15 |
SECTION 3.06. Reduced Return. If the Lender shall have determined that any change after the Effective Date in any applicable law, regulation, rule or regulatory requirement (“Requirement”) regarding capital adequacy or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender or the Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or its holding company’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment, Loans and obligations hereunder (and which has not been taken into account in computing the Applicable Reserve Requirement) to a level below that which would have been achieved but for the Applicable Reserve Requirement or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material (which amount shall be determined by the Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such reductions resulting from such events), then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after demand (accompanied by a statement in reasonable detail) by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction, provided that for all purposes (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. The determination of such amount by the Lender shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 3.07. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that the Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR applicable pursuant to Section 2.03 for any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan that will result from a requested LIBOR Loan or that such rate of interest does not adequately cover the cost of funding of such Loan, the Lender shall forthwith give notice of such determination to the Borrower not later than 4:00 P.M., New York time, on the requested Borrowing date or the last day of an Interest Period of a Loan which was to have been continued as a LIBOR Loan. If such notice is given and has not been withdrawn, (a) any requested LIBOR Loan shall be made as an Other Loan, or, at the Borrower’s option, such Loan shall not be made, and (b) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current interest Period with respect thereto, to an Other Loan. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Lender, no further Loans shall be made. The Lender will review the circumstances affecting the London interbank market from time to time and the Lender will withdraw such notice at such time as it shall determine that the circumstances giving rise to said notice no longer exist.
SECTION 3.08. Requirements of Law. Except with respect to Excluded Taxes, in the event that any law, regulation or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality:
(a) does or shall subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Loan made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of principal, commitment fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Lender);
16 |
(b) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, assessment rate, special deposit, compulsory loan or other requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended with respect to any Loan Document or any Loan by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR at the last Borrowing or continuation date of a Loan;
(c) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or other requirement against the Commitment to extend credit; or
(d) does or shall impose on the Lender any other condition with respect to any Loan Document or Loan;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Commitment or the LIBOR Loans or to reduce any amount receivable thereunder (which increase or reduction shall be determined by the Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases or reduced amounts receivable resulting from such events), then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, within ten (10) Business Days of its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by the Lender with respect to this Agreement. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08, it shall notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A statement incorporating the calculation as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 3.09 Taxes
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present and future taxes, levies, imports, duties, withholding or deductions of any nature, provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any such taxes (except for Excluded Taxes) from such payments, then, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.09) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, except for Excluded Taxes, the Borrower shall pay all present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. Except for Excluded Taxes, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imports, duties, withholding or deductions of any nature paid by the Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including any such taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.09) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
17 |
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of any taxes, levies, imports, duties, withholding or deductions of any nature by the Borrower to a governmental authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.
(e) Refunds. If the Lender determines that it has received a refund of any taxes, levies, imports, duties, withholding or deductions of any nature as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.09, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnification payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.09 with respect to such taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This Section 3.09 shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

The Loan Parties hereby grant to the Lender a security interest in all deposits and accounts maintained with the Lender. The rights of the Lender under this Section 8.03 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lender may have.
SECTION 8.04. No Waiver; Remedies.

SECTION 8.08. Limitation on Payments. The parties hereto intend to conform to all applicable laws limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by the Lender from the Borrower. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Borrower shall not be required to make any payment to or for the account of the Lender, and the Lender shall refund any payment made by the Borrower, to the extent that such requirement or such failure to refund would violate or conflict with mandatory and nonwaivable provisions of applicable Law limiting the maximum amount of interest which may be charged or collected by the Lender from the Borrower. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in any action, suit or proceeding pertaining to this Agreement, the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, shall be on the Borrower to demonstrate that this Section 8.08 applies to limit any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or to require the Lender to make any refund, or claiming that this Agreement conflicts with any applicable law limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by the Lender from the Borrower, as to each element of such claim.

