1. Security Interest and Collateral. To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations (defined below) which Debtor may now or at any time hereafter owe to the Secured Party, the Debtor hereby grants the Secured Party a security interest (herein called the “Security Interest”) in the following property (collectively, the “Collateral”): (i) the issued and outstanding capital stock, equity securities, membership interests, membership units, units, and ownership interests, and rights issued or granted in connection with any of the foregoing, of each Person (including, but not limited to, New York Publishing Group, Inc. and Andover Games, LLC) that are now or hereafter owned or held of record or beneficially by Debtor, and the certificates representing such shares, securities and/or interests, if any; (ii) all other capital stock, equity securities, warrants, options, membership interests, membership units, units, and ownership interests, and rights issued or granted in connection with the foregoing, issued by such Person now or hereafter owned or held of record or beneficially by Debtor at any time (and the certificates or other documents or instruments representing such shares, securities and/or other interests, if any); (iii) all rights associated with anything of the foregoing (including any rights under any shareholders agreements, investor rights agreements, registration rights agreements, and similar agreements); and (iv) any and all replacements, products and proceeds of, and dividends, distributions in property or securities, returns of capital or other distributions made on or with respect to, any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Collateral” shall not include voting equity interests of any CFC, solely to the extent that such equity interests represents more than 65% of the outstanding voting equity interests of such CFC, or if a pledge of such voting equity interests of such CFC otherwise causes negative tax implications to Debtor. For purposes of this paragraph, “CFC” means a controlled foreign corporation (as that term is defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).
For purposes of this Agreement, “Obligations” shall mean, collectively, all now existing or hereafter arising obligations of the Debtor under that certain Continuing Guaranty executed by Debtor, New York Publishing Group, Inc., and Andover Games, LLC in favor of Secured Party, dated on or about the date of this Agreement, and all obligations of Debtor under any other Loan Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement (defined below)), in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising.
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Debtor represents, warrants and covenants that:
2.1 Exhibit A attached hereto completely and accurately identifies, as of the date hereof, (i) the number of issued and outstanding equity interests of each Person held by the Debtor and (ii) the percentage of the Debtor’s ownership of the aggregate issued and outstanding equity interests of each such Person.
2.2 The Debtor will duly endorse, in blank, each and every instrument constituting Collateral by signing on said instrument or by signing a separate document of assignment or transfer, if required by the Secured Party. The Debtor represents and warrants that all actions necessary or desirable to perfect and establish the first priority of, or otherwise protect, Secured Party’s Security Interest in the Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, have been duly taken, upon (A) the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (B) the taking of possession by Secured Party (or its agent or designee) of any certificates representing the Collateral, together with undated powers (or other documents of transfer acceptable to Secured Party) endorsed in blank by Debtor; (C) the filing of financing statements in the State of organization of Debtor and the delivery of an Issuer’s Acknowledgment in the form of Exhibit B with respect to the Collateral that are not represented by certificates. The Debtor has delivered to (and with respect to any certificates acquired after the date of this Agreement, will deliver to) Secured Party all certificates representing the Collateral owned by Debtor to the extent such Collateral is represented by certificates, and undated powers (or other documents of transfer acceptable to Secured Party) endorsed in blank with respect to such certificates. None of the Collateral owned or held by Debtor has been issued or transferred in violation of any securities registration, securities disclosure, or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject.
2.3 The Debtor is the owner of the Collateral free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests, except the Security Interest and any restrictive legend appearing on any instrument constituting Collateral and liens for taxes not yet delinquent or that are being contested in good faith and provided the Debtor has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.
2.4 The Debtor will keep the Collateral free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests, except the Security Interest and any restrictive legend appearing on any instrument constituting Collateral and any tax liens not yet delinquent or that are being contested in good faith and provided the Debtor has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.
2.5 The Debtor will pay, when due, all taxes and other governmental charges levied or assessed upon or against any Collateral, except to the extent any of such taxes or charges are being contested in good faith and adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.
-2-
2.6 At any time, upon request by the Secured Party, the Debtor will deliver to the Secured Party all notices, financial statements, reports or other communications received by the Debtor as an owner or holder of the Collateral.
2.7 The Debtor will upon receipt deliver to the Secured Party in pledge as additional Collateral all securities distributed on account of the Collateral such as stock dividends and securities resulting from stock splits, reorganizations and recapitalizations.
