Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 29, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), Inventergy Global, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (“TCA”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued $2.4 million in senior secured convertible redeemable debentures (the “Debentures”) to TCA. The Agreement also contemplates the sale of up to an additional $1.6 million principal amount of Debentures by the Company to TCA, based upon the performance of the Company. The unpaid principal amount of the Debentures bears cash interest equal to 17% per annum, with such interest payable monthly beginning on January 29, 2018. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Debentures), the cash interest rate will increase by an additional 7% per annum, subject to the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law.

 

Principal repayment of the Debentures will be made in 18 monthly payments beginning on July 28, 2018 (11 monthly payments of $100,000 and 7 monthly payments that increase up to $250,000). The Company may prepay the Debentures in whole or in part without penalty or premium. TCA may purchase up to additional $4,000,000 of Debentures, subject to the mutual agreement of the parties.

 

In addition, the Company issued to TCA a Fee Debenture (as defined in the Agreement) in the amount of $3,500,000. The Fee Debenture will bear interest at 8% per annum, with interest payable in cash on a monthly basis beginning on January 29, 2018. The principal amount of the Fee Debenture is to be repaid in 30 monthly installments beginning on July 28, 2018 (such principal installment amounts starting at $105,776 per month and increasing to $128,254 per month).

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, TCA may convert all or any portion of the outstanding amounts (the “Conversion Amount”) of the Debentures, the Fee Debenture or any other transaction documents, into the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) in an amount of shares equal to: (i) the Conversion Amount (the numerator); divided by (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the conversion date (the denominator), subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

 

The Company also agreed to pay TCA a Profit Sharing Advisory Fee (as defined in the Agreement) of $3,500,000. This fee is payable from future revenues to be received by the Company from INVT SPE LLC, which was established in April 2017 following the Company’s debt restructuring and the transfer of its patents to this special purpose entity, provided that the Profit Sharing Advisory Fee is due and payable in full 42 months following the Closing Date.

 

The Agreement contains customary events of default provisions, pursuant to which TCA may accelerate payment of the outstanding Debentures and the Fee Debenture.

  

As part of the transaction, the Company and TCA entered into a Security Agreement pursuant to which the Company granted TCA a first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including a security interest in the Company’s interests in INVT SPE LLC. The Company also entered into Pledge Agreements covering its ownership interest in its subsidiaries and Guarantee Agreements whereby certain subsidiaries of the Company guaranteed the performance and payment under the transaction documents.

 

After payment of all fees and expenses relating to the transaction, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $2.2 million, of which approximately $1.1 million was received by the Company on the Closing Date and of which an additional approximately $1.15 million has been deposited in escrow pending TCA’s receipt of certain additional information from the Company set forth in the Side Letter. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the transaction to repay its existing obligations, redeem up to 9% of its outstanding Series E preferred stock and for general working capital purposes.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement, the Debentures, the Fee Debenture, the Security Agreements, the Pledge Agreements, the Guarantee Agreement and the Side Letter are qualified in their entirety by reference to such document, which document or form thereof is filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

In this regard, upon Buyer’s request, the Company shall have an affirmative obligation to cause its counsel to promptly issue to the Transfer Agent a legal opinion providing that, based on the Rule 144 Certificate, the Securities Being Sold may be sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, even in the absence of an effective registration statement (the “Rule 144 Opinion”). If the Transfer Agent requires any additional documentation in connection with any proposed transfer (or re-issuance) by Buyer of any Securities Being Sold, the Company shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Transfer Agent or to any other Person, all such additional documentation as may be necessary to effectuate the transfer (or re issuance) of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any such Buyer or any transferee thereof, all at the Company’s expense. Any and all fees, charges or expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Buyer in connection with issuance of any such shares, or the removal of any restrictive legends thereon, or the transfer of any such shares to any assignee of Buyer, shall be paid by the Company, and if not paid by the Company, the Buyer may, but shall not be required to, pay any such fees, charges or expenses, and the amount thereof, together with interest thereon at the highest non-usurious rate permitted by law, from the date of outlay, until paid in full, shall be due and payable by the Company to Buyer immediately upon demand therefor, and all such amounts shall be additional Obligations of the company to Buyer secured under the Transaction Documents. In the event that the Company and/or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason to render the Rule 144 Opinion or any other documents, certificates or instructions required to effectuate the transfer (or re-issuance) of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any such Buyer or any transferee thereof, then: (A) to the extent the Securities Being Sold could be lawfully transferred (or re-issued) without restrictions under applicable laws, Company’s failure to promptly provide the Rule 144 Opinion or any other documents, certificates or instructions required to effectuate the transfer (or re-issuance) of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any such Buyer or any transferee thereof shall be an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents; and (B) the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to Buyer render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of effectuating the transfer (or re-issuance) of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any such Buyer or any transferee thereof, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company, transfer or re-issue any such Securities Being Sold as instructed by Buyer and its counsel.

(ii)      Removal of Restrictive Legends. In the event that Buyer has any shares of the Company’s Common Stock bearing any restrictive legends, and Buyer, through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Transfer Agent any such shares for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon, whether in connection with a sale of such shares pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, or otherwise, and the Company and or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason to render an opinion of counsel or any other documents or certificates required for the removal of the restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to Buyer render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as instructed by Buyer, and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified by Buyer, certificates, registered in the name of Buyer or its designees or nominees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which Buyer is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.

The authorization and power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as any obligations of the Company under Debentures remain outstanding, and so long as the Buyer owns or has the right to receive, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock hereunder or under any Transaction Documents. In this regard, the Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Buyer that it can NOT and will NOT give instructions, including stop orders or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement with regard to the matters contemplated herein, and that the Buyer shall have the absolute right to provide a copy of this Agreement to the Transfer Agent as evidence of the Company’s irrevocable authority for Buyer and Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of Buyer, as specifically contemplated herein, without any further instructions, orders or confirmations from the Company.

 

(iv)     Injunction and Specific Performance. The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provision of this Section 7.2(k), the Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically enforced.

Failure to pay such fee as and when required shall be deemed an Event of Default under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents. The foregoing notwithstanding, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default or any event which with notice, lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, Buyer may conduct site visits, field examinations and other ongoing reviews of the Company and the Corporate Guarantors’ records, Assets and operations at any time, in its sole discretion, without any limitations in terms of number of site visits or examinations and without being limited to the fee hereby contemplated, all at the sole expense of the Company.

If any provision in this Agreement requires judicial or similar interpretation, the judicial or other such body interpreting or construing such provision shall not apply the assumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against one party because of the rule that an instrument must be construed more strictly against the party which itself or through its agents prepared the same. The parties hereby agree that all parties and their agents have participated in the preparation hereof equally.

 

11.16     Compliance with Federal Law. The Company shall: (i) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls the Company is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the Department of the Treasury, included in any Executive Orders or any other similar lists from any Governmental Authority, foreign or national; (ii) not use or permit the use of the proceeds of the Debentures to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, or any other similar national or foreign governmental regulations; and (iii) comply with all applicable Lender Secrecy Act laws and regulations, as amended. As required by federal law and Buyer’s policies and practices, Buyer may need to obtain, verify and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts or establishing or continuing to provide services.

 

11.17      Termination. Upon payment in full of all outstanding Debentures purchased hereunder, together with all other charges, fees and costs due and payable under this Agreement or under any of the Transaction Documents, the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Buyer, provided, however, that if such termination occurs within the ninety (90) days after the First Closing Date, then the Company shall pay to Buyer as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available hereunder, an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of Debentures purchased hereunder. The parties agree that the amount payable to pursuant to this Section 11.17 is a reasonable calculation of Buyer’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early termination of this Agreement.

 

11.18     Gender and Use of Singular and Plural. All pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the party or parties or their personal representatives, successors and assigns may require.

 

11.19     Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall be deemed and considered one and the same Agreement, and same shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and each party has delivered its signed counterpart to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf’ format file or other similar format file, such signature shall be deemed an original for all purposes and shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf’ signature page was an original thereof.

 

42

 

 

11.20     Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Agreement.

 

11.21     Further Assurances. The Company and the Corporate Guarantors will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts and things as may be reasonably required by Buyer to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

 

11.22     No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

Dated as of:  December 29, 2017 Principal Amount: $4,000,000.00
Effective Date: December 29, 2017  
Maturity Date: December 29, 2019  

 

This SENIOR SECURED, CONVERTIBLE, REDEEMABLE DEBENTURE (the “Debenture”) is issued, dated and effective as of December 29, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by INVENTERGY GLOBAL, INC., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), to TCA GLOBAL CREDIT MASTER FUND, LP, a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Holder”) pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This Debenture is issued in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of even date hereof, by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”). All capitalized terms used in this Debenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

ARTICLE I

 

Section 1.01     Principal and Interest. For value received, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of the Holder, by no later than Decmber 29, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”), in immediately available and lawful money of the United States of America, Four Million and No/100 United States Dollars ($4,000,000.00), together with interest on the outstanding principal amount under this Debenture, at the rate of seventeen percent (17%) per annum simple interest (the “Interest Rate”) from the Effective Date, until paid, as more specifically provided below.

 

 

 

 

Section 1.02     Optional Redemption Prior to Maturity. The Company, at its option, shall have the right to redeem this Debenture in full and for cash, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, with three (3) business days advance written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Holder. The amount required to redeem this Debenture in full pursuant to this Section 1.02 shall be equal to: (i) the aggregate principal amount then outstanding under this Debenture; plus all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Debenture as of the redemption date; plus (ii) all other costs, fees and charges due and payable hereunder or under any other “Transaction Documents” (as hereinafter defined), including, but not limited to, any prepayment penalties provided for in the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Redemption Amount”). The Company shall deliver the Redemption Amount to the Holder on the third (3rd) business day after the date of the Redemption Notice.

 

Section 1.03      Mandatory Redemption at Maturity. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall redeem this Debenture for the Redemption Amount, which Redemption Amount shall be due and payable to the Holder by no later than 2:00 P.M., EST, on the Maturity Date.

 

Section 1.04      Payments.

 

(1)       Monthly Payments. The Company shall make monthly payments of principal and interest to the Holder, while this Debenture is outstanding, until the Maturity Date, based on the payment and amortization schedule attached hereto as Schedule A. In the event such day is not a Business Day, then said payment shall be due on the first Business Day thereafter occurring.

 

(2)       Interest Calculations; Payment Application. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall accrue daily on the outstanding principal amount outstanding from time to time for the actual number of days elapsed, commencing on the Effective Date until payment in full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts which may become due hereunder or under any Transaction Documents, has been made. All payments received and actually collected by Holder hereunder shall be applied first to any costs and expenses due or incurred hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents, second to accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, and last to reduce the outstanding principal balance of this Debenture.

 

(3)       Late Fee. If all or any portion of the payments of principal, interest or other charges due hereunder are not received by the Holder within five (5) days of the date such payment is due, then the Company shall pay to the Holder a late charge (in addition to any other remedies that Holder may have) equal to five percent (5%) of each such unpaid payment or sum. Any payments returned to Holder for any reason must be covered by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Holder, plus a $100.00 administrative fee charge. Holder shall have no responsibility or liability for payments purportedly made hereunder but not actually received by Holder; and the Company shall not be discharged from the obligation to make such payments due to loss of same in the mails or due to any other excuse or justification ultimately involving facts where such payments were not actually received by Holder.

 

Section 1.05.    Manner of Payments. All sums payable to the order of Holder hereunder shall be payable by ACH transfer of lawful dollars of the United States of America to the ACH instructions set forth below, or at such place as Holder, from time to time, may designate in writing.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture is also secured by all of the assets and property of the Credit Parties and various other instruments and documents referred to in the Purchase Agreement as the “Transaction Documents”. All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions, representations, warranties and stipulations contained in any of the Transaction Documents which are to be kept and performed by the Credit Parties are hereby made a part of this Debenture to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein, and the Company covenants and agrees to keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept or performed, strictly in accordance with their terms.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Section 3.01      Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder: (i) the Company shall fail to pay any interest, principal or other charges due under this Debenture or any other Transaction Documents within three (3) days following the date when any such payment shall be due and payable; (ii) the Company makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) any order or decree is rendered by a court which appoints or requires the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee for the Company, and the order or decree is not vacated within thirty (30) days from the date of entry thereof; (iv) any order or decree is rendered by a court adjudicating the Company insolvent, and the order or decree is not vacated within thirty (30) days from the date of entry thereof; (v) the Company files a petition in bankruptcy under the provisions of any bankruptcy law or any insolvency act; (vi) the Company admits, in writing, its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (vii) a proceeding or petition in bankruptcy is filed against the Company and such proceeding or petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date it is filed; (viii) the Company files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the bankruptcy laws or any law or statute of the United States or any other foreign country or state; (ix) any written warranty, representation, certificate or statement of the Company and/or Guarantors in this Debenture, the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement with Holder shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made; and (x) the Company shall fail to perform, comply with or abide by any of the material stipulations, agreements, conditions and/or covenants contained in this Debenture, the Purchase Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Company to be performed complied with or abided by, and such failure continues or remains uncured for ten (10) Business Days following written notice from the Holder to the Company.