Each Loan Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue to the extent any proceeding is brought in accordance with this Section 8.13. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
SECTION 8.14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement with all Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding by and among the parties hereto and thereto relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
SECTION 8.15. Separability of Provisions; Headings.

Such appointment shall be irrevocable until the final payment of all Obligations, except that if for any reason the Process Agent appointed hereby ceases to be able to act as such, then each Loan Party shall, by an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, appoint another Person in the Borough of Manhattan as such Process Agent subject to the approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Lender. Each Loan Party covenants and agrees that it shall take any and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue the designation of the Process Agent pursuant to this Section 8.17 in full force and effect and to cause the Process Agent to act as such. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 8.18 Patriot Act. The Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with such Act.
SECTION 8.19 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars and payment in New York, New York, is of the essence, and the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Lender (the “Entitled Person”) to make payment in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency or in another place except to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency the Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase, and transfer to New York, New York, Dollars in the amount originally due to the Entitled Person with the Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in Dollars into another currency (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Lender could purchase such Dollars at New York, New York, with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. Each Loan Party hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Entitled Person against, and to pay the Entitled Person on demand, in Dollars, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to the Entitled Person in Dollars hereunder exceeds the amount of the Dollars purchased and transferred as aforesaid.

Except as specified otherwise herein all certificates, reports, notices and other documents and communications given or delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including any modifications or supplements hereto or thereto) shall be in the English language, or accompanied by an English translation.
SECTION 8.21 De-Registration under the Securities Exchange Act: Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose an obligation on any Loan Party to maintain its registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any such Loan Party’s de-registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall not be a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall any such de-registration be deemed to constitute a Material Adverse Effect or an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.

(c) Grantor shall maintain the Property in good condition and promptly repair any damage or casualty (subject to the terms of this Deed of Trust).
(d) Upon reasonable prior notice (except during the existence of an Event of Default, when no prior notice shall be required), Grantor shall provide Lender and its agents, representatives and contractors with access to the Property from time to time (subject to the rights of Tenants and during normal business hours and, provided no Event of Default exists, with reasonable prior notice) for the purposes of conducting appraisals, engineering inspections and environmental assessments of the Property and examining and copying the books and records relating to any Property.

Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of such expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is not in default under this Deed of Trust. Any proceeds in excess of $500,000 which have not been disbursed within 180 days after their receipt and which Lender has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any amount owing to Lender under this Deed of Trust, then to pay accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the indebtedness under the Note. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the indebtedness under the Note, such proceeds shall be paid to Grantor as Grantor’s interests may appear.

At any such sale (i) whether made under the power herein contained, the UCC, any other legal requirement or by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, it shall not be necessary for Trustee to be physically present at or to have constructive possession of the Collateral (Grantor shall deliver to Trustee any portion of the Collateral not actually or constructively possessed by Trustee immediately upon demand by Trustee), and the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof as completely as if Trustee had been actually present and delivered to purchaser at such sale, (ii) each instrument of conveyance executed by Trustee shall contain a general warranty of title binding upon Grantor, (iii) each recital contained in any instrument of conveyance made by Trustee shall conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters recited therein, including nonpayment of the Secured Obligations, advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein and otherwise by law, and appointment of any successor Trustee hereunder, (iv) any prerequisites to the validity of such sale shall be conclusively presumed to have been performed, (v) the receipt of Trustee or other party making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers for its or their purchase money and no such purchaser or purchasers, or its or their assigns or personal representatives, shall thereafter be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof, and (vi) to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor, and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor. Beneficiary may be a purchaser at such sale and if Beneficiary is the highest bidder, may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Beneficiary against the Secured Obligations in lieu of paying cash.

(e) Receiver. Make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Collateral for the repayment of the Secured Obligations, the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Collateral upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7.
(f) Other. Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity (including an action for specific performance of any covenant contained in the Loan Documents, or, to the extent permitted by law, a judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceeding to enforce this Deed of Trust).

