ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
4.1 Representations
and Warranties. Each of Debtor and Guarantor represents and
warrants to Bank, which representations and warranties shall be
continuing representations and warranties until all of the
Obligations are satisfied in full, and covenants with Bank as
follows:
(a) Duly Authorized. This Security
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered, and
constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of Debtor and
Guarantor, enforceable against Debtor and Guarantor in accordance
with its terms, except as they might be limited by bankruptcy,
reorganization, moratorium, insolvency or other similar laws
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in
general.
(b) Not in Violation of Law. This
Security Agreement does not and will not violate any applicable
law, the organizational documents, or bylaws of Debtor or
Guarantor, or any other material agreement or material instrument
to which Debtor or Guarantor or any of its property may be bound or
subject. To the knowledge of Debtor and Guarantor, neither Debtor,
Guarantor nor the Collateral are in violation of or subject to any
existing, pending, or threatened investigation or inquiry
pertaining to an alleged violation of any Environmental
Law.
(c) No Consents
Required. No
consent or approval of any person or entity, or of any public
authority, is necessary for the valid execution, delivery, and
performance of this Security Agreement, except where the failure to
obtain such consent or approval could not reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect.
(d) Title to the Collateral; Good
Repair. Debtor or Guarantor is or, to the extent that any
Collateral will be acquired after the date hereof, will be, the
sole owner of the Collateral, holding good and marketable title
thereto, and covenants to keep the Collateral free from any lien,
security interest, encumbrance, or claim of any person or entity
other than the liens and encumbrances of Bank and Permitted Liens.
Each of Debtor or Guarantor has the right to grant the security
interests created by this Security Agreement. The security
interests granted and reaffirmed by this Security Agreement
constitute first priority security interests in the Collateral,
which will be perfected upon the filing by Bank of the appropriate
financing statements subject only to Permitted Liens. Except as set
forth on Schedule 5.13(c) to the Loan Agreement, the Collateral is
not subject to or restricted by any agreement or license relating
to patents, trademarks, trade secrets or copyrights, except to the
extent that the Collateral encompasses third party software. Debtor
shall keep the Equipment in good order and repair, reasonable wear
and tear excepted, and will not waste or destroy any material
portion of the Equipment.
(e) Notice of Interest. If
requested by Bank, Debtor and Guarantor shall give notice of Bank's
security interests in the Collateral to any third person with whom
Debtor has any actual or prospective contractual relationship or
other business dealings.
4.2 Covenants. Each
of Debtor and Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that for as
long as any Obligations are outstanding:
(a) Changes in Location of Chief Executive
Office, Books and Records, Collateral. Debtor shall provide Bank with
prompt written notice of (i) any intended change in the chief
executive office, or state of formation of Debtor or Guarantor,
and/or the office where Debtor or Guarantor maintains its Books and
Records all as set forth in the Borrower’s Information
Certificate; and (ii) the location or movement of any Collateral to
or at an address other than the Collateral Location (other than
shipments of Inventory made by Debtor or Guarantor in the ordinary
course of its business), all such notices to be received by Bank at
least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such
change. If any such new location as set forth in subparagraphs (i)
and (ii) hereof is on leased or mortgaged premises, Debtor or
Guarantor will furnish Bank, prior to the effective date of any
such change, with landlord's or mortgagee's waivers pertaining to
such premises in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank
in its reasonable discretion.