 

 

 

 

Section 3.02      Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is not timely cured within an applicable cure period hereunder (or, as to clause (ix) thereunder, on the tenth (10th) Trading Day following notice from the Holder if the Company is unable to provide an explanation satisfactory to the Holder), the interest on this Debenture shall immediately accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of (i) twenty-four percent (24%) per annum or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowable by law, and, in addition to all other rights or remedies the Holder may have, at law or in equity, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, accelerate full repayment of all principal amounts outstanding hereunder, together with accrued interest thereon, together with all attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees and costs and expenses incurred by the Holder in collecting or enforcing payment hereof (whether such fees, costs or expenses are incurred in negotiations, all trial and appellate levels, administrative proceedings, bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise), and together with all other sums due by the Company hereunder and under the Transaction Documents, all without any relief whatsoever from any valuation or appraisement laws, and payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to the Holder at law, in equity, or under this Debenture or any of the other Transaction Documents. In connection with the Holder’s rights hereunder upon an Event of Default, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it in equity or under applicable law.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

Section 4.01     Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provision in this Debenture or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Debenture or any other applicable law. In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Debenture, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance due hereunder immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of the principal balance then outstanding, and the Holder hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest, rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance then outstanding. It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend or expect to pay, nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Debenture greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest which may be charged under applicable law.

 

ARTICLE V

 

Section 5.01     No Exemption. The Company hereby waives and releases all benefit that might accrue to the Company by virtue of any present or future laws exempting any property that may serve as security for this Debenture, or any other property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy, or sale under execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and the Company agrees that any property that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued thereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order or manner desired by Holder.

 

 

 

 

Section 5.02     Exercise of Remedies. The remedies of the Holder as provided herein and in any of the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of the Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.

 

Section 5.03     Waivers. The Company and all others who are, or may become liable for the payment hereof: (i) severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Debenture or any other Transaction Documents, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents, except as specifically provided in this Debenture or any other Transaction Document; (ii) expressly consent to all extensions of time, renewals or postponements of time of payment of this Debenture and any other Transaction Documents from time to time prior to or after the maturity of this Debenture without notice, consent or further consideration to any of the foregoing; (iii) expressly agree that the Holder shall not be required first to institute any suit, or to exhaust its remedies against the Company or any other person or party to become liable hereunder or against any collateral that may secure this Debenture in order to enforce the payment of this Debenture; and (iv) expressly agree that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing (except the express written release by the Holder of any such person), the undersigned shall be and remain, directly and primarily liable for all sums due under this Debenture.

 

Section 5.04      No Waiver. Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing. A waiver on one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy to a subsequent event.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

Section 6.01     Notice. Any notices, consents, waivers, or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Debenture must be in writing and in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same in accordance with the information below, and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) if mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the address below, then three (3) business days after deposit of same in a regularly maintained U.S. Mail receptacle; or (ii) if mailed by Federal Express, UPS or other nationally recognized overnight courier service, next business morning delivery, then one (1) business day after deposit of same in a regularly maintained receptacle of such overnight courier; or (iii) if hand delivered, then upon hand delivery thereof to the address indicated on or prior to 5:00 p.m ., EST, on a business day.

Holder may in its discretion give notice to the Company of such sale, assignment or participation; however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect any of Holder’s or such holder’s rights hereunder.

 

Section 6.07     Lost or Mutilated Debenture. If this Debenture shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Debenture or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture a new Debenture for the principal amount of this Debenture so mutilated, lost stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Debenture, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

ARTICLE VII

 

Section 7.01      Conversion of Debenture. At any time while this Debenture is outstanding on or after the Closing Date, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default at the sole option of the Holder or if mutually agreed upon by the parties, this Debenture may be, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII.

 

(1)       Voluntary Conversion. At any time while this Debenture is outstanding on or after the Closing Date, at the sole option of the Holder upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or if mutually agreed upon by the parties, the Holder may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other sums due and payable hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents (such total amount, the “Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) in an amount of shares equal to: (i) the Conversion Amount (the numerator); divided by (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the lowest of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date (as defined below), as indicated in the conversion notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” the “Conversion Notice”) (the denominator) (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder shall submit a Conversion Notice indicating the amount of the Debenture being converted and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion, and where the Conversion Shares should be delivered.

 

(2)       The Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not affect any conversion of this Debenture, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the Conversion Notice submitted by the Holder, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates (as defined herein) and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined herein). To ensure compliance with this restriction, prior to delivery of any Conversion Notice, the Holder shall have the right to request that the Company provide to the Holder a written statement of the percentage ownership of the Company’s Common Stock that would by beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates in the Company if the Holder converted such portion of this Debenture then intended to be converted by Holder. The Company shall, within three (3) business days of such request, provide Holder with the requested information in a written statement, and the Holder shall be entitled to rely on such written statement from the Company in issuing its Conversion Notice and ensuring that its ownership of the Company’s Common Stock is not in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The restriction described in this Section may be waived by Holder, in whole or in part, upon notice from the Holder to the Company. For purposes of this Debenture, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture. The limitations contained in this Section shall apply to any successor holder of this Debenture. For purposes of this Debenture, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization or a government or any department or agency thereof.

 

 

 

 

(3)       Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of this Debenture shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(a)       Holder’s Delivery Requirements. To convert this Debenture into shares of Common Stock on any date set forth in the Conversion Notice by the Holder (the “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Conversion Notice to the Company (or, under certain circumstances as set forth below, by delivery of the Conversion Notice to the Company’s transfer agent).

 

(b)       Company’s Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Conversion Notice, send, via facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver) a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Confirmation”) to the Holder indicating that the Company will process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. In the event the Company fails to issue its Conversion Confirmation within said three (3) Business Day time period, the Holder shall have the absolute and irrevocable right and authority to deliver the fully executed Conversion Notice to the Company’s transfer agent, and pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s transfer agent shall issue the applicable Conversion Shares to Holder as hereby provided. Within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Conversion Confirmation (or the date of the Conversion Notice, if the Company fails to issue the Conversion Confirmation), provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, the Company shall cause the transfer agent to (or, if for any reason the Company fails to instruct or cause its transfer agent to so act, then pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Holder may request and require the Company’s transfer agent to) electronically transmit the applicable Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system, and provide proof satisfactory to the Holder of such delivery. In the event that the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC FAST program and is not otherwise DWAC eligible (or in the event the Holder otherwise requests), within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Conversion Confirmation (or the date of the Conversion Notice, if the Company fails to issue the Conversion Confirmation), the Company shall instruct and cause its transfer agent to (or, if for any reason the Company fails to instruct or cause its transfer agent to so act, then pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Holder may request and require the Company’s transfer agent to) issue and surrender to a nationally recognized overnight courier for delivery to the address specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its nominee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and other sums due hereunder, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable Conversion Amount. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

 

 

 

(c)       Record Holder. The Person(s) entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock as of the Conversion Date.

 

(d)       Failure to Deliver Certificates. If in the case of any Conversion Notice, the certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the date required hereby, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion Notice, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates representing the principal amount of this Debenture unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Company.

 

(e)       Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or entity or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person or entity of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person or entity, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder . In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof and accrued but unpaid interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this Debenture, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture being converted, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates representing Conversion Shares pursuant to timing and delivery requirements of this Debenture, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $1.00 per day for each day after the date by which such certificates should have been delivered until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to this Debenture or any agreement securing the indebtedness under this Debenture for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law. Nothing herein shall prevent the Holder from having the Conversion Shares issued directly by the Company’s transfer agent in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, in the event for any reason the Company fails to issue or deliver, or cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver, the Conversion Shares to the Holder upon exercise of Holder’s conversion rights hereunder.

 

 

 

 

(f)       Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes, or any other issuance or transfer fees of any nature or kind that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, any such taxes or fees, if payable, to be paid by the Company.

 

(4)       Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, three (3) times such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the full conversion of the Debenture in accordance with its terms (the “Share Reserve”). If upon receipt of a conversion notice from the Holder, the Share Reserve is insufficient to effect the full conversion of the Debenture then outstanding, the Company shall increase the Share Reserve accordingly. If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall cause its authorized and unissued shares to be increased within ninety (90) days to an amount of shares equal to three (3) times the Conversion Shares. The Company’s management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized.

 

(5)       Make-Whole Rights. Upon liquidation by the Holder of Conversion Shares issued pursuant to a Conversion Notice, provided that the Holder realizes a net amount from such liquidation equal to less than the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice (such net realized amount, the “Realized Amount”), the Company shall issue to the Holder additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to: (i) the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice; minus (ii) the Realized Amount, as evidenced by a reconciliation statement from the Holder (a “Sale Reconciliation”) showing the Realized Amount from the sale of the Conversion Shares; divided by (iii) the average volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the date upon which the Holder delivers notice (the “Make-Whole Notice”) to the Company that such additional shares are requested by the Holder (the “Make-Whole Stock Price”) (such number of additional shares to be issued, the “Make-Whole Shares”). Upon receiving the Make-Whole Notice and Sale Reconciliation evidencing the number of Make-Whole Shares requested, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates representing the Make-Whole Shares, which Make-Whole Shares shall be issued and delivered in the same manner and within the same time frames as set forth herein. The Make-Whole Shares, when issued, shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Following the sale of the Make-Whole Shares by the Holder: (i) in the event that the Holder receives net proceeds from such sale which, when added to the Realized Amount from the prior relevant Conversion Notice, is less than the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice, the Holder shall deliver an additional Make-Whole Notice to the Company following the procedures provided previously in this paragraph, and such procedures and the delivery of Make-Whole Notices and issuance of Make-Whole Shares shall continue until the Conversion Amount has been fully satisfied; and (ii) in the event that the Holder received net proceeds from the sale of Make-Whole Shares in excess of the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice, such excess amount shall be applied to satisfy any and all amounts owed hereunder in excess of the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice.

 

 

 

 

(6)       Adjustments to Conversion Price.

 

(a)       Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, or re-classification.

 

(b)       Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such note into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

 

 

 

(c)       Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Debenture, the Company shall promptly deliver to Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(d)       Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Company’s records, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

Section 3.02     Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is not timely cured within an applicable cure period hereunder (or, as to clause (ix) thereunder, on the tenth (10th) Trading Day following notice from the Holder if the Company is unable to provide an explanation satisfactory to the Holder), the interest on this Debenture shall immediately accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of (i) twenty-four percent (24%) per annum or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowable by law, and, in addition to all other rights or remedies the Holder may have, at law or in equity, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, accelerate full repayment of all principal amounts outstanding hereunder, together with accrued interest thereon, together with all attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees and costs and expenses incurred by the Holder in collecting or enforcing payment hereof (whether such fees, costs or expenses are incurred in negotiations, all trial and appellate levels, administrative proceedings, bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise), and together with all other sums due by the Company hereunder and under the Transaction Documents, all without any relief whatsoever from any valuation or appraisement laws, and payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to the Holder at law, in equity, or under this Debenture or any of the other Transaction Documents. In connection with the Holder’s rights hereunder upon an Event of Default, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it in equity or under applicable law.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

Section 4.01     Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provision in this Debenture or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Debenture or any other applicable law. In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Debenture, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance due hereunder immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of the principal balance then outstanding, and the Holder hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest, rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance then outstanding. It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend or expect to pay, nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Debenture greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest which may be charged under applicable law.

Section 5.04      No Waiver. Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing. A waiver on one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy to a subsequent event.

ARTICLE VII

 

Section 7.01     Conversion of Debenture. At any time and from time to time while this Debenture is outstanding on or after the Closing Date, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default at the sole option of the Holder, this Debenture may be, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII.

 

 7 

 

 

(1)       Voluntary Conversion. At any time while this Debenture is outstanding on or after the Closing Date, at the sole option of the Holder upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other sums due and payable hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents (such total amount, the “Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) in an amount of shares equal to: (i) the Conversion Amount (the numerator); divided by (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the lowest of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date (as defined below), as indicated in the conversion notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” the “Conversion Notice”) (the denominator) (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder shall submit a Conversion Notice indicating the amount of the Debenture being converted and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion, and where the Conversion Shares should be delivered.

