9. LENDER’S RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES.
9.1 Rights and
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been cured within any applicable cure period, Lender may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the
following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all
Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.8, all Obligations shall become
immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);
(b) Stop advancing
money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lender;
(c) Convert the Obligations or any portion thereof into Borrower’s common stock as provided in Section 10;
(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Lender
reasonably considers advisable;
12
(e) Make such payments and do such acts as
Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Lender in a mutually convenient location as Lender
may designate. Borrower authorizes Lender to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or Lien, which
in Lender’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned or leased premises, Borrower hereby grants Lender a
license to, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity or
otherwise;
(f) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all indebtedness at
any time owing to Borrower by Lender;
(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store,
finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use,
without charge, Borrower’s Intellectual Property, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise
of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit;
(h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on
terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) in a commercially reasonable manner, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Lender deems appropriate; and
(i) Credit bid and purchase at any public sale in accordance with the Code.
Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only during the existence of
an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s designated officers or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of
Lender’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Lender’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading
relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle and adjust all claims under and decisions with
respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Lender determines to be reasonable; (g) to amend or otherwise modify,
in its sole discretion, the IP Security Agreement, without first obtaining Borrower’s approval of or signature to such amendment or modification; (h) to transfer the Intellectual Property into the name of Lender or a third party to the extent
permitted under the Code; and (i) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral; provided that Lender may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name
of Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, and each and every one of Lender’s rights and
13
powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the
Obligations have been fully satisfied and performed.
9.3 Accounts
Collection. At any time during the existence of an Event of Default, (a) Lender may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Lender’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account and (b)
Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Lender, receive in trust all payments as Lender’s trustee and immediately deliver such payments to Lender in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper
endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Lender Expenses. If
Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Lender may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make
payment of the same or any part thereof; or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.4, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Lender
shall constitute Lender Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.3(b) and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Lender shall not constitute an agreement by
Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.5 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with the Code, Lender shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the
Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any escrow agent, carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency or
other Person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of Lender provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, the Merger Agreement and all other agreements, or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every right, power or remedy provided for herein and therein. The exercise by Lender on any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by any Person, including Lender, of any or all other rights, powers or remedies. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law or in equity.
No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election or
acquiescence by it. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Lender and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand; Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment.
10. NOTICES.
Unless
otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, demands, consents, requests, instructions and other communications to be given or delivered or permitted under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement, or in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be delivered and received by the intended recipient as follows: (a) if personally delivered, on the business day of such delivery (as evidenced by the receipt of the
