(a) Subject to Section 6(b) and Section 7, Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party, and any officer or agent of Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full, irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or in its own name, from time to time at Secured Party’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives Secured Party the power and right, on behalf of Grantor, without notice to or assent by Grantor to do the following:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all monies due or to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of Grantor, in its own name or otherwise to take possession of, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of monies due under any Collateral and to file any claim or take or commence any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and all such monies due under any Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge any Liens, including, without limitation, any tax lien, levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof, which actions shall be for the benefit of Secured Party and not Grantor;
(iii) to (1) direct any person liable for any payment under or in respect of any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due or to become due thereunder directly to Secured Party or as Secured Party shall direct, (2) receive payment of any and all monies, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time arising out of or in respect of any Collateral, (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other Instruments and Documents constituting or relating to the Collateral, (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (6) settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above, and in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as Secured Party may deem appropriate, (7) license, or, to the extent permitted by an applicable License, sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Copyright, Patent or Trademark throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as Secured Party shall in its discretion determine and (8) sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes; and
(iv) to do, at Secured Party’s option and Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Secured Party may reasonably deem
10.
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do.
(b) Secured Party agrees that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 and except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, it shall not exercise the power of attorney or any rights granted to Secured Party pursuant to this Section 6. Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are completely and indefeasibly paid and performed in full.
(c) If Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Secured Party, as provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, of Secured Party together with interest thereon at a rate of interest equal to the highest per annum rate of interest charged on the Loan, incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, shall be payable by Grantor to Secured Party within five (5) business days of demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations secured hereby.
7. SUBORDINATION. The indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Agreement is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Senior Indebtedness.
7.1 Insolvency Proceedings. If there shall occur any receivership, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy, reorganization, or arrangements with creditors (whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy or other insolvency laws), sale of all or substantially all of the assets, dissolution, liquidation, or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of Grantor, (a) no amount shall be paid by Grantor in respect of the principal of, interest on or other amounts due with respect to the Loan or the Loan Agreement at the time outstanding, unless and until the principal of and interest on the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding shall be paid in full, and (b) no claim or proof of claim shall be filed by or on behalf of Secured Party which shall assert any right to receive any payments in respect of the principal of and interest due under the Loan or the Loan Agreement except subject to the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all of the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding.
7.2 Default on Senior Indebtedness. If there shall occur an event of default which has been declared in writing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein, or in the instrument under which it is outstanding, permitting the holder to accelerate the maturity thereof and Secured Party shall have received written notice thereof from the holder of such Senior Indebtedness, then, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, or all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no payment shall be made in respect of the principal of or interest on the Loan Agreement.
7.3 Further Assurances. By acceptance of this Security Agreement, Secured Party agrees to execute and deliver customary forms of subordination agreement requested from
11.
time to time by the holder of the Senior Indebtedness and, as a condition to Secured Party’s rights hereunder, Grantor may require that Secured Party execute such forms of subordination agreement, provided that such forms shall not impose on Secured Party terms less favorable than those provided herein.
7.4 Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, Secured Party shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of such Senior Indebtedness (to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holder of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7) to receive payments and distributions of assets of Grantor applicable to the Senior Indebtedness. No such payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Indebtedness shall, as between Grantor and its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and Secured Party, be deemed to be a payment by Grantor to or on account of the Loan or the Loan Agreement; and for purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness to which Secured Party would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 7 shall, as between Grantor and its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and Secured Party, be deemed to be a payment by Grantor to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.
7.5 No Impairment. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holder of Senior Indebtedness under this Section 7 to receive cash, securities or other properties otherwise payable or deliverable to Secured Party, nothing contained in this Section 7 shall impair, as between Grantor and Secured Party, the obligation of Grantor, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to pay to Secured Party the principal and interest under the Loan Agreement as and when the same become due and payable, or shall prevent Secured Party, upon default hereunder, from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise provided herein or by applicable law.
