5. Distribution on Liquidation.
5.1 If any sum is paid as a liquidating distribution on or with respect to the Collateral, Debtor shall deliver same to the Collateral Agent to be applied to the Obligations, then due, in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes.
5.2 So long as no Event of Default exists, Debtor shall be entitled (i) to exercise all voting power pertaining to any of the Collateral, provided such exercise is not contrary to the interests of the Lenders and does not impair the Collateral and (ii) may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest payments or other distributions paid in respect of the Collateral.
5.3. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all rights of Debtor, upon notice given by Collateral Agent, to exercise the voting power and receive payments, which it would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to Section 5.2, shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting power and receive such payments.
5.4 All dividends, distributions, interest and other payments which are received by Debtor contrary to the provisions of Section 5.3 shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of Debtor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Collateral Agent as Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Collateral Agent as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
6. Further Action By Debtor; Covenants and Warranties.
6.1 Collateral Agent at all times shall have a perfected security interest in the Collateral. Subject only to the security interests described on Schedule 6.1 hereto, Debtor has and will continue to have full title to the Collateral free from any liens, leases, encumbrances, judgments or other claims. Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral constitutes and will continue to constitute a first, prior and indefeasible security interest in favor of Collateral Agent. Debtor will do all acts and things, and will execute and file all instruments (including, but not limited to, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by Collateral Agent to establish, maintain and continue the perfected security interest of Collateral Agent in the Collateral, and will promptly on demand, pay all costs and expenses of filing and recording, including the costs of any searches reasonably deemed
4
necessary by Collateral Agent from time to time to establish and determine the validity and the continuing priority of the security interest of Collateral Agent, and also pay all other claims and charges that, in the opinion of Collateral Agent, exercised in good faith, are reasonably likely to materially prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or Collateral Agent’s or Lenders’ security interests therein.
6.2 Other than in the ordinary course of business, and except for Collateral which is substituted by assets of identical or greater value or which has become obsolete or is of inconsequential in value, Debtor will not sell, transfer, assign or pledge those items of Collateral (or allow any such items to be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged), without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent other than a transfer of the Collateral to a wholly-owned subsidiary on prior notice to Collateral Agent, and provided the Collateral remains subject to the security interest herein described. Although Proceeds of Collateral are covered by this Agreement, this shall not be construed to mean that Collateral Agent consents to any sale of the Collateral, except as provided herein. Sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business shall be free of the security interest of Lenders and Collateral Agent and Lenders and Collateral Agent shall promptly execute such documents (including without limitation releases and termination statements) as may be required by Debtor to evidence or effectuate the same.
6.3 Debtor will, at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, allow Collateral Agent or its representatives free and complete access to the Collateral and all of Debtor’s records which in any way relate to the Collateral, for such inspection and examination as Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary.
6.4 Debtor, at its sole cost and expense, will protect and defend this Security Agreement, all of the rights of Collateral Agent and Lenders hereunder, and the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons.
6.5 Debtor will promptly notify Collateral Agent of any levy, distraint or other seizure by legal process or otherwise of any part of the Collateral, and of any threatened or filed claims or proceedings that are reasonably likely to affect or impair any of the rights of Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement in any material respect.
6.6 Debtor, at its own expense, will obtain and maintain in force insurance policies covering losses or damage to those items of Collateral which constitute physical personal property. The insurance policies to be obtained by Debtor shall be in form and amounts reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent. Debtor shall make the Collateral Agent first a loss payee thereon to the extent of its interest in the Collateral. Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably (until the Obligations are paid in full) appointed Debtor’ attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or draft that may be payable to Debtor so that Collateral Agent may collect the proceeds payable for any loss under such insurance. The proceeds of such insurance (subject to the rights of senior secured parties), less any costs and expenses incurred or paid by Collateral Agent in the collection thereof, shall be applied either toward the cost of the repair or replacement of the items damaged or destroyed, or on account of any sums secured hereby, whether or not then due or payable.
