EXHIBIT 10.3
As of March 28, 2003, for value received, the undersigned ("Debtor") pledges,
assigns and grants to Comerica Bank-California, a California banking association
("Bank"), whose address is 000 X. Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx
00000, a continuing security interest and lien (any pledge, assignment, security
interest or other lien arising hereunder is sometimes referred to herein as a
"security interest") in the Collateral (as defined below) to secure payment when
due, whether by stated maturity, demand, acceleration or otherwise, of all
existing and future indebtedness ("Indebtedness") to the Bank of Priority
Fulfillment Services, Inc. and Priority Fulfillment Services of Canada, Inc.
(both individually and collectively referred to as "Borrower") and/or Debtor.
Indebtedness includes without limit any and all obligations or liabilities of
the Borrower and/or Debtor to the Bank, whether absolute or contingent, direct
or indirect, voluntary or involuntary, liquidated or unliquidated, joint or
several, known or unknown, originally payable to the Bank or to a third party
and subsequently acquired by the Bank including, without limitation, any late
charges, loan fees or charges, and overdraft indebtedness, any and all
obligations or liabilities for which the Borrower and/or Debtor would otherwise
be liable to the Bank were it not for the invalidity or unenforceability of them
by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law, or for any other reason;
any and all amendments, modifications, renewals and/or extensions of any of the
above; all costs incurred by Bank in establishing, determining, continuing, or
defending the validity or priority of any security interest, or in pursuing its
rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other agreement between
Bank and Borrower and/or Debtor or in connection with any proceeding involving
Bank as a result of any financial accommodation to Borrower and/or Debtor; and
all other costs of collecting Indebtedness, including without limit attorneys'
fees. Debtor agrees to pay Bank all such costs incurred by the Bank, immediately
upon demand, and until paid all costs shall bear interest at the highest per
annum rate applicable to any of the Indebtedness, but not in excess of the
maximum rate permitted by law. Any reference in this Agreement to attorneys'
fees shall be deemed a reference to reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of
counsel and paralegals, whether inside or outside counsel is used, whether or
not a suit or action is instituted, and to court costs if a suit or action is
instituted, and whether attorneys' fees or court costs are incurred at the trial
court level, on appeal, in a bankruptcy, administrative or probate proceeding or
otherwise.
Debtor further covenants, agrees, represents and warrants as follows:
1. COLLATERAL shall mean all of the following property the undersigned now or
later owns or has an interest in, wherever located:
(a) All of the following, whether now or hereafter existing, which are
owned by Debtor or in which Debtor otherwise has any rights: all
shares of stock of Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc., sixty-five
percent (65%) of the ownership interest of Debtor in each of Priority
Fulfillment Services of Canada, Inc. and PFSweb B.V., all certificates
representing any such shares, all options and other rights,
contractual or otherwise, at any time existing with respect to such
shares, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property now or
hereafter received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of
or in exchange for any or all of such shares.
(b) All additions, attachments, accessions, parts, replacements,
substitutions, renewals, interest, dividends, distributions, rights of
any kind (including but not limited to stock splits, stock rights,
voting and preferential rights), products, and proceeds of or
pertaining to the above including, without limit, cash or other
property which were proceeds and are recovered by a bankruptcy trustee
or otherwise as a preferential transfer by the undersigned.
In the definition of Collateral, a reference to a type of collateral shall
not be limited by a separate reference to a more specific or narrower type
of that collateral.
2. WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS. The undersigned warrants, covenants
and agrees as follows:
2.1 The undersigned shall furnish to Bank, in form and at intervals as
Bank may request, any information Bank may reasonably request and
allow Bank to examine, inspect, and copy any of the undersigned's
books and records. The undersigned shall, at the request of Bank, mark
its records and the Collateral to clearly indicate the security
interest of Bank under this Agreement.
