Section 8.05 Indemnification.
(a) Zogenix hereby indemnifies and holds CHRP and its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees and agents (each a “CHRP Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses (including all Losses in connection with any product liability claims or claims of infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property rights of any Third Parties to the extent that such Losses are directly or indirectly incurred by a CHRP Indemnified Party) incurred or suffered by any CHRP Indemnified Party as a result of a claim by a Third Party arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any actual or proposed use of the amounts paid to Zogenix by CHRP pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents, and any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by Zogenix in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by Zogenix in writing pursuant hereto or thereto, or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by Zogenix pursuant to any Transaction Document, including any failure by Zogenix to satisfy any of the Excluded Liabilities and Obligations, to the extent that any of the foregoing Losses are not caused by a CHRP Indemnified Party or otherwise subject to indemnification by CHRP pursuant to Section 8.05(b).
(b) CHRP hereby indemnifies and holds Zogenix, its Affiliates and any of their respective, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents (each a “Zogenix Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Zogenix Indemnified Party as a result of a claim by a Third Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by CHRP in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by CHRP in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by CHRP pursuant to any Transaction Document to the extent that any of the foregoing Losses are not caused by a Zogenix Indemnified Party or otherwise subject to indemnification by Zogenix pursuant to Section 8.05(a).
(c) If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the
- 38 -
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.05 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of, or has a material adverse effect on the exercise or prosecution of, substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party and such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8.05 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of such counsel. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
Section 8.06 Independent Nature of Relationship.
(a) The relationship between Zogenix and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and CHRP, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and a borrower and an assignor and assignee, and neither CHRP, on the one hand, nor Zogenix or its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, has any fiduciary or other special relationship with the other or any of their respective Affiliates.
(b) No officer or employee of CHRP will be located at the premises of Zogenix or any of its Affiliates, except in connection with an audit performed pursuant to Section 5.02. No officer, manager or employee of CHRP shall engage in any commercial activity with Zogenix or any of its Affiliates other than as contemplated herein and in the other Transaction Documents.
- 39 -
Section 8.07 Tax.
(a) For United States federal, state and local tax purposes, Zogenix and CHRP [***]. Each Party hereto agrees [***] unless (i) the other Party to this Agreement has consented to such actions, or (ii) as a result of a material change in applicable law following the date hereof, counsel for such Party has advised it in writing that it is more likely than not (x) [***], as amended.
(b) Except for any withholding triggered by any change of domicile of CHRP, all payments to CHRP under this Agreement shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax.
(c) This Agreement is not intended to create a deemed partnership, association or joint venture between CHRP and Zogenix. Each Party agrees not to refer to the other as a “partner” or the relationship as a “partnership” or “joint venture”.
Section 8.08 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with the Disclosure Schedule, that certain letter from Zogenix to CHRP, dated June 30, 2011, and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto (each of which is incorporated herein by reference), and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements (including [***]), understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the Prior CDA. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein (or in the Exhibits, Schedules or other Transaction Documents) has been made or relied upon by either Party hereto. Neither this Agreement, nor any provision hereof, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
Section 8.09 Amendments; No Waivers.
(a) This Agreement or any term or provision hereof may not be amended, changed or modified except with the written consent of the Parties hereto. No waiver of any right hereunder shall be effective unless such waiver is signed in writing by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.
(b) No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 8.13 Severability.

Section 8.14 Expenses.
Zogenix shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with entering into and consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

19. Actions Upon Breach.
(a) If Senior Creditor or Subordinated Creditor, contrary to the terms of this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or Proceeding against Borrower or the Collateral, Borrower, with the prior written consent of the non-breaching creditor, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and such non-breaching creditor may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of the Borrower.

23. WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Xxxxx County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive.

All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court for such relief.

In the event an Event of Default exists, without limiting any of the rights and remedies of CHRP hereunder and under the Financing Agreement, CHRP may, and shall have the right (but not the obligation), to take such steps and institute such suits or proceedings as CHRP may deem advisable or necessary to prevent such acts and conduct and to secure damages and other relief by reason thereof, and to generally take such steps as may be advisable or necessary or proper for the full protection of the rights of the parties. In such event, CHRP may take such steps or institute such suits or proceedings in its own name or in the name of Zogenix or in the names of the parties jointly. CHRP shall give Zogenix notice of any steps taken, or any suits or proceedings instituted by it pursuant to this Section 9.
