SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of January 31, 2002 made by and between Nuvim, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Debtor”) and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Specialty Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Secured Party”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company and STSG have entered into a certain 8% Convertible Secured Promissory Note of even date herewith (hereinafter the “Note”), pursuant to which Company has agreed to pay the principal sum of $1,000,000 together with interest at the annual rate of 8% to STSG six (6) months from the date of the Note, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Note; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce STSG to execute and deliver the Note, the Company has agreed to xxxxx x xxxx on and security interest in the Collateral (as defined herein) of the Company for the due payment and performance of all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under the Note; and
WHEREAS, except as to those terms otherwise defined in this Agreement, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Note.
Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Secured Party to provide the financing pursuant to the Note and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Debtor hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. Grant of Security. The Debtor hereby assigns and pledges to the Secured Party, and hereby grants to the Secured Party a security interest in, all of the Debtor’s right, title and interest in and to the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (the “Collateral”):
(a) all equipment in all of its forms, wherever located, now or hereafter existing, all fixtures and all parts thereof and all accessions thereto owned by the Company as of even date herewith (any and all such equipment, fixtures, parts and accessions being the “Equipment”);
(b) all inventory in all of its forms, wherever located, now or hereafter existing (including, but not limited to, (i) all raw materials and work in process therefor, finished goods thereof, and materials used or consumed in the manufacture or production thereof, (ii) goods in which the Debtor has an interest in mass or a joint or other interest or right of any kind (including, without limitation, goods in which the Debtor has an interest or right as consignee), and (iii) goods which are returned to or repossessed by the Debtor), and all accessions thereto and
products thereof and documents therefor (any and all such inventory, accessions, products and documents being the “Inventory”);
(c) all accounts, contract rights, chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, copyrights, general intangibles and other obligations of any kind, now or hereafter existing, whether or not arising out of or in connection with the sale or lease of goods or the rendering of services, and all rights now or hereafter existing in and to all security agreements, leases, and other contracts securing or otherwise relating to any such accounts, contract rights, chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, general intangibles or obligations (any and all such accounts, contract rights, chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, general intangibles and obligations being the “Receivables”, and any and all such leases, security agreements and other contracts being the “Related Contracts”), other than those Receivables and Related Contracts that, with the Secured Party’s consent, are sold or otherwise subject to factoring or similar agreements by any Debtor. To the extent that the Secured Party consents to any such factoring or similar agreement, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and will take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to release the Secured Party’s security interest, if any, in such Collateral; and
(d) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral (including, without limitation, proceeds which constitute property of the types described in clauses (a)-(c) of this Section 1) and, to the extent not otherwise included, all (i) payments under insurance (whether or not the Secured Party is the loss payee thereof), or any indemnity, warranty or Guarantee, payable by reason of loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral and (ii) cash.
SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. (a) This Agreement secures the payment of all obligations of the Debtor now or hereafter existing under the Note, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, and all obligations of the Debtor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement (all such obligations of the Debtor being the “Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by the Debtor to the Secured Party under the Note but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Debtor.
(b) In the event of a change in the business of the Debtor or in the condition, circumstances or status of the Collateral, which, in the Secured Party’s judgment shall impair the aggregate value of the Collateral or the Secured Party’s security or in the event that the Secured Party shall otherwise reasonably determine that the liquidation value of the Collateral is insufficient to satisfy the Obligations or that it is otherwise under-collateralized, the Debtor shall furnish additional security, if available, within fifteen (15) days of a written request for such additional security by the Secured Party.

In order to perfect, maintain or protect its security interest, the Secured Party may give notice of its security interest in Collateral and may deliver a copy of this Agreement to any person.

SECTION 6. As to Equipment and Inventory. (a) The Debtor shall keep the Equipment and Inventory (other than Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business) maintained by it at the places therefor specified in Section 4(f) or, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Secured Party, at such other places in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 5 shall have been taken with respect to the Equipment and Inventory.
(b) The Debtor shall cause the Equipment maintained by it to be maintained and preserved in substantially the same condition, repair and working order as when new, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in accordance with any manufacturer’s manual, and shall forthwith, or in the case of any loss or damage to any of the Equipment as quickly as practicable after the occurrence thereof, make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements, and other improvements in connection therewith which are necessary or desirable to such end.

