2.2       Possession and Transfer of Collateral. Until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantor shall be entitled to possession and use of the Collateral (other than Instruments or Documents including Tangible Chattel Paper and Investment Property consisting of certificated securities) and other Collateral required to be delivered to Secured Party pursuant to this Section 2). The cancellation or surrender of any promissory note evidencing an Obligation, upon payment or otherwise, shall not affect the right of Secured Party to retain the Collateral for any other of the Obligations except upon payment in full of the Obligations. Grantor shall not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), license, lease or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to any of the Collateral.

 

 

2.3       Financing Statements. Grantor authorizes Secured Party to prepare and file such financing statements, amendments and other documents and do such acts as Secured Party deems necessary in order to establish and maintain valid, attached and perfected, first priority security interests in the Collateral in favor of Secured Party, free and clear of all Liens and claims and rights of third parties whatsoever, except Permitted Liens. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral is comprised of all assets of Grantor (or words of similar effect), regardless of whether any particular asset comprising a part of the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed, and (b) contain any other information required by Section 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether Grantor is an organization, the type of organization, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of the real property to which the Collateral relates.

2.4       Preservation of the Collateral. Secured Party may, but is not required to, take such actions from time to time as Secured Party reasonably deems appropriate to maintain or protect the Collateral. Secured Party shall have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Secured Party takes such action as Grantor shall reasonably request in writing which is not inconsistent with Secured Party's status as a secured party, but the failure of Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care; provided, however, Secured Party's responsibility for the safekeeping of the Collateral shall (i) be deemed reasonable if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, and (ii) not extend to matters beyond the control of Secured Party, including acts of God, war, insurrection, riot or governmental actions. In addition, any failure of Secured Party to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior or third parties, or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Collateral, not so requested by Grantor, shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral. Grantor shall have the sole responsibility for taking such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to preserve all rights of Grantor and Secured Party in the applicable Collateral against prior or third parties.

2.5       Other Actions as to any and all Collateral. Grantor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by Secured Party to ensure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Secured Party to enforce, the security interest of Secured Party in any and all of the Collateral including (a) causing Secured Party’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Secured Party to enforce, the security interest of Secured Party in such Collateral, (b) if within the control of the Grantor, complying with, and, if not within the control of the Grantor, using best efforts to comply with, any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any material portion of the Collateral as soon as possible but not more than forty-five (45) days after such request if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Secured Party to enforce, the security interest of Secured Party in such Collateral, (c) using best efforts to obtain governmental and other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person with authority or control over or an interest in any material portion of the Collateral as soon as possible but not more than forty-five (45) days after such request, (d) using best efforts to obtain waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party which affect any material portion of the Collateral as soon as possible but not more than forty-five (45) days after such request, and (e) taking all actions required by the UCC in effect from time to time or by other law, as applicable in any relevant UCC jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction.

Section 4       REMEDIES.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in this Security Agreement or in any other written agreement or instrument relating to any of the Obligations or any security therefor, as a secured party under the UCC or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party may, at its option upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, declare its commitments to Grantor to be terminated and all Obligations to be immediately due and payable. Grantor hereby waives any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands, in connection with the enforcement of Secured Party's rights, and hereby consents to, and waives notice of release, with or without consideration, of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary. In addition to the foregoing upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 

4.1       Possession and Assembly of Collateral. Secured Party may, without notice, demand or initiate legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which Secured Party already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may at any time enter into any of Grantor's premises where any of the Collateral may be or is supposed to be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and Secured Party shall have the right to store and conduct a sale of the same in any of Grantor's premises without cost to Secured Party. At Secured Party's request, Grantor will, at Grantor’s sole expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place or places to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to Secured Party and Grantor.

 

4.2       Sale of Collateral. Secured Party may sell any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may deem proper, and Secured Party may purchase any or all of the Collateral at any such sale. Grantor acknowledges that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral because of certain legal and/or practical restrictions and provisions which may be applicable to the Collateral and, therefore, may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers. Grantor consents to any such private sale so made even though at places and upon terms less favorable than if the Collateral were sold at public sale. Secured Party shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Secured Party may apply the net proceeds, after deducting all costs, expenses, attorneys' and paralegals' fees incurred or paid at any time in the collection, protection and sale of the Collateral and the Obligations, to the payment of the Obligations, returning the excess proceeds, if any, to Grantor. Grantor shall remain liable for any amount remaining unpaid after such application, with interest at the Default Rate. Any notification of intended disposition of the Collateral required by law shall be conclusively deemed reasonably and properly given if given by Secured Party at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of such disposition. Grantor hereby confirms, approves and ratifies all acts and deeds of Secured Party relating to the foregoing, and each part thereof, and expressly waives any and all claims of any nature, kind or description which it has or may hereafter have against Secured Party or its representatives, by reason of taking, selling or collecting any portion of the Collateral other than in the event of any intentional misconduct or gross negligence. Grantor consents to releases of the Collateral at any time (including prior to default) and to sales of the Collateral in groups, parcels or portions, or as an entirety, as Secured Party shall deem appropriate. Grantor expressly absolves Secured Party from any loss or decline in market value of any Collateral by reason of delay in the enforcement or assertion or non-enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Security Agreement.