SECTION 10. Standard of Care.
The powers conferred on CHRP hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of good faith and of reasonable care in the accounting for moneys actually received by CHRP hereunder, CHRP shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. CHRP shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which CHRP accords its own property.
SECTION 11. Remedies Upon Event of Default.
(a) Subject to the rights of Oxford and SVB under the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, in the event of an Event of Default that is not cured or waived by CHRP, CHRP may exercise in respect of the Collateral (I) all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Financing Agreement or otherwise available to it, (II) all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, in all relevant jurisdictions, and (III) the right to:
(i) demand and receive immediate payment in cash equal to an amount that, when taken together with the cumulative amount of cash payments made by Zogenix to CHRP pursuant to the Revenue Interest together with all Fixed Payments immediately prior to such Event of Default, shall equal the greater of (I) 150% of the Revenue Investment Advance and (II) an amount that would generate an internal rate of return to CHRP of 17.0% in respect of the Revenue Investment Advance;
(ii) require Zogenix to, and Zogenix hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of CHRP forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by CHRP and make it available to CHRP at a place and time to be designated by CHRP;
(iii) personally or by agents or attorneys, with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from Zogenix or any other person who has possession of any part thereof, and complete or have completed any activities with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral;
(iv) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff or otherwise enforce or realize upon any and all Collateral, and exercise any and all rights of Zogenix under any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any License Agreement or Material Contract;
(v) extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit and return, upon any terms or conditions, any and all Collateral which includes a monetary obligation and discharge or release the account Zogenix or other obligor, without affecting any of the Secured Obligations; and
(vi) sell, lease, license, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral at such prices or terms as CHRP may deem reasonable, for cash or credit or any other means of payment, with CHRP having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or moratorium of Zogenix, which right or equity of redemption and rights of appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium are hereby expressly waived and released by Zogenix. If any of the Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of by CHRP upon credit terms or for future payment, the Secured Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefore is finally collected by CHRP. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice by CHRP to Zogenix designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Zogenix waives any other notice. In the event CHRP institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, Zogenix waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required; and
(vii) apply the proceeds of the Collateral actually received by CHRP from any sale, lease, license, foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral to payment of any of the Secured Obligations, in whole or in part (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by CHRP with respect thereto or otherwise chargeable to Zogenix) and in such order as CHRP may elect, whether or not then due. Zogenix shall remain liable to CHRP for the payment on demand of any deficiency together with interest at a default rate that is the lower of (1) five hundred (500) basis points greater than the then-applicable annual rate under the Oxford Loan Documents or (2) the maximum rate permitted by law, and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, CHRP shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name of Zogenix, CHRP or otherwise, to enforce rights in and to any Collateral, in which event Zogenix shall, at the request of CHRP, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by CHRP in aid of such enforcement and Zogenix shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify CHRP as provided in Section 13 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 11.
(c) Zogenix hereby grants to CHRP an irrevocable, non-exclusive license, subject to the then-existing or future rights of Licensees, if any, and the rights of Oxford and SVB with respect to the Oxford Lien, if any, exercisable upon an occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to Zogenix, to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by Zogenix, to the extent necessary or useful to CHRP (in CHRP’s sole discretion) to exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer and automatic machinery software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, however that such license will terminate upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations.
(d) CHRP shall be under no obligation whatsoever to marshal any Collateral, or to proceed first against any of the Collateral or other property which is security for the Secured Obligations before proceeding against any other of the Collateral. It is expressly understood and agreed that all of the Collateral or other property which is security for the Secured Obligations stands as equal security for all Secured Obligations, and that CHRP shall have the right to proceed against, sell or dispose of any or all of the Collateral or other property which is security for the Secured Obligations in any order, or simultaneously, as in its sole and absolute discretion it shall determine. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Zogenix irrevocably waives, and agrees that it will not invoke or assert, any law requiring or relating to the marshaling of collateral or any other law which might cause a delay in or impede the enforcement of CHRP’s rights under this Agreement or any other agreement.
