(b)           Other Perfection, etc.  Debtor shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as Secured Party may reasonably request for Secured Party (i) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Secured Party, (ii) to obtain “control” of any investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, and (iii) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of Secured Party’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein.  Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file financing statements describing any statutory liens held by Secured Party.

 

4.             WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.  In addition to the warranties and representations, if any, made in the Lease, Debtor warrants, represents and agrees that:

5

 

Schedule 1, nor will Debtor change or reorganize the type of business entity under which it presently does business, except upon prior and express written approval of Secured Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and, if such approval is granted, Debtor agrees that all documents, instruments and agreements reasonably requested by Secured Party and relating to such change shall be prepared, filed and recorded at Debtor’s expense before the change occurs;

 

(f)                                    Debtor shall not remove any records concerning the Collateral located at the Facilities nor keep any of its records concerning the same at any other location other than the principal business office of Debtor in the State of Ohio unless written notice thereof is given to Secured Party at least ten (10) days prior to the removal of such records to any new addresses; and

 

(g)                                 Debtor has the right and power and is duly authorized to enter into this Security Agreement.  The execution of this Security Agreement does not and will not constitute a breach of any provision contained in any agreement or instrument to which Debtor is or may become a party or by which Debtor is or may be bound or affected.

 

(h)                                 Debtor shall not change its location (as that term is defined in Section 9.307 of the Commercial Code) without the prior written consent of Secured Party, such consent no to be unreasonably withheld.

5.             COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS.

 

(a)           Secured Party conditionally authorizes Debtor to collect accounts from Debtor’s account debtors provided, however, after an Event of Default and while it continues, this privilege may be terminated by Secured Party at any time upon written notice from Secured Party and, upon mailing such notice, Secured Party shall have all of Debtor’s rights, title, and interest in the accounts, including a right of stoppage in transit.  After notice as aforesaid or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as subsequently defined), and subject to the terms of any written intercreditor agreement entered into by Secured Party with any other creditor of Debtor, Secured Party may notify any account debtor(s) of Secured Party’s security interest in Debtor’s accounts and shall be entitled to collect same, and Debtor will thereafter receive all accounts payments as the agent of and as trustee for Secured Party and will deliver to Secured Party on the day of receipt, all checks, cash, drafts, acceptances, notes and other accounts payments and, until such delivery, Debtor shall not use or commingle any accounts payments and shall at all times keep all such remittances separate and apart from Debtor’s own funds, capable of identification as the Secured Party’s property.  After any Event of Default and while it continues, Debtor shall open all mail only in the presence of a Secured Party representative, who may remove therefrom any accounts remittance(s).  Subject to the terms of any written intercreditor agreement entered into by Secured Party with any other creditor of Debtor, Secured Party and its representatives are hereby authorized to endorse in Debtor’s name, any item received by the Secured Party representing any payment on or proceeds of any of the Collateral, and may sign Debtor’s name upon all accounts, invoices, assignments, financing statements, notices to debtors, bills of lading, storage receipts, or other instruments or documents in respect to the account debtors, the proceeds therefrom, or property related thereto.  Debtor shall promptly give Secured Party copies of all accounts statements, accompanied by such additional information, documents, or copies thereof, as Secured Party may request.  Debtor shall maintain all records with respect to the accounts and with respect to the general conduct and operation of Debtor’s business, including balance sheets, operating statements and other financial information, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and as Secured Party may request.

 

(b)           Until such time as Secured Party shall notify Debtor of the revocation of such power and authority by reason of an Event of Default (and effective only during the continuance thereof), Debtor (i) may, only in the ordinary course of business, at its own expense, sell, lease or furnish under contracts of service any of the inventory normally held by Debtor for such purpose; (ii) may use and consume any raw materials, work in process or materials, the use and consumption of which is necessary in order to carry on Debtor’s business; (iii) replace or dispose of equipment in accordance with the provisions of the Lease; and (iv) shall, at its own expense, endeavor to collect, as and when due, all amounts due with respect to any of the Collateral, including the taking of such action with respect to such collection as Secured Party may request or, in the absence of such request, as Debtor may deem advisable.  A sale, lease, furnishing of

 

7

 

services or other transfer of the Collateral as a partial or total satisfaction of any debt of Debtor shall not constitute a sale in the ordinary course of business.