 

(2)       The Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not affect any conversion of this Debenture, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the Conversion Notice submitted by the Holder, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates (as defined herein) and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined herein). To ensure compliance with this restriction, prior to delivery of any Conversion Notice, the Holder shall have the right to request that the Company provide to the Holder a written statement of the percentage ownership of the Company’s Common Stock that would by beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates in the Company if the Holder converted such portion of this Debenture then intended to be converted by Holder. The Company shall, within three (3) business days of such request, provide Holder with the requested information in a written statement, and the Holder shall be entitled to rely on such written statement from the Company in issuing its Conversion Notice and ensuring that its ownership of the Company’s Common Stock is not in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The restriction described in this Section may be waived by Holder, in whole or in part, upon notice from the Holder to the Company. For purposes of this Debenture, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture. The limitations contained in this Section shall apply to any successor holder of this Debenture. For purposes of this Debenture, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization or a government or any department or agency thereof.

 

(3)      Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of this Debenture shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(a)       Holder’s Delivery Requirements. To convert this Debenture into shares of Common Stock on any date set forth in the Conversion Notice by the Holder (the “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Conversion Notice to the Company (or, under certain circumstances as set forth below, by delivery of the Conversion Notice to the Company’s transfer agent).

 

 8 

 

 

(b)       Company’s Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Conversion Notice, send, via facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver) a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Confirmation”) to the Holder indicating that the Company will process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. In the event the Company fails to issue its Conversion Confirmation within said three (3) Business Day time period, the Holder shall have the absolute and irrevocable right and authority to deliver the fully executed Conversion Notice to the Company’s transfer agent, and pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s transfer agent shall issue the applicable Conversion Shares to Holder as hereby provided. Within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Conversion Confirmation (or the date of the Conversion Notice, if the Company fails to issue the Conversion Confirmation), provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, the Company shall cause the transfer agent to (or, if for any reason the Company fails to instruct or cause its transfer agent to so act, then pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Holder may request and require the Company’s transfer agent to) electronically transmit the applicable Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system, and provide proof satisfactory to the Holder of such delivery. In the event that the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC FAST program and is not otherwise DWAC eligible (or in the event the Holder otherwise requests), within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Conversion Confirmation (or the date of the Conversion Notice, if the Company fails to issue the Conversion Confirmation), the Company shall instruct and cause its transfer agent to (or, if for any reason the Company fails to instruct or cause its transfer agent to so act, then pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Holder may request and require the Company’s transfer agent to) issue and surrender to a nationally recognized overnight courier for delivery to the address specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its nominee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and other sums due hereunder, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable Conversion Amount. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(c)       Record Holder. The Person(s) entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock as of the Conversion Date.

 

(d)       Failure to Deliver Certificates. If in the case of any Conversion Notice, the certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the date required hereby, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion Notice, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates representing the principal amount of this Debenture unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Company.

(e)       Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or entity or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person or entity of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person or entity, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder . In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof and accrued but unpaid interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this Debenture, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture being converted, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates representing Conversion Shares pursuant to timing and delivery requirements of this Debenture, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $1.00 per day for each day after the date by which such certificates should have been delivered until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to this Debenture or any agreement securing the indebtedness under this Debenture for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law. Nothing herein shall prevent the Holder from having the Conversion Shares issued directly by the Company’s transfer agent in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, in the event for any reason the Company fails to issue or deliver, or cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver, the Conversion Shares to the Holder upon exercise of Holder’s conversion rights hereunder.

 

(f)       Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes, or any other issuance or transfer fees of any nature or kind that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, any such taxes or fees, if payable, to be paid by the Company.

(4)       Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, three (3) times such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the full conversion of the Debenture in accordance with its terms (the “Share Reserve”).  If upon receipt of a conversion notice from the Holder, the Share Reserve is insufficient to effect the full conversion of the Debenture then outstanding, the Company shall increase the Share Reserve accordingly.  If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall cause its authorized and unissued shares to be increased within forty-five (45) days to an amount of shares equal to two (2) times the Conversion Shares. The Company’s management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized.

 

(5)       Make-Whole Rights. Upon liquidation by the Holder of Conversion Shares issued pursuant to a Conversion Notice, provided that the Holder realizes a net amount from such liquidation equal to less than the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice (such net realized amount, the “Realized Amount”), the Company shall issue to the Holder additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to: (i) the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice; minus (ii) the Realized Amount, as evidenced by a reconciliation statement from the Holder (a “Sale Reconciliation”) showing the Realized Amount from the sale of the Conversion Shares; divided by (iii) the average volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the date upon which the Holder delivers notice (the “Make-Whole Notice”) to the Company that such additional shares are requested by the Holder (the “Make-Whole Stock Price”) (such number of additional shares to be issued, the “Make-Whole Shares”). Upon receiving the Make-Whole Notice and Sale Reconciliation evidencing the number of Make-Whole Shares requested, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates representing the Make-Whole Shares, which Make-Whole Shares shall be issued and delivered in the same manner and within the same time frames as set forth herein. The Make-Whole Shares, when issued, shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Following the sale of the Make-Whole Shares by the Holder: (i) in the event that the Holder receives net proceeds from such sale which, when added to the Realized Amount from the prior relevant Conversion Notice, is less than the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice, the Holder shall deliver an additional Make-Whole Notice to the Company following the procedures provided previously in this paragraph, and such procedures and the delivery of Make-Whole Notices and issuance of Make-Whole Shares shall continue until the Conversion Amount has been fully satisfied; and (ii) in the event that the Holder received net proceeds from the sale of Make-Whole Shares in excess of the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice, such excess amount shall be applied to satisfy any and all amounts owed hereunder in excess of the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice.

 

(6)       Adjustments to Conversion Price.

 

 11 

 

 

(a)       Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, or re-classification.

 

(b)       Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such note into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

 12 

 

 

(c)       Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Debenture, the Company shall promptly deliver to Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(d)       Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Company’s records, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred prior to such deposit of the net proceeds, then Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, apply such net proceeds either toward replacing or restoring the Collateral, in a manner and on terms satisfactory to Secured Party, or as a credit against such of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as Secured Party shall determine in Secured Party’s sole discretion.

If Secured Party actually receives any notices requiring action with respect to Collateral in Secured Party’s possession, Secured Party shall take reasonable steps to forward such notices to the Company. The Company is responsible for responding to notices concerning the Collateral, voting the Collateral, and exercising rights and options, calls and conversions of the Collateral. Secured Party’s sole responsibility is to take such action as is reasonably requested by Company in writing, however, Secured Party is not responsible to take any action that, in Secured Party’s sole judgment, would affect the value of the Collateral as security for the Obligations adversely. While Secured Party is not required to take certain actions, if action is needed, in Secured Party’s sole discretion, to preserve and maintain the Collateral, Company authorizes Secured Party to take such actions, but Secured Party is not obligated to do so.

Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar insolvency or bankruptcy laws of any jurisdiction , or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Company waives all right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other Person or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to pursue any other remedy.

The Company shall pay to Secured Party upon demand all such advances made by Secured Party with interest thereon at the highest rate set forth in the Debenture, or if none is so stated, the highest rate allowed by law.

WHEREAS, in order to secure the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Pledgor’s Obligations to the Secured Party, or any successor to the Secured Party, under the Purchase Agreement and all other Transaction Documents, Pledgor has agreed to irrevocably pledge to the Secured Party the Pledged Securities;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, warranties, and representations herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            Recitals, Construction and Defined Terms. The recitations set forth in the preamble of this Agreement are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference. In this Agreement, unless the express context otherwise requires: (i) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (ii) references to the words “Section” or “Subsection” refer to the respective Sections and Subsections of this Agreement, and references to “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refer to the respective Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto; and (iii) wherever the word “include,” “includes,” “including” or words of similar import are used in this Agreement, such words will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” All capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement, unless the context of this Agreement requires otherwise (provided that if a capitalized term used herein is defined in the Purchase Agreement and separately defined in this Agreement, the meaning of such term as defined in this Agreement shall control for purposes of this Agreement).

 

2.            Pledge. In order to secure the full and timely payment and performance of all of the Pledgor’s Obligations to the Secured Party under the Transaction Documents, the Pledgor hereby transfers, pledges, assigns, sets over, delivers and grants to the Secured Party a continuing lien and security interest in and to all of the following property of Pledgor, both now owned and existing and hereafter created, acquired and arising (all being collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral”) and all right, title and interest of Pledgor in and to the Collateral, to-wit:

 

 

 

 

(a)           the Pledged Securities owned by Pledgor;

 

(b)           any certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Securities, if any;

 

(c)           any and all distributions thereon, and cash and non-cash proceeds and products thereof, including all dividends, cash, distributions, income, profits, instruments, securities, stock dividends, distributions of capital stock or other securities of the Company and all other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon conversion of the Pledged Securities, whether in connection with stock splits, recapitalizations, merger, conversions, combinations, reclassifications, exchanges of securities or otherwise; and

 

(d)           any and all voting, management, and other rights, powers and privileges accruing or incidental to an owner of the Pledged Securities and the other property referred to in subsections 2(a) through 2(c) above.

 

3.            Transfer of Pledged Securities. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Pledgor shall deliver to the Escrow Agent: (i) if the Pledged Securities are evidenced by physical certificates, then all original certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Securities, together with undated, irrevocable and duly executed assignments or stock powers thereof in form and substance acceptable to Secured Party (together with medallion guaranteed signatures, if required by Secured Party), executed in blank by Pledgor; (ii) if the Pledged Securities are not represented by physical certificates, then undated, irrevocable and duly executed assignment instruments in form and substance acceptable to Secured Party, executed in blank by Pledgor; and (iii) all other property, instruments, documents and papers comprising, representing or evidencing the Collateral, or any part thereof, together with proper instruments of assignment or endorsement, as Secured Party may request or require, duly executed by Pledgor (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”).

In addition, all non-cash dividends, dividends paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution of the Company, instruments, securities and any other distributions, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise, made on or in respect of the Pledged Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination, or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock or other securities of the Company, or received in exchange for the Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other exchange of assets to which the Company may be a party or otherwise, or any other property that constitutes part of the Collateral from time to time, including any additional certificates representing any portion of the Collateral hereafter acquired by the Pledgor, shall be immediately delivered or cause to be delivered by Pledgor to the Escrow Agent in the same form as so received, together with proper instruments of assignment or endorsement duly executed by Pledgor.

4.            Security Interest Only. The security interests in the Collateral granted to Secured Party hereunder are granted as security only and shall not subject the Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of the Pledgor with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith.

 

5.            Record Owner of Collateral. Until an “Event of Default” (as hereinafter defined) under this Agreement shall occur, the Pledged Securities shall remain registered in the name of the Pledgor. Pledgor will promptly give to the Secured Party copies of any notices or other communications received by it and with respect to Collateral registered in the name of Pledgor.

 

6.            Rights Related to Pledged Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, unless and until an Event of Default under this Agreement shall occur:

 

(a)            Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting, management, and other rights, powers and privileges accruing to an owner of the Pledged Securities, or any part thereof, for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, such action would not materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to Secured Party under any of the Transaction Documents, or adversely affect the remedies of the Secured Party under any of the Transaction Documents, or the ability of the Secured Party to exercise same.

 

(b)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor in and to the Pledged Securities and all other Collateral shall cease and all such rights shall immediately vest in Secured Party, as may be determined by Secured Party, although Secured Party shall not have any duty to exercise such rights or be required to sell or to otherwise realize upon the Collateral, as hereinafter authorized, or to preserve the same, and Secured Party shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in doing so. To effectuate the foregoing, Pledgor hereby grants to Secured Party a proxy to vote the Pledged Securities for and on behalf of Pledgor, which proxy is irrevocable and coupled with an interest and which proxy shall be effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. Such proxy shall remain in effect so long as the Obligations remain outstanding. The Company hereby agrees that any vote by Pledgor in violation of this Section 6 shall be null, void and of no force or effect. Furthermore, all dividends or other distributions received by the Pledgor shall be subject to delivery to Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3 above, and until such delivery, any of such dividends and other distributions shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3 above.

 

7.            Release of Pledged Securities. Upon the timely payment in full of all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, Secured Party shall notify the Escrow Agent in writing to such effect. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Escrow Agent shall return all of the Pledged Materials in Escrow Agent’s possession to the Pledgor, whereupon any and all rights of Secured Party in and to the Pledged Materials and all other Collateral shall be terminated.