(e) From time to time as requested by CHRP, at the sole expense of Zogenix, CHRP or its designee shall have access, prior to an Event of Default, during reasonable business hours and no more frequently than once per year without cause, as determined by CHRP in its reasonable discretion, and on or after an Event of Default, at any time and without limit during the continuance of an Event of Default, to all of the premises where Collateral is located for the purposes of inspecting (and upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, disposing and realizing upon) the Collateral, and all Zogenix’s books and records, and Zogenix shall permit CHRP or its designee to make such copies of such books and records or extracts therefrom as CHRP may reasonably request. Without expense to CHRP, CHRP may use such of Zogenix’s personnel, equipment, including computer equipment, programs, printed output and computer readable media, supplies and premises for the inspection of and, as applicable, realization on Collateral as CHRP, in its sole discretion, deems reasonably appropriate.
SECTION 12. Release of CHRP.
Zogenix hereby releases and exculpates CHRP, its officers, partners, directors, employees, agents, representatives and designees, from any liability arising from any acts under this Agreement or in furtherance thereof, whether as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, whether of omission or commission, and whether based upon any error of judgment or mistake of law or fact, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction. In no event will CHRP have any liability to Zogenix for lost profits or other special, indirect or consequential damages or lost business opportunities, even if advised of the possibility of any or all of the foregoing. This Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Zogenix’s other obligations under this Agreement and the Financing Agreement.
SECTION 13. Expenses.
(a) Zogenix agrees to pay to CHRP upon demand the amount of any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that CHRP may incur in connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of CHRP hereunder, or (iii) the failure by Zogenix to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. Upon an Event of Default that continues, if Zogenix defaults in the performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any License Agreement or Material Contract, CHRP may (but without any obligation to do so) perform same for Zogenix’s account. Any costs and expenses expended by CHRP under this Section 13, if not timely paid by Zogenix, shall be added to the Secured Obligations and chargeable with interest (at the highest rate provided herein) to Zogenix.
(b) The obligations of Zogenix in this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Zogenix’ other obligations under this Agreement and the Financing Agreement.
SECTION 14. Continuing Security Interest; Termination and Release.
(a) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate obligations that by their terms survive the termination of any Transaction Document), (ii) be binding upon Zogenix and its respective successors and permitted assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of CHRP hereunder, to the benefit of CHRP and its successors, transferees and assigns. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Zogenix for liquidation or reorganization, should Zogenix become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of Zogenix’s, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by CHRP, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(b) Upon the occurrence of payment and performance in full of all Secured Obligations (other than inchoate obligations that by their terms survive the termination of any Transaction Document), the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall be returned to Zogenix, provided, however, that CHRP acknowledges that the Liens granted hereunder shall be released on the Multiple Stepdown Date. Upon any such termination or event of release, Zogenix is hereby authorized to, and CHRP will, at Zogenix’s expense, execute and deliver, file or record such documents as Zogenix shall reasonably request or deem appropriate to evidence such termination or release.
SECTION 15. Amendments.
No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Zogenix therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by CHRP and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Zogenix. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
SECTION 16. Notices.
All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Financing Agreement.
SECTION 17. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No failure or delay on the part of CHRP in the exercise of any power, right remedy or privilege hereunder shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such power, right, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 18. Severability.
If a court deems any part of this Agreement unenforceable, the parties agree that only the offending part shall be stricken and that the remaining parts shall be unaffected, and that any such stricken part of this Agreement shall be replaced by a valid provision which shall implement the commercial purpose of such stricken part.
SECTION 19. Headings and Captions.

Nothing herein shall affect the right of a party to serve process on the other party in any other manner permitted by law. In the event of any litigation under this Section 20, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by the prevailing party in connection with asserting or enforcing such action hereunder, including in the case CHRP is the prevailing party in connection with any Bankruptcy Event with respect to Zogenix and the non-prevailing party agrees to reimburse and indemnify the prevailing party for such expenses.
SECTION 21. Waiver of Jury Trial.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder.