6.7 Collateral Agent may, at its option, and without any obligation to do so, pay, perform and discharge any and all amounts, costs, expenses and liabilities herein agreed to be paid or performed by Debtor. Upon Debtor’s failure to do so, all amounts expended by Collateral Agent in so doing shall become part of the Obligations secured hereby, and shall be immediately due and payable by Debtor to Collateral Agent upon demand and shall bear interest at the lesser of 15% per annum or the highest legal amount from the dates of such expenditures until paid.
5
6.8 Upon the request of Collateral Agent, Debtor will furnish to Collateral Agent within five (5) business days thereafter, or to any proposed assignee of this Security Agreement, a written statement in form reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, duly acknowledged, certifying the amount of the principal and interest and any other sum then owing under the Obligations, whether to its knowledge any claims, offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations or against this Security Agreement, or any of the terms and provisions of any other agreement of Debtor securing the Obligations. In connection with any assignment by Collateral Agent of this Security Agreement, Debtor hereby agrees to cause the insurance policies required hereby to be carried by Debtor, if any, to be endorsed in form satisfactory to Collateral Agent or to such assignee, with loss payable clauses in favor of such assignee, and to cause such endorsements to be delivered to Collateral Agent within ten (10) calendar days after request therefor by Collateral Agent.
6.9 Debtor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other reasonable assurances or instruments and take further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require to perfect its security interest hereunder.
6.10 Debtor represents and warrants that it is the true and lawful exclusive owner of the Collateral, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances.
6.11 Debtor hereby agrees not to divest itself of any right under the Collateral except as permitted herein absent prior written approval of the Collateral Agent, except to a subsidiary organized and located in the United States on prior notice to Collateral Agent provided the Collateral remains subject to the security interest herein described.
6.12 Debtor shall cause each Subsidiary of Debtor not in existence on the date hereof to execute and deliver to Collateral Agent promptly and in any event within 10 days after the formation, acquisition or change in status thereof (A) a guaranty guaranteeing the Obligations and (B) a security and pledge agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement together with (x) certificates evidencing all of the capital stock of any entity owned by such Subsidiary, (y) undated stock powers executed in blank with signature guaranteed, and (z) such opinion of counsel and such approving certificate of such Subsidiary as Collateral Agent may reasonably request in respect of complying with any legend on any such certificate or any other matter relating to such shares and (E) such other agreements, instruments, approvals, legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Collateral Agent in order to create, perfect, establish the first priority of or otherwise protect any lien purported to be covered by any such pledge and security agreement or otherwise to effect the intent that all property and assets of such Subsidiary shall become Collateral for the Obligations. For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any entity at any date, any corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, association, joint venture or other business entity) of which more than 50% of (A) the outstanding capital stock having (in the absence of contingencies) ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other managing body of such entity, (B) in the case of a partnership or limited liability company, the interest in the capital or profits of such partnership or limited liability company or (C) in the case of a trust, estate, association, joint venture or other entity, the beneficial interest in such trust, estate, association or other entity business is, at the time of determination, owned or controlled directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, by such entity.
6
7. Power of Attorney.
After the occurrence and during the uncured continuation of an Event of Default, as defined in Section 9 below, Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent as the true and lawful attorney of Debtor, with full power of substitution, in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or otherwise, at any time or times, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, to take any action and to execute any instrument or document which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Obligations are satisfied.
8. Performance By The Collateral Agent.
If Debtor fails to perform any material covenant, agreement, duty or obligation of Debtor under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, after any applicable cure period, at any time or times in its discretion, take action to effect performance of such obligation. All reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the foregoing authorization shall be payable by Debtor as provided in Paragraph 12.1 hereof. No discretionary right, remedy or power granted to the Collateral Agent under any part of this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any obligation whatsoever on the Collateral Agent with respect thereto, such rights, remedies and powers being solely for the protection of the Collateral Agent.
