without limitation, the proceeds of all insurance policies covering all or any
part of such items of Collateral.
2. Title to Collateral. The Pledgor warrants and represents that
(i) it is the lawful owner of the Collateral, and has the full right, power, and
authority to convey, transfer, and grant the security title and security
interest in the Collateral granted herein to the Lender; (ii) all licenses

of Default and foreclosure by the Lender, the Lender shall have all rights of
the Pledgor to any Collateral licensed to the Pledgor or licensed by the

such further assurances of title as may be required by the Lender; (ii) deliver
and execute or cause to be delivered and executed, in form and content

filing or recording; and (iii) do such other acts as the Lender may request in
order to perfect, preserve, maintain, or continue the perfection of the Lender's
security interest in the Collateral and/or its priority.
4. Accounts, etc. Until such time as the Lender shall notify the
Pledgor in writing of the revocation of such power and authority, the Pledgor,
as agent for the Lender, will, at its own expense, diligently collect, as and
when due, all amounts owing under the Accounts, including the taking of such
action with respect to such collection as the Lender may requests from time to
time, and to hold in trust and segregate for the Lender all funds received from

(whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or
evidenced thereby. After an Event of Default or upon request of the Lender, the
Pledgor will, at its own expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the
Accounts to make payments to the Lender and will hold in trust and immediately
forward to the Lender all payments received by the Pledgor in the form received,
with all necessary endorsements thereon for collection by the Lender.
5. Transfer and Other Liens. The Pledgor will not sell, lease,
transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part hereof,
without the prior written consent of the Lender and will not permit any lien,
security interest, or other encumbrance to attach to the Collateral, or any part
thereof, other than those in favor of the Lender or those permitted by the
Lender in writing, except that the Pledgor may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in the absence of an Event of Default hereunder or notice by the
Lender to the Pledgor under Section 6 hereof, collect its Accounts and Chattel
Paper and sell its Inventory.
6. Financial Statements, Books, and Records. The Pledgor will:
(i) at all times maintain, in accordance with generally accepted accounting

relating to the Collateral; (ii) furnish to the Lender promptly upon request,
certified by an officer of the Pledgor and in the form and content and at the

inspect, and make extracts from and photocopies of any such books, records, and
other data; (iv) furnish to the Lender promptly upon request, certified by an

and records in a manner satisfactory to the Lender so that the Lender's rights
in and to the Collateral will be shown.
7. Name of Pledgors, Places of Business, and Location of
Collateral. The Pledgor represents and warrants that its correct legal name is
as specified on the signature lines of this Agreement, and each legal or trade
name of the Pledgor for the previous five (5) years (if different from the
Pledgor's current legal name) is as specified below the signature lines of this
Agreement. Without the prior written consent of the Lender, the Pledgor will not
change its name, dissolve, merge, or consolidate with any other person. The

the address of each other place of business of the Pledgor are as specified

any new place of business and of any change in the location of the places where
the Collateral or any part thereof, or the books and records concerning the

8. Care of Collateral. The Pledgor will maintain the Collateral
in first-class condition excepting any loss, damage, or destruction which is
fully covered by proceeds of insurance and will not do or permit anything to be
done to the collateral that may impair its value or that may violate the terms
of any insurance covering the Collateral or any part thereof, normal wear and
tear excepted. The Lender shall have no duty to, and the Pledgor hereby releases
the Lender from all claims for loss or damage caused by the failure to, collect

purposes only, with all reasonable care and caution and in conformity with all
applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations.

specified by the Lender against such casualties and risks in such form and
amount and with such companies as may from time to time be required by the
Lender. All insurance proceeds shall be payable to the Lender, and such policies
or certificates thereon or duplicates thereof shall immediately be deposited
with the Lender. The Pledgor will pay all premiums due or to become due for such
insurance and hereby assigns to the Lender any returned or unearned premiums
which may be due upon cancellation of insurance coverage. The Lender is hereby
irrevocably: (i) appointed the Pledgor's attorney-in-fact (which appointment is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) to endorse any draft or check which
may be payable to the Pledgor in order to collect such returned or unearned
premiums or the proceeds of insurance and (ii) authorized to apply such
insurance premiums for payment of the Pledgor's Liabilities, when due, in such
order of application as the Lender may determine.

