To the extent that any of the Collateral consists of accounts, promissory notes, instruments, or other items for which payments are due or coming due, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Bank, until Bank exercises its rights to make collection, the applicable Obligated Group Party will diligently collect such Collateral.

 

**5.             Obligations of Bank with Respect to Collateral**.  Neither Bank’s acceptance of the assignment and security interests granted hereunder nor any exercise by Bank of its rights and remedies hereunder shall be deemed to be an assumption by Bank of any obligation or liability of any Obligated Group Party with respect to any Collateral or under the terms of any Collateral Document, and each Obligated Group Party shall indemnify, defend, and hold Bank harmless for, from, and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations, and costs or expenses, including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or in any way connected with any such obligation or liability.  Bank’s obligations with respect to Collateral in its possession shall be limited to the duty to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such Collateral; provided, however, that Bank shall have no duty to take any steps to preserve the rights of any Obligated Group Party against other persons, or to initiate any action to protect any Collateral.  Upon any transfer by Bank of any or all of the Obligations, Bank may transfer any or all of the Collateral and shall thereupon be fully discharged of liability and responsibility with respect to the Obligations and/or Collateral so transferred; but Bank shall retain all applicable rights and interest hereunder with respect to any Obligations and/or Collateral not then transferred.

(a)           A default or Event of Default occurs under any of the Loan Documents (as defined in the applicable document, subject to applicable notice and cure periods).

 

(b)           Any Obligated Group Party fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement within ten (10) days after Bank’s written demand.

(e)           Any Obligated Group Party becomes insolvent or the subject of any bankruptcy or other voluntary or involuntary proceeding, in or out of court, for the adjustment of debtor-creditor relationships (an “Insolvency Proceeding”), or any Obligated Group Party consents to the appointment or taking of possession by a receiver (or similar official) of any Obligated Group Party, or its property, or any Obligated Group Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; provided, however, that an involuntary Insolvency Proceeding shall not be considered an Event of Default hereunder if it is either (i) consented to in writing by Bank, or (ii) has been dismissed within ninety (90) days of the filing thereof.

 

**6.2          Remedies**.  If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, Bank may exercise any right or remedy available at law or in equity or by statute, including but not limited to all rights, powers and remedies of an owner and as a secured party under the UCC, and all of Bank’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  Bank’s rights and remedies, each of which may be exercised with or without further notice to any Obligated Group Party, shall specifically include, without limitation, the right to: (a) exercise all rights and remedies available upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under any Loan Document, including without limitation the right to declare any and/or all Obligations immediately due and payable and to foreclose Bank’s security interests in any and/or all Collateral by any means allowed by law, with or without judicial process; (b) notify any person obligated with respect to any Collateral that the same has been assigned to Bank and that all payments thereon are to be made to Bank, and (c) renew, extend, amend, or otherwise modify any Collateral Document (subject to any required consents of third parties required pursuant to the terms thereof) and to otherwise exercise rights and remedies and act with respect to any Collateral as if it were the owner thereof.

 

Without limiting the foregoing, Bank’s rights after an Event of Default hereunder specifically include it’s right, at its option to: (i) declare any Obligations, including any Credit Facility, immediately due and payable, without notice or demand, (ii) enforce the security interest given hereunder pursuant to the UCC and/or any other applicable law, (iii) enforce the security interest of Bank, or exercise any right of setoff, in any deposit account of any Obligated Group Party by applying such account to the Obligations in such order and manner as Bank shall determine, (iv) grant extensions and compromise or settle claims with respect to the Collateral for less than face value, all without prior notice to any Obligated Group Party, (v) have a receiver appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral, and/or (vi) take such measures as Bank may deem necessary or advisable to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, insure, prepare for sale or lease, market for sale or lease, sell or lease, or otherwise dispose of any Collateral (each a “Collateral Disposition”).

**6.3          Other Rights of Bank**.

 

(a)**          **The remedies provided herein in favor of Bank are not exclusive, but are cumulative and in addition to all other remedies in favor of Bank existing under the Loan Documents, and at law or in equity.  Without limiting the foregoing, Bank may exercise its rights with respect to a portion of the Collateral without exercising its rights with respect to any other portion of the Collateral, and may exercise any of its rights under this Agreement without any obligation to enforce any of its rights to any other security for the Obligations.

