4 | CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST |
4.1 Grant of Security Interest.
(a) Borrower hereby grants Lender, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Lender, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof (the “Security Interest”). Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that, subject to the filings described in Section 4.2, the Security Interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral to the extent such Security Interest is perfected by the filing of a financing statement (subject only to Permitted Liens). In the event that any holder of
3
Permitted Senior Debt releases its lien on certain (but not all or substantially all of the) assets of the Borrower in order to dispose of such assets, then the Lender’s lien on such assets shall concurrently be released. If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Lender in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated, Lender’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations, Lender shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.
4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Lender’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Lender under the Code. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral as “all personal property of the debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or use words of similar import.
5 | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES |
Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Authorization.
(a) Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, if any, are duly existing and in good standing, as Registered Organizations in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of their business or their ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Lender a completed perfection certificate signed by Borrower (the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete. If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such occurrence and provide Lender with Borrower’s organizational identification number.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.
4
5.2 Collateral.
(a) Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to xxxxx x Xxxx hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no Deposit Accounts other than the deposit accounts with Bank, and the Deposit Accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Lender in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Lender notice necessary for Lender to take the appropriate actions to ensure Lender obtains a perfected security interest under a Control Agreement acceptable to Borrower and Lender. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.
(b) The Collateral is not in the possession of any third-party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate. None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate, as Borrower has given Lender notice pursuant to Section 6.6, or as Borrower is not required to provide notice pursuant to Section 6.6. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any material portion of the Collateral to a bailee and any holder of Permitted Senior Debt requires the delivery of a bailee agreement with respect thereto, then Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the bailee execute and deliver a bailee agreement to Lender.
(c) Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other agreement with respect to which Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Borrower shall provide written notice to Lender within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Borrower shall take such steps as Lender requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed “Collateral” and for Lender to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement (such consent or authorization may include a licensor’s agreement to a contingent assignment of the license to Lender if Lender determines that is necessary in its good faith judgment), whether now existing or entered into in the future.
(d) Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower and noted on the Perfection Certificate. Each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change on Borrower’s business.
5.3 Litigation. Except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate, there are no claims, actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), or under the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001.
5.4 No Material Deterioration in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Lender, (i) were prepared under GAAP, consistently applied (except that any unaudited financial statements may (A) be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and (B) not contain all notes thereto which may be required in accordance with
5
GAAP) and (ii) fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been a Material Adverse Change on the Borrower since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Lender.
5.5 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
5.6 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, other than any non-compliance that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change on the Borrower. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally or could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change on the Borrower. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, unless the failure to so obtain consents, approvals and authorizations, make such declarations or filings, or give such notices could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change on the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants that there are no labor, ERISA or pension plan violations or other material employee-related disputes, grievances, arbitrations, unfair labor practices or litigation, except to the extent that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change on the Borrower.
5.7 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
5.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate or as could not reasonable be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change on the Borrower, Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower and its Subsidiaries have timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower. Except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate or as could not reasonable be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change on the Borrower, Borrower has no knowledge of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change on the Borrower, Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
5.9 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Term Loan solely for (i) within five (5) days of the Effective Date, the Refinancing and (ii) thereafter, to fund its general business requirements, and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Lender may, without notice (other than as set forth in Section 9.1(f)) or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.4 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);
(b) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lender’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;
(c) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral, if Lender requests and make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Lender a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;
(d) Reserved.
(e) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit;
(f) deliver a notice of control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral, but only after providing Borrower with at least five (5) days prior written notice of Lender’s intention to deliver such notice of control, entitled order, or other directions or instructions;
(g) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and
(h) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
9.2 Power of Attorney. Subject to the provisions of the Subordination Agreement, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any
12
checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full; provided, that Lender shall have given Borrower prior notice of, and a reasonable chance to review, such documents. Lender’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid, and shall thereupon terminate automatically.
9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.2 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lender are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate, and secured by the Collateral. Lender will provide Borrower with notice of Lender obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 9-207 of the Code), this Agreement and reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lender, Lender shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.5 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.6 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which Borrower is liable.

The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Lender shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

12.11 Joint and Several Obligations. Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement.

Any Indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by any other Borrower is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations but may be paid in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder. If any amount shall be paid to any Borrower erroneously or in violation of the provisions of this Agreement on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such Indebtedness of any Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Borrower and shall, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited against the payment of the applicable Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Subordination Agreement.

4. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. |
(a) | New Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that all representations and warranties in the Loan Documents made on the part of Existing Borrower are true and correct on the date hereof with respect to Existing Borrower, with the same force and effect as if New Borrower were named as “Borrower” in the Loan Documents in addition to Existing Borrower; and |
(b) | Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.5, and 5.12 of the Loan and Security Agreement are true and correct on the date hereof. |

Borrower and Lender each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York; provided, however, that if for any reason Lender cannot avail itself of such courts in the State of New York, Borrower accepts jurisdiction of the courts and venue in Santa Xxxxx County, California. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH LENDER DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE LENDER’S RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY. |
