all documents in the name of Debtor or otherwise, deemed by Bank
4
as necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or
enforcement of its rights hereunder.
8. Payment of Premiums, Taxes, Charges, Liens and Assessments. Each Debtor agrees to pay,
prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and assessments against the
Collateral and Proceeds in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and upon the failure of Debtor to
do so, Bank at its option may pay any of them. Any such payments made by Bank shall be obligations
of Debtor to Bank, due and payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate
determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the
Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.
9. Events of Default. The occurrence or happening, at any time and from time to time, of any
Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall constitute a default hereunder (“Event
of Default”).
10. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and notice to Debtor that Bank
intends to enforce its security in the Collateral, Bank shall have all other rights, powers,
privileges and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code
or the equivalent body of law in the applicable jurisdiction or otherwise provided by law,
including without limitation, the right (a) to contact all persons obligated to Debtor on any
Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds
directly to Bank; and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral.
All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or
discontinuance of Bank 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 Bank 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 disposition,
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,
and after Bank notifies Debtor it intends to foreclose its security in the Collateral: (a) Debtor
will deliver to Bank from time to time, as requested by Bank, current lists of all Collateral and
Proceeds; (b) Debtor will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved by
Bank; (c) at Bank’s request, Debtor will assemble and deliver all Collateral and Proceeds, and
books and records pertaining thereto, to Bank at a reasonably convenient place designated by Bank;
and (d) Bank may, without notice to Debtor, enter onto Debtor’s premises and take possession of the
Collateral. With respect to any sale or other disposition by Bank of any Collateral subject to
this Agreement, Debtor hereby expressly grants to Bank the right to sell such Collateral using any
or all of Debtor’s trademarks, trade names, trade name rights and/or proprietary labels or marks.
Debtor further agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for
sale or other disposition.
5
11. Disposition of Collateral and Proceeds; Transfer of Indebtedness. In disposing of
Collateral hereunder, Bank 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 Bank to the payment of expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the foregoing,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by Bank
toward the payment of the Indebtedness in accordance with the other Loan Documents. Upon the
transfer of all or any part of the Indebtedness, Bank 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 Bank hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing so
transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so transferred, Bank shall retain
all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein given.
12. Miscellaneous. When there is more than one Debtor named herein: (a) the word “Debtor”
shall mean all or any one or more of them as the context requires; (b) the obligations of each
Debtor hereunder are joint and several; and (c) until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in
full, no Debtor shall have any right of subrogation or contribution, and each Debtor hereby waives
any benefit of or right to participate in any of the Collateral or Proceeds or any other security
now or hereafter held by Bank. Debtor hereby waives any right to require Bank to (i) proceed
against Debtor or any other person, (ii) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security
from Debtor or any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of Debtor with respect to any
Collateral or Proceeds, and (iv) make any presentment or demand, or give any notice of nonpayment
or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with
any Collateral or Proceeds. Debtor further waives any right to direct the application of payments
or security for any Indebtedness of Debtor or indebtedness of customers of Debtor.
13. Notices. All notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement must be in
writing, addressed to Bank at the address specified in any other loan documents entered into
between Debtor and Bank and to Debtor at the address of its chief executive office (or principal
residence, if applicable) 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: (a)

acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as

other communication is not received during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice
or communication shall be deemed to have been received at the opening of business on the next
Business Day for the recipient.
14. 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 Bank and Debtor.