JOINT PRESS RELEASE
Zogenix Enters $30 Million Royalty Financing Agreement
With Xxxxx Healthcare Royalty Partners
Includes an Additional $1.5 Million Equity Investment
SAN DIEGO, Calif., June 30, 2011 — Zogenix, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZGNX), a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain, announced today that it has entered into a $30 million royalty financing agreement with Xxxxx Healthcare Royalty Partners II, L.P. (“Xxxxx Royalty”). In addition, Xxxxx Royalty will make an equity investment of $1.5 million in Zogenix common stock and will receive warrants exercisable for 10 years into 225,000 shares of Zogenix common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share.
Under the terms of the structured royalty financing agreement, Xxxxx Royalty will invest $30 million in exchange for 5%, stepping down to 0.5%, of worldwide annual net sales of SUMAVEL® DosePro®, Zohydro™ (hydrocodone bitartrate) extended-release capsules (previously known as ZX002) and other products developed or marketed by Zogenix, co-promotion revenue and out-license revenues generated by Zogenix during the agreement term, subject to certain exclusions. Xxxxx Royalty will also receive fixed payments totaling $30 million, the last of which is payable in the first quarter of 2017, with the royalty obligation continuing through the first quarter of 2018. Concurrent with this agreement, Zogenix amended its $25 million term loan with Oxford Finance Corporation and Silicon Valley Bank to defer principal repayment to February 1, 2012, eliminating $3.7 million of principal payments in 2011.
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Chief Executive Officer of Zogenix commented, “We are very pleased to announce this royalty financing with Xxxxx Royalty. We believe this financing structure provides us with minimally dilutive capital which enables us to continue executing our operating plan. We are presently driving continued adoption of SUMAVEL DosePro, completing Phase 3 clinical development for Zohydro in anticipation of a New Drug Application (NDA) filing by early 2012, and leveraging our DosePro delivery platform for additional CNS products.”
Xxxx X. Xxxxx, Managing Director of Xxxxx Royalty, stated, “Zogenix is ideally positioned to address unmet needs in the CNS and pain markets with its currently promoted product, SUMAVEL DosePro, which addresses the multi-billion dollar migraine market, as well as its development pipeline. Our investment with Zogenix fits our strategy of focusing on unique commercial stage products and companies with attractive risk/reward profiles.”
Leerink Xxxxx LLC acted as financial advisor to Zogenix for this financing. Additional details on the agreement can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K that will be filed by Zogenix with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof.

Section 5. Additional Covenants.
(a) Additional Securities, Rights, Grants or Issuances. Subject to the rights of Oxford with respect to the Oxford Lien, if any, if Pledgor shall receive any of the following regarding the Securities Collateral: (i) any certificate representing a distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination or split of interests, promissory notes or other instruments; (ii) any option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or an exchange for, any Securities Collateral or otherwise; (iii) any distributions payable in
equity interests; or (iv) any distributions of equity interests in connection with a partial or total liquidation, dissolution or reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, then Pledgor shall receive such certificate, instrument, option, right or distribution in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall segregate it from Pledgor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to Pledgee in the exact form received accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, in the form requested by Pledgee, to be held by Pledgee as Securities Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations. Pledgor shall not perform or cause to be performed any acts or omissions that would effect any change, amendment, impairment, substitution, or any of the events, transactions or circumstances in clauses (i) through (iv) above.
(b) Financing Statements. Pledgor hereby authorizes Pledgee to prepare and file such UCC financing statements (including renewal statements) or amendments thereof or supplements thereto or other instruments as Pledgee may from time to time deem necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interests granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction. Pledgor shall execute and deliver to Pledgee such agreements, assignments or instruments (including affidavits, notices, reaffirmations and amendments and restatements of existing documents, as Pledgee may request) and do all such other things as Pledgee may deem necessary or appropriate to assure to Pledgee its security interests hereunder are perfected. To that end, Pledgor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Pledgee, Pledgee’s nominee or any other person whom Pledgee may designate, as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, to effect any such financing statements, or amendments and supplements to financing statements, renewal financing statements, notices or any similar documents which in Pledgee’s discretion would be necessary, appropriate or convenient in order to perfect and maintain perfection of the security interests granted hereunder, such power, being coupled with an interest, being and remaining irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding. Pledgor agrees to xxxx its books and records to reflect the security interest of Pledgee in the Securities Collateral.
