ARTICLE IV
COVENANTS
The Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as this
Security Agreement shall remain in effect, the Grantor agrees to the following:
SECTION 4.1. AS TO RECEIVABLES.
(a) The Grantor shall keep its place(s) of business and its
chief executive office and the office(s) where it keeps its books and records
(including those concerning the Receivables) and all original copies of the
Distribution Agreements located, in each case, at its address specified in Item
A of SCHEDULE I, or, upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser, at
such other locations in a jurisdiction where all actions required by the first
sentence of Section 4.4 shall have been taken with respect to the Receivables
and the Distribution Agreements; not change its name or its state or place of
incorporation or organization except upon 30 days' prior written notice to the
Purchaser; and hold and preserve such books and records.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), until
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor shall, subject
to Section 5.10 of the Assignment Agreement, continue to collect, at its own
expense, all amounts due or to become due the Grantor under the Distribution
Agreements. In connection with such collections, provided no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor may, subject to
6
10
Section 5.10 of the Assignment Agreement, take (and, at the Purchaser's
direction, shall take) such action as the Grantor may deem necessary or
advisable to enforce collection of the applicable Distribution Agreement. At any
time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Purchaser
shall have the right to notify the account debtors or obligors under any
Receivables of the security interest of the Purchaser in such Receivables to the
Purchaser and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment to the
Purchaser of any amounts due or to become due thereunder and enforce collection
of any of the Receivables by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or
exchange all or any part thereof, or adjust, settle or compromise or extend or
renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any
indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, upon the request of the Purchaser, the Grantor will,
at its own expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Receivables to
make payment to the Purchaser of any amounts due or to become due thereunder,
and in such event, the Purchaser is authorized to endorse, in the name of the
Grantor, any item representing any payment on or other proceeds of any of the
Receivables.
(c) After delivery to the Grantor by the Purchaser of a notice
that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) all amounts and
proceeds (including Instruments) received by the Grantor in respect of any
Receivables shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser
hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Purchaser in the same form as so received (with any
necessary endorsements) to be held as cash collateral and applied as provided by
this Security Agreement; and (ii) subject to Section 5.10 of the Assignment
Agreement, the Grantor shall not adjust, settle, or compromise the amount or
payment of any Receivable, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or
obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
(d) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, (A) the Purchaser may in its own name or in the name of others
communicate with account debtors in order to verify with them to the Purchaser's
reasonable satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables and
(B) the Purchaser shall have the right, at the Grantor's expense, to make test
verifications of the Receivables in any reasonable manner and through any medium
that it considers advisable, and the Grantor agrees to furnish all such
assistance as the Purchaser may reasonably require in connection therewith.
SECTION 4.2. INSURANCE.
The Grantor will maintain or cause to be maintained at all
times insurance against loss or damage sufficient to cover all the Collateral
that are of an insurable nature to the same extent assets of a similar character
are usually so insured by companies similarly situated and owning like assets,
with insurers believed by the Grantor to be responsible and reputable. If an
Event of Default exists at the time any insurance proceeds relating to the
Collateral are received, all such proceeds shall be paid to the Purchaser for
application in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Assignment
Agreement and this Security Agreement.
SECTION 4.3. TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIENS.
The Grantor shall not:
7
11
(a) create or suffer to exist any Lien or other charge or
encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the
security interest created by this Security Agreement and except as otherwise
permitted by the Assignment Agreement.
(b) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or
otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except as otherwise permitted by the
Assignment Agreement; or
SECTION 4.4. FURTHER ASSURANCES.
The Grantor agrees that, from time to time at its own expense,
the Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments,
assignments, agreements and documents, and take all further action, that may be
reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Purchaser may reasonably request,
in order to perfect, preserve, and protect any security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby and the priority thereof or to enable the
Purchaser to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect
to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing the Grantor
will:
(a) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note
or other instrument or negotiable document, deliver and pledge to the Purchaser
hereunder such promissory note, instrument or negotiable document duly endorsed
and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser;
(b) execute and file such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, assignments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Purchaser may request, in
order to perfect and preserve the security interests and other rights granted or
purported to be granted to the Purchaser;
(c) furnish to the Purchaser, from time to time, statements
and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as the Purchaser may reasonably
request, and all in reasonable detail and in accordance with the terms of the
Assignment Agreement.
With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder,
the Grantor hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file one or more financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of
the Collateral without the signature of the Grantor where permitted by law. A
carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any
financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
SECTION 4.5. GENERAL COVENANTS.
Without limiting any of the foregoing covenants, the Grantor
agrees (a) not to use or permit any Collateral to be used unlawfully or in
material violation of any provision of the Assignment Agreement, this Security
Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any applicable statute, regulation
or ordinance or any policy of insurance covering the Collateral; and (b) to pay
promptly when due all taxes, assessments, charges, encumbrances and Liens now or
hereafter imposed upon or affecting any Collateral.

ARTICLE V
RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PURCHASER
SECTION 5.1. PURCHASER APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Purchaser as the
Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the
Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the
Purchaser's discretion when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
to take any appropriate action and to execute any instrument that the Purchaser
may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Security Agreement (but the Purchaser shall not be obligated to and shall have
no liability to the Grantor or any third party for failure so to do) including,
without limitation:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compromise,
receive, and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due
under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents, and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;
(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings that the Purchaser may deem necessary or desirable for the
collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the
Purchaser with respect to any of the Collateral;
(d) to perform the affirmative obligations of the Grantor
hereunder (including all obligations of the Grantor pursuant to Section 4.4);
(e) to execute and deliver for and on behalf of the Grantor
any and all instruments, documents, agreements, and other writings necessary or
advisable for the exercise on behalf of the Grantor of any rights, benefits or
options created or existing under or pursuant to the Collateral; and
(f) to execute endorsements, assignments, or other instruments
of conveyance and transfer.
The Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Section 5.1 is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.
SECTION 5.2. PURCHASER MAY PERFORM.
If the Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained
herein, the Purchaser may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, PROVIDED that the Purchaser shall in any event first have given the
Grantor written notice of its intent to do the same and the Grantor shall not
have, within 30 days of such notice (or such shorter period as the Purchaser may
reasonably determine is necessary in order to preserve the benefits of this
Security Agreement with respect to any material portion of the Collateral), paid
such claim or obtained to the Purchaser's satisfaction the release of the claim
or Lien to which such notice relates. The
9
13
Grantor agrees to reimburse the Purchaser upon demand for any costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, the
Purchaser incurs while acting as the Grantor's attorney-in-fact hereunder, all
of which costs and expenses are included in the Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 5.3. LIMITATIONS ON DUTIES OF PURCHASER.
The Purchaser shall be obligated to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Security Agreement, and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Security Agreement
against the Purchaser. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Purchaser shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Security
Agreement, and shall not be liable (except for its gross negligence or willful
misconduct) with respect to any action taken by it, or omitted to be taken by
it, in accordance with, and subject to the limitations contained in, the
Assignment Agreement.
SECTION 5.4. REASONABLE CARE.
It is understood and agreed between the parties hereto that
the Purchaser's duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping, and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession should be to deal with it in
the same manner as the Purchaser deals with similar property for its own
account; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Purchaser shall not be required to make any
presentment, demand, or protest, or give any notice, and need not take any
action to preserve any rights against any other Person with respect to the
Collateral.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1. CERTAIN REMEDIES.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing:
(a) The Purchaser may exercise in respect of the Collateral,
in addition to other rights available to it at law or in equity or otherwise,
all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether
or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may (i) require the
Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon
request of the Purchaser forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by the Purchaser and make it available to the Purchaser at a place to
be designated by the Purchaser that is reasonably convenient to both parties,
(ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Grantor under or in
connection with the Collateral, (iii) withdraw all monies, securities and other
property in the Pledged Deposit Accounts for application to the Obligations,
(iv) foreclose or otherwise enforce the Purchaser's security interest in any
manner permitted by law or provided for in this Security Agreement, (v) without
notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one
or more parcels at public or private sale, at any place or places for cash, on
credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Purchaser may
reasonably determine, (vi) recover from the Grantor all costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by
the Purchaser in exercising any right,
10
14
power, privilege or remedy provided by this Security Agreement or by law, (vii)
enter into property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof,
and (viii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, prepare it for
disposition in any manner and to the extent the Purchaser deems appropriate;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the
Purchaser may sell or otherwise dispose the Collateral or any portion thereof in
its then condition without any preparation or processing. The Grantor agrees
that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10)
days' prior notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or
the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. The Purchaser shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Purchaser may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time
and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at
the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Upon any sale or other
disposition pursuant to this Security Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral or
portion thereof and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral or portion
thereof so sold or disposed of. Each purchaser at any such sale or other
disposition (including the Purchaser) shall hold the Collateral free from any
claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of
the Grantor and the Grantor specifically waives (to the extent permitted by law)
all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any
rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.
(b) All cash proceeds received by the Purchaser in respect of
any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations. If any non-cash proceeds are
received in connection with any sale of Collateral, the Purchaser shall not
apply such non-cash proceeds to the Obligations unless and until such proceeds
are converted to cash; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such non-cash proceeds are not
expected on the date of receipt thereof to be converted to cash within one year
after such date, the Purchaser shall nonetheless use commercially reasonable
efforts to convert such non-cash proceeds to cash within such one-year period.
Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Purchaser after payment in
full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 7.1. AMENDMENTS.
No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Security
Agreement and no consent to any departure by the Grantor herefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Purchaser, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
11
15
SECTION 7.2. RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.
If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred, or
otherwise disposed of by the Grantor in a transaction not expressly prohibited
by the Assignment Agreement, then the Purchaser shall, at the Grantor's written
request, promptly execute and deliver to the Grantor (at the sole cost and
expense of the Grantor) such instruments or documents necessary and as the
Grantor shall reasonably request to release the Liens created hereby on such
Collateral, including any necessary UCC amendment, termination statement or
partial termination statement.
SECTION 7.3. NOTICES.
All notices and other communications shall be given as set
forth in Section 8.03 of the Assignment Agreement.
SECTION 7.4. WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.
(a) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the
part of the Purchaser, any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder, shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege.
(b) The Grantor waives any right to require the Purchaser to
proceed against any Person or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue any remedy
in such Purchaser's power.
(c) The rights, powers and remedies of the Purchaser under
this Security Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies
given to the Purchaser by virtue of any statute or rule of law, the Assignment
Agreement or any other agreement, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall
be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without
impairing the Purchaser's security interest in the Collateral.
SECTION 7.5. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Grantor may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Security Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Purchaser.
SECTION 7.6. COUNTERPARTS.
This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of