SECTION 7. Insurance.(a) The Debtor shall, at its own expense, maintain insurance with respect to the Equipment and Inventory maintained by it in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with such insurers, as customary in the industry. Each policy for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of the Secured Party and the applicable Debtor as their respective interests may appear and each policy for property damage insurance shall provide for all losses (except for losses of less than $5,000 per occurrence) to be paid directly to the Secured Party. Each such policy shall in addition (i) name the respective Debtor and the Secured Party as insured parties thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Secured Party) as their interests may appear, (ii) contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Secured Party notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or warranty by the respective Debtor, (iii) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Secured Party for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto and (iv) provide that at least ten days’ prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to the Secured Party by the insurer. The Debtor shall, if so requested by the Secured Party, deliver to the Secured Party original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Secured Party may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Further, the Debtor shall, at the request of the Secured Party, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 5 and cause the insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
(b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by a Debtor pursuant to this Section 7 may be paid directly to the person who shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of this Section 7 is not applicable, the Debtor maintaining such Equipment or Inventory shall make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance maintained by the Debtor pursuant to this Section 7 shall be paid to the Debtor as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.
(c) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (as defined in the Note), or (ii) the actual or constructive total loss (in excess of $5,000 per occurrence) of any Equipment or Inventory, all insurance payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to and applied by the Secured Party as specified in Section 13(b).
SECTION 8. As to Receivables. (a) The Debtor shall keep its chief place of business and chief executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the Receivables, and the originals of all chattel paper that evidence Receivables, at the location therefor specified in Section 4(f) or, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Secured Party, at any other locations in a jurisdiction where all action required by Section 5 shall have been taken with respect to the Receivables. The Debtor will hold and preserve such records and chattel paper and will permit representatives of the Secured Party at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records and chattel paper.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), the Debtor shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due the Debtor under the Receivables. In connection with such collections, the Debtor may take (and,
-6-
at the Secured Party’s direction, shall take) such action as the Debtor or the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Receivables; provided, however, that the Secured Party shall have the right at any time in the event that the Secured Party in good faith believes that the prospect of payment of the Obligations in the normal course, or the performance of collection of the Receivables due a Debtor, is impaired and upon written notice to the respective Debtor of its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors or obligors under any Receivables of the assignment of such Receivables to the Secured Party and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to the Debtor thereunder directly to the Secured Party and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Debtor, to enforce collection of any such Receivables, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Debtor might have done. After receipt by a Debtor of the notice from the Secured Party referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by the Debtor in respect of the Receivables shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of the Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Secured Party in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash collateral and either (A) released to the Debtor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided by Section 13(b), and (ii) the Debtor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
SECTION 9. Transfers and Other Liens. No Debtor shall (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, except in the ordinary course of business and which will not otherwise materially impact the value of the Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest, option or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the security interest under this Agreement and as otherwise permitted in the Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 14).
SECTION 10. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party the Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Debtor and in the name of the Debtor, and the Secured Party may take any action and execute any instrument, including without limitation, UCC-1’s, which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of the Debtor under Section 8), including, without limitation:
|
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 7, |
|
|
|
(b) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Collateral, |
(c) to receive, endorse, aid collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection therewith, and | |
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral. |
-7-
SECTION 11. Secured Party May Perform. If the Debtor fails to perform any agreement contained herein and such failure remains uncured ten (10) days after the Secured Party gives notice of such failure to the Debtor, the Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Debtor under Section 14(b).
SECTION 12. The Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Secured Party 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 safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party 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. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property.
SECTION 13. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
|
(a) The Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York or any other applicable jurisdiction at that time (the “Code”), and also may (i) require any Debtor to, and the Debtor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by the Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or else where, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable. The Debtor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to the Debtor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. |
-8-
|
(b) Any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Secured Party, be held by the Secured Party as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 14) in whole or in part by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to the Debtor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. |
SECTION 14. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) The Debtor agrees to indemnify the Secured Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the Note (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) (including, without limitation, enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) The Debtor will upon demand pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder or (iv) the failure by the Debtor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 15. Security Interest Absolute. The obligations of the Debtor under this Agreement are independent of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Debtor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Debtor or any other Debtor or whether the Debtor or any other Debtor is joined in any such action or actions. All rights of the Secured Party and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:
|
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Note or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; |
|
|
|
(ii) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Note, including, without |
-9-
|
limitation, any increase in the Obligations resulting from the additional a series of loans to the Debtor or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise; |
|
|
|
(iii) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Note, for all or any of the Obligations; |
|
|
|
(iv) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of the Debtor or any of its subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
(v) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Debtor or any of its subsidiaries; or |
|
|
|
(vi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Debtor or a third party Debtor of a security interest. |
SECTION 16. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Debtor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party and Debtor, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Upon any such termination, the Secured Party will, at the Debtors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Debtor such documents as the Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
SECTION 19. Governing Law; Terms. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the security interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Note, terms used in Article 9 of the Code are used herein as therein defined.
SECTION 20. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other party hereto.