No action by Beneficiary or Trustee in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses hereunder, under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby waives and releases all procedural errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Trustee or Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Note, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Collateral from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of Beneficiary’s or, as applicable, Trustee’s election to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets.
Section 4.6. Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Collateral and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Beneficiary thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.
Section 4.7. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, operating, insuring, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Collateral, shall be applied by Beneficiary or Trustee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless otherwise required by applicable law:

All occupants of the Collateral shall, at the option of such purchaser, become tenants of the purchaser at the sale and shall deliver possession thereof immediately to the purchaser upon demand. It shall not be necessary for the purchaser at said sale to bring any action for possession of the Collateral other than the statutory action of forcible detainer in any court having jurisdiction over the Collateral.
Section 4.9. Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement.
(a) If Grantor shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents and such failure constitutes an Event of Default, then without notice to or demand upon Grantor or any other Person, and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Beneficiary may have because of such Event of Default, Beneficiary may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Grantor, provided that any such action by or on behalf of Beneficiary of such non-performance or breach shall not be deemed to cure any such Event of Default. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary under this Section 4.9, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law, shall be payable upon demand by Lender, and shall bear interest if not paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor computed at the rate of Default Interest, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.

The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 4.05 by the Secured Party shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by the Grantor in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (ii).
(c) Chattel Paper. The Grantor will (i) deliver to the Secured Party each original of each item of Chattel Paper at any time constituting part of the Collateral, and (ii) cause each such original and each copy thereof to bear a conspicuous legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, indicating that such Chattel Paper is subject to the security interest granted hereby and that purchase of such Chattel Paper by a Person other than the Secured Party without the consent of the Secured Party would violate the rights of the Secured Party.
4.05 Remedies.
(a) Rights and Remedies Generally upon Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the NYUCC (whether or not the NYUCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Secured Party were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Grantor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right); and without limiting the foregoing:
(i) the Secured Party in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or other property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
(ii) the Secured Party may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;
(iii) the Secured Party may require the Grantor to notify (and the Grantor hereby authorizes the Secured Party so to notify) each account debtor in respect of any Account, Chattel Paper or General Intangible, and each obligor on any Instrument, constituting part of the Collateral that such Collateral has been assigned to the Secured Party hereunder, and to instruct that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral shall be made directly to the Secured Party or as it may direct (and if any such payments, or any other Proceeds of Collateral, are received by the Grantor they shall be held in trust by the Grantor for the benefit of the Secured Party and as promptly as possible remitted or delivered to the Secured Party for application as provided herein);
- 46 - Security Agreement |
(iv) the Secured Party may require the Grantor to assemble the Collateral at such place or places, reasonably convenient to the Secured Party and the Grantor, as the Secured Party may direct;
(v) the Secured Party may apply the Accounts and any money or other property therein to payment of the Secured Obligations;
(vi) the Secured Party may require the Grantor to cause the Pledged Shares to be transferred of record into the name of the Secured Party or its nominee (and the Secured Party agrees that if any of such Pledged Shares is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, the Secured Party will thereafter promptly give to the Grantor copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to such Pledged Shares); and
(vii) the Secured Party may sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places as the Secured Party deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Grantor, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. In the event of any sale, assignment, or other disposition of any of the Trademark Collateral, the goodwill connected with and symbolized by the Trademark Collateral subject to such disposition shall be included. The Secured Party 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 the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.
The Proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.05, including by virtue of the exercise of any license granted to the Secured Party in Section 4.04(b), shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.09.
(b) Certain Securities Act Limitations. The Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Secured Party than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Secured Party shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.