2.2 At the time any Collateral becomes, or is represented to be, subject
to a security interest in favor of Bank, the undersigned shall be
deemed to have warranted that (a) the undersigned is the lawful owner
of the Collateral and has the right and authority to subject it to a
security interest granted to Bank; (b) none of the Collateral is
subject to any security interest other than that in favor of Bank, (c)
there are no financing statements on file, other than in favor of
Bank; (d) no person, other than Bank, has possession or control (as
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of any Collateral of such
nature that perfection of a security interest may be accomplished by
control; and (e) Debtor acquired its rights in the Collateral in the
ordinary course of its business; provided that Debtor makes no
representation as to the creation, perfection or priority of Bank's
security interest in Debtor's ownership interest in PFSweb B.V.
2.3 The undersigned will keep the Collateral free at all times from all
claims, liens, security interests and encumbrances other than those in
favor of Bank. The undersigned will not, without the prior written
consent of Bank, sell, transfer or lease, or permit to be sold,
transferred or leased, any or all of the Collateral. Bank or its
representatives may at all reasonable times inspect the Collateral and
may enter upon all premises where the Collateral is kept or might be
located.
2.4 The undersigned will do all acts and will execute or cause to be
executed all writings requested by Bank to establish, maintain and
continue an exclusive, perfected and first security interest of Bank
in the Collateral (excluding Debtor's ownership interest in PFSweb
B.V. and all proceeds thereof). The undersigned agrees that Bank has
no obligation to acquire or perfect any lien on or security interest
in any asset(s), whether realty or personalty, to secure payment of
the Indebtedness, and the undersigned is not relying upon assets in
which the Bank may have a lien or security interest for payment of the
Indebtedness.
2.5 The undersigned will pay within the time that they can be paid without
interest or penalty all taxes, assessments and similar charges which
at any time are or may become a lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any
Collateral, except to the extent contested in good faith and bonded in
a manner satisfactory to Bank. If the undersigned fails to pay any of
these taxes, assessments, or other charges in the time provided above,
Bank has the option (but not the obligation) to do so, and the
undersigned agrees to repay all amounts so expended by Bank
immediately upon demand, together with interest at the highest lawful
default rate which could be charged by Bank to Borrower on any
Indebtedness.
2.6 Intentionally omitted.
2.7 The undersigned at all times shall be in strict compliance with all
applicable laws, including without limit any laws, ordinances,
directives, orders, statutes, or regulations an object of which is to
regulate or improve health, safety, or the environment ("Environmental
Laws").
2.8 Intentionally omitted.
2.9 If Bank, acting in its sole discretion, redelivers Collateral to the
undersigned or the undersigned's designee for the purpose of (a) the
ultimate sale or exchange thereof; or (b) presentation, collection,
renewal, or registration of transfer thereof; or (c) loading,
unloading, storing, shipping, transshipping, manufacturing, processing
or otherwise dealing with it preliminary to sale or exchange; such
redelivery shall be in trust for the benefit of Bank and shall not
constitute a release of Bank's security interest in it or in the
proceeds or products of it unless Bank specifically so agrees in
writing. Any proceeds of Collateral coming into the undersigned's
possession as a result of any such redelivery shall be held in trust
for Bank and immediately delivered to Bank for application on the
Indebtedness. Bank may (in its sole discretion) deliver any or all of
the Collateral to the undersigned, and such delivery by Bank shall
discharge Bank from all liability or responsibility for such
Collateral. Bank, at its option, may require delivery of any
Collateral to Bank at any time with such endorsements or assignments
of the Collateral as Bank may request.