 

(b)**          **Bank may comply with any applicable federal, state, or local law or regulatory requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.  Bank may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral, and specifically disclaim any warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a specific purpose or the like, and this procedure will not be considered to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the.  Each Obligated Group Party acknowledges that a private sale of the Collateral may result in less proceeds than a public sale.  Each Obligated Group Party acknowledges that the Collateral may be sold at a loss to such Obligated Group Party, and that, in such event, Bank shall have no liability or responsibility to such Obligated Group Party or any other Obligated Group Party for such loss.

 

(c)           Upon any public or private sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, (i) Bank may bid for and purchase the Collateral being sold, and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess, and dispose of such Collateral in its own absolute right without further accountability, and (i) all rights, title, interests, claims, and demands whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of any Obligated Group Party of, in, and to the property so sold will be divested; such sale will be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against each Obligated Group Party and its respective successors and assigns.  Each Obligated Group Party shall make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed, certificate, bill of sale, and instrument of assignment and transfer of the Collateral sold.  To the extent it may do so lawfully, Each Obligated Group Party agrees not to insist upon, plead, claim, or take the benefit or advantage of, at any time, or in any manner whatsoever, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption laws, or any law permitting them to direct the order in which the Collateral or any portion thereof will be sold, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent, or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of the this Agreement, and each Obligated Group Party hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such laws, and covenant that it will not hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any power granted or delegated to Bank in this Agreement, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such laws were in force.

 

(d)           Following an Event of Default, Bank is expressly granted the right, at its option, to transfer the Collateral, or any part thereof, to itself, or its nominee, and to receive the payments, collections, monies, income, proceeds, attributable or accruing thereto, and to hold same as security for the Obligations, or to apply same to the Obligations secured by this Agreement in such order and manner as Bank shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.  Except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, the right of Bank to take possession of the Collateral following an Event of Default hereunder may be exercised without resort to any court proceeding or judicial process, and without any hearing, whatsoever.  Each Obligated Group Party expressly waives any and all rights (i) with regard to judicial process or hearing prior to the exercise of Bank’s right to take possession and control of the Collateral after an Event of Default, and (ii) to marshalling of assets, including such right with respect to the Collateral.

 

(e)           Each Obligated Group Party agrees that Bank may at its option at any time, whether or not any Obligated Group Party is in default, notify any account debtors, any buyers of the Collateral, or any other persons of Bank’s interest in the Collateral.  Bank is expressly granted the right, at its option, following an Event of Default, to demand and collect any payments and proceeds of the

 

11

----

 

Collateral.  In connection with the foregoing, each Obligated Group Party irrevocably authorizes Bank, and irrevocably appoints Bank as such Obligated Group Party’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to endorse or sign such Obligated Group Party’s name on all checks, drafts, collections, receipts, and other documents, and to take possession of and open the mail addressed to such Obligated Group Party and remove therefrom any payments and proceeds of the Collateral, such appointment being a power coupled with an interest.

 

(f)            In connection with any Collateral Disposition, Bank may (A) require the applicable Obligated Group Party to assemble all of any portion of the Collateral and make it available to Bank at a place designated by Bank, and/or enter upon the property where any such Collateral is located and take possession of such Collateral, and use such property (including any buildings and facilities) and any of such Obligated Group Party ‘s equipment, if Bank deems such use necessary or advisable for or in connection with such Collateral Disposition, and/or (B) use or transfer, without any additional consideration to any Obligated Group Party, any of such Obligated Group Party’s rights and interests in any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Obligated Group Party, including, but not limited to, all trade secrets, computer software, service marks, trademarks, trade names, trade styles, copyrights, patents, applications for any of the foregoing, customer lists, working drawings, instructional manuals, and rights in processes for technical manufacturing, packaging and labeling in which such Obligated Group Party has any right or interest, whether by ownership, license, contract or otherwise, if Bank deems such use or transfer necessary or advisable for or in connection with such Collateral Disposition.  Each Obligated Group Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Bank as such Obligated Group Party’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to perform all acts and execute all documents in connection with any Collateral Disposition, such appointment being a power coupled with an interest.

