obligors on, any such Collateral, or any registrar or transfer agent or trustee for any such
Collateral, shall be entitled to accept the provisions of this Agreement as conclusive evidence of
the right of Secured Party to effect any transfer or exercise any right hereunder or with respect
to any such Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or

payment relating to any contract or pursuant hereto, nor shall Secured Party be required or

interest hereunder, having good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any and all liens.
(b) No effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or lien
instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of
record in any public office, except such as may have been filed by Grantor in favor of Secured

previously approved by the Secured Party (the “Permitted Encumbrances”).

taxes, charges, liens and assessments against the Collateral owned by Grantor, except such as are
timely contested in good faith, and
4
upon its failure to pay or so contest such taxes, charges, liens and assessments, Secured
Party at Secured Party’s option may pay any of them, and Secured Party shall be the sole judge of
the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same.
(b) Repair and Maintenance. Grantor shall, to the extent consistent with good
business practice, keep the Collateral owned by Grantor in good repair, working order and

be designated as an additional insured and loss payee with respect to such insurance, and obtain
the written agreement of the insurers that such insurance shall not be canceled, terminated or
materially modified to the detriment of Secured Party without at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Secured Party. Grantor shall furnish copies of such insurance policies or
certificates to Secured Party promptly upon request therefor. If Grantor fails to maintain such
insurance, Secured Party may arrange for such insurance at Grantor’s expense and without any
responsibility on Secured Party’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance
companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents (“Event of Default”) which is not waived
or cured to Secured Party’s satisfaction, Secured Party shall, subject to the rights of any holders
of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to Secured Party, have the sole right, in the name
of Secured Party or Grantor, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and
give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all
endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be
necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance
policies.
(e) Damage; Removal. Grantor shall promptly notify Secured Party in writing in the
event of any substantial or material damage to the Collateral from any source whatsoever, and
except for the disposition of collections and other Proceeds of the Collateral permitted under this
Agreement, Grantor shall not remove or permit to be removed any part of the Collateral from
Grantor’s place of business without the prior written consent of Secured Party, except for such
items of the Collateral as are removed in the ordinary course of business or in connection with any
transaction or disposition otherwise permitted by the Deed of Trust.
(f) Compliance with Laws, etc. Grantor shall not, nor cause or allow, the Collateral
to be used for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any law, regulation or ordinance, nor used
in any way that will void or impair any insurance required to be carried in connection therewith.
Grantor shall comply, in all material respects, with all acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees
and directions of any governmental authority applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or to
the operation of Grantor’s business, except where the failure to comply would not have a material
adverse effect; provided, however, that Grantor may contest any act, regulation, order, decree or
direction in any reasonable manner that shall not materially and adversely affect Secured Party’s
rights hereunder or the priority of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.
(g) Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Secured Party
relating to the Collateral, or to enforce any provision of the Collateral, Grantor shall save,
indemnify and keep Secured Party harmless from and against all reasonable expense, loss or damage
suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability
whatsoever of the obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach or default by Grantor of any
obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time
owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from Grantor, and all such obligations of
Grantor shall be and remain enforceable against and only against Grantor and shall not be
enforceable against Secured Party.
(h) Further Identification of Collateral. Grantor shall if so requested by Secured
Party furnish to Secured Party, as often as Secured Party reasonably requests, statements and

the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Secured Party may
reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(i) Name/Address Change. In the event Grantor changes Grantor’s name, business
address or organizational structure as they are set forth herein or in the Deed of Trust, Grantor
shall notify Secured Party in writing of such name and/or address change promptly, but in any
event, within thirty (30) days thereof; provided that if such change may make any financing
statement file in connection herewith materially misleading, Grantor shall provide Secured Party
with such notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the change.
(j) Notification of Third Parties. If any Collateral at any time is in the possession
of one or more persons other than Grantor, Grantor, if requested by Secured Party, shall notify
such person(s), in writing, of Secured Party’s security interest covering such Collateral and shall
instruct such person(s) to hold such Collateral for the account and benefit of Secured Party and
subject to the instructions of Secured Party.
(k) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Grantor shall not create, permit or suffer to
exist, and shall defend the Collateral against and take such other action as is necessary to
remove, any lien on the Collateral except Permitted Encumbrances, and shall defend the right, title
and interest of Secured Party in and to any of Grantor’s rights under the Collateral.

adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created
hereunder.
7. RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTY. At any time (whether or not an Event of Default has
occurred), without notice or demand and at the expense of Grantor, Secured Party may, to the extent
it may be necessary or desirable to protect the security hereunder, but Secured Party shall not be
obligated to: (a) enter upon any premises on which Collateral is situated and examine the same or
(b) perform any obligation of Grantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. At any time
and from time to time, at the expense of Grantor with regard to the portion of the Collateral owned
by it, Secured Party may, to the extent it may be necessary or desirable to protect the security
hereunder, but Secured Party shall not be obligated to: (i) notify obligors on the Collateral that
the Collateral has been assigned to Secured Party; (ii) at any time and from time to time request
from obligors on the Collateral, in the name of Grantor or in the name of Secured Party,
information concerning the Collateral and the amounts owing thereon; and (iii) cause the Collateral
to be registered in the name of Secured Party, as legal owner for purposes of security hereunder.
Grantor shall maintain books and records pertaining to the Collateral in such detail, form and
scope as Secured Party shall require consistent with Secured Party’s interests hereunder. Grantor
shall at any time at Secured Party’s request xxxx the Collateral and/or such Grantor’s ledger
cards, books of account and other records relating to the Collateral with appropriate notations
satisfactory to Secured Party disclosing that they are subject to Secured Party’s security
interests. Secured Party shall at all times have full access to and the right to audit any and all
of Grantor’s books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and to confirm and verify the value of
the Collateral and to do whatever else Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable to protect its
interests; provided, however, that any such action which involves communicating with customers of
Grantor shall be carried out by Secured Party through Grantor’s independent auditors unless Secured
Party shall then have the right directly to notify obligors on the Collateral. Secured Party shall
be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to preserve any rights of or against
any prior or other parties in connection with the Collateral, to exercise any voting rights or
managerial rights with respect to any Collateral, whether or not an Event of Default shall have
occurred, or to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance,
protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor or notices of any other nature whatsoever in
connection with the Collateral or the Obligations. Secured Party shall be under no duty or
obligation whatsoever to take any action to protect or preserve the Collateral or any rights of
Grantor therein, or to make collections or enforce payment thereon, or to participate in any
foreclosure or other proceeding in connection therewith.
8. POSSESSION OF COLLATERAL BY SECURED PARTY. All the Collateral now, heretofore or
hereafter delivered to Secured Party shall be held by Secured Party in Secured Party’s possession,
custody and control. Any or all of the Collateral delivered to Secured Party may be held in an
interest bearing or non-interest bearing account, in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion,
and Secured Party may, in Secured Party’s discretion, apply any such interest to payment of the
Obligations. Nothing herein shall obligate Secured Party to invest any Collateral or obtain any
particular return thereon. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
whenever any of the Collateral is in
6
Secured Party’s possession, custody or control, Secured Party may use, operate and consume the
Collateral, whether for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the Collateral, or for the
purpose of performing any of Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, or otherwise. Secured
Party may at any time deliver or redeliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Grantor, and the
receipt of any of the same by any Grantor shall be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral
so delivered, and Secured Party thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility
therefor. So long as Secured Party exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its
possession, custody or control, Secured Party shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to
such Collateral, and in no event shall Secured Party have liability for any diminution in value of
Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events. Secured Party shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in
the possession, custody or control of Secured Party is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that Secured Party shall not
have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions,
exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Secured
Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to
preserve rights against any person with respect to any Collateral.
9. SECURED PARTY’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
(a) Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or in
its own name, from time to time in Secured Party’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the
terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and
all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives Secured Party the
power and right, on behalf of Grantor, without notice to or assent by Grantor to do the following:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any
and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of Grantor

collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment
of moneys due under any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action
or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by
Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any
Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to take any other action or
proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Secured
Party for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral
whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances
levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or

to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due thereunder, directly to
Secured Party or as Secured Party shall direct; (B) to receive payment of and receipt
for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time,
in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices,
freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts
against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts
and other documents constituting or relating to the Collateral; (D) to commence and
prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of
competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce
any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or
proceeding brought against Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle,
compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in
connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Secured Party may deem

respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as
though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at
Secured Party’s option and Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all
acts and things that Secured Party reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest and lien therein,
in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
Grantor might do.
7
(b) Secured Party agrees that, except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, Secured Party will forebear from exercising the power of attorney or any rights
granted to Secured Party pursuant to this Section. Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent
permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section is a power coupled with an interest and
shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.

