provisions satisfactory to the Agent for payment of all losses thereunder to the
Agent and OI as their interests may appear (including a loss payable endorsement
in favor of the Agent), and, if required by the Agent, OI will deposit the
policies with the Agent. Any such policies of insurance shall provide for no
less than ten (10) days prior written cancellation notice to the Agent. Any sums
exceeding $100,000.00 received by the Agent in payment of insurance losses,
returns, or unearned premiums under the policies, and, during the existence of a
Default or Event of Default, all sums, may, at the option of the Agent, be
applied upon any Obligation whether or not the same is then due and payable, or
may be delivered to OI for the purpose of replacing, repairing, or restoring its
Inventory. OI hereby assigns to the Agent any return
13
of unearned premiums which may be due upon cancellation of any such policies for
any reason and directs the insurers to pay Agent any amount so due. The Agent,
or the Agent's designated agent, is hereby constituted and appointed OI's
attorney-in-fact (either in the name of OI or in the name of the Agent) to make
adjustments of all insurance losses, sign all applications, receipts, releases,
and other papers necessary for the collection of any such loss, and any return
of unearned premium, execute proof of loss, make settlements, and endorse and
collect all Instruments payable to OI or issued in connection therewith.
Notwithstanding any action by the Agent hereunder, any and all risk of loss or
damage to OI's Collateral to the extent of any and all deficiencies in the
effective insurance coverage thereof is hereby expressly assumed by OI.
7. EVENT OF DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as such term is defined in
the Credit Agreement, any and all Obligations shall, at the option of the Agent
and notwithstanding any period of time permitted or allowed by any writing
evidencing an Obligation, become immediately due and payable without notice,
demand, protest, or presentment, all of which are hereby expressly waived by OI.
8. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at all times
thereafter, the Agent shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Connecticut Uniform Commercial Code in addition to the rights and
remedies provided elsewhere within this Agreement or in any other writing
executed by OI. The Agent may require OI to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Agent at a reasonably convenient place to be designated by the
Agent. Unless the Collateral is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in
value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Agent will
give OI reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the
Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition thereof is to be made. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be
met if such notice is mailed (deposited for delivery, postage prepaid, by U.S.
mail) to either, at the Agent's option, (1) OI's Location (as modified by any
change therein which OI has supplied in writing to the Agent) or (2) OI's
address at which the Agent customarily communicates with OI, at least ten (10)
days before the time of the public sale or the time after which any private sale
or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. At any such public or
private sale, the Agent may purchase the Collateral. After deduction for the
Agent's Related Expenses, the residue of any such sale shall be applied in
satisfaction of the Obligations in such order of preference as the Agent may
determine. Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to OI, and
OI shall remain liable for any deficiency.
9. GENERAL
(a) If any provision, term, or portion, of this Agreement, (including,
without limitation, (1) any indebtedness, obligation, liability,
contract, agreement, indenture, warranty, covenant, guaranty,
representation, or condition of this Agreement made, assumed, or
entered into, (2) any act or action taken under this Agreement, or
(3) any
14
application of this Agreement) is for any reason held to be illegal
or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any
other such provision, term, or portion of this Agreement, each of
which shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid
provision, term, or portion were not contained in this Agreement.
Any illegality or invalidity of any application of this Agreement
shall not affect any legal and valid application of this Agreement,
and each provision, term, and portion of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be effective, operative, made, entered into, or taken in
the manner and to the full extent permitted by law.
(b) The Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any of the Agent's
rights hereunder or under any other writing executed by OI unless
such waiver be in writing and signed by the Agent. No delay or
omission on the part of the Agent in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on
any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of
any right or remedy on any future occasion. All of the Agent's
rights and remedies, whether evidenced hereby or by any other
writing shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Any written demands, written requests, or written
notices to OI that the Agent may elect to give shall be effective
when deposited for delivery, postage prepaid, by U.S. mail, and
addressed either, at the Agent's option, to (l) OI's Location (as
modified by any change therein which OI has supplied in writing to
the Agent) or (2) OI's address at which the Agent customarily
communicates with OI. If at any time or times, by assignment or
otherwise, the Agent transfers any of the Obligations or any part
of the Collateral to another Person, such transfer shall carry with
it the Agent's powers and rights under this Agreement with respect
to the Obligation or Collateral so transferred and the transferee
shall have said powers and rights, whether or not they are
specifically referred to in the transfer. To the extent that the
Agent retains any of the Obligations or any part of the Collateral,
the Agent will continue to have the rights and powers herein set
forth with respect thereto.
(c) The laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to principles
of conflict of laws, shall govern the construction of this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. This
Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto
and no oral agreement shall be binding. OI agrees that the Agent
may make a photocopy of this Agreement in the ordinary course of
business and such photocopy may be used in place of the original of
this Agreement. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of
this Agreement may be used as a financing statement. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of OI and the Agent
and their respective successors and assigns. The rights and powers
herein given to the Agent are in addition to those otherwise
created or existing in the same Collateral by virtue of other
agreements or writings.
(d) OI hereby releases the Agent from and agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Agent, and its officers, agents, and employees from
any and all claims of OI or any other Person for damage or loss
caused by any act or acts hereunder or in furtherance
15
hereof whether by omission or commission, and whether based
upon any error of judgment or mistake of law or fact (except
gross negligence or willful misconduct) on the part of the
Agent, or its officers, agents, and employees.
(e) The Agent has the right, in addition to all other rights and
remedies available to it, to set off at any time the unpaid balance
of each Revolving Credit Note and any other Obligations against any
indebtedness owing to OI by the Agent, including, without
limitation, all Cash Security.
(f) OI will cooperate with the Agent in order to fill in all blank
spaces herein, to correct patent errors herein, to complete or
correct the description of the Collateral, and to fill in any
missing date on this Agreement.
10. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. OI hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
proceeding relating to this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in
respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the
State of Connecticut, the courts of the United States of America for the
District of Connecticut, and appellate courts from any thereof; and
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such
courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue
of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or
proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead the
same.
OI, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY
PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE, BETWEEN THE AGENT AND OI ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATING
TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE, GUARANTEE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR
AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED THERETO.
