WHEREAS, in order to secure all Obligations, Grantor has agreed to execute and deliver to Secured Party a security agreement in substantially the form hereof;

 

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

a)              To secure the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, Grantor hereby grants to Secured Party a first priority and exclusive Lien upon the collateral described in paragraph c) below (the “Collateral”).  As used herein, the term Lien” shall mean any security interest, mortgage, lien, encumbrance or adverse claim, and any financing statement or similar document filed in respect of same.

Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of Collateral or any income

 



 

from the Collateral, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any right pertaining to the Collateral, beyond the safe custody of Collateral in the possession of Secured Party.  Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights in any Collateral unless the waiver be in writing and no delay or omission by Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of that right or of any other right.

i)                 If Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes or tangible chattel paper constituting Collateral, Grantor shall, forthwith after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and upon Secured Party’s request before the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if Secured Party deems itself insecure, endorse, assign and deliver the same to Secured Party, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Secured Party may from time to time specify and with respect to any such Collateral in the possession or control of Secured Party, Grantor waives any restriction or obligation imposed on Secured Party by Sections 9-207(c)(1) and 9-207(c)(2) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Nevada from time to time (the “NVUCC”).

 

j)                 For each deposit account that Grantor at any time opens or maintains, Grantor shall, forthwith after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and at Secured Party’s request before the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if Secured Party deems itself insecure, either (i) cause the depositary bank to enter into a written agreement or other authenticated record with Secured Party, in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, pursuant to which such depositary bank shall agree, among other things, to comply at any time with instructions from Secured Party to such depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of Grantor, or (ii) arrange for Secured Party to become the customer of the depositary bank with respect to the deposit

k)              Grantor shall not, without Secured Party’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Collateral consisting of accounts, chattel paper, instruments or payment intangibles, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any obligor liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its good faith business judgment.

 

l)                 Grantor, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with respect to its properties and business against such casualties and contingencies as shall be in accordance with general practices of businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas.  Such insurance shall be in such minimum amounts that Grantor shall not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws, regulations and policies and otherwise shall be in such amounts, contain such terms, be in such forms and be for such periods as may be reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party.  Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor shall (i) keep all of its physical property insured with casualty or physical hazard insurance on an “all risks” basis, with broad form flood and earthquake coverages and electronic data processing coverage, with a full replacement cost endorsement and an “agreed amount” clause in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of such property; (ii) maintain all such workers’ compensation or similar insurance as may be required by law; and (iii) maintain, in amounts and with deductibles equal to those generally maintained by businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas, general public liability insurance against claims of bodily injury, death or property damage occurring, on, in or about the properties of Grantor; business interruption insurance; and product liability insurance.

7.               Expenses. Grantor agrees to pay to Secured Party on demand all expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Secured Party in protecting or enforcing its rights in the Collateral.

 



 

8.               Secured Party’s Obligations and Duties.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Grantor shall remain liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Grantor thereunder.  Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Grantor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to Secured Party or to which Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times.  Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the NVUCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.

10.         Appointment and Powers of Secured Party.

 

a)              Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any member, director, officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor or in Secured Party’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of Grantor, without notice to or assent by Grantor, to do the following:

 

i)                 upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, license, lease, otherwise dispose of, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the NVUCC and as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do at Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lien therein, in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do, including, without limitation:  (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto; and (ii) executing, delivering and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and

 

ii)              to the extent that Grantor’s authorization given in Section 1 above is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without Grantor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Security Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in Grantor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require Grantor’s signature.

 

b)             To the extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section.  This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

c)              The powers conferred on Secured Party, its members, directors, officers and agents pursuant to this Section are solely to protect Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any of them to exercise any such powers.  Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 



 

11.         Rights and Remedies of Secured Party.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

 

a)              Without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, declare this Security Agreement to be in default;

 

b)             Have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party with respect to the Collateral under the NVUCC or the UCC of any other jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Secured Party may, so far as Grantor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom.  Secured Party may in its discretion require Grantor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of Grantor’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 Grantor at least 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.  Grantor hereby acknowledges that 10 days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice.  In addition, Grantor 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 hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto. The provisions of Section 9-209 of the NVUCC shall not apply to any account, chattel paper or payment intangible as to which notification of assignment has been sent to the account debtor.

