7.8 Investment Related Property.

(a) If any Grantor shall receive or become entitled to receive any Pledged Interests after the Closing Date, it shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof) deliver to Bank a duly executed Pledged Interests Addendum identifying such Pledged Interests;

(b) Promptly upon Bank’s request after 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 Property which are received by any Grantor shall be held by the Grantors in trust for the benefit of Bank segregated from such Grantor’s other property, and such Grantor shall deliver it forthwith to Bank in the exact form received;

(c) Each Grantor shall promptly deliver to Bank a copy of each material notice or other material written communication received by it in respect of any Pledged Interests;

(d) 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 other than as permitted by the Loan Documents;

(e) Each Grantor agrees that it will cooperate with Bank in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local, or foreign law in connection with Bank’s Lien on the Investment Property or any sale or transfer thereof; and

(f) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under any Pledged Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, each Grantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that the Pledged Interests issued pursuant to any 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 Grantor 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.

8. Collection of Rights to Payment. Bank shall have the right at any time, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) to notify the Account Debtors to make payments directly to Bank or a lockbox account as set forth in clause (c) of this Section 8, (b) to enforce Grantor’s rights against the Account Debtors, and (c) to require that all payments made by Account Debtors be deposited directly into a lockbox account as Bank may specify, pursuant to a lockbox agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank, with a lockbox servicing Bank acceptable to Bank.

9. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Bank. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Security 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, Bank 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 Bank shall, pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, Bank 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 for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Bank has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

10. Voting Rights.

10.1 Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (a) Bank may, at its option, and with five (5) Business Days prior notice (unless such Event of Default is an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(g) or (h) of the Credit Agreement, in which case no such notice need be given) to any Grantor, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to Bank 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 Bank obligated by the terms of this Security Agreement to exercise such rights, and (b) if Bank duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints Bank, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and irrevocable proxy to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner Bank 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 until the Secured Obligations have been paid in cash, in full, the obligations of Bank under the Loan Documents have been irrevocably terminated, and this Security Agreement is terminated.

10.2 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 Bank, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights of Bank or which could have the effect of materially impairing the value of the Pledged Interests or that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of Bank under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein.

11. Events of Default. The occurrence of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) hereunder.

12. Rights and Remedies.

12.1 During the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank, without notice or demand, may do any one or more of the following, in each instance in compliance with all applicable laws, all of which are authorized by Grantors:

(a) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Bank considers advisable, and in such cases, Bank will credit the Secured Obligations with only the net amounts received by Bank in payment of such disputed Accounts after deducting all Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith;

(b) Cause Grantors to hold all returned Inventory in trust for Bank, segregate all returned Inventory from all other property of Grantors or in Grantors’ possession and conspicuously label said returned Inventory as the property of Bank;

(c) Without notice to or demand upon Grantors or any guarantor, make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral. Grantors agree to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Grantors authorize Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or Lien that in Bank’s determination appears to conflict with its security interests and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of any Grantor’s owned or leased premises, such Grantor hereby grants Bank, subject to the rights of the applicable landlord, a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to 120 days in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

(d) Without notice to Grantors (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral in satisfaction of an obligation), set off and apply to the Secured Obligations any and all (i) balances and Deposit Accounts of any Grantor held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of any Grantor held by Bank;

(e) Hold, as cash collateral, any and all balances and Deposit Accounts of any Grantor held by Bank, to secure the full and final repayment of all of the Secured Obligations;

(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral, subject to the terms of any applicable Intellectual Property License. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, each Grantor’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, URLs, domain names and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;

(g) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including any Grantor’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable. Bank shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale;

(h) Bank shall give notice of the disposition of the Collateral as follows:

(i) Bank shall give Grantors and each holder of a security interest in the Collateral who has filed with Bank a written request for notice, a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Collateral, then the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made;

(ii) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Grantors as provided in Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, at least ten (10) days before the date fixed for the sale, or at least ten (10) days before the date on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Notice to Persons other than Grantors claiming an interest in the Collateral shall be sent to such addresses as they have furnished to Bank;

(iii) If the sale is to be a public sale, Bank also shall give notice of the time and place by publishing a notice one time at least ten (10) days before the date of the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the sale is to be held;

(i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;

