(a) Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i) enter upon any premises in which any Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by any Debtor, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any part or all of the Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require any Debtor to assemble and make available to Secured Party at the expense of the Debtors any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any part or all of the Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof (and if any of the Collateral consists of motor vehicles, Secured Party may use any Debtor’s license plates), and (v) sell, resell, lease, assign and deliver, grant options for or otherwise dispose of any part or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, at public or private sale or proceedings or otherwise, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, with or without having the Collateral at the place of sale or other disposition, for cash and/or credit, and upon any terms, at such place(s) and time(s) and to such person(s) as Secured Party deems best, all without demand, notice or advertisement whatsoever, except that where an applicable statute requires reasonable notice of sale or other disposition, each Debtor hereby agrees that the sending of ten days’ notice by overnight mail, postage prepaid, to the Debtors in accordance with Section 14 of this Security Agreement shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof. If any Collateral is sold by Secured Party upon credit or for future delivery, Secured Party shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to pay for same, and in such event Secured Party may resell or otherwise dispose of such Collateral. Secured Party may buy any part or all of the Collateral at any public sale and, if any part or all of the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of the type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, Secured Party may buy such Collateral at private sale and in each case may make payment therefor by any means, whether by credit against the Obligations or otherwise. Secured Party may apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale or other disposition to the reasonable and documented expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, leasing and the like, to reasonable and documented external attorneys’ fees and all legal, travel and other expenses which may be incurred by Secured Party in attempting to collect the Obligations, proceed against the Collateral or enforce this Security Agreement or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding related to the Obligations, the Collateral or this Security Agreement; and then to the Obligations in such order and as to principal or interest as Secured Party may desire; and each Debtor shall remain liable and will pay Secured Party on demand for any deficiency remaining, together with interest thereon at the highest rate then payable on the Obligations and the balance of any expenses unpaid, with any surplus to be paid to the Debtors, subject to any duty of Secured Party imposed by law to the holder of any subordinate security interest in the Collateral known to Secured Party.
(b) Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, as appropriate, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default set off and apply to the payment of the Obligations, any Collateral in or coming into the possession of Secured Party or their agents, without notice to any Debtor and in such manner as Secured Party may in their discretion determine.
6. Secured Party may designate and appoint a collateral agent (“Agent”), as attorney-in-fact of the Debtors, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to: endorse the name of any Debtor on any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders, instruments or other evidences of Collateral that may come into Secured Party’s possession; sign the name of any Debtor on any invoices, documents, assignments; execute proofs of claim and loss; execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer; adjust and compromise any claims under insurance policies or otherwise; execute releases; and do all other acts and things necessary or advisable in the sole discretion of Secured Party to carry out and enforce this Security Agreement or the Obligations. Neither Secured Party nor any designee or agent thereof shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission done in good faith, for any error of judgment or for any mistake of fact or law. This power of attorney being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any Obligations shall remain unpaid.
7. With respect to the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights under this Security Agreement, each Debtor hereby releases Secured Party and Agent from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to this Security Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral and its use and/or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by Secured Party or Agent in good faith with respect thereto, and each Debtor hereby agrees to hold Secured Party and Agent harmless from and with respect to any and all such claims, causes of action and demands; provided that no Debtor shall have any obligation to Secured Party and Agent with respect to any claims, causes of action or demands directly resulting from any violation of law or this Security Agreement, bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party or Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment.
8. Secured Party’s prior recourse to any Collateral shall not constitute a condition of any demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of the Obligations nor shall any demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of the Obligations constitute a condition of any recourse by Secured Party to the Collateral. Any suit or proceeding by Secured Party to recover any of the Obligations shall not be deemed a waiver of, or bar against, subsequent proceedings by Secured Party with respect to any other Obligations and/or with respect to the Collateral. No act, omission or delay by Secured Party shall constitute a waiver of their rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by Secured Party of any covenant, warranty, representation, Default or right or remedy which they may have shall operate as a waiver of any other covenant, warranty, representation, Default, right or remedy or of the same covenant, warranty, representation, Default, right or remedy on a future occasion. Each Debtor hereby waives presentment, notice of dishonor and protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any Obligations or Collateral, and all other notices and demands whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein).
9. Each Debtor hereby agrees to pay, on demand, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of the Notes, this Security Agreement, and the Obligations and in connection with any amendment, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Secured Party.
10. In the event of any litigation with respect to any matter connected with this Security Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or the Notes, each Debtor hereby waives the right to a trial by jury and all rights of setoff. Each Debtor hereby waives personal service of any process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to the Company in accordance with Section 14 of this Security Agreement. In the alternative, Secured Party may in their discretion effect service upon the Debtors in any other form or manner permitted by law.
11. Upon the payment in full of the Notes and satisfaction of all Obligations in accordance with the Notes, the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral under this Security Agreement shall revert to the applicable Debtor. Upon any such termination, each Debtor shall have the right to file UCC–3 financing statement releases or other documents of release reasonably required to reflect the termination of the security interest contemplated hereby.
12. Secured Party may assign their rights and obligation hereunder to any Affiliate of Secured Party, provided that such Affiliate assumes all of the liabilities or obligations of Secured Party hereunder. For purposes of this section, “Affiliate” of any person means any other person or entity which, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by that person, or is under common control with that person or entity. “Control” (including, with correlative meaning, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to any person or entity, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
13. All terms herein shall have the meanings as defined in the UCC, unless the context otherwise requires. No provision hereof shall be modified, altered, waived, released, terminated or limited except by a written instrument expressly referring to this Security Agreement and to such provision, and executed by the party to be charged. The execution and delivery of this Security Agreement has been authorized by any necessary vote or consent of each Debtor. This Security Agreement and all Obligations shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Debtor and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of Secured Party, their executors, administrators, successors, permitted endorsees and permitted assigns. This Security Agreement and the Obligations shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed and to be performed in such state. If any term of this Security Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby. Secured Party is authorized to annex hereto any schedules referred to herein. Each Debtor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Security Agreement.
14. All notices and other communications under this Security Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, by e-mail, by overnight mail or delivery service or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, if to the Company or the Secured Party, to the Company as set forth in the Notes and if to the Secured Party, as set forth in the Notes.
15. The obligations of the Debtors hereunder shall be joint and several.
16. This Security Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain Security Agreement dated April 13, 2023 by and between Company and Secured Party (as amended, the “Original Security Agreement”). This Security Agreement shall not effect a novation of the obligations of the parties under the Original Security Agreement, but instead shall be merely a restatement and, where applicable, an amendment of the terms governing such obligations. All references in the Notes and the Purchase Agreement to the Security Agreement shall refer to the Original Security Agreement as amended and restated by this Security Agreement.
