If so requested by Secured Party, all insurance policies required under this subsection (d) shall provide that they shall not be terminated or cancelled and shall provide that no such policy be materially changed without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Debtor and Secured        Party. Receipt of notice of termination or cancellation of any such insurance policies or reduction of coverages or amounts thereunder shall entitle Secured Party to renew any such policies, cause the coverages and amounts thereof to be maintained at levels required pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (d) or otherwise to obtain similar insurance in place of such policies, in each case at the expense of Debtor.

(e) If so requested by Secured Party at any time from and after the Collateral Augmentation Date, all insurance policies shall provide that any losses payable thereunder be payable directly to Secured Party unless written authority to the contrary is obtained. In the event that Debtor shall receive any proceeds of any insurance (other than in respect of third        party liability insurance) it shall immediately cause such proceeds to be paid over to Secured Party. If the Collateral shall be materially damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Debtor shall give prompt notice thereof to Secured Party. Additionally, Debtor shall in any event promptly give Secured Party notice of all reports made to insurance companies in respect of any claim in excess of $50,000. No settlement on account of any loss covered by insurance        shall be made for less than insured value without the consent of Secured Party. In its sole discretion Secured Party may apply all or any portion of such insurance proceeds to the payment of Obligations or may release all or any portion thereof to Debtor.

(f)  If and when Debtor shall obtain rights to any new patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names or copyrights, or otherwise acquire or become entitled to the benefit of, or apply for registration of, any of the foregoing, Debtor (i) shall promptly notify Secured Party thereof and (ii) hereby authorizes Secured Party to modify, amend, or supplement        Schedule 2and from time to time to include any of the foregoing and make all necessary or appropriate filings with respect thereto.

(h) If so requested by Secured Party at any time from and after the Collateral Augmentation Date, Debtor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Person from whom Debtor leases any premises, and from each other Person at whose premises any Collateral is at any time present (including any bailee, warehouseman or similar Person), any such collateral access,        subordination, landlord waiver, bailment, consent and estoppel agreements as Secured Party may require, in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party.

(i)  Debtor shall comply with all of its material obligations under any Pledged Collateral Agreements to which it is a party and shall enforce all of its rights thereunder. (ii) Debtor will take all actions reasonably necessary to cause each Pledged Collateral Agreement relating to Collateral consisting of any and all limited, limited liability and general partnership        interests and limited liability company interests of any type or nature (“Partnership and LLC Collateral”) to provide specifically at all times that: (A) no Partnership and LLC Collateral shall be a security governed by Article 8 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (B) no consent of any member, manager, partner or other Person shall be a condition to the admission as a member or partner of any transferee that        acquires ownership of the Partnership and LLC Collateral as a result of the exercise by Secured Party of any remedy hereunder or under applicable law. Additionally, Debtor agrees that no Partnership and LLC Collateral (A) shall be dealt in or traded on any securities exchange or in any securities market, (B) shall constitute an investment company security, or (C) shall be held by Debtor in a securities account. (iii) Debtor shall not vote to enable or take any other action        to amend or terminate, or waive compliance with any of the terms of, any Pledged Collateral Agreement, certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents, or otherwise cast any vote or grant or give any consent, waiver or ratification in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in any way that materially changes the rights of Debtor with respect to any Pledged Collateral in a manner adverse to the Secured Party or that adversely affects the validity,        perfection or priority of Secured Party’s security interest therein.

(j)  In the event that Debtor acquires rights in any subsidiary after the date hereof, it shall deliver to Secured Party a completed supplement to Schedule 3, reflecting such new subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the security interest of Secured Party shall attach to any such        subsidiary immediately upon Debtor’s acquisition of rights therein and shall not be affected by the failure of Debtor to deliver any such supplement to Schedule 3.

|--------|-----------|------------------------------------------------------|

(a) At the request of Secured Party, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all remittances received by Debtor in respect of its accounts and other rights to payment shall be held in trust for Secured Party and, in accordance with Secured Party’s instructions, remitted to Secured Party or deposited to an account of Secured Party in the form        received (with any necessary endorsements or instruments of assignment or transfer).

reasonably necessary or advisable to maintain, protect, realize upon and preserve the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Secured Party agrees that, except upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall not exercise the power of attorney, or any rights granted to Secured Party, pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii)        and (iv). The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as the Obligations have not been paid and performed in full. Debtor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that Secured Party shall lawfully and in good faith do or cause to be done by virtue of and in compliance with this Section 6.

