ITEM 1.01—ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On March 22, 2021, Investview, Inc., entered into Securities Purchase Agreements to purchase 100% of the business and/or outstanding equity interests of SSA Technologies LLC (“SSA”), an entity that owns and operates a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, and MPower Trading Systems LLC (“MPower”), the developer and owner of Prodigio, a proprietary software-based trading platform with applications within the brokerage industry. Pursuant to these agreements, Investview has agreed to acquire each of the SSA and MPower businesses for the issuance of non-voting membership interests in Investview wholly-owned subsidiaries that are in the future redeemable for, respectively, 242,000,000 and 565,000,000 Investview common shares on a one-for-one basis. In connection with the closing under the Agreement, the redeemable membership interests being issued to the SSA and MPower equity holders, as well as the resulting shares of Investview common stock issued upon the exercise of such redemption rights, will be issued as shares of restricted securities issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Following closing, Investview has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the membership interests.

 

These acquisitions are part of an overall strategy to expand the scope of Investview’s business to enable it to develop and operate a U.S. and non-U.S. brokerage and financial technologies services firm intended to deliver professional trading services catering primarily to a diverse base of self-directed (DIY) and active online brokerage investors, professional fund managers, buy-side professionals, registered investment advisors and other broker-dealers.

 

Each of SSA and MPower are controlled by persons who have an interest in Investview; with Joseph Cammarata, Investview’s Chief Executive Officer, being the majority owner of SSA Technologies, and James Bell and David Rothrock, two Investview directors, being the managers and majority owners of MPower. Following full disclosure of their interest in the transactions, the transactions were approved by the full Investview Board of Directors, including unanimous support by its two independent directors. The purchase price for each entity was determined through negotiations with the Investview directors without a conflicting interest in the transaction.

 

In addition to the usual and customary conditions, closing of the transactions is subject to:

 

  Resolution of certain governance rights regarding minority ownership of SSA Technologies;
  Completion of audited financial statements for both SSA and MPower in accordance with applicable SEC regulations;
  FINRA approval of the change of ownership of the SSA registered broker-dealer, LevelX Capital LLC;
  Extension of an existing lock-up agreement among certain of Investview’s shareholders.

 

It is contemplated that upon closing of the transactions, each of the equity owners of the respective businesses to be acquired, will enter into a Lock-Up Agreement with Investview in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.86 that imposes significant limitations upon the redemption of the exchangeable membership interests and sale of the resulting Investview common stock.

 

Commencing upon execution of the agreements and through the closing of the transactions, Investview will provide certain transition service arrangements to SSA and MPower. In connection with the transactions, Investview entered into a Working Capital Promissory Note with SSA under which SSA will advance up to $1,500,000 before the end of 2021. The note will be due and payable by January 31, 2022, will bear interest at the rate of 0.11% per annum, and will be secured by the pledge of 12,000,000 shares of Investview’s common stock.

 

Additionally, in conjunction with the transactions covered by this Report, the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2020 (the “DBR Purchase Agreement”), between Investview and DBR Capital, LLC (“DBR”) (also an affiliate of Mr. Bell and Mr. Rothrock) was amended. The DBR Purchase Agreement contemplated, among other things, the potential issuance of convertible notes to DBR by Investview to fund a newly formed broker-dealer entity. This provision was superseded by the transactions described in this Report, and the DBR Purchase Agreement was amended to reflect this change, as well as to include payment of the Working Capital Promissory Note in the allowed uses of the proceeds of the convertible notes issued thereunder.

 

The foregoing information is intended as a summary of the reported transaction and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreements which are filed as Exhibits 10.80 through 10.86 to this Report and incorporated herein by reference

The execution, delivery and performance of this Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (including the issuance and sale of the Conversion Shares) and compliance by Investview with its obligations hereunder do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or result in the creation or imposition of, any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any properties or assets of Investview or any subsidiary pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments, or require notice to or consent of any party to any agreement or commitment to which Investview is a party that has not been obtained, nor will such action result in any violation of (i) the provisions of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational document of Investview or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any Governmental Entity.

