(a) Contractor fails or refuses to perform or observe any term, covenant or condition contained in any of the following Sections of this Agreement:

In the event such delay continues for six (6) weeks or more, Customer may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect upon given Supplier written notice.

UCC Remedies (a) Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, Agent, in addition to all other rights, options, and remedies granted to Agent under this Agreement or at law or in equity, may exercise, either directly or through one or more assignees or designees, all rights and remedies granted to it under all Financing Documents and under the UCC in effect in the applicable jurisdiction(s) and under any other applicable law; including, without limitation:
(i) the right to take possession of, send notices regarding, and collect directly the Collateral, with or without judicial process;
(ii) the right to (by its own means or with judicial assistance) enter any of Borrowers’ premises and take possession of the Collateral, or render it unusable, or to render it usable or saleable, or dispose of the Collateral on such premises in compliance with subsection (iii) below and to take possession of Borrowers’ original books and records, to obtain access to Borrowers’ data processing equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and to use all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner Agent deems appropriate, without any liability for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums, and Borrowers shall not resist or interfere with such action (if Borrowers’ books and records are prepared or maintained by an accounting service, contractor or other third party agent, Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize such service, contractor or other agent, upon notice by Agent to such Person that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to deliver to Agent or its designees such books and records, and to follow Agent’s instructions with respect to further services to be rendered);
(iii) the right to require Borrowers at Borrowers’ expense to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to Agent at any place designated by Lender;
(iv) the right to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrowers’ mail to an address designated by Agent and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Borrower; and/or
(v) the right to enforce Borrowers’ rights against Account Debtors and other obligors, including, without limitation, (i) the right to collect Accounts directly in Agent’s own name (as agent for Lenders) and to charge the collection costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to Borrowers, and (ii) the right, in the name of Agent or any designee of Agent or Borrowers, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise, including, without limitation, verification of Borrowers’ compliance with applicable Laws. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process. Such verification may include contacts between Agent and applicable federal, state and local regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Borrowers’ affairs, all of which contacts Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize.
(b) Each Borrower agrees that a notice received by it at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public sale, or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Agent without prior notice to Borrowers. At any sale or disposition of Collateral, Agent may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part of the Collateral, free from any right of redemption by Borrowers, which right is hereby waived and released. Each Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrowers will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Agent may resell the Collateral and Borrowers shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations.
(c) Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, each Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Collateral, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to (i) use unadvanced funds remaining under this Agreement or which may be reserved, escrowed or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Notes, (ii) pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be Liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming Liens against the Collateral, (iii) execute all applications and certificates in the name of such Borrower and to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Collateral, and (iv) do any and every act which such Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney in this subsection (c) shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
(d) Agent and each Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, mask works, rights of use of any name, any other Intellectual Property and advertising matter, and any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Article, Borrowers’ rights under all licenses (whether as licensor or licensee) and all franchise agreements inure to Agent’s and each Lender’s benefit.
Specific Remedies (a) During any period other than a Cash Dominion Trigger Period and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Accounts in the Ordinary Course of Business.