 

6.             INSPECTIONS/INFORMATION.  Debtor shall permit Secured Party or its agents upon reasonable written request and during business hours to have access to and to inspect any of the Collateral.  Secured Party may from time to time upon reasonable written request and during business hours inspect, check, make copies of, or extracts from the books, records and files of Debtor relating to the Collateral, and Debtor shall make the same available to Secured Party at any reasonable time for such purposes.  Secured Party is hereby authorized to conduct from time to time such investigation of Debtor’s continuing creditworthiness as Secured Party deems appropriate including, without limitation, contact with Debtor’s accountants or other third parties, and Secured Party is also authorized to respond to any credit inquiries received from trade creditors or other credit granting institutions.  Debtor agrees to promptly supply Secured Party with such financial and other information concerning its financial and business affairs, assets and liabilities as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request, and Debtor agrees that Secured Party or its agents may from time to time verify Debtor’s continuing compliance with any of Debtor’s warranties and covenants made in Paragraph 4 above, at Debtor’s cost and expense.

 

7.             DEFAULT/REMEDIES.

 

(a)           The occurrence of any of the following  shall constitute an Event of Default under this Security Agreement:

 

(i)            An Event of Default as defined in the Lease;

 

(ii)           Debtor fails to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Security Agreement and the failure is not cured by Debtor within a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Secured Party; or

 

(iii)          Any representation or warranty of the Debtor contained in this Agreement proves to be untrue in any material respect.

 

(b)           Whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as its continues, Secured Party may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies, including the right to immediate possession of the Collateral, available to it under the Lease, this Security Agreement or applicable law.  Secured Party shall have the right to hold any property then in or upon the Facilities (but excluding any property belonging to patients at the Facilities) at the time of repossession not covered by this Security Agreement until return is demanded in writing by Debtor.  Debtor agrees, in case of the occurrence of an Event of Default and upon the request of Secured Party, to assemble, at its expense, all of the Collateral at a convenient place acceptable to Secured Party and to pay all costs of Secured Party of collection of all the Liabilities, and enforcement of rights hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, including participation in bankruptcy proceedings, and the expenses of locating the Collateral and the expenses of any repairs to any realty or other property to which any of the Collateral may be affixed or be a part.  If the Collateral is disposed of at a public sale, the parties agree that (i) a public sale with at least ten (10) calendar days prior notice to Debtor and notice to the public by

 

8

 

one publication in a local newspaper is commercially reasonable, and (ii) a disclaimer of warranties at a public or private sale is commercially reasonable.  If any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral is required by law, such notification, if mailed, shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent at least ten (10) days before such disposition, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Debtor either at the address set forth in the notice section hereof, or at any other address of the Debtor appearing on the records of Secured Party.

 

(c)           TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DEBTOR AGREES THAT SECURED PARTY SHALL, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT, HAVE THE RIGHT TO PEACEFULLY RETAKE ANY OF THE COLLATERAL.  DEBTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, IN SUCH INSTANCE, TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO SUCH RETAKING.

 

(d)           The obligations of Debtor under this Security Agreement, the Lease and other Transaction Documents are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized such that upon an Event of Default under the Lease, this Security Agreement and/or any such other Transaction Documents, the Secured Party has the right to declare such Event of Default to be an Event of Default without the benefit of any notice or grace periods contained under any or all of this Security Agreement, the Lease and the other Transaction Documents and without limitation to resort to any or all of the Collateral and the other collateral securing such obligations in pursuit of its remedies thereunder.

 

(e)           Debtor acknowledges and agrees that in the event that any of the Collateral is sold by the Secured Party for credit, then credit shall be made against the Liabilities only as, if and when cash payments are actually received by the Secured Party for such Collateral.

