company's signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Investor may deem appropriate and to execute in the Company's name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require the Company's signature.

(c)           In the event that any other security interest or lien attaches to the Collateral, other than the security interest to the Investor, the Company hereby grants to Investor a power of attorney to, in the name of the Company, request and to enforce any right of the Company to obtain accountings and information from such other secured party or lienor relating to the obligations secured and collateral securing such security interest or lien, which power, being coupled with an interest, shall not be revocable by the Company.  The Company agrees to pay or reimburse Investor upon demand for any charges resulting from such requests for information.

14.2.        Ratification by Company.  To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof absent bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 
7

 

14.3.        No Duty on Investor.  The powers conferred on the Investor hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  The Investor shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Company for any act or failure to act, except for the Investor's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.           Rights and Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Investor, without any other notice to or demand upon the Company, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and of such jurisdiction and any additional rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Investor may, so far as the Company can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom.  The Investor may in its discretion require the Company to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Company's principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Investor may reasonably designate.  Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Investor shall give to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made.  The Company hereby acknowledges that five (5) Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice.  In addition, the Company waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Investor’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.

16.           Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies.  To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Investor to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Investor (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Investor to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Company, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Investor against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Investor a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Investor, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Investor in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  The Company acknowledges that the purpose of this §16 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Investor would fulfill the Investor's duties under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Investor's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Investor shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this §16.  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this §16 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Company or to impose any duties on the Investor that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this §16.

17.           No Waiver by Investor, etc.  The Investor shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights and remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Investor.  No delay or omission on the part of the Investor in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy.  A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.  All rights and remedies of the Investor with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Investor deems expedient.

18.           Suretyship Waivers by Company.  The Company waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description.  With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, the Company assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Investor may deem advisable.  The Investor shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in §11.2.  The Company further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

 
9

 

19.           Marshalling.  The Investor shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, the Company hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Investor's rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Company hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

20.           Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses.  The Company shall pay to the Investor on demand amounts equal to any and all expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Investor in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Investor's rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral.  After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as the Investor may determine or in such order or preference as is provided in the Purchase Agreement, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due.  Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, any excess shall be returned to the Company.  In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, the Company shall remain liable for any deficiency.

21.           Overdue Amounts.  Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the Company hereunder including under Section 11.1 shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment, interest if an event of default exists and is continuing at the default rate of interest set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

22.           Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.  THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO TAKE EFFECT AS A SEALED INSTRUMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE.  The Company agrees that any action or claim arising out of any dispute in connection with this Agreement, any rights or obligations hereunder or the performance or enforcement of such rights or obligations may be brought in the courts of the State or any federal court sitting therein and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court and to service of process in any such suit being made upon the Company by mail at the address specified in the Purchase Agreement.  The Company hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.

23.           Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE COMPANY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS.  Except as prohibited by law, the Company waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages.  The Company (i) certifies that neither the Investor nor any representative, agent or attorney of the Investor has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Investor would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers or other waivers contained in this Agreement and (ii) acknowledges that, in entering into the Purchase Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which the Investor is a party, the Investor is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained in this §23.
