5. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time
thereafter, Laurus may declare all Obligations immediately due and payable and
Laurus shall have the remedies of a secured party provided in the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York, this Agreement and other
applicable law. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time
thereafter, Laurus will have the right to take possession of the Collateral and
to maintain such possession on our premises or to remove the Collateral or any
part thereof to such other premises as Laurus may desire. Upon Laurus' request,
each of the Assignors shall assemble or cause the Collateral to be assembled and
make it available to Laurus at a place designated by Laurus. If any notification
of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, such notification,
if mailed, shall be deemed properly and reasonably given if mailed at least ten
(10) days before such disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to any Assignor
either at such Assignor's address shown herein or at any address appearing on
Laurus' records for such Assignor. Any proceeds of any disposition of any of the
Collateral shall be applied by Laurus to the payment of all expenses in
connection with the sale of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and other legal expenses and disbursements and the reasonable expense of
retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, and the like, and any balance of
such proceeds may be applied by Laurus toward the payment of the Obligations in
such order of application as Laurus may elect, and each Assignor shall be liable
for any deficiency. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Laurus shall have the immediate
right to withdraw any and all monies contained in (x) the Laurus Restricted
Account and apply same to the repayment of the Obligations (in such order of
application as Laurus may elect) and (y) the Reserve Restricted Account and
apply same to the repayment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Master Security Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any Related
Agreement, in the event that Laurus exercises the remedies provided for in this
Section 5, Laurus agrees to apply the amounts (if any) set forth in each of the
Laurus Restricted Account and the Reserve Restricted Account prior to exercising
its other remedies provided for in this Section 5.
6. If any Assignor defaults in the performance or fulfillment of any of
the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions or warranties on such
Assignor's part to be performed or fulfilled under or pursuant to this Master
Security Agreement (following any applicable grace period), Laurus may, at its
option without waiving its right to enforce this Master Security Agreement
according to its terms, immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice
to any Assignor, perform or fulfill the same or cause the performance or
fulfillment of the same for each Assignor's joint and several account and at
each Assignor's joint and several cost and expense, and the cost and expense
thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be added to the Obligations
and shall be payable on demand with interest thereon at the highest rate
permitted by law.
7. Each Assignor appoints Laurus, any of Laurus' officers, employees or
any other person or entity whom Laurus may designate as our attorney, with power
to execute such documents in each of our behalf and to supply any omitted
information and correct patent errors in any documents executed by any Assignor
or on any Assignor's behalf; to file financing statements against us covering
the Collateral (and, in connection with the filing of any such financing
statements, describe the Collateral as "all assets and all personal property,
whether now owned and/or hereafter acquired" (or any substantially similar
variation thereof)); following any Event of Default and any applicable period of
grace, to sign our name on public records; and to do all other things Laurus
deem necessary to carry out this Master Security Agreement. Each Assignor hereby
ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney and neither Laurus nor the
attorney will be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any
error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision). This power being coupled with an interest,
is irrevocable so long as any Obligations remains unpaid.
5
8. No delay or failure on Laurus' part in exercising any right,
privilege or option hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such or of any other
right, privilege, remedy or option, and no waiver whatever shall be valid unless
in writing, signed by Laurus and then only to the extent therein set forth, and
no waiver by Laurus of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other
default or of the same default on a future occasion. Laurus' books and records
containing entries with respect to the Obligations shall be admissible in
evidence in any action or proceeding, shall be binding upon each Assignor for
the purpose of establishing the items therein set forth and shall constitute
prima facie proof thereof (in the absence of manifest error or fraud). Laurus
shall have the right to enforce any one or more of the remedies available to
Laurus, successively, alternately or concurrently. Each Assignor agrees to join
with Laurus in executing financing statements or other instruments to the extent
required by the Uniform Commercial Code in form satisfactory to Laurus and in
executing such other documents or instruments as may be required or deemed
necessary by Laurus for purposes of affecting or continuing Laurus' security
interest in the Collateral.
6
9. This Master Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York and cannot be terminated
orally. All of the rights, remedies, options, privileges and elections given to
Laurus hereunder shall inure to the benefit of Laurus' successors and assigns.
The term "Laurus" as herein used shall include Laurus, individually and in its
capacity as collateral agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, any parent
of Laurus', any of Laurus' subsidiaries and any co-subsidiaries of Laurus'
parent, whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired, and all of the
terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each of the foregoing, and shall bind
the representatives, successors and assigns of each Assignor. Except as set
forth below in this Section 9, any and all disputes, controversies and claims
that any Assignor may assert against Laurus arising out of or relating to this
Master Security Agreement or any other Document shall be determined exclusively
by arbitration (each such arbitration, an "Arbitration") in New York City before
a panel of three neutral arbitrators agreed to by Laurus and the Company
(collectively, the "Arbitrators") in accordance with and pursuant to the then
existing commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Each Assignor hereby irrevocably waives any right to assert such claims in any
other forum. The Arbitrators shall have the power in their discretion to award
specific performance or injunctive relief (but shall not have the power to
render any incidental, special or punitive damages) and reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses to any party in any arbitration. The Arbitrators may not
change, modify or alter any express condition, term or provision of this Master
Security Agreement or of any other Document nor shall they have the power to
render any award against Laurus that would have such effect. Each Arbitration
award shall be final and binding upon the parties subject thereto and judgment
may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. The service of
any notice, process, motion or other document in connection with an Arbitration
or for the enforcement of any Arbitration award may be made in the same manner
as communications may be given under Section 10 hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the provisions of this Section 9 nor any other provision contained in
this Master Security Agreement or in any other Document shall limit in any
manner whatsoever the Laurus' right to commence an action against or in
connection with any Assignor or their respective properties in any court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise utilize judicial process in connection with
or arising out of Laurus' rights and remedies under this Master Security
Agreement and/or any other Document or otherwise (any such action, a "Court
Action"). Court Actions may be brought by Laurus in any state or federal court
of competent jurisdiction and each Assignor irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of such state and federal courts and irrevocably waives any claim
or defense of inconvenient forum or lack of personal jurisdiction in such forum
or right of removal or right to jury trial under any applicable law or decision
or otherwise. Service of any notice, process, motion or other document in
connection with a Court Action may be made in the same manner as communications
may be given under Section 10. In addition, Laurus may serve process in any
other manner permitted under applicable law.
10. All notices from Laurus to any Assignor shall be sufficiently given
if mailed or delivered to such Assignor's address set forth below.