 

8.             INDEMNITY.  In addition to the indemnities set forth in the Lease, Debtor shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party and its officers, employees, directors and agents from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, and out-of-pocket costs and expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Secured Party or its officers, employees, directors or agents, by reason of the ownership, use, construction and operation of the Collateral by Debtor, its officers, directors, servants, agents and employees or by reason of enforcement of Secured Party’s rights hereunder or under the Lease.  As used in this Security Agreement, the term “attorneys’ fees” includes fees incurred in any appeal and/or enforcement proceedings.  In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Secured Party by reason of the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights hereunder or under the Lease, Debtor, upon request of Secured Party, shall at Debtor’s expense cause such action, suit or proceeding to be resisted and defended by counsel approved by Secured Party with respect to proceedings and matters involving Secured Party.  Any amounts payable to Secured Party under this Section 8 which are not paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefore shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate as specified in the Lease from the date of such demand, and such amounts, together with such interest, shall be indebtedness secured by this Security Agreement.  The obligations of Debtor under this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of the Lease.

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

(Hearth & Home of Ohio, Inc.)

 

This Pledge Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of October 29, 2010, between HEARTH & HOME OF OHIO, INC., an Ohio corporation (“Pledgor”), and  GEORGIA LESSOR — BONTERRA/PARKVIEW, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Creditor”).

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS

 

A.                                   Pledgor is the owner of 100%  of the outstanding equity interests in ADK BONTERRA/PARKVIEW, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Company”).

 

B.                                     The Company has executed and delivered to Creditor a Third Amended and Restated Master Lease dated as of the date of this Agreement (as amended, the “Master Lease”), pursuant to which the Company is leasing from Creditor certain healthcare facilities identified therein (the “Facilities”).

 

C.                                     Pledgor is the sole member of the Company, and it is to the advantage of Pledgor that Creditor enter into the Master Lease with the Company.

 

D.                                    The Master Lease provides that due performance and observance of the Company’s and its Affiliates’ obligations under the Master Lease and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Master Lease) will be secured by a lien on the Pledged Collateral (as that term is defined below) granted pursuant to this Agreement.

 

The parties therefore agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Pledge; Grant of Security Interest.  Pledgor hereby grants to Creditor a security interest, on the following terms and subject to the following conditions, in:

 

(a)                                  all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the membership or other ownership interests in the Company (the “Pledged Securities”);

 

(b)                                 any equity securities issued by the Company and any options, warrants or rights to acquire such securities, owned or acquired by Pledgor, directly or indirectly, now or at any time in the future;

 

(c)                                  any securities or other property issued or distributed to Pledgor with respect to any securities described in clauses (a) or (b) above as a dividend or distribution or as a result of any amendment of the certificate of incorporation or other charter documents, merger, consolidation, redesignation, reclassification, purchase or sale of assets, dissolution, or plan of arrangement, compromise or reorganization of the issuer thereof;

 

(d)                                 any rights incidental to the ownership of any of the securities described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, such as voting, conversion and registration rights and rights of recovery for violations of applicable securities laws; and

 

 

(e)                                  the proceeds of the exercise, redemption, sale or exchange of any of the foregoing, or any dividend, interest payment or other distribution of cash or property in respect thereof.

 

All of the foregoing may be referred to herein as the “Pledged Collateral”.

 

2.                                       Secured Obligations.  The security interest described in Section 1 of this Agreement secures the prompt and full payment when due (and not merely the ultimate collectibility) of all amounts now or hereafter due and owing by the Company to Creditor pursuant to the Master Lease, or any extension or renewal thereof, and prompt and full performance of all obligations of the Company and its Affiliates under the Transaction Documents (the “Secured Obligations”).

 

3.                                       Delivery.  (a)    Before, or at the same time as the Pledgor has executed and delivered this Agreement to Creditor, Pledgor has delivered to Creditor a fully executed Assignment in Blank (substantially in the form of  Exhibit A hereto) and with all necessary transfer tax stamps affixed.

 

(b)                                 If, at any time, Pledgor obtains possession of any certificate or instrument constituting or representing any of the Pledged Collateral (other than interest and cash dividends), Pledgor shall deliver such certificate or instrument to Creditor forthwith duly endorsed in blank without restriction or with a fully executed Assignment in Blank (substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto) and with all necessary transfer tax stamps affixed.