part of such real estate, except with respect to such items of Equipment which

leasehold improvements. The Pledgor will use its best efforts to furnish to the
Lender a written waiver by the record owner of such real estate of all interest
in such equipment and a written subordination to the Lender's security interest
and lien by any person who has a lien on or security interest in such real
estate which is or may be superior to the Lender's security interest hereunder.
12. Specific Assignments. Promptly upon request by the Lender, the
Pledgors will execute and deliver to the Lender written assignments,
endorsements, and/or schedules, in form and content satisfactory to the Lender,

request by the Lender deliver, assign, and endorse to the Lender all Chattel
Paper and all other documents held by the Pledgors in connection herewith.

out of a contract or contracts with the United States of America or any
department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, the Pledgor shall immediately
notify the Lender thereof in writing and execute any instruments or take any
steps required by the Lender in order that all moneys due or to become due under
such contract or contracts shall be assigned to the Lender and notice thereof
given under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or other applicable law.
15. Collateral Account. If all or any part of the collateral at
any time consists of Inventory, Accounts, or Chattel Paper, the Pledgor will,
upon the request of the Lender at any time after the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder, deposit or cause to be deposited to a bank account designated
by the Lender and from which the Lender alone has power of access and withdrawal
(the "COLLATERAL ACCOUNt") all checks, drafts, cash, and other remittances in
payment or on account of payment of such Inventory, Accounts, or Chattel Paper
and the cash proceeds of any returned goods, the sale or lease of which gave
rise to an Account or Chattel Paper (all of the foregoing herein collectively
referred to as "ITEMS OF PAYMENT"). The Pledgor shall deposit the Items of
Payment for credit to the Collateral Account within two (2) business days of the
receipt thereof, and in precisely the form received, except for the endorsement
of the Pledgor where necessary to permit the collection of the Items of Payment,
which endorsement the Pledgor hereby agrees to make. Pending such deposit, the
Pledgor will not commingle any of the Items of Payment with any of its other
funds or property but will hold them separate and apart. The Lender may at any
from time to time apply the whole or any part of the collected funds credited to
the Collateral Account against the Pledgor's Liabilities or credit such
collected funds to a banking account of the Pledgor with the Lender, the order
and method of such application to be in the discretion of the Lender.

part the purchase order of any account debtor; (g) demand, collect, receipt for,

of the Lender, but at the cost and expense of the Pledgor and without notice to

of the sale or lease of Inventory or for an Account, and the Pledgor's copy of
any written contract or order from which the sale or lease of Inventory, an
Account, or Chattel Paper arose; and (iii) when requested, advise the Lender
whenever an account debtor returns or refuses to retain any goods, the sale or
lease of which gave rise to an Account or Chattel Paper, and will comply with

continuance of such uncured default, if the Pledgor fails to perform, observe,
or comply with any of the conditions, terms, or covenants contained in this
Agreement, the Lender, without notice to or demand upon the Pledgor and without
waiving or releasing any of the Pledgor's Liabilities or any Event of Default,

