and to all Proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons
whatsoever.
4.3 Preservation of
Rights. Whether or not any Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing, the Secured Party and its Representative may, but shall not be
required to, take any steps the Secured Party or its Representative deems
necessary or appropriate to preserve any Collateral or any rights against third
parties to any of the Collateral, including obtaining insurance for the
Collateral at any time when such Debtor has failed to do so, and Debtors shall
promptly pay, or reimburse the Secured Party for, all expenses incurred in
connection therewith.
11
4.4 Formation of Subsidiaries;
Name Change; Location; Bailees.
(a) No
Debtor shall form or acquire any subsidiary unless (i) such Debtor pledges all
of the stock of such subsidiary to the Secured Party (in the case of Company,
pursuant to the existing pledge agreement by Company in favor of the Secured
Party or, with respect to a Debtor other than Company, pursuant to a pledge
agreement in form and substance acceptable to Secured Party), (ii) such
subsidiary becomes a party to this Agreement and all other applicable Security
Documents and (iii) the formation or acquisition of such Subsidiary is not
prohibited by the terms of the transaction documents.
(b) No
Debtor shall (i) reincorporate or reorganize itself under the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or
organized as of the date hereof without the prior written consent of Secured
Party, (ii) change its legal name without notifying the Secured Party in writing
at least 10 days in advance of such change, or (iii) otherwise change its
identity or corporate structure without the prior written consent of Secured
Party. Each Debtor will notify Secured Party promptly in writing at
least ten (10) days prior to any such change described in the immediately prior
sentence or in the proposed use by such Debtor of any tradename or fictitious
business name other than any such name set forth on Schedule II attached
hereto.
(c) Except
for the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business, each Debtor will
keep the Collateral at the locations specified in Schedule
I. Each Debtor will give Secured Party thirty (30) day’s prior
written notice of any change in such Debtor’s chief place of business or of any
new location for any of the Collateral.
(d) If
any Collateral is at any time in the possession or control of any warehousemen,
bailee, consignee or processor, such Debtor shall, upon the request of Secured
Party or its Representative, notify such warehousemen, bailee, consignee or
processor of the Lien and security interest created hereby and shall instruct
such Person to hold all such Collateral for Secured Party’s account subject to
Secured Party’s instructions.
(e) Each
Debtor acknowledges that until this Agreement has been terminated in accordance
with Section 4.12 below, it is not authorized to file any financing statement or
amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement
without the prior written consent of Secured Party and agrees that it will not
do so without the prior written consent of Secured Party, subject to such
Debtor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) to the Uniform Commercial
Code.
(f) No
Debtor shall enter into any Contract that restricts or prohibits the grant to
Secured Party of a security interest in Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments or
payment intangibles or the proceeds of the foregoing.
4.5 Bank Accounts and Securities
Accounts.
(a) On
or prior to the date hereof, the Secured Party and each Debtor, as applicable,
shall enter into an account control agreement or securities account control
agreement, as applicable, which agreement shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party (each, an “Account Control Agreement”),
with each financial institution with which such Debtor maintains from time to
time any Deposit
12
Accounts
(general or special), securities accounts, brokerage accounts or other similar
accounts, which financial institutions are set forth on Schedule VI attached
hereto. Pursuant to the Account Control Agreements and pursuant
hereto, each such Debtor grants and shall grant to the Secured Party a
continuing lien upon, and security interest in, all such accounts and all funds
at any time paid, deposited, credited or held in such accounts (whether for
collection, provisionally or otherwise) or otherwise in the possession of such
financial institutions, and each such financial institution shall act as the
Secured Party’s agent in connection therewith. Following the Closing
Date, no Debtor shall establish any new Deposit Account, securities account,
brokerage account or other similar account with any financial institution unless
prior thereto, the Secured Party and such Debtor shall have entered into an
Account Control Agreement with such financial institution which purports to
cover such account. Each Debtor shall deposit and keep on deposit all
of its funds into a Deposit Account which is subject to an Account Control
Agreement.
(b) Upon
the Secured Party’s request following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, each Debtor shall establish lock-box or blocked accounts
(collectively, “Blocked
Accounts”) in such Debtor’s name with such banks as are reasonably
acceptable to the Secured Party (“Collecting Banks”), subject to
irrevocable instructions in a form reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party,
to which the obligors of all Accounts shall directly remit all payments on
Accounts and in which such Debtor will immediately deposit all cash payments for
Inventory or other cash payments constituting proceeds of Collateral in the
identical form in which such payment was made, whether by cash or
check. In addition, the Secured Party may establish one or more
depository accounts at each Collecting Bank or at a centrally located bank
(collectively, the “Depository
Account”). All amounts held or deposited in the Blocked
Accounts held by such Collecting Bank shall be transferred to the Depository
Account without any further notice or action required by Secured
Party. Subject to the foregoing, each Debtor hereby agrees that all
payments received by the Secured Party whether by cash, check, wire transfer or
any other instrument, made to such Blocked Accounts or otherwise received by the
Secured Party and whether in respect of the Accounts or as proceeds of other
Collateral or otherwise will be the sole and exclusive property of the Secured
Party. Each Debtor, and any of its Affiliates, employees, agents and
other Persons acting for or in concert with such Debtor shall, acting as trustee
for the Secured Party, receive, as the sole and exclusive property of the
Secured Party, any moneys, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to
and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into the possession
or under the control of such Debtor or any Affiliates, employees, agent or other
Persons acting for or in concert with such Debtor, and immediately upon receipt
thereof, such Debtor or Persons shall deposit the same or cause the same to be
deposited in kind, in a Blocked Account.
