If Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, rents, assessments, insurance premiums, or otherwise) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement (in each case, except for payments subject to Permitted Protests), then, to the extent that Lenders determines in its good faith reasonable business judgment that such failure by Borrower could have a Material Adverse Change with respect to Lenders’ interests in the Collateral, in its Sole Discretion and without prior notice except as provided in the Loan Documents (except that Lenders shall use its best efforts to give two (2) days’ notice to Borrower without incurring any liability for failure to do so), Lenders may do any or all of the following: (a.) set up such reserves in Borrower’s loan account and comply with any condition as Lenders reasonably deems necessary to protect Lenders from the exposure created by such failure; (b.) qualify Borrower in any state to collect Accounts; (c.) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described herein; and (d.) take any action with respect to such policies as Lenders reasonably deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Lenders shall be at Borrower’s expense and shall constitute Lenders Expenses. Any such payments made by Lenders shall not constitute an agreement by Lenders to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lenders of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Lenders need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, Security Interest, encumbrance, or lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing. Such Lenders’ Expenses may be charged to Borrower’s account and if not charged or paid prior to such time, shall be charged upon termination.

 

13.2. Lenders May Obtain Insurance to Protect its Interest Upon Borrower’s Failure to Provide Insurance. Unless Borrower provides Lenders with evidence of the insurance coverage as required by this Agreement, Lenders may purchase such insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Lenders' interest. This insurance may, but need not, also protect Borrower’s interest. If any Collateral becomes damaged, the insurance coverage that Lenders purchases may not pay any claim Borrower makes or any claim made against Borrower. Borrower may later cancel this coverage after providing evidence that Borrower has obtained property coverage elsewhere.

 

 

13.3. Costs of Insurance. Borrower is responsible for the cost of any insurance purchased by Lenders, which shall constitute a Lenders Expense. The cost of obtaining this insurance may be added to Borrower’s loan balance. If the cost is added to Borrower’s loan balance, interest at the Rate set forth in Section 2.2.1 will apply to this added amount. The effective date of coverage may be the date on which Borrower’s prior coverage lapsed or the date Borrower failed to provide proof of coverage.

 

13.4. Disclosure Regarding Lenders Obtained Insurance. The insurance coverage that Lenders purchases may be considerably more expensive than the insurance coverage that Borrower could obtain and may not satisfy any need for property damage coverage or any mandatory liability insurance requirements imposed by applicable law.

 

14. Waivers; Indemnification.

 

14.1. Waivers of Demand, Protest, etc. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of Accounts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper, and guarantees at any time held by Lenders on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

 

14.2. No Liability of Lenders Re: Collateral. Lenders and Collateral Agent shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for (a.) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b.) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; or (c.) any diminution in the value thereof; or any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person. All risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

 

14.3. Indemnification. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lenders and Collateral Agent, any Affiliate thereof, and its directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, and other advisors (each an “Indemnified Person”) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including Attorneys’ Fees, Lenders Expenses, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to an Indemnified Person (including allocated costs of internal counsel), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Person, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that Borrower shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person for any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent they are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If and to the extent that the foregoing indemnification is for any reason held unenforceable, Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under applicable law.

 

14.4. No Liability for Failure to Make Advances. Borrower hereby agrees Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for any failure to make Advances (a.) if in Lenders’ Sole Discretion Lenders reasonably believes in light of all of the facts and circumstances that Borrower is not entitled to receive such Advances; (b.) due to any accounting or administrative errors made by Lenders provided that such errors are not in bad faith; or (c.) due to any other failure by Lenders unless the same arises directly from Lenders’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

 

14.5. Best Efforts by Lenders to Give Notice of Default. Lenders agrees to use its best efforts to give Borrower prompt written notice of any default or Event of Default or alleged default by Borrower promptly after Lenders has made the determination that it intends to exercise its rights and remedies as Lenders; provided, however, that there shall be no obligation on the part of Lenders to give any notice in the event of any fraud, defalcation, or conversion on the part of Borrower.

 

15. Notices.

Prior to taking any action hereunder as Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may require each Lender to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines in good faith is necessary to protect the Collateral Agent for costs and expenses associated with taking such action.

Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Agreement.  After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of the Agreement including this Annex B shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent.

Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Lender of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Borrower under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent or any Lender in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent or to which the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be entitled at any time or times.

 

 

36. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

 

(a) Borrower authorizes the Collateral Agent, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Collateral Agent and its officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution, as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in the name of the Collateral Agent or Borrower, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any note, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the Collateral Agent; (ii) to sign and endorse any financing statement pursuant to the UCC or any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against Borrower, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (v) to transfer any Intellectual Property or provide licenses respecting any Intellectual Property; and (vi) generally, at the option of the Collateral Agent, and at the expense of the Borrower, at any time, or from time to time, to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments and to do all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interests granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement and the Debentures all as fully and effectually as the Borrower might or could do; and each Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding. The designation set forth herein shall be deemed to amend and supersede any inconsistent provision in the Organizational Documents or other documents or agreements to which any Borrower is subject or to which any Borrower is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is specifically authorized to execute and file any applications for or instruments of transfer and assignment of any patents, trademarks, copyrights or other Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office.

 

(b)          On a continuing basis, each Borrower will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule C attached hereto, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, to perfect the Security Interests granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Collateral Agent the grant or perfection of a perfected security interest in all the Collateral under the UCC.

 

(c)          Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and instead of such Borrower and in the name of such Borrower, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of such Borrower where permitted by law, which financing statements may (but need not) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” or words of like import, and ratifies all such actions taken by the Collateral Agent. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.

 

37. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to subject Collateral Agent or any Lender to liability as a partner in any Borrower or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a partnership or as a member in any Borrower or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, nor shall Collateral Agent or any Lender be deemed to have assumed any obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of any such Borrower or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries or otherwise, unless and until any such Lender exercises its right to be substituted for such Borrower as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.