3. Rights of the Secured Party. The Debtor agrees that the Secured Party may at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and without notice or demand of any kind, (i) notify the obligor on or issuer of any Collateral to make payment to the Secured Party of any amounts due or distributable thereon; (ii) in the Debtor’s name or the Secured Party’s name enforce collection of any Collateral by suit or otherwise, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part of it, or compromise, extend or renew for any period any obligation evidenced by the Collateral; (iii) receive all proceeds of the Collateral; and (iv) hold any increase or profits received from the Collateral as additional security for the Obligations, except that any money received from the Collateral shall, at the Secured Party’s option, be applied in reduction of the Obligations, in such order of application as the Secured Party may determine, or be remitted to the Debtor.
4. Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute an event of default under this Agreement (herein called “Event of Default”): (i) the Debtor shall fail to pay any or all of the Obligations when due or (if payable on demand) on demand, or the Debtor shall fail to observe or perform any covenant or agreement in this Agreement; (ii) any “Event of Default” shall occur under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Kitara Media, LLC and Secured Party (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); (iii) any representation or warranty made, or deemed made, by the Debtor shall prove false or misleading in any material respect; or (iv) an Event of Default, as defined in any credit agreement or other instrument or agreement evidencing or governing any or all of the Obligations, shall occur and be continuing.
5. Remedies upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party may exercise any one or more of the following rights or remedies: (i) declare all unmatured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment or other notice or demand; (ii) exercise all voting and other rights as a holder of the Collateral; (iii) exercise and enforce any or all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of California, including the right to offer and sell the Collateral privately to purchasers who will agree to take the Collateral for investment and not with a view to distribution and who will agree to the imposition of restrictive legends on the certificates representing the Collateral, and the right to arrange for a sale which would otherwise qualify as exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933; and if notice to the Debtor of any intended disposition of the Collateral or any other intended action is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given at least 10 calendar days prior to the date of intended disposition or other action; and/or (iv) exercise or enforce any or all other rights or remedies available to the Secured Party by law or agreement against the Collateral, against the Debtor or against any other person or property.
-3-
6. Miscellaneous. Any disposition of the Collateral in the manner provided in Section 5 shall be deemed commercially reasonable to the extent permitted by applicable law. This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or discharged, and the Security Interest can be released, only explicitly in a writing signed by the Secured Party. A waiver signed by the Secured Party shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any of the Secured Party’s rights or remedies. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently, at the Secured Party’s option, and the exercise or enforcement of any one such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any other. All notices to be given to the Debtor shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by telecopier to the Debtor at its address or telecopier number, as the case may be, set forth above or at the most recent address or telecopier number shown on the Secured Party’s records. All requests under Section 9-210 of the Uniform Commercial Code (i) shall be made in a writing signed by a person duly authorized by Debtor, (ii) shall be personally delivered, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier of national reputation, (iii) shall be deemed to be sent when received by the Secured Party, and (iv) shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 9-210. The Debtor requests that the Secured Party respond to all such requests which on their face appear to come from an authorized individual and releases the Secured Party from any liability for so responding. The Debtor shall pay Secured Party the maximum amount allowed by law for responding to such requests. The Secured Party’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if the Secured Party exercises reasonable care in physically safekeeping such Collateral or, in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third person, and the Secured Party need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to preserve any rights the Debtor may have against prior parties, to exercise at all or in any particular manner any voting rights which may be available with respect to any Collateral, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of Collateral in any particular order of application. The Debtor will reimburse the Secured Party for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Secured Party in the protection, defense or enforcement of the Security Interest, including expenses incurred in any litigation or bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtor and the Secured Party and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns and shall take effect when signed by the Debtor and delivered to the Secured Party, and the Debtor waives notice of the Secured Party’s acceptance hereof. If any provision or application of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or applications which can be given effect, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the unlawful or unenforceable provision or application had never been contained herein or prescribed hereby. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations. If this Agreement is signed by more than one person as the Debtor, the term “Debtor” shall refer to each of them separately and to both or all of them jointly; all such persons shall be bound both severally and jointly with the other(s); and the Obligations shall include all debts, liabilities and obligations owed to the Secured Party by any Debtor solely or by both or several or all Debtors jointly or jointly and severally, and all property described in Section 1 shall be included as part of the Collateral, whether it is owned jointly by both or all Debtors or is owned in whole or in part by one (or more) of them. Unless the context otherwise requires, all terms used herein which are defined in Articles 1 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect in California, shall have the meanings therein stated.