9. Event of Default.
An event of default (“Event of Default”) shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined and described in this Agreement, in the Notes, Subscription Agreement, and any other agreement to which Debtor and a Lender are parties. Upon and after any Event of Default, after the applicable cure period, if any, any or all of the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and the Collateral Agent may dispose of Collateral as provided below. A default by Debtor of any of its material obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be an Event of Default hereunder and an event of default as defined in the Notes, and Subscription Agreement.
10. Disposition of Collateral.
Upon and after any Event of Default which is then continuing,
10.1 The Collateral Agent may exercise its rights with respect to each and every component of the Collateral, without regard to the existence of any other security or source of payment for the Obligations. In addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a lender on default under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the State of New York.
10.2 In the event of any sale or other disposition of Collateral is to occur, the Collateral Agent shall provide Debtor with at least five business (5) days prior written notice (which Debtor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9.612(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code) of the time and place of any sale of Collateral which Debtor hereby agrees may be by private sale. The rights granted in this Section are in addition to any and all rights available to Collateral Agent under the Uniform Commercial Code.
10.3 The Collateral Agent is authorized, at any such sale, if the Collateral Agent deems it advisable to do so, in order to comply with any applicable securities laws, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree, among other things, that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale
7
thereof, or otherwise to restrict such sale in such other manner as the Collateral Agent deems advisable to ensure such compliance. Sales made subject to such restrictions shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
10.4 All proceeds received by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in respect of any sale, collection or other enforcement or disposition of Collateral, shall be applied (after deduction of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Paragraph 12.1 hereof) against the Obligations pro rata among the Lenders in proportion to their interests in the Obligations. Upon payment in full of all Obligations, Debtor shall be entitled to the return of all Collateral, including cash, which has not been used or applied toward the payment of Obligations or used or applied to any and all costs or expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral (unless another person is legally entitled thereto). Any assignment of Collateral by the Collateral Agent to Debtor shall be without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever and wholly without recourse. To the extent allowed by law, each Lender may purchase the Collateral and pay for such purchase by offsetting up to such Lender’s pro rata portion of the purchase price with sums owed to such Lender by Debtor arising under the Obligations or any other source.
11. Waiver of Automatic Stay. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against Debtor, or if any of the Collateral should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Collateral Agent should be entitled to, among other relief to which the Collateral Agent or Lenders may be entitled under the Note, Subscription Agreement and any other agreement to which the Debtor, Lenders or Collateral Agent are parties, (collectively “Loan Documents”) and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. Debtor EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362. FURTHERMORE, Debtor EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW. Debtor hereby consents to any motion for relief from stay which may be filed by the Collateral Agent in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by or against Debtor, and further agrees not to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Collateral Agent. Debtor represents, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is a specific and material aspect of this Agreement, and that the Collateral Agent would not agree to the terms of this Agreement if this waiver were not a part of this Agreement. Debtor further represents, acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Collateral Agent nor any person acting on behalf of the Collateral Agent has made any representations to induce this waiver, that Debtor has been represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in the signing of this Agreement and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by Debtor and that Debtor has had the opportunity to discuss this waiver with counsel.
12. Miscellaneous.
12.1 Expenses. Debtor shall pay to the Collateral Agent, on demand, the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and brokers’ fees, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (a) sale, collection or other enforcement or disposition of Collateral; (b) exercise or enforcement of any the rights, remedies or powers of the Collateral Agent hereunder or with respect to any or all of the Obligations upon breach or threatened breach; or (c) failure
8
by Debtor to perform and observe any agreements of Debtor contained herein which are performed by the Collateral Agent.
12.2 Waivers, Amendment and Remedies. No course of dealing by the Collateral Agent and no failure by the Collateral Agent to exercise, or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power of the Collateral Agent. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent to any departure by Debtor therefrom, shall, in any event, be effective unless contained in a writing signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent, not only hereunder, but also under any instruments and agreements evidencing or securing the Obligations and under applicable law are cumulative, and may be exercised by the Collateral Agent from time to time in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect.
