(k)          Maintenance of Insurance. The Grantor shall maintain insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations (including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability, property, hazard, rent and business interruption insurance) with respect to all of its assets and properties (including, without limitation, all real properties leased or owned by it and any and all Inventory and Equipment) and business, in such amounts and covering such risks as is required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated, in each case, reasonably acceptable to the Secured Parties.

 

(l)          Other Actions as to Any and All Collateral. The Grantor shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of acquiring or obtaining such Collateral) notify the Secured Parties in writing upon (i) acquiring or otherwise obtaining any Collateral after the date hereof consisting of Investment Related Property, Chattel Paper (electronic, tangible or otherwise), documents (as defined in Article 9 of the Code), promissory notes (as defined in the Code) or instruments (as defined in the Code) or (ii) any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral being or becoming evidenced after the date hereof by any Chattel Paper, documents, promissory notes, or instruments.

 

7.          Relation to Other Transaction Documents. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and any provision in the Securities Purchase Agreement or Notes, such provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement or Notes shall control, except to the extent the applicable provision in this Agreement is more restrictive with respect to the rights of the Grantor or imposes more burdensome or additional obligations on the Grantor, in which event the applicable provision in this Agreement shall control.

 

13
 

  

8.           Further Assurances.

 

(a)          The Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or that any Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interests granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable any Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral.

 

(b)          The Grantor authorizes the filing by any Secured Party of financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, including, but limited to, the recordation of the security interests granted hereunder in Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, and Grantor will execute and deliver to such Secured Party such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or as such Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the Security Interests granted or purported to be granted hereby. Upon the Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations, each Secured Party shall (at Grantor’ expense) file a termination statement and/or other necessary documents terminating and releasing any and all financing statements or Liens on the Collateral pursuant to Section 24 within five (5) Business Days following a written request therefor from Grantor.

 

(c)          The Grantor authorizes any Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments (i) describing the Collateral as “all real and personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (ii) describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, or (iii) that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance. The Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or amendments previously filed by any Secured Party in any jurisdiction.

 

(d)          The Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Secured Party affected thereby, subject to the Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.

 

(e)          Upon one (1) Business Day’s advance notice, the Grantor shall permit each Secured Party or its employees, accountants, attorneys or agents, access to examine and inspect any Collateral or any other property of the Grantor at any time during ordinary business hours.

 

9.           Secured Parties’ Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Secured Party (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of the Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any and all rights of the Grantor therein contained as fully as the Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right to use the Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses in connection with the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by the Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request that any Stock that is pledged hereunder be registered in the name of such Secured Party or any of its nominees.

 

14
 

  

10.         Secured Parties Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Grantor, on behalf of itself and each New Subsidiary of the Grantor, hereby irrevocably appoints each Secured Party as the attorney-in-fact of the Grantor and each such New Subsidiary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. In the event the Grantor or any New Subsidiary fails to execute or deliver in a timely manner any Transaction Document or other agreement, document, certificate or instrument which the Grantor or New Subsidiary now or at any time hereafter is required to execute or deliver pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Secured Party shall have full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor or New Subsidiary, and in the name of the Grantor, such New Subsidiary or otherwise, to execute and deliver each of the foregoing. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Secured Party shall have full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and each New Subsidiary, and in the name of any the Grantor, any such New Subsidiary or otherwise, to take any action and to execute any instrument which such Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

 

(a)          to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with any Collateral of the Grantor or New Subsidiary;

 

(b)          to receive and open all mail addressed to the Grantor or New Subsidiary and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to the Grantor or New Subsidiary to that of such Secured Party (provided such Secured Party shall promptly provide a copy of all such mail to the Grantor);

 

(c)          to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;

 

(d)          to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which such Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of the Grantor or New Subsidiary or otherwise to enforce the rights of any Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral; and

 

(e)          to use any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, customer lists, advertising matter or other industrial or intellectual property rights, in advertising for the exclusive purpose of sale and selling Inventory and other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of the Grantor or New Subsidiary.

 

15
 

  

To the extent permitted by law, the Grantor hereby ratifies, for itself and each New Subsidiary, all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Such power-of-attorney granted pursuant to this Section 10 is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.

 

11.         Secured Parties May Perform. If the Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default any Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of such Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor.

 

12.         Secured Parties’ Duties; Bailee for Perfection. The powers conferred on Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ respective interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party in favor of the Grantor or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder and except as provided in the Code, no Secured Party shall have any duty to the Grantor or any other Secured Party as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. A Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which such Secured Party accords its own property. Each Secured Party agrees that, with respect to any Collateral at any time or times in its possession and in which any other Secured Party has a Lien, the Secured Party in possession of any such Collateral shall be the bailee of each other Secured Party solely for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) each other Secured Party’s Lien in such Collateral, provided that no Secured Party shall be obligated to obtain or retain possession of any such Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Parties and the Grantor hereby agree that any Secured Party that is in possession of any Collateral at such time as the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Party have been paid in full may re-deliver such Collateral to the Grantor or, if requested by any Secured Party prior to such re-delivery, may deliver such Collateral (unless otherwise restricted by applicable law or court order and subject in all events to the receipt of an indemnification of all liabilities arising from such delivery) to the requesting Secured Party, without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Secured Party in such possession.

