DEFAULT;
REMEDIES; SUBSTITUTE COLLATERAL
Section
5.1 Method
of Realizing Upon the Pledged Property: Other Remedies.
If
any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The
Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged Property, in addition
to
any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to
it,
all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform
Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code applies to the
affected Pledged Property), and also may (i) take absolute control of the
Pledged Property, including, without limitation, transfer into the Secured
Party's name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the
Secured Party has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the
benefit of the Secured Party, all payments made thereon, give all consents,
waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect
thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require the
Company to assemble all or part of the Pledged Property as directed by the
Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place or places
to
be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both
parties, and the Secured Party may enter into and occupy any premises owned
or
leased by the Company where the Pledged Property or any part thereof is located
or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Secured Party's
rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to the Company
in
respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified
below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Pledged Property
for
sale, (A) sell the Pledged Property or any part thereof in one or more
parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party's offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or
prices and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially
reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Pledged Property or
any part thereof upon such terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially
reasonable. The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other
disposition of the Pledged Property shall be required by law, at least ten
(10)
days' notice to the Company of the time and place of any public sale or the
time
after which any private sale or other disposition of the Pledged Property is
to
be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not
be
obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Pledged Property
regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn
any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at
the
time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Company hereby waives any
claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price
at
which the Pledged Property may have been sold at 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 Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the
first
offer received and does not offer such Pledged Property to more than one
offeree, and waives all rights that the Company may have to require that all
or
any part of such Pledged Property be marshaled upon any sale (public or private)
thereof. The Company hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the
Pledged Property by the Secured Party may be made without warranty,
(ii) the Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title,
possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth
in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any such sale of Pledged Property.
4
(b) Any
cash
held by the Secured Party as Pledged Property and all cash proceeds received
by
the Secured Party in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other
realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged Property shall be applied
(after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section
8.3 hereof) by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations
in
such order as the Secured Party shall elect, consistent with the provisions
of
the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds
held by the Secured Party and remaining after the indefeasible payment in full
in cash of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction
shall direct.
5
(c) In
the
event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled,
the Company shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon
at the rate specified in the Convertible Notes for interest on overdue principal
thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with
the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other
client charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such
deficiency.
(d) The
Company hereby acknowledges that if the Secured Party complies with any
applicable state, provincial, or federal law requirements in connection with
a
disposition of the Pledged Property, such compliance will not adversely affect
the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged
Property.
(e) The
Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Pledged
Property) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of
them
or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in
any
particular order, and all of the Secured Party's rights hereunder and in respect
of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent
that the Company lawfully may, the Company hereby agrees that it will not invoke
any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in
or
impede the enforcement of the Secured Party's rights under this Agreement or
under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or
under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the
Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the
extent that it lawfully may, the Company hereby irrevocably waives the benefits
of all such laws.
Section
5.2 Duties
Regarding Pledged Property.
The
Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the
Pledged Property or any income thereon or as to the preservation of any rights
pertaining thereto, beyond the safe custody and reasonable care of any of the
Pledged Property actually in the Secured Party’s possession.