result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees
or agents shall be responsible to Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for Secured Party’s
own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(d) Grantor also authorizes Secured Party, at any time and from time to time upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) to communicate in Secured
Party’s own name with any party to any contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title
and interest of Grantor in and under the contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto,
and (ii) to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 11 hereof, any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral.
10. PERFORMANCE BY SECURED PARTY OF GRANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS. If Grantor fails to
perform or comply with any of Grantor’s agreements contained herein and Secured Party, as provided
for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself elect to perform or comply, or otherwise cause
performance or compliance, with such agreement, then the reasonable expenses of Secured Party
incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the
Default Rate as provided in the Note, shall be payable by Grantor to Secured Party on demand and
shall constitute Obligations secured hereby.
11. REMEDIES, RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have, in any jurisdiction where enforcement
hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies that Secured Party may have under
applicable law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, all rights
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in any jurisdiction, and, in addition, the
following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without notice to Grantor and
without affecting the Obligations of Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the
enforceability of the liens and security interests created hereby:
(a) to foreclose the liens and security interests created hereunder or under any other
agreement relating to any Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial
process;
(b) to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of securing,
protecting, inventorying, appraising, inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing, preparing,
processing, taking possession of or removing the same;
(c) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof, either
at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on credit or
otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as shall be acceptable
to Secured Party;
(d) to notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Secured
Party and that all payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to Secured Party;
(e) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, distributions, interest,
principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the collateral;
8

