Subordinate Lenders and Agent will not ask, demand, sue for, take or receive from or on behalf of Obligors, by set off or in any other manner, whether under the Subordinated Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, and Obligors shall not pay nor grant, the whole or any part of any principal, interest, indebtedness, obligations, liabilities or payments, now or hereafter owing by Obligors to Subordinate Lenders or Agent under the Subordinated Loan Documents until the date (the “Termination Date”) on which all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Obligors to Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents (including with respect to the $1,000,000 revolving credit facility that Senior Lender and Obligors contemplate will be established in favor of Obligors), whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, including, without limitation, interest, fees and costs or other amounts arising after any bankruptcy or similar proceeding by or against any Obligor whether or not they are allowable in whole or in part in any such proceeding or other action relating to any such proceeding (the “Senior Obligations”) shall have been paid in full in cash and all commitments of Senior Lender to extend credit to any Obligor shall have expired or been terminated.

 

2. Subordinate Lenders and Agent (1) acknowledge and agree that the Subordinate Liens on the Collateral shall under all circumstances be junior in priority and subordinated to the  Senior Liens on the Collateral and that Agent and Subordinate Lenders shall not have any claims to or in respect of the Collateral, or any proceeds of or realization on the Collateral, on parity with or prior to the claims of Senior Lender, (2) acknowledge and agree that until the Termination Date, the exercise of rights and remedies in respect of the Subordinate Liens by Agent under the Subordinated Loan Documents and applicable law shall be limited to the extent set forth in, and shall be governed by this Agreement and (3) acknowledge and affirm that Senior Lender would not have executed the Senior Credit Agreement in the absence of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding (a) the order or time of loans, advances or other extensions of credit made by Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender to Obligors, (b) the order or time of attachment of any security interest, (c) the order, time or manner of perfection of any security interest, or the order or time of the filing or recordation of any document or instrument, or the possession of any Collateral, or other method of perfecting of the Senior Liens and the Subordinate Liens, including any failure of Senior Lender to file or record any financing statement or any continuations thereof under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of any applicable jurisdiction with respect to the Senior Liens, (d) the rules for determining priority under any law governing the relative priorities of secured creditors or (e) any conflicting terms or conditions which may be contained in any of the Senior Loan Documents, the Subordinated Loan Documents or any other documents, filings or agreements (other than this Agreement), the Senior Liens shall at all times and in all respects be prior in right, senior to and have priority over the Subordinate Liens.

 

3. In the event that, prior to the Termination Date, there is any payment, transfer, distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of any Obligor or the proceeds thereof, to or among creditors of such Obligor, or on account of any indebtedness, liabilities or debt-related obligations of such Obligor, by reason of the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such Obligor or such Obligor’s business, or any sale, receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding by or against such Obligor for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions or extensions, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of such Obligor to any Subordinate Lender or Agent under the Subordinated Loan Documents shall instead be paid or delivered directly to Senior Lender for application to the Senior Obligations until the Termination Date.

4. Should any monies or other assets of any Obligor or the proceeds thereof be received by any Subordinate Lender or Agent in contravention of any provisions hereof or the rights of Senior Lender as set forth herein, such Subordinate Lender or Agent, as applicable, will forthwith deliver the same to Senior Lender in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment by Subordinate Lender or Agent, as applicable, where necessary as appropriate).  Until so delivered, any such monies or other assets of such Obligor or the proceeds thereof shall be held in trust by such Subordinate Lender or Agent, as applicable, for, and as property of Senior Lender.

Additionally, and without limiting the generality of any other provision herein, until the Termination Date, Subordinate Lenders and Agent shall not take any Enforcement Action with respect to any of the Collateral.  Subordinate Lenders and Agent acknowledge and agree that Senior Lender shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce the terms of the Senior Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral, to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents or otherwise in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of the Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale, sell, lease, dispose of, or liquidate the Collateral and to otherwise exercise its rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents and/or under applicable law.  For purposes hereof, “Enforcement Action” shall mean the direct or indirect exercise of any of the rights or remedies of Subordinated Lenders (or any of them) and/or Agent against the Collateral, whether under the Subordinated Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, and whether or not a judicial action is commenced, including, without limitation, seeking to foreclose or realize upon (judicially or non-judicially) the Subordinate Liens on any of the Collateral, and also including, without limitation, any action to seek relief from the automatic stay pursuant to Section 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

To the extent the Collateral consists of accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and, to the knowledge of Borrowers, fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations concerning form, content and manner of preparation and execution, and, to the knowledge of Borrowers, all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear to be on the Collateral.  At the time any account becomes subject to a security interest in favor of Lender, the account shall be at the time it arises a good and valid account representing an undisputed, bona fide indebtedness incurred by the account debtor, for merchandise held subject to delivery instructions or previously shipped or delivered pursuant to a contract of sale, or for services previously performed by a Borrower with or for the account debtor.   So long as this Agreement remains in effect, Borrowers shall not, without Lender's prior written consent, compromise, settle, adjust, or extend payment under or with regard to any such Accounts, except to the extent commercially reasonable.

