Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Grantors will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, or discount or factor with or without recourse, any Collateral. Upon any permitted disposition or substitution of the Collateral, the Secured Party will at the cost and expense of the Grantors execute and deliver to the applicable Grantor(s) appropriate releases (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Grantors) of the Secured Party’s Security Interest in the related Collateral and proceeds thereof.

 

Section 6. Names, Offices, Locations, Jurisdiction of Organization. Each Grantor’s legal name (as set forth in their constituent documents filed with the appropriate governmental official or agency) is as set forth in the opening paragraph hereof. The organizational numbers of all of the Grantors are set forth on the signature page of this Agreement. The Grantors will from time to time at the reasonable request of the Secured Party (not to be made more than once per calendar year so long as there has been no Event of Default) provide the Secured Party with current good standing certificates and/or state-certified constituent documents from the appropriate governmental officials. The chief place of business and chief executive office of each Grantor are located at the address set forth on the signature page hereof. The Grantors will not locate or relocate any item of Collateral into any jurisdiction in which an additional Financing Statement would be required to be filed to maintain the Secured Party’s perfected security interest in such Collateral. The Grantors will not change their names, the locations of their respective chief places of business and chief executive offices or their corporate structures (including without limitation, their jurisdictions of organization) unless the Secured Party has been given at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof and the Grantors have executed and delivered to the Secured Party such instruments required or appropriate to continue the perfection of the Security Interest.

 

Section 7. Rights to Payment. Except as the Grantors may otherwise advise the Secured Party in writing, each Account, Receivable, Capitated Contract Right, Chattel Paper, Document, General Intangible and Instrument constituting or evidencing Collateral is, to the knowledge of the Grantors, the valid, genuine and legally enforceable obligation of the Account Debtor or other obligor named therein or in the Grantors’ records pertaining thereto as being obligated to pay or perform such obligation except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or by general principles of equity. Without the Secured Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied), the Grantors will not agree to any modifications, amendments, subordinations, cancellations or terminations of the obligations of any such Account Debtors or other obligors except in the ordinary course of business. The Grantors will perform and comply in all material respects with all their obligations under any items included in the Collateral and exercise promptly and diligently their rights thereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantors will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party: (i) mark, or permit the Secured Party to mark, conspicuously their books, records, and accounts showing or dealing with the Collateral, with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, indicating that each such item of Collateral is subject to the Security Interest granted hereby; and (ii) execute and file such Financing Statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Secured Party may request, in order to perfect, preserve, and enhance the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

Section 17. The Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the safekeeping of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to the safekeeping which the Secured Party accords its own property of like kind. Except for the safekeeping of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies and for other properties actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty, as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Persons or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Secured Party will take action in the nature of exchanges, conversions, redemptions, tenders and the like requested in writing by the Grantors with respect to the Collateral in the Secured Party’s possession if the Secured Party in its reasonable judgment determines that such action will not impair the Security Interest or the value of the Collateral, but a failure of the Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care with respect to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Persons or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

 

Section 18. Default. An event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

Section 19. Remedies on Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

19(d) The Secured Party is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, all of the Grantors’ property, including, without limitation, all of the Grantors’ labels, trademarks, copyrights, patents and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and the Grantors’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Secured Party’s benefit until the Obligations are paid in full.

 

19(e) If notice to the Grantors of any intended disposition of Collateral or any other intended action is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given in the manner specified for the giving of notice in in Section 24 hereof at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of intended disposition or other action, and the Secured Party may exercise or enforce any and all other rights or remedies available by law or agreement against the Collateral, against the Grantors, or against any other Person or property. 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.

 

Section 20. Remedies as to Payments. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (a) the Secured Party may notify any Person obligated on any Collateral that the same have been assigned or transferred to the Secured Party and that the same should be performed as requested by, or paid directly to, the Secured Party, as the case may be and the Grantors shall join in giving such notice, if the Secured Party so requests; and (b) the Secured Party may, in the Secured Party’s name or in the Grantors’ name, or the names of any of them, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such Collateral or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligation of any Person.

All cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Secured Party, be held by the Secured Party as collateral for, or then or at any time thereafter be applied in whole or in part by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any expenses of the Secured Party payable pursuant to Section 22 hereof) and the excess thereof, if any, shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor if the Secured Party has been paid in full and not otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Section 22. Costs and Expenses; Indemnity. The Grantors will jointly and severally pay or reimburse the Secured Party on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including in each case all filing and recording fees and taxes and all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and of any experts and agents) incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest and the preparation, administration, continuance, amendment or enforcement of this Agreement, and all such costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Security Interest. Any liability of the Grantors to indemnify and hold the Secured Party harmless pursuant to Section 8.12 of the Credit Agreement shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Security Interest. The Grantors’ obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 23. Waivers; Remedies; Marshalling. This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or discharged, and except as provided in Section 27 below the Security Interest can be released, only explicitly in a writing signed by the Secured Party. A waiver so signed shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any rights and remedies available to the Secured Party. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly in any order or sequence, or concurrently, at the Secured Party’s option, and the exercise or enforcement of any such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any other. The Grantors hereby waive all requirements of law, if any, relating to the marshalling of assets which would be applicable in connection with the enforcement by the Secured Party of its remedies hereunder, absent this waiver.

 

Section 24. Notices. Any notice or other communication to any party in connection with this Agreement shall be given in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8.4 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 25. Grantors’ Acknowledgment. The Grantors hereby acknowledge that (a) they have been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, (b) the Secured Party has no fiduciary relationship to the Grantors, the relationship being solely that of debtor and creditor, and (c) no joint venture exists between the Grantors and the Secured Party.

Section 26. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall (a) create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and the expiration of the obligations, if any, of the Secured Party to extend credit accommodations to the Grantors, (b) be binding upon the Grantors, their successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Secured Party and its successors, transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), the Secured Party may, as provided in and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Persons to the extent and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement and may similarly transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Security Agreement to such Persons.

 

Section 27. Termination of Security Interest. Upon payment in full of the Obligations and the expiration of any obligation of the Secured Party to extend credit accommodations to the Grantors, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate. Upon any such termination, the Secured Party will return to the Grantors such of the Collateral then in the possession of the Secured Party as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and execute and deliver to the Grantors such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Any reversion or return of Collateral upon termination of this Agreement and any instruments of transfer or termination shall be at the expense of the Grantors and shall be without warranty by, or recourse on, the Secured Party. As used in this Section, “Grantors” includes any assigns of Grantors, any Person holding a subordinate security interest in any of the Collateral or whoever else may be lawfully entitled to any part of the Collateral.

 

Section 28. Governing Law and Construction. THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE MANDATORILY GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under such applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto shall be held to be prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto.

 

Section 29. Consent to Jurisdiction. AT THE OPTION OF THE SECURED PARTY, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OR MINNESOTA STATE COURT SITTING IN HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA; AND THE GRANTORS CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS NOT

 

14


CONVENIENT. IN THE EVENT THE GRANTORS, OR ANY OF THEM, COMMENCE ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURED PARTY AT ITS OPTION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES ABOVE-DESCRIBED, OR IF SUCH TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO HAVE SUCH CASE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

 

Section 30. Waiver of Notice and Hearing. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A JUDICIAL HEARING OF ANY KIND PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY THE SECURED PARTY OF ITS RIGHTS TO POSSESSION OF THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS OR OF ITS RIGHTS TO REPLEVY, ATTACH, OR LEVY UPON THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR HEARING. EACH GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO THIS PROVISION AND THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 31. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND THE SECURED PARTY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, 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.

 

Section 32. Counterparts. 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.

 

Section 33. General. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document between the Grantors and the Secured Party shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations. The Grantors waive notice of the acceptance of this Agreement by the Secured Party. Captions in this Agreement are for reference and convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of any provision of this Agreement.