Section 6. Voting Rights; Distributions; etc.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled to fully exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers that would otherwise accrue to an owner of the Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of the Transaction Documents and to receive and retain all dividends and other payments in respect of the Securities Collateral to the extent permitted by the Transaction Documents.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default all rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (a) of this subsection shall automatically cease and all such rights shall, subject to the rights of Oxford with respect to the Oxford Lien, if any, thereupon become vested in Pledgee which shall then have the sole right in its discretion to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, and Pledgor hereby grants Pledgee or its nominees Pledgor’s irrevocable and unconditional proxy for this purpose.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the terms hereof and the rights of Oxford with respect to the Oxford Lien, if any, any and all dividends and other payments in respect of the Securities Collateral received by Pledgor will be held in trust for Pledgee, and Pledgor will keep all such amounts separate and apart from all other funds and property so as to be capable of identification as the property of Pledgee, and will deliver these amounts at such time as Pledgee may request to Pledgee in the identical form received, properly endorsed or assigned if required to enable Pledgee to complete collection.
Section 7. Remedies Upon Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Pledge Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as applicable, Pledgee may, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, at any time or from time to time in its sole discretion, exercise any or all of the rights and remedies set forth herein without notice to Pledgor, except as required by law or any of the Transaction Documents, and charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Securities Collateral against the Obligations or any part thereof, including any expenses due in accordance with the Financing Agreement.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, in addition to all other remedies granted to it in this Pledge Agreement or in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, and subject to the rights of Oxford with respect to the Oxford Lien, if any, Pledgee may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor expressly agrees that in any such event Pledgee, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of the time and place of a public sale or the time after a private sale) to or upon Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Securities Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or sell, demand, collect, take possession of, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, liquidate, foreclose, or otherwise dispose of and deliver such Securities Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or at Pledgee’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best in its sole discretion, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Pledgee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales to purchase the whole or any part of such Securities Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived and released to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Securities Collateral, Pledgee may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements
and/or disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like without affecting the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other disposition. Pledgor further agrees, at Pledgee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and to make it available to Pledgee at such places as Pledgee shall reasonably select, whether at Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. Pledgee shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any or all of the Securities Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Pledgee hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Pledgee may in its sole discretion elect, Pledgor remaining liable for any deficiency with respect to such costs and expenses remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so applying such net proceeds and after the payment by the Pledgee of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need Pledgee account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands against Pledgee arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Securities Collateral and Pledgee shall not under any circumstances be liable for any punitive, consequential, or other special damages. Pledgee shall have, with respect to the Securities Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to it at law or in equity or pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other contract or agreement, all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable law, and it is expressly agreed that if Pledgee should proceed to dispose of or utilize the Securities Collateral, or any part thereof, in accordance with the provisions of said law, ten (10) days’ prior written notice by Pledgee to Pledgor shall be deemed to be reasonable notice under any such provision requiring such notice (provided that no prior notice shall be required for Securities Collateral that threatens to decline rapidly in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market). Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Securities Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Securities Collateral shall have been given, and may, upon written notice, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, upon at least ten (10) days’ additional prior notice, and such sale may be made at the time and place to which the same is so adjourned.
(c) Pledgor also agrees to pay all costs and expenses of Pledgee, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred with respect to the collection of any of the Obligations and the enforcement of any of Pledgee’s rights hereunder.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Pledgor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Pledge Agreement or any Securities Collateral.
(e) Pledgee shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Securities Collateral) 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 its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall
be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Pledgee’s rights and remedies under this Pledge 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, Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
(f) Pledgor acknowledges that any sale referred to above may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Pledgee shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such Securities Collateral to register such Securities Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act or other applicable law.
(g) In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, and to the extent permitted under applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, Pledgee may retain all or any portion of the Securities Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations but only after providing the notices required by §§9-620 and 9-621 (or similar provision) of the UCC (or any successor sections of the UCC), and otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law and only in the event that Pledgor does not exercise any right to object to such retention as provided by the UCC or applicable law. Unless and until Pledgee shall have provided such notices and complied with all applicable legal requirements, however, Pledgee shall not be deemed to have retained any Securities Collateral in satisfaction of any Obligations for any reason.