7.6 Lien Subordination. Any Lien or security interest of Secured Party, whether now or hereafter existing in connection with the amounts due under the Loan Agreement, on any assets or property of Grantor or any proceeds or revenues therefrom which Secured Party may have at any time as security for any amounts due and obligations under the Loan Agreement, including the Lien and security interest created by this Security Agreement, shall be subordinate to all Liens or security interests now or hereafter granted to the holder of Senior Indebtedness by Grantor or by law notwithstanding the date, order or method of attachment or perfection of any such Lien or security interest or the provisions of any applicable law.
7.7 Applicability of Priorities. The priority of the holder of the Senior Indebtedness provided for herein with respect to security interests and Liens are applicable only to the extent that such security interests and Liens are enforceable and perfected and have not been avoided; if a security interest or Lien is judicially determined to be unenforceable or unperfected or is judicially avoided with respect to any claim of the holder of the Senior Indebtedness or any part thereof, the priority provided for herein shall not be available to such security interest or Lien to the extent that it is avoided or determined to be unenforceable or unperfected. The foregoing notwithstanding, Secured Party covenants and agrees that it shall not challenge, attack or seek to avoid any security interest or Lien to the extent that it secures the holder of the Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Section 7.7 affects the operation of any
12.
subordination of indebtedness or turnover of payment provisions hereof, or of any other agreements among any of the parties hereto.
7.8 Reliance of Holders of Senior Indebtedness. Secured Party, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement to and a consideration of the holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the creation of the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Agreement, and the holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and holding, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.
8. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Subject to the provisions of Section 7, beginning on the date which is ten (10) business days after any Event of Default shall have occurred and while such Event of Default is continuing:
(a) Secured Party may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement or the Loan Agreement, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Grantor or any other person, may (i) reclaim, take possession, recover, store, maintain, finish, repair, prepare for sale or lease, shop, advertise for sale or lease and sell or lease (in the manner provided herein) the Collateral, and in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral and collection of the accounts receivable pledged as Collateral, use any Trademark, Copyright, or process used or owned by Grantor and (ii) forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem commercially reasonable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Grantor further agrees, at Secured Party’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale as provided in Section 8(e), below, with Grantor remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application. Grantor agrees that Secured Party need not give more than twenty (20) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters.
(b) As to any Collateral constituting certificated securities or uncertificated securities, if, at any time when Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of such Collateral hereunder, such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (as so amended the “Act”), Secured Party may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable, but
13.
subject to the other requirements of this Section 8(b), and shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, (i) in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Act; (ii) approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii) restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 8(b), if any of such Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act at the time of any proposed sale hereunder, then Secured Party shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but may, in its sole discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to such restrictions as Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.
(c) Grantor also agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses of Secured Party, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.
(d) Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 7, the Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by Secured Party in the following order of priorities:
FIRST, to Secured Party in an amount sufficient to pay in full the costs of Secured Party in connection with such sale, disposition or other realization, including all fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Secured Party in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees;
SECOND, to Secured Party in an amount equal to the then unpaid Secured Obligations; and
FINALLY, upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, to Grantor or its representatives, in accordance with the UCC or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
9. INDEMNITY. Grantor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party and its officers, employees, and agents against (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Secured Party as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to transactions between Secured Party and Grantor, whether under this Security
14.
Agreement or otherwise (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses arising from or out of Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
10. 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 creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s property and assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured 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 Secured 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 Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
11.1 Waivers; Amendments. Any amendment of this Security Agreement shall require the written consent of the Grantor and the Secured Party.
11.2 Termination of this Security Agreement. Subject to Section 10 hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).
11.3 Successor and Assigns. This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Grantor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of Secured Party, any future holder of any of the Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the lien granted to Secured Party hereunder.
11.4 Governing Law. In all respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, this Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and performed in such state, without regard to the principles thereof regarding conflict of laws, except to the extent that the UCC provides for the application of the law of a different jurisdiction.
15.