SECTION 7   Events of Default. Any of the following events which shall occur and be continuing shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) Any material impairment in the value of the Collateral or the priority of Secured Party’s Lien hereunder.

(b) Any levy upon, seizure or attachment of a material portion of the Collateral which shall not have been rescinded or withdrawn within 20 days after the date of such levy, seizure or attachment.

|   | (c) | Any “Event of Default” (as defined in the Note) shall occur. |
|--------|-----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

(d) Any loss, theft or substantial damage to, or destruction of, any material portion of the Collateral (unless within 5 Business Days after the occurrence of any such event, Debtor furnishes to Secured Party evidence satisfactory to Secured Party that the amount of any such loss, theft, damage to or destruction of the Collateral is fully insured under policies naming Secured Party        as an additional named insured or loss payee).

|   | SECTION 8 | Remedies. |
|--------|-----------|-----------|

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Secured Party may declare any of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable and shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement or any other Convertible Note Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable laws. Without        limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Secured Party may, subject to the UCC and other applicable law, peaceably and without notice enter any premises of Debtor, take possession of any the Collateral, remove or dispose of all or part of the Collateral on any premises of such Debtor or elsewhere, or, in the case of equipment, render it nonfunctional, and otherwise collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, and demand, give receipt for,        settle, renew, extend, exchange, compromise, adjust, or sue for all or any part of the Collateral, as Secured Party may determine; (ii) Secured Party may require any Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at any place and time designated by Secured Party; (iii) Secured Party may secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof (to the extent and in the manner provided by applicable law);        (iv) Secured Party may sell, resell, lease, use, assign, license, sublicense, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of Debtor’s assets, without charge or liability to Secured Party therefor) at public or private sale, by

sf-2792320

 

 

----

one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, for cash or credit, or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, all as Secured Party deems advisable; provided, however, that Debtor shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are        finally collected by Secured Party. Debtor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to make a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral, by reason of prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws or otherwise, and expressly agrees that a private sale to a restricted group of purchasers for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale. Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to        the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption Debtor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by law. Secured Party shall give Debtor such notice of any private or public sales as may be required by the UCC or other applicable law.

(b) For the purpose of enabling Secured Party to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 8during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable, non-exclusive and assignable license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation to Debtor) to use,        license or sublicense any intellectual property Collateral.

(c) Secured Party shall not have any obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Secured Party has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them, and Secured Party may release, modify or waive any Collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting        Secured Party’s rights against Debtor. Debtor waives any right it may have to require Secured Party to pursue any third Person for any of the Obligations. Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the        Collateral. Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Debtor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party        may resell the Collateral and Debtor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

(d) The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral, and any other amounts received in respect of the Collateral the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied first, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of Secured Party in exercising        or enforcing its rights hereunder and in collecting or attempting to collect any of the Collateral, and to the payment of all other amounts payable to Secured Party pursuant to Section 12hereof; and second, to the payment of the Obligations. Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance in full of the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to Debtor or otherwise        disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable law. Debtor shall remain liable to Secured Party for any deficiency which exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral.

SECTION 11      No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the        exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to Secured Party.

|   | SECTION 12 | Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. |
|--------|------------|--------------------------------------|

(a) Debtor agrees to pay on demand: (i) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Secured Party, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Secured Party, in connection with the administration of this Agreement, and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the terms thereof, and the custody of the Collateral; (ii) all appraisal, audit, consulting, search,        recording, filing and similar costs, fees and expenses incurred or sustained by Secured Party in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral; and (iii) all costs and expenses of Secured Party, and the fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of, and preservation of any rights or interests under, this Agreement and the Note, including in any out-of-court workout or other refinancing or restructuring or in any bankruptcy case, and        the protection, sale or collection of, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including all expenses of taking, collecting, holding, sorting, handling, preparing for sale, selling, or the like, and other such expenses of sales and collections of Collateral.