 

(c)                                  If no Event of Default (as defined in Section 10 below) has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may retain for its own use and shall not be required to deliver to Creditor any interest payments on or any cash dividends or other cash distributions received by or otherwise distributed in respect of the Pledge Collateral; if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then all such interest, dividends and cash distributions received by or otherwise distributed in respect of the Pledge Collateral shall be delivered to the Creditor for application by Creditor toward payment of the Secured Obligations as Creditor may determine.

 

(d)                                 If any of the Pledged Collateral is uncertificated securities, Pledgor shall either (a) procure the issuance of security certificates to represent such Pledged Collateral and endorse and deliver such certificates as required by paragraph (b) of this Section 3, or (b) cause the issuer thereof to register Creditor as the registered owner of such securities, or (c) cause the issuer thereof to enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Creditor, among Creditor, the registered owner of such security, and the issuer to the effect that the issuer will comply with instructions originated by Creditor without further consent by the registered owner.

 

(e)                                  Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes Creditor, at any time and from time to time, to take any and all actions Creditor may reasonably determine to be necessary to assure that the security interests granted hereby are and remain perfected, including without limitation, filing financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto.  Pledgor shall deliver to Creditor such financing statements, continuation statements or other instruments as are

 

2

 

reasonably deemed necessary by Creditor to enable it to perfect, and to maintain the perfection of, its security interest in the Pledged Collateral under applicable law.  The form of description of the Pledged Collateral to be attached to financing statements is attached hereto as Schedule 1.

 

4.                                       Voting Rights.  If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledged Collateral will be registered in the name of Pledgor, and Pledgor may exercise any voting or consensual rights that Pledgor may have as the owner of the Pledged Collateral for any purpose which is not inconsistent with this Agreement.  Creditor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Pledgor all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend orders, and other instruments as Pledgor may request for the purpose of enabling Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Creditor may exercise all voting or consensual rights of the owners of any of the Pledged Collateral and Pledgor shall deliver to Creditor all notices, proxy statements, proxies and other information and instruments relating to the exercise of such rights received by Pledgor from the issuers of any of the Pledged Collateral promptly upon receipt thereof and shall at the request of Creditor execute and deliver to Creditor any proxies or other instruments which are, in the judgment of Creditor, necessary for Creditor to validly exercise such voting and consensual rights.

 

5.                                       Duty of Creditor.  The duty of the Creditor with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall be solely to use reasonable care in the physical custody thereof, and the Creditor shall not be under any obligation to take any action with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral or to preserve rights against prior parties.  The powers conferred on Creditor hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and do not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  Pledgor is not looking to the Creditor to provide it with investment advice. Creditor shall have no duty to ascertain or take any action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters concerning any Pledged Collateral, whether or not Creditor has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve any rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.

 

6.                                       Subsequent Changes Affecting Pledged Collateral.  Pledgor acknowledges that it has made its own arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the Pledged Collateral (including, but not limited to, conversions, subscriptions, exchanges, reorganizations, dividends, tender offers, mergers, consolidations and shareholder or other meetings) and Pledgor agrees that Creditor has no responsibility to inform Pledgor of such matters or to take any action with respect thereto even if any of the Pledged Collateral has been registered in the name of Creditor or its agent or nominee.

 

7.                                       Return of Pledged Collateral.  The security interest granted to Creditor hereunder shall not terminate and Creditor shall not be required to return the Pledged Collateral to Pledgor unless and until (a) the Secured Obligations have been fully paid or performed (provided, however, that the Company’s obligations under Section 7.3 of the Master Lease which expressly survive expiration or termination thereof shall, so long as there is no currently pending claim under such section, not be considered in determining whether the Company’s obligations have been satisfied or discharged), (b) all of Pledgor’s obligations hereunder have been fully paid or

 

3

 

performed, and (c) Pledgor has reimbursed Creditor for any expenses of returning the Pledged Collateral and filing such termination statements and other instruments as are required to be filed in public offices under applicable laws.

