(iii) Grantors acknowledge and agree that the Secured Party shall have no duties with respect to the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Intellectual Property Licenses. Without limiting the generality of this Section 6(g), Grantors acknowledge and agree that Secured Party shall not be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Intellectual Property Licenses against any other Person, but a Secured Party may do so at its option from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith (including, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be for the sole account of Borrower and shall be chargeable to the Loan Account;

(iv) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee, file an application for the registration of any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office without giving Secured Party prior written notice thereof or any Patent or

Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office without giving Secured Party written notice thereof promptly thereafter. Promptly upon any such filing, each Grantor shall comply with Section 6(g)(i) hereof;

(h) Investment Related Property.

(i) If any Grantor shall receive or become entitled to receive any Pledged Interests (other than Pledged Interests of little or no value that are received from insolvent or troubled entities as a result of delinquent accounts) after the date hereof, it shall promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days of receipt thereof) deliver to Secured Party a duly executed Pledged Interests Addendum identifying such Pledged Interests;

(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all sums of money and property paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Related Property which are received by any Grantor shall be held by the Grantors in trust for the benefit of Secured Party segregated from such Grantor’s other property, and such Grantor shall deliver such property forthwith to Secured Party in the exact form received;

(iii) [intentionally omitted];

(iv) No Grantor shall make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Interests, Pledged Operating Agreement, or Pledged Partnership Agreement, or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Interests, in each case, that would materially adversely affect the rights of Secured Party or the value of the applicable Collateral other than pursuant to the Loan Documents;

(v) Each Grantor agrees that it will cooperate with Secured Party in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local, or foreign law in connection with the Security Interest on the Investment Related Property or any sale or transfer thereof;

(vi) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under any Pledged Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued each Grantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that the Pledged Interests issued pursuant to such agreement (A) are not and shall not be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) do not and will not constitute investment company securities, and (C) are not and will not be held by such Pledgor in a securities account. In addition, none of the Pledged Operating Agreements, the Pledged Partnership Agreements, or any other agreements governing any of the Pledged Interests issued under any Pledged Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, provide or shall provide that such Pledged Interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction;

(i) Real Property; Fixtures. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that upon the acquisition of any fee interest in Real Property it will promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days of acquisition) notify Secured Party of the acquisition of such Real Property and will grant to Secured Party, a priority mortgage (subject to Permitted Liens and Liens of the First Lien Agent) on each fee interest in Real Property now or hereafter owned by such Grantor and shall deliver such other documentation and opinions, in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, in connection with the grant of such mortgage as Secured Party shall request in its reasonable discretion, including title insurance policies, financing statements, fixture filings and environmental audits and such Grantor shall pay all recording costs, intangible taxes and other fees and costs (including reasonable attorneys fees and

expenses) incurred in connection therewith. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all of the Collateral shall remain personal property regardless of the manner of its attachment or affixation to real property.

(j) Transfers and Other Liens. Grantors shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Financing Agreement, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of any of Grantors, except for Permitted Liens and Liens of the First Lien Agent. The inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral shall not be deemed to constitute Secured Party’s consent to any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral except as expressly permitted in the Financing Agreement, Subordinated Note or this Agreement;

(k) Other Actions as to Any and All Collateral. Each Grantor shall promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days of acquiring or obtaining such Collateral) notify Secured Party in writing upon acquiring or otherwise obtaining any Collateral after the date hereof consisting of (i) Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, Intellectual Property Licenses, Investment Related Property, Chattel Paper (electronic, tangible or otherwise) (provided that such Grantor shall have no obligation to comply with this Section 6(k) with respect to Chattel Paper until the aggregate value of such Chattel Paper in which Grantors have an interest exceeds $100,000), documents (as defined in Article 9 of the Code) (provided that such Grantor shall have no obligation to comply with this Section 6(k) with respect to documents until the aggregate value of such documents in which Grantors have an interest exceeds $100,000), promissory notes (as defined in the Code) (provided that such Grantor shall have no obligation to comply with this Section 6(k) with respect to promissory notes until the aggregate value of such promissory notes in which Grantors have an interest exceeds $100,000), or instruments (as defined in the Code) (other than items deposited or to be deposited for collection) or (ii) any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral being or becoming evidenced after the date hereof by any Chattel Paper, documents, promissory notes, or instruments (other than items deposited or to be deposited for collection) and, in each such case upon the request of Secured Party and in accordance with Section 8 hereof, promptly execute such other documents, or if applicable, deliver such Chattel Paper, other documents or certificates evidencing any Investment Related Property in accordance with Section 6 hereof and do such other acts or things deemed reasonably necessary by Secured Party to protect Secured Party’s Security Interest therein; and

(l) Motor Vehicles. Upon request of Secured Party, with respect to all motor vehicles constituting Collateral and owned by any Grantor, Grantor shall deliver to Secured Party, a certificate of title for all such motor vehicles which fair market value individually or in aggregate exceeds $100,000 and shall cause those title certificates to be filed (with Secured Party’s lien noted thereon) in the appropriate state motor vehicle filing office.