4.6 Events of Default,
Etc. During the period during which an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing:
(a) each
Debtor shall, at the request of the Secured Party or its Representative,
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party or its
Representative at a place or places designated by the Secured Party or its
Representative which are reasonably convenient to Secured Party or its
Representative, as applicable, and such Debtor;
13
(b) the
Secured Party or its Representative may make any reasonable compromise or
settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend
the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify
the terms of, any of the Collateral;
(c) the
Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the
Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not
said Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights
and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a
secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any
rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation,
the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to: (i) exercise all voting,
consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the
Secured Party were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Debtor agrees
to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right) and
(ii) to the appointment of a receiver or receivers for all or any part of the
Collateral or business of a Debtor, whether such receivership be incident to a
proposed sale or sales of such Collateral or otherwise and without regard to the
value of the Collateral or the solvency of any person or persons liable for the
payment of the Liabilities secured by such Collateral. Each Debtor
hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver or receivers, waives any and
all defenses to such appointment and agrees that such appointment shall in no
manner impair, prejudice or otherwise affect the rights of Secured Party under
this Agreement. Each Debtor hereby expressly waives notice of a
hearing for appointment of a receiver and the necessity for bond or an
accounting by the receiver;
(d) the
Secured Party or its Representative in their discretion may, in the name of the
Secured Party or in the name of a Debtor or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect
or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of
or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do
so;
(e) the
Secured Party or its Representative may take immediate possession and occupancy
of any premises owned, used or leased by a Debtor (subject to the terms of any
lease relating thereto) and exercise all other rights and remedies which may be
available to the Secured Party;
(f) the
Secured Party may, upon reasonable notice (such reasonable notice to be
determined by Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion) to Debtors of
the time and place, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which
shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control
of the Secured Party or its Representative, sell, lease, license, assign or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places
as the Secured Party deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future
delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale,
without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such
disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required
above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Secured Party or
anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, licensee, assignee or recipient of any
or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent
permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely,
free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity
of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of Debtors, any such demand, notice and
right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. The
Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private
sale or
14
cause the
same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the
sale may be so adjourned; and
(g) the
rights, remedies and powers conferred by this Section 4.6 are in addition to,
and not in substitution for, any other rights, remedies or powers that the
Secured Party may have under any transaction document, at law, in equity or by
or under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other statute or
agreement. The Secured Party may proceed by way of any action, suit
or other proceeding at law or in equity and no right, remedy or power of the
Secured Party will be exclusive of or dependent on any other. The
Secured Party may exercise any of its rights, remedies or powers separately or
in combination and at any time.
The
proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.6 shall be
applied in accordance with Section 4.9
hereof.
4.7 Deficiency. If
the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral
are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the
payment in full of the Liabilities, Debtors shall remain liable for any
deficiency.
4.8 Private
Sale. Each Debtor recognizes that the Secured Party may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral consisting of
securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Act”), and applicable state
securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices
and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public
sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale
shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a
sale of any of the Collateral to permit a Debtor to register such Collateral for
public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if
Debtors would agree to do so. The Secured Party shall not incur any
liability as a result of the sale of any such Collateral, or any part thereof,
at any private sale provided for in this Agreement conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner, and each Debtor hereby waives any claims against the Secured
Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may
have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have
been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the
Liabilities, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does
not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
Each
Debtor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things
as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion or all of any such
Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws,
regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all
courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign,
having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Debtor’s expense,
provided that
Debtors shall be under no obligation to take any action to enable any or all of
such Collateral to be registered under the provisions of the
Act. Each Debtor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in this Section 4.8 will
cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no
adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees
that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4.8 shall be
specifically enforceable against Debtors, and each Debtor hereby waives and
agrees not to assert
15
any
defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for
a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
4.9 Application of
Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection, sale or other
realization of all or any part of the Collateral, and any other cash at the time
held by the Secured Party under this Agreement, shall be applied in the manner
set forth in the Note (or, if not so set forth, in a manner acceptable to, and
at the election of, the Secured Party).