 

(k) Absence of Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the employees of Investview or any of its subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of Investview, is imminent, and Investview is not aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its or any subsidiary’s principal suppliers, manufacturers, customers or contractors, which, in either case, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8

 

 

(l) Absence of Proceedings. Except as set forth on Disclosure Schedule 4(l), there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any Governmental Entity now pending or, to the knowledge of Investview, threatened, against or affecting Investview or any of its subsidiaries, which would reasonably be expected to result in a liability in excess of $50,000, or which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Purchase Agreement or the performance by Investview of its obligations hereunder. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or, to Investview’s knowledge, threatened involving the prior employment of any of Investview’s employees, their use in connection with Investview’s business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. Investview is not a party or, to its knowledge, subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality.

 

(m) Absence of Further Requirements. No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any Governmental Entity, and no notice under, or consent pursuant to, any Agreements and Instruments, is necessary or required for the performance by Investview of its obligations hereunder, in connection with the offering, issuance, or sale of the Securities hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Agreement, except such as have been already obtained.

 

(n) Possession of Licenses and Permits.

(d) Purchaser shall make the monthly advances pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note as and when set forth therein.

20

 

 

(v) such Transfer receives prior written approval by the Board of Directors of Investview, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Such indemnifying Party shall solely conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise; provided, however, that (i) no settlement or compromise shall be entered into or agreed to without the other Party’s prior approval and (ii) the other Party has the right to participate, at its own expense, (which includes hiring of its’ own attorneys and the indemnifying Party and its’ attorneys shall fully cooperate with the indemnified Party and its’ attorneys) in the defense and/or settlement of any such claim or action in order to protect its own interests.

APPENDIX A

 

RISK FACTORS

 

AN INVESTMENT IN THE INTERESTS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK; EACH OF THE COMPANY AND INVESTVIEW IS A START-UP VENTURE WITH LITTLE OR NO ASSETS, REVENUES OR OPERATIONS; THERE ARE OR MAY BE COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THE MARKETPLACE FOR EACH OF THE COMPANY’S AND INVESTVIEW’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES; EACH OF THE COMPANY AND INVESTVIEW MAY NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE TO REACH ITS GROWTH OBJECTIVES AND/OR MEET ITS EXPENSES AND THE UNITS MAY NEVER HAVE ANY VALUE. AMONG OTHER RISKS, PURCHASER SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING, IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE RISK FACTORS INCLUDED IN INVESTVIEW’S 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2020, AND IN THE 10-QS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, AND DECEMBER 31, 2020:

 

(a) Development Stage of Company and Investview; Uncertainty of Future Revenues. Each of the Company and Investview is a development stage company and has a limited operating history. As a development stage company, the business of each of the Company and Investview is subject to the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays normally associated with business ventures in the development stage, which historically have a high failure rate, and there can be no assurance that each of the Company and Investview will be viable or profitable in the future. The purchase of the Interests, as any investment in any development stage company, involves a high degree of risk, including, but not limited to, the substantial risk of loss of Purchaser’s entire investment in each of the Company and Investview.

 

(b) Lack of Liquidity. A purchase of the Interests should be considered a long-term investment. There is no public market for the Interests, nor is one expected to develop as a result of this Purchase. Purchaser must be prepared to hold the Interests indefinitely and should not expect to be able to liquidate this investment even in an emergency or for any other reason.

 

(c) Unproven Market Acceptance. Although each of the Company and Investview believes there is a need for the products and services proposed to be offered by each of the Company and Investview, its management is unable to guarantee (i) the level of market acceptance the products and services will achieve and (ii) the number of customers willing to pay for each of the Company’s and Investview’s products and services.

