(b) Warning. Unless Borrower provides Lender with evidence of the insurance coverage as required by this Agreement, Lender may purchase insurance at Borrower's expense to protect Lender’s interest. This insurance may, but need not, also protect Borrower's interest. If the Collateral becomes damaged, the coverage Lender purchases may not pay any claim Borrower makes or any claim made against Borrower. Borrower may later cancel this coverage by providing evidence that Borrower has obtained property coverage elsewhere. Borrower is responsible for the cost of any insurance purchased by Lender. The cost of this insurance may be added to Borrower’s Loan balance. If the cost is added to Borrower’s Loan balance, the interest rate on Loan will apply to this added amount. The effective date of coverage may be the date Borrower’s prior coverage lapsed or the date Borrower failed to provide proof of coverage. The coverage Lender purchases may be considerably more expensive than insurance Borrower can obtain on its own and may not satisfy any need for property damage coverage or any mandatory liability insurance requirements imposed by applicable law.

(iv) collect any Accounts from any Account Debtor;

 

(v) require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it immediately available to Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing with respect to that portion of the Collateral that is comprised of Patient Lists, Borrower shall make immediately available all Patient Lists to Lender;

 

(vi) sell all or any part of the Collateral at either a public or private sale or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Lender determines is commercially reasonable;

 

Loan and Security Agreement - Page 30
 

(vii) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, set off, and realize upon any and all Collateral;

 

(viii) without notice to Borrower (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting an acceptance of any Collateral in satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the UCC or any successor statute or law of similar effect), set off and apply to the Obligations any and all balances and deposits of Borrower held by Lender (including any amounts received in the Lockboxes), or indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Lender;

 

(ix) obtain the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or similar official over Borrower to manage all of Borrower’s affairs and to effect all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, realize upon the Collateral, or as is otherwise necessary to perform or enforce this Agreement;

 

(x) declare a default on any other contract or agreement between Borrower and Lender; and

 

(xi) exercise any or all rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents, at law and/or in equity including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is applicable). Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner or at any other reasonable time shall also constitute reasonable notice.

 

Section 10.3 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds from each sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral following an Event of Default shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations (with Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency) in any order which Lender may elect with the balance (if any) paid to Borrower or to whomsoever is entitled thereto.

 

Section 10.4 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes, and appoints Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender from time to time) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent in fact to act in the name of Borrower to effectuate any term in this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower’s power of attorney to Lender authorizes Lender to:

 

(a) demand payment of the Accounts, enforce payment thereof by legal proceedings or otherwise, settle, adjust, compromise, extend, or renew any or all of the Accounts or any legal proceedings brought to collect the Accounts, discharge and release the Accounts or any of them, and exercise all of Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of Accounts;

 

(b) prepare, file, and sign the name of Borrower on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or any similar document against any Account Debtor or any notice of Lien, assignment, or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with any of the Collateral;

 

(c) use the stationery of Borrower, open Borrower’s mail, notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrower’s mail to an address designated by Lender, and sign the name of Borrower to verifications of the Accounts and on any notice to the Account Debtors; and

 

(d) use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Accounts, inventory, or other Collateral.

Section 10.5 Additional Provisions Concerning Rights and Remedies.

 

(a) Time Essence. Time is of the essence of all of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(b) Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. In exercising such rights and remedies, Lender may be selective and no failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

 

(c) Waiver of Marshaling. Borrower hereby waives any right to require any marshaling of assets and any similar right.

 

Section 10.6 Trademark License. All trademarks, patents, copyrights, service marks and licenses owned by Borrower, and all trademarks, patents, copyrights, service marks, and software licensed by Borrower, are listed on Schedule 5.1. Borrower hereby grants to Lender the nonexclusive right and license to use all of Borrower’s trademarks, patents, copyrights, service marks, and licenses and any other trademarks, patents, copyrights, service marks, and licenses now or hereafter used by Borrower to realize on the Collateral and to permit any purchaser of any portion of the Collateral through a foreclosure sale or any other exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents to use, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral bearing any such trademarks, patents, copyrights, service marks, and licenses. Such right and license is granted free of charge, without the requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to Borrower or any other Person by Lender.

Any legal proceeding arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, any borrowing hereunder, or any other relationship between Lender and Borrower may be brought and litigated in any one of the state or federal courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon. Borrower and Lender waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, that any such proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue thereof is improper. Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Lender to bring proceedings against Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Any judicial proceeding by Borrower against the Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in a court in Portland, Oregon.

Section 11.5 Assignment; Participation. All the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or sell participations to one or more Persons in, all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under this Agreement and any promissory notes issued pursuant hereto and, in connection with any such assignment or sale of a participation, may assign its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.12 Severability of Provisions; Requirements of Law. The parties intend for this Agreement and all of the Loan Documents to comply with all Requirements of Law. However, in the event any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

What this means for Borrower: When Borrower opens an account, if Borrower is an individual, Lender will ask for Borrower’s name, residential address, date of birth, and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower, and if Borrower is not an individual, Lender will ask for Borrower’s name, employer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower. Lender may also ask, if Borrower is an individual, to see Borrower’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and if Borrower is not an individual, to see Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.
