electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the federal

of the Trademarks and Patents are in force and, to the best knowledge of
Debtor, not in default. No holding, decision or judgment has been rendered

proceeding that is pending seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity
of any Trademark or Patent or Debtor's ownership thereof.

date, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party. Debtor also
will cause such assignment to be recorded or filed in the Copyright Office

Secured Party. In addition, all property insurance covering Collateral shall
be payable to Secured Party as its interests appear pursuant to a loss payee
clause satisfactory to Secured Party. Without limiting the foregoing, Debtor
will (i) keep all of its material physical property insured with casualty or
physical hazard insurance on an "all risks" basis, with broad form flood and
earthquake coverages and electronic data processing coverage, with a full
replacement cost endorsement and an "agreed amount" clause in an amount equal
to 100% of the full replacement cost of such property, (ii) maintain all such
workers' compensation or similar insurance as may be required by law and
(iii) maintain, in amounts and with deductibles equal to those generally
maintained by businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic
areas, (A) general public liability insurance against claims for bodily
injury, death or property damage occurring, on, in or about the properties of
Debtor and (B) business interruption insurance.
- Performance by and Responsibility of Secured Party.
- Subject to any notice and cure provisions set forth herein, if any Debtor
shall default in the payment, performance or observance of any covenant, term
or condition of this Agreement or of any contract or agreement included in
the Collateral,
12
Secured Party may, at its option and in its sole discretion, pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith (including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees), with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be immediately repaid to Secured Party by Debtors and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and be secured hereby until fully repaid. Secured Party shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid.
- Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Debtors shall remain
liable for the performance and observance of all terms and conditions to be
observed or performed by Debtors under each contract or agreement included in
the Collateral. Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability
under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this
Agreement or the receipt by Secured Party of any payment relating to any of
the Collateral, nor shall Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform
any of the obligations of any Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract
or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the
sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or
agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any
performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been
assigned to Secured Party or to which Secured Party may be entitled at any
time or times.
- Secured Party will hold all items of the Collateral at any time received
under this Agreement in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of
this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of
Secured Party as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with
respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are
only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and, to the extent not
specifically waived hereunder, as required under applicable law. Secured
Party's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation
of Collateral in its possession or under its control, under S.9-207 of the UCC
or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as
Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account. Secured Party
shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with
respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other
matters relative to any Collateral, regardless of whether Secured Party has
or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any actions to
preserve rights against any third party with respect to any Collateral.
- Subject to any notice and cure provisions set forth herein, if any Debtor
shall default in the payment, performance or observance of any covenant, term
or condition of this Agreement or of any contract or agreement included in
the Collateral,
- Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Debtors, at the request
of Secured Party, shall notify account debtors and other persons obligated on
any of the Collateral of the security interest of Secured Party in any
account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and
that payments in respect thereof are to be made directly to Secured Party or
to any financial institution designated by Secured Party as Secured Party's
agent therefor, and Secured Party may itself, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, without notice to or demand upon any Debtor, so
notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the
making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, Debtors shall
hold any
13
proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Debtors as trustee for Secured Party without commingling the same with other funds of Debtors and shall turn the same over to Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments, for deposit in a special bank account maintained with Secured Party over which Secured Party alone has power of withdrawal. In addition, at any time upon request by Secured Party, Debtors will immediately notify all account debtors and other persons obligated in respect of Collateral to direct payments to Secured Party or to a lockbox in accordance with a lockbox service agreement to be entered into between Debtors and Secured Party. The funds in the aforesaid special account and any funds collected by Secured Party under a lockbox service agreement shall be held by Secured Party as additional security for the Obligations. Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Secured Party to the Obligations, such proceeds to be applied promptly after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.
- Deposit Accounts, Promissory Notes, Investment Property and General
Intangibles.
- If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party at
its option may (a) demand, xxx for, collect or make any settlement or
compromise that it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral, and
(b) transfer to itself or any nominee any promissory notes or investment
property constituting Collateral, receive any amounts payable or
distributable in respect thereof and hold the same as additional Collateral
or apply the same to the Obligations.
- Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:
- Debtors shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising the
voting rights attributable to any investment property constituting
Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
- Secured Party will execute and deliver any proxies or other instruments
reasonably requested by a Debtor for the purpose of enabling such Debtor to
exercise the voting rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
subparagraph 10(b)(1).
- Debtors shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising the
voting rights attributable to any investment property constituting
Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
- Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of
Debtors to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting rights attributable
to investment property constituting Collateral or any part thereof pursuant
to subparagraph 10(b)(1) or otherwise shall cease, and Secured Party
and its successors and assigns shall have the sole right to exercise or
refrain from exercising such rights. In furtherance of the foregoing, each
Debtor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Secured Party and its officers
as the proxies and attorneys-in-fact of and for such Debtor, with full power
to exercise or to refrain from exercising any and all voting rights
attributable to investment property constituting
14
Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such Event of Default. The foregoing appointment and power, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Obligations have been fully and irreversibly satisfied.