 

(d) Need for Additional Funds; Future Dilution. Each of the Company and Investview may, and will likely, require additional rounds of financing in order to bring the its products and services to market. Each of the Company’s and Investview’s capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of their respective development plans, marketing and sales efforts. To the extent that the funds generated by this offering together with existing resources and any future earnings or credit facilities are insufficient to fund the each of the Company’s and Investview’s respective activities, each of the Company and Investview may adversely affect the current members by diluting the their interests in each of the Company and Investview. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to each of the Company and Investview. If adequate funds are not available, each of the Company and Investview may have to reduce developing, manufacturing and marketing activities and services, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s and/or Investview’s business, or discontinue operations entirely.

 

 

 

 

(e) No Distributions. To date, neither the Company nor Investview has made any distributions to its members and no assurance exists or can be given that either the Company or Investview will make any distributions in the foreseeable future. Each of the Company and Investview currently intends to retain future earnings for use in its business and, therefore, does not anticipate making any distributions in the foreseeable future. Future distributions, if any, will depend, among other things, on each of the Company’s and Investview’s respective results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition and on such other factors as the Company’s managers may, in their discretion, consider relevant.

 

(f) Projections. Any financial projections of the Company or Investview and projections relating to the future market for the Company’s or Investview’s potential products provided to Purchaser are based upon current assumptions as to future events and conditions which each of the Company and Investview believes to be reasonable as of the date thereof, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. The projections have been prepared by the officers respective of the Company and Investview and no independent expert rendered on opinion as to the reasonableness of the projections or the assumption on which they are based. The assumptions may prove to be incomplete or incorrect and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Because of such uncertainties, and the other risks outlined herein, the actual results of each of the Company’s and Investview’s future operations can be expected to be different from those projected, and such difference may be material and adverse. Potential investors should consider the projections in light of the underlying assumptions, reach their own conclusions as to the reasonableness of those assumptions and evaluate the projections on the basis of that analysis.

 

(g) Determination of Purchase Price. There have been no professional opinions concerning the value of a membership interest in each of the Company and Investview, the value of the assets of each of the Company and Investview, the net worth of each of the Company and Investview or the projected financial information of each of the Company and Investview. The purchase price for the Interests and Consideration has been arbitrarily determined by each of the Company and Investview. The purchase price for the Interests is not necessarily indicative of their value. It is entirely possible that the Interests, if transferable, could not be resold for the purchase price, or for any other amount.

APPENDIX A

 

RISK FACTORS

 

AN INVESTMENT IN THE INTERESTS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK; EACH OF THE COMPANY AND INVESTVIEW IS A START-UP VENTURE WITH LITTLE OR NO ASSETS, REVENUES OR OPERATIONS; THERE ARE OR MAY BE COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THE MARKETPLACE FOR EACH OF THE COMPANY’S AND INVESTVIEW’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES; EACH OF THE COMPANY AND INVESTVIEW MAY NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE TO REACH ITS GROWTH OBJECTIVES AND/OR MEET ITS EXPENSES AND THE UNITS MAY NEVER HAVE ANY VALUE. AMONG OTHER RISKS, EACH PURCHASER SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING, IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE RISK FACTORS INCLUDED IN INVESTVIEW’S 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2020, AND IN THE 10-QS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, AND DECEMBER 31, 2020:

 

(a) Development Stage of Company and Investview; Uncertainty of Future Revenues. Each of the Company and Investview is a development stage company and has a limited operating history. As a development stage company, the business of each of the Company and Investview is subject to the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays normally associated with business ventures in the development stage, which historically have a high failure rate, and there can be no assurance that each of the Company and Investview will be viable or profitable in the future. The purchase of the Interests, as any investment in any development stage company, involves a high degree of risk, including, but not limited to, the substantial risk of loss of such Purchaser’s entire investment in each of the Company and Investview.

 

(b) Lack of Liquidity. A purchase of the Interests should be considered a long-term investment. There is no public market for the Interests, nor is one expected to develop as a result of this Purchase. Each Purchaser must be prepared to hold the Interests indefinitely and should not expect to be able to liquidate this investment even in an emergency or for any other reason.

