(a)   Monthly Payments. Commencing on the Payment Commencement Date and continuing thereafter until maturity or earlier prepayment in full, Company shall pay to Lender, on the 15th day of each month (or the next business day if such date is not a business day) (each a “Payment Date”), by wire transfer or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer to the Lender Account described on Schedule 2.4(b)(1) an amount equal to $49,275.00.

2.4 Security Interest. Company hereby assigns and grants to Lender, a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral.

Each Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to each Guarantor and all Restated Obligations whenever arising and regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in part thereof. As security for the performance of each Guarantor’s Guaranty obligations, each Guarantor hereby assigns and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral of such Guarantor (in each case, substituting the name of the applicable Guarantor for the “Company” on Schedule 11.1) subject to the same rights and obligations as set forth in Section 2.5.

2.6 Revival and Reinstatement of Indebtedness.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, without notice of any kind (including, without limitation, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate, presentment and demand or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Company) do any one or more of the following:

(a)   declare the Restated Obligations, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable;

(b)   exercise any and all other legal or equitable rights afforded by the Transaction Documents and the laws of the Applicable Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction as Lender shall deem appropriate; and

Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, with notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Lender may abandon any such proposed sale. Each Company Entity acknowledges that any private sales of Collateral effected by Lender may result in terms less favorable to a seller than public sales but each Company Entity agrees that such private sales shall nevertheless be deemed commercially reasonable.

Such disposition shall be established by affidavit of a representative of Lender, receipts or other reasonable method.

8.3 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative and nonexclusive and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under applicable law shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of Lender so long as any part of the Restated Obligations remain unsatisfied. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by Lender preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

8.4 Application of Proceeds. Any payments or proceeds received by Lender from the Collateral shall be applied to the payment of costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with performing, managing, maintaining or selling the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the balance, if any, shall be applied by Lender to payment of the Restated Obligations, in order of application as Lender shall reasonably determine.

8.5 Notice to Account Debtors. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of (i) any Event of Default under Section 7.3, or (ii) upon any other Event of Default, provided Lender has declared all Restated Obligations immediately due and payable, Lender may notify any or all account debtors of the existence of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and require such account debtors to pay or remit all sums due or to become due directly to Lender or its nominee.

8.6 Performance by Lender. If any Company Entity does not perform any covenant, duty or agreement in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, Lender may, at its option, perform or attempt to perform, such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Company Entity. In such event, any amount expended by Lender in such performance or attempted performance will be payable by Company to Lender on demand, will become part of the Restated Obligations and will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date of such expenditure by Lender until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Lender does not assume and will never have, except by express written consent of Lender, any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant, duty or agreement of any Company Entity. Lender will have (and is hereby granted in such event) a royalty-free license to use intellectual property rights of each Company Entity to complete production of, advertisement for, and disposition of any Collateral and Lender will have a license to enter into, occupy, and use each Company Entity’s premises and the Collateral without charge to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document.

8.7 Delegation of Duties and Rights. Lender may perform any of its duties or exercise any of its rights under the Transaction Documents by or through its officers, members of its Governing Body, employees, attorneys, agents or other representatives.

8.8 Expenditures by Lender. Each Company Entity shall indemnify Lender for all court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, other costs of collection and other sums spent by Lender pursuant to the exercise of any right (including, without limitation, any effort to collect amounts due or otherwise enforce this Agreement) provided herein. All such amounts will be payable to Lender on demand and will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date spent until the date repaid.

8.9 Lender’s Authority. Lender has the authority, but is not obligated to:

(a)   place on any chattel paper received as proceeds a notation or legend showing Lender’s security interest;

(b)   demand, collect, receive and receipt for, compound, compromise, settle and give acquittance for, and prosecute and discontinue any suits or proceedings in respect of any or all of the Collateral in the name of the Company Entities;

(d)   place upon each Company Entity’s books and records relating to the Collateral covered by the security interest granted hereby a notation or legend stating that such are subject to a security interest held by Lender.

8.10         Notification to Company. Lender may, but is under no obligation, to use reasonable efforts to notify Company of any of the foregoing actions by Lender in this Article 8; provided, however, the parties hereto expressly agree that the failure of Lender to provide notice shall not in any way affect or impair any action taken by Lender, it being understood that any absolute obligation of notice is hereby waived by Company and each other Company Entity.
