6.          Certain Provisions Concerning Collateral.

 

(a)          Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (defined below) and the principal sum under the Notes being due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, the Secured Parties may notify any or all Account Debtors of the security interest created hereby and may also direct such Account Debtors to make all payments on Collateral to the Secured Parties. In such event, all payments on and from Collateral received by the Secured Parties directly or from the Company shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 8 and the Secured Parties may demand of the Company in writing, before or after notification to Account Debtors and without waiving in any manner the security interest created hereby, that any payments on and from the Collateral:

 

(i)          shall be held by the Company in trust for the Secured Parties in the same medium in which received;

 

(ii)         shall not be commingled with any assets of the Company; and

 

(iii)        shall be delivered to the Secured Parties in the form received, properly indorsed to permit collection, promptly following their receipt; and

 

the Company shall comply with such demand. The Company shall also promptly notify the Secured Parties of the return to, or repossession by, the Company of Goods underlying any Collateral, and the Company shall hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and shall dispose of the same as the Secured Parties directs.

 

(b)          Until (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default and (ii) the principal sum under the Notes shall become due and payable by acceleration or otherwise (an “Acceleration”), the Company reserves the right to receive all income from or interest on the Collateral consisting of Instruments. Upon such an Event of Default, the Company will not demand or receive any income from or interest on such Collateral other than from Inventory, royalties, licensing fees, milestone payments, research sponsorship payments, joint ventures or loan proceeds and, if the Company receives any such income or interest without any demand by it, the same shall be held by the Company in trust for the Secured Parties in the same medium in which received, shall not be commingled with any assets of the Company and shall be delivered to the Secured Parties in the form received, properly indorsed to permit collection, promptly following its receipt. The Secured Parties may apply the net cash receipts from such income or interests to payment of the Obligations; provided that the Secured Parties shall account for, and pay over to the Company, any such income or interest remaining after payment in full of the Obligations. Until an Acceleration, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may conduct its business in the ordinary course and may use its cash, cash equivalents, royalties, licensing fees, milestone payments, research sponsorship payments, interest, dividends, income, proceeds of loans and sales of securities, sales of inventory and joint venture distributions for general corporate purposes.

 

 

(c)          If an Event of Default has occurred, the Company authorizes the Secured Parties to:

 

(i)          receive any increase in or profits on the Collateral and hold the same as part of the Collateral;

 

(ii)         receive any payment or distribution on the Collateral upon redemption by, or dissolution and liquidation of, the issuer thereof;

 

(iii)        surrender such Collateral or any part thereof in exchange for cash or securities of equivalent fair market value; and

 

(iv)        hold the net cash receipts from any such payment or distribution described in clause (ii) above as part of the Collateral.

 

7.          Events of Default. The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under the Notes, or any material breach of this Agreement by the Company, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement.

 

8.          Remedies on Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Parties shall have all rights, privileges, powers and remedies provided a secured party under the UCC and any other applicable law and such additional rights, privileges, powers and remedies as are set forth herein.

 

9.          Payments After an Event of Default. All payments received and amounts realized by the Secured Parties pursuant to Section 8, including all such payments and amounts received after the entire unpaid principal of, and interest on, the Notes have been declared due and payable, as well as all payments or amounts then held or thereafter received by the Secured Parties as part of the Collateral while an Event of Default shall be continuing, shall be promptly applied and distributed to the Secured Parties in the following order of priority:

 

(a)          first, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred or made hereunder by the Secured Parties, including any such costs and expenses of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of any sale or the exercise of any other remedy under Section 8, and of all taxes, assessments, or liens superior to the lien granted under this Agreement, except any taxes, assessments, or other superior lien subject to which any said sale under Section 8 may have been made; and

 

(b)          second, to the payment to the Secured Parties of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Notes, with application on the Notes to be made first to the unpaid interest thereon (if any), and second, to the unpaid principal thereof, such application to be made upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment, if partially paid, or the surrender and cancellation thereof, if fully paid shall be made; and

 

(c)          third, to the payment of the balance or surplus, if any, to the Company, its successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

 

 

10.         Power of Attorney. The Company hereby appoints the Secured Parties, the attorney-in-fact of the Company to (i) prepare, sign and file or record, for the Company, in the Company’s name, any financing statement and to take any other action reasonably deemed by the Secured Parties necessary or desirable to perfect and continue the security interest of the Secured Parties hereunder, and to perform any obligations of the Company hereunder, but without obligation to do so; and (ii) after an Acceleration, to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to collect, compromise, settle, sell, or otherwise deal with any or all of the Collateral or proceeds thereof. Such power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remains outstanding.

 

11.         Secured Parties’ Right to Cure; Reimbursement. If the Company should fail to do any act as herein provided, the Secured Parties may, but shall have no obligation to do so, with reasonable notice to the Company, and without releasing the Company from any obligation hereof, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as the Secured Parties may deem necessary to protect the Collateral, including without limitation, the defense of any action purporting to affect the Collateral or the rights or powers of the Secured Parties hereunder, at the Company’s expense.
