1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein without definitions shall have the respective meanings provided therefor in the Credit Agreement. The term “State,” as used herein, means the State of Oregon. All terms defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and used herein shall have the same definitions herein as specified therein.

All references to actions taken by, items or information received by, or rights, obligations and entitlements of, the “the Bank” hereunder, or to any similar matters, shall mean “the Bank (on behalf of the Secured Parties)” or “the Bank (for the benefit of the Secured Parties)”, as the context may require.
2. Grant of Security Interest. Each Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Parties, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a security interest in and so pledges and assigns to the Secured Parties the following properties, assets and rights of such Grantor, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof (all of the same being hereinafter called the “Collateral”): all personal and fixture property of every kind and nature including without limitation all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles).

9. Insurance.
(a) Maintenance of Insurance. Each Grantor will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with respect to its properties and business against such casualties and contingencies as shall be in accordance with general practices of businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas. Such insurance shall be in such minimum amounts that the Borrower will not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws, regulations and policies and otherwise shall be in such amounts, contain such terms, be in such forms and be for such periods as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Bank. In addition, all such insurance shall be payable to the Bank as loss payee. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will (i) keep all of its physical property insured with casualty or physical hazard insurance on a “special-risks” basis, with broad form flood coverage, with a reasonably available full replacement cost endorsement and an “agreed amount” clause in an amount, if feasible, equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of such property, (ii) maintain all such workers’ compensation or similar insurance as may be required by law, and (iii) maintain, in amounts and with deductibles equal to those generally maintained by businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas, general public liability insurance against claims of bodily injury, death or property damage occurring,
7
72387200_3
on, in or about the properties of the Borrower; business interruption insurance; and product liability insurance, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Insurance Proceeds. The proceeds of any casualty insurance in respect of any casualty loss of any of the Collateral shall, subject to the rights, if any, of other parties with an interest having priority in the property covered thereby, (i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and to the extent that the amount of such proceeds is less than $1,000,000, be disbursed to the applicable Grantor for direct application by such Grantor solely to the repair or replacement of such Grantor’s property so damaged or destroyed, and (ii) in all other circumstances, be held by the Bank as cash collateral for the Obligations. The Bank may, at its sole option, disburse from time to time all or any part of such proceeds so held as cash collateral, upon such terms and conditions as the Bank may reasonably prescribe, for direct application by any Grantor solely to the repair or replacement of such Grantor’s property so damaged or destroyed, or the Bank may apply all or any part of such proceeds to the Obligations.
(c) Continuation of Insurance. In the event of failure by any Grantor to provide and maintain insurance as provided herein and in the Credit Agreement, the Bank may, at its option, provide such insurance and charge the amount thereof to such Grantor. The Borrower shall furnish the Bank with certificates of insurance and policies evidencing compliance with the foregoing insurance provision in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
10. Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.
(a) Expenses Incurred by Bank. In the Bank’s discretion, if any Grantor fails to do so, the Bank may discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral, maintain any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees or insurance premiums. Each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Bank on demand for all expenditures so made. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to any Grantor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed as the waiver or cure of any Event of Default.
(b) Bank’s Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by such Grantor thereunder. No Secured Party have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Bank of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received
8
00000000_3
by the Bank in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Bank or to which the Bank may be entitled at any time or times. The Bank’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Bank deals with similar property for its own account.
11. Securities and Deposits. The Bank may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, the Bank may following and during the continuance of an Event of Default demand, xxx for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Bank to any Grantor may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations.
12. Notification to Account Borrowers and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall, at the request and option of the Bank, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of the Secured Parties in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Bank or to any financial institution designated by the Bank as the Bank’s agent therefor, and the Bank may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon any Grantor, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, each Grantor shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by such Grantor as trustee for the Secured Parties without commingling the same with other funds of such Grantor and shall turn the same over to the Bank in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Bank shall apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Bank to the Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.
13. Power of Attorney.
(a) Appointment and Powers of Bank. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Bank and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority
9
72387200_3
in the place and stead of such Grantor or in the Bank’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do the following:
(i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and as fully and completely as though the Bank were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Bank deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all at least as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state, local or other agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, (ii) upon written notice to such Grantor, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if the Bank so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities, and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and
(ii) to the extent that such Grantor’s authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without such Grantor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Bank may deem appropriate and to execute in such Grantor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require such Grantor’s signature.
(b) Ratification by Grantors. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
10
72387200_3
(c) No Duty on Bank. The powers conferred on the Bank hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Bank shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for the Bank’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.
14. Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Bank, without any other notice to or demand upon any Grantor, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Bank may, so far as each Grantor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. The Bank may in its discretion require any Grantor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of such Grantor’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Bank may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Bank shall give to each applicable Grantor at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that five Business Days’ prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, each Grantor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Bank’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.
15. Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Bank to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Bank (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Bank to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions
11
72387200_3
of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Parties against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Parties a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Bank, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Bank in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 15 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Bank would fulfill the Bank’s duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Bank’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Bank shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 15. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 15 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Bank or any other Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 15.
16. No Waiver by Bank, etc. Neither the Bank nor any other Secured Party shall be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Bank or such Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Bank deems expedient.
17. Marshalling. The Bank 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 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 marshalling of collateral which might
12