8.            Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of the Pledgor and the Company. The Pledgor and the Company hereby covenant, warrant and represent, for the benefit of the Secured Party, as follows (the following representations and warranties shall be made as of the date of this Agreement and as of each date when Pledged Securities are delivered to Escrow Agent hereunder, as applicable):

 

(a)           The Pledged Securities are free and clear of any and all Liens, other than as created by this Agreement.

 

(b)           The Pledged Securities have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and are subject to no options to purchase, or any similar rights or to any restrictions on transferability.

(d)           By virtue of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and upon delivery to Escrow Agent of the Pledged Securities in accordance with this Agreement, Secured Party will have a valid and perfected, first priority security interest in the Collateral, subject to no prior or other Liens of any nature whatsoever.

 

(e)           Pledgor covenants, that for so long as this Agreement is in effect, Pledgor will defend the Collateral and the priority of Secured Party’s security interests therein, at its sole cost and expense, against the claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein.

 

(f)            At its option, Secured Party may pay, for Pledgor’s account, any taxes (including documentary stamp taxes), Liens, security interests, or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral. Pledgor agrees to reimburse Secured Party on demand for any payment made or expense incurred by Secured Party pursuant to the foregoing authorization. Any such amount, if not promptly paid upon demand therefor, shall accrue interest at the highest non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law from the date of outlay, until paid, and shall constitute an Obligation secured hereby.

 

(g)          The Pledgor and the Company acknowledge, represent and warrant that Secured Party is not an “affiliate” of the Pledgor or the Company, as such term is used and defined under Rule 144 of the federal securities laws.

 

(h)          The Pledged Securities constitute all of the securities owned, legally or beneficially, by the Pledgor, and such securities represent 49% of the issued and outstanding membership interests or other securities, on a fully diluted basis, of the Company. At all times while this Agreement remains in effect, the Pledged Securities shall constitute and represent 49% of the issued and outstanding membership interests or other securities of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis.

 

 4 

 

 

(i)            The Company and the Pledgor hereby authorize Secured Party to prepare and file such financing statements, amendments and other documents and do such acts as Secured Party deems necessary in order to establish and maintain valid, attached and perfected, first priority security interests in the Collateral in favor of Secured Party, for its own benefit and as agent for its Affiliates, free and clear of all Liens and claims and rights of third parties whatsoever. The Company and Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorize Secured Party at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements, amendments, continuations and other documents in furtherance of the foregoing.

 

9.            Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:

 

(a)           Default. The occurrence of any breach, default or “Event of Default” (as such term may be defined in any Transaction Documents), after applicable notice and cure periods, under any of the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)           Covenants and Agreements. The failure of Pledgor or the Company to perform, observe or comply with any and all of the covenants, promises and agreements of the Pledgor and the Company in this Agreement, which such failure is not cured by the Pledgor or the Company within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof from Secured Party.

 

(c)           Information, Representations and Warranties. If any representation or warranty made herein or in any other Transaction Documents, or if any information contained in any financial statement, application, schedule, report or any other document given by the Company to Secured Party in connection with the Obligations, with the Collateral, or with the Transaction Documents, is not in all material respects true, accurate and complete, or if the Pledgor or the Company omitted to state any material fact or any fact necessary to make such information not misleading and the Company shall not have provided an explanation satisfactory to the Holder within ten (10) Business Days of notice from the Holder.

 

10.          Rights and Remedies. Subject at all times to the Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect in the State governing this Agreement, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default:

 

(a)           Upon and any time after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default that is not timely cured within an applicable cure period hereunder (or, as to clause (c) thereunder, on the tenth (10th) Trading Day following notice from the Holder if the Company is unable to provide an explanation satisfactory to the Holder), the Secured Party shall have the right to acquire the Pledged Securities and all other Collateral in accordance with the following procedure: (i) the Secured Party shall provide written notice of such Event of Default (the “Default Notice”) to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to the Pledgor and the Company; (ii) as soon as practicable after receipt of a Default Notice, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Pledged Securities and all other Collateral, along with the applicable Transfer Documents, to the Secured Party.

 

 5 

 

 

(b)           Upon receipt of the Pledged Securities and other Collateral issued to the Secured Party, the Secured Party shall have the right to, without notice or demand to Pledgor or the Company: (i) sell the Collateral and to apply the proceeds of such sales, net of any selling commissions, to the Obligations owed to the Secured Party by the Company under the Transaction Documents, including outstanding principal, interest, legal fees, and any other amounts owed to the Secured Party; and (ii) exercise in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, any rights and remedies available to Secured Party under the provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect in the State governing this Agreement, and all other rights and remedies available to the Secured Party, under equity or applicable law, all such rights and remedies being cumulative and enforceable alternatively, successively or concurrently. In furtherance of the foregoing rights and remedies:

 

(i)       Secured Party may sell the Pledged Securities, or any part thereof, or any other portion of the Collateral, in one or more sales, at public or private sale, conducted by any agent of, or auctioneer or attorney for Secured Party, at Secured Party’s place of business or elsewhere, or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices, all as Secured Party may deem appropriate. Secured Party may be a purchaser at any such sale of any or all of the Collateral so sold. In the event Secured Party is a purchaser at any such sale, Secured Party may apply to such purchase all or any portion of the sums then due and owing by the Company to Secured Party under any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise, and the Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of the sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Pledgor or the Company therefore. Secured Party is authorized, in its absolute discretion, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of any of the Collateral at any public or private sale as to their number, nature of business and investment intention, including the restricting of bidders or purchasers to one or more persons who represent and agree, to the satisfaction of Secured Party, that they are purchasing the Collateral, or any part thereof, for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any of such Collateral.

 

(ii)       Upon any such sale, Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to each purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold to such purchaser. Each purchaser (including Secured Party) at any such sale shall, to the full extent permitted by law, hold the Collateral so purchased absolutely free from any claim or right whatsoever, including, without limitation, any equity or right of redemption of the Pledgor, who, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal which she now has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.

 

 6 

 

 

(iii)       At any such sale, the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety, in separate blocks or individually as Secured Party may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, or any adjournment thereof, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned without further notice or publication.

 

(iv)       The Pledgor and the Company acknowledge that compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, blue sky or other state securities laws or similar laws now or hereafter existing analogous in purpose or effect) might very strictly limit or restrict the course of conduct of Secured Party if Secured Party were to attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, and might also limit or restrict the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any such securities could sell or dispose of the same. The Pledgor and the Company further acknowledge that under applicable laws, Secured Party may be held to have certain general duties and obligations to the Pledgor, as pledgor of the Collateral, or the Company, to make some effort toward obtaining a fair price for the Collateral even though the obligations of the Pledgor and the Company may be discharged or reduced by the proceeds of sale at a lesser price. The Pledgor and the Company understand and agree that, to the extent allowable under applicable law, Secured Party is not to have any such general duty or obligation to the Pledgor or the Company, and neither the Pledgor nor the Company will attempt to hold Secured Party responsible for selling all or any part of the Collateral at an inadequate price even if Secured Party shall accept the first offer received or does not approach more than one possible purchaser. Without limiting their generality, the foregoing provisions would apply if, for example, Secured Party were to place all or any part of such securities for private placement by an investment banking firm, or if such investment banking firm purchased all or any part of such securities for its own account, or if Secured Party placed all or any part of such securities privately with a purchaser or purchasers.

 

(c)           To the extent that the net proceeds received by the Secured Party are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full, the Secured Party shall be entitled to a deficiency judgment against the Company and any other Person obligated for the Obligations for such deficiency amount. The Secured Party shall have the absolute right to sell or dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in any manner it sees fit and shall have no liability to the Pledgor, the Company, or any other party for selling or disposing of such Collateral even if other methods of sales or dispositions would or allegedly would result in greater proceeds than the method actually used. The Company and any other Person obligated for the Obligations shall remain liable for all deficiencies and shortfalls, if any, that may exist after the Secured Party has exhausted all remedies hereunder.

 

 7 

 

 

(d)           Each right, power and remedy of the Secured Party provided for in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Secured Party of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on the Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Secured Party to any other further action in any circumstances without demand or notice. The Secured Party shall have the full power to enforce or to assign or contract its rights under this Agreement to a third party.

 

(e)            In addition to all other remedies available to the Secured Party, upon the issuance of the Pledged Securities to the Secured Party after an Event of Default, Pledgor and the Company each agree to: (i) take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents and papers, as are required or advisable in the opinion of Secured Party and/or its counsel, to permit the sale of the Pledged Securities, whether at public sale, private sale or otherwise, including, without limitation, issuing, or causing its counsel to issue, any opinion of counsel for Pledgor or the Company required to allow the Secured Party to sell the Pledged Securities or any other Collateral under Rule 144; (ii) to bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 8(e), which shall be a part of the Obligations secured hereby; and (iv) that there is no adequate remedy at law for the failure by the Pledgor and the Company to comply with the provisions of this Section 8(e) and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this subsection may be specifically enforced.

 

11.          Concerning the Escrow Agent.

 

(a)           The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent agrees to release any property held by it hereunder (the “Escrowed Property”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

(b)          The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine, may assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such a writing or instrument, and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instructions in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner, and execution, or validity of any instrument deposited in this escrow, nor as to the identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same; and its duties hereunder shall be limited to the safekeeping of the Escrowed Property, and for the disposition of the same in accordance with this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any matter or thing unless and until Escrow Agent has actually received written notice of such matter or thing and Escrow Agent shall not be charged with any constructive notice whatsoever.

 

 8 

 

 

(c)           Escrow Agent shall hold in escrow, pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrowed Property actually delivered and received by Escrow Agent hereunder, but Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to ascertain the existence of (or initiate recovery of) any other property that may be part or portion of the Collateral, or to become or remain informed with respect to the possibility or probability of additional Collateral being realized upon or collected at any time in the future, or to inform any parties to this Agreement or any third party with respect to the nature and extent of any Collateral realized and received by Escrow Agent (except upon the written request of such party), or to monitor current market values of the Collateral. Further, Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to proceed with any action or inaction based on information with respect to market values of the Collateral which Escrow Agent may in any manner learn, nor shall Escrow Agent be obligated to inform the parties hereto or any third party with respect to market values of any of the Collateral at any time, Escrow Agent having no duties with respect to investment management or information, all parties hereto understanding and intending that Escrow Agent’s responsibilities are purely ministerial in nature. Any reduction in the market value or other value of the Collateral while deposited with Escrow Agent shall be at the sole risk of Pledgor and Secured Party. If all or any portion of the Escrowed Property is in the form of a check or in any other form other than cash, Escrow Agent shall deposit same as required but shall not be liable for the nonpayment thereof, nor responsible to enforce collection thereof.

 

(d)           In the event instructions from Secured Party, Pledgor, or any other Person would require Escrow Agent to expend any monies or to incur any cost, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until it receives payment for such costs. It is agreed that the duties of Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature and shall be expressly limited to the safekeeping of the Escrowed Property and for the disposition of same in accordance with this Agreement. Secured Party, Pledgor and the Company, jointly and severally, each hereby indemnifies Escrow Agent and holds it harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, penalties, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or any other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature (collectively, the “Claims”), which it may incur or with which it may be threatened, directly or indirectly, arising from or in any way connected with this Agreement or which may result from Escrow Agent’s following of instructions from Secured Party, Pledgor or the Company, and in connection therewith, indemnifies Escrow Agent against any and all expenses, including attorneys’ fees and the cost of defending any action, suit, or proceeding or resisting any Claim, whether or not litigation is instituted, unless any such Claims arise as a result of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Escrow Agent shall be vested with a lien on all Escrowed Property under the terms of this Agreement, for indemnification, attorneys’ fees, court costs and all other costs and expenses arising from any suit, interpleader or otherwise, or other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature, which may be incurred by Escrow Agent by reason of disputes arising between Pledgor, the Company, Secured Party, or any third party as to the correct interpretation of this Agreement, and instructions given to Escrow Agent hereunder, or otherwise, with the right of Escrow Agent, regardless of the instruments aforesaid and without the necessity of instituting any action, suit or proceeding, to hold any property hereunder until and unless said additional expenses, fees and charges shall be fully paid. Any fees and costs charged by the Escrow Agent for serving hereunder shall be paid by the Pledgor and the Company, jointly and severally.