- If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party at
its option may (a) demand, xxx for, collect or make any settlement or
compromise that it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral, and
(b) transfer to itself or any nominee any promissory notes or investment
property constituting Collateral, receive any amounts payable or
distributable in respect thereof and hold the same as additional Collateral
or apply the same to the Obligations.
- Power of Attorney.
- Each Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and
any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true
and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
place and stead of such Debtor or in Secured Party's own name, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the intent and purposes of this
Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives
said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of such Debtor, without notice
to or assent by such Debtor, to do the following:
- to the extent that Debtor's authorization given in Section 3 is
not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with
or without Debtor's signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in
substitution for a financing statement, as Secured Party may deem
appropriate and to execute in Debtor's name such financing statements and
amendments thereto and continuation statements that may require Debtor's
signature; and
- at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, and at Debtors' expense, generally to
sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the UCC and
as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and do all other acts and things that Secured
Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral
and Secured Party's security interest therein, or in order to effect the
intent and purposes of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
Debtor might do, including:
- sending requests for verifications of accounts to customers;
- notifying account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral to
make payments in respect thereof direct to Secured Party, and take control
of all proceeds thereof;
- notifying postal authorities to change the address for delivery of
Debtor's mail to an address designated by Secured Party;
- receiving, opening and disposing of mail addressed to Debtor;
15
- endorsing Debtor's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money
orders, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into
Secured Party's possession;
- signing Debtor's name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any
account, on drafts against customers, on schedules of assignments of
accounts, on verification of accounts and notices to customers and on
notices of assignment, applications for noting of liens on certificates of
title and other public records or documents of any kind as necessary or
desirable to insure perfection or enforceability of Secured Party's
security interests in Collateral;
- filing and prosecuting registration and transfer applications with the
appropriate federal or local agencies or authorities with respect to
trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes;
- upon written notice to Debtor, exercising voting rights with respect to
voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if Secured Party so
elects, with a view to causing the liquidation in a commercially reasonable
manner of assets of the issuer of any such securities; and
- executing, delivering and recording, in connection with any sale or
other disposition of any Collateral, endorsements, assignments or other
instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral.
- sending requests for verifications of accounts to customers;
- to the extent that Debtor's authorization given in Section 3 is
not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with
or without Debtor's signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in
substitution for a financing statement, as Secured Party may deem
appropriate and to execute in Debtor's name such financing statements and
amendments thereto and continuation statements that may require Debtor's
signature; and
- To the extent permitted by law, each Debtor hereby ratifies all that said
attorneys lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of
attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until
the Obligations have been fully and finally satisfied.
- The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that
it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither
it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to Debtors for any act or failure to act, except for Secured
Party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
- Each Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and
any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true
and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
place and stead of such Debtor or in Secured Party's own name, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the intent and purposes of this
Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives
said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of such Debtor, without notice
to or assent by such Debtor, to do the following:
- Default and Remedies.
- This Agreement shall be in default upon occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default; provided, however, with
respect to any Event of Default that is capable of being cured and does not
already provide its own cure procedure (a "Curable Default"), the
occurrence of such Curable Default shall not constitute an Event of Default
hereunder if such Curable Default is fully cured or corrected within ten (10)
days (three (3) days, if such Curable Default may be cured by
16
payment of a sum of money) of notice thereof to Debtors; provided, further, that any subsequent Default of the same type or manner (other than a Defaut for payment of a sum of money) in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months shall constitute an Event of Default without the necessity for any notice or opportunity to cure.
- Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Secured Party may proceed to:
- take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Secured Party
may, so far as Debtors can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises
on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom,
- collect and receive any and all amounts payable or distributable in
respect of the Collateral and hold the same as additional Collateral or
apply the same to the Obligations,
- render equipment constituting Collateral unusable,
- dispose of all or any part of the Collateral by public or private sale,
in such manner and order as Secured Party shall determine, subject to and in
accordance with applicable requirements of the UCC or other applicable law,
and
- exercise any and all other rights, powers, privileges, options and
remedies provided by the UCC or other applicable law, as well as all other
rights and remedies possessed by Secured Party pursuant to the Loan
Documents or the Purchase Agreement.
- take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Secured Party
may, so far as Debtors can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises
on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom,
- Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
upon demand by Secured Party, Debtors shall assemble the Collateral and make
it available to Secured Party at a place designated by Secured Party that is
reasonably convenient to Secured Party and Debtors.
- Any notice of sale, lease or other intended disposition of the Collateral
by Secured Party sent to Debtors at the address hereinafter set forth, or at
such other address of Debtors as may be shown on Secured Party's records, at
least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice
to Debtors.
- Subject to any applicable provisions of the UCC, the Purchase Agreement,
and the other Loan Documents, the proceeds of the exercise of Secured Party's
remedies hereunder shall be applied to the Obligations in such order of
priority as Secured Party shall determine.
