Section 8. Performance; No Amendment. Grantor will at all times observe and perform in all material respects its obligations under each Lease included in the Collateral.

 

Section 9. Further Assurances; Attorney-in-Fact.

 

9(a) Grantor agrees that from time to time, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or that Secured Party may reasonably request, to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor will, promptly and from time to time at the reasonable request of Secured Party: (i) mark, or permit Secured Party to mark, conspicuously in its books, records, and accounts showing or dealing with the Collateral, and each Lease included in the Collateral, with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, indicating that each such item of Collateral and each such Lease is subject to the Security Interest granted hereby; (ii) deliver to Secured Party the original counterparts of all Leases included in the Collateral; and (iii) authorize and file such financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices (including filings against Lessees), as may be necessary or desirable, or as Secured Party may request, in order to perfect, preserve, and enhance the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

 

9(b) Grantor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Grantor where permitted by law.

9(c) Grantor will furnish to Secured Party from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Secured Party may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party.

7 
 

 

Section 16. Lawful Use; Fair Labor Standards Act. Grantor will use and keep the Collateral, and will require that others use and keep the Collateral, only for lawful purposes, without violation of any federal, state or local law, statute or ordinance. All Inventory of Grantor as of the date of this Agreement that was produced by Grantor or with respect to which Grantor performed any manufacturing or assembly process was produced by Grantor (or such manufacturing or assembly process was conducted) in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and all Inventory produced, manufactured or assembled by Grantor after the date of this Agreement will be so produced, manufactured or assembled, as the case may be.

 

Section 17. Action by Secured Party. If Grantor at any time fails to perform or observe any of the foregoing agreements, Secured Party shall have (and Grantor hereby grants to Secured Party) the right, power and authority (but not the duty) to perform or observe such agreement on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Grantor (or, at Secured Party’s option, in Secured Party’s name) and to take any and all other actions which Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation, the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments); and Grantor shall thereupon pay to Secured Party on demand the amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Secured Party in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Secured Party, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred at the Non-Default Rate applicable to the Obligations, and all such monies expended, costs and expenses and interest thereon shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Security Interest.

 

Section 18. Insurance Claims. As additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, Grantor hereby assigns to Secured Party any and all monies (including proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of Grantor with respect to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any time hereafter covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining thereto. At any time, whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party may (but need not), in Secured Party’s name or Grantor’s name, execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive all such monies, indorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default exists, Grantor shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment or Inventory, provided that such proceeds are applied to the cost of replacement Equipment or Inventory.

 

Section 19. Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the safekeeping of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to the safekeeping which Secured Party accords its own property of like kind. Except for the safekeeping of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies and for other properties actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty, as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Persons or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party will take action in the nature of exchanges, conversions, redemptions, tenders and the like requested in writing by Grantor with respect to the Collateral in Secured Party’s possession if Secured Party in its reasonable judgment determines that such action will not impair the Security Interest or the value of the Collateral, but a failure of Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care with respect to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Persons or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

22(c) Any disposition of Collateral may be in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable. Secured Party shall not be obligated to dispose of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given, and Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement made at the time and place fixed therefor, and such disposition may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any rights and remedies available to Secured Party. All rights and remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly in any order or sequence, or concurrently, at Secured Party’s option, and the exercise or enforcement of any such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any other.
