IV. POWER OF ATTORNEY; NOTICES
SECTION 4.01. Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof,
with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with
full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor or
in the Secured Party's own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and
all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, hereby give said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the
Grantor, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to (a)
-6-
endorse the names of such Grantor on any checks, notes, drafts or other forms of
payment or security that may come into the possession of the Secured Party or
any affiliate of the Secured Party, to sign the Grantor's name on invoices or
bills-of-lading, drafts against customers, notices of assignment, verifications
and schedules, (b) sell, transfer, pledge, make any arrangement with respect to
or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral consistent with the
UCC and (c) do acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary or useful
to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party's
security interest therein. The powers granted herein, being coupled with an
interest, are irrevocable until all of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in
full and this Agreement is terminated. The powers conferred on the Secured Party
hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Neither the Secured Party
nor any attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act or omission, error in
judgment or mistake of law provided the same is not the result of gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the power of attorney granted to the Secured Party pursuant to this
Section 4.01 shall be exercisable only after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default.
SECTION 4.02. Notices. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Secured Party may notify account debtors and other
persons obligated on any of the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned
to the Secured Party or of its security interest therein and to direct such
account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral to make
payment of all amounts due or to become due to a Grantor directly to the Secured
Party and upon such notification and at such Grantor's expense to enforce
collection of any such Collateral, and to adjust, compromise or settle for cash,
credit or otherwise upon any terms the amount of payment thereof. The Secured
Party may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, notify the Postal Service authorities to change the address of
delivery of mail to an address designated by the Secured Party. After making of
such a request or the giving of any such notification, each Grantor shall hold
any proceeds of collection of all Collateral received by it as trustee for the
Secured Party without commingling the same with such Grantor and shall turn the
same over to the Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any
necessary endorsements or assignments. The Secured Party shall apply the
proceeds of collection of such Collateral received by the Secured Party to the
Obligations, in such order as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, shall
determine, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash
or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them. The
Secured Party shall return to each Grantor any mail delivered to the Secured
Party pursuant to the authority granted to it hereunder which does not consist
of the proceeds of collection of Collateral.
V. REMEDIES OF SECURED PARTY
SECTION 5.01. Enforcement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall have, in addition to all of its
other rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by operation of
law or otherwise (which rights shall be cumulative), all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC and shall have the right, to the
extent permitted by law, without charge, to enter any Grantor's premises, and
-7-
until it completes the enforcement of its rights in the Collateral subject to
its security interest hereunder and the sale or other disposition of any
property subject thereto, for the purpose of preparing any Collateral for
disposition and for the disposition of or collecting any Collateral. Without
limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Secured Party may, without demand, advertising or notice,
all of which such Grantor hereby waives (except as the same may be required by
law), sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of and grant options to a third
party to purchase, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral
held by it or for its account at any time or times in one or more public or
private sales or other dispositions, for cash, on credit or otherwise, at such
prices and upon such terms as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, deems
advisable. At any such sale the Collateral or any portion thereof may be sold in
one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels as the Secured Party in its sole
discretion deems advisable. Each Grantor agrees that if notice of sale shall be
required by law such requirement shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage
prepaid, to such Grantor at its address set forth above or such other address as
it may have, in writing, provided to the Secured Party, at least ten (10) days
before the time of such sale or disposition. The Secured Party may postpone or
adjourn any sale of any Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the
time and place of the sale to be so postponed or adjourned, without being
required to give a new notice of sale. Notice of any public sale shall be
sufficient if it describes the security of the Collateral to be sold in general
terms, stating the amounts thereof, the nature of the business in which such
Collateral was created and the location and nature of the properties covered by
the other security interests or mortgages and the prior liens thereof. The
Secured Party may be the purchaser at any such sale if it is public, free from
any right of redemption, which such Grantor also waives, and payment may be
made, in whole or in part, in respect of such purchase price by the application
of the Obligations by the Secured Party. Each Grantor with respect to its
property constituting such Collateral, shall be obligated for, and the proceeds
of sale shall be applied first to, the costs of taking, assembling, finishing,
collecting, refurbishing, storing, guarding, insuring, preparing for sale, and
selling the Collateral, including the fees and disbursements of attorneys,
auctioneers, appraisers and accountants employed by the Secured Party. Proceeds
shall then be applied to the payment, in whatever order the Secured Party may
elect, of all of the Obligations. The Secured Party shall return any excess to
such Grantor or to whomever may be fully entitled to receive the same or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In the event that the proceeds of
any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay in full
the Obligations, such Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
SECTION 5.02. Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent
that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in
a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it
is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (a) to fail to incur
expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare
Collateral for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for
access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by
other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the
collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to
fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons
obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any
adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against
account debtors and
-8-
other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection
agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of
Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not
the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether
or not in the same business each Grantor, for expressions of interest in
acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more
professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or
not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by
utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types
included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so,
or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in
wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties,
(k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party
against risk of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to
the Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of
Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to
obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of
any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this
Section 5.02 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or
omissions by the Secured Party would fulfill the Secured Party's duties under
the UCC or the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in other relevant
jurisdiction in the Secured Party's exercise of remedies against the Collateral
and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed to
fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section 5.02. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this
Section 5.02 shall be construed to grant any rights to each Grantor or to impose
any duties on the Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by
this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 5.02.
SECTION 5.03. Waiver. Each Grantor waives any right, to the extent
applicable law permits, to receive prior notice of, or a judicial or other
hearing with respect to, any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the
Secured Party to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item
of the Collateral in any instance (regardless of where such Collateral may be
located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or by applicable law, or of the time, place or terms of
sale in connection with the exercise of the Secured Party's rights hereunder and
such Grantor also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any bond, security or
sureties required by any statute, rule or otherwise by law as an incident to any
taking of possession by the Secured Party of property subject to the Secured
Party's Lien. Each Grantor further waives any damages (direct, consequential or
otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of the Secured Party's rights under
this Agreement and any other Loan Document including the taking of possession of
any Collateral all to the extent that such waiver is permitted by law and to the
extent that such damages are not caused by the Secured Party's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this
Agreement and any other Loan Documents have been negotiated by the parties and
each Grantor acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own
choice and has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder.
-9-
SECTION 5.04. Other Rights. Each Grantor agrees that the Secured Party
shall not have any obligation to preserve rights to any Collateral against prior
parties or to proceed first against any Collateral or to xxxxxxxx any Collateral
of any kind for the benefit of any other creditors of such Grantor or any other
Person. The Secured Party is hereby granted, to the extent that such Grantor is
permitted to grant a license or right of use, a license or other right to use,
without charge, labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use, of any name, trade
secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a
similar nature of such Grantor as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing
production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and such
Grantor's rights under all licenses and any franchise, sales or distribution
agreements shall inure to the Secured Party's benefit.
SECTION 5.05. Expenses. Each Grantor agrees that it shall pay on demand
therefor all costs and expenses incurred in amending, implementing, perfecting,
collecting, defending, declaring and enforcing the Secured Party's rights and
security interests in the Collateral hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or
any other Loan Document or other instrument or agreement delivered in connection
herewith or therewith, including, but not limited to, (a) searches and filings,
(b) the Secured Party's reasonable attorneys' fees (regardless of whether any
litigation is commenced, whether a default is declared hereunder, and regardless
of tribunal or jurisdiction) and (c) any stamp duties, and interest and
penalties thereon, which may be payable to any Governmental Authority.
