ARTICLE III
SPECIAL PROVISION CONCERNING
RECEIVABLES; CONTRACT RIGHTS
3.1. Additional Representations and Warranties. As of the time when
each of its accounts receivable arises, the Grantor shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that such receivable, and all records, papers and
documents relating thereto (if any) are genuine and in all respects what they
purport to be and that all papers and documents (if any) relating thereto (i)
will represent the genuine, legal, valid and binding obligation of the account
-3-
debtor, evidencing indebtedness unpaid and owed by the respective account debtor
arising out of the performance of labor or services, (ii) will be the only
original writings held by the Grantor evidencing and embodying such obligation
of the account debtor named therein (other than copies created for general
accounting purposes) and (iii) will evidence true and valid obligations,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
3.2. Maintenance of Records. The Grantor will keep and maintain at its
own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of its Receivables and
Contracts, including the originals of all documentation (including each
Contract) with respect thereto, records of all payments received, all credits
granted thereon, all merchandise returned and all other dealings therewith, and
the Grantor will make the same available to the Secured Party for inspection, at
the Grantor's own cost and expense, at any and all reasonable times upon demand.
At any time and whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, upon the request of the Secured Party, the Grantor shall, at its own
cost and expense, deliver all tangible evidence of its Receivables and Contract
Rights (including, without limitation, copies of all documents evidencing the
Receivables and all Contracts, such copies, if requested by the Secured Party,
to be certified as true and complete by an appropriate officer of the Grantor)
and such books and records to the Secured Party or to its representatives
(copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by the Grantor).
If the Secured Party so directs, the Grantor shall legend, in form and manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, the Receivables and Contracts, as
well as books, records and documents of Grantor evidencing or pertaining to such
Receivables and Contracts with an appropriate reference to the fact that such
Receivables and Contracts have been assigned to the Secured Party and that the
Secured Party has a security interest therein.
3.3. Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties, etc. If the
Secured Party so directs the Grantor and whether or not an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Grantor agrees (x) to cause all payments on
account of the Receivables and Contracts to be made directly to an account
established by and with the Secured Party, or at Secured Party's option, by and
with Grantor subject to withdrawal by Secured Party only, except for Grantor's
indorsement when required and (y) that the Secured Party may, at its option,
directly notify the obligors with respect to any Receivables and/or under any
Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding
clause (x). Without notice to or assent by the Grantor, the Secured Party may
apply any or all amounts then in, or thereafter deposited in, the account
referred to in clause (x) in the manner provided in Section 4.4 of this
Agreement. The costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
-4-
of collection, whether incurred by the Grantor or the Secured
Party, shall be borne by the Grantor.
3.4. Modification of Terms, etc. The Grantor shall not rescind or
cancel any indebtedness evidenced by any Receivable or under any Contract, or
modify any material term thereof or make any material adjustment with respect
thereto, or extend or renew the same, or compromise or settle any material
dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto, or sell any
Receivable or Contract, or interest therein, without the prior written consent
of the Secured Party, except as permitted by Section 3.5 hereof. The Grantor
will duly fulfill all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in
connection with the Receivables and Contracts and will do nothing to impair the
rights of the Secured Party in the Receivables or Contracts.
3.5. Collection. The Grantor shall endeavor to cause to be collected
from the account debtor named in each of its Receivables or obligor under any
Contract, as and when due (including, without limitation, amounts which are
delinquent, such amounts to be collected in accordance with generally accepted
lawful collection procedures) any and all amounts owing under or on account of
such Receivable or Contract, and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such
amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Receivable or
under such Contract. The costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees) of collection whether incurred by the Grantor or the Secured
Party shall be borne by the Grantor.
3.6. Instruments. If the Grantor owns or acquires any Instrument
constituting Collateral and representing indebtedness in an aggregate principal
amount of not less than $1,000, the Grantor will within 10 Business Days notify
the Secured Party thereof, and upon request by the Secured Party promptly
deliver such Instrument to the Secured Party appropriately endorsed to the order
of the Secured Party as further security hereunder.
3.7. Protection of Secured Party's Security. Except as expressly
permitted herein, the Grantor will do nothing to impair the rights of the
Secured Party in the Collateral. The Grantor assumes all liability and
responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the
liability of the Grantor to pay its Obligations shall in no way be affected or
diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost, destroyed,
stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to the Grantor.
3.8. Further Actions. The Grantor will, at its own expense,
make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the
Secured Party from time to time such lists, descriptions and
-5-
designations of its Collateral, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers,
invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing
statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and
other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the
Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby
granted, which the Secured Party deems reasonably appropriate or advisable to
perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral.
