In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall take all necessary action that is the duty of the Issuer to take pursuant to the Indenture, including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 3.10, 3.17, 5.1, 5.4, 6.9, 7.3, 8.2, 9.2, 9.3, 11.1 and 11.15 of the Indenture.
Remedies Upon Default (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall deliver each item of Collateral to the Bank on demand, and the Bank shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to any other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the NYUCC or the UCC of any jurisdiction in which the Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right, with or without legal process (to the extent permitted by law) and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass (to the extent permitted by law) to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral (and for that purpose the Bank may, so far as any Borrower can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the Collateral therefrom) and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Bank shall deem appropriate. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which such Borrower or now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
(b) Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Bank shall give to the Borrowers at least ten 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. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that ten days’ prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. Each Borrower hereby waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Bank's rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Bank following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto.
(c) Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Bank may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Bank may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Bank shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Bank may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Bank until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Bank shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, the Bank may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Borrower (all said rights being also hereby waived and released), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Bank from any Borrower as a credit against the purchase price, and the Bank may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Borrower therefor. For purposes hereof, (i) a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof, (ii) the Bank shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and (iii) the Borrower shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Bank shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Bank may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
(d) Any sale conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 shall be deemed to conform to commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610 of the NYUCC or the UCC of any other jurisdiction in which Collateral is located or any other requirement of applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, any Borrower agrees and acknowledges that, to the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Bank to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, it shall be commercially reasonable for the Bank to do any or all of the following: (i) fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Bank to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw materials or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) 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, (iii) fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral, (iv) exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrowers, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) dispose of Collateral utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) disclaim dispositions of warranties, (x) purchase (or fail to purchase) insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Bank against risk of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Bank a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xi) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Bank, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Bank in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 7 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Borrower or to impose any duties on the Bank that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or applicable law in the absence of this Section 7 and the parties hereto acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 7 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Bank would be deemed commercially reasonable in the exercise by the Bank of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Bank shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being set forth in this Section 7.
(e) For the purpose of enabling the Bank to exercise rights and remedies under this Section, each Borrower hereby grants to the Bank an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Borrower) to use, license or sub-license any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Bank may be exercised, at the option of the Bank, solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and the Obligations having become due and payable; provided that any license, sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Bank in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Borrowers notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. Any royalties and other payments received by the Bank shall be applied in accordance with Section 8. The license set forth in this Section 7(e) shall terminate without any further action by either party once the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
Conditions to Each Party’s Obligation to Effect the Closing The respective obligation of each party to effect the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver at or prior to the Effective Time of the following conditions:
Rights and Remedies Upon Default Upon occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Notes, and the Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and/or any other applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction in which any Collateral is then located). Without limitation, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and powers:
(a) The Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and the Company shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at the Company's premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Secured Party, without rent, all of the Company's respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured Party taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form.
(b) The Secured Party shall have the right to operate the business of the Company using the Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Company or right of redemption of the Company, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of the Company, which are hereby waived and released.
Remedies Upon Breach I understand that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and I consider them to be reasonable for such purpose. Any breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of such breach, the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, will be entitled to specific performance and other injunctive relief.
Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.
Prior Notice to Holder with Respect to Certain Matters With respect to the following matters, the Owner Trustee shall not take action unless at least 30 days before the taking of such action, the Owner Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholder in writing of the proposed action and the Certificateholder shall not have notified the Owner Trustee in writing prior to the 30th day after such notice is given that the Certificateholder has withheld consent or provided alternative direction:
(a) the election by the Trust to file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust (unless such amendment is required to be filed under the Statutory Trust Statute or unless such amendment would not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holder);
(b) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is required;
(c) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is not required and such amendment materially adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholder; or
(d) except pursuant to Section 12.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the amendment, change or modification of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, except to cure any ambiguity or defect or to amend or supplement any provision in a manner that would not materially adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholder. The Owner Trustee shall notify the Certificateholder in writing of any appointment of a successor Note Registrar or Trust Collateral Agent within five Business Days after receipt of notice thereof.