2
2.10 At any time after and during the continuation of an Event of Default
and without notice, Bank may (a) cause any or all of the Collateral to
be transferred to its name or to the name of its nominees; (b) receive
or collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, interest,
principal payments and other sums and all other distributions at any
time payable or receivable on account of the Collateral, and hold the
same as Collateral, or apply the same to the Indebtedness, the manner
and distribution of the application to be in the sole discretion of
Bank; (c) enter into any extension, subordination, reorganization,
deposit, merger or consolidation agreement or any other agreement
relating to or affecting the Collateral, and deposit or surrender
control of the Collateral, and accept other property in exchange for
the Collateral and hold or apply the property or money so received
pursuant to this Agreement; and (d) take such actions in its own name
or in Debtor's name as Bank, in its sole discretion, deems necessary
or appropriate to establish exclusive control (as defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code) over any Collateral (other than Debtor's
ownership interest in PFSweb B.V.) of such nature that perfection of
the Bank's security interest may be accomplished by control.
2.11 Bank may assign any of the Indebtedness and deliver any or all of the
Collateral to its assignee, who then shall have with respect to
Collateral so delivered all the rights and powers of Bank under this
Agreement, and after that Bank shall be fully discharged from all
liability and responsibility with respect to Collateral so delivered.
2.12 The undersigned delivers this Agreement based solely on the
undersigned's independent investigation of (or decision not to
investigate) the financial condition of Xxxxxxxx and is not relying on
any information furnished by Bank. The undersigned assumes full
responsibility for obtaining any further information concerning the
Borrower's financial condition, the status of the Indebtedness or any
other matter which the undersigned may deem necessary or appropriate
now or later. The undersigned waives any duty on the part of Bank, and
agrees that the undersigned is not relying upon nor expecting Bank to
disclose to the undersigned any fact now or later known by Bank,
whether relating to the operations or condition of Borrower, the
existence, liabilities or financial condition of any guarantor of the
Indebtedness, the occurrence of any default with respect to the
Indebtedness, or otherwise, notwithstanding any effect such fact may
have upon the undersigned's risk or the undersigned's rights against
Xxxxxxxx. The undersigned knowingly accepts the full range of risk
encompassed in this Agreement, which risk includes without limit the
possibility that Borrower may incur Indebtedness to Bank after the
financial condition of Borrower, or Xxxxxxxx's ability to pay debts as
they mature, has deteriorated.
2.13 The undersigned agrees that no security or guarantee now or later held
by Bank for the payment of any Indebtedness, whether from Borrower,
any guarantor, or otherwise, and whether in the nature of a security
interest, pledge, lien, assignment, setoff, suretyship, guaranty,
indemnity, insurance or otherwise, shall affect in any manner the
unconditional pledge of the undersigned under this Agreement, and
Bank, in its sole discretion, without notice to the undersigned, may
release, exchange, modify, enforce and otherwise deal with any
security or guaranty without affecting in any manner the unconditional
pledge of the undersigned under this Agreement. The undersigned
acknowledges and agrees that Bank has no obligation to acquire or
perfect any lien on or security interest in any assets, whether realty
or personalty, or to obtain any guaranty to secure payment of the
Indebtedness, and the undersigned is not relying upon any guaranty
which Bank has or may have or assets in which Bank has or may have a
lien or security interest for payment of the Indebtedness.
2.14 Intentionally omitted.
2.15 The undersigned agrees to reimburse Bank upon demand for all costs and
expenses (including, without limit, attorneys' fees) incurred in
enforcing any of the duties or obligations of the undersigned under
this Agreement or in establishing, determining, continuing or
defending the validity or priority of Bank's security interest under
this Agreement (other than with respect to PFSweb B.V.).
