Secured Party may in its discretion require any Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of any Debtor’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as Secured Party may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Secured Party shall give to Debtors by an Authorized Representative at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Debtors hereby acknowledge and agree that ten (10) days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, each Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party’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.

Secured Party shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Debtor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Security Interest.

All capitalized terms within Exhibit A are defined terms used throughout this Agreement.

 

2. Purchase Money Security Interest. To the extent any portion of the Collateral is purchased from any Credit Party, Secured Party’s security interest shall be a purchase money security interest.

 

3. Obligations Secured. This Agreement, and the Collateral, secure the payment and performance in full of all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of any Debtor or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively with the Debtors, the “Obligors” ) to each of the Credit Parties, now existing and arising prior to the date hereof, including but not limited to amounts arising from the sale of goods and services prior to the date hereof by any Credit Party to any Obligor and all obligations arising under or in connection with that certain Secured Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith, made by Debtors in favor of Secured Party in the original principal amount of Twelve Million Four Hundred Ninety-Two Thousand One Hundred Thirty-Six and 51/100 Dollars ($12,492,136.51) (as amended or modified from time to time, the “ USD Note ”) and that certain Secured Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith, made by Debtors in favor of Secured Party in the original principal amount of Four Hundred Eighty-Three Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Three and 60/100 Canadian Dollars ($483,173.60) (as amended or modified from time to time, the “ CAD Note ” and, together with the USD Note, the “ Notes ”), and all costs and expenses of Secured Party in collecting any such obligations or enforcing its rights or remedies hereunder (collectively, the Obligations ).

 

     
 

 

4. Change of Name/Status and Notice of Changes. Without the prior written consent of the Secured Party’s Vice President, Worldwide Reseller Financial Services or Senior Vice President, Finance and Principal Accounting Officer (individually, “Authorized Representative”), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no Debtor shall change its name, change its corporate form, principal place of business or jurisdiction of organization, use any trade name, or engage in any business not reasonably related to its business as presently conducted. To the extent possible, each Debtor shall provide an advance notice of at least five (5) business days to Secured Party of (i) any material change in the Collateral, (ii) the intent to change any Debtor’s name, trade name, corporate form, principal place of business or jurisdiction of organization, (iii) a material change in any material matter warranted or represented by any Debtor in this Agreement, or in any other agreement, document or instrument furnished to Secured Party or any Credit Party pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, and (iv) the occurrence of an event of default described in Section 10 hereof.

Each Debtor will deliver such instruments of future assignment or assurance, and such other agreements, as Secured Party may from time to time request to carry out the intent of this Agreement, and will join with Secured Party in executing any documents in form satisfactory to Secured Party, and hereby authorizes Secured Party to sign for such Debtor, or to file without signature, any financing statements, amendments and other documents and instruments from time to time as Secured Party may deem advisable, and pay any cost of filing the same, including all recordation, transfer, indebtedness and other taxes and fees, deemed advisable by Secured Party.

Each Debtor shall maintain insurance on all Collateral against any loss damage in amounts which are commercially reasonable. All proceeds of such insurance shall be applied to reduce the Obligations secured hereunder.

Secured Party may in its discretion require any Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of any Debtor’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as Secured Party may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Secured Party shall give to Debtors by an Authorized Representative at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Debtors hereby acknowledge and agree that ten (10) days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, each Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party’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.

12. Remedies Cumulative . Secured Party shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Secured Party of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except to the extent that Secured Party and any applicable Credit Party have specifically and expressly waived such remedies in writing, the rights and remedies of Secured Party and the other Credit Parties hereunder and under any other agreement, contract, document or instrument, are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. Secured Party may resort to and realize on the Collateral simultaneously with any acts or proceedings initiated by Secured Party and the Credit Parties in their sole and conclusive discretion to resort to or realize upon any other sources of repayment of the Obligations, including, but not limited to, collateral granted by other security agreements and the liability of the Debtor.

All amounts expended by Secured Party and payable by any Debtor under this Section 13 shall be due upon demand therefor and shall be part of the Obligations. Each Debtor’s obligations under this Section 13 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of such Debtor’s other obligations under this Agreement.

 

14. Secured Party as Agent for the Credit Parties. Each Credit Party that makes any loans or extends trade credit or otherwise extends any credit to the Debtor shall be deemed to have extended such credit in reliance upon this Agreement and the grant of security hereunder, and further shall be deemed to have appointed Secured Party as its agent hereunder and authorizes Secured Party to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as may be necessary or appropriate as Secured Party may determine to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Secured Party hereby agrees to act as agent for each of the Credit Parties for all purposes hereunder.