 

(c) Unproven Market Acceptance. Although each of the Company and Investview believes there is a need for the products and services proposed to be offered by each of the Company and Investview, its management is unable to guarantee (i) the level of market acceptance the products and services will achieve and (ii) the number of customers willing to pay for each of the Company’s and Investview’s products and services.

 

(d) Need for Additional Funds; Future Dilution. Each of the Company and Investview may, and will likely, require additional rounds of financing in order to bring the its products and services to market. Each of the Company’s and Investview’s capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of their respective development plans, marketing and sales efforts. To the extent that the funds generated by this offering together with existing resources and any future earnings or credit facilities are insufficient to fund the each of the Company’s and Investview’s respective activities, each of the Company and Investview may adversely affect the current members by diluting the their interests in each of the Company and Investview. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to each of the Company and Investview. If adequate funds are not available, each of the Company and Investview may have to reduce developing, manufacturing and marketing activities and services, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s and/or Investview’s business, or discontinue operations entirely.

 

2

 

 

(e) No Distributions. To date, neither the Company nor Investview has made any distributions to its members and no assurance exists or can be given that either the Company or Investview will make any distributions in the foreseeable future. Each of the Company and Investview currently intends to retain future earnings for use in its business and, therefore, does not anticipate making any distributions in the foreseeable future. Future distributions, if any, will depend, among other things, on each of the Company’s and Investview’s respective results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition and on such other factors as the Company’s managers may, in their discretion, consider relevant.

 

(f) Projections. Any financial projections of the Company or Investview and projections relating to the future market for the Company’s or Investview’s potential products provided to each Purchaser are based upon current assumptions as to future events and conditions which each of the Company and Investview believes to be reasonable as of the date thereof, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. The projections have been prepared by the officers respective of the Company and Investview and no independent expert rendered on opinion as to the reasonableness of the projections or the assumption on which they are based. The assumptions may prove to be incomplete or incorrect and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Because of such uncertainties, and the other risks outlined herein, the actual results of each of the Company’s and Investview’s future operations can be expected to be different from those projected, and such difference may be material and adverse. Potential investors should consider the projections in light of the underlying assumptions, reach their own conclusions as to the reasonableness of those assumptions and evaluate the projections on the basis of that analysis.

 

(g) Determination of Purchase Price. There have been no professional opinions concerning the value of a membership interest in each of the Company and Investview, the value of the assets of each of the Company and Investview, the net worth of each of the Company and Investview or the projected financial information of each of the Company and Investview. The purchase price for the Interests and Consideration has been arbitrarily determined by each of the Company and Investview. The purchase price for the Interests is not necessarily indicative of their value. It is entirely possible that the Interests, if transferable, could not be resold for the purchase price, or for any other amount.

APPENDIX A

 

RISK FACTORS

 

AN INVESTMENT IN THE INTERESTS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK; EACH OF THE COMPANY AND INVESTVIEW IS A START-UP VENTURE WITH LITTLE OR NO ASSETS, REVENUES OR OPERATIONS; THERE ARE OR MAY BE COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THE MARKETPLACE FOR EACH OF THE COMPANY’S AND INVESTVIEW’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES; EACH OF THE COMPANY AND INVESTVIEW MAY NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE TO REACH ITS GROWTH OBJECTIVES AND/OR MEET ITS EXPENSES AND THE UNITS MAY NEVER HAVE ANY VALUE. AMONG OTHER RISKS, PURCHASER SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING, IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE RISK FACTORS INCLUDED IN INVESTVIEW’S 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2020, AND IN THE 10-QS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, AND DECEMBER 31, 2020:

 

(a) Development Stage of Company and Investview; Uncertainty of Future Revenues. Each of the Company and Investview is a development stage company and has a limited operating history. As a development stage company, the business of each of the Company and Investview is subject to the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays normally associated with business ventures in the development stage, which historically have a high failure rate, and there can be no assurance that each of the Company and Investview will be viable or profitable in the future. The purchase of the Interests, as any investment in any development stage company, involves a high degree of risk, including, but not limited to, the substantial risk of loss of Purchaser’s entire investment in each of the Company and Investview.