4.10 Attorney-in-Fact. Each
Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party, with full
power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Debtor and in the
name of such Debtor or in its own name, from time to time in the discretion of
the Secured Party, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement,
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 perfect or
protect any security interest granted hereunder or to maintain the perfection or
priority of any security interest granted hereunder, and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Secured Party the power and right,
on behalf of such Debtor, without notice to or assent by such Debtor, to do the
following upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default:
(a) 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 this Agreement;
(b) to
ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittance and receipts for any and all
moneys due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of such
Debtor or its own name or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and
collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the
payment of moneys due under any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any
other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and all such
moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to
take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise
deemed appropriate by the Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and
all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;
(c) to
pay or discharge charges or liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, to effect any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement
and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor;
(d) to
direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make
payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due thereunder, directly to the
Secured Party or as the Secured Party shall direct, and to receive payment of
and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become
due at any time, in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;
(e) to
sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading,
storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other Documents
constituting or relating to the Collateral;
16
(f) to
commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in
any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part
thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any
Collateral;
(g) to
defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against a Debtor with respect to
any Collateral;
(h) to
settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and,
in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Secured
Party may deem appropriate;
(i) to
the extent that a Debtor’s authorization given in Section 4.1(b) of
this Agreement is not sufficient to file such financing statements with respect
to this Agreement, with or without such Debtor’s signature, or to file a
photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the
Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in such Debtor’s name such
financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which
may require such Debtor’s signature; and
(j) generally
to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Secured Party
were the absolute owners thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Secured
Party’s option and at such Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time,
all acts and things which the Secured Party reasonably deems necessary to
protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s lien
therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as such Debtor might do.
Each
Debtor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that such attorneys
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of
attorney granted hereunder is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable until the Liabilities are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and this
Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 4.12
hereof.
Each
Debtor also authorizes the Secured Party, at any time from and after the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (x) to
communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the
assignment of the right, title and interest of such Debtor in and under the
Contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (y) to execute, in
connection with any sale of Collateral provided for in Section 4.6 hereof,
any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to the Collateral.
4.11 Perfection. Prior
to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each
Debtor shall:
(a) file
such financing statements, assignments for security and other documents in such
offices as may be necessary or as the Secured Party or the Representative may
request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3 of this
Agreement; and
(b) at
Secured Party’s request, deliver to the Secured Party or its Representative the
originals of all Instruments together with, in the case of Instruments
constituting promissory notes, allonges attached thereto showing such promissory
notes to be payable to the order of a blank payee.
17
4.12 Termination. This
Agreement and the Liens and security interests granted hereunder shall not
terminate until the termination of the Note and the full and complete
performance and indefeasible satisfaction of all the Liabilities (i) in respect
of the Note (including, without limitation, the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of all such Liabilities) and (ii) with respect to which claims have been
asserted by the Secured Party, whereupon the Secured Party shall forthwith cause
to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any
recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral to or
on the order of Debtors, at which time this Agreement and Liens granted pursuant
hereto shall automatically terminate. The Secured Party shall also
execute and deliver to Debtors upon such termination and at Debtors’ expense
such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, certificates for
terminating the liens on the Motor Vehicles (if any) and such other
documentation as shall be reasonably requested by Debtors to effect the
termination and release of the Liens and security interests in favor of the
Secured Party affecting the Collateral.
4.13 Further
Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of the Secured Party or its Representative, and at the sole
expense of Debtors, Debtors will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and
all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take such further
actions as are necessary or the Secured Party or its Representative may
reasonably require in order for the Secured Party to obtain the full benefits of
this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted in favor of the
Secured Party, including, without limitation, using Debtors’ commercially
reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate
for the assignment to the Secured Party of any Collateral held by Debtors or in
which a Debtor has any rights not heretofore assigned, the filing of any
financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code with
respect to the liens and security interests granted hereby, transferring
Collateral to the Secured Party’s possession (if a security interest in such
Collateral can be perfected by possession), placing the interest of the Secured
Party as lienholder on the certificate of title of any Motor Vehicle and
obtaining waivers of liens from landlords and mortgagees. Each Debtor
also hereby authorizes the Secured Party and its Representative to file any such
financing or continuation statement without the signature of such Debtor to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
4.14 Limitation on Duty of
Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Secured Party under
this Agreement are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that
it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither the
Secured Party nor its Representative nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtors for any act or
failure to act, except for willful misconduct. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Secured Party and any Representative shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in
their possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equivalent to that which the relevant Secured Party or any Representative, in
its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of the type of
Collateral involved, it being understood and agreed that neither the Secured
Party nor any Representative shall have any responsibility for taking any
necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care
set forth above) to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any
Collateral.
Also
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Secured Party nor
any Representative shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract or
license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting to the
Secured Party of a security interest therein or assignment thereof or the
receipt by the Secured Party or any Representative of any payment relating to
any Contract or license pursuant hereto, nor shall the Secured Party or any
18
Representative
be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the
obligations of Debtors under or pursuant to any Contract or license, or to make
any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any
payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under
any Contract or license, or to present or file any claim, 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.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
5.1 No
Waiver. No failure on the part of the Secured Party or any of
its Representatives to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and
no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a
