Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Amendment and Exchange Agreement

 

Between October 16, 2014 and July 20, 2015, AllDigital Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with 13 accredited investors (the “Investors”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $2,218,461.45 in principal amount of its 5% Senior Convertible Notes due December 31, 2016 (the “Initial Notes”) to the Investors in a private offering. The Initial Notes were convertible into an aggregate of up to 14,789,739 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Initial Notes had a maturity date of December 31, 2016 (“Old Maturity Date”). The Initial Notes bore interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum payable quarterly on the fifth (5th) day after the last business day of each calendar quarter. After the Old Maturity Date, and until the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Initial Notes had been paid, the Initial Notes bore interest at a rate of 1.0% per month. The outstanding principal under the Initial Notes was convertible at any time prior to repayment, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations. All accrued interest on the Initial Notes would have been paid in cash upon any conversion of the Initial Notes.

 

On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of the Investors representing a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Initial Notes. On July 31, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued $2,218,461.45 in principal amount of its 5% Senior Convertible Notes due December 31, 2017 (the “Exchange Notes”) in exchange for the Initial Notes (the “Exchange”). The Exchange Notes have substantially identical terms to the Initial Notes except that the maturity date of the Exchange Notes is December 31, 2017 and all unpaid interest due and payable under the Exchange Notes is due and payable on the new maturity date. The Exchange Notes will be convertible into an aggregate of up to 14,789,739 shares of the Company’s common stock. On the Closing Date, under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Initial Notes were cancelled. The Exchange Notes are secured under the terms of an Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated July 31, 2015, by and among the Company, Richard P. Stevens, II, as collateral agent, and certain of the Investors representing a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Initial Notes, by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets.

AMENDMENT AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of July 31, 2015, is made by and among AllDigital Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the investors constituting the holders of at least a majority in principal amount (“Majority in Interest”) of the Company’s 5% Senior Secured Convertible Note due December 31, 2016 (“Original Notes”) identified on the signature pages hereto. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and each of the holders (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”) of the Company’s Original Notes, effective as of the date the Purchase Agreement was executed by the Company.

 

RECITALS

 

A. Each Investor purchased an Original Note from the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and, in connection therewith, also entered into a Security Agreement dated as of the effective date of the Purchase Agreement (“Original Security Agreement”).

 

B. The Company desires to extend the Note Maturity Date (as defined in the Original Notes) of the Original Notes to December 31, 2017 and make all unpaid interest due and payable on the Note Maturity Date and therefore, the Company and the holders of at least the Majority in Interest of the Original Notes desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company and each Investor shall exchange the Original Note held by each such Investor for a 5% Senior Secured Convertible Note due December 31, 2017 with unpaid interest due and payable on the new maturity date (collectively, the “Exchanged Notes”). The Exchanged Notes will be substantially identical to the Original Notes except that the maturity date of the Exchanged Notes will be December 31, 2017 and all unpaid interest due and payable under the Exchanged Notes will be due and payable on the new maturity date. The Exchanged Notes will be convertible into common stock of the Company (the “Exchanged Conversion Shares” and together with the Exchanged Notes, the “Securities”). Interest on the Exchanged Notes shall accrue at the interest rate described therein and shall commence accruing on the Original Issue Date of the Original Notes.

 

C. Any provision of the Original Notes may be amended upon written consent of the Company and holders of a Majority in Interest of the Original Notes. Therefore, each of the Original Notes shall be amended and exchanged for Exchanged Notes at the Closing (as defined below).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investors agree as follows:

 

1. EXCHANGE.

 

1.1 Exchange. On the Closing Date (as defined below) each Investor shall, and the Company shall, exchange the Original Note held by such Investor for an Exchanged Note. At the Closing (as defined below), the following transactions shall occur (such transactions in this Section 1, the “Exchange”):

 

(a) Delivery. In exchange for an Investor’s Original Note, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor an Exchanged Note. Each Investor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company (or its designee) the Original Note, as soon as commercially practicable following the Closing. As of the Closing Date, all of the Investors’ rights under the Original Notes shall be extinguished and the Original Note shall be cancelled. As of the Closing Date, the Exchanged Note shall be deemed issued by the Company but will not be delivered to the Investor until the Company’s receipt of the Investor’s Original Note.