Location of the Collateral.  Except in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business, Borrowers agree to keep the Collateral (or to the extent the Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts or general intangibles, the records concerning the Collateral) at Borrowers' address shown above or at such other locations as are reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Upon Lender’s request, Borrowers will deliver to Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties and Collateral locations relating to Borrowers' operations, including without limitation the following: (1) all real property Borrowers own or are purchasing; (2) all real property Borrowers are renting or leasing; (3) all storage facilities Borrowers own, rent, lease, or use; and (4) all other properties where Collateral is or may be located.

 

Removal of the Collateral.  Except in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business, including the sales of inventory, Borrowers shall not remove the Collateral from its existing location without Lender’s prior written consent.  To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles, or other titled property, Borrowers shall not take or permit any action which would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles outside the State of Washington, without Lender’s prior written consent.  Borrowers shall, whenever requested, advise Lender of the exact location of the Collateral.

 

Transactions Involving Collateral.  Except in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business, or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Borrowers shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral.  Borrowers shall not pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the security interest provided for in this Agreement and Permitted Liens, without the prior written consent of Lender.  This includes security interests even if junior in right to the security interests granted under this Agreement other than Permitted Lien.  Unless waived by Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender (and the holder of any Permitted Lien) and shall not be commingled with any other funds; provided however, this requirement shall not constitute consent by Lender to any sale or other disposition.  Upon receipt, Borrowers shall immediately deliver any such proceeds to Lender to the extent not required to be delivered to the holder of a Permitted Lien with priority over Lender's security interest therein.

 

Title.  Borrowers represent and warrant to Lender that Borrowers hold good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement and Permitted Liens.  No financing statement covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office other than those which reflect the security interest created by this Agreement, Permitted Liens or to which Lender has specifically consented.  Borrowers shall defend Lender’s rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons.

 

Repairs and Maintenance.  Borrowers agree to keep and maintain, and to cause others to keep and maintain, the Collateral in good order, repair and condition at all times while this Agreement remains in effect, ordinary wear, tear and obsolescence excepted.  Borrowers further agree to pay when due all claims for work done on, or services rendered or material furnished in connection with the Collateral so that no lien or encumbrance may ever attach to or be filed against the Collateral.

Taxes, Assessments and Liens.  Borrowers will pay when due all taxes, assessments and liens (other than Permitted Liens) upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness, or upon any of the other Related Documents.  Each Borrower may withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if such Borrower is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender’s interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in Lender’s reasonable opinion.  In any contest Borrowers shall defend themselves and Lender and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment before enforcement against the Collateral.  Borrowers shall name Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings.  Borrowers further agree to furnish Lender with evidence that such taxes, assessments, and governmental and other charges have been paid in full and in a timely manner.  Borrowers may withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if the applicable Borrower is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender’s interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized.

 

Hazardous Substances.  Except as disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, Borrowers represent and warrant that:  (1)  During the period of Borrowers' ownership of the Collateral, there has been no use, generation, manufacture, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance by any person on, under, about or from any of the Collateral other than in compliance with applicable law.  (2)  Borrowers have no knowledge of, or reason to believe that there has been  (a)  any breach or violation of any Environmental Laws;  (b)  any use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from the Collateral by any prior owners or occupants of any of the Collateral other than in compliance with applicable law; or  (c)  any actual or litigation threatened in writing or claims of any kind by any person relating to such matters.  (3)  Neither Borrower nor any tenant, contractor, agent or other authorized user of any of the Collateral shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, dispose of or release any Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from any of the Collateral other than in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances, including without limitation all Environmental Laws.  Borrowers authorize Lender and its agents to enter upon the Collateral to make such inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the Collateral with this section of the Agreement.  Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be at Borrowers' expense and for Lender’s purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Borrowers or to any other person.  Borrowers hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Agreement or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release of a hazardous waste or substance on the Collateral.  The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the obligation to indemnify and defend, shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the termination, expiration or satisfaction of this Agreement and shall not be affected by Lender’s acquisition of any interest in any of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

Maintenance of Casualty Insurance.  Borrowers shall procure and maintain all risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may reasonably require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Borrowers, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice.  In connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Borrowers will provide Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may reasonably require.  If Borrowers at any time fail to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if Lender so chooses "single interest insurance," which will cover only Lender’s interest in the Collateral.

