If Debtor fails to perform any agreement or obligation provided for in any Debt Document, Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be a part of the Indebtedness, secured by the Collateral and payable by Debtor on demand.
13
(c) Debtor’s Receipt of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and writings) received by Debtor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent hereunder and, upon the written request of Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property of Debtor and shall be forthwith delivered to Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) and applied to the Indebtedness in accordance with the Debt Documents.
(d) Notification of Account Debtors. Collateral Agent may at its reasonable discretion from time to time during the continuation of an Event of Default notify any or all obligors under any accounts (i) of Collateral Agent’s security interest in such accounts or general intangibles and direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Debtor thereunder directly to Collateral Agent, and (ii) to verify the accounts with such obligors. Collateral Agent shall have the right, at the expense of Debtor, to enforce collection of any such accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Debtor.
7. Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement:
(a) Payment Default. The failure, refusal or neglect of Debtor to pay when due any part of the principal of, or interest on the Indebtedness owing to Collateral Agent by Debtor or any other indebtedness or obligations due and owing from Debtor to Collateral Agent under the Debt Documents from time to time.
(b) Performance or Warranty Default. The failure of Debtor to timely and properly observe, keep or perform any covenant, agreement, warranty or condition required herein or in any of the other Debt Documents.
(c) Representations. Any representation contained herein or in any of the other Debt Documents made by Debtor is false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect when made or when deemed to have been made.
(d) Insolvency. If Debtor: (i) becomes insolvent, or makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) generally is not paying its debts as such debts become due; (iii) has a receiver, trustee or custodian appointed for, or take possession of, all or substantially all of its assets, either in a proceeding brought by it or in a proceeding brought against it and such appointment is not discharged or such possession is not terminated within sixty (60) days after the effective date thereof or it consents to or acquiesces in such appointment or possession; (iv) files a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other present or future federal or state insolvency, Bankruptcy or similar laws (all of the foregoing hereinafter collectively called “Applicable Bankruptcy Law”) or an involuntary petition for relief is filed against it under any Applicable Bankruptcy Law and such involuntary petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or an order for relief naming it is entered under any Applicable Bankruptcy Law, or any composition, rearrangement, extension, reorganization or other relief of debtors now or hereafter existing is requested or consented to by it; or (v) fails to have discharged within a period of sixty (60) days any attachment, sequestration or similar writ levied upon any property of it.
14
(e) Judgment. The entry of any judgment against Debtor or the issuance or entry of any attachments or other liens against any of the property of Debtor for an amount in excess of $100,000.00 (individually or in the aggregate) if uninsured, undischarged, unbonded or undismissed on the date on which such judgment could be executed upon.
(f) Action Against Collateral. The Collateral or any portion thereof is taken on execution or other process of law in any action.
(g) Action of Lien Holder. The holder of any lien or security interest on the Collateral (without hereby implying the consent of Collateral Agent to the existence or creation of any such lien or security interest on the Collateral), declares a default thereunder or institutes foreclosure or other proceedings for the enforcement of its remedies thereunder.
(h) Transfer of the Property. Title to all or any part of the Collateral (other than obsolete or worn personal property replaced by adequate substitutes of equal or greater value than the replaced items when new) shall become vested in any party other than Debtor, whether by operation of law or otherwise.
(i) Debt Documents. (i) The Debt Documents shall at any time after their execution and delivery and for any reason cease (1) to create a valid and perfected first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) in and to the Collateral; or (2) to be in full force and effect or shall be declared null and void, or (ii) the validity or enforceability of the Debt Documents shall be contested by Debtor or any other Person party thereto or Debtor shall deny it has any further liability or obligation under the Debt Documents.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the events of default enumerated in any of the other Debt Documents and all such events of default shall be cumulative.
8. Remedies and Related Rights. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and without limiting any other rights and remedies provided herein, under any of the Debt Documents or otherwise available to Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may exercise one or more of the rights and remedies provided in this Section; provided, however, Collateral Agent may not exercise any of the rights or remedies provided in this Section so long as there remains unpaid any Payable Loss arising from the breach of any of the Fundamental Reps.
15
(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default, the entire unpaid balance of principal of the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other Indebtedness owing to Collateral Agent by Debtor at such time shall, at the option of Collateral Agent, become immediately due and payable without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Debtor; provided, however, concurrently and automatically with the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7(e), the Indebtedness at such time shall, without any action by Collateral Agent, become due and payable, without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Debtor. All rights and remedies of Collateral Agent set forth in this Agreement and in any of the other Debt Documents may also be exercised by Collateral Agent, at its option to be exercised in its sole discretion, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and not in substitution or diminution of any rights now or hereafter held by Collateral Agent under the terms of any other agreement.
(b) Other Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default, Collateral Agent may from time to time at its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided in any of the Debt Documents:
(i) Exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a Collateral Agent under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral);
(ii) Require Debtor to, and Debtor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Collateral Agent, assemble the Collateral as directed by Collateral Agent and make it available to Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by Collateral Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(iii) Reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest granted hereunder by any available judicial procedure;
(iv) Sell or otherwise dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Debtor or elsewhere, the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Collateral Agent’s power of sale, but sales or other dispositions may be made from time to time until all of the Collateral has been sold or disposed of or until the Indebtedness has been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale or other disposition it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;
(v) Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any public sale;
16
(vi) Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations;
(vii) Apply for the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, and Debtor hereby consents to any such appointment; and
(viii) At its option, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Indebtedness whenever the circumstances are such that Collateral Agent is entitled to do so under the Code or otherwise.