 

 
 

 

(b) Other Documents. The Company and the Investor shall execute and/or deliver such other documents and agreements as are customary and reasonably necessary to effectuate the Exchange, including an Amended and Restated Security Agreement (“New Security Agreement”) that will replace the Original Security Agreement.

 

1.2 Closing. The closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) shall occur on July 31, 2015 or such other date as is mutually acceptable to the holders of a Majority in Interest of the Original Notes and the Company (the “Closing Date”).

 

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investors as follows:

 

(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company is duly formed and validly existing under the laws of Nevada, with full power and authority to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted and to own its assets. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no further consent or action is required to be obtained or taken, as the case may be, by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. This Agreement has been (or upon delivery will be) duly executed by the Company and is, or when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute, the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not, and will not, (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound, or affected, except to the extent that such conflict, default, termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation right would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject (including, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject), or by which any property or asset of the Company are bound or affected, except to the extent that such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, other than: (i) the filing of a financing statement in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code with the Secretary of State of Nevada, and (ii) the filing of a Form D with the SEC and such filings as are required to be made under applicable state securities laws.

 

(e) The Securities. The Securities are duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Exchanged Note, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens and will not be subject to preemptive or similar rights of stockholders (other than those imposed by the Investors). The Securities, when duly executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

 

(f) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any Person acting on the Company’s behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six months, made any offer or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Securities as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable law. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors set forth in Section 2.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Investors as contemplated hereby.

The Company further acknowledges that no Investor, in its capacity as such, is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by any Investor or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Investors’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Investor that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its advisors and representatives.

(i) Seniority. As of the Closing, no indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior to the Exchanged Notes in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured by purchase money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets covered thereby) and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to the property covered thereby).

(h) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Investor that is an entity or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such that are not material and do not otherwise affect the ability of such Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(i) Restricted Securities. The Investors understand that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Investors understand that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

 

(j) Legends. It is understood that, except as provided in Section 4.1(b) of the Purchase Agreement, certificates evidencing the Securities will bear the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(k) No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Such Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

5. Conversion.

 

5.1 Voluntary Conversion. The Holder may, at any time before this Note has been repaid in full, elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as defined below).

 

5.2 Conversion Procedure.

 

(a) Each voluntary conversion of this Note shall be effected by the surrender of this Note at the principal office of the Company at any time during normal business hours, together with a written notice by the Holder stating that the Holder desires to convert the entire, or a specified increment of, principal of this Note into Common Stock. Each conversion of a Note will be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which this Note has been surrendered and the notice has been received, and at that time, the rights of the Holder of this Note will cease and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion will be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby.

 

(b) Within five (5) trading days after a conversion has been effected, the Company will deliver to the converting Holder:

 

(i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by reason of conversion (i.e., the principal amount of the Note being converted divided by the Conversion Price) in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting Holder has specified (bearing such legends as are required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Company); and

 

(ii) a replacement Note representing the principal amount of this Note delivered to the Company in connection with the conversion but which was not converted.

 

5.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Holder an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price (as defined below) applied to effect such conversion by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.

 

5.4 Conversion without Charge to Holder. The issuance of certificates for Common Stock upon conversion of this Note will be made without charge to the Holder for any tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with conversion and the related issuance of Common Stock. Upon conversion of any portion of this Note, the Company will take all actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the Common Stock issuable with respect to conversion will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

-5-
 

 

5.5 Transfer Books. The Company will not close its books against the transfer of this Note or of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of this Note in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of this Note.

 

5.6 Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be $0.15 per share of Common Stock and shall be subject to adjustment as described in Section 6.

 

6. Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 6.

 

6.1 Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Notes); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

6.2 Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such note into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.2 and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

-6-
 

 

6.3 Cash Distributions. No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest on the Company’s Common Stock or other securities purchasable hereunder will be made to the Conversion Price.