 

8.                                       Representations and Warranties.  Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Creditor as follows:

 

(a)                                  Enforceability.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Pledgor, constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation and is enforceable against Pledgor in accordance with its terms.  Pledgor has the legal capacity to enter into and perform all of its obligations and agreements under this Agreement.  No consent or approval for the entry into and performance by Pledgor of its obligations and agreements under this Agreement is necessary.

 

(b)                                 No Conflict.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the grant of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, (a) violate any material law applicable to Pledgor; (b) violate any judgment, writ, injunction or order of any court or governmental body or officer applicable to Pledgor; (c) violate or result in the breach of any material agreement to which Pledgor is a party or by which any of its properties, including the Pledged Collateral, is bound; (d) violate Pledgor’s articles of incorporation or organization, bylaws, partnership, shareholder or operating agreement; nor (e) violate any restriction on the transfer of any of the Pledged Collateral.  Pledgor has the full and unrestricted right to pledge, assign and create a security interest in the Pledged Collateral as described in and contemplated by this Agreement.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Pledgor will not affect or in any way impair the Pledged Collateral or Pledgor’s or Creditor’s rights or interests therein.

 

(c)                                  No Consents.  No consent, approval, license, permit or other authorization of any third party or any governmental body or officer is required for the valid and lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement, the valid and lawful creation and perfection of the Creditor’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral or the valid and lawful exercise by Creditor of remedies available to it under this Agreement or applicable law or of the voting and other rights granted to it in this Agreement except as may be required for the offer or sale of those items of Pledged Collateral which are securities under applicable securities laws.

 

(d)                                 Organization.  Pledgor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio.  The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia.  The Pledged Securities are all of the issued and outstanding securities issued by the Company.  The Pledged Securities have been duly authorized and validly issued by the Company and are fully paid and non-assessable.  The certificates which represent

 

4

 

the Pledged Securities are valid and genuine and have not been altered and Pledgor is the appropriate person to endorse them.  Except for this Agreement, neither Pledgor nor Company is bound by any certificate of incorporation or organization, bylaw, agreement or instrument (including options, warrants, and convertible securities) which relates to the voting of; restricts the transfer of; requires Pledgor or the Company to issue or sell; or creates rights in any person (other than the record owner) with respect to; any securities issued by the Company.

 

(e)                                  Security Interest.  Pledgor is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Securities free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for (i) transfer restrictions, if any, under applicable federal and state securities laws, and (ii) the security interest created by this Agreement. Pledgor has the unrestricted right to grant the security interest provided for herein to the Creditor.  Pledgor has duly endorsed and delivered to Creditor all of the certificates representing the Pledged Securities, if any, and has granted to Creditor a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Pledged Securities, free of all liens, encumbrances, transfer restrictions and adverse claims, except for transfer restrictions, if any, under applicable federal and state securities laws. The certificates, instruments and other writings delivered by Pledgor to Creditor pursuant to this Agreement are all of the certificates, instruments and other writings representing the Pledged Collateral and all rights and interests with respect thereto. The security interest granted hereby to Creditor does now and shall at all times during the term of this Agreement continue to constitute a first and prior lien on the Pledged Collateral, subject only to such matters as may be specifically agreed to in writing by Creditor.  This representation shall be deemed made with respect to each item of property that becomes Pledged Collateral after the date hereof.

 

(f)                                    Information.  None of the information, documents, or financial statements which has been furnished by Pledgor or its representatives to Creditor or any of its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated hereby or thereby to make such statements not misleading.

 

(g)                                 Pledgor’s (i) chief executive office is located in the state of Ohio, (ii) location (as that term is defined in Section 9.307 of the Uniform Commercial Code) is the State of Ohio (the “Debtor State”), (iii) exact legal name is as set forth in the first paragraph of this Pledge Agreement, and (iv) filing number with the Debtor State is 923018.

 

(h)                                 Address.  Pledgor’s principal place of business is correctly set forth under its signature at the end of this Agreement.

9.                                       Agreements.  So long as this Agreement is in effect, Pledgor shall:

 

(a)                                  Maintain the Pledged Collateral free from all pledges, liens, encumbrances and security interests or other claims in favor of others, other than the security interest in favor of Creditor and any transfer restrictions under applicable federal and state securities laws, and Pledgor will defend the Pledged Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons.