Section 8. Application of Proceeds of Sale. Subject to the rights of Oxford with respect to the Oxford Lien, if any, the proceeds of any sale of Securities Collateral pursuant to Section 7, as well as any Securities Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied by Pledgee in accordance with the terms of the Financing Agreement. Pledgor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds, and acknowledges and agrees that Pledgee shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in Pledgee’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.
Section 9. Continuing Security Interest; Pledgor’s Obligations Not Affected.
(a) This Pledge Agreement creates a continuing security interest in the Securities Collateral and will remain in full force and effect until the irrevocable and indefeasible payment in full of the ultimate balance of the Obligations, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
(b) The obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement of or involving the Pledgor; (ii) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver, by the Pledgee of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any security therefor (including this Pledge Agreement); (iii) any amendment or waiver of any of the terms of the Financing Agreement or any of the Obligations; (iv) any amendment or waiver of any of the terms of any instrument (other than this Pledge Agreement) securing any of the Obligations or (v) the taking of additional security for or any guaranty of any of the Obligations or the release or discharge or termination of any security or guaranty for any of the Obligations; whether or not the Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
(c) This Pledge Agreement is made in connection with that certain Security Agreement dated of even date herewith (the “Security Agreement”), between Pledgor and Pledgee. The Securities Collateral is a part of the “Collateral” under the Security Agreement, and in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of the Security Agreement, the terms of the Security Agreement shall govern.
Section 10. Rights of Pledgee.
(a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein or in the Financing Agreement, Pledgor hereby designates and appoints Pledgee, on behalf of Pledgee, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions, subject to the rights of Oxford with respect to the Oxford Lien, if any, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
i to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust and give discharges and releases concerning the Securities Collateral;
ii to commence and prosecute any actions or proceedings for the purposes of collecting any of the Securities Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;
iii to defend, settle, adjust or compromise any action, suit or proceeding brought with respect to the Securities Collateral and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release;
iv to pay or discharge taxes, security interests, or other Liens on or threatened against the Securities Collateral;
v to direct any parties liable for any payment to make payment on account of the Securities Collateral directly to Pledgee or as Pledgee shall direct;
vi to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Securities Collateral or the Obligations;
vii to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, consents, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Securities Collateral;
viii to authorize, execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that Pledgee may determine necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and Liens granted in this Pledge Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Financing Agreement;
ix to exchange any of the Securities Collateral upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Securities Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as Pledgee may determine;
x to vote for a director, shareholder, partner, manager, or member resolution, or to sign any consent or instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Securities Collateral into the name of Pledgee or Pledgee’s nominee or into the name of any transferee to whom the Securities Collateral of Pledgor or any part thereof may be sold; and
xi to do and perform all such other acts and things as Pledgee may deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with this Pledge Agreement.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding. Pledgee shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to Pledgee in this Pledge Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Pledgee shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on Pledgee solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Securities Collateral.
(b) Assignment by Pledgee. The Pledgee may from time to time assign its rights or obligations hereunder as provided in the Financing Agreement.
(c) Pledgee’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to ensure the safe custody of the Securities Collateral while being held by Pledgee hereunder, Pledgee shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that Pledgor shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Securities Collateral, and Pledgee shall be relieved of all responsibility for Securities Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to Pledgor. Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Securities Collateral in its possession if such Securities Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which Pledgee accords its own property, it being understood that Pledgee shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not Pledgee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any steps or refraining therefrom to preserve rights against any other parties with respect to any Securities Collateral.
(d) Rights and Remedies. Pledgee is entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity in connection with this Pledge Agreement. The rights and remedies of Pledgee hereunder are several and cumulative at Pledgee’s discretion and may be exercised at Pledgee’s discretion. Pledgor waives any right it may have of first requiring Pledgee (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights, security or other claim payment from before claiming from the Pledgor under this Agreement.
