5. Removal of Collateral Prohibited. The Debtor shall not permanently remove any Collateral from its premises without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, except that the Debtor may dispose of Collateral in the ordinary course of business.
6. Debtor's Representations, Warranties and Covenants. As long as the Debtor has outstanding Obligations to a Secured Party, the Debtor hereby represents, warrants and covenants with such Secured Party that:
6.1 The Debtor is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and it will at all times take or cause to be taken all actions as may from time to time be necessary to maintain in good standing, preserve and renew its company existence and rights.
6.2 The Debtor and its officers signing this Agreement have the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and have taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any related agreements or documents. This Agreement is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Debtor, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and the Debtor's execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not conflict with or violate the Debtor's Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, or any law, regulation, order, judgment, rule or agreement to which the Debtor is a party or by which it is bound.
6.3 Except for the Permitted Liens listed on Exhibit 6.3, all of the Collateral is and shall at all times remain free and clear of any and all liens, claims or encumbrances that are senior to the lien granted by this Agreement.
6.4 Except for inventory sold in the ordinary course of business, the Debtor has and will have good and indefeasible title to, and is and will be the true owner of the Collateral.
6.5 The execution of and performance by the Debtor of all of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement do not and will not constitute, or would not constitute following any notice or lapse of time, an event of default under any agreement (including any existing loan agreement, promissory note or other loan document) to which the Debtor is now or hereafter becomes a party.
6.6 The Debtor will punctually pay or cause to be paid all payments of principal and interest to become due in respect of the Notes according to the terms thereof.
6.7 The Debtor will keep, at all times, true and complete books of account and financial records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
6.8 Within ten days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, the Debtor shall reimburse the Collateral Agent, for all sums expended by the Collateral Agent, in connection with the filing of any third-party claim as to the Collateral or any part thereof which the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or desirable, or in connection with any action brought by the Collateral Agent, to correct any default or enforce any provision of this Agreement, including reasonable hourly attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs.
6.9 The Debtor will not sell, transfer or encumber the Collateral except in the ordinary course of business.
6.10 Except in the ordinary course of business, the Debtor shall not lease or otherwise dispose of, remove, move, relocate or transfer, or permit the removal, movement, relocation or transfer, whether by sale or otherwise, any of the Collateral, and shall keep the Collateral only at its principal place of business, or at any other secured warehouse or location owned or leased by the Debtor, or such other location as shall be used from time to time by the Debtor to temporarily store the Collateral so long as the Collateral remains fully insured, unless and until the Debtor provides Secured Party, with written notice that the Collateral is being moved to such location, specifying the exact address of such location and the exact Collateral to be moved, at least 30 days prior to moving the Collateral to such location.
7. Protection of Secured Party's Security. If an Event of Default, as defined in the Notes, has occurred, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which materially adversely affects the Collateral or title thereto or the interest of the Secured Parties therein, then the Secured Parties, upon the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, may make such appearance, disburse such sums, and take such action as the Secured Parties deem necessary, in their sole discretion, to protect the Secured Parties' interest, including but not limited to (a) disbursement of reasonable hourly attorneys' fees, (b) entry upon the Debtor's property to make repairs to the Collateral, and (c) procurement of satisfactory insurance that is reasonable under the circumstances. Any amounts disbursed by the Secured Parties pursuant to this Section 7, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of the Debtor secured by this Agreement. Unless the Debtor and the Collateral Agent agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable, and if the Secured Parties notify the Debtor within five days of such disbursement, all such amounts shall bear interest from the date which is ten days following the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Notes. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require the Secured Parties to incur any expense or take any action.
8. Collateral Agent.
(a) Appointment. The Majority Noteholders may from time to time appoint a collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) to serve from the date of such appointment until the earliest of resignation, removal of the Collateral Agent by the Majority Noteholders, or termination of this Agreement. Upon ten days written notice to the Debtor, the Majority Noteholders (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) may appoint another Collateral Agent.
(b) Powers and Duties of Collateral Agent. Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, if any, to take such action and to exercise such powers hereunder as provided herein or as requested in writing by the Majority Noteholders. The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to request and act in reliance upon the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance therewith. The Collateral Agent may not, without consent of the Majority Noteholders, demand payment of the Notes or foreclose on the Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt and without in any way limiting the rights of the Collateral Agent set forth herein, the Collateral Agent may with consent of the Majority Noteholders subordinate repayment of the Notes and their security interest hereby granted to other obligations of the Debtor.
