Agreement, within ninety (90) days following the date of this Agreement, or (ii)

following the date of such Additional Distribution Agreement, then NL hereby
guarantees to the Secured Party that the full amount of the minimum guarantee

as the case may be, will be deposited into the Collection Account, and NL shall
make each such deposit (or any deficit therein) if and to the extent not made by
the respective Payor on or before the Maturity Date of the Secured Promissory

Distribution Agreement or an Additional Distribution Agreement shall expire if
and when NL delivers the Notice of Assignment with respect thereto, provided
that such Notice of Assignment is delivered to the Secured Party before the
Maturity Date of the Secured Promissory Note.
(c) As a
further inducement to the Secured Party to make the Loan evidenced by the
Secured Promissory Note, upon receipt of the proceeds of the Loan, NL hereby
agrees to irrevocably assign, transfer and convey to Secured Party a Eleven and
One-Half percent (11.5%) net profit participation in the Film, which NL shall

under any Contract or License by reason of or arising out of this Security
Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Secured
Party of any payment relating to any Contract or License pursuant
hereto. Secured Party shall not be required or obligated in any
manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Grantor under or pursuant
to any Contract or License, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to

file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or
the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may
be entitled at any time or times.
(b) Secured
Party may at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on

or other Person obligated on the Collateral, Grantor and NL shall not give any
contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without Secured

Collateral to secure the Other Loans, which are pari passu with the security
interest of Secured Party (the “Permitted Additional Liens”), and Permitted
Encumbrances arising in the ordinary course of making the Film that would be
prior to Liens in favor of Secured Party as a matter of law, and upon
recordation the Lien will be enforceable in favor of Secured Party as such as

NL. All action by Grantor and NL necessary or desirable to protect
and perfect such Lien on each item of the Collateral has been, or shall promptly
be, duly taken.

has been duly taken. The Lien of Secured Party on the Collateral
listed on Schedule

Liens and Permitted Encumbrances arising in the ordinary course of making the

is not subject to any licensing, patent, royalty, trademark, trade name or
copyright agreements with any third parties which would require any consent of

monies to any third party as a precondition of such sale or other disposition,
and (iv) the completion of manufacture, sale or other disposition of such
Inventory by Secured Party following an Event of Default shall not require the

and NL shall in all instances obtain signed acknowledgements of Secured Party's
Liens from bailees having possession of Grantor’s Goods that it holds for the
benefit of Secured Party.
(iv) If
requested by Secured Party, Grantor and NL shall obtain authenticated Control
Letters from each issuer of uncertificated securities, securities intermediary,

promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after becoming
beneficiary, notify Secured Party thereof and, if requested by Secured Party,
enter into a tri-party agreement with Secured Party and the issuer and/or
confirmation bank with respect to Letter-of-Credit Rights assigning such
Letter-of-Credit Rights to Secured Party and directing all payments thereunder
upon and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default to be made to
an account identified by Secured Party, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Secured Party.
(vi) Grantor
shall take all steps necessary to grant the Secured Party control of all
electronic chattel paper in accordance with the Code and all “transferable
records” as defined in each of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act.
(vii) Grantor
and NL hereby irrevocably authorize the Secured Party at any time and from time
to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction
any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the
Collateral (i) as all assets of Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless
of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the
scope of Article 9 of the Code or such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an
equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) contain any other
information required by the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance
of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether Grantor is an
organization, the type of organization and any organization identification
number issued to the Grantor, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement
filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or
timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the
Collateral relates. Grantor agrees to furnish any such information to
the Secured Party promptly upon request. Grantor also ratifies its
authorization for the Secured Party to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code
jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed
prior to the date hereof.
(viii) Grantor
shall as soon as commercially practicable after the same is acquired by it,
notify Secured Party of any commercial tort claim (as defined in the Code)
acquired by it and unless otherwise consented by Secured Party, Grantor shall
enter into a supplement to this Security Agreement, granting to Secured Party a
Lien in such commercial tort claim.
11
(ix) Grantor
shall as soon as commercially practicable after forming or investing in any
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, or any Subsidiary in which any Affiliate owns any
Equity Security, cause such Subsidiary to grant to Secured Party a
first priority lien in all assets of such Subsidiary pursuant to a security
agreement in substantially the same form as this Agreement. Grantor
shall be under no obligation to cause any such Subsidiary to grant any lien in
its assets so long as the sole owners of Equity Securities of such Subsidiary
consist of Grantor and Persons who are not Affiliates; provided, however, that
if an Affiliate after the formation of any such Subsidiary becomes an owner of
any Equity Security in such Subsidiary, then Grantor shall as soon as
commercially practicable thereafter cause such Subsidiary to grant to Secured
Party a first priority lien in all assets of such Subsidiary pursuant to a
security agreement in substantially the same form as this
Agreement. Grantor will on demand pay any reasonable attorneys fees
incurred by Secured Party relating to or in connection with the granting of a
lien to Secured Party by any Subsidiary pursuant to this Section
6(a)(ix).
(b) Maintenance of
Records. Grantor and NL shall keep and maintain, at their own
cost and expense, satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, including
a record of any and all payments received and any and all credits granted with
respect to the Collateral and all other dealings with the
Collateral. Grantor and NL shall xxxx their books and records
pertaining to the Collateral to evidence this Security Agreement and the Liens
granted hereby. If Grantor or NL retains possession of any Chattel
Paper or Instruments with Secured Party's consent, such Chattel Paper and
Instruments shall be marked with the following legend: “This writing
and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security
interest of VS Investment B, LLC, as Secured Party.”
(c) Covenants Regarding Patent,
Trademark and Copyright Collateral.
(i) Grantor
and NL shall provide reasonable notice to Secured Party of any material change
to any application or registration relating to any Copyright (now or hereafter
existing), including information that such application or registration is or may
become abandoned, finally refused or expired or dedicated, or of any adverse
determination or development (including the institution of, or any such
determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Copyright
Office or any court) regarding Grantor’s ownership of any Copyright, right to
register the same, or to keep and exclusively maintain the same.
(ii) In no
event shall Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or
designee, file an application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States
Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving Secured Party
prior written notice thereof, and, upon request of Secured Party, Grantor shall
execute and deliver any and all applicable Notices of Security Interests in
Patents and Trademarks and Notices of Security Interests in Copyrights as
Secured Party may request to evidence Secured Party's Lien on such Patent,
Trademark or Copyright, and the General Intangibles of Grantor relating thereto
or represented thereby.
12
(iii) Grantor
and NL shall take all actions necessary or requested by Secured Party to
maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to
maintain the registration of Copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including
the filing of applications for renewal, unless Grantor reasonably shall
determine that such Copyright is not material to the conduct of its
business.
(iv) In the
event that any of the Copyright Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated
or diluted by a third party, Grantor shall comply with Section 6(a)(viii) of
this Security Agreement. Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably
determine that such Copyright Collateral is not material to the conduct of its
business or operations, promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation or
dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement,
misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other actions as Secured Party
shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Patent, Trademark
or Copyright Collateral.
(d) Indemnification. In
any suit, proceeding or action brought by Secured Party relating to any
Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto or to enforce any rights or
claims with respect thereto, Grantor and NL will save, indemnify and keep
Secured Party harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense,
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the
Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a
breach by Grantor or NL of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other
agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such
obligor or successors from Grantor or NL, except in the case of Secured Party,
to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable solely to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of Grantor shall be and
remain enforceable against and only against Grantor and shall not be enforceable
against Secured Party. In addition, Grantor shall at all times defend
and indemnify and hold Secured Party and its Affiliates, members, managers,
officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, successors and assigns
free and harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands,
causes of action, losses, damages, settlements, judgments or recoveries
resulting from any breach of any of the warranties, representations, agreements
or covenants made by Grantor in this Security Agreement, and from any suit or
proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever against Secured Party arising from
or connected with the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement, the
Secured Promissory Note or any of the documents, instruments or agreements to be
executed pursuant hereto or any of the rights and properties assigned to Secured
Party hereunder, including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and costs and
expenses incurred by Secured Party, all of which shall be charged to and paid by
Grantor and shall be secured by the Collateral hereunder; provided, however, that Grantor
shall not have any obligation under the foregoing sentence with respect to any
such event resulting from an indemnified party’s breach of this Security
Agreement, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e) Compliance with Terms of
Accounts, Related Agreements, etc. In all material respects,
Grantor and NL will perform, observe and comply with, and cause their employees
and agents to perform, observe and comply with, all obligations, covenants,
representations and warranties of Grantor or NL under any of the Related
Agreements or in respect of the Film or the Collateral and all other agreements
to which either is a party or by which either is bound relating to the Film or
the Collateral.
13
(f) Limitation on Liens on
Collateral. Grantor and NL will not create, permit or suffer
to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as
is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except the Permitted
Additional Liens and Permitted Encumbrances arising in the ordinary course of
making the Film that would be prior to the Liens in favor of Secured Party as a
matter of law, and will defend the right, title and interest of Secured Party in
and to any of Grantor’s or NL’s rights under the Collateral against the claims
and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(g) Limitations on
Disposition. Grantor and NL will not sell, lease, license,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral (including without
limitation any such transfer or disposition by way of capital or equity
contribution to another Person), or attempt or contract to do so except for (i)
sales, exchanges, trade-ins or other dispositions of Equipment that is
substantially worn, damaged, or obsolete in the ordinary course of business,
(ii) sales of Inventory to buyers in the ordinary course of business, and (iii)
licenses by Grantor or NL of Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and other
intellectual property rights in the ordinary course of business, and not in a
transaction or as part of a series of related transactions whereby substantially
all of the Grantor’s assets are transferred to one or more Persons, to (x) a
Person that is not an Affiliate or (y) if such transaction has been approved in
advance by Grantor’s respective board of directors, a Person that is a
Subsidiary; provided, that a license shall be deemed to be not in the ordinary
course of business for purposes of this subsection if it is an exclusive
license, unless either (I) such license has been approved in advance by
Grantor’s board of directors, or (II) such license relates only to a single
product. The rights of the transferee or licensee with respect to any
transfer or license as authorized in this subsection will be free and clear of
the security interest of Secured Party hereunder; provided, however, that such
security interest shall in the event of any such transfer or license continue to
attach to all rights of Grantor or NL, as the case may be, pursuant to such
transfer or license and the proceeds of such transfer or license as provided
elsewhere herein.
(h) Further Identification of
Collateral. Grantor and NL will, if so requested by Secured
Party, furnish to Secured Party, as often as Secured Party reasonably requests
(but not more often than quarterly), statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection
with the Collateral as Secured Party may reasonably request, all in such detail
as Secured Party may specify.
(i) Notices. Grantor
and NL will advise Secured Party promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien
(other than the Additional Permitted Lien and Permitted Encumbrances) or claim
made or asserted against any of the Collateral, and (ii) of the occurrence of
any other event which would have a material adverse effect on the aggregate
value of the Collateral or on the Liens created hereunder.
(j) No Reincorporation; No
Non-Ordinary Course Transactions. Grantor shall not
reincorporate or reorganize under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
jurisdiction in which it was incorporated as of the date hereof without the
prior written consent of Secured Party. Grantor shall not consummate
or commit to consummate any non-ordinary course transaction.
14
(k) Terminations; Amendments Not
Authorized. Other than the filing of financing statements in
connection with the perfection of the Permitted Additional Liens, Grantor and NL
acknowledge that they are not authorized to file any financing statement or
amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement with
respect to any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of Secured
Party and agree not do so without the prior written consent of Secured Party,
subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2)
of the Code.
(l) Records, Reports and
Information. Grantor and NL shall permit representatives of
Secured Party to have access to and to examine the Physical Properties, and all
books and records relating to any other Collateral during business hours upon
notice of no less than five (5) Business days; and furnish to Secured Party, at
Grantor’s expense, such other information relating to the affairs of Grantor as
Secured Party reasonably may request from time to time. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor shall, if reasonably requested
by Secured Party, at any time, but no more frequently than on a weekly basis,
when any Obligation remains unpaid or not performed hereunder, supply Secured
Party promptly with, or cause Secured Party to be promptly supplied with monthly
sales reports, setting forth the status of all presales entered into with
respect to the Film. In addition Grantor and NL shall furnish or
cause to be furnished to Secured Party such information relating to the
distribution and licensing of the Film, business, properties, condition,
operations and affairs of Grantor or, as the same may relate to the Film or any