(b) During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period:
(i) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall notify (such notice to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) its Account Debtors and parties to the Material Contracts subject to a Security Interest that such Accounts and the Material Contracts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties;
(ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall forward to the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of each week, deposit slips related to all cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment received by the Grantor during such week, and copies of such checks or any other similar items of payment, together with a statement showing the application of all payments on the Collateral during such week and a collection report with regard thereto, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(iii) the Administrative Agent may deliver such notices and instructions in accordance with control agreements covering Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) and/or Securities Accounts. In addition, whenever any Grantor shall receive any cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment relating to any Collateral (including any Proceeds of any Collateral), subject to the terms of any Permitted Liens, such Grantor agrees that it will, within one (1) Business Day of such receipt, deposit all such items of payment into the Dominion Account, and until such Grantor shall deposit such cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment in the Dominion Account, such Grantor shall hold such cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment in trust for the Secured Parties and as property of the Secured Parties, separate from the other funds of such Grantor, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to transfer or direct the transfer of the balance of each Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Deposit Account) to the Dominion Account. All such Collateral and Proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the Dominion Account as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4;
(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or distributions made in respect of any Investment Property, any Partnership/LLC Interests or any other Proceeds paid in respect of any Investment Property or any Partnership/LLC Interests, and any or all of any Investment Property that is included as Collateral or any Partnership/LLC Interests that are Pledged Capital Stock may, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property, or such Partnership/LLC Interests at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members of the relevant Issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property or such Partnership/LLC Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all Investment Property or any and all Partnership/LLC Interests issued upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate, partnership or limited liability company structure of any Issuer that is a Grantor (other than Imation) or a Pledged Foreign Subsidiary or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property or such Partnership/LLC Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of such Investment Property or any and all of such Partnership/LLC Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In furtherance thereof, each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer (i) that is a Grantor (other than Imation) or a Pledged Foreign Subsidiary with respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests of such Issuer to comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying following receipt of such notice and prior to notice that such Event of Default is no longer continuing, and (ii) except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby and solely during a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, to pay any cash dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to any Investment Property, or Partnership/LLC Interests issued by such Issuer directly to the Dominion Account or such other Controlled Depositary as the Administrative Agent may direct; and
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (but shall not be required to): (A) proceed to perform any and all obligations of the applicable Grantor under any Material Contract and exercise all rights of such Grantor thereunder as fully as such Grantor itself could, (B) do all other acts which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or proper to protect its Security Interest granted hereunder, provided such acts are not inconsistent with or in violation of the terms of any of the Credit Agreement, of the other Loan Documents or applicable Law, and (C) sell, assign or otherwise transfer any Material Contract in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law, subject, however, to the prior approval of each other party to such Material Contract, to the extent required under the Material Contract.
(iii) The Administrative Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person) of any or all Intellectual Property of each Grantor, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other Property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to exercise its rights under any such license, sub-license or right to use until such time as the Administrative Agent shall have received consent or direction from the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 8.02(d) of the Credit Agreement.
(d) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.2(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends, payments or other distributions made in respect of any Investment Property and any Partnership/LLC Interests, in each case paid in the Ordinary Course of Business to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other corporate, company and partnership rights with respect to any Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests; provided that, no vote shall be cast or other corporate, company and partnership right exercised or other action taken which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral in any material respect or which would result in a Default or Event of Default under any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Additional Remedies Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right and power to:
(a) instruct Grantor, at its own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Grantors, to make payment directly to Secured Party of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or Secured Party may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of Secured Party, and/or of the assignment to Secured Party of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to Secured Party of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such Persons obligated thereon;
(b) enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder;
(c) take possession or control of any proceeds and products of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon;
(d) extend, renew or modify for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) the Obligations or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;
(e) grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Obligations, any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or to any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;
(f) transfer the whole or any part of Capital Securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of Secured Party or Secured Party's nominee without disclosing, if Secured Party so desires, that such Capital Securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of Secured Party, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of such Capital Securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that Secured Party or such nominee makes any further transfer of such Capital Securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether Secured Party or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same;
(g) vote the Collateral;
(h) make an election with respect to the Collateral under Section 1111 of the Bankruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that any such action of Secured Party as set forth herein shall not, in any manner whatsoever, impair or affect the liability of Grantor hereunder, nor prejudice, waive, nor be construed to impair, affect, prejudice or waive Secured Party's rights and remedies at law, in equity or by statute, nor release, discharge, nor be construed to release or discharge, Grantor, any guarantor or other Person liable to Secured Party for the Obligations; and
(i) at any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Security Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any of the other Obligations, or Secured Party's rights hereunder, under the Obligations. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Secured Party may do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that Secured Party shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral other than as a result of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
Termination Remedies (a) If all conditions precedent to the obligations of Buyer set forth in Article VII, or of Seller set forth in Article VIII, (such Party that has satisfied its conditions precedent, the “Performing Party”) have been met and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated on or before the Closing Date because of the failure of Buyer or Seller to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or the breach of any representation herein by Buyer or Seller (such party that has not satisfied its conditions precedent, the “Breaching Party”) and the Performing Party has performed all of its material obligations hereunder and has not breached any representation herein, then in such event, the Performing Party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement, in which case (i) if Buyer is the Breaching Party, Seller shall retain the Deposit as liquidated damages on account of Buyer’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or Buyer’s breach of any representation under this Agreement, which remedy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Seller for Buyer’s breaches or (ii) if Seller is the Breaching Party, then Seller shall return the Deposit to Buyer in immediately available funds within three (3) calendar days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of termination. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) the Seller’s actual damages upon the event of such a termination are difficult to ascertain with any certainty, (ii) that the Deposit is a reasonable estimate of such actual damages and (iii) such liquidated damages do not constitute a penalty. Additionally, if Seller is the Breaching Party, in lieu of terminating this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right of specific performance of this Agreement.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, other than as set forth in Section 11.03(a), then Seller shall return the Deposit to Buyer in immediately available funds within three (3) calendar days after the event giving rise to such payment to Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall thereupon have the rights and obligations set forth elsewhere herein.