 

6.4 Calculations. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

6.5 Notice to the Holder.

 

(a) Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 6, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(b) Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Note during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

 

-7-
 

 

7. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note, without limitation of such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder of this Note, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

8. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 10 and 11, the rights and obligations of Company and the Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

 

9. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of Company and the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

 

10. Transfer of this Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note or securities into which such Note may be converted, the Holder will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of the Holder’s counsel, or other evidence if reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect). Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Holder that the Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 11 that the opinion of counsel for the Holder, or other evidence, is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Holder promptly after such determination has been made. Each Note thus transferred and each certificate representing the securities thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Subject to the foregoing, transfers of this Note shall be registered upon registration books maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Prior to presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner and the Holder of this Note for the purpose of receiving all payments of principal and interest hereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note shall be overdue and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

11. Assignment by the Company. Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by Company without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 

12. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and shall be deemed effectively given as described in Section 5.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

13. Pari Passu Notes. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements or pursuant to the terms of such Notes. In the event the Holder receives payments in excess of its pro rata share of the Company’s payments to the holders of all of the Notes, then the Holder shall hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the holders of the other Notes and shall pay such amounts held in trust to such other holders upon demand by such holders.

 

14. Payment. Payment shall be made in lawful tender of the United States.

 

15. Usury. In the event any interest is paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of this Note.

 

16. Waivers. The Company hereby waives notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this instrument.

Except as set forth under the corresponding section of the disclosure schedule delivered to the Secured Parties concurrently herewith (the “Disclosure Schedule”), which Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed a part hereof, the Company represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Secured Parties, as of the Effective Date, as follows:

 

(a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of equity.

 

(b) The Company has no place of business or offices where their respective books of account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located, except the Company’s principal executive offices. None of such Collateral is in the possession of any consignee, bailee, warehouseman, agent or processor.

 

(c) Upon the Effective Date, except for Permitted Liens or as set forth on Section 4(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company is the sole owner of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by the Company in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and is fully authorized to grant the Security Interests. Upon the Effective Date, except pursuant to the Initial Agreement and as set forth on Section 4(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, to the actual knowledge of the executive officers of the Company, there shall not be on file in any governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security agreement, license or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those that will be filed in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. Except as set forth on Section 4(c) of the Disclosure Schedule and in this Agreement, as long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Company shall not execute and shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or agency any other financing statement or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed or recorded in connection with Permitted Liens or in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) and except as may otherwise be permitted under the terms of the Notes.

 

(d) No written claim has been received that any Collateral or the Company’s use of any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no adverse decision to the Company’s claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to the Company’s right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no proceeding involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.

(e) The Company shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at its principal places of business and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Parties at least 30 days prior to such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location thereof (which location must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that appropriate financing statements under the UCC and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interests created in favor of the Secured Parties as a valid, perfected and continuing perfected first priority lien (except for such instances where Permitted Liens exist as a perfected first priority lien) in the Collateral.

 

(f) This Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Parties a valid security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens securing the payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon making the filings described in the immediately following paragraph, all security interests created hereunder in any Collateral which may be perfected by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements shall have been duly perfected. Except for the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements referred to in the immediately following paragraph, the recordation of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (as defined below) if required, the execution and delivery of deposit account control agreements satisfying the requirements of Section 9104(a)(2) of the UCC with respect to each deposit account of the Company within 60 days after the Effective Date, and the delivery of the certificates and other instruments provided in Section 3, no action is necessary to create, perfect or protect the security interests created hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for the filing of said financing statements, the recordation of said Intellectual Property Security Agreement, and the execution and delivery of said deposit account control agreements, no consent of any third parties (except for consents that have been received) and no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the creation or perfection of the Security Interests created hereunder in the Collateral or (iii) the enforcement of the rights of the Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder.

 

(g) The Company hereby authorizes the Agent to file or record one or more financing statements under the UCC and any document giving notice of the Secured Parties’ rights in the Real Property Leases (as defined in Section 4(p) below), with respect to the Security Interests, with the proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction deemed proper by it.

 

(h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not (i) violate any of the provisions of any Organizational Documents of the Company or any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing the Company’s debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected. If any, all required consents (including, without limitation, from stockholders or creditors of the Company) necessary for the Company to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder have been obtained.

 

(i) Except as set forth on Section 4(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, as of the Effective Date, the Company has no subsidiaries, no Pledged Securities and no Pledged Interests.

 

(j) The ownership and other equity interests in partnerships and limited liability companies, if any, obtained after the Effective Date and included in the Collateral (the “Pledged Interests”) by their express terms will not provide that they are securities governed by Article 8 of the UCC and will not be held in a securities account or by any financial intermediary.

