2. Relative Priorities.

 

2.1 Subject to paragraphs 6.4 and 6.5 below, any security interest or claim of Crestmark that may now or hereafter have in the Crestmark Priority Collateral shall at all times be prior to and senior to any security interest or claim of Inventory Lender that may now or hereafter be attached to the Crestmark Priority Collateral.

2.3 The priorities specified in this Agreement shall be applicable irrespective of whether there is any attachment of a security interest in favor of either Inventory Lender or Crestmark, the time or order of attachment or perfection of any security interest or the time or order of filing of any financing statements or other documents, or the giving of any notices of purchase money security interests or other notices, or possession of any Collateral, or any statutes, rules or law, or court decisions to the contrary.

5.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.4 below, Inventory Lender shall not collect, take possession of, foreclose upon, or exercise any other rights or remedies with respect to Crestmark Priority Collateral, judicially or non-judicially, or attempt to do any of the foregoing prior to Crestmark filing duly authorized (or authorizing the filing of) UCC termination statements terminating all UCC filings made by Crestmark against Debtor; provided that in the event (i) Crestmark has commenced a judicial proceeding or nonjudicial action to collect or enforce the Crestmark Documents, the Crestmark Obligations or the Crestmark Priority Collateral, or (ii) a case or proceeding by or against Debtor is commenced under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency law, then Inventory Lender, after first giving notice to Crestmark, may take such action in any such proceeding, action or case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above as it deems necessary in its good faith judgment to protect its interests in any such proceeding, action or case so long as any such action taken does not adversely affect Crestmark’s rights in the Crestmark Priority Collateral or interfere with Crestmark’s right to recover the Crestmark Priority Collateral.

 

5.3 Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.4 below, Crestmark shall not collect, take possession of, foreclose upon, or exercise any other rights or remedies with respect to Inventory Lender Priority Collateral, judicially or non-judicially, or attempt to do any of the foregoing prior to Inventory Lender filing duly authorized (or authorizing the filing of) UCC termination statements terminating all UCC filings made by Inventory Lender against Debtor; provided that in the event (i) Inventory Lender has commenced a judicial proceeding or nonjudicial action to collect or enforce the Inventory Loan Documents, the Inventory Lender Obligations or the Inventory Lender Priority Collateral, or (ii) a case or proceeding by or against Debtor is commenced under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency law, then Crestmark, after first giving notice to Inventory Lender, may take such action in any such proceeding, action or case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above as it deems necessary in its good faith judgment to protect its interests in any such proceeding, action or case so long as any such action taken does not adversely affect Inventory Lender’s rights in the Inventory Lender Priority Collateral or interfere with Inventory Lender’s right to recover the Inventory Lender Priority Collateral.

 

5.4 Each Secured Party agrees that all Accounts (including Accounts that are Inventory Lender Priority Collateral) shall be collected by Crestmark pursuant to Assignment Notice(s); provided, that, if for any reason Crestmark does not or elects not to send to or receive from an Account Debtor an Assignment Notice, Inventory Lender may, upon five business days prior written notice to Crestmark, send to or obtain from such Account Debtor an Assignment Notice and collect such Accounts from such Account Debtor. Accounts collected by Crestmark which are Inventory Lender Priority Collateral shall be immediately turned over to Inventory Lender by Crestmark and Accounts collected by Inventory Lender which are Crestmark Priority Collateral shall be immediately turned over to Crestmark by Inventory Lender.

5.5 Any proceeds of Inventory Lender Priority Collateral received by Inventory Lender after its Secured Obligations are paid in full and it has filed (or authorized the filing of) UCC termination statements with respect to all UCC filings made by it against Debtor, shall be turned over to Crestmark in the event that there are Secured Obligations owing to Crestmark. Any proceeds of Crestmark Priority Collateral received by Crestmark after its Secured Obligations are paid in full and it has filed (or authorized the filing of) UCC termination statements with respect to all UCC filings made by it against Debtor, shall be turned over to Inventory Lender in the event that there are Secured Obligations owing to Inventory Lender.

