Section 4REMEDIES.
Upon the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Security Agreement or any other Event of Default, Secured Party shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents 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 of an Event of Default, declare its commitments to Debtors to be terminated and all Obligations to be immediately due and payable, or, if provided in the Loan Documents, all commitments of Secured Party to Debtors shall immediately terminate and all Obligations shall be automatically due and payable, all without demand, notice or further action of any kind required on the part of Secured Party. Debtors 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 under the Loan Documents, and hereby consents to, and waives notice of release, with or without consideration, of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary. In addition to the foregoing:
4.1Possession and Assembly of Collateral. The Secured Party may, without notice, demand or 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 Debtors’ 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 Debtors’ premises without cost to Secured Party.. At Secured Party’s request, each Debtor will, at Debtor’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 such Debtor.
8
4.2Sale of Collateral. The 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. Each Debtor 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. Each Debtor 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. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The 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 such Debtor. Each Debtor 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. Each Debtor 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. Each Debtor 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. Each Debtor 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 nonenforcement of any rights or remedies under this Security Agreement.
4.3Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products 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 remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and 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 as such Debtor, 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, including any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition
9
of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) 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. Each Debtor 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 any Debtor 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.
4.4UCC and Offset Rights. The 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 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. Each Debtor, 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.
4.5Additional Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right and power to:
| |
| (a) instruct each Debtor, at its own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Debtors, 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 and products of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon; |
10
| |
| (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 Secured Partyruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of Secured Partyruptcy 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 each Debtor 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, such Debtor, 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, the Loan Documents, or any of the other Obligations, or Secured Party’s rights hereunder, under the Obligations. |
Each Debtor hereby 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 except to the extent resulting from Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful or fraudulent misconduct.
4.6Attorney-in-Fact. Each Debtor 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 such Debtor’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in such Debtor’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 such Debtor’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 such Debtor,
11
changing the address of such Debtor to that of Secured Party, opening all envelopes addressed to Debtor and applying any payments contained therein to the Obligations. Each Debtor hereby acknowledges that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. Each Debtor 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.
4.7No Marshaling. The 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, each Debtor 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, each Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
4.8No 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. Each Debtor agrees that in the event that such Debtor 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.