2.16 The undersigned shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its
employees, agents, shareholders, affiliates, officers, and directors
from and against any and all claims, damages, fines, expenses,
liabilities
3
or causes of action of whatever kind, including without limit
consultant fees, legal expenses, and attorneys' fees, suffered by any
of them as a direct or indirect result of any actual or asserted
violation of any law, including, without limit, Environmental Laws, or
of any remediation relating to any property required by any law,
including without limit Environmental Laws, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS,
DAMAGES, FINES, EXPENSES, LIABILITIES OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF WHATEVER
KIND RESULTING FROM BANK'S OWN NEGLIGENCE, except to the extent (but
only to the extent) caused by Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
3. COLLECTION OF PROCEEDS. The undersigned agrees to collect and enforce
payment of all Collateral until Bank shall direct the undersigned to the
contrary. Immediately upon notice to the undersigned by Bank and at all
times after that, the undersigned agrees to fully and promptly cooperate
and assist Bank in the collection and enforcement of all Collateral and to
hold in trust for Bank all payments received in connection with Collateral
and from the sale, lease or other disposition of any Collateral, all rights
by way of suretyship or guaranty and all rights in the nature of a lien or
security interest which the undersigned now or later has regarding
Collateral. Immediately upon and after such notice, the undersigned agrees
to (a) endorse to Bank and immediately deliver to Bank all payments
received on Collateral or from the sale, lease or other disposition of any
Collateral or arising from any other rights or interests of the undersigned
in the Collateral, in the form received by the undersigned without
commingling with any other funds, and (b) immediately deliver to Bank all
property in the undersigned's possession or later coming into the
undersigned's possession through enforcement of the undersigned's rights or
interests in the Collateral. The undersigned irrevocably authorizes Bank or
any Bank employee or agent to endorse the name of the undersigned upon any
checks or other items which are received in payment for any Collateral, and
to do any and all things necessary in order to reduce these items to money.
Bank shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of Collateral or
the proceeds of it, nor as to the preservation of any related rights,
beyond the use of reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
Collateral in the possession of Bank. The undersigned agrees to take all
steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties with respect to
the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed a consent by Bank
to any sale, lease or other disposition of any Collateral.
4. DEFAULTS, ENFORCEMENT AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.
4.1 The occurrence of any "Event of Default" as defined in the Loan and
Security Agreement of even date herewith between Borrowers and Bank,
as from time to time amended, modified or restated, shall be an "Event
of Default" under this Agreement.
4.2 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank may at its
discretion and without prior notice to the undersigned declare any or
all of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, and shall
have and may exercise any right or remedy available to it including,
without limitation, any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
(a) Exercise all the rights and remedies upon default, in foreclosure
and otherwise, available to secured parties under the provisions
of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law;
(b) Institute legal proceedings to foreclose upon the lien and
security interest granted by this Agreement, to recover judgment
against Borrower or any Guarantor for all amounts then due and
owing as Indebtedness, and to collect the same out of any
Collateral or the proceeds of any sale of it;
(c) Institute legal proceedings for the sale, under the judgment or
decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, of any or all
Collateral; and/or
(d) Personally or by agents, attorneys, or appointment of a receiver,
enter upon any premises where Collateral may then be located, and
take possession of all or any of it and/or render it unusable;
and without being responsible for loss or damage to such
Collateral, hold, operate, sell, lease, or dispose of all or any
Collateral at one or more public or private sales, leasings or
other dispositions at places and times and on terms and
conditions as Bank may deem fit, without any previous
4
demand or advertisement; and except as provided in this
Agreement, all notice of sale, lease or other disposition, and
advertisement, and other notice or demand, any right or equity of
redemption, and any obligation of a prospective purchaser or
lessee to inquire as to the power and authority of Bank to sell,
lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or as to the
application by Bank of the proceeds of sale or otherwise, which
would otherwise be required by, or available to the undersigned
under, applicable law are expressly waived by the undersigned to
the fullest extent permitted.
At any sale pursuant to this Section 4.2, whether under the power of
sale, by virtue of judicial proceedings or otherwise, it shall not be
necessary for Bank or a public officer under order of a court to have
present physical or constructive possession of Collateral to be sold.