 

(b) Lack of Liquidity. A purchase of the Interests should be considered a long-term investment. There is no public market for the Interests, nor is one expected to develop as a result of this Purchase. Purchaser must be prepared to hold the Interests indefinitely and should not expect to be able to liquidate this investment even in an emergency or for any other reason.

 

(c) Unproven Market Acceptance. Although each of the Company and Investview believes there is a need for the products and services proposed to be offered by each of the Company and Investview, its management is unable to guarantee (i) the level of market acceptance the products and services will achieve and (ii) the number of customers willing to pay for each of the Company’s and Investview’s products and services.

 

(d) Need for Additional Funds; Future Dilution. Each of the Company and Investview may, and will likely, require additional rounds of financing in order to bring the its products and services to market. Each of the Company’s and Investview’s capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of their respective development plans, marketing and sales efforts. To the extent that the funds generated by this offering together with existing resources and any future earnings or credit facilities are insufficient to fund the each of the Company’s and Investview’s respective activities, each of the Company and Investview may adversely affect the current members by diluting the their interests in each of the Company and Investview. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to each of the Company and Investview. If adequate funds are not available, each of the Company and Investview may have to reduce developing, manufacturing and marketing activities and services, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s and/or Investview’s business, or discontinue operations entirely.

 

2

 

 

(e) No Distributions. To date, neither the Company nor Investview has made any distributions to its members and no assurance exists or can be given that either the Company or Investview will make any distributions in the foreseeable future. Each of the Company and Investview currently intends to retain future earnings for use in its business and, therefore, does not anticipate making any distributions in the foreseeable future. Future distributions, if any, will depend, among other things, on each of the Company’s and Investview’s respective results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition and on such other factors as the Company’s sole member may, in its discretion, consider relevant.

 

(f) Projections. Any financial projections of the Company or Investview and projections relating to the future market for the Company’s or Investview’s potential products provided to Purchaser are based upon current assumptions as to future events and conditions which each of the Company and Investview believes to be reasonable as of the date thereof, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. The projections have been prepared by the officers respective of the Company and Investview and no independent expert rendered on opinion as to the reasonableness of the projections or the assumption on which they are based. The assumptions may prove to be incomplete or incorrect and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Because of such uncertainties, and the other risks outlined herein, the actual results of each of the Company’s and Investview’s future operations can be expected to be different from those projected, and such difference may be material and adverse. Potential investors should consider the projections in light of the underlying assumptions, reach their own conclusions as to the reasonableness of those assumptions and evaluate the projections on the basis of that analysis.

 

(g) Determination of Purchase Price. There have been no professional opinions concerning the value of a membership interest in each of the Company and Investview, the value of the assets of each of the Company and Investview, the net worth of each of the Company and Investview or the projected financial information of each of the Company and Investview. The purchase price for the Interests and Consideration has been arbitrarily determined by each of the Company and Investview. The purchase price for the Interests is not necessarily indicative of their value. It is entirely possible that the Interests, if transferable, could not be resold for the purchase price, or for any other amount.

(c) The commencement by Maker of a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal of state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation, or other similar law, where the consent by Maker to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator of Maker or for any substantial part of their property, or making by Maker of any assignment for the benefit of creditors or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or the taking of any action by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

(b) Whether or not the entire unpaid principal balance is declared to be due, the interest rate on the unpaid principal balance shall be the then applicable rate provided in this Note plus 2% from the date on which the Event of Default occurs until the date on which all defaults are cured or the entire unpaid principal balance and all other sums due under this Note are actually received by Payee.