(e) Costs of Counsel. If at any time hereafter, Pledgee employs counsel or other experts or advisors to take action or make a response in connection with this Pledge Agreement, the Securities Collateral, or the Financing Agreement, Pledgor agrees to promptly pay upon demand any and all such costs and expenses of Pledgee, all of which costs and expenses shall constitute Obligations.
Section 11. Termination. This Pledge Agreement shall terminate, and all security interests in the Securities Collateral shall automatically terminate and be completely released, when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly and fully paid and satisfied, at which time Pledgee shall release and deliver to Pledgor, or to such person or entity as Pledgor shall designate, against receipt, such of the Securities Collateral (if any) as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied by Pledgee pursuant to the terms hereof and shall still be held by Pledgee under this Pledge Agreement. Any such release shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by Pledgee and at the expense of Pledgor.
Section 12. Further Assurances. Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, reassignments, agreements and instruments, as Pledgee may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Pledge Agreement or with respect to the Securities Collateral or any part thereof, and with respect to the grant, release or termination of Pledgee’s security interest in any of the Securities Collateral, or otherwise in order better to assure and confirm unto Pledgee its rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement and the Security Agreement.
Section 13. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be given in writing as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Financing Agreement.
Section 14. Choice of Law; Jurisdiction.
(a) This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
(b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Pledge Agreement shall be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the state, county and city of New York. Each party hereby submits itself for the purpose of this Pledge Agreement and any controversy arising hereunder to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the County of New York, State of New York, USA, and any courts of appeal therefrom, and waives any objection on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction (including venue) to the exercise of such jurisdiction over it by any such courts.
(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the courts referred to in subsection (b) above of this Section 14 in any such suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth in Section 8.03 of the Financing Agreement. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any suit, action or proceeding commenced hereunder that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of a party to serve process on the other party in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 15. Construction. No provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by reason of such party or its counsel having, or being deemed to have, structured or drafted such provision.
Section 16. Headings, Amendments, Waiver. Section and paragraph headings are for convenience only and shall not be construed as part of this Pledge Agreement. Any modification and amendment shall be in writing and signed by the parties, and any waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or provision shall be in writing and signed by each affected party hereto or thereto, as applicable. A waiver of a breach of any term, covenant or condition of this Pledge Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver of such term, covenant or condition, or breach, or of any other term, covenant or condition, or breach by such party. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy or power provided herein or by law or in equity.
Section 17. Entire Agreement. This Pledge Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written.
Section 18. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Pledgor herein or in the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate, report or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby shall survive any independent investigation made by Pledgee and the execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement, and such certificates, reports or instruments and shall continue so long as any Obligations are outstanding and unsatisfied, applicable statutes of limitations to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 19. Severability. Every provision of this Pledge Agreement is intended to be severable. If, in any jurisdiction, any term or provision hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, (b) any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction, and (c) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall, for purposes of such jurisdiction, be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any covenant or restriction, by the length of time or any other restriction, or portion thereof, set forth in this Pledge Agreement is unreasonable or unenforceable, the court shall reduce or modify such covenants or restrictions to those which it deems reasonable and enforceable under the circumstances and, as so reduced or modified, the parties hereto agree that such covenants and restrictions shall remain in full force and effect as so modified. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Pledge Agreement is invalid or against public policy and cannot be so reduced or modified so as to be made enforceable, the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 20. Successors and Assigns; Assignment. All covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the parties contained in this Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Pledgor shall not have the right to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Pledgee.
Section 21. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THAT THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR ANY STATE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY AND ALL ISSUES ARISING EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BETWEEN PLEDGEE AND PLEDGOR OR THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT. IT IS INTENDED THAT SAID WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY AND ALL DEFENSES, RIGHTS, AND/OR COUNTERCLAIMS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS BETWEEN PLEDGOR AND PLEDGEE. PLEDGOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO INTERPOSE ANY CLAIMS, DEDUCTIONS, SETOFFS OR COUNTERCLAIMS OF ANY KIND, NATURE OR DESCRIPTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY PLEDGEE WITH RESPECT TO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, EXCEPT COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIMS.
Section 22. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by facsimile or electronic signature, each of which when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Pledge and Security Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