 

13.         Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any Secured Party may (a) notify Account Debtors of the Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral have been assigned to such Secured Party or that such Secured Party has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations.

 

16
 

 

14.         Disposition of Pledged Interests by Secured Party. None of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be registered or qualified under the various federal, state or other securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction, and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. The Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, any Secured Party may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal, state and other securities laws and sold on the open market. The Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if a Secured Party shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, such Secured Party shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that such Secured Party has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

15.         Voting Rights.

 

(a)          Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) any Secured Party may, at its option, and with two (2) Business Days prior notice to the Grantor, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to the Secured Parties under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights in respect of the Pledged Interests, but under no circumstances is any Secured Party obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if such Secured Party duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, the Grantor hereby appoints such Secured Party as the Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner that such Secured Party deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. Such power-of-attorney granted pursuant to this Section 15 is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.

 

(b)          For so long as the Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests, it covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Secured Parties, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially or adversely affect the rights of the Secured Parties exercising the voting rights owned by the Grantor or the value of the Pledged Interests.

 

17
 

 

16.         Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

(a)          Any Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Transaction Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, any Secured Party without any demand, advertisement, or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or by any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of such Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by such Secured Party and make it available to such Secured Party at one or more locations where the Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of such Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as such Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. No Secured Party shall be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Any Secured Party 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.

 

(b)          Each Secured Party is hereby granted a non-exclusive license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, the Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, other industrial or intellectual property or any property of a similar nature, whether owned by the Grantor or with respect to which the Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (but only to the extent (i) such license, sublicense or agreement does not prohibit such use by such Secured Party, and (ii) the Grantor will not be in default under such license, sublicense, or other agreement as a result of such use by such Secured Party), as it pertains to the Collateral, for the exclusive purpose of preparing for sale, advertising for sale and effectuating the sale of any Collateral, and the Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of such Secured Party.

 

(c)          Any cash held by any Secured Party as Collateral and all proceeds received by any Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 17 hereof. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient for the Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations (as defined below), the Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

 

18
 

 

(d)          The Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing any Secured Party shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Each Secured Party shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection it may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by any Secured Party.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Secured Party agrees that it will not exercise any remedy provided for under this Agreement with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral unless such Secured Party is a Permitted Secured Party (provided that the foregoing shall not prevent any Secured Party from commencing or participating in any Insolvency Proceeding or taking any action (other than with respect to the Collateral) to enforce the payment or performance of the Grantor’s obligations under any of the Notes or other Transaction Documents). This Section 16(e) is not intended to confer any rights or benefits upon the Grantor or any other Person except Secured Parties, and no Person (including the Grantor) other than the Secured Parties shall have any right to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 16(e). As between the Grantor and any Secured Party, any action that such Secured Party may take under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and approved by the other Secured Parties.

 

(f)          Each Secured Party may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Transaction Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to the Grantor’s Deposit Accounts in which any such Secured Party’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the Grantor to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of such Secured Party, and (ii) with respect to the Grantor’s Securities Accounts in which such Secured Party’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of such Secured Party, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of such Secured Party.

 

17.         Priority of Liens; Application of Proceeds of Collateral. Each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the time or order of the filing of any financing statement or other registration or document with respect to the Collateral and the Security Interests, or any provision of this Agreement, any other Security Document, the Code or other applicable law, solely as amongst the Secured Parties, the separate Security Interests of the Secured Parties shall have the same rank and priority; provided, that, the foregoing shall not apply to any Security Interest of a Secured Party that is void or voidable as a matter of law. In furtherance thereof, all proceeds of Collateral received by any Secured Party shall be applied as follows:

 

19
 

 

(a)          first, ratably to pay any expenses due to any of the Secured Parties (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by any Secured Party to correct any default under or enforce any provision of the Transaction Documents, or after the occurrence of any Event of Default in gaining possession of, maintaining, handling, preserving, storing, shipping, selling, preparing for sale, or advertising to sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, irrespective of whether a sale is consummated) or indemnities then due to any of the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents, until paid in full;

 

(b)          second, ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents, until paid in full;

 

(c)          third, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Secured Obligations then due to any of the Secured Parties, until paid in full;

 

(d)          fourth, ratably to pay the principal amount of all Secured Obligations then due to any of the Secured Parties, until paid in full;

 