(e)            In the event Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from Secured Party, the Company, Pledgor or from third persons with respect to the Escrowed Property, which, in Escrow Agent’s sole opinion, are in conflict with each other or with any provision of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by Pledgor, the Company and Secured Party and said third persons, if any, or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any of the parties shall be in disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about the rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its sole discretion, deposit the Escrowed Property with a court having jurisdiction over this Agreement, and, upon notifying all parties concerned of such action, all liability on the part of the Escrow Agent shall fully cease and terminate. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified by the Pledgor, the Company and Secured Party for all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with the aforesaid proceeding, and shall be fully protected in suspending all or a part of its activities under this Agreement until a final decision or other settlement in the proceeding is received. In the event Escrow Agent is joined as a party to a lawsuit by virtue of the fact that it is holding the Escrowed Property, Escrow Agent shall, at its sole option, either: (i) tender the Collateral in its possession to the registry of the appropriate court; or (ii) disburse the Collateral in its possession in accordance with the court’s ultimate disposition of the case, and Secured Party, the Company and Pledgor hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against any damages or losses in connection therewith including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs at all trial and appellate levels.

 

(f)           The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice (and the costs of such counsel shall be paid by the Pledgor, the Company and Secured Party, jointly and severally) and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistakes of fact or error of judgment, or for any actions or omissions of any kind, unless caused by its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

(g)          The Escrow Agent may resign upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the parties in this Agreement. If a successor Escrow Agent is not appointed by Secured Party and Pledgor within this ten (10) day period, the Escrow Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor.

 

 10 

 

 

(h)           Conflict Waiver. The Pledgor and each Company hereby acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is counsel to the Secured Party in connection with the transactions contemplated and referred herein. The Pledgor and the Company agree that in the event of any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any transaction or agreement contemplated and referred herein, the Escrow Agent shall be permitted to continue to represent the Secured Party and neither the Pledgor, nor the Company, will seek to disqualify such counsel and each of them waives any objection Pledgor or the Company might have with respect to the Escrow Agent acting as the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Pledgor, the Company and Secured Party acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Escrow Agent from: (i) serving in a similar capacity on behalf of others; or (ii) acting in the capacity of attorneys for one or more of the parties hereto in connection with any matter.

 

12.          Increase in Obligations. It is the intent of the parties to secure payment of the Obligations, as the amount of such Obligations may increase from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents, and all of the Obligations, as so increased from time to time, shall be and are secured hereby. Upon the execution hereof, Pledgor and the Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp taxes and/or other charges required to be paid in connection with the execution and enforcement of the Transaction Documents, and if, as and to the extent the Obligations are increased from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents, then Pledgor and the Company shall immediately pay any additional documentary stamp taxes or other charges in connection therewith.

 

13.          Irrevocable Authorization and Instruction. If applicable, Pledgor and the Company hereby authorize and instruct the transfer agent for the Company (or transfer agents if there is more than one) to comply with any instruction received by it from Secured Party in writing that: (i) states that an Event of Default hereunder exists or has occurred; and (b) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from Pledgor or the Company, and Pledgor and the Company agree that such transfer agents shall be fully protected in so complying with any such instruction from Secured Party.

 

14.          Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. The Company and Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent of Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Pledgor or the Company, as applicable, and in the name of Pledgor, the Company, or in the name of Secured Party, as applicable, from time to time in the discretion of Secured Party, so long as an Event of Default hereunder exists, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including any financing statements, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer. Pledgor and the Company each hereby ratify all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done pursuant to the power of attorney granted in this Section 14. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Obligations are paid and performed in full.

 

 11 

 

 

15.          Continuing Obligation of Pledgor and the Company. The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the Pledgor and the Company under this Agreement shall in no way be affected or impaired by: (i) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any of the obligations of the Pledgor or the Company or any other Person, as applicable; (ii) the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, or other similar proceedings affecting the Company, Pledgor or any other Person, as applicable; (iii) the release of the Company, Pledgor or any other Person from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any Transaction Documents, by the operation of law or otherwise, including the release of the Company’s or Pledgor’s obligation to pay interest or attorney's fees.

 

Pledgor and the Company further agree that Secured Party may take other guaranties or collateral or security to further secure the Obligations, and consent that any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any of the Transaction Documents may be renewed, altered, extended, changed or modified by Secured Party or may be released by Secured Party, without in any manner affecting this Agreement or releasing Pledgor herefrom, and Pledgor shall continue to be liable hereunder to pay and perform pursuant hereto, notwithstanding any such release or the taking of such other guaranties, collateral or security. This Agreement is additional and supplemental to any and all other guarantees, security agreements or collateral heretofore and hereafter executed by Pledgor and the Company for the benefit of Secured Party, whether relating to the indebtedness evidenced by any of the Transaction Documents or not, and shall not supersede or be superseded by any other document or guaranty executed by Pledgor, the Company or any other Person for any purpose. Pledgor and the Company hereby agree that Pledgor, the Company, and any additional parties who may become liable for repayment of the sums due under the Transaction Documents, may hereafter be released from their liability hereunder and thereunder; and Secured Party may take, or delay in taking or refuse to take, any and all action with reference to any of the Transaction Documents (regardless of whether same might vary the risk or alter the rights, remedies or recourses of Pledgor), including specifically the settlement or compromise of any amount allegedly due thereunder, all without notice to, consideration to or the consent of the Pledgor, and without in any way releasing, diminishing or affecting in any way the absolute nature of Pledgor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder.

 

 12 

 

 

No delay on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any rights hereunder or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver of such rights. Pledgor and the Company hereby waives any and all legal requirements, statutory or otherwise, that Secured Party shall institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or exhaust its rights, remedies and recourses against Pledgor, the Company or anyone else with respect to the Transaction Documents, as a condition precedent to bringing an action against Pledgor or the Company upon this Agreement or as a condition precedent to Secured Party’s rights to sell the Pledged Securities or any other Collateral. Pledgor and the Company agrees that Secured Party may simultaneously maintain an action upon this Agreement and an action or proceeding upon the Transaction Documents. All remedies afforded by reason of this Agreement are separate and cumulative remedies and may be exercised serially, simultaneously and in any order, and the exercise of any of such remedies shall not be deemed an exclusion of the other remedies and shall in no way limit or prejudice any other contractual, legal, equitable or statutory remedies which Secured Party may have in the Pledged Securities, any other Collateral, or under the Transaction Documents. Until the Obligations, and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof, are paid in full, and until each and all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement are fully performed, Pledgor shall not be released by any act or thing which might, but for this provision of this Agreement, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, or by reason of any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance or delay of Secured Party or any obligation or agreement between the Company or their successors or assigns, and the then holder of the Transaction Documents, relating to the payment of any sums evidenced or secured thereby or to any of the other terms, covenants and conditions contained therein, and Pledgor hereby expressly waive and surrender any defense to liability hereunder based upon any of the foregoing acts, things, agreements or waivers, or any of them. Pledgor and the Company also waives any defense arising by virtue of any disability, insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of authority or power or dissolution of Pledgor or the Company, even though rendering the Transaction Documents void, unenforceable or otherwise uncollectible, it being agreed that Pledgor and the Company shall remain liable hereunder, regardless of any claim which Pledgor or the Company might otherwise have against Secured Party by virtue of Secured Party's invocation of any right, remedy or recourse given to it hereunder or under the Transaction Documents. In addition, Pledgor waives and renounces any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, and any right of recourse to security for the Obligations of the Company to Secured Party, unless and until all of said Obligations have been paid in full to Secured Party.

 

16.          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Performance for Pledgor or the Company. The Pledgor and the Company agree and hereby acknowledge that Secured Party may, in Secured Party’s sole discretion, but Secured Party shall not be obligated to, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, advance funds on behalf of the Company or Pledgor, without prior notice to the Pledgor or the Company, in order to insure the Company’s and Pledgor’s compliance with any covenant, warranty, representation or agreement of the Pledgor or the Company made in or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, to continue or complete, or cause to be continued or completed, performance of the Pledgor’s and the Company’s obligations under any contracts of the Pledgor or the Company, or to preserve or protect any right or interest of Secured Party in the Collateral or under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that the making of any such advance by Secured Party shall not constitute a waiver by Secured Party of any Event of Default with respect to which such advance is made, nor relieve the Pledgor or the Company of any such Event of Default. The Pledgor and the Company, respectively and as applicable, shall pay to Secured Party upon demand all such advances made by Secured Party with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. All such advances shall be deemed to be included in the Obligations and secured by the security interest granted Secured Party hereunder; provided, however, that the provisions of this Subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Secured Party’s security interest hereunder and the payment of all other Obligations.

 

 13 

 

 

(b)           Applications of Payments and Collateral. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, all Collateral and proceeds of Collateral coming into Secured Party’s possession may be applied by Secured Party (after payment of any costs, fees and other amounts incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith) to any of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus 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. 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 highest rate permitted 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.

 

(c)           Waivers by Pledgor and the Company. The Company and the Pledgor hereby waives, to the extent the same may be waived under applicable law: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) all claims and rights of the Pledgor and the Company against Secured Party on account of actions taken or not taken by Secured Party in the exercise of Secured Party’s rights or remedies hereunder, under any other Transaction Documents or under applicable law; (iii) all claims of the Pledgor and the Company for failure of Secured Party to comply with any requirement of applicable law relating to enforcement of Secured Party’s rights or remedies hereunder, under the other Transaction Documents or under applicable law; (iv) all rights of redemption of the Pledgor with respect to the Collateral; (v) in the event Secured Party seeks to repossess any or all of the Collateral by judicial proceedings, any bond(s) or demand(s) for possession which otherwise may be necessary or required; (vi) presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of non-payment and all exemptions applicable to any of the Collateral or the Pledgor or the Company; (vii) any and all other notices or demands which by applicable law must be given to or made upon the Pledgor or the Company by Secured Party; (viii) settlement, compromise or release of the obligations of any person or entity primarily or secondarily liable upon any of the Obligations; (ix) all rights of the Pledgor or the Company to demand that Secured Party release account debtors or other persons or entities liable on any of the Collateral from further obligation to Secured Party; and (x) substitution, impairment, exchange or release of any Collateral for any of the Obligations. The Pledgor and the Company agree that Secured Party may exercise any or all of its rights and/or remedies hereunder and under any other Transaction Documents and under applicable law without resorting to and without regard to any Collateral or sources of liability with respect to any of the Obligations.

 

(d)          Waivers by Secured Party. No failure or any delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents or under applicable law, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

 

 14 

 

 

(e)           Secured Party’s Setoff. Secured Party shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, following an Event of Default, to set off against any Obligations due Secured Party, any debt owing to the Pledgor or the Company by Secured Party.

 

(f)            Modifications, Waivers and Consents. No modifications or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, and no consent by Secured Party to any departure by the Pledgor or the Company therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given, and any single or partial written waiver by Secured Party of any term, provision or right of Secured Party hereunder shall only be applicable to the specific instance to which it relates and shall not be deemed to be a continuing or future waiver of any other right, power or remedy. No notice to or demand upon the Pledgor or the Company in any case shall entitle Pledgor or the Company to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

(g)           Notices. All notices of request, demand and other communications hereunder shall be addressed, sent and deemed delivered in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, including delivery of any such notices or communications to the Pledgor on behalf of the Company, which the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges shall be valid and effective notice to the Company hereunder.

 

(h)          Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. The Pledgor, the Company and the Secured Party each irrevocably agrees that any dispute arising under, relating to, or in connection with, directly or indirectly, this Agreement or related to any matter which is the subject of or incidental to this Agreement (whether or not such claim is based upon breach of contract or tort) shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and/or federal courts located in Broward County, Florida; provided, however, Secured Party may, at Secured Party’s sole option, elect to bring any action in any other jurisdiction. This provision is intended to be a “mandatory” forum selection clause and governed by and interpreted consistent with Florida law. The Pledgor, the Company and Secured Party each hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court having its situs in said county (or to any other jurisdiction or venue, if Secured Party so elects), and each waives any objection based on forum non conveniens. The Pledgor and the Company each hereby waives personal service of any and all process and consent that all such service of process may be made by certified mail, return receipt requested, directed to the Pledgor or the Company, as applicable, as set forth herein and in the manner provided by applicable statute, law, rule of court or otherwise. Except for the foregoing mandatory forum selection clause, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws.

 

(i)            Survival: Successors and Assigns. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof, and shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have been paid in full, there exists no commitment by Secured Party which could give rise to any Obligations. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. In the event that Secured Party assigns this Agreement and/or its security interest in the Collateral, such assignment shall be binding upon and recognized by the Pledgor. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties by or on behalf of the Pledgor or the Company which are contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and assigns. Neither the Pledgor, nor the Company, may assign this Agreement or delegate any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent may be withheld in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

 15 

 

 

(j)            Severability.