(n) The Company shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to the Collateral, including Collateral hereafter acquired, against loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured against by entities of established reputation having similar properties similarly situated and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by other such entities and otherwise as is prudent for entities engaged in similar businesses but in any event sufficient to cover the full replacement cost thereof. The Company shall cause each insurance policy issued in connection herewith to provide that (a) the Agent will be named as lender loss payee and additional insured under each such insurance policy and (b) if such insurance be proposed to be cancelled or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify the Agent and such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Agent for at least 30 days after receipt by the Agent of such notice, unless the effect of such change is to extend or increase coverage under the policy. Copies of such policies or the related certificates, in each case, naming the Agent as lender loss payee and additional insured shall be delivered to the Agent at least annually and at the time any new policy of insurance is issued. The Agent shall have no obligation or liability for determining whether insurance coverage is appropriate or in effect.

 

(o) The Company shall, within 10 days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the Agent promptly, in sufficient detail, of any material adverse change in the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the Secured Parties’ security interest.

(b) If the Company shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any securities or other property (including, without limitation, shares of Pledged Securities or instruments representing Pledged Securities acquired after the date hereof, or any options, warrants, rights or other similar property or certificates representing a dividend, or any distribution in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification or increase or reduction of capital, or issued in connection with any reorganization of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries) in respect of the Pledged Securities (whether as an addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, such Pledged Securities or otherwise), the Company agrees to (i) accept the same as the agent of the Secured Parties; (ii) hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and (iii) to deliver any and all certificates or instruments evidencing the same to the Agent on or before the close of business on the fifth business day following the receipt thereof by the Company, in the exact form received together with the Necessary Endorsements, to be held by the Agent subject to the terms of this Agreement as Collateral.

 

8. Rights and Remedies Upon Default.

 

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Parties, acting through the Agent, shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Notes, and the Secured Parties shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limitation, the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have the rights and powers listed below and shall act in accordance with such rights and powers:

 

(i) The Agent shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and the Company shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Company’s premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Agent, without rent, all of the Company’s premises and facilities for the purpose of the Agent taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form and the Company hereby waives its right to notice of such actions.

 

(ii) All rights of the Company to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise and all rights of the Company to receive the dividends and interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain, shall cease. Upon such notice, the Agent shall have the right to receive, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any interest, cash dividends or other payments on the Collateral and, at the option of the Agent, to exercise all voting rights pertaining thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise all rights with respect to the Collateral as it were the sole and absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, to vote and/or to exchange any or all of the Collateral in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other readjustment concerning or involving the Collateral or the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.

 

(iii) The Agent shall have the right to operate the business of the Company using the Collateral at the Company’s premises and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Company or right of redemption of the Company, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of the Company, which are hereby waived and released.

 

12
 

 

(iv) The Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify any account debtors and any obligors under instruments or accounts to make payments directly to the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and to enforce the Company’s rights against such account debtors and obligors.

 

(v) The Agent may (but is not obligated to) direct any financial intermediary or any other person or entity holding any investment property to transfer the same to the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or its designee.

 

(vi) The Agent may (but is not obligated to) transfer any or all Intellectual Property registered in the name of the Company at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or Copyright Office into the name of the Secured Parties or any designee or any purchaser of any Collateral, including that of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

 

(b) The Agent shall comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such warranties. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Company will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Agent or party acting on behalf of the Agent. In addition, the Company waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.

 

(c) For the purpose of enabling the Agent to further exercise rights and remedies under this Section 8 or elsewhere provided by agreement or applicable law, the Company hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Company) to use, license or sublicense following an Event of Default, any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

 

9. Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder or from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring any portion of the Collateral shall be applied first, to the expenses and costs of the Agent in connection with the Agent’s performance hereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith and any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Agent), and then to satisfaction of the Obligations pro rata among the Secured Parties (based on then-outstanding principal amounts of the Notes at the time of any such determination), and then to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Agent shall pay to the Company any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Agent and the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Company will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 12% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Agent or the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Parties and the Agent arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Parties as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

13
 

 

10. Securities Law Provision. The Company recognizes that the Agent may be limited in its ability to effect a sale to the public of all or part of the Pledged Securities by reason of certain prohibitions in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other federal or state securities laws (collectively, the “Securities Laws”), and may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a restricted group of purchasers who may be required to agree to acquire the Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Company agrees that sales so made may be at prices and on terms less favorable than if the Pledged Securities were sold to the public, and that the Agent has no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to register the Pledged Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Laws. The Company shall cooperate with the Agent in its attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws (including, without limitation, registration thereunder if requested by the Agent) applicable to the sale of the Pledged Securities by the Agent.