(j) The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral authorized by this Security Agreement shall be applied by Bank first upon all Expenses, the balance of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition shall be applied in the payment of the Secured Obligations, first to interest, then to principal, then to remaining Secured Obligations and the surplus, if any, shall be paid over to Grantors, without interest, or to such other person(s) as may be entitled to it under applicable law. Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency, which it shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand. Grantors agree that Bank shall be under no obligation to accept any noncash proceeds in connection with any sale or disposition of Collateral unless failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable. If Bank agrees in its sole discretion to accept noncash proceeds (unless the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable), Bank may ascribe any commercially reasonable value to such proceeds. Without limiting the foregoing, Bank may apply any discount factor in determining the present value of proceeds to be received in the future or may elect to apply proceeds to be received in the future only as and when such proceeds are actually received in cash by Bank;

(k) Bank shall have and may exercise without demand (i) the right to procure the transfer of legal title to all or any of the Mortgaged Hong Kong Assets to itself or a nominee for itself for the purpose of converting its security interest in such Mortgaged Hong Kong Assets from an equitable mortgage to a legal mortgage, whether by completing, dating and using the documents referred to in Section 4.7(I) hereof and/or by exercise of the power of attorney granted in Section 4.1 hereof and/or in any other manner; and

(l) The following shall be the basis for any finder of fact’s determination of the value of any Collateral which is the subject matter of a disposition giving rise to a calculation of any surplus or deficiency under Section 9615(f) of the UCC: (i) the Collateral which is the subject matter of the disposition shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the disposition, without any assumption or expectation that such Collateral will be repaired or improved in any manner; (ii) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the transferee of such Collateral desires a resale of the Collateral for cash promptly (but no later than 30 days) following the disposition; (iii) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial sales transactions relating to property similar to such Collateral shall be deducted including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, tax prorations, attorney’s fees, whether in-house or outside counsel is used, and marketing costs; (iv) the value of the Collateral which is the subject matter of the disposition shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining such Collateral pending sale (to the extent not accounted for in (iii) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (v) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the value of such Collateral must be given by persons having at least 5 years’ experience in appraising property similar to the Collateral and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of such Collateral taking into consideration the factors set forth above. The “value” of any such Collateral shall be a factor in determining the amount of proceeds which would have been realized in a disposition to a transferee other than a secured party, a person related to a secured party or a secondary obligor under Section 9615(f) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

12.2 Bank shall have no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Secured Obligations by collecting them from any third Person which may be liable for them or any portion thereof, and Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person as security for the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, all without affecting Bank’s rights against Grantors. Each Grantor waives any right it may have to require Bank to pursue any third Person for any of the Secured Obligations.

12.3 Bank may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and Bank’s compliance therewith will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

12.4 Bank may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Bank may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

12.5 If Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event that the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may resell the Collateral and Grantors will be credited with the proceeds of such sale.

12.6 Bank shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Grantors, or against or in payment of the Secured Obligations or any other obligation owed to Bank by Grantors or any other Person.

12.7 Upon the exercise by Bank of any power, right, privilege, or remedy pursuant to this Security Agreement which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization of any Governmental Authority, each Grantor agrees to execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, assignments, and other documents and papers that Bank or any purchaser of the Collateral may be required to obtain for such governmental consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization.

12.8 The rights and remedies of Bank under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements contemplated hereby and thereby shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of any one right or remedy shall be deemed an election of remedies, and no waiver by Bank of any default on Grantors’ part shall be deemed a continuing waiver of any further defaults. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election or acquiescence with respect to any right or remedy.

13. Bank Not Liable. So long as Bank complies with the obligations, if any, imposed by the UCC, Bank shall not otherwise be liable or responsible in any way or manner for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion or from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. Grantors bear the risk of loss or damage of the Collateral.

Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in California selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

19.3 No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as security interest enhancement or perfection, sale, setoff, repossession or application of proceeds; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

19.4 Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of California or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of California, in either case with a minimum of ten years’ experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of California and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

19.5 Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

19.6 Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

19.7 Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

19.8 Real Property Collateral; Judicial Reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if the dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of California, thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and obligations of the parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any such dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the dispute shall be referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable in accordance with said Section 638. A referee with the qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the AAA’s selection procedures. Judgment upon the decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.

19.9 Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

19.10 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in which either party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.

20. Updating Disclosure Schedules. To the extent necessary to cause the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 to remain true, complete and accurate as of the Closing Date, the date of each and every Borrowing and the date of each issuance of a Letter of Credit, Grantors shall update in writing any Schedules provided for in Section 6 to the extent they have Knowledge of any circumstance which may have the effect of making any representation or warranty contained in Section 6 untrue or incomplete in any material respect. The requirement of Grantors to update the Schedules provided for herein shall not have the effect of a cure of any Event of Default occurring prior to any such update or existing at the time of any such update without the written waiver of such Event of Default by Bank.