 

(b)                                 Comply with the requirements of all applicable state, local and federal laws necessary to grant to Creditor a valid lien upon, and a duly perfected security interest in, the Pledged Collateral in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Pay all reasonable costs and expenses of whatever kind and nature that Creditor may incur, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in protecting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing or foreclosing the Pledged Collateral or the security interest granted to Creditor hereunder, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to any of the Secured Obligations.

 

(d)                                 Appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising out of or connected with this Agreement, and pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Creditor (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) in any such action or proceeding in which Creditor appears or determines to become involved.

 

(e)                                  Not, without the prior written consent of Creditor, sell, assign, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein.

 

(f)                                    Provide Creditor, and Creditor’s agents and attorneys, reasonable access to the books and records of Pledgor at Pledgor’s office during normal business hours for inspection purposes and permit Creditor and Creditor’s agents and attorneys to make copies hereof.

 

(g)                                 Notify the Creditor at least thirty (30) days before Pledgor changes its name or the address of its principal place of business.

 

(h)                                 At Pledgor’s expense, do such further acts and execute and deliver such additional financing statements, continuations, conveyances, certificates, instruments, legal opinions and other assurances as Creditor may at any time request or require Pledgor to protect, assure or enforce its interests, rights and remedies under this agreement.

 

10.                                 Events of Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement:

 

6

 

(a)                                  If the Pledgor or the Company fails to pay or perform, as the case may be, any of the Secured Obligations when the same become due and payable or performable, as the case may be; or

 

(b)                                 If an Event of Default occurs under any of the Transaction Documents or any other promissory note, security agreement, guaranty or other agreement between Creditor and Pledgor or the Company; or

 

(c)                                  If any representation or warranty made by Pledgor in this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made; or

 

(d)                                 If Pledgor:

(ii)                                  generally does not pay its debts as such debts become due; or

 

(iii)                               conceals, removes, or permits to be concealed or removed, any part of its property, with intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors or any of them, or makes or suffers a transfer of any of its property which may be fraudulent under any bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, or makes any transfer of its property to or for the benefit of a creditor at a time when other creditors similarly situated have not been paid; or

(f)                                    The commencement of a proceeding by or against Pledgor under any statute or other law providing for an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the appointment of a receiver, or any other similar law or regulation, whether federal, state or local, not dismissed within 30 days.

 

(g)                                 The garnishment, attachment, levy or other similar action taken by or on behalf of any creditor of the Pledgor, or any of its properties which could have a Material Adverse Effect (as that term is defined in the Master Lease) on the Pledgor.

 

11.                                 Remedies.  (a)  Upon and at any time after an Event of Default under this Agreement, Creditor shall, at its option and without further notice to Pledgor (except for such further notices, if any, that may be required by law) be entitled to exercise any or all rights and remedies provided hereunder or by law, including without limitation the rights and remedies of a

 

7

 

secured party under the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code.  Any requirement under the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise of reasonable notice shall be met if Creditor sends Pledgor notice of sale and other notices required by law at least ten (10) days prior to the date of sale, disposition or other event giving rise to the required notice.  Any sale held pursuant to the exercise of Creditor’s rights hereunder may be public or private, and at such sale Creditor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to the extent permitted by law, to sell, assign and deliver all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at Creditor’s office or elsewhere, without demand of performance, advertisement of notice of intention to sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or any other notice (all of which are hereby waived by Pledgor to the extent permitted by law), except such notice as is required by applicable law and cannot be waived, for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, without any assumption or credit risk, and, provided that such is not in violation of applicable law, for such terms as Creditor in its absolute and uncontrolled discretion may determine.  In furtherance of Creditor’s rights hereunder, Creditor shall have the right, for and in the name, place and stead of Pledgor, to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Pledged Collateral.  All amounts collected by Creditor as the result of any action taken pursuant to this Section 11, and the liquidation value of any other property received as a result of such action, shall be applied by Creditor as follows:

 

(i)                                     First, to the payment of all fees and costs including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the collection of the Secured Obligations or in connection with the exercise or enforcement of Creditor’s rights, powers or remedies under this Agreement.

