Debtor irrevocably authorizes Secured Party and grants the Secured Party a limited power of attorney in the name and on behalf of the Debtor or, at its option, in its own name, to take any other action deemed by the Secured Party to be necessary or desirable to establish, perfect, protect or enforce the security interest granted herein. All of the Secured Party’s advances, fees, charges, costs and expenses, including but not limited to audit fees and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, in connection with the Obligations and in the protection and exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder, together with interest thereon at the highest rate then applicable to any of the Obligations, shall be secured hereunder and shall be paid by the Debtor to the Secured Party on demand. | ||
9. | Default. In the event of any of any of the following: | ||
(a) | If Debtor shall default in the payment, when due and payable, of any of the Obligations payable by Debtor and such default shall continue for a period of five (5) days following written notice; or | ||
(b) | If Debtor shall default in the performance of any other covenant contained herein or in any of the Definitive Agreements and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice; or | ||
(c) | If any warranty, representation, or statement made or furnished to Secured Party by Debtor herein or in any Digital Signage Agreement proves to have been false in any material respect when made or furnished; or | ||
(d) | If Debtor shall obtain new or additional financing (the “New Financing”), whether in the form of equity or debt, from any third party other than affiliated funds of Prentice Capital Management, |
4
LP in an amount in excess of $1,000,000 and shall have failed to apply the net proceeds of
such New Financing (net of broker, underwriter accountant, attorney and other professional fees and
expenses and other reasonable and customary costs and expenses incurred in connection with such New
Financing) in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations; or
(e) | If bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings are instituted against or by Debtor or if Debtor makes and assignment for the benefit of creditors, |
(such events in (a) through (e) above being individually and collectively an “Event of Default”),
then Secured Party may at its option and without notice declare this Security Agreement in default
and the unpaid balance of any note or notes constituting an Obligation of Debtor to Secured Party,
and the balance of any account owed by Debtor to Secured Party, immediately due and payable.
Secured Party shall thereupon have the remedies of a secured party (in addition to and in
conjunction with all other rights and remedies, and not as an election of remedies) including,
without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral and for that purpose Secured
Party may enter upon any premises on which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and
remove the same therefrom. Debtor agrees upon request of Secured Party to promptly assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place designated by Secured Party. Notice
of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale is to be made,
when required by law, shall be deemed reasonable if given at least ten (10) days before such sale
to the address set forth in the introduction to this Agreement. Such notification may be
established by affidavit of a representative of Secured Party, receipts, or other reasonable
method.
Secured Party may apply the proceeds obtained upon disposition of the Collateral in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Section 9-615 of the UCC. By this provision, Debtor specifically
grants to the Secured Party the right to apply such proceeds to reasonable attorney’s fees and
expenses of all types incurred by the Secured Party in connection with its negotiations with the
Debtor, representatives successors and assigns, the collection of the Obligations, the repossession
and disposition of the Collateral or protection of the Secured Party’s position. All remaining
proceeds may be applied by the Secured Party to payment of the Obligations in such order and
proportion as the Secured Party may deem advisable in its discretion, subject,
however, to the limitations set forth in paragraph 2 on the maximum amount secured by this
Security Agreement.
10. | Limited Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Secured Party hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto. Debtor shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Secured Party shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Debtor. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Secured Party shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. | ||
11. | Continuing Agreement. | ||
(a) | This Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding and thereafter until terminated by written notice delivered by Debtor to Secured Party. Upon such payment and termination, this |
5
Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Secured Party shall, upon the request and
at the expense of the Debtor, forthwith release all of its liens and security interests hereunder
and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably
requested by the Debtor evidencing such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all releases
and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(b) | This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Secured Party in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Obligations, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in paragraph 2 on the maximum amount secured by this Security Agreement. | ||
12. | General. Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights hereunder or under any other agreement, instrument or paper signed by Debtor unless such waiver be in writing and signed by Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. Secured Party may remedy any Event of Default without waiving the default remedied or without waiving any other prior or subsequent default. All of Secured Party’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced hereby or by any other agreement, instrument or paper, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Any demand upon or notice to Debtor shall be effective when deposited in the U.S. mails addressed to Debtor at the address shown at the beginning of this Agreement. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity and performance, shall be governed by the law of the State of Minnesota without regard to such State’s principles of conflict of laws. |
All terms in this Agreement that are defined in the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code, as
amended from time to time (the “UCC”) shall have the meanings set forth in the UCC, and such
meanings shall automatically change at the time that any amendment to the UCC, which changes such
meanings, shall become effective. No notice or other communication by the Debtor to the Secured
Party, which relates to any of the Obligations, the security interest or the Collateral, shall be
effective until it is received by the Secured Party at the Secured Party’s address stated above.
This Security Agreement shall not be assignable by Debtor nor shall Debtor’s rights or duties
hereunder be delegable without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Any attempt by Debtor
to assign or otherwise transfer this Security Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder,
including without limitation assignment or transfer by operation of law, in violation of the
foregoing shall be void. Secured Party shall have the right to assign this Security Agreement, at
any time from and after December 31, 2007, upon written notice to Debtor. Nothing contained in
this Security Agreement is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies or obligations under or by reason
of this Security Agreement. “Debtor” and “Secured Party” as used in this Security Agreement
include the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns of those parties.
13. | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or by electronic means and may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one agreement. | ||
14. | Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement and the items incorporated herein contain all the agreements of the parties with respect to the matters contained herein. No prior agreement, |
6
representation, warranty or understanding, whether oral or written pertaining to any such
matter shall be effective for any purpose.
DEBTOR REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO THE SECURED PARTY AND AGREES THAT DEBTOR HAS READ ALL OF
THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDS ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