Pledgor's Liabilities, plus one percent (1%) per annum (but in no event higher

payment until repaid in full, shall be paid by the Pledgor to the Lender on
demand and shall constitute and become a part of the Pledgor's Liabilities

in its reasonable judgement that a material adverse change has occurred in the

recent financial statement of the Pledgor heretofore furnished to the Lender, or
from the financial condition of the Pledgor as heretofore most recently
disclosed to the Lender in any other manner; or (o) a default occurs or in the
event a default exists under any document or instrument executed by any
Guarantor of the Pledgor's Liabilities, including, without limitation, any
Guaranty Agreement, any Security Agreement or any other similar document or
instrument.
19. Rights and Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default hereunder (and in addition to all of its other rights, powers,
and remedies under this Agreement), the Lender may, at its option, and upon
written notice to the Pledgor, declare the unpaid balance of the Pledgor's
Liabilities to be immediately due and payable. The occurrence or non-occurrence
of an Event of Default shall in no manner impair the ability of the Lender to
demand payment of any portion of the Pledgor's Liabilities which are payable on
demand. The Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law in the State of
Georgia. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Pledgor, upon
demand by the Lender, shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the
Lender at a place designated by the Lender which is mutually convenient to both
parties. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Lender or its
agents may enter upon the Pledgor's premises to take possession of the
Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, or to sell of otherwise dispose
of it, all without judicial process or proceedings.
Any written notice of the sale, disposition, or other intended action
by the Lender with respect to the Collateral which is required by applicable
laws and is sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Pledgor at the
address of the Pledgor's chief executive office specified below, or such other
address of the Pledgor which may from time to time be shown on the Lender's
records, at least five (5) days prior to such sale, disposition, or other
action, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Pledgor. The Pledgor shall pay
on demand all costs and expenses, including, without
8
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by or on behalf of
the Lender: (i) in enforcing the Pledgor's Liabilities; and (ii) in connection
with the taking, holding, preparing for sale or other disposition, selling,
managing, collecting, or otherwise disposing of the Collateral. All of such
costs and expenses (collectively, the "LIQUIDATION COSTS") together with
interest thereon at a simple per annum rate of interest which is equal to the
then highest rate of interest charged on the principal of any of the Pledgor's
Liabilities, plus one percent (1%) per annum (but in no event higher than the
maximum interest rate permitted by law), from the date of payment until repaid
in full, shall be paid by the Pledgor to the Lender on demand and shall
constitute and become a part of the Pledgor's Liabilities secured hereby. Any
proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by the
Lender to the payment of Liquidation Costs and Expense Payments, and any balance
of such proceeds will be applied by the Lender to the payment of the remaining
Pledgor's Liabilities in such order and manner of application as the Lender may
from time to time in its sole discretion determine.
20. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the
Lender as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents 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 in the other Loan Documents or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Lender or any one or more of such
rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise by the Lender of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
21. Waiver. No failure or delay by the Lender to insist upon the
strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of the
other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon
a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition,
covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or such term, condition, covenant,
or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Lender from exercising any
such right, power, or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment
which does not fully repay any indebtedness then due and payable with respect to
any of the Pledgor's Liabilities, the Lender shall not be deemed to have waived
the right either to require payment when due of all other Pledgor's Liabilities
or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect such payment of any such
other Pledgor's Liabilities. The Pledgor waives presentment, notice of dishonor,
and notice of non-payment with respect to Accounts and Chattel Paper.
THE PLEDGORS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LIABILITIES AROSE OUT OF A
"COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION" AS THIS TERM IS DEFINED IN O.C.G.A. SECTION
44-14-260(1) CONCERNING FORECLOSURE OF MORTGAGES ON PERSONALTY, AND AGREES THAT
IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFAULT, THE LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN IMMEDIATE
WRIT OF POSSESSION WITHOUT NOTICE OF HEARING AND KNOWINGLY AND INTELLIGENTLY
WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO ANY NOTICE AND POSTING OF A BOND BY THE
LENDER PRIOR TO SEIZURE BY THE LENDER, ITS TRANSFEREES, ASSIGNS, OR SUCCESSORS
IN INTEREST, OF THE COLLATERAL OR ANY PORTION THEREOF. THIS IS INTENDED BY THE
PLEDGOR AS A "WAIVER" AS THIS TERM IS DEFINED IN O.C.G.A. SECTION 44-14-260(3)
RELATING TO FORECLOSURE OF MORTGAGES ON PERSONALTY.
