(c)
Breach of Value Requirements. Secured Party is not obligated to permit an advance when value requirements are not met or if permitted would not be met.

(d)
Excess Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral in excess of the value requirements is available for withdrawal at Grantor’s request to Secured Party, free and clear of Secured Party’s security interest therein. Secured Party shall be afforded such reasonable time, information and cooperation as may be necessary to accommodate Grantor requests for withdrawal of excess Collateral. Under no circumstances shall any Intermediary be authorized to release Collateral, or allow withdrawals of excess Collateral, without the express written consent of Secured Party.

 

(e)
Rule 144/145 Collateral. Grantor shall not sell or otherwise transfer shares of securities of the issuer of any Collateral that may be subject to the provisions of SEC Rule 144 or 145 without Secured Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall be given in Secured Party’s sole discretion.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and in continuing, and provided all value requirements would continue to be met, Grantor, or any party authorized by Grantor to act with respect to the Securities Account, may receive payments of interest and/or cash dividends earned on Collateral in the Securities Account. Without Secured Party's prior written consent, except as permitted by the preceding sentence or paragraph 4(d), neither Grantor nor any party other than Secured Party may (a) withdraw or receive any distribution of any Collateral from the Securities Account, or (b) trade Collateral in the Securities Account.

 

6. DEFINITIONS RELATED TO MARGIN VALUE. As used herein:

 

"Fair Market Value" or “FMV” means, as to any Collateral that is uncertificated, the per share or per unit closing sale price quoted or reported at the close of the immediately preceding business day in the Securities Account, and, as to any Collateral that is certificated, the per share or per unit closing sale price quoted or reported at the close of the immediately preceding business day were such share or unit held in uncertificated form in a securities account at Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC, trading as Wells Fargo Advisors (or in either case if not available, such other customary publication of securities closing sale prices as Secured Party may reasonably elect to reference) multiplied by the number of shares or units of like Collateral. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the Collateral is the total of all such Fair Market Values so determined plus the amount of cash Collateral. If Fair Market Value cannot be determined by the foregoing procedure, then Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, by reference to the notional amount of such assets or to public information and procedures

To effect the purposes of this Agreement or otherwise upon instructions of Grantor, or any of them, Secured Party may cause any Collateral and/or Proceeds to be transferred to Secured Party's name or the name of Secured Party's nominee. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any or all Collateral and/or Proceeds consisting of securities may be registered, without notice, in the name of Secured Party or its nominee, and thereafter Secured Party or its nominee may exercise, without notice, all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the shareholders of the issuer thereof, any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription, or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Collateral and/or Proceeds, all as if it were the absolute owner thereof. The foregoing shall include, without limitation, the right of Secured Party or its nominee to exchange, at its discretion, any and all Collateral and/or Proceeds upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the issuer thereof or Secured Party of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any shares of the Collateral and/or Proceeds, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral and/or Proceeds with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may determine.

14. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall have all rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code or the Business and Commerce Code of the jurisdiction identified in Section 22 below or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a) to contact all persons obligated to Grantor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to Secured Party, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral. In addition to any other remedies set forth in this Agreement, Grantor authorizes Secured Party to engage in “electronic self-help” as defined in and in accordance with applicable law. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Secured Party 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 thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Secured Party of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. 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. While an Event of Default exists: (a) Grantor will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved by Secured Party; (b) Secured Party may appropriate the Collateral and apply all Proceeds toward repayment of the Indebtedness secured hereby in such order of application as Secured Party may from time to time elect; (c) Secured Party may, at any time, liquidate any time deposits pledged to Secured Party hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to payment of the Indebtedness secured, whether or not said time deposits have matured and notwithstanding the fact that such liquidation may give rise to penalties for early withdrawal of funds, (d) Secured Party may take any action with respect to the Collateral contemplated by any control, custodial or other similar agreement then in effect among Secured Party, Grantor and Intermediary; and (e) at Secured Party's request, Grantor will assemble and deliver all books and records pertaining to the Collateral or Proceeds to Secured Party at a reasonably convenient place designated by Secured Party. For any Collateral or Proceeds consisting of securities, Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay a disposition of any portion thereof for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under any applicable state or Federal law, even if the issuer thereof would agree to do so. Grantor further agrees that Secured Party shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.

 

15. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In disposing of Collateral hereunder, Secured Party may disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by Secured Party toward the payment of the Indebtedness secured hereby in such order of application as Secured Party may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Indebtedness secured hereby,

 

C-750SA_ALL.docx (08/22)

-9-

 

US_ACTIVE\123471302\V-2


 

Secured Party may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers of Secured Party hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so transferred, Secured Party shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein given.

 

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

 

17. MISCELLANEOUS. Grantor hereby waives any right to require Secured Party to (i) proceed against Grantor or any other person, (ii) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security from Grantor or any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of Grantor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (iv) make any presentment or demand, or give any notices of any kind, including without limitation, any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate or notice of acceleration hereunder or in connection with any Collateral or Proceeds. Grantor further waives any right to direct the application of payments or security for any Indebtedness of Grantor or indebtedness of customers of Grantor.

 

18. NOTICES. (a) All notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement must be in writing, addressed to Secured Party at the address specified in any other loan documents entered into between Grantor and Secured Party and to Grantor at the address of its chief executive office specified below or to such other address as any party may designate by written notice to each other party, and shall be deemed to have been given or made as follows: (i) if personally delivered, upon delivery; (ii) if sent by mail, upon the earlier of the date of receipt or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class and postage prepaid; and (iii) if sent by telecopy or overnight courier service, upon receipt.

be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless Secured Party otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or other communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

 

19. COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. Grantor shall pay to Secured Party promptly upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reasonable and documented attorneys' fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of Secured Party's in-house counsel to the extent permissible), expended or incurred by Secured Party in connection with (a) the perfection and preservation of the Collateral or Secured Party's interest therein, and (b) the realization, enforcement and exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred by this Agreement, whether or not suit is brought or foreclosure is commenced, and where suit is brought, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Secured Party or any other person) relating to Grantor or in any way affecting any of the Collateral or Secured Party's ability to exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, reasonable attorneys’ fees shall not exceed the amount permitted by law. Whenever in this Agreement Grantor is obligated to pay for the attorneys' fees of Secured Party, or the phrase "reasonable attorneys' fees" or a similar phrase is used, it shall be Grantor's obligation to pay the attorneys' fees actually incurred or allocated, at standard hourly rates, without regard to any statutory interpretation, which shall not apply, Grantor hereby waiving the application of any such statute.

 

20. SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNS; AMENDMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties, and may be amended or modified only in writing signed by Secured Party and Grantor.