 

c)              Pursue any other rights or remedies available to Secured Party at law or in equity including recovery of all costs of collection incurred by Secured Party due to the Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses;

 

d)             Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral.  At the request of Secured Party, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the Lien of Secured Party in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to Secured Party, or to the Lock Box established pursuant to Section 11(e) below or to any other financial institution designated by Secured Party as Secured Party’s agent therefor, and Secured Party may itself, without notice to or demand upon Grantor, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral.  After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, Grantor shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Grantor as trustee for Secured Party without commingling the same with other funds of Grantor and shall turn the same over to Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments.  Secured Party may apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper,

 



 

general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Secured Party to the Obligations or hold such proceeds as additional Collateral, at the option of Secured Party. The provisions of Section 9-209 of the NVUCC shall not apply to any account, chattel paper or payment intangible as to which notification of assignment has been sent to the account debtor or other person obligation on the Collateral; and

 

e)              Lock Box.  Cause that all collections and proceeds of Collateral shall be made to a lock box and remitted in kind to Secured Party.  Grantor hereby confirms to Secured Party that a post office box (the “Lock Box”) under the sole dominion and control of Secured Party shall be established by Grantor and that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Bank”) or another bank selected by Secured Party shall have access to the items deposited in the Lock Box from time to time.  Grantor agrees and acknowledges that the Lock Box is for the purpose of receiving all checks and other forms of payment, amounts and cash from all account debtors and other persons and entities and third party payors and obligors of Grantor relating to the Collateral.  Grantor hereby confirms to Secured Party that upon the written request of Secured Party, a special, separate account number (the “Lock Box Account”) under the sole dominion and control of Secured Party will be established solely for the purpose of (i) depositing checks and all other forms of payment, amounts and cash received relating to the Collateral in the Lock Box, and (ii) receiving electronic fund transfers from the CBS Payors.  All fees, costs and expenses charged by Bank for the Lock Box and the Lock Box Account shall be in accordance with Bank’s customary practices and shall be payable by Grantor.  Secured Party shall not bear any responsibility for such amounts.

 

12.         Standards for Exercising Remedies.  To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or to postpone any such disposition pending any such preparation; (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove any Lien on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral; (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature; (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (i) to disclaim disposition warranties; (j) to purchase insurance or credit

 



 

enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (k) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would not be commercially unreasonable in Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section.  Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

 

13.         Waiver.  Grantor, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, for itself and for its successors, transferees, and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives diligence, presentment, and demand for payment, protest, notice, notice of protest and nonpayment, dishonor and notice of dishonor and all other demands or notices of any and every kind whatsoever in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Collateral and the benefit of all statutes, ordinances, judicial rulings, and other legal principles of any kind, now or hereafter enacted or in force, affording any right of redemption or cure or any right to a stay of execution or extension of time for payment or exempting any property of such person from levy and sale upon execution of any judgment obtained by Secured Party or any successor or assignee of Secured Party in respect of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Collateral. Grantor hereby agrees that this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Collateral, and any or all payments coming due hereunder may be extended from time to time in the sole discretion of Secured Party without in any way affecting or diminishing Grantor’s liabilities hereunder.

 

14.         Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Grantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Security Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by Secured Party and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the advance of all extensions of credit contemplated thereby, regardless of any investigation made by Secured Party, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Security Agreement shall terminate (or thereafter to the extent provided herein).

 

15.         Notices.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier) and, mailed, telecopied, cabled, couriered or delivered by hand to Grantor or to Secured Party, as the case may be, in each case addressed to it at its address set forth below the name of such party on the signature pages hereof, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party complying as to delivery with the terms of

b)             This Security Agreement may be executed in two or more separate counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

 

c)              The headings of each section of this Security Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof.

 

d)             The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.

 

e)              In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).

 

f)                No failure or delay of Secured Party in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder and of Secured Party under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that it would otherwise have.  No amendment of this Security Agreement, and no waiver of any provisions of this Security

 



 

Agreement or consent to any departure by Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective except pursuant to a writing entered into by Secured Party and Grantor, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on Grantor in any case shall entitle Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, intending to be legally bound, Grantor has caused this Security Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