The recitals contained in any conveyances and receipts made and given
by Bank or the public officer to any purchaser at any sale made
pursuant to this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the
matters stated (including, without limit, as to the amounts of the
principal of and interest on the Indebtedness, the accrual and
nonpayment of it and advertisement and conduct of the sale); and all
prerequisites to the sale shall be presumed to have been satisfied and
performed. Upon any sale of any Collateral, the receipt of the officer
making the sale under judicial proceedings or of Bank shall be
sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and the
purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the application of the
money. Any sale of any Collateral under this Agreement shall be a
perpetual bar against the undersigned with respect to that Collateral.
At any sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to this
Section 4.2, Bank disclaims all warranties which would otherwise be
given under the Uniform Commercial Code, including without limit a
disclaimer of any warranty relating to title, possession, quiet
enjoyment or the like, and Bank may communicate these disclaimers to a
purchaser at such disposition. This disclaimer of warranties will not
render the sale commercially unreasonable.
4.3 The undersigned shall at the request of Bank after the occurrence of
an Event of Default, notify the account debtors or obligors of Bank's
security interest in any Collateral and direct payment of it to Bank.
Bank may, itself, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default so
notify and direct any account debtor or obligor. At the request of
Bank, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, Debtor
shall immediately take such actions as the Bank shall request to
establish exclusive control (as defined in the Uniform Commercial
Code) by Bank over any Collateral which is of such a nature that
perfection of a security interest may be accomplished by control.
4.4 The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral authorized
by this Agreement shall be applied by Bank in such order as the Bank,
in its discretion, deems appropriate including, without limitation,
the following order: first upon all expenses authorized by the Uniform
Commercial Code and all reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses
incurred by Bank; second to all amounts, if any, owing by the
undersigned to Bank under this Agreement, and the balance of the
proceeds of the sale or other disposition shall be applied in the
payment of the Indebtedness, first to interest, then to principal,
then to remaining Indebtedness and the surplus, if any, shall be paid
over to the undersigned or to such other person(s) as may be entitled
to it under applicable law. Debtor shall remain liable for any
deficiency, which it shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand. Debtor
agrees that Bank shall be under no obligation to accept any noncash
proceeds in connection with any sale or disposition of Collateral
unless failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable. If Bank
agrees in its sole discretion to accept noncash proceeds (unless the
failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable), Bank may ascribe
any commercially reasonable value to such proceeds. Without limiting
the foregoing, Bank may apply any discount factor in determining the
present value of proceeds to be received in the future or may elect to
apply proceeds to be received in the future only as and when such
proceeds are actually received in cash by Bank.
4.5 Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall it be construed, to
preclude Bank from pursuing any other remedy provided by law or in
equity for the collection of the Indebtedness or for the recovery of
any other sum to which Bank may be entitled for the breach of this
Agreement by the undersigned. Nothing in this Agreement shall reduce
or release in any way any rights or security interests of Bank
contained in any existing agreement between Borrower, the undersigned
or any Guarantor and Bank.
5
4.6 No waiver of default or consent to any act by the undersigned shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of
Bank. No waiver of any default or forbearance on the part of Bank in
enforcing any of its rights under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future
occasion or of any rights.
4.7 The undersigned (a) irrevocably appoints Bank or any agent of Bank
(which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful
attorney of the undersigned (with full power of substitution) in the
name, place and stead of, and at the expense of, the undersigned and
(b) authorizes Bank or any agent of Bank, in its own name, at Xxxxxx's
expense, to do any of the following, as Bank, in its sole discretion,
deems appropriate:
(i) to demand, receive, sue for, and give receipts or acquittances
for any moneys due or to become due with respect to any
Collateral and to endorse any item representing any payment on
or proceeds of the Collateral;
(ii) to execute and file in the name of and on behalf of the
undersigned all U. S. financing statements or other U.S. or
Canadian filings deemed necessary or desirable by Bank to
evidence, perfect, or continue the security interests granted
in this Agreement; and
(iii) to do and perform any act on behalf of the undersigned
permitted or required under this Agreement.
4.8 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the undersigned also
agrees, upon request of Bank, to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Bank at any place designated by Bank which is reasonably
convenient to Bank and the undersigned.
