REMEDIES: RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
|
|
(a)
|
In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Senior Secured Note Agreement, the other Senior Note Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (beyond any applicable cure or grace period), Purchaser may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Purchaser, without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (i) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Purchaser’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Purchaser may deem commercially reasonable and/or (ii) lease, license or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Purchaser may deem commercially reasonable. To the extent deemed appropriate by the Purchaser, Purchaser may, at the sole cost of the Guarantors, obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Purchaser in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Purchaser shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Purchaser may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Purchaser arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations. Grantor hereby acknowledges that (a) any such sale of the Collateral by Purchaser shall be made without warranty, (b) Purchaser may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (c) such actions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above shall not adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of the Collateral.
|
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (beyond any applicable grace or cure period), Grantor further agrees, at Purchaser’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Purchaser at a place or places designated by Purchaser which are reasonably convenient to Purchaser and Grantor, whether at Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Until Purchaser is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Purchaser shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have no obligation to Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of Grantor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Purchaser. Purchaser may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Purchaser’s remedies, with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Purchaser shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations as provided in the Senior Secured Note Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by Purchaser of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Purchaser account for the surplus, if any, to Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Purchaser arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Purchaser to collect such deficiency.

|
(b)
|
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
|
|
(c)
|
Purchaser shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. Purchaser shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and its rights hereunder or under any other Senior Note Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Purchaser, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.

GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. For the purpose of enabling Purchaser to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 7 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as Purchaser shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, Grantor hereby grants to Purchaser, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

REINSTATEMENT.

NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.

A waiver by Purchaser of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Purchaser would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Purchaser, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Purchaser and Grantor.