Provisional Remedies Although the procedures specified in this Article are the exclusive procedures for resolution of disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, either party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional equitable relief if, in its reasonable judgment, that action is necessary to avoid irreparable harm to itself or to preserve its rights under this Agreement.
Waiver; Remedies No failure on the part of Purchaser to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Guaranty preclude any other or further exercise of any other right. The remedies provided in this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or equity. In the event that Merchant fails to perform any obligation under the Agreement, Purchaser may enforce its rights under this Guaranty without first seeking to obtain performance for such default from Merchant or any other guarantor.
Special Remedies In view of the irreparable harm and damage which would undoubtedly occur to XStream as a result of a breach by the Employee of the covenants or agreements contained in this Article Four, and in view of the lack of an adequate remedy at law to protect XStream's interests, the Employee hereby covenants and agrees that XStream shall have the following additional rights and remedies in the event of a breach hereof:
(a) In addition to and not in limitation of any other rights, remedies or damages available to XStream, whether at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to a permanent injunction in order to prevent or to restrain any such breach by the Employee, or by the Employee's partners, agents, representatives, servants, employers, employees, affiliates and/or any and all persons directly or indirectly acting for or with him and the Employee hereby consents to the issuance of such a permanent injunction; and
(b) Because it is impossible to ascertain or estimate the entire or exact cost, damage or injury which XStream may sustain prior to the effective enforcement of such injunction, the Employee hereby covenants and agrees to pay over to XStream, in the event the employee violates the covenants and agreements contained in Section 4.2 hereof, the greater of:
(1) Any payment or compensation of any kind received by the Employee or by persons affiliated with or acting for or with the Employee, because of such violation before the issuance of such injunction, or
(2) The sum of Ten Thousand ($10,000.00) Dollars per violation, which sum shall be liquidated damages, and not a penalty, for the injuries suffered by XStream as a result of such violation, the Parties hereto agreeing that such liquidated damages are not intended as the exclusive remedy available to XStream for any breach of the covenants and agreements contained in this Article Four, prior to the issuance of such injunction, the Parties recognizing that the only adequate remedy to protect XStream from the injury caused by such breaches would be injunctive relief.
Default Remedies (a) If an Event of Default (other than an insolvency Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing, the Lender, by notice to the Company, may declare the Loan Amount of this Note and all accrued interest thereon to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration, such Loan Amount and accrued interest shall thereupon become due and payable immediately within five (5) business days from the Lender’s written request. In the event the Company fails to pay all outstanding Amounts within this five (5) business day period, the interest rate on the unpaid and outstanding Loan Amount of this Note shall be increased to, and this Note shall bear interest at, a monthly rate equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) or to the maximum rate permitted by law (the "Default Rate") from the expiration of the five (5) business day period until such unpaid and outstanding Loan Amount of this Note is repaid in full. If an insolvency Event of Default has occurred, the Loan Amount of this Note and accrued Interest thereon will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or any act on the part of any Lender. Such declaration of acceleration may be rescinded and past defaults may be waived by the Lender.
(b) No course of dealing or delay or failure on the part of the Lender to exercise any right under this Section shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Lender’s rights, powers and remedies. The Company will pay or reimburse the Lender, to the extent permitted by law, for all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Lender in collecting any sums due on this Note or in otherwise enforcing any of the Lender's rights hereunder.
(c) No right or remedy herein conferred upon the Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy contained herein or existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise, and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other such right or remedy contained herein and therein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