3
(b) Maintenance and Inspection of Books
and Records. Debtor shall maintain materially complete and
accurate Books and Records and, with respect to the Collateral,
shall make all necessary entries therein to reflect the location of
its Accounts, Equipment and Inventory. Debtor shall permit Bank and
its authorized agents and representatives to have full, complete,
and unrestricted access to the Books and Records at all reasonable
times during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice
(provided, however, that no such notice shall be required upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) to
inspect, audit, and make copies of any and all such Books and
Records, provided, however, Debtor shall at all times have the
right to be present at any such inspection or audit. Debtor shall
permit Bank and its authorized agents and representatives to
inspect any or all of the Collateral at all reasonable times,
provided, however, Debtor shall at all times have the right to be
present at any such inspection. Subject to the foregoing
limitations, upon submission to Debtor of an invoice therefor,
Debtor will reimburse Bank for any and all fees and costs related
to any inspection by Bank and its authorized agents and
representatives. Upon the request of Bank, Debtor shall deliver to
Bank all evidence of ownership in the Collateral, including
certificates of title with Bank's interest appropriately noted on
the certificate and if any of the Collateral is located upon land
that is the subject of a lease or mortgage, Debtor shall deliver an
agreement of subordination from the landlord or mortgagee providing
that any lien of such party shall be subordinate to the security
interest of Bank granted herein. Bank's rights hereunder shall be
enforceable at law or in equity, and Debtor consents to the entry
of judicial orders or injunctions enforcing specific performance of
such obligations hereunder; and
(c) Assignment of Accounts. With
respect to Accounts, Debtor and Guarantor shall, upon reasonable
request, promptly give to Bank, in a form reasonably acceptable to
Bank, assignments of all Accounts, all original and other documents
evidencing a right to payment of Accounts, aging’s, lists of
account debtors, copies of purchase orders, invoices, shipping and
delivery receipts, and such other data concerning the Accounts as
Bank may reasonably request. If any of the Accounts that are
Collateral arise out of contracts with the United States or any of
its departments, agencies, or instrumentalities, Debtor shall
promptly notify and identify same to Bank, and shall promptly
execute and deliver to Bank an assignment of claims for such
Accounts in a form reasonably acceptable to Bank, and shall take
all steps deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by Bank to
protect Bank’s interest therein under the Federal Assignment
of Claims Act, as amended from time to time, or any similar law or
regulation. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, Debtor agrees that Bank and its authorized agents
and representatives shall at all times have the right to confirm
orders and to verify any or all of the Accounts in Bank’s
name, or in any fictitious name used by Bank for
verifications.
ARTICLE V
DEFAULT; REMEDIES
5.1 Events
of Default. The occurrence of any one of the following shall
constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this
Security Agreement:
(a) Breach Under this Security
Agreement. A breach by Debtor or Guarantor of any term,
obligation, provision, covenant, representation, or warranty
arising under this Security Agreement (provided that if the default
is curable, Debtor or Guarantor shall have twenty (20) calendar
days to cure any such default so long as neither the value of
Bank’s rights in the Collateral or the value of the
Collateral is materially impaired); or
(b) Default under Loan Agreement.
If an “Event of
Default” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) continues
beyond any applicable cure or grace period.
5.2 Remedies.
(a) Rights in General. In addition
to the remedies of Bank pursuant to the Loan Documents, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default Bank
may, at its option, exercise any and all rights and remedies it has
under this Security Agreement, any other Loan Document, and/or
applicable law.
(b) Right of Set-off. If any one or
more Events of Default shall have occurred and are continuing,
whether or not Bank shall have made any demand under any of the
Loan Documents, and regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral
for the Obligations or other means of obtaining repayment of the
Obligations , Bank shall have the right, and is specifically
authorized hereby to setoff against and apply to the then unpaid
balance of the Obligations any items or funds of Debtor and/or any
Obligor held by Bank or any Affiliate, any and all deposits
(whether general or special, time or demand, matured or unmatured)
or any other property of Debtor and/or any Obligor, including,
without limitation, securities and/or certificates of deposit, now
or hereafter maintained by Debtor and/or any Obligor for its or
their own account with Bank or any Affiliate, and any other
indebtedness at any time held or owing by Bank or any Affiliate to
or for the credit or the account of Debtor and/or any Obligor, even
if effecting such set-off results in a loss or reduction of
interest or the imposition of a penalty applicable to the early
withdrawal of time deposits. For such purpose, Bank shall have, and
Debtor hereby grants to Bank, a first lien on and security interest
in such deposits, property, funds, and accounts, and the proceeds
thereof. Debtor further authorizes any Affiliate, upon and
following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, at the request of Bank, and without notice to Debtor, to
turn over to Bank any property of Debtor, including, without
limitation, funds and securities held by the Affiliate for Debtor's
account, and to debit any deposit account maintained by Debtor with
such Affiliate (even if such deposit account is not then due or
there results a loss or reduction of interest or the imposition of
a penalty in accordance with law applicable to the early withdrawal
of time deposits), in the amount requested by Bank up to the amount
of the Obligations, and to pay or transfer such amount or property
to Bank for application to the Obligations.