- 47 - Security Agreement |
(c) Notice. The Grantor agrees that to the extent the Secured Party is required by applicable law to give reasonable prior notice of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, ten business days’ notice shall be deemed to constitute reasonable prior notice.
4.06 Deficiency. If the proceeds of any sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.05 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
4.07 Locations; Names, Etc. Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Secured Party, the Grantor shall not (a) change its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the NYUCC), (b) change its name from the name shown as its current legal name on Annex 1 or (c) agree to or authorize any modification of the terms of any item of Collateral that would result in a change thereof from one Uniform Commercial Code category to another such category (such as from a General Intangible to Investment Property), if the effect thereof would be to result in a loss of perfection of, or diminution of priority for, the security interests created hereunder in such item of Collateral, or the loss of control (within the meaning of Section 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of the NYUCC) over such item of Collateral.
4.08 Private Sale. The Secured Party shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 4.05 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
4.09 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided and except as provided below in this Section 4.09, the Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Secured Party under this Section 4, shall be applied by the Secured Party:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Secured Party and the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Secured Party in connection therewith;
Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (or, in the case of any Contingent Obligations, to the provision of cash collateral as provided below), in such order as the Secured Party shall in its sole discretion determine; and
Finally, to the payment to the Grantor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
For purposes hereof, whenever this Agreement contemplates that cash collateral shall be provided for Contingent Obligations, such cash collateral shall be effected by the payment to the Secured Party of any amount to be held by the Secured Party as collateral security for the payment of such Contingent Obligations as and when they become due and payable.
- 48 - Security Agreement |
4.10 Attorney-in-Fact. The Secured Party is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4 and, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, taking any action and executing any instruments that the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Secured Party shall be entitled under this Section 4 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Secured Party shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of Grantor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
4.11 Perfection and Recordation. The Grantor authorizes the Secured Party to file financing statements describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property and fixtures” of the Grantor.
4.12 Termination. When all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and all Commitments under the Credit Agreement have expired or been terminated, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Secured Party shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the Grantor and to be released and canceled all licenses and rights referred to in Section 4.04(b). The Secured Party shall also, at the expense of the Grantor, execute and deliver to the Grantor upon such termination such termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Grantor to effect the termination and release of the liens on the Collateral as required by this Section 4.12.
4.13 Further Assurances. The Grantor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the Secured Party, the Grantor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Secured Party may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement. The Secured Party shall release any Lien covering any asset that has been disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
5.01 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and demands hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement.
5.02 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
5.03 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by the Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party and the Grantor and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
- 49 - Security Agreement |
5.04 Costs and Expenses. The Grantor hereby agrees to pay on demand (i) all reasonable costs and expenses of the Secured Party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including fees and costs of any applicable local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction)) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) all costs and expenses of the Secured Party (including attorneys’ fees and costs (including fees and costs of any applicable local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction)) in connection with any amendments, modifications, or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, enforcement (including, without limitation, in appellate, bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium or other similar proceedings) or restructuring of the Loan Documents (including any amendment, modification or waiver with respect thereto), and all such costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs (including fees and costs of any applicable local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction)) shall be Secured Obligations entitled to the benefits of the collateral security provided pursuant to Section 3. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Secured Obligations.
5.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Grantor and the Secured Party, provided that the Grantor shall not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.
5.06 Execution in Counterparts; Etc. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
5.07 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a) Effectiveness; Binding Effect; Governing Law.

