(b) Secured Party shall retain a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral until the date on which each and every one of the Secured Obligations has been fully and indefeasibly performed in accordance with the terms of the Note, including the indefeasible payment in full of the principal amount of the Note, and all interest accrued thereon (but excluding any indemnity obligation or other obligations which, by the terms of the Note, survive performance in full of the other obligations; provided, however, that none of such future indemnity obligations are then due and payable or reasonably likely to be due and payable in the foreseeable future (such obligations, the “Surviving Obligations”). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), Secured Party may exercise, in addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder, or in the Note or the Guaranty, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Collateral as in effect at the time or otherwise available by action or actions at law or in equity, including, without limitation:

 

- 2 -


 

(i) to sell, assign and effectively transfer the Collateral either at public or private sale, at the option of Secured Party, without recourse to judicial proceedings and without either demand, appraisement, advertisement or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived;

 

(ii) to proceed by way of appropriate judicial proceedings to have the Collateral sold at judicial sale, with or without appraisement;

 

(iii) to seek an injunction of the prohibited action;

 

(iv) make demand upon and receive from any or all Merchant Bank(s) all amounts in such Merchant Accounts, and all Merchant Banks may rely upon the authorization to release funds to Lender set forth herein and will be indemnified by Pledgors from any and all liability in connection with releasing funds to Lender; or

 

(v) to pursue any other available legal remedy; and, out of the Proceeds of the sale of the Collateral, Secured Party shall be entitled to receive, by preference and priority over all Persons whatsoever, the full remaining and unpaid balance of the Secured Obligations, together with all interest, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other charges;

 

provided, however, that Secured Party shall provide Pledgors with reasonable prior notice of a public or private sale of the Collateral as required by the Code, and Pledgors hereby agree and stipulate that such notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice in satisfaction of the requirements of the Code.

 

Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party and/or any nominee(s) or designee(s) thereof, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except for any notice required by law) to or upon Pledgors, or any other person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), pursuant to this Section 2 or otherwise in accordance with the Code upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may deem advisable and at such prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk irrespective of the impact of such sales on the market price of any Collateral. Secured Party and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) shall have the right upon any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any private sale or sales, to purchase the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgors, which right or equity each of the Pledgors hereby waives and/or releases. Secured Party shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale in accordance with this Pledge Agreement. Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgors, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may have at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or thereafter enacted. Each Pledgors agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least fifteen (15) days’ notice to Pledgors 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. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcing 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. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, each Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor further waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-112 of the Code. In connection with any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like, and such disclaimer shall not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale. If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral on credit, each Pledgor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of such purchaser. In the event a purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Pledgors shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

(c) In addition to the remedies described in Section 2(b) above, if any Event of Default shall occur and immediately upon the occurrence thereof and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing: (i) Secured Party and/or its nominees or designees shall have the right to receive any and all dividends, payments or distributions paid with respect to the Merchant Accounts and the other Collateral, as applicable, and make application thereof in accordance with this Pledge Agreement (and any dividends and other payments received in trust by Pledgors for the benefit of Secured Party shall be segregated from the other funds of Pledgors), and (ii) at Secured Party’s election, all Merchant Accounts shall be transferred to Secured Party and/or one (1) or more nominee(s) or designee(s) thereof, and Secured Party and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) may in the name of Pledgors or in Secured Party’s and/or such nominee’s(s’) or designee’s(s’) own name, collect all payments and assets due Pledgor pursuant to the Merchant Accounts. Further, unless and until Secured Party and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) succeeds to actual ownership thereof, pursuant to the exercise of Secured Party’s remedies described in Section 2(b) above, neither Secured Party nor any such nominee or designee shall be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability in connection with the Merchant Accounts. The rights of Secured Party hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Secured Party of any other right or remedy against Pledgors or any guarantor of any of the Secured Obligations, or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or against any other collateral security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. Neither Secured Party nor any of its nominees or designees shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall they be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgors or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

 

(d) Secured Party is hereby authorized to and shall apply the net proceeds of such sale of, or other realization upon, any or all of the Collateral, after first deducting the costs and expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees and the costs of Secured Party and Secured Party’s agents, to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as Secured Party shall elect, in its sole discretion, it being understood that this Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Secured Party shall retain all rights hereunder, until the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly satisfied in full, after deducting all such costs and expenses. If, after any sale of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 2 there shall be a balance remaining after the payment of all of the items described above, such balance shall be paid to Persons entitled by law to receive such balance to allocate among themselves, without any liability resulting therefrom on the part of Secured Party.

(e) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, at its election, and in addition to any other remedies available hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, no such duty being imposed hereby, pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which is prior or superior to its security interest in the Collateral and pay all expenses incurred therewith (any payment or expense so incurred shall be deemed Secured Obligations and shall be immediately due and payable and secured hereby), all of which shall be deemed authorized by Pledgors. All such expenses not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until the date repaid.

 

(f) All remedies of Secured Party hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to any other remedies provided for at law or in equity and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or in any way modify or be deemed to modify the terms of this Pledge Agreement or of the obligations secured hereby, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Secured Party of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right or remedy.  

 

3. Representations and Warranties of Pledgor.
