ARTICLE III

AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR

 

From and after the date of this Security Agreement, and until all of the Obligations are paid in full, Debtor shall:

 

3.1           Sale of Collateral.  Not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of Collateral or any interest therein, except as provided for in the Purchase Agreement and the June Purchase Agreement and for sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business.

 

3.2           Maintenance of Security Interest.  

 

(a)           At the expense of Debtor, defend the Security Interest against any and all claims of any Person adverse to Vicis and take such action and execute such financing statements and other documents as Vicis may from time to time request to maintain the perfected status of the Security Interest.  Debtor shall not further encumber or grant a security interest in any of the Collateral except as provided for in the Purchase Agreement and the June Purchase Agreement.

 

(b)           Take any other action requested by Vicis to ensure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Vicis to enforce its security interest in any and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC, to the extent, if any, that Debtor’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Vicis to enforce, its security interest in such Collateral, (iii) taking all actions required by any earlier versions of the UCC (to the extent applicable) or by other law, as applicable in any relevant UCC jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction, and (iv) obtaining waivers from landlords where any of the tangible Collateral is located in form and substance satisfactory to Vicis.

 

3.3           Locations.  Give Vicis at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of Debtor’s intention to relocate the tangible Collateral (other than Inventory in transit) or any of the records relating to the Collateral from the locations listed on Schedule 1 attached to this Security Agreement, in which event Schedule 1 shall be deemed amended to include the new location.  Any additional filings or refilings requested by Vicis as a result of any such relocation in order to maintain the Security Interest in the Collateral shall be at Debtor’s expense.

3.4           Insurance.

Such insurance shall be for amounts not less than the actual replacement cost of the Collateral.  No policy of insurance shall be so written that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by the preceding sentence, by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise, without the prior consent thereto in writing by Vicis.

3.5           Name; Legal Status.  (a) Without providing at least 30 days prior written notice to Vicis, Debtor will not change its name, its place of business or, if more than one, chief executive office, or its mailing address or organizational identification number if it has one, (b) if Debtor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, Debtor shall forthwith notify Vicis of such organizational identification number, and (c) Debtor will not change its type of organization or jurisdiction of organization.

(b)           take physical possession of Inventory and other tangible Collateral and of Debtor’s records pertaining to all Collateral that are necessary to properly administer and control the Collateral or the handling and collection of Collateral, and sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in whole or in part, at public or private sale, on or off the premises of Debtor; and

 

(c)           collect any and all money due or to become due and enforce in Debtor’s name all rights with respect to the Collateral; and

(e)           receive and open mail addressed to Debtor; and

 

(f)           on behalf of Debtor, endorse checks, notes, drafts, money orders, instruments or other evidences of payment.

 

4.3           Power of Attorney.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor does hereby constitute and appoint Vicis as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney with full power of substitution for Debtor in Debtor’s name, place and stead for the purposes of performing any obligation of Debtor under this Security Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which Vicis may deem necessary or advisable to perform any obligation of Debtor under this Security Agreement, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall not terminate until the Obligations are paid in full.

 

4.4           Right to Collect Accounts.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and without limiting Debtor’s obligations under the Transaction Documents:  (a) Debtor authorizes Vicis to notify any and all debtors on the Accounts to make payment directly to Vicis (or to such place as Vicis may direct); (b) Debtor agrees, on written notice from Vicis, to deliver to Vicis promptly upon receipt thereof, in the form in which received (together with all necessary endorsements), all payments received by Debtor on account of any Account; (c) Vicis may, at its option, apply all such payments against the Obligations or remit all or part of such payments to Debtor; and (d) Vicis may take any actions in accordance with Section 4.7 of this Agreement.

The sole duty of Vicis with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Vicis deals with similar property for its own account.  Neither Vicis nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Debtor or otherwise.

If Vicis so requests in writing, Debtor will direct each of its debtors on the Accounts to make payments due under the relevant Account or chattel paper directly to a special lock box to be under the control of Vicis.  Debtor hereby authorizes and directs Vicis to deposit into a special collateral account to be established and maintained by Vicis all checks, drafts and cash payments received in said lock box.  All deposits in said collateral account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any Obligation until so applied.  At its option, Vicis may, at any time, apply finally collected funds on deposit in said collateral account to the payment of the Obligations, in the order of application selected in the sole discretion of Vicis, or permit Debtor to withdraw all or any part of the balance on deposit in said collateral account.  If a collateral account is so established, Debtor agrees that it will promptly deliver to Vicis, for deposit into said collateral account, all payments on Accounts and chattel paper received by it.  All such payments shall be delivered to Vicis in the form received (except for Debtor’s endorsement where necessary).  Until so deposited, all payments on Accounts and chattel paper received by Debtor shall be held in trust by Debtor for and as the property of Vicis and shall not be commingled with any funds or property of Debtor.

 

4.8           Application of Proceeds.  Vicis shall apply the proceeds resulting from any sale or disposition of the Collateral in the following order:

 

(a)           to the costs of any sale or other disposition;

 

(b)           to the expenses incurred by Vicis in connection with any sale or other disposition, including attorneys’ fees;

 

(c)           to the payment of the Obligations then due and owing in any order selected by Vicis; and

 

(d)           to Debtor.

 

4.9           Other Remedies.  No remedy herein conferred upon Vicis is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Security Agreement and the Transaction Documents now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.  No failure or delay on the part of Vicis in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