Debtor agrees that in the event Debtor is entitled to receive any notice under the Code, as it exists in the state governing any such notice, of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, reasonable notice shall be deemed given when such notice is deposited in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, at Debtor’s address set forth on the signature page hereof, ten (10) days prior to the date of any public sale, or after which a private sale, of any of such Collateral is to be held. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Collateral Agent 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.
(c) Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Equity. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred, to the extent permitted by law, Debtor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral of Debtor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and upon written notice to Debtor and Debtor of its exercise of such rights under this Section, all rights of Debtor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Collateral Agent, and who shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.
(d) Dividend and Distribution Rights in Respect of the Pledged Equity. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred, Debtor may receive and retain any and all dividends (other than dividends constituting Pledged Equity which are addressed hereinabove), distributions or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent they are allowed under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default: (i) all rights of Debtor to receive the dividends, distributions and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to this Section shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in Collateral Agent which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity such dividends, distributions and interest payments; and (ii) all dividends, distributions and interest payments which are received by Debtor contrary to the provisions of this Section shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Debtor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Collateral Agent as Pledged Equity in the exact form received, to be held by Collateral Agent as Pledged Equity and as further collateral security for the Indebtedness.
17
(e) Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Collateral Agent may at its discretion apply or use any cash held by Collateral Agent as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Collateral Agent in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral as follows in such order and manner as Collateral Agent may elect:
(i) to the repayment or reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Collateral Agent in connection with (1) the administration of the Debt Documents, (2) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, the Collateral, and (3) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder;
(ii) to the payment or other satisfaction of any liens and other encumbrances upon the Collateral;
(iii) to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness;
(iv) by holding such cash and proceeds as Collateral;
(v) to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law; and
(vi) by delivery to Debtor or any other party lawfully entitled to receive such cash or proceeds whether by direction of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
(f) License. Collateral Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without charge, Debtor’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, customer lists and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral, and, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Collateral Agent’s benefit. In addition, Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that Collateral Agent may, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, sell any of Debtor’s inventory directly to any Person, including without limitation Persons who have previously purchased Debtor’s inventory from Debtor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement, may sell inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to Debtor and any inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to Debtor and Collateral Agent may finish any work in process and affix any trademark owned by or licensed to Debtor and sell such inventory as provided herein.
18
(g) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by Collateral Agent are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Collateral Agent is legally entitled, Debtor (unless otherwise provided) shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Debt Documents.
(h) Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Collateral Agent the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Collateral Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process. Debtor recognizes and concedes that non-judicial remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.
(i) Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by Debtor where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Indebtedness is paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay Debtor for such use and occupancy.
(j) Other Recourse. Debtor waives any right to require Collateral Agent to proceed against any third party, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Indebtedness, or to have any third party joined with Debtor in any suit arising out of the Indebtedness or any of the Debt Documents, or pursue any other remedy available to Collateral Agent. Debtor further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension of the Indebtedness. Debtor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any third party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any third party. Until all of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Debtor shall have no right of subrogation and Debtor waives the right to enforce any remedy which Collateral Agent has or may hereafter have against any third party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Collateral Agent. Debtor authorizes Collateral Agent, and without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Debtor and without affecting Debtor’s liability hereunder or on the Indebtedness to (i) take or hold any other property of any type from any third party as security for the Indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property, (ii) apply such other property and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Collateral Agent may in its discretion determine, (iii) renew, extend, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or release any of the Indebtedness or other security for the Indebtedness, (iv) waive, enforce or modify any of the provisions of any of the Debt Documents executed by any third party, and (v) release or substitute any third party.
19
(k) No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Collateral Agent to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Debt Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
(l) Equitable Relief. Debtor recognizes that in the event Debtor fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Indebtedness, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Collateral Agent. Debtor therefore agrees that Collateral Agent, if Collateral Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
9. Indemnity. Debtor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Collateral Agent, and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature (collectively, the “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Person arising in connection with the Indebtedness or the Collateral (including without limitation, the enforcement of the Note or this Agreement and the defense of any Indemnified Person’s actions and/or inactions in connection with the Debt Documents). WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON, EXCEPT TO THE LIMITED EXTENT THE CLAIMS AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON ARE PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. The indemnification provided for in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall extend and continue to benefit each individual or entity that is or has at any time been an Indemnified Person hereunder.
10. Waiver and Agreement. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Collateral Agent to exercise any right, power or privilege herein or under any of the other Debt Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of any provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Debt Documents and no departure by Debtor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Agent, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing. No modification or amendment to this Agreement or to any of the other Debt Documents shall be valid or effective unless the same is signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.
11. Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Collateral Agent and Debtor, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, provided, however, that Debtor may not, without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, assign any rights, powers, duties or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents.
20
Incorporation. Sections 13.2 and 13.12 of the Purchase Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and shall apply to the terms and conditions of this Note and each party mutatis mutandis.
12. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of the this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance.
13. Expenses. Debtor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with any action in the enforcement of Collateral Agent’s rights upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
15. Survival. All representations and warranties made in the Debt Documents or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of the Debt Documents, and no investigation by Collateral Agent or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Collateral Agent to rely upon them.
16. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF THE DEBT DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTS OR FAILURE TO ACT OF OR BY COLLATERAL AGENT IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS.