[FORM OF]
SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT dated as of [__], 2014, among Cadista Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), [______]1, a [______]2 (the “Subordinating Party”), and ICICI Bank Limited, New York Branch (the “Lender”).
The Borrower and the Lender are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of November 12, 2014 (as supplemented, modified, amended, amended and restated or replaced in writing from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit to be made by the Lender to the Borrower.
To induce the Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend credit thereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Subordinating Party has agreed to subordinate the Subordinated Debt (as defined below) to the Senior Debt (as defined below) all in the manner and to the extent hereinafter provided. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. In addition, as used herein:
“Senior Debt” shall mean all Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any deferrals, renewals, extensions or refinancings thereof. The term “Senior Debt” shall include any interest and any expenses accruing or arising after the date of any filing by the Borrower of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings with respect to the Borrower, whether or not such interest or expenses are allowable as a claim in any such proceeding.
“Subordinated Debt” shall mean all Debt of any type of the Borrower to the Subordinating Party whether now existing or hereafter arising.
Section 2. Subordination.
2.01 Subordination of Subordinated Debt. The Subordinating Party hereby covenants and agrees that the Subordinated Debt and the payment from whatever source of the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Subordinated Debt, are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt and in that connection hereby agree that, except and to the extent permitted under Section 2.03 hereof, (a) no payment on account of the Subordinated Debt or any judgment with respect thereto shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower and (b) the Subordinating Party shall not (i) ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive from the Borrower, by set-off or in any other manner payment on account of the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) seek any other remedy allowed at law or in equity against the Borrower for breach of the Borrower’s obligations under the instruments representing such Subordinated Debt (each of the actions described in clause (b), an “Enforcement Action”).
1 Entity name.
2 Entity type and jurisdiction.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01, the Subordinating Party shall have received any payment not permitted by the provisions of Section 2.03 hereof, including, without limitation, any such payment arising out of the exercise by the Subordinating Party of a right of set-off or counterclaim and any such payment received by reason of other indebtedness of the Borrower being subordinated to the Subordinated Debt, then, and in any such event, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over or delivered to, the Lender for application to any Senior Debt remaining unpaid, whether or not then due and payable.
2.02 Payment of Proceeds Upon Dissolution. In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Borrower or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Borrower, then and in any such event:
(1) the Lender shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt, or provision shall be made for such payment, before the Subordinating Party shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of principal of, or interest or premium (if any) on, the Subordinated Debt;
(2) any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, by set-off or otherwise, to which the Subordinating Party would be entitled but for the provisions of this Agreement, including any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Borrower being subordinated to the payment of the Subordinated Debt, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the Lender to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Lender;
(3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02, the Subordinating Party shall have received, before all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash or payment thereof provided for, any such payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution arising out of the exercise by the Subordinating Party of a right of set-off or counterclaim and any such payment or distribution received by reason of any other indebtedness of the Borrower being subordinated to the Subordinated Debt, then, and in such event, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over or delivered to, the Lender to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Lender; and
(4) if the Subordinating Party shall have failed to file claims or proofs of claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt earlier than 30 days prior to the deadline for any such filing, the Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to vote and file proofs of claim and otherwise to act with respect to the Subordinated Debt as the Lender may deem appropriate in its reasonable discretion.
2.03 Certain Payments Permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein the Subordinating Party shall be entitled to receive and retain any payment in respect of Subordinated Debt and to undertake or prosecute any Enforcement Action (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full and all Commitments shall have expired or been terminated.
2.04 Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt, the Subordinating Party shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Borrower that by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Debt of the Borrower to the same extent as the Subordinated Debt is subordinated and that is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the Lender to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full in cash. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the Lender of any cash, property or securities to which the Subordinating Party would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 2, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2 to the Lender by the Subordinating Party, shall, as between the Subordinating Party, its creditors other than the Lender, and the Borrower, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Borrower to or on account of the Senior Debt.
2.05 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Section 2 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinating Party and the Lender. Nothing contained in this Section 2 or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended to or shall:
(a) impair the obligation of the Borrower to pay to the Subordinating Party the principal and of and interest on the Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms; or
(b) affect the relative rights against the Borrower of the Subordinating Party and creditors of the Borrower other than the Lender.
2.06 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. No right of the Lender to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by the Lender, or by any non-compliance by the Borrower with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof the Lender may have or be otherwise charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Subordinating Party, without incurring responsibility to the Subordinating Party and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Section 2 or the obligations hereunder of the Subordinating Party to the holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the time, manner or place of payment of Senior Debt, or otherwise modify or supplement in any respect any of the provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Senior Debt; (b) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Debt; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower and any other Person.