3.            Transfer of Pledged Securities. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Pledgor shall deliver to the Escrow Agent: (i) if the Pledged Securities are evidenced by physical certificates, then all original certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Securities, together with undated, irrevocable and duly executed assignments or stock powers thereof in form and substance acceptable to Secured Party (together with medallion guaranteed signatures, if required by Secured Party), executed in blank by Pledgor; (ii) if the Pledged Securities are not represented by physical certificates, then undated, irrevocable and duly executed assignment instruments in form and substance acceptable to Secured Party, executed in blank by Pledgor; and (iii) all other property, instruments, documents and papers comprising, representing or evidencing the Collateral, or any part thereof, together with proper instruments of assignment or endorsement, as Secured Party may request or require, duly executed by Pledgor (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”). The Pledged Securities and other Transfer Documents (collectively, the “Pledged Materials”) shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement until the full payment and performance of all of the Obligations, the termination or expiration of this Agreement, or delivery of the Pledged Materials in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, all non-cash dividends, dividends paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution of the Company, instruments, securities and any other distributions, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise, made on or in respect of the Pledged Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination, or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock or other securities of the Company, or received in exchange for the Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other exchange of assets to which the Company may be a party or otherwise, or any other property that constitutes part of the Collateral from time to time, including any additional certificates representing any portion of the Collateral hereafter acquired by the Pledgor, shall be immediately delivered or cause to be delivered by Pledgor to the Escrow Agent in the same form as so received, together with proper instruments of assignment or endorsement duly executed by Pledgor.

4.            Security Interest Only. The security interests in the Collateral granted to Secured Party hereunder are granted as security only and shall not subject the Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of the Pledgor with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith.

 

5.            Record Owner of Collateral. Until an “Event of Default” (as hereinafter defined) under this Agreement shall occur, the Pledged Securities shall remain registered in the name of the Pledgor. Pledgor will promptly give to the Secured Party copies of any notices or other communications received by it and with respect to Collateral registered in the name of Pledgor.

 

6.            Rights Related to Pledged Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, unless and until an Event of Default under this Agreement shall occur:

 

(a)        Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting, management, and other rights, powers and privileges accruing to an owner of the Pledged Securities, or any part thereof, for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, such action would not materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to Secured Party under any of the Transaction Documents, or adversely affect the remedies of the Secured Party under any of the Transaction Documents, or the ability of the Secured Party to exercise same.

 

(b)       Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor in and to the Pledged Securities and all other Collateral shall cease and all such rights shall immediately vest in Secured Party, as may be determined by Secured Party, although Secured Party shall not have any duty to exercise such rights or be required to sell or to otherwise realize upon the Collateral, as hereinafter authorized, or to preserve the same, and Secured Party shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in doing so. To effectuate the foregoing, Pledgor hereby grants to Secured Party a proxy to vote the Pledged Securities for and on behalf of Pledgor, which proxy is irrevocable and coupled with an interest and which proxy shall be effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. Such proxy shall remain in effect so long as the Obligations remain outstanding. Furthermore, all dividends or other distributions received by the Pledgor shall be subject to delivery to Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3 above, and until such delivery, any of such dividends and other distributions shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3 above.

 

 3 

 

 

7.            Release of Pledged Securities. Upon the timely payment in full of all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, Secured Party shall notify the Escrow Agent in writing to such effect. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Escrow Agent shall return all of the Pledged Materials in Escrow Agent’s possession to the Pledgor, whereupon any and all rights of Secured Party in and to the Pledged Materials and all other Collateral shall be terminated.

 

8.            Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of the Pledgor. The Pledgor hereby covenants, warrants and represents, for the benefit of the Secured Party, as follows (the following representations and warranties shall be made as of the date of this Agreement and as of each date when Pledged Securities are delivered to Escrow Agent hereunder, as applicable):

 

(a)       The Pledged Securities are free and clear of any and all Liens, other than as created by this Agreement.

 

(b)       The Pledged Securities have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and are subject to no options to purchase, or any similar rights or to any restrictions on transferability.

 

(c)       Each certificate or document of title constituting the Pledged Securities is genuine in all respects and represents what it purports to be.

 

(d)       By virtue of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and upon delivery to Escrow Agent of the Pledged Securities in accordance with this Agreement, Secured Party will have a valid and perfected, first priority security interest in the Collateral, subject to no prior or other Liens of any nature whatsoever.

 

(e)       Pledgor covenants, that for so long as this Agreement is in effect, Pledgor will defend the Collateral and the priority of Secured Party’s security interests therein, at its sole cost and expense, against the claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein.

 

(f)       At its option, Secured Party may pay, for Pledgor’s account, any taxes (including documentary stamp taxes), Liens, security interests, or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral. Pledgor agrees to reimburse Secured Party on demand for any payment made or expense incurred by Secured Party pursuant to the foregoing authorization. Any such amount, if not promptly paid upon demand therefor, shall accrue interest at the highest non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law from the date of outlay, until paid, and shall constitute an Obligation secured hereby.

 

(g)       The Pledgor acknowledges, represent and warrants that Secured Party is not an “affiliate” of the Pledgor, as such term is used and defined under Rule 144 of the federal securities laws.

 

 4 

 

 

(h)       The Pledged Securities constitute all of the securities owned, legally or beneficially, by the Pledgor, and such securities represent 100% of the issued and outstanding Series B membership interests or other securities, on a fully diluted basis, of the Company. At all times while this Agreement remains in effect, the Pledged Securities shall constitute and represent 100% of the issued and outstanding Series B membership interests or other securities of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis.

 

(i)       The Pledgor hereby authorize Secured Party to prepare and file such financing statements, amendments and other documents and do such acts as Secured Party deems necessary in order to establish and maintain valid, attached and perfected, first priority security interests in the Collateral in favor of Secured Party, for its own benefit and as agent for its Affiliates, free and clear of all Liens and claims and rights of third parties whatsoever. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorize Secured Party at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements, amendments, continuations and other documents in furtherance of the foregoing.

 

9.           Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:

 

(a)       Default. The occurrence of any breach, default or “Event of Default” (as such term may be defined in any Transaction Documents), after applicable notice and cure periods, under any of the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)       Covenants and Agreements. The failure of Pledgor to perform, observe or comply with any and all of the covenants, promises and agreements of the Pledgor in this Agreement, which such failure is not cured by the Pledgor within ten (10) Business Day after receipt of written notice thereof from Secured Party.

 

(c)       Information, Representations and Warranties. If any representation or warranty made herein or in any other Transaction Documents, or if any information contained in any financial statement, application, schedule, report or any other document given by the Pledgor to Secured Party in connection with the Obligations, with the Collateral, or with the Transaction Documents, is not in all material respects true, accurate and complete, or if the Pledgor omitted to state any material fact or any fact necessary to make such information not misleading and the Pledgor shall not have provided an explanation satisfactory to the Holder within ten (10) Business Days of notice from the Holder.

 

10.           Rights and Remedies. Subject at all times to the Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect in the State governing this Agreement, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default:

 

 5 

 

 

(a)       Upon and any time after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default that is not timely cured within an applicable cure period hereunder (or, as to clause (c) thereunder, on the tenth (10th) Trading Day following notice from the Holder if the Pledgor is unable to provide an explanation satisfactory to the Holder), the Secured Party shall have the right to acquire the Pledged Securities and all other Collateral in accordance with the following procedure: (i) the Secured Party shall provide written notice of such Event of Default (the “Default Notice”) to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to the Pledgor; (ii) as soon as practicable after receipt of a Default Notice, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Pledged Securities and all other Collateral, along with the applicable Transfer Documents, to the Secured Party.

 

(b)       Upon receipt of the Pledged Securities and other Collateral issued to the Secured Party, the Secured Party shall have the right to, without notice or demand to Pledgor: (i) sell the Collateral and to apply the proceeds of such sales, net of any selling commissions, to the Obligations owed to the Secured Party by the Pledgor under the Transaction Documents, including outstanding principal, interest, legal fees, and any other amounts owed to the Secured Party; and (ii) exercise in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, any rights and remedies available to Secured Party under the provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect in the State governing this Agreement, and all other rights and remedies available to the Secured Party, under equity or applicable law, all such rights and remedies being cumulative and enforceable alternatively, successively or concurrently. In furtherance of the foregoing rights and remedies:

 

(i)       Secured Party may sell the Pledged Securities, or any part thereof, or any other portion of the Collateral, in one or more sales, at public or private sale, conducted by any agent of, or auctioneer or attorney for Secured Party, at Secured Party’s place of business or elsewhere, or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices, all as Secured Party may deem appropriate. Secured Party may be a purchaser at any such sale of any or all of the Collateral so sold. In the event Secured Party is a purchaser at any such sale, Secured Party may apply to such purchase all or any portion of the sums then due and owing by the Pledgor to Secured Party under any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise, and the Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of the sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Pledgor therefore. Secured Party is authorized, in its absolute discretion, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of any of the Collateral at any public or private sale as to their number, nature of business and investment intention, including the restricting of bidders or purchasers to one or more persons who represent and agree, to the satisfaction of Secured Party, that they are purchasing the Collateral, or any part thereof, for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any of such Collateral.

 

(ii)       Upon any such sale, Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to each purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold to such purchaser. Each purchaser (including Secured Party) at any such sale shall, to the full extent permitted by law, hold the Collateral so purchased absolutely free from any claim or right whatsoever, including, without limitation, any equity or right of redemption of the Pledgor, who, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal which she now has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.

 

 6 

 

 

(iii)      At any such sale, the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety, in separate blocks or individually as Secured Party may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, or any adjournment thereof, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned without further notice or publication.

 

(iv)      The Pledgor acknowledges that compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, blue sky or other state securities laws or similar laws now or hereafter existing analogous in purpose or effect) might very strictly limit or restrict the course of conduct of Secured Party if Secured Party were to attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, and might also limit or restrict the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any such securities could sell or dispose of the same. The Pledgor further acknowledges that under applicable laws, Secured Party may be held to have certain general duties and obligations to the Pledgor, as pledgor of the Collateral, to make some effort toward obtaining a fair price for the Collateral even though the obligations of the Pledgor may be discharged or reduced by the proceeds of sale at a lesser price. The Pledgor understands and agrees that, to the extent allowable under applicable law, Secured Party is not to have any such general duty or obligation to the Pledgor, and the Pledgor will not attempt to hold Secured Party responsible for selling all or any part of the Collateral at an inadequate price even if Secured Party shall accept the first offer received or does not approach more than one possible purchaser. Without limiting their generality, the foregoing provisions would apply if, for example, Secured Party were to place all or any part of such securities for private placement by an investment banking firm, or if such investment banking firm purchased all or any part of such securities for its own account, or if Secured Party placed all or any part of such securities privately with a purchaser or purchasers.

 

(c)       To the extent that the net proceeds received by the Secured Party are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full, the Secured Party shall be entitled to a deficiency judgment against the Pledgor and any other Person obligated for the Obligations for such deficiency amount. The Secured Party shall have the absolute right to sell or dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in any manner it sees fit and shall have no liability to the Pledgor, or any other party for selling or disposing of such Collateral even if other methods of sales or dispositions would or allegedly would result in greater proceeds than the method actually used. The Pledgor and any other Person obligated for the Obligations shall remain liable for all deficiencies and shortfalls, if any, that may exist after the Secured Party has exhausted all remedies hereunder.

 

 7 

 

 

(d)       Each right, power and remedy of the Secured Party provided for in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Secured Party of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on the Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Secured Party to any other further action in any circumstances without demand or notice. The Secured Party shall have the full power to enforce or to assign or contract its rights under this Agreement to a third party.

 

(e)       In addition to all other remedies available to the Secured Party, upon the issuance of the Pledged Securities to the Secured Party after an Event of Default, Pledgor agrees to: (i) take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents and papers, as are required or advisable in the opinion of Secured Party and/or its counsel, to permit the sale of the Pledged Securities, whether at public sale, private sale or otherwise, including, without limitation, issuing, or causing its counsel to issue, any opinion of counsel for Pledgor required to allow the Secured Party to sell the Pledged Securities or any other Collateral under Rule 144; (ii) to bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 8(e), which shall be a part of the Obligations secured hereby; and (iv) that there is no adequate remedy at law for the failure by the Pledgor to comply with the provisions of this Section 8(e) and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this subsection may be specifically enforced.