(e)          fifth, ratably to pay any other Secured Obligations then due to any of the Secured Parties; and

 

(f)          sixth, to Grantor or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

 

18.         Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of any Secured Party as provided for in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by any Secured Party, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Secured Party of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. The Grantor acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Secured Party and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Grantor therefore agrees that, in the event of any breach or any threatened breach, each Secured Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

19.         Marshaling. No Secured Party shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

 

20
 

  

20.         Acknowledgment.

 

(a)          Each Secured Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that no other Secured Party has agreed to act for it as an administrative or collateral agent, and each Secured Party is and shall remain solely responsible for the attachment, perfection and priority of all Liens created by this Agreement or any other Security Document in favor of such Secured Party. No Secured Party shall have by reason of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document an agency or fiduciary relationship with any other Secured Party. No Secured Party (which term, as used in this sentence, shall include reference to each Secured Party’s officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and affiliates and to the officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of such Secured Party’s affiliates) shall: (i) have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Security Documents or (ii) be required to take, initiate or conduct any enforcement action (including any litigation, foreclosure or collection proceedings hereunder or under any of the other Security Documents). Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against any other Secured Party as a result of such Secured Party acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Security Documents except as a result and to the extent of losses caused by such Secured Party’s actual gross negligence or willful misconduct (it being understood and agreed by each Secured Party that the delivery by any Significant Secured Party of one or more Veto Notices shall not be deemed to be or construed as gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Secured Party delivering any such Veto Notice). No Secured Party assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach by the Grantor or any other Secured Party of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. No Secured Party makes to any other Secured Party any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to any Secured Obligations, Collateral, Transaction Document or the Grantor. No Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible to any other Secured Party or any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents for: (i) any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any of the Transaction Documents or in any certificate or other document furnished pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents; (iii) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency or existence of any Collateral, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; or (iv) the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of the Grantor or any Account Debtor. No Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall have any obligation to any other Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by the Grantor of any of its duties or agreements under any of the Transaction Documents or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any of the Transaction Documents.

 

21
 

  

(b)          Each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Grantor and its own decision to enter into the Transaction Documents and to purchase the Notes, and each Secured Party has made such inquiries concerning the Transaction Documents, the Collateral and the Grantor as such Secured Party feels necessary and appropriate, and has taken such care on its own behalf as would have been the case had it entered into the Transaction Documents without any other Secured Party. Each Secured Party hereby further acknowledges and represents that the other Secured Parties have not made any representations or warranties to it concerning the Grantor, any of the Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents. Each Secured Party also hereby acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Secured Parties, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in taking or refraining to take any other action under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. No Secured Party shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any other Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to such Secured Party by the Grantor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or assets of the Grantor (or any of its affiliates) which may come into possession of such Secured Party.

 

21.         Indemnity and Expenses.

 

(a)          Without limiting any obligations of the Grantor under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Grantor agrees to indemnify all Secured Parties from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement) or any other Transaction Document, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations.

 

(b)          The Grantor shall, upon demand, pay to each Secured Party all of the reasonable costs and expenses which such Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of such Secured Party hereunder or (iii) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 

22
 

 

22.         Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES SOLELY WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Grantor and Secured Parties holding at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 22 shall be binding on all Secured Parties, provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (a) applies to less than all of the Secured Parties or (b) imposes any obligation or liability on any Secured Party without such Secured Party’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Secured Party’s sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that all of the single Significant Secured Parties (in a writing signed by all such Significant Secured Parties) may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 22 shall be binding on all Secured Parties, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (i) applies to less than all the Secured Parties (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (ii) imposes any obligation or liability on any Secured Party without such Secured Party’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Secured Party’s sole discretion).

 

23.         Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder (a) shall be given in the form and manner set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement and (b) shall be delivered, (i) in the case of notice to the Grantor, by delivery of such notice to the Grantor’s address specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by the Grantor in a written notice to each of the Secured Parties in accordance with the provisions thereof, and (ii) in the case of notice to any Secured Party, by delivery of such notice to such Secured Party at its address specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by such Secured Party in a written notice to the Grantor and each other Secured Party in accordance with the provisions thereof.

 

24.         Separate, Continuing Security Interests; Assignments under Transaction Documents. This Agreement shall create a separate, continuing security interest in the Collateral in favor of each Secured Party and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations, (b) be binding upon the Grantor, and its permitted successors and permitted assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may, in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise. Upon Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations, the Security Interests granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, each Secured Party will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by the Grantor to any Secured Party nor any additional loans made by any Secured Party to the Grantor, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to the Grantor, or any of them, by any Secured Party, nor any other act of the Secured Parties, or any of them, shall release the Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by all Secured Parties. No Secured Party shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by such Secured Party and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have had on any other occasion.

 

23