 

Application of Insurance Proceeds.  Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Collateral if the estimated cost of repair or replacement exceeds $25,000.00, whether or not such casualty or loss is covered by insurance.  Lender may make proof of loss if Borrowers fail to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty.  All proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral (other than proceeds with respect to Collateral subject to a Permitted Lien with seniority over Lender’s security interest), including accrued proceeds thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral.  If Lender consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure,  pay or reimburse the applicable Borrower from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration.  If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to the applicable Borrower.  Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and which the applicable Borrower has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.

 

Insurance Reserves.  If Borrowers fail to pay their insurance premiums, Lender may require Borrowers to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created by monthly payments from Borrowers of a sum estimated by Lender to be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid.  If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are insufficient, Borrowers shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender.  The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Borrowers as they become due.  Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Borrowers, and Lender is not the agent of Borrowers for payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Borrowers.  The responsibility for the payment of premiums shall remain Borrowers' sole responsibility.

 

Financing Statements, Etc.  Borrowers authorize Lender to file UCC financing statements, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.  At Lender’s reasonable request, Borrowers additionally agrees to sign all other documents that are necessary to perfect, protect, and continue Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.  Borrowers will pay all filing fees, title transfer fees, and other fees and costs involved unless prohibited by law or unless Lender is required by law to pay such fees and costs.  Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender to execute documents necessary to, subject to applicable law, transfer title if there is a default.  Lender may file a copy of this Agreement as a financing statement.  If any Borrower changes its Borrower's name or address, or the name or address of any person granting a security interest under this Agreement changes, Borrower will promptly notify the Lender of such change.  Borrowers further will notify Lender prior to any change in the location of any Borrower’s state of organization.

BORROWERS' RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS.  Until an Event of Default exists and except as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Borrower may have possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Borrower's right to possession and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender’s security interest in such Collateral.  Until otherwise notified by Lender during the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower may collect any of the Collateral consisting of accounts.  If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for that purpose as Borrowers shall request or as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request by Borrowers shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care.  Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness.

 

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES.  If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if Borrowers fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Borrowers' failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Borrowers are required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrowers' behalf, may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender reasonably deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral.  All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Notes from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrowers.  All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will  (A)  be payable on demand;  or (B)  be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the maturity of the Notes.  The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts.  Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon an Event of Default.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.  Borrowers covenant and agree with Lender that, so long as this Agreement remains in effect each Borrower will:

 

Notices of Claims and Litigation.  Promptly inform Lender in writing of  (1)  changes in such Borrower which reasonably could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and  (2)  all existing and all litigation threatened in writing, claims, investigations, administrative proceedings or similar actions affecting any Borrower or any Guarantor which reasonably could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Financial Records.

9

  

 

Taxes, Charges and Liens.  Pay and discharge when due all assessments, taxes, governmental charges, levies and liens, of every kind and nature, imposed upon Borrower or its properties, income, or profits, prior to the date on which penalties would attach, provided however, Borrower will not be required to pay and discharge any such assessment, tax, charge, levy, lien or claim so long as  (1)  the legality of the same shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and  (2)  Borrower shall have established on Borrower's books adequate reserves with respect to such contested assessment, tax, charge, levy, lien, or claim in accordance with GAAP.

 

Compliance with Governmental Requirements.  Comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities applicable to the conduct of Borrower's properties, businesses and operations, and to the use or occupancy of the Collateral, including without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, except to the extent the non-compliance reasonably could not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as the applicable Borrower has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender’s reasonable opinion, Lender’s interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized in any material respect.  Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender’s interest in respect of the foregoing.

 

Inspection.  Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to inspect any and all Collateral and Borrower's other properties and to examine or audit Borrower's books, accounts, and records and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower's books, accounts, and records.  If Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any material records (including without limitation computer generated records and computer software programs for the generation of such records) in the possession of a third party, Borrower, upon request of Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free access to such records at all reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of any records it may request, all at Borrower's expense.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS.  Borrowers covenant and agree with Lender that while this Agreement is in effect, Borrowers shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender:

 

Liens.  (1) Except for trade debt incurred in the normal course of business, indebtedness to East West Bank, indebtedness to Lenders and Agent, indebtedness subordinated to the Indebtedness, purchase money indebtedness and indebtedness in respect of capital leases, create, incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money, (2) sell, transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of Borrower’s assets (except in connection with or with regard to Permitted Liens), or (2) sell with recourse any of Borrower’s accounts, except to Lender.