 

11.          Concerning the Escrow Agent.

 

(a)       The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent agrees to release any property held by it hereunder (the “Escrowed Property”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

(b)       The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine, may assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such a writing or instrument, and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instructions in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner, and execution, or validity of any instrument deposited in this escrow, nor as to the identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same; and its duties hereunder shall be limited to the safekeeping of the Escrowed Property, and for the disposition of the same in accordance with this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any matter or thing unless and until Escrow Agent has actually received written notice of such matter or thing and Escrow Agent shall not be charged with any constructive notice whatsoever.

 

 8 

 

 

(c)       Escrow Agent shall hold in escrow, pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrowed Property actually delivered and received by Escrow Agent hereunder, but Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to ascertain the existence of (or initiate recovery of) any other property that may be part or portion of the Collateral, or to become or remain informed with respect to the possibility or probability of additional Collateral being realized upon or collected at any time in the future, or to inform any parties to this Agreement or any third party with respect to the nature and extent of any Collateral realized and received by Escrow Agent (except upon the written request of such party), or to monitor current market values of the Collateral. Further, Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to proceed with any action or inaction based on information with respect to market values of the Collateral which Escrow Agent may in any manner learn, nor shall Escrow Agent be obligated to inform the parties hereto or any third party with respect to market values of any of the Collateral at any time, Escrow Agent having no duties with respect to investment management or information, all parties hereto understanding and intending that Escrow Agent’s responsibilities are purely ministerial in nature. Any reduction in the market value or other value of the Collateral while deposited with Escrow Agent shall be at the sole risk of Pledgor and Secured Party. If all or any portion of the Escrowed Property is in the form of a check or in any other form other than cash, Escrow Agent shall deposit same as required but shall not be liable for the nonpayment thereof, nor responsible to enforce collection thereof.

 

(d)       In the event instructions from Secured Party, Pledgor, or any other Person would require Escrow Agent to expend any monies or to incur any cost, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until it receives payment for such costs. It is agreed that the duties of Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature and shall be expressly limited to the safekeeping of the Escrowed Property and for the disposition of same in accordance with this Agreement. Secured Party and the Pledgor, jointly and severally, each hereby indemnifies Escrow Agent and holds it harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, penalties, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or any other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature (collectively, the “Claims”), which it may incur or with which it may be threatened, directly or indirectly, arising from or in any way connected with this Agreement or which may result from Escrow Agent’s following of instructions from Secured Party and the Pledgor, and in connection therewith, indemnifies Escrow Agent against any and all expenses, including attorneys’ fees and the cost of defending any action, suit, or proceeding or resisting any Claim, whether or not litigation is instituted, unless any such Claims arise as a result of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Escrow Agent shall be vested with a lien on all Escrowed Property under the terms of this Agreement, for indemnification, attorneys’ fees, court costs and all other costs and expenses arising from any suit, interpleader or otherwise, or other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature, which may be incurred by Escrow Agent by reason of disputes arising between Pledgor and the Secured Party, or any third party as to the correct interpretation of this Agreement, and instructions given to Escrow Agent hereunder, or otherwise, with the right of Escrow Agent, regardless of the instruments aforesaid and without the necessity of instituting any action, suit or proceeding, to hold any property hereunder until and unless said additional expenses, fees and charges shall be fully paid. Any fees and costs charged by the Escrow Agent for serving hereunder shall be paid by the Pledgor.

 

 9 

 

 

(e)       In the event Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from Secured Party and Pledgor or from third persons with respect to the Escrowed Property, which, in Escrow Agent’s sole opinion, are in conflict with each other or with any provision of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by Pledgor and Secured Party and said third persons, if any, or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any of the parties shall be in disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about the rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its sole discretion, deposit the Escrowed Property with a court having jurisdiction over this Agreement, and, upon notifying all parties concerned of such action, all liability on the part of the Escrow Agent shall fully cease and terminate. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified by the Pledgor and Secured Party for all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with the aforesaid proceeding, and shall be fully protected in suspending all or a part of its activities under this Agreement until a final decision or other settlement in the proceeding is received. In the event Escrow Agent is joined as a party to a lawsuit by virtue of the fact that it is holding the Escrowed Property, Escrow Agent shall, at its sole option, either: (i) tender the Collateral in its possession to the registry of the appropriate court; or (ii) disburse the Collateral in its possession in accordance with the court’s ultimate disposition of the case, and Secured Party and Pledgor hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against any damages or losses in connection therewith including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs at all trial and appellate levels.

 

(f)       The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice (and the costs of such counsel shall be paid by the Pledgor and Secured Party, jointly and severally) and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistakes of fact or error of judgment, or for any actions or omissions of any kind, unless caused by its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

(g)       The Escrow Agent may resign upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the parties in this Agreement. If a successor Escrow Agent is not appointed by Secured Party and Pledgor within this ten (10) day period, the Escrow Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor.

 

(h)       Conflict Waiver. The Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is counsel to the Secured Party in connection with the transactions contemplated and referred herein. The Pledgor agrees that in the event of any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any transaction or agreement contemplated and referred herein, the Escrow Agent shall be permitted to continue to represent the Secured Party and the Pledgor will seek to disqualify such counsel and each of them waives any objection Pledgor might have with respect to the Escrow Agent acting as the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Pledgor and Secured Party acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Escrow Agent from: (i) serving in a similar capacity on behalf of others; or (ii) acting in the capacity of attorneys for one or more of the parties hereto in connection with any matter.

 

 10 

 

 

12.          Increase in Obligations. It is the intent of the parties to secure payment of the Obligations, as the amount of such Obligations may increase from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents, and all of the Obligations, as so increased from time to time, shall be and are secured hereby. Upon the execution hereof, Pledgor shall pay any and all documentary stamp taxes and/or other charges required to be paid in connection with the execution and enforcement of the Transaction Documents, and if, as and to the extent the Obligations are increased from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents, then Pledgor shall immediately pay any additional documentary stamp taxes or other charges in connection therewith.

 

13.          Irrevocable Authorization and Instruction. If applicable, Pledgor hereby authorize and instruct the transfer agent for the Company (or transfer agents if there is more than one) to comply with any instruction received by it from Secured Party in writing that: (i) states that an Event of Default hereunder exists or has occurred; and (b) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from Pledgor or the Company, and Pledgor agrees that such transfer agents shall be fully protected in so complying with any such instruction from Secured Party.

 

14.          Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent of Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, or in the name of Secured Party, as applicable, from time to time in the discretion of Secured Party, so long as an Event of Default hereunder exists, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including any financing statements, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer. Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done pursuant to the power of attorney granted in this Section 14. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Obligations are paid and performed in full.

 

15.          Continuing Obligation of Pledgor. The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the Pledgor under this Agreement shall in no way be affected or impaired by: (i) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any of the obligations of the Pledgor or any other Person, as applicable; (ii) the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, or other similar proceedings affecting the Company, Pledgor or any other Person, as applicable; (iii) the release of the Pledgor or any other Person from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any Transaction Documents, by the operation of law or otherwise, including the release of the Pledgor’s obligation to pay interest or attorney's fees.

 

 11 

 

 

Pledgor further agree that Secured Party may take other guaranties or collateral or security to further secure the Obligations, and consent that any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any of the Transaction Documents may be renewed, altered, extended, changed or modified by Secured Party or may be released by Secured Party, without in any manner affecting this Agreement or releasing Pledgor herefrom, and Pledgor shall continue to be liable hereunder to pay and perform pursuant hereto, notwithstanding any such release or the taking of such other guaranties, collateral or security. This Agreement is additional and supplemental to any and all other guarantees, security agreements or collateral heretofore and hereafter executed by Pledgor for the benefit of Secured Party, whether relating to the indebtedness evidenced by any of the Transaction Documents or not, and shall not supersede or be superseded by any other document or guaranty executed by Pledgor or any other Person for any purpose. Pledgor hereby agrees that Pledgor and any additional parties who may become liable for repayment of the sums due under the Transaction Documents, may hereafter be released from their liability hereunder and thereunder; and Secured Party may take, or delay in taking or refuse to take, any and all action with reference to any of the Transaction Documents (regardless of whether same might vary the risk or alter the rights, remedies or recourses of Pledgor), including specifically the settlement or compromise of any amount allegedly due thereunder, all without notice to, consideration to or the consent of the Pledgor, and without in any way releasing, diminishing or affecting in any way the absolute nature of Pledgor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder.

 

No delay on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any rights hereunder or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver of such rights. Pledgor hereby waives any and all legal requirements, statutory or otherwise, that Secured Party shall institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or exhaust its rights, remedies and recourses against Pledgor or anyone else with respect to the Transaction Documents, as a condition precedent to bringing an action against Pledgor upon this Agreement or as a condition precedent to Secured Party’s rights to sell the Pledged Securities or any other Collateral. Pledgor agrees that Secured Party may simultaneously maintain an action upon this Agreement and an action or proceeding upon the Transaction Documents. All remedies afforded by reason of this Agreement are separate and cumulative remedies and may be exercised serially, simultaneously and in any order, and the exercise of any of such remedies shall not be deemed an exclusion of the other remedies and shall in no way limit or prejudice any other contractual, legal, equitable or statutory remedies which Secured Party may have in the Pledged Securities, any other Collateral, or under the Transaction Documents. Until the Obligations, and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof, are paid in full, and until each and all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement are fully performed, Pledgor shall not be released by any act or thing which might, but for this provision of this Agreement, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, or by reason of any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance or delay of Secured Party or any obligation or agreement between the Pledgor or their successors or assigns, and the then holder of the Transaction Documents, relating to the payment of any sums evidenced or secured thereby or to any of the other terms, covenants and conditions contained therein, and Pledgor hereby expressly waive and surrender any defense to liability hereunder based upon any of the foregoing acts, things, agreements or waivers, or any of them. Pledgor also waives any defense arising by virtue of any disability, insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of authority or power or dissolution of Pledgor, even though rendering the Transaction Documents void, unenforceable or otherwise uncollectible, it being agreed that Pledgor shall remain liable hereunder, regardless of any claim which Pledgor might otherwise have against Secured Party by virtue of Secured Party's invocation of any right, remedy or recourse given to it hereunder or under the Transaction Documents. In addition, Pledgor waives and renounces any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, and any right of recourse to security for the Obligations of the Pledgor to Secured Party, unless and until all of said Obligations have been paid in full to Secured Party.

16.          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)       Performance for the Pledgor. The Pledgor agrees and hereby acknowledges that Secured Party may, in Secured Party’s sole discretion, but Secured Party shall not be obligated to, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, advance funds on behalf of the Pledgor, without prior notice to the Pledgor, in order to insure the Pledgor’s compliance with any covenant, warranty, representation or agreement of the Pledgor made in or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, to continue or complete, or cause to be continued or completed, performance of the Pledgor’s obligations under any contracts of the Pledgor, or to preserve or protect any right or interest of Secured Party in the Collateral or under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that the making of any such advance by Secured Party shall not constitute a waiver by Secured Party of any Event of Default with respect to which such advance is made, nor relieve the Pledgor of any such Event of Default. The Pledgor shall pay to Secured Party upon demand all such advances made by Secured Party with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. All such advances shall be deemed to be included in the Obligations and secured by the security interest granted Secured Party hereunder; provided, however, that the provisions of this Subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Secured Party’s security interest hereunder and the payment of all other Obligations.

 

(b)       Applications of Payments and Collateral. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, all Collateral and proceeds of Collateral coming into Secured Party’s possession may be applied by Secured Party (after payment of any costs, fees and other amounts incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith) to any of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus 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. 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 Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted 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.

 

 13 

 

 

(c)       Waivers by Pledgor. The Pledgor hereby waives, to the extent the same may be waived under applicable law: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) all claims and rights of the Pledgor against Secured Party on account of actions taken or not taken by Secured Party in the exercise of Secured Party’s rights or remedies hereunder, under any other Transaction Documents or under applicable law; (iii) all claims of the Pledgor for failure of Secured Party to comply with any requirement of applicable law relating to enforcement of Secured Party’s rights or remedies hereunder, under the other Transaction Documents or under applicable law; (iv) all rights of redemption of the Pledgor with respect to the Collateral; (v) in the event Secured Party seeks to repossess any or all of the Collateral by judicial proceedings, any bond(s) or demand(s) for possession which otherwise may be necessary or required; (vi) presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of non-payment and all exemptions applicable to any of the Collateral or the Pledgor; (vii) any and all other notices or demands which by applicable law must be given to or made upon the Pledgor by Secured Party; (viii) settlement, compromise or release of the obligations of any person or entity primarily or secondarily liable upon any of the Obligations; (ix) all rights of the Pledgor to demand that Secured Party release account debtors or other persons or entities liable on any of the Collateral from further obligation to Secured Party; and (x) substitution, impairment, exchange or release of any Collateral for any of the Obligations. The Pledgor agrees that Secured Party may exercise any or all of its rights and/or remedies hereunder and under any other Transaction Documents and under applicable law without resorting to and without regard to any Collateral or sources of liability with respect to any of the Obligations.