4.9 The following shall be the basis for any finder of fact's
determination of the value of any Collateral which is the subject
matter of a disposition giving rise to a calculation of any surplus or
deficiency under Section 9.615 (f) of the Uniform Commercial Code (as
in effect on or after July 1, 2001): (a) the Collateral which is the
subject matter of the disposition shall be valued in an "as is"
condition as of the date of the disposition, without any assumption or
expectation that such Collateral will be repaired or improved in any
manner; (b) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the
transferee of such Collateral desires a resale of the Collateral for
cash promptly (but no later than 30 days) following the disposition;
(c) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in
commercial sales transactions relating to property similar to such
Collateral shall be deducted including, without limitation, brokerage
commissions, tax prorations, attorneys' fees, whether inside or
outside counsel is used, and marketing costs; (d) the value of the
Collateral which is the subject matter of the disposition shall be
further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs
associated with maintaining such Collateral pending sale (to the
extent not accounted for in (c) above), and other maintenance,
operational and ownership expenses; and (e) any expert opinion
testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of
the value of such Collateral must be given by persons having at least
5 years experience in appraising property similar to the Collateral
and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of
such Collateral taking into consideration the factors set forth above.
The "value" of any such Collateral shall be a factor in determining
the amount of proceeds which would have been realized in a disposition
to a transferee other than a Bank, a person related to a Bank or a
secondary obligor under Section 9-615(f) of the Uniform Commercial
Code.
5. MISCELLANEOUS.
5.1 Until Bank is advised in writing by the undersigned to the contrary,
all notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement or by
law shall be given to, or made upon, the undersigned at the following
address: PFSweb, -- Inc., 000 X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxx,
Xxxxx 00000.
6
5.2 The undersigned will give Bank not less than 30 days prior written
notice of all contemplated changes in the undersigned's name, chief
executive office, principal place of business, and/or location of any
Collateral, but the giving of this notice shall not cure any Event of
Default caused by this change.
5.3 Bank assumes no duty of performance or other responsibility under any
contracts contained within the Collateral.
5.4 Bank has the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant
participations or any interest in, any or all of the Indebtedness and
any related obligations, including without limit this Agreement. In
connection with the above, but without limiting its ability to make
other disclosures to the full extent allowable, Bank may disclose all
documents and information which Bank now or later has relating to the
undersigned, the Indebtedness or this Agreement, however obtained. The
undersigned further agrees that Bank may provide information relating
to this Agreement or relating to the undersigned or the Indebtedness
to the Bank's parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, and service providers.
5.5 The undersigned, to the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable
law, waives any right to require the Bank to: (a) proceed against any
person or property; (b) give notice of the terms, time and place of
any public or private sale of personal property security held from
Borrower or any other person, or otherwise comply with the provisions
of Sections 9.611 or 9.621 of the Uniform Commercial Code; or (c)
pursue any other remedy in the Bank's power. The undersigned waives
notice of acceptance of this Agreement and presentment, demand,
protest, notice of protest, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of
default, notice of intent to accelerate or demand payment of any
Indebtedness, any and all other notices to which the undersigned might
otherwise be entitled, and diligence in collecting any Indebtedness,
and agree(s) that the Bank may, once or any number of times, modify
the terms of any Indebtedness, compromise, extend, increase,
accelerate, renew or forbear to enforce payment of any or all
Indebtedness, or permit Borrower to incur additional Indebtedness, all
without notice to the undersigned and without affecting in any manner
the unconditional obligation of the undersigned under this Agreement.
The undersigned unconditionally and irrevocably waives each and every
defense and setoff of any nature which, under principles of guaranty
or otherwise, would operate to impair or diminish in any way the
obligation of the undersigned under this Agreement, and acknowledges
that such waiver is by this reference incorporated into each security
agreement, collateral assignment, pledge and/or other document from
the undersigned now or later securing the Indebtedness, and
acknowledges that as of the date of this Agreement no such defense or
setoff exists.
