8.            Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

(a)            Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for in any Loan Document or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into Lender's name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent Lender has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at a place or places to be designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and Lender may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate Lender's rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to Grantors in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as Lender may reasonably deem commercially reasonable. Grantors agree that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least 10 days' prior notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Lender may adjourn any sale by announcement prior to or 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. Grantor hereby waives any claims against Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that Grantors may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof; provided, however, the foregoing is not a waiver of any non-waivable provisions of the UCC, including the provisions of UCC §9-610(b). Grantors hereby acknowledge that (i) any such sale of the Collateral by Lender shall be made without warranty, (ii) Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, (iii) Lender may bid the Obligations (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness), if permitted by law, for the purchase, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the account of Lender and (iv) such actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of the Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, (x) upon written notice to Grantors from Lender, Grantors shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property for any purpose described in such notice and (y) Lender may, at any time and from time to time, upon 10 days' prior notice to Grantors, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property.

 

(b)            In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency.

 

8

 

 

(c)            Grantors hereby acknowledge that if Lender complies with any applicable requirements of law in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral. Additionally, each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

 

(d)            Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Equity upon liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to Lender and held as additional Collateral; and, in the case of any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Equity or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Equity pursuant to recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected Lien in favor of Lender, be delivered to Lender to be held by it hereunder as additional Collateral.

 

(e)            Any sum of money or property paid or distributed in respect to the Pledged Equity shall be received by Grantor, and held in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of such Grantor until delivered to Lender, as additional Collateral.

 

(f)            Lender shall have the right to receive any and all dividends and distributions, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Equity and make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine.

 

(g)            Lender shall have any and all voting and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity at any meeting of holder of the Equity Interests of the relevant Issuers or otherwise (or by written consent), and any and all rights of conversion, exchange, and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Equity as if Lender were the absolute owner thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Lender shall have no duty to Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in doing so.

 

(h)            Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Equity of Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from Lender in writing that states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without any other or further instructions from Grantor, and Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise permitted hereby, such Issuer shall pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to the Pledged Equity directly to Lender.

9

 

 

(b)            Grantors hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by Grantors, (iii) notice of any actions taken by Lender, any Guarantor or any other Person under any Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument relating thereto, (iv) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this subsection (b), might constitute grounds for relieving Grantors of any obligations hereunder and (v) any requirement that Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or other lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against Grantors or any other Person or any collateral.

 

(c)            All of the obligations of Grantors hereunder are joint and several.