 

(d)       Waivers by Secured Party. No failure or any delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents or under applicable law, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

 

(e)        Secured Party’s Setoff. Secured Party shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, following an Event of Default, to set off against any Obligations due Secured Party, any debt owing to the Pledgor by Secured Party.

 

(f)         Modifications, Waivers and Consents. No modifications or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, and no consent by Secured Party to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given, and any single or partial written waiver by Secured Party of any term, provision or right of Secured Party hereunder shall only be applicable to the specific instance to which it relates and shall not be deemed to be a continuing or future waiver of any other right, power or remedy. No notice to or demand upon the Pledgor in any case shall entitle Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

(g)       Notices. All notices of request, demand and other communications hereunder shall be addressed, sent and deemed delivered in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, including delivery of any such notices or communications to the Pledgor.

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. In the event that Secured Party assigns this Agreement and/or its security interest in the Collateral, such assignment shall be binding upon and recognized by the Pledgor.

(j)       Severability. If any term, provision or condition, or any part thereof, of this Agreement shall for any reason be found or held invalid or unenforceable by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remainder of such term, provision or condition nor any other term, provision or condition, and this Agreement shall survive and be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable term, provision or condition had not been contained therein.

 

(k)       Merger and Integration. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered and the transactions contemplated hereby, and no other agreement, statement or promise made by any party hereto, or by any employee, officer, agent or attorney of any party hereto, which is not contained herein shall be valid or binding.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format file or other similar format file, such signature shall be deemed an original for all purposes and shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page was an original thereof.

If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and all expenses, even if not taxable as court costs (including, without limitation, all such fees, costs and expenses incident to appeals), incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party or parties may be entitled.

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated and effective as of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between Inventergy Global, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the Buyer, the Company has agreed to issue to the Buyer and the Buyer has agreed to purchase from Company certain senior secured, redeemable debentures (the “Debentures”), as more specifically set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce Buyer to purchase the Debentures, and with full knowledge that Buyer would not purchase the Debentures without this Guaranty, the Guarantors have agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty to Buyer, for the benefit of Buyer, as security for the Obligations;

 

WHEREAS, the Guarantors are subsidiaries of the Company and will significantly benefit from Buyer’s purchase of the Debentures from the Company; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties each intending to be legally bound, hereby do agree as follows:

 

1.           OBLIGATIONS GUARANTEED

 

The Guarantors hereby guarantee and become sureties to Buyer for the full, prompt and unconditional payment and performance of the Obligations, when and as the same shall become due, whether at the stated maturity date, by acceleration or otherwise, and the full, prompt and unconditional performance of each term and condition to be performed by Company under the Debentures and the other Transaction Documents. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of the Guarantors and shall be a continuing inexhaustible Guaranty. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Buyer may require the Guarantors to pay and perform their liabilities and obligations under this Guaranty and may proceed immediately against the Guarantors without being required to bring any proceeding or take any action against Company or any other Person prior thereto; the liability of the Guarantors hereunder being independent of and separate from the liability of Company, any other guarantor, any other Person, and the availability of other collateral security for the Debentures and the other Transaction Documents.

 

 

 

 

2.           DEFINITIONS

 

All capitalized terms used in this Guaranty that are defined in the Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement, unless the context of this Guaranty requires otherwise.

3.2.          Execution of Guaranty. This Guaranty, and each other Transaction Document to which the Guarantors are a party, have been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantors. Execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty and each other Transaction Document to which the Guarantors are a party will not: (i) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation, any judgment, order, writ, decree or other instrument of any governmental authority, or any provision of any contract or other instrument to which the Guarantors are a party or by which the Guarantors or any of their properties or assets are bound; (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any nature, other than the liens created by the Transaction Documents; and (iii) require any consent from, exemption of, or filing or registration with, any governmental authority or any other Person, other than any filings in connection with the liens created by the Transaction Documents.

 

3.3.          Obligations of Guarantors.

The purchase of the Debenture by Buyer and the assumption by the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder and under any other Transaction Document to which the Guarantors are a party will result in material benefits to Guarantor. This Guaranty was entered into by the Guarantors for commercial purposes.

6.2.          Subordination of Other Debts. Each Guarantor hereby: (a) subordinates the obligations now or hereafter owed by Company to each Guarantor (“Subordinated Debt”) to any and all obligations of Company to Buyer now or hereafter existing while this Guaranty is in effect, and hereby agrees that each Guarantor will not request or accept payment of or any security for any part of the Subordinated Debt, and any proceeds of the Subordinated Debt paid to each Guarantor, through error or otherwise, shall immediately be forwarded to Buyer by each Guarantor, properly endorsed to the order of Buyer, to apply to the Obligations.

 

6.3.          Security for Guaranty. All of each Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities evidenced by this Guaranty is also secured by all of the Collateral of the Guarantors pursuant to that certain Security Agreement by and between the Guarantors and Buyer made of even date herewith (the “Security Agreement”). All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions, representations, warranties and stipulations contained in the Security Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which the Guarantors are a party which are to be kept and performed by each Guarantor are hereby made a part of this Guaranty to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein, and each Guarantor covenants and agrees to keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept or performed, strictly in accordance with their terms.

 

7.           EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

Each of the Events of Default in the Debenture, Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

 

8.           REMEDIES.

 

8.1.          Upon an Event of Default, as provided in the Debenture, Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, all liabilities and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall become immediately due and payable without demand or notice and, in addition to any other remedies provided by law or in equity, Buyer may:

 

8.1.1.          Enforce the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

8.1.2.          To the extent not prohibited by and in addition to any other remedy provided by law or equity, setoff against any of the Obligations any sum owed by Buyer in any capacity to each Guarantor whether due or not.

 

 6 

 

 

8.1.3.          Perform any covenant or agreement of the Guarantors in default hereunder (but without obligation to do so) and in that regard pay such money as may be required or as Buyer may reasonably deem expedient. Any costs, expenses or fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Buyer in connection with the foregoing shall be included in the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and shall be due and payable on demand, together with interest at the highest non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law, such interest to be calculated from the date of such advance to the date of repayment thereof. Any such action by Buyer shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of each Guarantor hereunder and shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Buyer.

 

8.2.          Settlement of any claim by Buyer against Company, whether in any Proceeding or not, and whether voluntary or involuntary, shall not reduce the amount due under the terms of this Guaranty, except to the extent of the amount actually paid by Company or any other obligated Person and legally retained by Buyer in connection with the settlement (unless otherwise provided for herein or therein).

 

9.           MISCELLANEOUS.

 

9.1.          Disclosure of Financial Information. Buyer is hereby authorized to disclose any financial or other information about each Guarantor to any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Buyer or to any present, future or prospective participant or successor in interest in the Debentures, provided that any such participant or successor in interest agree to maintain such information confidential and limit the distribution of such information only to such persons’ Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential). The information provided may include, without limitation, amounts, terms, balances, payment history, return item history and any financial or other information about each Guarantor.

 

9.2.          Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Buyer, as provided herein and in any other Transaction Document, shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued separately, successively or together, may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies conferred upon Buyer at law or in equity. The failure, at any one or more times, of Buyer to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. Buyer shall have the right to take any action it deems appropriate without the necessity of resorting to any collateral securing this Guaranty.

 

9.3.          Integration. This Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect thereto.

 

9.4.          Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. If Buyer retains the services of counsel by reason of a claim of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, or on account of any matter involving this Guaranty, or for examination of matters subject to Buyer’s approval under the Transaction Documents, all costs of suit and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by Buyer shall forthwith, on demand, become due and payable and shall be secured hereby.

 

 7 

 

 

9.5.          No Implied Waiver. Buyer shall not be deemed to have modified or waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such modification or waiver is in writing and signed by Buyer, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver in one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a waiver of or bar to such right or remedy on a subsequent event.

 

9.6.          Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any of the Transaction Documents, each Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the Obligations and waives notice of default, non-payment, partial payment, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, and all other notices to which each Guarantor might otherwise be entitled or which might be required by law to be given by Buyer. Each Guarantor waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws, to the extent permitted by law, and any other protection granted by law to guarantors, now or hereafter in effect with respect to any action or proceeding brought by Buyer against it. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives all claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and the right to assert against Buyer any defenses, set-offs, counterclaims, or claims that each Guarantor may have at any time against Company or any other party liable to Buyer.

 

9.7.          No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided herein, Guarantor and Buyer do not intend the benefits of this Guaranty to inure to any third party and no third party (including Company) shall have any status, right or entitlement under this Guaranty.

 

9.8.          Partial Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Guaranty shall not render any other provision invalid or unenforceable. In lieu of any invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

 

9.9.          Binding Effect. The covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and agreements contained in this Guaranty shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that this Guaranty cannot be assigned by each Guarantor without the prior written consent of Buyer, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by each Guarantor shall be void and of no effect with respect to the Buyer.

 

9.10.         Modifications. This Guaranty may not be supplemented, extended, modified or terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

 

 8 

 

 

9.11.         Sales or Participations. Buyer may from time to time sell or assign the Debentures, in whole or in part, or grant participations in the Debentures and/or the obligations evidenced thereby without the consent of Company or the Guarantors (other than as provided in the Purchase Agreement), provided, however, Buyer shall provide written notice to Company and the Guarantors of any such assignment or grant of participations. The holder of any such sale, assignment or participation, if the applicable agreement between Buyer and such holder so provides, shall be: (a) entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Buyer (to the extent of such holder’s interest or participation); and (b) deemed to hold and may exercise the rights of setoff or banker’s lien with respect to any and all obligations of such holder to the Guarantors (to the extent of such holder’s interest or participation), in each case as fully as though each Guarantor was directly indebted to such holder. Buyer may in its discretion give notice to the Guarantors of such sale, assignment or participation; however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect any of Buyer’s or such holder’s rights hereunder.

 

9.12.         MANDATORY FORUM SELECTION. Any dispute arising under, relating to, or in connection with THIS GUARANTY or related to any matter which is the subject of or incidental to THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE COLLATERAL (whether or not such claim is based upon breach of contract or tort) shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and/or federal courts located in Broward County, Florida; provided, however, BUYER may, at its sole option, elect to bring any action in any other jurisdiction. This provision is intended to be a “mandatory” forum selection clause and governed by and interpreted consistent with Florida law OR NEVADA LAW, AS APPLICABLE. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND CONSENT THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO EACH GUARANTOR, AS SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN THE MANNER PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OF COURT OR OTHERWISE.

 

9.13.          Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon Buyer or the Guarantors, to be effective, shall be delivered in the manner and addressed at the applicable address set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Each Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that notice to each of them may be sent and delivered to the Company, as required under the Purchase Agreement, and such notice to the Company shall be deemed valid and effective notice to each Guarantor hereunder.

 

9.14.         Governing Law. Except in the case of the Mandatory Forum Selection clause set forth in Section 9.12 hereof, this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Nevada without reference to conflict of laws principles.

 

9.15.         Joint and Several Liability. The word “Guarantor” or “Guarantors” shall mean all of the undersigned persons, if more than one, and their liability shall be joint and several. The liability of the Guarantors shall also be joint and several with the liability of any other guarantor under any other guaranty.

 

 9 

 

 

9.16.         Continuing Enforcement. If, after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Obligations, Buyer is compelled or reasonably agrees, for settlement purposes, to surrender such payment to any person or entity for any reason (including, without limitation, a determination that such payment is void or voidable as a preference or fraudulent conveyance, an impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds), then this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, and each Guarantor shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer with respect to the full amount so surrendered. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and shall remain effective notwithstanding the payment of the Obligations, the cancellation, conversion or redemption of the Debentures, this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, the release of any security interest, lien or encumbrance securing the Obligations or any other action which Buyer may have taken in reliance upon its receipt of such payment. Any cancellation, release or other such action shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon any payment of the Obligations having become final and irrevocable.

 

9.17.         WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, BROUGHT BY LENDER OR THE GUARANTORS ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT HERETO OR THERETO, SHALL BE TRIED ONLY BY A COURT AND NOT BY A JURY. LENDER AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY, AND WITH THE ADVICE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. FURTHER, LENDER AND THE GUARANTORS WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS SECTION IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS GUARANTY AND THAT LENDER WOULD NOT PURCHASE THE DEBENTURES IF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WERE NOT A PART OF THIS GUARANTY.