 

11. Costs and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements pursuant to the UCC, continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Agent. The Company shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Agent is reasonably likely to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interests therein. The Company will also, upon demand, pay to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may incur in connection with the protection, satisfaction, foreclosure, collection or enforcement of the Security Interest and the preparation, administration, continuance, amendment or enforcement of this Agreement and pay to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Secured Parties may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of collection of the Secured Parties under the Notes. Such fees shall be paid within 15 days of submission of a request by the Agent to the Company and the Company shall promptly notify the Secured Parties of the payment of such fees.

 

12. Responsibility for Collateral. The Company assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Agent nor any Secured Party (i) has any duty (either before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral, or (ii) has any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and (b) the Company shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Company thereunder. Neither the Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Company under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent or any Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract, insurance policy or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent or any Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times.

13. Security Interests Absolute. All rights of the Secured Parties and all obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Notes or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guarantee, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Parties to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to the Company, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interests granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Parties shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Company expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Parties hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Parties, then, in any such event, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Company waives all right to require the Secured Parties to proceed against any other person or entity or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Parties may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. The Company waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.

 

14. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interests shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Notes have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged; provided, however, that all indemnities of the Company contained in this Agreement shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Agent.

 

15. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

 

(a) The Company authorizes the Agent, acting on behalf of the Secured Parties, as set forth herein, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Agent and his agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution, as the Company’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in the name of the Agent or the Company, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any note, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the Agent; (ii) to sign and endorse any financing statement pursuant to the UCC or any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (v) to transfer any Intellectual Property or provide licenses respecting any Intellectual Property; and (vi) generally, at the option of the Agent, and at the expense of the Company, at any time, or from time to time, to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments and to do all acts and things which the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interests granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement and the Notes all as fully and effectually as the Company might or could do; and the Company hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding. The designation set forth herein shall be deemed to amend and supersede any inconsistent provision in the Organizational Documents or other documents or agreements to which the Company is subject or to which the Company is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent is specifically authorized to execute and file any applications for or instruments of transfer and assignment of any patents, trademarks, copyrights or other Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office.

 

15
 

 

(b) On a continuing basis, the Company will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on Section 15(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the Agent, to perfect the Security Interests granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Agent the grant or perfection of a perfected security interest in all the Collateral under the UCC.

 

(c) The Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as the Company’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and instead of the Company and in the name of the Company, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the filing of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of the Company where permitted by law, which financing statements may (but need not) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” or words of like import, and ratifies all such actions taken by the Agent. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.

17. Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, then the Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies hereunder.

 

16
 

 

18. Collateral Agent.

 

(a) Appointment. The Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby designate Richard P. Stevens, II as the Agent to act as specified herein. Each Secured Party shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through his agents or employees at the expense of the Company as set forth in this Agreement.

 

(b) Nature of Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Agent nor any of his partners, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by him as such under this Agreement or hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely by him or his gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other related agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Company or any Secured Party; and nothing in the Agreement or any other related agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other related agreement except as expressly set forth herein and therein.

 

(c) Lack of Reliance on the Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each Secured Party, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with such Secured Party’s investment in the Company, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the Collateral from time to time, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or at any time or times thereafter. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Company or any Secured Party for any recitals, statements, information, financial statements, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other related agreement or any contracts or insurance policies, or for the financial condition of the Company or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other related agreement, or the financial condition of the Company, or the value of any of the Collateral, or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under this Agreement, Notes or any of the other related agreement.