(m) Pledged Notes. Without Secured Party’s prior written consent, no Grantor shall (i) waive, release, or forgive all or any portion of any obligation to pay principal or interest in respect of any of the Pledged Notes, (ii) agree to, assign or surrender its rights or interests under any of the Pledged Notes, (iii) terminate or cancel any of the Pledged Notes, or (iv) materially modify, change, supplement, or amend any of the Pledged Notes in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the value of the Pledged Notes.

7. Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this Agreement shall be read and construed with the other agreements referred to below in the manner so indicated.

(a) Patent, Trademark, Copyright Security Agreements. The provisions of the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, and Patent Security Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Copyright Security

Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, or the Patent Security Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Secured Party hereunder.

(b) Subordination Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the liens and security interests securing the obligations evidenced by this Agreement, the exercise of any right or remedy with respect thereto, the performance of the covenants hereunder, and certain of the rights of the holder hereof are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and between Ableco Finance LLC, as First Lien Agent, and Secured Party, as Junior Lender and the priority of the liens of the First Lien Agent. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Subordination Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Subordination Agreement shall govern and control.

8. Further Assurances.

(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral.

(b) Each Grantor authorizes the filing by Secured Party of financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such Grantor will execute and deliver to Secured Party such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or as Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

(c) Each Grantor authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments (i) describing the Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (ii) describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (iii) that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance. Each Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or amendments previously filed by Secured Party in any jurisdiction.

(d) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of Secured Party, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.

9. Secured Party’s Right to Perform Contracts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party (or its designee) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could.

10. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts or any other Collateral of such Grantor;

(b) to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor to that of Secured Party;

(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral;

(e) to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor;

(f) to use any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, advertising matter or other industrial or intellectual property rights, in advertising for sale and selling Inventory and other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and

(g) Secured Party shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Secured Party shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of Secured Party, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by Secured Party in aid of such enforcement.

To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section 10. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.

11. Secured Party May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors.

12. Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property.

13. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party or Secured Party’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral have been assigned to Secured Party, or that Secured Party has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral directly, and

any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the Subordinated Note.

14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Secured Party. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, Secured Party may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if Secured Party shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, Secured Party shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Secured Party has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

15. Voting Rights.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Secured Party may, at its option, and with 2 Business Days prior notice to any Grantor, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to Secured Party under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is Secured Party obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Secured Party duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints Secured Party, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner Secured Party deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect the rights of Secured Party or the value of the Pledged Interests or that would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Subordinated Note.

16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the Subordinated Note, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, Secured Party without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any of Grantors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense

and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days notice to any of Grantors 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 specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, other industrial or intellectual property or any property of a similar nature, whether owned by any of Grantors or with respect to which any of Grantors have rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements, as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party.

(c) Any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

(d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Secured Party shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Secured Party shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each of Grantors, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantors may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Secured Party.

17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Secured Party as provided for in this Agreement or the Subordinated Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or the Subordinated Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Secured Party, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Secured Party of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

18. Marshaling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede

the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

19. Indemnity and Expenses.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify Secured Party from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys fees) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including, enforcement of this Agreement) or the Subordinated Note, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Related Party seeking indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Subordinated Note and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

(b) Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to Secured Party all out of pocket costs and expenses which Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and Subordinated Note, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder or (iv) the failure by any of Grantors to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

20. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any of Grantors herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and each of Grantors to which such amendment applies.

21. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to Secured Party at its address specified in the Subordinated Note, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the Subordinated Note, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.

22. Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Subordinated Note. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Subordinated Note terminated in accordance with Section 9 thereof, (b) be binding upon each of Grantors, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Secured Party, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Subordinated Note in accordance with Section 9 thereof, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate and this Agreement and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Secured Party will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or the Subordinated Note, or any other instrument or

document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Secured Party nor any additional Loans made by any Secured Party to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Secured Party, shall release any of Grantors from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of the Subordinated Note. Secured Party shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Secured Party and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Secured Party would otherwise have had on any other occasion.

23. GOVERNING LAW. THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

24. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS; EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES, AND DOCUMENTS IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT BY THE MAILING (BY REGISTERED MAIL OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID) OR DELIVERING OF A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO SUCH GRANTOR, C/O BORROWER, AT THE BORROWER’S ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN THE SUBORDINATED NOTE. THE GRANTORS AGREE THAT A FINAL NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE SECURED PARTY TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY GRANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY GRANTOR HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR

COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH GRANTOR CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF SECURED PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SECURED PARTY OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SECURED PARTY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

26. New Subsidiaries. Each Grantor shall cause any new direct or indirect Subsidiary (whether by acquisition or creation) of any Grantor that becomes a Person comprising Borrower under the Subordinated Note shall execute and deliver in favor of Secured Party an instrument in the form of Annex 1 attached hereto. Upon the execution and delivery of Annex 1 by such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder.

27. Intentionally Omitted.

28. Miscellaneous.