3.9. Financing Statements. The Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to
the Secured Party such financing statements, in form acceptable to the Secured
Party, as the Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request or as are
necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Secured Party to establish and
maintain a valid, enforceable, security interest in the Collateral as provided
herein and the other rights and security contemplated hereby all in accordance
with the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any and all relevant
jurisdictions or any other relevant law. The Grantor will pay any applicable
filing fees and related expenses. The Grantor authorizes the Secured Party to
file any such financing statements without the signature of the Grantor to the
extent permitted by law.
ARTICLE IV
REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT
4.1. Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default. The Grantor
agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
and in every such case, subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law
then in effect, the Secured Party, in addition to any rights now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or applicable law, shall have all rights as a
secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code in all relevant jurisdictions
and may:
(a) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from the Grantor or
any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or
without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon
the Grantor's premises where any of the Collateral is located and
remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all
services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Grantor; and
(b) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement,
instrument or other obligation constituting the Collateral to make any
payment required by the terms of such instrument or agreement directly
to the Secured Party; and
-6-
(c) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Grantor
to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, any or all of the Collateral or
any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale
or liquidation; and
(d) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by
directing the Grantor in writing to deliver the same to the Secured
Party at any place or places designated by the Secured Party, in which
event the Grantor shall at its own expense:
(i) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or
places so designated by the Secured Party and there
delivered to the Secured Party,
(ii) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Secured
Party at such place or places pending further action by the
Secured Party as provided in Section 4.2 hereof, and
(iii) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept,
provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be
necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain
them in good condition;
it being understood that the Grantor's obligation so to deliver the
Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly,
upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Secured
Party shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by
the Grantor of said obligation.
4.2. Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. Any Collateral
repossessed by the Secured Party under or pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof and any
other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Secured Party, may be
sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or
as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the
property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at
such place or places and on such terms as the Secured Party may, in compliance
with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially
reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of,
in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Secured Party. Any
such disposition which shall be a private sale or other private proceedings
permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days' written
notice to the Grantor specifying the time at which such disposition is to be
made and the
-7-
intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for
the 10 days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the Grantor or any
nominee of the Grantor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such
other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other
consideration so specified. Any such disposition which shall be a public sale
permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days' written
notice to the Grantor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the
absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction (which
may, at the Secured Party's option, be subject to reserve), after publication of
notice of such auction not less than 10 day's prior thereto in a newspaper in
general circulation in New York City. To the extent permitted by any such
requirement of law, the Secured Party may bid for and become the purchaser of
the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this
Section without accountability to the Grantor (except to the extent of surplus
money received as provided in Section 4.4 hereof). If, under mandatory
requirements of applicable law, the Secured Party shall be required to make
disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the
giving of notice to the Grantor as hereinabove specified, the Secured Party need
give the Grantor only such notice of disposition as shall be reasonably
practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of applicable law.
4.3. Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
THE GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND
JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE SECURED PARTY'S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE
SECURED PARTY'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR
REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH GRANTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, and the
Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:
(a) all damages occasioned by such taking of
possession except any damages which are the direct result of
the Secured Party's gross negligence or wilful misconduct;
(b) all other requirements as to the time, place and
terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the
enforcement of the Secured Party's rights hereunder; and
(c) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable
law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or
the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and the
Grantor, for itself
-8-
and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter
lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon,
any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and
demand, either at law or in equity, of the Grantor therein and thereto, and
shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Grantor and
against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so
sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under
such Grantor.
4.4. Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly
provided and except as provided below in this Section 4.4, the proceeds of any
collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral
pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Secured Party under
Article III hereof or this Article IV, shall be applied by the Secured Party:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such
collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Secured Party and the fees and
expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and
advances made by the Secured Party in connection therewith;
Next, to the payment in full of the Obligations; and
Finally, to the payment to the Grantor, or its successors or
assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any
surplus then remaining.
As used in this Section 4.4, "proceeds" of Collateral shall mean cash,
securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind
of, Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization,
liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Grantor or any issuer of or obligor on
any of the Collateral.
4.5. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and
remedy hereby specifically given to the Secured Party shall be in
addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given
under this Agreement, the Note or any document related thereto or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute and
each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein
given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or
simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by the Secured Party. All such rights, powers and
-9-
remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of
one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise of any other or
others. No delay or omission of the Secured Party in the exercise of any such
right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations
shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. No notice to or
demand on the Grantor in any case shall entitle the Grantor to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the rights of the Secured Party to any other further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Secured Party
shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be
entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Secured Party may recover reasonable
expenses, including attorneys' fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included
in such judgment.