of the Collateral, NL, financial or otherwise, as Secured Party may reasonably
request from time to time.
(m) Compliance. Grantor
shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations relating to, and shall pay
prior to delinquency all license fees, registration fees, taxes, guild or union
pension, health and welfare payments, supplemental market, reuse and other
required payments and assessments, and all other charges, including without
limitation non-governmental levies or assessments, which may be levied upon or
assessed against, or which may become security interests, liens or other
encumbrances on, the ownership, operation, possession, maintenance,
exploitation, exhibition or use of, the Collateral, or which create or may
create a lien upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, Grantor shall pay prior
to delinquency all required guild or union residual payments arising prior to
delivery of the Film, and NL shall pay prior to delinquency all required guild
or union residual payments arising after delivery of the Film.
(n) Transactions With
Affiliates. Grantor shall not effect any transaction with NL
or any other Affiliate on a basis less favorable to Grantor than would be the
case if such transaction had been effected with a non-Affiliate.
(o) INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED.
(p) Insurance. Grantor
shall at all times hereunder at its own cost and expense obtain and keep in full
force and effect in amount, kind and form reasonably satisfactory to Secured
Party and with insurers approved by Secured Party such insurance coverage as is
customarily obtained by producers of motion pictures, including so-called
“Producer’s Package Coverage,” errors and omission insurance and comprehensive
liability coverage.
15
The
policies of insurance included in the Producer’s Package Coverage (other than
Workers Compensation Insurance) shall include Secured Party as a loss payee; the
errors and omission and comprehensive liability insurance referenced above shall
name Secured Party (and its agents, officers, directors and employees) as an
additional insured thereunder; and all such policies shall provide for the
issuance to Secured Party of written notice of any cancellation of or material
change in any such insurance coverage which written notice shall be given to
Secured Party not less than ten (10) days in advance of such cancellation of or
material change in such insurance coverage.
(q) Consolidation, Merger,
Dissolution, Sale. Grantor shall not consolidate with or merge
into any other Person or entity or wind up, liquidate or dissolve its affairs,
or sell, lease, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of or grant an interest
in all or a substantial part of the Collateral or its other properties and
assets or change its corporate or trade name.
(r) Final Budget; Use of
Proceeds. Grantor shall not pay or incur any expense except as
provided in the Final Budget or as expressly authorized in this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Grantor shall not
use the proceeds of the Loan or any of the Other Loans for any purpose or thing
other than the production, marketing and distribution of the Film in accordance
with the Final Budget and for the other purposes expressly authorized under this
Agreement.
(s) Grantor
shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to, carry on and conduct its
business in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields
of enterprise as it is presently conducted and do all things necessary to remain
duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and (to the extent such concept
applies to such entity) in good standing as a domestic corporation, partnership
or limited liability company in its jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization, as the case may be, as in effect on the date hereof, and maintain
all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which
its business is conducted, except to the extent that the failure to maintain any
of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Grantor or the rights of the Secured Party under the
Obligations.
(t) Grantor
shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to, timely file complete and
correct United States federal and applicable foreign, state and local tax
returns required by law and pay when due all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges and levies upon it or its income, profits or property, except those
which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with
GAAP.
(u) Grantor and NL shall, and shall cause
each of their subsidiaries to, at their expense, keep proper books of record and
account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and
transactions in relation to the Film. Grantor and NL shall permit any
representatives designated by Secured Party, upon reasonable prior notice and
during normal business hours, to visit and inspect their properties, to examine
and make extracts from their books and records related to the Film, and to
discuss their affairs, finances and condition (with respect to NL, limited to
matters related to the Film) with their officers and independent accountants,
all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested, but no more
often than quarterly.
16
Grantor
shall, immediately upon completion of the quarterly financial statements for
each of the fiscal quarters of Grantor, cause Xxxxxxxx & Company, P.A. or
such other independent accounting firm satisfactory to Secured Party, in its
sole discretion (the “Independent
Accountants”), to deliver copies of Grantor’s consolidated and
consolidating balance sheets and related statements of operations, stockholders’
equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such fiscal quarter and the then
elapsed portion of the fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative
form the figures for the corresponding period or periods of (or, in the case of
the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year.
7. Secured Party’s Appointment
as Attorney-in-Fact. Contemporaneously herewith, Grantor shall
execute and deliver to Secured Party a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”)
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of
Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be revocable only upon
repayment in full of the Secured Promissory Note and full performance of all
Obligations of Grantor and NL hereunder. The powers conferred on
Secured Party under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Secured Party’s
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to
exercise any such powers. Secured Party agrees that (a) except for
the powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise
any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Secured Party shall account for
any monies received by Secured Party in respect of any foreclosure on or
disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney, provided that
Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral, and Secured Party shall
be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of such powers. NONE OF SECURED PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR
REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO GRANTOR OR NL FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO
ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES
ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS
FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE,
EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
8. Remedies, Rights Upon
Default.
(a) In
addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security
Agreement, the Secured Promissory Note 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, Secured Party 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 Secured Party, without demand of
performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the
notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon
Grantor, NL or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements
and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the
Code and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of Grantor
or NL where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial
process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving Grantor, NL or any
other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Secured Party’s claim or
action, and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize
upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease,
license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise
dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part
thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any
exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
17
Secured
Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent
permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or
any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption,
which equity of redemption Grantor hereby releases. Such sales may be
adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. Secured Party
shall have the right to conduct such sales on Grantor’s premises or elsewhere
and shall have the right to use Grantor’s premises without charge for such time
or times as Secured Party deems necessary or advisable. If any Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor and NL further agree,
at Secured Party’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to
Secured Party at a place or places designated by Secured Party which are
reasonably convenient to Secured Party, NL and Grantor, whether at Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere. Until Secured Party is able to effect a sale,
lease, license or other disposition of Collateral, Secured Party 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 Secured Party. Secured Party
shall have no obligation to Grantor or NL to maintain or preserve the rights of
Grantor or NL as against third parties with respect to Collateral while
Collateral is in the possession of Secured Party. Secured Party may,
if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession
of Collateral and to enforce any of Secured Party’s remedies with respect to
such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such
appointment. Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the
Obligations as Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion, and only
after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by Secured Party
of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Secured Party account
for the surplus, if any, to Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law, Grantor and NL waive all claims, damages, and demands against
Secured Party 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 Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Grantor and NL agree that ten (10) days prior notice by
Secured Party of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after
which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such
matters. 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 attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by
Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Secured Party acknowledges
that the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 8(a) are also reserved to
an additional secured party pursuant to the Permitted Additional
Lien.
(b) Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, Grantor and NL hereby waive 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) To the
extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise
remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Grantor and NL acknowledge and
agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (i) to fail
to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare
Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in
process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition,
18
(ii)
to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed
of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain
governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of
Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection
remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to
remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise
collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the
same business as the Grantor or NL, for expressions of interest in acquiring all
or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional
auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by
utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types
included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or
that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale
rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as
title, possession or quiet enjoyment, or (xi) to the extent deemed appropriate
by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment
bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the
collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Grantor and NL
acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 8(c) is to
provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured
Party would not be commercially unreasonable in the Secured Party’s exercise of
remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of
not being indicated in this Section
8(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained
in this Section
8(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantor or NL or to impose
any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this
Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section
8(c).
(d) Secured
Party shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of
their 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. Secured Party
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 their rights hereunder shall be
cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, Grantor and NL
absolutely and irrevocably waive and relinquish the benefit and advantage of,
and covenant not to assert against Secured Party, any valuation, stay,
appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or
defense they may have as sureties 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.
9. Grant of License to use
Intellectual Property. For the sole purpose of enabling
Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies under Section 8 hereof
(including, without limiting the terms of Section 8 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
Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies,
19
Grantor
and NL hereby grant to Secured Party an irrevocable, nonexclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Grantor or NL)