4
(c) Additional Rights and Remedies.
In addition to the rights and remedies available to Bank as set
forth above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default hereunder , Bank may, at its option, immediately
and without notice, do any or all of the following, which rights
and remedies are cumulative, may be exercised from time to time,
and are in addition to any rights and remedies available to Bank
under any other agreement or instrument by and between any Obligor
and Bank: (i) exercise any and all of the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without
limitation, the right to require Debtor to assemble the Collateral
and make it available to Bank at a place reasonably convenient to
the parties; (ii) operate, utilize, recondition and/or refurbish
any of the Collateral by any means deemed appropriate by Bank, in
its sole discretion, including, without limitation, converting raw
materials and work-in-process into finished goods; (iii) notify the
account debtors for any of the Accounts to make payment directly to
Bank, or to such post office box as Bank may direct; (iv) vote the
Collateral and exercise all rights with the same force and effect
as an absolute owner; (v) demand, xxx for, collect, or retrieve any
money or property at any time payable, receivable on account of, or
in exchange for, or make any compromise, or settlement deemed
desirable with respect to any of the Collateral; and/or (vi) upon
ten (10) calendar days' prior written notice to Debtor (or one (1)
day notice by telephone with respect to Collateral that is
perishable or threatens to decline rapidly in value), which Debtor
hereby acknowledges to be sufficient, commercially reasonable and
proper, Bank may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any or all of
the Collateral at any time and from time to time at public or
private sale, with or without advertisement thereof, and apply the
proceeds of any such sale first to Bank's expenses in preparing the
Collateral for sale (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and
second toward payment of the Obligations in any order deemed
appropriate by Bank in its sole discretion, and third with any
excess being paid by Bank to Debtor; provided, however, that nothing herein
shall be construed to prohibit Bank from seeking a deficiency
judgment if the proceeds do not fully and completely satisfy the
Obligations. Bank shall be under no obligation to make or complete
a sale regardless of whether notice of sale had been given.
Moreover, Bank may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor and any
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned. Debtor grants a royalty-free
license to Bank for all patents, service marks, trademarks,
tradenames, copyright, computer programs, and other intellectual
property and proprietary rights sufficient to permit Bank to
exercise all rights granted to Bank under this Section. Bank or
anyone else may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so
sold and thereafter hold such Collateral absolutely, free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of
redemption of Debtor or any other Obligor, any such notice, right,
and/or equity of redemption being hereby expressly waived and
released.
(d) Continuing Enforcement of the Loan
Documents. If, after receipt of any payment of all or any
part of the Obligations or the obligations of Debtor to Bank, Bank
is compelled or agrees, for settlement purposes, to surrender such
payment to any person or entity for any reason, then this Security
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force
and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be. The provisions of
this Paragraph shall survive the termination of this Security
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be and remain
effective notwithstanding the payment of the Obligations, the
cancellation of the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document,
the release of any security interest, lien, or
encumbrance securing
the Obligations or any other action that Bank may have taken in
reliance upon its receipt of such payment. Debtor also agrees to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bank with respect to any and
all claims, expenses, demands, losses, costs, fines, or liabilities
of any kind (including, without limitation, those involving death
or personal injury) arising from or in any way related to any
hazardous materials or dangerous environments within, on, from,
related to, or affecting any real property owned or occupied by
Debtor, except to the extent attributable to the negligence or
misconduct of Bank.