- Secured Party may waive any Default or Event of Default before or after
the same has been declared without impairing its right to declare a
subsequent Default or Event of Default hereunder, this right being a
continuing one. Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its
rights upon or under any of the Obligations or
17
Collateral unless such waiver shall be in a record authenticated by a duly authorized representative of Secured Party. - No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Secured Party by
this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the Purchase Agreement is
intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and
every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and
shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder,
under any of the Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute. No delay or omission by Secured Party to exercise any
right, power or remedy accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and
every right, power and remedy given by this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement
and any of the Loan Documents or to Secured Party may be exercised from time
to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Secured Party.
- Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future
collateral security (including but not limited to this Agreement and the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of
them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment
in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of
such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the
extent that it lawfully may, each Debtor hereby agrees that it will not
invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral or any similar law
that might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party's rights
under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any
of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by
which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise
assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Debtor hereby
irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
- This Agreement shall be in default upon occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default; provided, however, with
respect to any Event of Default that is capable of being cured and does not
already provide its own cure procedure (a "Curable Default"), the
occurrence of such Curable Default shall not constitute an Event of Default
hereunder if such Curable Default is fully cured or corrected within ten (10)
days (three (3) days, if such Curable Default may be cured by
- Standards Relating to Exercise of Remedies.
- To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to
exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtors acknowledge
and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (1) to
fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to
prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or
work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (2) to 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, (3) to fail to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons
obligated in respect of Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or
any adverse claims against Collateral, (4) to exercise collection remedies
against account debtors and other persons obligated in respect of Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection
specialists, (5) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications
or media of general circulation,
18
regardless of whether the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (6) to contact other persons, regardless of whether in the same business as Debtors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (7) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, regardless of whether such Collateral is of a specialized nature, (8) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (9) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (10) to disclaim disposition warranties, (11) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (12) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.
- Debtors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions and limitations
provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and applicable state securities laws, Secured Party may be required, in
certain instances regarding a sale of Collateral constituting investment
property, instruments, accounts or general intangibles, to limit purchasers
to those who agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their
own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Debtors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and
on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without
such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made
pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, Debtors agree that any such private sale
shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and
that Secured Party shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no
obligation to delay the sale of such Collateral for the period of time
necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such sale under the
Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if Debtors
would agree to do so.
- Debtors acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 13 is to
provide non-exhaustive indications of actions or omissions by Secured Party
that would not be commercially unreasonable in Secured Party's exercise of
remedies with respect to the Collateral, and that other actions or omissions
by Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on
account of not being indicated in this Section 13. Without limitation
upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be
construed to grant any rights to Debtors or to impose any duties on Secured
Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by
applicable law in the absence of this Section 13.
- To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to
exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtors acknowledge
and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (1) to
fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to
prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or
work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (2) to 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, (3) to fail to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons
obligated in respect of Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or
any adverse claims against Collateral, (4) to exercise collection remedies
against account debtors and other persons obligated in respect of Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection
specialists, (5) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications
or media of general circulation,
- Termination Statements. So long as any of the Obligations are
outstanding or there is any outstanding commitment of Secured Party to make an
advance, incur an obligation or otherwise give value, Secured Party shall have
no obligation to release any of the Collateral or to send or record a
termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed to perfect
Secured Party's security interest(s) in any of the Collateral. Furthermore,
Debtors agree that
19
notwithstanding the full satisfaction of the Obligations and the termination of any outstanding commitment of Secured Party to make an advance, incur an obligation or otherwise give value, Secured Party shall not be required to send Debtors a termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed to perfect Secured Party's security interest(s) in any of the Collateral unless and until Debtors shall have made an authenticated demand therefor. Upon receipt of proper authenticated demand, Secured Party may at its option, in lieu of sending a termination statement to Debtors, cause said termination statement to be filed with the appropriate filing officer(s), and will notify any Debtor within a reasonable period of time after taking such action.
- Debtors' Obligations Absolute, Etc. The obligations of each Debtor
under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional in accordance with
the terms hereof and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to,
and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise
affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without
limitation: (a) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, any waiver, indulgence,
renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or
supplement to or deletion from or any other action or inaction under or in
respect of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein; (b) any
lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement,
any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments or
agreement referred to therein; (c) any limitation on any party's liability or
obligations under any such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or
unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or agreement or
any term thereof; (d) any furnishing of any additional security to Secured
Party or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Secured
Party; (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition,
adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any
Debtor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or
receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, regardless of whether such
Debtor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing; (f) any
exchange, release or non-perfection of any security interest in any other
collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from any guarantee or security, for all or any of the Obligations; or (g) any
other circumstance that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of any Debtor. Each Debtor agrees with Secured Party that each of
the obligations and liabilities of such Debtor to Secured Party under this
Agreement may be enforced against such Debtor without the necessity of joining
any other Person as a party.