 

 

4.3       Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (a) 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, (b) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Grantors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (c) to exercise collection remedies against Account Grantors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (d) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (e) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (f) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (g) 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, (h) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (i) to disclaim disposition warranties, including any warranties of title, (j) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (k) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would not be commercially unreasonable in Secured Party's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

 

4.4       UCC and Offset Rights. Secured Party may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to it under the UCC or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Security Agreement or in any other agreements between any Obligor and Secured Party, and may, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, including costs of collection and attorneys' and paralegals' fees and costs, and in such order of application as Secured Party may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of Secured Party to any Obligor, however created or arising, including balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Obligor in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to Secured Party. Grantor, on behalf of itself and any Obligor, hereby waives the benefit of any law that would otherwise restrict or limit Secured Party in the exercise of its right, which is hereby acknowledged, to appropriate at any time hereafter any such indebtedness owing from Secured Party to any Obligor.

 

4.5       Additional Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right and power to:

 

(a)       instruct Grantor, at its own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Grantors, to make payment directly to Secured Party of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or Secured Party may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of Secured Party, and/or of the assignment to Secured Party of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to Secured Party of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such Persons obligated thereon;

 

 

(b)       enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder;

 

(c)       take possession or control of any proceeds of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon;

 

(d)       extend, renew or modify for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) the Obligations or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;

 

(e)       grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Obligations, any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or to any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;

 

(f)       transfer the whole or any part of Capital Securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of Secured Party or Secured Party's nominee without disclosing, if Secured Party so desires, that such Capital Securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of Secured Party, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of such Capital Securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that Secured Party or such nominee makes any further transfer of such Capital Securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether Secured Party or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same;

 

(g)       vote the Collateral;

 

(h)       make an election with respect to the Collateral under Section 1111 of the Bankruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that any such action of Secured Party as set forth herein shall not, in any manner whatsoever, impair or affect the liability of Grantor hereunder, nor prejudice, waive, nor be construed to impair, affect, prejudice or waive Secured Party's rights and remedies at law, in equity or by statute, nor release, discharge, nor be construed to release or discharge, Grantor, any guarantor or other Person liable to Secured Party for the Obligations; and

 

(i)       at any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Security Agreement, or any of the other Obligations, or Secured Party's rights hereunder, under the Obligations.

 

Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Secured Party may do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that Secured Party shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral other than as a result of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

 

 

4.6       Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Secured Party (and any officer of Secured Party or any Person designated by Secured Party for that purpose) as Grantor's true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in Grantor's name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to (i) take such actions as are permitted in this Security Agreement, (ii) execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as Secured Party may require to perfect and preserve Secured Party's security interest in, and to enforce such interests in the Collateral, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, carry out any remedy provided for in this Security Agreement, including endorsing Grantor's name to checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment, and proceeds of the Collateral, executing change of address forms with the postmaster of the United States Post Office serving the address of Grantor, changing the address of Grantor to that of Secured Party, opening all envelopes addressed to Grantor and applying any payments contained therein to the Obligations. Grantor hereby acknowledges that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Security Agreement.

 

4.7       No Marshaling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including this Security Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party's rights under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

 

4.8       No Waiver. No Event of Default shall be waived by Secured Party except in writing. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of Secured Party to exercise any remedy available to Secured Party in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. Grantor agrees that in the event that Grantor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations or liabilities under this Security Agreement or any other agreements with Secured Party, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to Secured Party, and further agrees that Secured Party shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

4.9       Application of Proceeds. Secured Party will within three (3) Business Days after receipt of cash or solvent credits from collection of items of payment, proceeds of Collateral or any other source, apply the whole or any part thereof against the Obligations secured hereby. Secured Party shall further have the exclusive right to determine how, when and what application of such payments and such credits shall be made on the Obligations, and such determination shall be conclusive upon Grantor. Any proceeds of any disposition by Secured Party of all or any part of the Collateral may be first applied by Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and costs as provided for in Section 5.13 hereof.

If at any time or times hereafter Secured Party: (a) employs counsel for advice or other representation (i) with respect to this Security Agreement, (ii) to represent Secured Party in any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding or to commence, defend, or intervene or to take any other action in or with respect to any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, or proceeding (whether instituted by Secured Party, Grantor, or any other Person) in any way or respect relating to this Security Agreement, or (iii) to enforce any rights of Secured Party against Grantor or any other Person under of this Security Agreement; (b) takes any action to protect, collect, sell, liquidate, or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral; and/or (c) attempts to or enforces any of Secured Party's rights or remedies under this Security Agreement, the costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in any manner or way with respect to the foregoing, shall be part of the Obligations, payable by Grantor to Secured Party on demand.

 

5.14       Termination. This Security Agreement and the Liens and security interests granted hereunder shall not terminate until the full and complete performance and satisfaction and payment in full of all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted). Upon termination of this Security Agreement, Secured Party shall also deliver to Grantor (at the sole expense of Grantor) such UCC termination statements and such other documentation, without recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, as shall be reasonably requested by Grantor to effect the termination and release of the Liens and security interests in favor of Secured Party affecting the Collateral.

 

5.15       Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