 

(ii)                                  Second, to the payment and satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations.

 

(b)                                 Creditor shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Creditor may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  If, under the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code, the Creditor may purchase any part of the Pledged Collateral, it may, in payment of any part of the purchase price thereof cancel any part of the Secured Obligations.  If any of the Pledged Collateral is sold on credit or for future delivery, it need not be retained by Creditor until the purchase price is paid and Creditor shall incur no liability if the purchaser fails to take up or pay for such collateral.  In case of any such failure, such collateral may be sold again.

 

(c)                                  Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the purchasers of the Pledged Collateral all instruments and other documents necessary or proper to sell, convey, and transfer title to such Pledged Collateral and, if approval of any sale of Pledged Collateral by any governmental body or officer is required, Pledgor shall prepare or cooperate fully in the preparation of and cause to be filed with such governmental body or officer all necessary or proper applications, reports, and forms and do all other things necessary or proper to expeditiously obtain such approval.

(d)                                 The remedies provided in this Agreement in favor of Creditor shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in favor of Creditor existing at law or in equity.

 

12.                                 Appointment of Creditor as Agent.  Pledgor hereby appoints and constitutes Creditor, its successors and assigns, as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action or executing any instrument that Creditor considers necessary or convenient for such purpose, including the power to endorse and deliver checks, notes and other instruments for the payment of money in the name of and on behalf of Pledgor, to endorse and deliver in the name of and on behalf of Pledgor securities certificates and execute and deliver in the name of and on behalf of Pledgor instructions to the issuers of uncertificated securities, and to execute and file in the name of and on behalf of Pledgor financing statements (which may be photocopies of this Agreement) and continuations and amendments to financing statements in the State of Delaware or elsewhere and Forms 144 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and will not be affected by the dissolution or bankruptcy of Pledgor or by the lapse of time.  If Pledgor fails to perform any act required by this Agreement, Creditor may perform such act in the name of and on behalf of Pledgor and at its expense which shall be chargeable to Pledgor under this Agreement.  Pledgor hereby consents and agrees that the issuers of or obligors of the Pledged Collateral or any registrar or transfer agent or trustee for any of the Pledged Collateral shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof as conclusive evidence of the rights of Creditor to effect any transfer pursuant to this Agreement and the authority granted to Creditor herein, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by Pledgor, or any other person, to any of such issuers, obligors, registrars, transfer agents, or trustees.

 

13.                                 Impact of Regulations.  Pledgor acknowledges that compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations thereunder and any relevant state securities laws and other applicable laws may impose limitations on the right of Creditor to sell or otherwise dispose of securities included in the Pledged Collateral.  For this reason, Pledgor hereby authorizes Creditor to sell any securities included in the Pledged Collateral in such manner and to such persons as would, in the judgment of Creditor, help to ensure that the transfer of such securities will be given prompt and effective approval by any relevant regulatory authorities and will not require any of the securities to be registered or qualified under any applicable securities laws.  Pledgor understands that a sale under the foregoing circumstances may yield a substantially lower price for such Pledged Collateral than would otherwise be obtainable if the same were registered and sold in the open market, and Pledgor shall not attempt to hold Creditor responsible for selling any of the Pledged Collateral at an inadequate price even if Creditor accepts the first offer received or if only one possible purchaser appears or bids at any such sale.  If Creditor shall sell any securities included in the Pledged Collateral at such sale, Creditor shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any qualified appraiser or investment banker as to the commercially reasonable price obtainable on the sale thereof but shall not be obligated to obtain such advice or opinion.  Pledgor hereby assigns to Creditor any registration rights or similar rights Pledgor may have from time to time with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral.

14.                               Expenses.  Pledgor will forthwith upon demand pay to Creditor:

 

(i)                                     the amount of any taxes which Creditor may have been required to pay by reason of holding the Pledged Collateral or to free any of the Pledged Collateral from any lien encumbrance or adverse claim thereon, and

 

(ii)                                  the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and disbursements of counsel and of any brokers, investment brokers, appraisers or other experts, that Creditor may incur in connection with (A) the administration or enforcement of this Agreement, including such expenses as are incurred to preserve the value of the Pledged Collateral and the validity, perfection, rank and value of Creditor’s security interest therein, (B) the collection, sale or other disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral, (C) the exercise by Creditor of any of the rights conferred upon it hereunder, or (D) any action or proceeding to enforce its rights under this Agreement or in pursuit of any non-judicial remedy hereunder including the sale of the Pledged Collateral.

