7.     Remedies Upon Occurrence of Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, the Lender may declare all of the Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable and shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Kentucky UCC and in any state where any of the Collateral may then be located, including without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral and, in addition thereto, the right to enter upon any premises upon which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom. The Lender may require each and every Borrower to make the Collateral (to the extent the same is movable) available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both the Lender and such Borrower. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline rapidly in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Lender will give the Borrowers at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Any such notice shall be deemed to meet any requirement hereunder or under any applicable law, including without limitation the Kentucky UCC, that reasonable notification be given of the time and place of such sale or other disposition. After deducting all costs and expenses of collection, storage, custody, sale or other disposition and delivery, including reasonable legal costs and attorneys’ fees and all other charges against the Collateral, the residue of the proceeds of any such sale or disposition shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order of priority as the Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, and any surplus shall be returned to the Borrowers or to any person or party lawfully entitled thereto (including, if applicable, any subordinated creditors of the Borrowers). In the event the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder are insufficient to pay all of the Secured Obligations in full, the Borrowers will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in the Loan Instruments as applicable to overdue principal and interest thereunder, and the costs and expenses of collection of such deficiency, including, to the extent permitted by law, reasonable legal costs and attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements. If the Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Borrowers will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchasers thereof, received by the Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the Borrowers. In the event the purchaser of the purchased Collateral fails to pay for such Collateral, the Lender may resale the Collateral and the Borrowers shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

 

8.     Rights of Lender to Use and Operate Collateral. Upon any taking of possession of the Collateral, as provided by Section 7 hereof, the Lender may, from time to time, at the expense of the Borrowers, make all such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to any of the Collateral as the Lender may deem proper. In any such case, the Lender shall have the right to manage and control the Collateral and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights and powers of the Borrowers with respect thereto as the Lender shall deem best, including without limitation, the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the leasing and/or operation of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Lender may see fit, and the Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive all rents, issues, profits, revenues and other income of the same and every part thereof. Such rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to pay the expenses of holding and operating the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to the Collateral, and to make all payments which the Lender may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges on the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which the Lender may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Security Agreement, including without limitation, reasonable legal costs and attorneys’ fees. The remainder of such rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order of priority as the Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, and unless otherwise provided by law or by a court of competent jurisdiction, any surplus shall be returned to the Borrowers or to any person or party lawfully entitled thereto (including, if applicable, any subordinated creditors of the Borrowers). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender shall have the right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by the Lender to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in order to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and to collect all rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership, including without limitation, the compensation of the receiver, and to the payment of the Secured Obligations as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated.

9.     Collections on Collateral by the Lender. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may notify or may require the Borrowers to notify, but shall not be obligated to notify or require the Borrowers to notify, at any time and from time to time, account debtors obligated on any or all of each Borrower’s then existing or thereafter arising Collateral, including without limitation, Accounts Receivable and Intangibles, to make payment directly to the Lender, and may take possession of all proceeds of any Collateral, including without limitation, Accounts Receivable and Intangibles in the Borrower’s possession, and may take any other steps which the Lender deems necessary or advisable to collect any or all such Accounts Receivable, Intangibles or other Collateral or the proceeds thereof.

 

10.     Waivers, etc. Each Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns, hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of protest and, except as otherwise provided herein or in any other Loan Instrument, all other demands and notices in connection with this Security Agreement or the enforcement of the rights of the Lender hereunder or in connection with any of the Secured Obligations or any Collateral. Each Borrower further waives any right it may have to require the Lender to pursue any third party for any Secured Obligation. No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right granted hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right hereunder. Any waiver of any such right on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to waiver of any such right on such other future occasions. This Security Agreement and the security interest in the Collateral created hereby shall terminate when all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full to the Lender and finally discharged in full. Each Borrower’s waivers under this Section have been made voluntarily, intelligently, and knowingly and after the Borrower has been apprised and counseled by its attorney as to the nature thereof and its possible alternative rights.

 

11.     Binding Effect; Severability; Counterparts. This Security Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and the term “Lender” shall be deemed to include any other holder or holders of any of the Secured Obligations. This Security Agreement shall also bind all persons who become bound as debtors to this Security Agreement. In case a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold any provision in this Security Agreement to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be in any way affected or impaired thereby. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto or on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

 

12.     Governing Law. This Security Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

 

13.     Cumulative Rights and Remedies. All rights and remedies of the Lender as set forth in this Security Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be cumulative, and the exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of that right or remedy to the exclusion of any other right or remedy of the Lender.

 

14.     Payment of Costs and Expenses. Each Borrower will pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with (a) enforcing this Security Agreement, (b) obtaining possession of the Collateral, (c) the protection and preservation of the Collateral, (d) the collection of the Note and the other Secured Obligations, and (e) any litigation involving the Collateral, and any benefit accruing to the Lender by virtue of the provisions hereof or the rights of the Lender hereunder.

16.     Future Advances. This Security Agreement secures all future advances or loans that may be made at any time by the Lender to the Borrowers; provided, however, it is understood by the parties hereto that the Lender is under no obligation to make any advances or loans to the Borrowers except pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.