10. Waivers.

The Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns and grants a security interest in the Collateral to the Pledgee, as security for all indebtedness and obligations evidenced by the Promissory Note and for all substitutions, amendments, replacements, renewals and exchanges therefor (the “Indebtedness”). As used herein, the “Collateral” means the Pledged Equity, all money or other property paid or distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Equity, including payment of proceeds from the sale, liquidation, repurchase or other disposition thereof, and all amounts (if any) withdrawn by Pledgor from Pledgor’s capital account with the Pledgee, together with all income, dividends, interest and distributions thereon, increases therein, substitutions and exchanges therefor, and proceeds thereof. If any of the Collateral is evidenced by certificates, Pledgor shall promptly deliver such certificates to Pledgee accompanied by proper assignments separate from certificates in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Pledgee, duly executed in blank by Pledgor. Pledgor shall and hereby does permit Pledgee to file UCC Financing Statements naming Pledgor as debtor and Pledgee as secured party with respect to the Collateral in any jurisdiction reasonably required by Pledgee (including with any applicable secretary of state’s office or other applicable recording office), in form and substance satisfactory to Pledgee, and without the requirement of Pledgor’s signature.

 

 
 

 

2.2 Certificated Collateral. In addition to anything contained in Section 2.1 hereof, if any Collateral consisting of securities is not certificated or becomes an uncertificated security, Pledgor shall promptly notify Pledgee thereof and shall promptly take all actions required at any time upon Pledgee’s request to perfect the security interest and pledge in favor of Pledgee under applicable law (including, in any event, delivery of physical possession of all certificates to Pledgee (if applicable), and take any other action required or appropriate under this Agreement or the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware or equivalent provisions of any other applicable jurisdiction (the “UCC”)). Pledgor further agrees to promptly take such actions as Pledgee deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing and to permit Pledgee to exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

3 VOTING, ETC. Unless and until an Event of Default occurs, Pledgor shall be entitled to vote, if applicable, and exercise any voting or other consensual rights (or managerial rights, if applicable) pertaining to any and all of the Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or any action taken by Pledgor which would violate any of the terms of this Agreement or the Promissory Note or any other instrument or agreement relating to the Secured Obligations, or which would have the effect of impairing the positions or security interests of the Pledgee in the Collateral or which would effect actions prohibited under the terms of the Promissory Note. All such rights of Pledgor to vote shall cease if an Event of Default occurs and such an Event of Default is not waived the Pledgee.

 

4 PAYMENTS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless and until an Event of Default occurs, all cash dividends or distributions payable in respect of the Collateral shall be paid to the Pledgor; provided, however if an Event of Default occurs and unless and until such event has been waived by Pledgee, all cash dividends and distributions payable in respect of the Collateral shall be paid to the Pledgee for application to satisfy the Obligations. The Pledgee shall be entitled to receive directly, and to retain as part of the Collateral:

 

(a) all other or additional securities or investment property, or rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing, or property (other than cash) paid or distributed by way of dividend in respect of the Collateral;

 

(b) all other or additional securities, investment property or property (including cash) paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral by way of split, spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar rearrangement; and

 

(c) all other or additional securities, investment property or property which may be paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral by reason of any consolidation, merger, exchange, dividend (other than any cash dividends permitted to be paid to Pledgor as specifically provided above) split, or distribution, conveyance of assets, liquidation or similar reorganization or other disposition of Collateral.

 

If at any time Pledgor shall obtain or possess any of the foregoing Collateral described in this Section, Pledgor shall be deemed to hold such Collateral in trust for Pledgee and Pledgor shall promptly surrender and deliver such Collateral to Pledgee.

 

2
 

 

5 ASSIGNMENT OF COLLATERAL UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. In the event an Event of Default occurs, Pledgee shall be entitled, without limitation, to exercise the following rights, which Pledgor hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable:

 

(a) to take full right and title in and to the Pledged Equity; and

 

(b) generally, to take all such other commercially reasonable action under the circumstances as Pledgee in its reasonable discretion may determine as incidental or conducive to any of the matters or powers mentioned in the foregoing provisions of this Section and which Pledgee may or can do lawfully and to use the name of Pledgor for the purposes aforesaid and in any proceedings arising therefrom.