 

Any such amount not paid on demand shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days) at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate (as that term is defined in the Master Lease).

 

15.                               Indemnity.  The Pledgor shall indemnify the Creditor and its directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys against, and hold them harmless from, any liability, cost or expense, including the fees and disbursements of their legal counsel, incurred by any of them under the corporate or securities laws applicable to holding or selling any of the Pledged Collateral, except for liability, cost or expense arising out of the recklessness or willful misconduct of the indemnified parties.

 

16.                               Performance by Creditor.  If Pledgor fails to duly and punctually perform, observe or comply with any condition, term or covenant contained in this Agreement, Creditor, without notice to or demand upon Pledgor and without waiving or releasing any of the Secured Obligations, may at any time thereafter perform such condition, term or covenant for the account and at the expense of Pledgor.  All sums paid or advanced in connection with the foregoing and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by Pledgor to Creditor on demand, and shall constitute and become a part of the Secured Obligations and Pledgor agrees to reimburse Creditor for any payment made or any expense incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law) by Creditor pursuant to this Agreement.

 

17.                               Registration Rights.  In the event Borrower proposes to register any securities under the Securities Act of 1933, Pledgor will give the Creditor notice of that fact.  In addition, and at no cost to Creditor, Pledgor will cause Borrower to register the Securities so that they may be disposed of by public sale or other public disposition.  Upon the completion of the registration, Pledgor will deliver certificates without any restrictive legend in exchange for the

 

10

 

unregistered Securities.  Pledgor shall indemnify and hold Creditor harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or liability arising out of the registration process, and will reimburse Creditor for any legal or other expenses incurred by Creditor as a result.

 

18.                               Waivers.  Pledgor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of any default under the Transaction Documents.  Neither the failure of nor any delay by any party to this Agreement to enforce any right hereunder or to demand compliance with its terms is a waiver of any right hereunder.  No action taken pursuant to this Agreement on one or more occasions is a waiver of any right hereunder or constitutes a course of dealing that modifies this Agreement.  No waiver of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall be binding on any party unless it is in writing and is signed by the party to be charged.  No such waiver of any right or remedy under any term of this Agreement shall in any event be deemed to apply to any subsequent default under the same or any other term contained herein.

 

19.                               Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the schedules and exhibits hereto and the agreements and instruments required to be executed and delivered hereunder set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and discharge all prior agreements (written or oral) and negotiations and all contemporaneous oral agreements concerning such subject matter and negotiations.  There are no oral conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement.

 

20.                               Amendments.  No amendment, modification or termination of this Agreement shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by the party to be charged.

 

21.                               Severability.  If any term or provision set forth in this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such terms or provisions to persons or circumstances, other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable term or provision were omitted.

 

22.                               Successors.  The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Pledgor, its heirs and personal representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of Creditor, its corporate successors and any holder, owner or assignee of any rights in any of the Transaction Documents and will be enforceable by them as their interest may appear.

 

23.                               Third Parties.  Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

 

24.                               Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.  Where this Agreement authorizes or requires a payment or performance on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, such payment or performance shall be deemed to be timely if made on the next succeeding business day.

25.                               Joint Preparation.  This Agreement shall be deemed to have been prepared jointly by the parties hereto.  Any ambiguity herein shall not be interpreted against any party hereto and shall be interpreted as if each of the parties hereto had prepared this Agreement.

 

26.                               Rules of Construction.  In this Agreement, words in the singular number include the plural, and in the plural include the singular; words of the masculine gender include the feminine and the neuter, and when the sense so indicates words of the neuter gender may refer to any gender and the word “or” is disjunctive but not exclusive.  The captions and section numbers appearing in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience.  They do not define, limit or describe the scope or intent of the provisions of this Agreement.