5.6 The undersigned waives any and all rights (whether by subrogation,
indemnity, reimbursement, or otherwise) to recover from Borrower any
amounts paid or the value of any Collateral pledged by the undersigned
pursuant to this Agreement.
5.7 In the event that applicable law shall obligate Bank to give prior
notice to the undersigned of any action to be taken under this
Agreement, the undersigned agrees that a written notice given to the
undersigned at least ten days before the date of the act shall be
reasonable notice of the act and, specifically, reasonable
notification of the time and place of any public sale or of the time
after which any private sale, lease, or other disposition is to be
made, unless a shorter notice period is reasonable under the
circumstances. A notice shall be deemed to be given under this
Agreement when delivered to the undersigned or when placed in an
envelope addressed to the undersigned and deposited, with postage
prepaid, in a post office or official depository under the exclusive
care and custody of the United States Postal Service or delivered to
an overnight courier. The mailing shall be by overnight courier,
certified, or first class mail.
5.8 Notwithstanding any prior revocation, termination, surrender, or
discharge of this Agreement in whole or in part, the effectiveness of
this Agreement shall automatically continue or be reinstated in the
event that any payment received or credit given by Bank in respect of
the Indebtedness is returned, disgorged, or rescinded under any
applicable law, including, without limitation, bankruptcy or
insolvency laws, in which case this Agreement, shall be enforceable
against the undersigned as if the returned, disgorged, or rescinded
payment or credit had not been received or given by Bank, and whether
or not Bank relied upon
7
this payment or credit or changed its position as a consequence of it.
In the event of continuation or reinstatement of this Agreement, the
undersigned agrees upon demand by Bank to execute and deliver to Bank
those documents which Bank determines are appropriate to further
evidence (in the public records or otherwise) this continuation or
reinstatement, although the failure of the undersigned to do so shall
not affect in any way the reinstatement or continuation.
5.9 This Agreement and all the rights and remedies of Bank under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Bank's successors and assigns
and to any other holder who derives from Bank title to or an interest
in the Indebtedness or any portion of it, and shall bind the
undersigned and the heirs, legal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned. Nothing in this Section 5.9 is deemed a
consent by Bank to any assignment by the undersigned.
5.10 If there is more than one the undersigned, all undertakings,
warranties and covenants made by the undersigned and all rights,
powers and authorities given to or conferred upon Bank are made or
given jointly and severally.
5.11 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all terms in this
Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in Article 9 (or, absent
definition in Article 9, in any other Article) of the Uniform
Commercial Code, as those meanings may be amended, revised or replaced
from time to time. "Uniform Commercial Code" means the California
Commercial Code, as amended, revised or replaced from time to time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties intend that the terms used
herein which are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code have, at all
times, the broadest and most inclusive meanings possible. Accordingly,
if the Uniform Commercial Code shall in the future be amended or held
by a court to define any term used herein more broadly or inclusively
than the Uniform Commercial Code in effect on the date of this
Agreement, then such term, as used herein, shall be given such
broadened meaning. If the Uniform Commercial Code shall in the future
be amended or held by a court to define any term used herein more
narrowly, or less inclusively, than the Uniform Commercial Code in
effect on the date of this Agreement, such amendment or holding shall
be disregarded in defining terms used in this Agreement.
5.12 No single or partial exercise, or delay in the exercise, of any right
or power under this Agreement, shall preclude other or further
exercise of the rights and powers under this Agreement. The
unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect
the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement of the undersigned and Bank with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No amendment or
modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the undersigned and an authorized
officer of Bank. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT
REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
5.13 Debtor represents and warrants that Xxxxxx's exact name is the name
set forth in this Agreement. Debtor further represents and warrants
the following and agrees that Debtor is, and at all times shall be,
located in the following place:
Debtor is a registered organization which is organized under the laws
