|
SECTION 9. |
|
Standard of Care. |
The powers conferred on 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.

|
SECTION 10. |
|
Remedies. |
(a) Generally. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all 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 UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of such Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, (v) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) provide instructions directing the disposition of funds in any Deposit Account and (vii) provide entitlement orders with respect to Security Entitlements and other Investment Property constituting a part of the Collateral and, without notice to any Grantor, transfer to or register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral constituting Investment Property. Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.
(b) Intellectual Property. In addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the granting of a security interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, each Grantor, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Secured Party the nonexclusive right and license to use all trademarks, tradenames,
8
copyrights, patents or technical processes owned or used by such Grantor that relate to the Collateral, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable Secured Party to realize on the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of the Collateral to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral. This right shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of Secured Party and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license shall be granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to such Grantor.
|
SECTION 11. |
|
Application of Proceeds. |
Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in the following order of priority:
FIRST: To the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to Secured Party and its agents and counsel, and all other reasonable out-of-pocket and documented expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Secured Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Secured Party hereunder for the account of Grantors, and to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented costs and expenses paid or incurred by Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder;

THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of Grantors, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
|
SECTION 12. |
|
Indemnity and Expenses. |
(a) Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify Secured Party, each Lender from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from Secured Party’s or such Lender’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(b) Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in connection with the custody or preservation of the Collateral, the
9
exercise of rights or remedies hereunder or the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
(c) The obligations of Grantors in this Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Grantors’ other obligations under this Agreement, the Bridge Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
|
SECTION 13. |
|
Amendments; Etc. |
No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Grantors.

SECTION 15. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative; Severability.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any 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.
(b) In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 16. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans; Termination and Release.
