The proceeds of any casualty insurance in respect of any casualty loss of any of the Collateral shall, subject to the rights, if any, of other parties with an interest having priority in the property covered thereby, (a) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be disbursed to Debtor for direct application by Debtor solely to the repair or replacement of Debtor’s property so damaged or destroyed, and (b) in all other circumstances, be held by Secured Party as cash collateral for the Obligations.  Secured Party may, at its reasonable option which option shall be exercised within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such proceeds, disburse from time to time all or any part of such proceeds so held as cash collateral, upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may reasonably prescribe, for direct application by Debtor solely to the repair or replacement of Debtor’s property so damaged or destroyed, or Secured Party may apply all or any part of such proceeds to the Obligations.

 

10.3           Continuation of Insurance.  All policies of insurance shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written cancellation notice to Secured Party.  In the event of failure by Debtor to provide and maintain insurance as herein provided, Secured Party may, at its option, provide such insurance and charge the amount thereof to Debtor.  Debtor shall furnish Secured Party with certificates of insurance and policies evidencing compliance with the foregoing insurance provision.

 

11.           Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.

 

11.1           Expenses Incurred by Secured Party.  In Secured Party’s discretion, if Debtor fails to do so, Secured Party may discharge taxes and other encumbrances (other than Permitted Exceptions) at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral, unless such taxes and encumbrances are being contested in good faith, maintain any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees or insurance premiums.  Debtor agrees to reimburse Secured Party on demand for all expenditures so made.  Secured Party shall have no obligation to Debtor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed as the waiver or cure of any Default or Event of Default.

 

11.2           Secured Party’s Obligations and Duties.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder.  Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to Secured Party or to which Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times.  Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9a-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.

12.           Securities and Deposits.  Secured Party may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations.  Whether or not any Obligations are due, Secured Party may following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral.  Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from Secured Party to Debtor may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations.

 

13.           Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor shall, at the request and option of Secured Party, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of Secured Party in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to Secured Party or to any financial institution designated by Secured Party as Secured Party’s agent therefor, and Secured Party may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon Debtor, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral.  After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, Debtor shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Debtor as trustee for Secured Party without commingling the same with other funds of Debtor and shall turn the same over to Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments.  Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Secured Party to the Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

 

14.           Power of Attorney.

 

14.1           Appointment and Powers of Secured Party.  Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor or in Secured Party’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of Debtor, without notice to or assent by Debtor, to do the following:

 

(a)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code and as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Secured Party deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all at least as fully and effectively as Debtor might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state, local or other agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, (ii) upon written notice to Debtor, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if Secured Party so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities, and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and

 

  

8

  

 

(b)           to the extent that Debtor’s authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without Debtor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in Debtor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require Debtor’s signature.

 

14.2           Ratification by Debtor.  To the extent permitted by law, Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

14.3           No Duty on Secured Party.  The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act, except for Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

15.           Rights and Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party, without any other notice to or demand upon Debtor, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Secured Party may, so far as Debtor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom.  During continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may in its discretion require Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of Debtor’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as Secured Party may reasonably designate.  Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Secured Party shall give to Debtor at least ten Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made.  Debtor hereby acknowledges that ten Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice.  In addition, Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.

 

16.           Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies.  To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, 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 fail 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 fail 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 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, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition 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.  Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 16 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would fulfill Secured Party’s duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of the State of Utah or any other relevant jurisdiction in Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 16.   Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 16 shall be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 16.

17.           No Waiver by Secured Party, etc.  Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party.  No delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy.  A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.  All rights and remedies of Secured Party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as Secured Party deems expedient.

 

18.           Suretyship Waivers by Debtor.  Debtor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description.  With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, Debtor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Secured Party may deem advisable.  Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in Section 11.2.  Debtor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

 

19.           Marshalling.  Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to 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, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this 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, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

 

20.           Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses.  Debtor shall pay to Secured Party on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Secured Party in protecting, preserving or enforcing Secured Party’s rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral.  After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as Secured Party may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due.  Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9a-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code, any excess shall be returned to Debtor.  In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

 

21.           Overdue Amounts.  Until paid, all amounts due and payable by Debtor hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment, interest at the rate of interest for overdue principal set forth in the Loan Documents.