 

5.6 Either Secured Party may exercise its rights against the Shared Collateral after giving the other Secured Party prior written notice of its intention to exercise any such rights. The Secured Party receiving such notice will reasonably cooperate with the other Secured party in conducting a commercially reasonable disposition of the Shared Collateral, but such cooperating Secured Party shall not be required to incur any cost or expense in connection with such cooperation. Any proceeds of Shared Collateral shall be distributed to each Secured Party pro rata, based on the outstanding Secured Obligations owed to each Secured Party. In the event that either Secured Party collects proceeds of Shared Collateral, such party shall give the other Secured Party notice of the disposition of such Shared Collateral and the amount of proceeds collected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Crestmark agrees that in order to obtain maximum value for the Inventory, the Inventory may be packaged with the Shared Collateral to one buyer and the Crestmark and Inventory Lender shall determine the value placed upon Inventory and the value placed upon the Shared Collateral jointly.

 

5.7 From and after receipt by Crestmark from Inventory Lender of a copy of a notice of default sent by Inventory Lender in respect of its Secured Obligations or in connection with the Inventory Loan Documents, (a) Debtor irrevocably authorizes and directs Crestmark to remit to Inventory Lender, and Crestmark agrees to remit to Inventory Lender, any and all amounts from time to time that Crestmark would have in its discretion advance to the Debtor under the Crestmark Documents and (b) Crestmark agrees that it shall not make any payments to Debtor or for Debtor’s account under the Crestmark Documents. Crestmark is not under any obligation to make advances to the Debtor or making any representations that any such advances will be made.

Inventory Lender is not under any obligation to make advances to the Debtor or making any representations that any such advances will be made.

 

6. General Covenants.

 

6.1 This Agreement shall not be construed as a commitment or agreement by Inventory Lender or Crestmark to provide financing to Debtor or continue financing arrangements with Debtor. Inventory Lender or Crestmark may terminate such arrangements at any time with no obligation, monetary or otherwise, to the other except as provided for in this Agreement.

6.2 The Secured Party having a senior security interest or lien in the Collateral in accordance with the priorities established by the Agreement shall, subject to such Secured Party’s rights under its agreements with Debtor, have the sole and exclusive right to adjust and settle any insurance policy in the event of any loss affecting such Collateral. Each Secured Party shall notify the other, in writing, of any action(s) taken by such Secured Party in connection with the terms of this Section and keep the other apprised as to the status of such action(s). All proceeds of such policy shall be paid to the Secured Party having the senior claim as set forth in this Agreement. Subject to applicable law, after payment of such senior Secured Party’s claim and all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs, fees and expenses, any remaining proceeds shall be promptly remitted to the other Secured Party for application to the Secured Obligations owing to it.

 

6.3 Each Secured Party shall give to the other copies of any written notice of the occurrence or existence of an event of default sent to Debtor, simultaneously with the sending of such notice to Debtor, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity of such notice, nor shall it create any claim or right on behalf of the other party, the Debtor or any third party. The sending of such notice shall not give the recipient the obligation to cure such default or event of default. Pursuant to the UCC, each Secured Party hereby requests from the other Secured Party notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time on or after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made by the other Secured Party.

 

6.4 This Agreement shall constitute a continuing agreement of subordination, during which time (i) Crestmark may continue, without notice to Inventory Lender, to provide financial accommodations to or on behalf of Debtor and this Agreement shall continue until any and all obligations due Crestmark have been fully discharged and satisfied and an authorized representative of Crestmark has filed UCC termination statements terminating all UCC filings made by Crestmark on Debtor (which it will timely file after the Crestmark Obligations are paid in full in good funds); and (ii) Inventory Lender may continue, without notice to Crestmark, to provide financial accommodations to or on behalf of Debtor and this Agreement shall continue until any and all obligations due Inventory Lender have been fully discharged and satisfied and an authorized representative of Inventory Lender has filed UCC termination statements terminating all UCC filings made by Inventory Lender on Debtor (which it will timely file after the Inventory Lender Obligations are paid in full in good funds).