to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by Grantor or NL which is part of the Collateral, 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.
10. Limitation on Secured
Party's Duties in Respect of Collateral. Secured Party shall
use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under
its control. Secured Party shall not have any other duty as to any
Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any
agent or nominee of Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the
preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
thereto.
11. Reinstatement. This
Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be
effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor or NL for
liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor or NL become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or
trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s or NL’s
assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment and performance of the obligations, or any part thereof,
is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must
otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as
a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though
such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
12. Notices. Except
as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or
may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or
whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any
communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand,
request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in
writing and shall be given (a) if to Grantor or NL, to Grantor’s and NL’s
address set forth below the names on the signature page hereof, and (b) if to
Secured Party, to Secured Party's address set forth below its name on the
signature page hereof, or to such other address as either party may furnish to
the others in writing, making specific reference to this Section 12.
13. Severability. Whenever
possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement sets
forth the complete understanding and agreement of Secured Party and Grantor with
respect to the matters referred to herein.
20
14. No Waiver, Cumulative
Remedies. Secured Party shall not by any act, delay, omission
or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder,
and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Secured Party and then
only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Secured Party of
any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a
bar to any right or remedy which Secured Party would otherwise have had on any
future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising
on the part of Secured Party, 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 Secured Party and Grantor.
15. Limitation by
Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security
Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not
violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security
Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of
law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that
they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole
or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the
provisions of any applicable law.
16. [Reserved].
17. Successors and
Assigns. This Security Agreement and all obligations of
Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Grantor
(including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of Grantor) and shall, together
with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of
Secured Party, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the
Obligations and its respective successors and assigns. No sales of
participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any
agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion
thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to
Secured Party hereunder. Grantor may not assign, sell, hypothecate or
otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement
and any unconsented transfer shall be void ab initio.
18. Counterparts. This
Security Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts,
each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one and the same
agreement. This Security Agreement may be authenticated by manual
signature, facsimile, or if approved in writing by Secured Party, electronic
means, all of which shall be equally valid.
19. Governing
Law. IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION,
VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED
IN THAT STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE
PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT AND AGREE THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN LOS
ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND
DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY PERTAINING TO
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT, PROVIDED, THAT SECURED PARTY, NL AND GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED
OUTSIDE OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER,
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE SECURED PARTY
FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO
REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO
ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF SECURED PARTY.
21
GRANTOR
AND NL EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY
ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER
VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL
OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. GRANTOR
AND NL HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS
ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREE THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS,
COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL
ADDRESSED TO GRANTOR AND NL AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES
HERETO AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF
ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER
POSTAGE PREPAID.
20. Waiver of Jury
Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN
EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL
LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES
ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH
APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE
BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY
DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN SECURED PARTY
AND GRANTOR ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
21. Section
Titles. The Section titles contained in this Security
Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind
whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties
hereto.
22. No Strict
Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in
the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event
an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security
Agreement.
22
23. Advice of
Counsel. Each of the parties represents to each other party
hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and, specifically, the
provisions of Section
19 and Section
20, with its counsel.
24. Integration. This
Security Agreement, together with the other agreements, documents, and
instruments executed in connection with the foregoing, reflect the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral
or written, before the date hereof.