 

17
 

 

(d) Certain Rights of the Agent. The Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral, on behalf of all of the Secured Parties. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Agent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement to be executed (or not to be executed) by the Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Agreement as it deems appropriate. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim under or in relation to any Transaction Document, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto. If such instructions are not provided despite the Agent’s request therefor, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action, and if such action is taken, shall be entitled to appropriate indemnification from the Secured Parties in respect of actions to be taken by the Agent; and the Agent shall not incur liability to any person or entity by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any other related agreement, and the Company shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Agent pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Agent shall not be required to take any action which the Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose it to personal liability, or (ii) require it to expend or risk its own funds, or (iii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Notes, any other related agreement or applicable law.

 

(e) Reliance. The Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, facsimile, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement, the Notes and any other related agreement and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it and upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement, the Notes and any other related agreement and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected by it. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Secured Party to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted pursuant to this Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

 

(f) Indemnification. To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Company, the Secured Parties will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Agent, in proportion to the outstanding amount of their respective principal amounts of the Notes at the time of determination, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under this Agreement, the Notes and any other related agreement, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes and any other related agreement except for those determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Prior to taking any action hereunder as the Agent, the Agent may require each Secured Party to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines in good faith is necessary to protect the Agent for costs and expenses associated with taking such action. The provisions of this Section 18(f) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Agent.

 

18
 

 

(g) Resignation by the Agent.

 

  (i) The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice (pursuant to Section 16) to the Company and the Secured Parties. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor the Agent pursuant to clauses (ii) and (ii) below.
     
  (ii) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting by a Majority in Interest, shall appoint a successor collateral agent hereunder.
     
  (iii) If a successor collateral agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30-day period, the Agent shall then appoint a successor collateral agent who shall serve as collateral agent until such time, if any, as the Secured Parties appoint a successor collateral agent as provided above. If a successor collateral agent has not been appointed within such 30-day period, the Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Company and the Secured Parties in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor collateral agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith, shall be payable by the Company on demand.

 

(h) Rights with respect to Collateral. Each Secured Party agrees with all other Secured Parties and the Agent (i) that it shall not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to its security interest in the Collateral, whether pursuant to any other agreement or otherwise (other than pursuant to this Agreement), or take or institute any action against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than any such action arising from the breach of this Agreement) and (ii) that such Secured Party has no other rights with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth in this Agreement, the Notes and any other related agreements. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as collateral agent hereunder by a successor collateral agent, such successor collateral agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring collateral agent and the retiring collateral agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring collateral agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as collateral agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was collateral agent.

 

19. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) No course of dealing between the Company and the Secured Parties, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

(b) All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Notes or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.

 

(c) This Agreement, together with the exhibits and Disclosure Schedule hereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement and the exhibits and Disclosure Schedule hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Agent, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought.

 

19
 

 

(d) If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

(e) No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

(f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent (other than by merger). Any Secured Party may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any person to whom such Secured Party assigns or transfers any Obligations, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Obligations, by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the Secured Parties.

 

(g) Each party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

 

(h) Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, the Company agrees that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Notes (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Orange County, California. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, the Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Orange County, California for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(i) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

 

20
 

 

(j) The Company shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(k) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to subject the Agent or any Secured Party to liability as an officer or director of the Company or a partner in any of the Company’s direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a partnership or as a member in any of the Company direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, nor shall the Agent or any Secured Party be deemed to have assumed any obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of any the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or otherwise, unless and until any such Secured Party exercises its right to be substituted for the Company as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.

 

(l) To the extent that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral and the enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of any partner or member, as applicable, of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company or compliance with any provisions of any of the Organizational Documents, the Company hereby grants such consent and approval and waive any such noncompliance with the terms of said documents.

 

(m) The Company and each Secured Party is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Secured Party), hereby notifies all future Secured Parties, including subsequent assignees or transferees, that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Secured Party, which information includes the name and address of the Secured Party and other information that will allow the Agent, to identify the Secured Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Secured Parties shall provide such information and take such actions as are requested by the Agent in order to maintain compliance with the Patriot Act.

 

(n) In no event shall the Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder directly or indirectly caused by events beyond its control, including general labor disputes, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, losses or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; provided, however, that lack of funds or other financial circumstances and labor disputes only by the personnel of the affected party shall not constitute an event beyond its control hereunder and provided, further, that the Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performances as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
