COLLATERAL
Section
5.1
Method of Realizing Upon the Pledged Property: Other
Remedies .
If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:
(a)
The
Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged Property,
in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for
herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform
Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code
applies to the affected Pledged Property), and also may (i)
take absolute control of the Pledged Property, including,
without limitation, transfer into the Secured Party's name or
into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the
Secured Party has not theretofore done so) and thereafter
receive, for the benefit of the Secured Party, 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
the Company to assemble all or part of the Pledged Property as
directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the
Secured Party at a place or places to be designated by the
Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties,
and the Secured Party may enter into and occupy any premises
owned or leased by the Company where the Pledged Property or
any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable
period in order to effectuate the Secured Party's rights and
remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to the
Company in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without
notice except as specified below and without any obligation to
prepare or process the Pledged Property for sale,
(A) sell the Pledged Property or any part thereof in one
or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the
Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or
for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such
other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially
reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the
Pledged Property or any part thereof upon such terms as the
Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. The Company
agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other
disposition of the Pledged Property shall be required by law,
at least ten (10) days' notice to the Company of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private
sale or other disposition of the Pledged Property is to be
made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured
Party shall not be obligated to make any sale or other
disposition of any Pledged Property regardless of notice of
sale having been given. The Secured Party 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. The Company hereby waives any claims against the
Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at
which the Pledged Property 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 the Secured Party accepts the first offer
received and does not offer such Pledged Property to more than
one offeree, and waives all rights that the Company may have
to require that all or any part of such Pledged Property be
marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. The
Company hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the
Pledged Property by the Secured Party may be made without
warranty, (ii) the Secured Party may specifically
disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment
or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth in
clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the
commercial reasonableness of any such sale of Pledged
Property.
(b)
Any
cash held by the Secured Party as Pledged Property and all
cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any
sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or
any part of the Pledged Property shall be applied (after
payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant
to Section 8.3 hereof) by the Secured Party against, all or
any part of the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party
shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Securities
Purchase Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds
held by the Secured Party and remaining after the indefeasible
payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations shall be
paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive
the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall
direct.
(c)
In
the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or
realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the
Secured Party is legally entitled, the Company shall be liable
for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the rate
specified in the Convertible Debentures for interest on
overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed
by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and
the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges
of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such
deficiency.
(d)
The
Company hereby acknowledges that if the Secured Party complies
with any applicable state, provincial, or federal law
requirements in connection with a disposition of the Pledged
Property, such compliance will not adversely affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of
the Pledged Property.
(e)
The
Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or
future collateral security (including, but not limited to,
this Agreement and the Pledged Property) for, or other
assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to
resort to such collateral security or other assurances of
payment in any particular order, and all of the Secured
Party's rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral
security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other rights, however existing or
arising. To the extent that the Company lawfully may, the
Company hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating
to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or
impede the enforcement of the Secured Party's rights under
this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or
evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the
Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations
is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to
the extent that it lawfully may, the Company hereby
irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
Section
5.2
Duties Regarding Pledged Property .
The
Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or
protection of the Pledged Property or any income thereon or as
to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond
the safe custody and reasonable care of any of the Pledged
Property actually in the Secured Party’s
possession.