Party may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept other property in exchange
for the Collateral;
(g) to settle, compromise or release, on terms acceptable to Secured Party, in whole or in
part, any amounts owing on the Collateral and/or any disputes with respect thereto;
(h) to extend the time of payment, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in
connection with the Collateral in the name of Secured Party or in the name of any Grantor;
(i) to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or all of
the Collateral and take or bring, in the name of Secured Party or in the name of any Grantor, any
and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Secured Party necessary or desirable to
effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral, including any judicial or nonjudicial
foreclosure thereof or thereon, and Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of
any or all of the Collateral or any other action taken by Secured Party which may release any
obligor from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and Grantor waives any right not
expressly provided for in this Agreement to receive notice of any public or private judicial or
nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any security or any of the Collateral; and any money or other
property received by Secured Party in exchange for or on account of the Collateral, whether
representing collections or proceeds of Collateral, and whether resulting from voluntary payments
or foreclosure proceedings or other legal action taken by Secured Party or Grantor may be applied
by Secured Party without notice to Grantor to the Obligations in such order and manner as Secured
Party in its sole discretion shall determine;
(j) to insure, process and preserve the Collateral;
(k) to exercise all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under the Loan Documents;
(l) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located, the Collateral and any and all
documents, instruments, files and records, and any receptacles and cabinets containing the same,
relating to the Collateral, and Secured Party may, at the cost and expense of Grantor, use such of
Grantor’s supplies, equipment, facilities and space at Grantor’s places of business as may be
necessary or appropriate to properly administer, process, store, control, prepare for sale or
disposition and/or sell or dispose of the Collateral owned by Grantor or to properly administer and
control the handling of collections and realizations thereon, and Secured Party shall be deemed to
have a rent-free tenancy (as between Grantor and Secured Party) of any premises owned, leased or
otherwise used by Grantor for such purposes and for such periods of time as required by Secured
Party;
(m) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Grantor and notify postal
authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Secured Party may
designate; provided that Secured Party agrees that Secured Party will promptly deliver over to
Grantor such opened mail as does not relate to the Collateral; and
(n) to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the
Collateral, all at Secured Party’s sole option and as Secured Party in Secured Party’s sole
discretion may deem advisable. Grantor shall, at Secured Party’s request, assemble the Collateral
and make it available to Secured Party at places which Secured Party may designate, whether at the
premises of Grantor or elsewhere, and shall make available to Secured Party, free of cost, all
premises, equipment and facilities of Grantor for the purpose of Secured Party’s taking possession
of the Collateral or storing same or removing or putting the Collateral in salable form or selling
or disposing of same.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party also
shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be
appointed by a court (and Grantor hereby expressly consents upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default to the appointment of such a receiver), and without regard to
the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, to take possession of the Collateral or any part
thereof and to collect and receive the rents, issues, profits, income and Proceeds thereof. Taking
possession of the
9
Collateral shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any
act done pursuant to such notice. The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a
court shall be as ordered by said court.
Any public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of
Secured Party, or at Grantor’s place of business, or at any other place permitted by applicable
law, and without the necessity of the Collateral being within the view of prospective purchasers.
Secured Party may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or portions thereof, as
Secured Party in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Grantor expressly
waives any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any Collateral. Secured Party or any
person on Secured Party’s behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other disposition. The
net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or other disposition of
the Collateral shall be applied, first, to the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale or lease, selling,
leasing, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of the Obligations in
such order as shall be determined by Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion. Grantor
and any other person then obligated therefor shall pay to Secured Party on demand any deficiency
with regard thereto which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the
Collateral.
Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, Secured Party will send or otherwise make available to
Grantor, notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time on or after which
any private sale thereof is to be made. Grantor agrees that any public or private sale shall be
deemed to be commercially reasonable if (i) Secured Party mails written notice of such sale by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to Grantor at Grantor’s address set forth herein, or delivered
or otherwise sent to Grantor, at least ten (10) days before the date of the sale (ii) Secured Party
publishes notice of such sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation once per week for
two weeks immediately preceding such sale and (iii) upon receipt of any written request, Secured
Party makes the Collateral to be sold available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for
inspection during reasonable business hours. Secured Party shall be entitled to conduct any public
or private sale in any other commercially reasonable manner permitted by law.
Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder, Secured Party shall have the right to
assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each
such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or
right upon the part of Grantor or any other person claiming through Grantor, and Grantor hereby
waives (to the extent permitted by applicable laws) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal
which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted. If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit
or for future delivery, Secured Party shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price
to the Obligations until such amount actually is received by Secured Party, and any Collateral so
sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or
purchasers thereof. Secured Party shall not incur any liability in cash any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the
Collateral may be sold again.
12. REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue
to be effective, should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or
reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s assets,
and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or
reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations,
whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such
payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced
only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
13. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
14. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Grantor agrees to pay to Secured Party all costs and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Secured Party in the enforcement or
attempted enforcement of this Agreement, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith,
and in connection with any waiver or amendment of
10
any term or provision hereof. All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including attorneys’
fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, power
or remedy conferred by this Agreement (including the right to perform any Obligation of Grantor
under the Loan Documents), or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be secured
hereby and shall become a part of the Obligations and shall be paid to Secured Party by Grantor,
immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the rate(s) provided for under the Note.
15. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Secured Party shall not by any act, delay, omit
or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall
be valid unless in writing, signed by Secured Party, and then only to the extent therein set forth.
A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Secured Party would otherwise have had on any future
occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Secured Party, any
right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder
provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any
rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be
waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Secured
Party and, if applicable, by Grantor.
16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; GOVERNING LAW.
(a) This Agreement and all obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of Grantor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Secured
Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of Secured Party, all future holders of an interest in the
Note and their respective successors and assigns as permitted in the Note. No sales of
participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement
governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall
in any manner affect the security interest granted to Secured Party hereunder.
(b) THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
17. FURTHER INDEMNIFICATION. Grantor shall indemnify and hold Secured Party and
Secured Party’s members, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and advisors (each an
“Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings,
claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees
and disbursements, including those incurred upon any appeal) which may be instituted or asserted
against or incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of Secured Party having entered into this
Agreement or exercised any of its rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that Grantor
shall not be liable for such indemnification of an Indemnified Party to the extent that any such
suit, claim, damage, loss, liability or expense results solely from the Indemnified Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Grantor shall pay, and hold Secured Party harmless from, any and
all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales
or other similar taxes that may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the
Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than
liabilities which result from Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
18. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. Grantor agrees that Secured Party shall be under no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Grantor in payment of any or all of the Obligations
and Grantor hereby waives any statutory, implied or legal right to require marshalling of any
assets in connection with any enforcement of any right by Secured Party.
19. WAIVER OF PRESENTMENT. Grantor hereby waives any right to presentment, demand,
protest or any notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any of the Collateral to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
20. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS AND OTHER LAWS. Until the Obligations shall have been paid
and performed in full, the power of sale and all other rights, privileges, powers and remedies
granted to Secured Party
11
hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Secured Party at any time and from
time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Obligations may have become barred by any
statute of limitations. Grantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of
limitation, and any and all laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for
valuation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
21. OTHER AGREEMENTS. Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of
terms or conditions set forth in any of the other Loan Documents, but each and every term and
condition hereof shall be in addition thereto. All provisions contained in the any of the Loan
Documents are incorporated herein by this reference.
22. NOTICES. Any notice, demand, request, statement or consent made hereunder shall
be in writing, signed by the party giving such notice, request, demand, statement, or consent, and

such notice is addressed at their address set forth below. If delivery of such notice is refused