 

(g)           Each Obligated Group Party agrees to take all steps necessary to avoid the violation of any current and future securities laws, and consents to any steps Bank takes to avoid violation of the same.  Each Obligated Group Party further agrees to enter into any amendments hereto that Bank may reasonably request to avoid the violation of such laws.  Each Obligated Group Party recognizes that, due to certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable securities laws, Bank may, with respect to any securities, consider it advisable to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will agree to acquire any securities for their own accounts for investment and not to engage in a distribution of resale thereof, and that private sales so made may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if such securities were sold at public sale.  Each Obligated Group Party acknowledges that the price received for the purchase of such Collateral may be substantially lower than such Obligated Group Party might have negotiated under other circumstances, and each Obligated Group Party agrees that such procedures are commercially reasonable.  If a deficiency remains due, the Borrower or applicable Obligated Group Party, as the case may be, must pay the same promptly to Bank.

 

**6.4**          **Setoff**.  As additional security for the Obligations, including the payment and performance of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, each Obligated Group Party hereby grants Bank a security interest in, a lien on, and an express contractual right to set off against each account (including all deposit accounts), including all depository account balances, cash, and any other property of such Obligated Group Party, now or hereafter in the possession of Bank and the right to refuse to allow withdrawals from any account.  Bank may, at any time upon the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, or an event that, with notice or the passage of time, or both, could become an Event of Default, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, setoff against any amounts outstanding under the Obligations, whether or not any of the Obligations are then due or have been accelerated, all without any advance or contemporaneous notice of demand of any kind to any Obligated Group Party, such notice and demand being expressly waived.

 

12

----

 

**6.5**          **Surrendered Payments**.  In the event that Bank makes any Surrendered Payment, including pursuant to a negotiated settlement, the Surrendered Payments, the Surrendered Payments shall immediately and automatically without any further action required on behalf of Bank or any other party, be reinstated as Obligations, regardless of whether this Agreement has been terminated, cancelled, or released pursuant to its terms or otherwise and regardless of whether Bank has surrendered, terminated, cancelled, or released this Agreement prior to returning any Surrendered Payments

 

**7.             Miscellaneous Provisions**.

 

**7.1          No Waiver; Consents**.  Each waiver by Bank shall be in writing, and no waiver may be construed as a continuing waiver.  No waiver will be implied from Bank’s delay in exercising or failure to exercise any right or remedy against any party or any security.  Bank’s consent to any act or omission by any Obligated Group Party may not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or as a waiver of the requirement for Bank’s consent to be obtained in any future or other instance.

 

**7.2          Purpose and Effect of Bank Approval**.  Bank’s approval of any matter in connection with this Agreement is for the sole purpose of protecting Bank’s security and rights.  No such approval will result in a waiver of any default of any Obligated Group Party.  In no event may Bank’s approval be a representation of any kind with regard to the matter being approved.

 

**7.3          Notices**.  All notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and be given by personal delivery, overnight receipted courier (such as Airborne or Federal Express) or by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, sent to the party at its address appearing below its signature.  Notices shall be effective upon the first to occur of receipt, when proper delivery is refused, or the expiration of forty-eight (48) hours after deposit in registered or certified United States mail as described above.  Addresses for notice may be changed by any party by notice to any other party in accordance with this Section.

 

**7.4          Actions**.  If any Obligated Group Party fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Bank may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Bank incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the applicable non-performing party.  Bank also shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence, appear in, and defend any action or proceeding that might affect its security hereunder.  The applicable Obligated Group Party shall pay promptly on demand all of Bank’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and legal fees and expenses of Bank’s counsel incurred in those actions or proceedings.

In all other actions or proceedings, including any matter arising out of or relating to any Insolvency Proceeding, Borrower and each other applicable Obligated Party agrees to pay all of Bank’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing or protecting Bank’s rights or interests.  From the time(s) incurred until paid in full to Bank, all such sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  Whenever any Obligated Group Party is obligated to pay or reimburse Bank for any attorneys’ fees, those fees include the allocated costs for services of in-house counsel, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

 

**7.7          Governing Law**.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Arizona, without regards to the choice of law rules of that state, except (a) to the

Each Obligated Group Party consents to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State court within such state, submits to venue in such state, and also consents to service of process by any means authorized by Federal law or the law of such state.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Obligated Group Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise in such suit, action, or proceeding, any claim that (i) such Obligated Group Party is not subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the above-referenced state or the United States District Court for such state, or (ii) such suit, action, or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) the venue of such suit, action, or proceeding is improper.