 

Continuity of Operations.  (1)  Engage in any business activities substantially different than those in which Borrowers are presently engaged,  (2)  cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or consolidate with any other entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or  (3)  pay any dividends on Parent's stock (other than dividends payable in its stock), provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payment of dividends, if Parent is a "Subchapter S Corporation" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax payments to satisfy their liabilities under federal and state law which arise solely from their status as shareholders of a Subchapter S Corporation because of their ownership of shares of Parent's stock, or purchase or retire any of Parent's outstanding shares or alter or amend any Borrower's capital structure.

 

Agreements.  Enter into any agreement containing any provisions except to the extent such violation or breach reasonably could not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, which would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower's obligations under this Agreement in connection herewith.

 

DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

 

Payment Default.  Borrowers fail to make any payment when due under the Note or there is a default under the Note or Borrowers fail to pay within five (5) days of when due any other monetary obligations in respect of the Notes.

 

Certain Covenant Defaults.  Borrowers fail to comply with any Negative Covenant.

 

Other Defaults.  Borrowers fail to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or the East/West Note or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrowers and such non-compliance or non-performance continues for twelve (12) days.

 

False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender in writing by Borrowers or on Borrowers' behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished (except to the extent they relate to an earlier date).

 

Insolvency.  The dissolution or termination of any Borrower's existence as a going business, the appointment of a receiver for any part of any Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against any Borrower, which in the case of a proceeding commenced against any Borrower, the same is not dismissed within sixty (60) days.

 

  

11

  

 

Defective Collateralization.  This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien in any Collateral that is subject to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and is capable of being perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the Delaware Secretary of State or California Secretary of State or any other central state governmental filing authority, as applicable) at any time and for any reason.

 

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of any Borrower or by any governmental agency against any material portion of Collateral securing the Loan.  This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's deposit accounts, including deposit accounts with Lender.  However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by the applicable Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if such Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

 

Change in Ownership.  Any Change of Control occurs.

 

Adverse Change.  A Material Adverse Effect occurs.

 

Right to Cure.  If any Event of Default, other than an Event of Default on Indebtedness, is curable and if Borrowers have not been given a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrowers (even if demand has been made), after Lender sends written notice to Borrowers demanding cure of such default (or even if no such demand has been sent):  (1)  cure the Event of Default within fifteen (15) days; or  (2)  if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender deems in Lender’s reasonable discretion to be sufficient to cure the Event of Default and thereafter continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

 

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, at Lender’s option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional.  In addition and without limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

 

Accelerate Indebtedness.  Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Borrowers.

 

Assemble Collateral.  Lender may require Borrowers to deliver to Lender all or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other documents relating to the Collateral.  Lender may require Borrowers to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender.  Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the property of Borrowers to take possession of and remove the Collateral.  If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time of repossession, Borrowers agree Lender may take such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Borrower after repossession.

 

  

12

  

 

Sell the Collateral.  Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in Lender’s own name or that of Borrowers.  Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private sale.  Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Borrowers, and other persons as required by law, reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale, or the time after which any private sale or any other disposition of the Collateral is to be made.  However, no notice need be provided to any person who, after Event of Default occurs, enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification of sale.  The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition.  All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the rate set forth in the Notes from date of expenditure until repaid.

 

Appoint Receiver.  Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Collateral preceding or pending foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Collateral and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Indebtedness.  The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law.  Lender’s right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount.  Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.

 

Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts.  Lender, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the Collateral.  Lender may at any time in Lender’s discretion transfer any Collateral into Lender’s own name or that of Lender’s nominee and receive the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may determine.  Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, chooses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due.  For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Borrowers, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Borrowers; change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of any Collateral.  To facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.

 

Obtain Deficiency.  If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Borrowers for any deficiency remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement.

A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement.  No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Borrowers, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of Borrowers' obligations as to any future transactions.  Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

Subject to applicable law, and except for notice required or allowed by law to be given in another manner, any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement.

For notice purposes, Borrowers agree to keep Lender informed at all times of Borrowers' current address.

Severability.  If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance.  If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable.  If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement.  Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