 

Pledgor acknowledges that upon an Event of Default it will forfeit and surrender to Pledgee the Pledged Equity and shall fully assign to Pledgee all other Collateral, and further acknowledges that such remedy is not a penalty but is an agreed and reasonable estimate by the parties of the damages suffered by Pledgee due to the failure of Pledgor to satisfy its obligations pursuant to the Promissory Note.

 

6 REMEDIES, ETC., CUMULATIVE. Each right, power and remedy of Pledgee provided for in this Agreement, the Promissory Note or any other security agreement, mortgage, guaranty now or hereafter existing, at law, in equity or by statute 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 Pledgee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or the Promissory Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Pledgee of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of Pledgee to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof.

 

7 COSTS AND EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a) Pledgor shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Pledgee actually incurred in connection with the administration of and in connection with the preservation of rights under, and enforcement of, and any renegotiation or restructuring of this Agreement and any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Pledgee).

 

(b) Pledgor shall pay and hold Pledgee harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement and save Pledgee harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay any such taxes, charges or levies; and indemnify, pay and defend Pledgee and each of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, attorneys, agents, successors and affiliates (“Indemnified Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, suits, penalties, judgments, claims, or damages, and reasonable documented costs and expenses, in each case, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party (whether or not any Indemnified Party is designated a party thereto) arising out of or by reason of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any investigation, litigation or other proceeding related to this Agreement), including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, that any documentation with respect to attorney fees shall be limited to summary accounting data and shall not include any description or detail of work performed or communications taken. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Pledgor shall not be responsible to any Indemnified Party hereunder for any costs, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses which result from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined in a non-appealable judicial proceeding by a court of competent jurisdiction (in which such Indemnified Party and Pledgee has had an opportunity to be heard). All indemnities set forth herein (and Borrowers’ obligations under this Section) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making and repayment of the Secured Obligations, and any termination of this Agreement. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Pledgor under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

8 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Pledgor agrees that, at any time and from time to time, Pledgor shall join with Pledgee in executing and, will file and refile (or authorizes Pledgee to file) under the UCC such financing statements, amendment statements, continuation statements and other documents in such offices as Pledgee may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate and wherever required or permitted by law in order to perfect and preserve Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral, and hereby authorizes Pledgee to file financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Pledgor, and agrees to do such further acts and things and to promptly execute and deliver to Pledgee such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as Pledgee may reasonably require or deem reasonably advisable to carry into effect the purpose of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto Pledgee its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

11.5 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by Pledgor of this Agreement, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof by Pledgor nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will conflict with or result in any breach of, its charter documents, or any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under any agreement or other instrument to which Pledgor is a party.

 

11.6 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Pledgor’s knowledge, threatened in writing against or involving Pledgor’s interest in the Collateral before any court with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ability of Pledgor to perform any of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder.

12.6 Further Identification of Collateral. Pledgor will furnish to Pledgee from time to time such reports and certifications in connection with the Collateral as Pledgee may reasonably request from time to time.

 

12.7 Continuous Perfection. Pledgor will not change Pledgor’s name, in any manner which would reasonably be expected to make any financing or continuation statement filed hereunder seriously misleading (within the meaning of any applicable provision of Article 9 of the UCC) unless Pledgor shall have given Pledgee at least ten (10) days prior written notice thereof and shall have taken all action necessary or reasonably requested by Pledgee to amend such financing statement or continuation statement so that it is not seriously misleading. Pledgor will not change Pledgor’s state of organization or principal place of business and chief executive office unless Pledgor shall have given Pledgee at least ten (10) days prior written notice thereof and shall have taken such action as is reasonably requested by Pledgee to cause the security interest of Pledgee in the Collateral to continue to be perfected.