 

  

10

  

 

22.           CHOICE OF LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF UTAH WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE TRIED AND LITIGATED IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SALT LAKE, STATE OF UTAH OR, IN ANY OTHER COURT IN WHICH A PARTY SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY.  EACH OF DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SALT LAKE, STATE OF UTAH.

 

23.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH OF DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

24.           WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DEBTOR SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST SECURED PARTY, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS, THE LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF.

 

25.           MISCELLANEOUS WAIVERS.  WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), DEBTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF SALT LAKE, COUNTY OF SALT LAKE AND STATE OF UTAH, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE SECURED PARTY FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  DEBTOR FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY UTAH STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF SALT LAKE AND COUNTY OF SALT LAKE MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO DEBTOR AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED IN THE GUARANTY OR THE LOAN AGREEMENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF DEBTOR SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.

Exhibit 10.4

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of March 17, 2011, by and among UTAH MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC., a Utah corporation (“Debtor”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“Secured Party”), in conjunction with that certain Security Agreement of approximate even date herewith between Debtor and Secured Party, as amended, modified, extended, or renewed from time to time (“Security Agreement”).

 

WHEREAS, Debtor and Secured Party, as lender, desire to enter into a security agreement in addition to the Security Agreement that pertains specifically to intellectual property and for recordation purposes at the PTO (as defined below);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.           Definitions.  All capitalized terms used herein without definitions shall have the respective meanings provided therefor in the Security Agreement.  All terms defined in the Utah Uniform Commercial Code, Utah Code Annotated Sections 70A-9a-101 et seq., and used herein shall have the same definitions herein as specified therein.  However, if a term is defined in Article 9a of the Utah Uniform Commercial Code differently than in another Article of the Utah Uniform Commercial Code, the term has the meaning specified in Article 9a.  In addition to the foregoing, the following terms as used herein (including, without limitation, in the Recitals to this Agreement) are defined as follows:

 

1.1           “Intellectual Property” means any and all intellectual property, including any and all rights thereto, owned by, or to the extent permissible licensed to, Debtor, including but not limited to, inventions, methods, know-how, designs, patent applications, patents, marks (whether registered or common law) including all goodwill, copyrights (whether registered or unregistered) and trade secrets, all the foregoing throughout the world.

 

1.2           “PTO” means the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

 

2.           Grant of Security Interest.  Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a security interest in and so pledges and assigns to Secured Party all of its Intellectual Property.

 

3.           Supplement to Security Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement are supplemental to the provisions of the Security Agreement, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall derogate from any of the rights or remedies of Secured Party under the Security Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and remedies of Secured Party with respect to the security interests granted herein are without prejudice to, and are in addition to those set forth in the Security Agreement.

 

4.           Representations and Warranties.  Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party that a true and correct list of all of the existing Intellectual Property is set forth in Schedule A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the non-inclusion of any intellectual property asset in Schedule A shall not in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Secured Party’s continuing security interest in all of the existing Intellectual Property.

 

5.           Further Acts.  On a continuing basis, Debtor shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places, all such instruments and documents, and take all such action as may be necessary or advisable or may be requested by Secured Party to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring, confirming or protecting the grant or perfection of the security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, to ensure Debtor’s compliance with this Agreement or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Intellectual Property, including any documents for filing with the PTO or any applicable state office. Secured Party may record this Agreement, an abstract thereof, or any other document describing Secured Party’s interest in the Intellectual Property with the PTO, at the expense of Debtor.

 

6.           Authorization to Supplement.  If Debtor shall obtain rights to any new Intellectual Property, the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto. Debtor shall give prompt notice in writing to Secured Party with respect to any such new Intellectual Property. Without limiting Debtor’s obligations under this Section, Debtor authorizes Secured Party unilaterally to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule A to include any such new Intellectual Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this Agreement or amend Schedule A shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Secured Party’s continuing security interest in all Intellectual Property, whether or not listed on Schedule A.

  

  

  

 

7.           CHOICE OF LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF UTAH WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE TRIED AND LITIGATED IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SALT LAKE, STATE OF UTAH OR, IN ANY OTHER COURT IN WHICH A PARTY SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY.

8.           Miscellaneous.  The headings of each section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof.  This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon Debtor and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors and assigns.  If any term of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been included herein.  Debtor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be made in the manner required or permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code and otherwise in accordance with the terms and at the addresses set forth in the Loan Agreement.