 

6.5 This Agreement shall remain in force and effect indefinitely until the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the term of the Crestmark Agreement, the full and indefeasible payment of the Crestmark Obligations and an authorized representative of Crestmark has filed UCC termination statements terminating all UCC filings made by Crestmark on Debtor or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Inventory Loan Agreement, the full and indefeasible repayment of the Inventory Lender Obligations and an authorized representative of Inventory Lender has filed UCC termination statements terminating all UCC filings made by Inventory Lender on Debtor. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

6.5.1 If, after repayment of Crestmark Obligations and termination of all UCC filings made by Crestmark on Debtor, Debtor thereafter becomes liable to Crestmark on account of the Crestmark Obligations, or any payment made on the Crestmark Obligations shall for any reason be required to be returned or refunded by Crestmark, this Agreement shall thereupon in all respects become effective with respect to such subsequent or reinstated Crestmark Obligations, without the necessity of any further act or agreement between Secured Parties.

 

6.5.2 If, after repayment of the Inventory Lender Obligations and termination of all UCC filings made by Inventory Lender on Debtor, Debtor thereafter becomes liable to Inventory Lender on account of the Inventory Lender Obligations, or any payment made on the Inventory Lender Obligations shall for any reason be required to be returned or refunded by Inventory Lender, this Agreement shall thereupon in all respects become effective with respect to such subsequent or reinstated Inventory Lender Obligations, without the necessity of any further act or agreement between Secured Parties.

6.6 The relationship between the Secured Parties is, and at all times shall remain solely that of creditors of Debtor. Secured Parties shall not under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of one another; nor shall the Secured Parties under any circumstances be deemed to be in a fiduciary relationship with one another or to owe any fiduciary duty to one another outside the duties expressly provided in this Agreement. Secured Parties do not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to one another to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform each other of any matter in connection with Debtor’s property, any Collateral held by any Secured Party or the operations of Debtor. Each Secured Party shall rely entirely on its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by any Secured Party in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of such Secured Party. Neither Secured Party shall commit or perform any act and/or omission that in any way intentionally, fraudulently or maliciously hinders, impedes, interferes with or otherwise adversely impacts or affects the other Secured Party’s priority interest in any Collateral.

 

6.7 This Agreement is intended to define the rights and duties of Inventory Lender and Crestmark; and it is not intended that any third party shall benefit from this Agreement.

 

7. Post-Termination Collections. Upon satisfaction of the Crestmark Obligations, Crestmark may in its sole discretion, at Inventory Lender’s request, continue to collect Accounts for the benefit of Inventory Lender. To the extent that Crestmark collects Accounts for the benefit of Inventory Lender, Crestmark shall be entitled to charge to Inventory Lender one percent (1%) of the amount collected plus all direct costs incurred by Crestmark from third parties associated with such collection. Crestmark shall submit invoices and other proof of incurring of all such direct costs. The reimbursement of direct costs shall not include any labor or services of Crestmark or any of its employees, agents, affiliates, officers, directors or shareholders. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Crestmark shall at no time be obligated to pursue collection efforts for or on behalf of Inventory Lender, and Crestmark’s sole duty insofar as the receipt of Inventory Lender Priority Collateral is to forward such Inventory Lender Priority Collateral to Inventory Lender.

 

8. Exchange of Information. Upon request and reasonable advance notice, Inventory Lender shall provide Crestmark with access to any information related to the Inventory Lender Obligations, including but not limited to, weekly borrowing base certificates and audits and financial statements. Similarly, upon request and reasonable advance notice Crestmark shall provide Inventory Lender with access to any information related to the Crestmark Obligations. Access for Inventory Lender and Crestmark shall include the right, at the expense of the party seeking the information, to obtain duplicates of such information.