(c) Indemnity by Secured Parties. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its partners, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable or responsible to any Secured Party or to the Debtor for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent or any other such person hereunder or under any related agreement, instrument or document, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any of its partners, directors, officers, employees, or agents be liable or responsible for: (i) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency, enforceability or enforcement of the Notes, this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered hereunder or relating hereto; (ii) the title of the Debtor to any of the Collateral or the freedom of any of the Collateral from any prior or other liens or security interests; (iii) the determination, verification or enforcement of the Debtor's compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (iv) the failure by the Debtor to deliver any instrument or document required to be delivered pursuant to the terms hereof; or (v) the receipt, disbursement, waiver, extension or other handling of payments or proceeds made or received with respect to the Collateral, the servicing of the Collateral or the enforcement or the collection of any amounts owing with respect to the Collateral. In the case of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and any document relating to the Collateral, each of the Secured Parties agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, on demand, its pro rata share of all fees and all expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the operation and enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any related agreement to the extent that such fees or expenses have not been paid by the Debtor. In the case of this Agreement and each instrument and document relating to any of the Collateral, each of the Secured Parties and the Debtor hereby agrees to hold the Collateral Agent harmless, and to indemnify the Collateral Agent from and against any and all loss, damage, expense or liability which may be incurred by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any related agreement or other instrument or document, as the case may be.
9. Forbearance by Collateral Agent Not a Waiver. Any forbearance by the Collateral Agent in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of, or preclude the exercise of, any right or remedy. The acceptance by the Collateral Agent of payment of any sum secured by this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of the Secured Parties' right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. No action taken by the Collateral Agent shall waive the Secured Parties' right to accelerate the indebtedness secured by this Agreement and seek such other remedies as are provided by this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or applicable law.
10. Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement. This Agreement is intended to be a security agreement pursuant to the UCC for all of the items specified above as part of the Collateral which, under applicable law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the UCC, and the Debtor hereby grants the Collateral Agent a security interest in such items. The Debtor agrees that the Secured Parties may file any appropriate document in the appropriate jurisdiction as a financing statement for any of the Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
(as such term is defined in the Notes), the Secured Parties shall have the remedies of a “secured party” under the UCC and, at the Collateral Agent's option, may also invoke the other remedies provided in this Agreement, the Notes, or the Purchase Agreement as to such items. In exercising any of such remedies, the Secured Parties may proceed against any or all of the Collateral separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the availability of the Secured Parties remedies under the UCC or of the other remedies provided in this Agreement and/or the Purchase Agreement.
11. Events of Default. The Debtor shall be in default under this Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Notes).
12. Rights of Secured Parties.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Notes), the Collateral Agent may, at the request of the Majority Noteholders, require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at the place to be designated by the Collateral Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties. The Collateral Agent may sell all or any part of the Collateral as a whole or in parcels either by public auction, private sale, or other method of disposition pursuant to the UCC. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may bid at any public sale on all or any portion of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall give the Debtor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, and notice given at least ten days before the time of the sale or other disposition shall be conclusively presumed to be reasonable.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obli-gation to offer to sell the Collateral. In the event the Collateral Agent offers to sell the Collateral, the Collateral Agent will be under no obligation to consummate a sale of the Collateral if, in its reason-able business judgment, none of the offers received by it reasonably approximates the fair value of the Collateral.
(c) In the event the Collateral Agent elects not to sell the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may elect to follow the procedures set forth in the UCC for retaining the Collateral in satisfaction of the Debtor's obligation, subject to the Debtor's rights under such procedures.
13. Remedies Cumulative. Each remedy provided in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement is distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever.
14. Costs and Expenses. The Debtor agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses, including reasonable hourly attorneys' fees and court costs, of the Secured Parties in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement (whether suit is commenced or not).
15. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications given hereunder to any party shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument: (a) delivered in per-son, (b) sent by confirmed facsimile transmission to the number provided by the receiving party, or (c) duly sent by first class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express), addressed to such party at the address designated in writing by receiving party, as may be revised by the receiving party. All such notices and communi-cations shall be deemed to have been received (i) in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such delivery, (ii) in the case of facsimile transmission, on the date of transmission, and (iii) in the case of mailing or delivery by service, on the date of delivery as shown on the return receipt or delivery service statement.
16. Entire Agreement, Savings Clause, Assigns and Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) contain the entire understanding between and among the parties and supersede any prior understandings and agreements among them respecting the subject matter of such agreements and instruments. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such pro-vision to any person or circumstance, shall be held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement shall be
binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.
17. Amendment and Additional Parties. The Agreement may be amended only in writing signed by the Debtor and the Collateral Agent or the Majority Noteholders if a Collateral Agent has not been appointed on behalf of the holders of the Notes.
18. Attorneys' Fees. Any actions or proceedings, including arbitration, brought by either party with respect to this Agreement, the court or arbitrator in such action or proceeding shall award to the prevailing party, in addition to any other relief granted, (i) the actual attorneys' fees based on a reasonable hourly basis which the prevailing party has paid or is obligated to pay; and (ii) all costs and expenses, not merely recoverable costs, which the prevailing party has paid or is obligated to pay. The court may reduce such actual attorneys' fees, costs and expenses only to the extent that the court determines that such amounts were unnecessarily incurred or unreasonable. In addition, the parties agree that if any dispute between the parties results in a judgment in favor of either party, such party shall be entitled to recover from the other all reasonable hourly attorneys' fees and costs incurred by it in enforcing such judgment. This provision is intended to be severable from any other provision of this Agreement and is not to be deemed merged in the judgment.
19. Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original Agreement, and all of which shall constitute one Agreement to be effective as of the date of execution of this Agreement.
