Notwithstanding the foregoing grant of a security interest, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in the Excluded Property and the Excluded Property shall not constitute Collateral, but only to the extent, and for so long as, such assets meet the criteria set forth in the definition of Excluded Property.

Section 2.03 Preservation of Collateral. The Company will faithfully preserve and protect the Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral as a perfected security interest under the UCC, superior and prior to the rights of all third Persons, except for holders of Permitted Liens, and the Company will do all such other reasonable acts and things and will, upon reasonable written request therefor by the Buyer, execute, deliver, file and record.

 

Section 2.04 Rights Prior to an Event of Default. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may exercise any and all rights that the Company may have as to the Collateral.

 

Section 2.05 Rights Upon an Event of Default.

(ii)The Buyer shall have the right to lease, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Collateral at public or private sale or sales for cash, credit or any combination thereof, with such notice as may be required by law (it being agreed by the Company that, in the absence of any contrary requirement of law, ten (10) days’ prior notice of a public or private sale of Collateral shall be deemed reasonable notice), in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as the Buyer, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Such sales may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice.

 

(iii)The Company, at its cost and expense (including the cost and expense of any of the following referenced consents, approvals, etc.), will promptly execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers the Buyer may reasonably request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, accreditation, or authorization of any other Governmental Entity or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to Buyer, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, as of the Effective Date, as follows:

 

(a)Company is the owner of the Collateral, free from any right or claim of any Person or any adverse Lien, except for Permitted Liens.

 

(b)Upon the filing of appropriate financing statements in the appropriate filing offices and such other filings as required by law and upon taking possession of all collateral in which a security interest can only be perfected by possession, the Buyer has a valid and perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens and the applicability of the UCC), securing the payment of the Obligations, and such security interests are entitled to all of the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the UCC or other applicable law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction which relates to perfected security interests.

 

Section 3.02 Covenants of the Company. Company hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as the Buyer is owed any Obligation, unless the Buyer waives compliance in writing, the Company:

Section 3.03 Additional Covenants. The Parties covenant and agree that so long as this Agreement shall be in effect:

 

(a)Provided that an Event of Default does not exist and is continuing, then the Company may make distributions to its shareholders and other parties as it may determine, subject to any limitations thereon pursuant to applicable Law. At any time that an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Company shall not make any distributions to its shareholder or as otherwise required by Law.

 

(b)The Company shall defend the Company’s title to the Collateral and the security interest of Buyer against the claims of any person claiming rights in the Collateral.

 

(c)Without the prior written consent of the Buyer, (i) the Company shall not sell, gift, pledge, exchange or otherwise transfer the Collateral. In the event of any such sale, exchange or transfer consented to by Buyer, the Company shall upon receipt the proceeds of such sale, exchange or transfer to pay any such distribution with respect to the Collateral to the Buyer for application to the Obligations.

 

(d)The Company will pay and discharge when due all of its material obligations and liabilities (including, without limitation, tax liabilities) which if unpaid when due might by law give rise to a lien on the Collateral, except where the same may be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

 

(e)At the Company’s expense, the Company will do such further facts and execute and deliver such additional conveyances, certificates, instruments, legal opinions and other assurances as the Buyer may direct the Buyer to reasonably request to protect, assure or enforce the interests, rights and remedies of the Buyer under this Agreement.

 

Section 3.04 Filings. The Company hereby authorizes the Buyer to, at any time and from time to time, file in any one or more jurisdictions financing statements that describe the Collateral, together with continuation statements thereof and amendments thereto, without the signature of the Company and which contain any information required by the UCC or any other applicable law.

Section 3.05 Discharge of Liens; No Effect of Certain Actions. The security interests and other Liens and the obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be discharged until payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted). The security interests, and other Liens and the Obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by any failure, default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise, by Buyer, or any other obligor on any of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or which would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as a matter of law or equity.

 

Section 3.06 Release of Liens; Termination. Upon payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, and the Buyer shall thereupon promptly return to Company such of the Collateral and such other documents delivered by the Company or obtained by the Buyer hereunder as may then be in the Buyer’s possession, subject to the rights of third parties. Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

Section 3.07 Additional Waivers by Company. No failure or delay on the part of the Buyer in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Buyer hereunder; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. All waivers under this Agreement must be in writing other than as set forth herein. The rights and remedies of the Buyer under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any rights or remedies which it may otherwise have, and the Buyer may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option.

(c)Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any Party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition. No notice to or demand on a Party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that Party or impairs any right of the Party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved Party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator jointly selected by each Party who is a party to the Dispute, provided, however, that if such Parties are unable to agree on the identity of the arbitrator within 10 Business Days of commencement of efforts to do so, each Party who is a party to the Dispute shall select one arbitrator and the arbitrators so selected shall select a final arbitrator, and the final arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration alone. The Parties agree that, in connection with any such arbitration proceeding, each shall submit or file any claim which would constitute a compulsory counterclaim (as defined by Rule 13 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures) within the same proceeding as the claim to which it relates. Any such claim which is not submitted or filed in such proceeding shall be barred. The arbitrator shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to perform its services within seven days of request, and, in any case, as soon as practicable. The Parties agree to be bound by the provisions of any limitation on the period of time by which claims must be brought under Nevada law or any applicable federal law. The arbitrator(s) shall have the right to award the relief which he or she deems proper, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including compensatory damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from due date), injunctive relief, specific performance, legal damages and costs. The award and decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any right to contest the validity or enforceability of this award shall be governed exclusively by the United States Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be conducted in Cumming, Georgia. The provisions of this Section 4.08 shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.09 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.