This
Power of Attorney is executed and delivered by 301 Productions, Inc., a
California corporation (collectively and/or individually as the context

Secured Party and as agent and attorney-in-fact for the Secured Party, under a
Security Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2008, and other related documents
(the “Loan

presented, as authority for Attorney to take any action or actions contemplated
hereby, shall be required to inquire into or seek confirmation from Grantor as
to the authority of Attorney to take any action described below, or as to the
existence of or fulfillment of any condition to this Power of Attorney, which is
intended to grant to Attorney unconditionally the authority to take and perform
the actions contemplated herein, and Grantor irrevocably waives any right to
commence any suit or action, in law or equity, against any person or entity
which acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this
Power of Attorney. The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an
interest, and may not be revoked or canceled by Grantor without Attorney's
written consent.
Grantor
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Attorney (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by Attorney), with full power of substitution, as
Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and
authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or in its
own name, from time to time in Attorney’s discretion, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and
instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
the Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Grantor hereby grants to Attorney the power and right, on behalf of Grantor,
without notice to or assent by Grantor, and at any time, to do the
following: (a) change the mailing address of Grantor, open a post
office box on behalf of Grantor, open mail for Grantor, and ask, demand,
collect, give acquaintances and receipts for, take possession of, endorse any
invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse
receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, and notices in
connection with any property of Grantor; (b) effect any repairs to any asset of
Grantor, or continue or obtain any insurance and pay all or any part of the
premiums therefor and costs thereof, and make, settle and adjust all claims
under such policies of insurance, and make all determinations and decisions with
respect to such policies; (c) pay or discharge any taxes, liens, security
interests, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against
Grantor or its property; (d) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought
against Grantor if Grantor does not defend such suit, action or proceeding or if
Attorney believes that Grantor is not pursuing such defense in a manner that
will maximize the recovery to Attorney, and settle, compromise or adjust any
suit, action, or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, give
such discharges or releases as Attorney may deem appropriate; (e) file or
prosecute any claim, litigation, suit or proceeding in any court of competent
jurisdiction or before any arbitrator, or take any other action otherwise deemed
appropriate by Attorney for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys
due to Grantor whenever payable and to enforce any other right in respect of
Grantor’s property; (f) cause the certified public accountants then engaged by
Grantor to prepare and deliver to Attorney at any time and from time to time,
promptly upon Attorney’s request, the following
reports:
36
(1) a
reconciliation of all accounts, (2) an aging of all accounts, (3) trial
balances, (4) test verifications of such accounts as Attorney may request, and
(5) the results of each physical verification of inventory; (g) communicate in
its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the assignment of the
right, title and interest of such Grantor in and under the Contracts and other
matters relating thereto; (h) to file such financing statements with respect to
the Security Agreement, with or without Grantor’s signature, or to file a
photocopy of the Security Agreement in substitution for a financing statement,
as Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in each Grantor’s name such
financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which
may require such Grantor’s signature; and (i) execute any endorsements,
assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral and to otherwise direct such sale or resale, all as though Attorney
were the absolute owner of the property of Grantor for all purposes, and to do,
at Attorney’s option and Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time,
all acts and other things that Attorney reasonably deems necessary to perfect,
preserve, or realize upon Grantor’s property or assets and Attorney's Liens
thereon, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do. Grantor
hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said Attorney shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
IN
