12.               CUMULATIVE RIGHTS.  All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative.  No delay, failure or discontinuance of Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.

 

13.               WAIVERS AND CONSENTS OF LENDER.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Lender of any default, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing.

               

14.               DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS.  In disposing of Collateral, Lender may disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like.  Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral, may be applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by Lender, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by Lender toward the payment of the Obligations in such order of application as Lender may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Obligations, Lender may transfer all or any part of the Collateral and shall be fully discharged from all liability and responsibility with respect to such transferred Collateral, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers of Lender hereunder; but with respect to any Collateral not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and credit risks of such dispositions. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code.  Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time, and such sale may be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and such Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code. Each Grantor grants to Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all intellectual property rights of such Grantor for the purpose of: (a) completing the manufacture of any in-process materials following any Event of Default so that such materials become saleable Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously adopted by any Grantor for its own manufacturing; and (b) selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral following any Event of Default.

 

15.                 GRANTOR NOT AN OBLIGOR. If any Grantor is not a Borrower or Guarantor (an “Obligor”) under some or all of the Obligations:

 

                                (a)  such Grantor authorizes Lender, from time to time, without affecting such Grantor's obligations under this Agreement, to enter into an agreement with Obligor to change the interest rate on or renew the Obligations or other Indebtedness to Lender; accelerate, extend, compromise, or otherwise change the repayment terms or any other terms of the Obligations or such Indebtedness; receive and hold, exchange, enforce, waive, fail to perfect, substitute, or release Collateral, including collateral not originally covered by this Agreement; sell or apply any Collateral in any order; or release or substitute any borrower, guarantor or endorser of the Obligations or such Indebtedness, or other person.

                (b)  such Grantor waives any defense by reason of any Obligor's or any other person's defense, disability, or release from liabilityLender can exercise its rights against the Collateral even if any Obligor or any other person no longer is liable on the Obligations because of a statute of limitations or for other reasons.

 

                                (c)  such Grantor agrees that it is solely responsible for keeping itself informed as to the financial condition of the Obligors and of all circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment. Such Grantor waives any right it may have to require Lender to disclose to such Grantor any information which Lender may now or hereafter acquire concerning the financial condition of Obligors.

 

                                (d)  such Grantor waives all rights to notices of default or nonperformance by Obligors.  Such Grantor further waives all rights to notices of the existence or the creation of new Obligations by any Obligor and all rights to any other notices to any party liable on any of the Obligations.

 

                                (e)  Such Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that it will derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from the collective administration and availability of credit under the Obligations. Such Grantor agrees that Lender will not be required to inquire as to the disposition by any Obligor of funds disbursed by Lender.

 

                                (f)  Until all obligations to Lender under the Obligations have been paid in full and any commitments of Lender or facilities provided by Lender with respect to the Obligations have been terminated, such Grantor waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution (contractual, statutory or otherwise), including without limitation, any claim or right of subrogation under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any successor statute, which such Grantor may now or hereafter have against any Obligor with respect to the Obligations.  Such Grantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which  Lender now has or may hereafter have against any Obligor, and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lender.

 

                (g)  Such Grantor waives any right to require Lender to proceed against any Obligor or any other person; proceed against or exhaust any security; or pursue any other remedy. Further, such Grantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Grantor under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Grantor.

 

                (h)  In the event any amount paid to Lender on any Obligations or any interest in property transferred to Lender as payment on any Obligations is subsequently recovered from Lender in or as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or fraudulent conveyance proceeding, such Grantor shall be liable to Lender for the amounts so recovered up to the fair market value of the Collateral whether or not the Collateral has been released or the security interest terminated.  In the event the Collateral has been released or the security interest terminated, the fair market value of the Collateral shall be determined, at Lender's option, as of the date the Collateral was released, the security interest terminated, or said amounts were recovered.

 

16.               STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.  Until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and all commitments by Lender to extend credit under the Credit Agreement have been terminated, the power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to Lender shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the personal liability of any Grantor may have ceased, unless such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Obligations and Indebtedness secured by this Agreement.

 

17.               WAIVERS OF GRANTORS.  Each Grantor waives any right to require Lender to (a) proceed against any Grantor or any other Person, (b) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security from any Grantor or any other Person, (c) perform any obligation of any Grantor with respect to any Collateral; and (d) make any presentment or demand, or give any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any Collateral or Proceeds.  Each Grantor further waives any right to direct the application of payments or security for any Indebtedness of such Grantor or indebtedness of customers of such Grantor.

19.               FURTHER ASSURANCES.  At any time upon the request of Lender, each Grantor will execute or deliver to Lender any and all financing statements, security agreements, pledges, assignments, endorsements, and all other documents (the “Additional Documents”) that Lender may request and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, to create, perfect, and continue perfection or to better perfect Lender’s Liens in all of the assets of such Grantor (whether now owned or subsequently arising of acquired, tangible or intangible, real or personal), and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents.  If any Grantor refuses or fails to execute or deliver any requested Additional Documents, such Grantor authorizes Lender to execute such Additional Documents in such Grantor’s name, and authorizes Lender to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. Each Grantor acknowledges that no Grantor is authorized to file any financing statement or amendment with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.
