Each Grantor shall provide Secured Party not less than 10 days’ prior written notice of any change in (a) its corporate name, (b) the location of its chief executive office or its principal place of business, (c) its identity or type of organization or corporate structure, (d) its Federal taxpayer identification number or organizational identification number or (e) its jurisdiction of organization (in each case, including by merging with or into any other entity, reorganizing, dissolving, liquidating, reincorporating or incorporating in any other jurisdiction), provided, that, (i) each Grantor shall take all action reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of Secured Party, (ii) such Grantor promptly provides Secured Party with certified Governing Documents reflecting any of the changes described in the preceding sentence and (iii) in no event shall any Grantor enter into any merger or similar transaction that would result in the organization of such Grantor in, or shall any Grantor reorganize or otherwise become incorporated or organized under the laws of, any jurisdiction outside of the United States.

4.10.       Account Verification. Each Grantor shall permit Secured Party, in Secured Party’s name or in the name of a nominee of Secured Party, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any account or payment intangible, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise and, promptly upon the request of Secured Party, each Grantor shall send requests for verification of accounts and payment intangibles or send notices of assignment of accounts and payment intangibles to account debtors and other obligors.

4.11.       Insurance. Each Grantor will, at its expense, maintain insurance with respect to all of its assets covering liabilities, losses or damages and in amounts as are customarily insured against by other Persons engaged in same or similar businesses and similarly situated with financially sound and reputable insurance companies acceptable to Secured Party and in any event, in amount, adequacy, and scope reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party (it being agreed that the amount, adequacy, and scope of the policies of insurance of Grantors in effect as of the Closing Date are acceptable to Secured Party). All property insurance policies are to be made payable to Secured Party, as its interests may appear, in case of loss, pursuant to a standard lender’s loss payable endorsement with a standard non-contributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as Secured Party may reasonably require.

If any Grantor fails to maintain such insurance, Secured Party may arrange for such insurance, but at the expense of Grantors and without any responsibility for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims. At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party shall have the sole right to file claims under any property and general liability insurance policies in respect of the Collateral, 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. If at any time the area in which any Real Property that is subject to a Lien is located in a “flood hazard area” as designated by the appropriate Governmental Authority, the Grantor that is the owner of it shall obtain flood insurance in such amount and on terms that are satisfactory to Secured Party and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and all related laws, rules and regulations, including any amendment or successor provisions.

4.12.       Locations of Inventory and Equipment; Collateral Access Agreements. Each Grantor will keep its inventory and equipment only at the locations listed in Schedule 7 to this Agreement, other than documents of title, inventory or equipment in transit to or between such locations, or equipment temporarily at third party locations for repair, or maintenance, motor vehicles, vessels or aircraft; provided, that, a Grantor may have inventory or equipment at a new location upon not less than 10 days’ prior written notice to Secured Party of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new location and providing such other information and documents to Secured Party requested by Secured Party in its Permitted Discretion. Each Grantor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Collateral Access Agreements for (a) each of the locations identified on Schedule 7 to this Agreement that are not owned and operated by a Grantor, and (b) for such new locations, in each case under clause (a) or (b), except as Secured Party may otherwise agree in writing, and each Grantor shall, prior to any change described in the preceding sentence, take all actions requested by Secured Party in its Permitted Discretion to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest of Secured Party in the Collateral.

5.            Further Assurances.

5.1.         General. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to create, perfect or protect the security interest of Secured Party granted (or purported to be granted) in any Loan Document or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies with respect to any of the Collateral.

5.2.         Authorization to File Financing Statements, Etc. Each Grantor authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, (a) describing the Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (b) describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, or (c) that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance. Each Grantor (i) will promptly execute and deliver to Secured Party such other instruments or notices, as Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, (ii) ratifies any and all financing statements or amendments previously filed by Secured Party in any jurisdiction and (iii) acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with any Loan Document without the prior written consent of Secured Party, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

5.3.         Secured Party May Perform; Secured Party’s Duties. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall constitute Secured Obligations and be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property.

6.        Remedies.

6.1.         General. At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law in respect of the Collateral upon a default, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC or any other applicable law), Secured Party may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (a) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon the request of Secured Party promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains inventory, and (b) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days notification by mail to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notification shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notification of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that (i) the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC and (ii) to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, notification by mail of the URL where a sale will occur and the time when a sale will commence at least 10 days prior to the sale shall constitute a reasonable notification for purposes of Section 9-611(b) of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC.

6.2.         License for Intellectual Property. Secured Party is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charges, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights under any license, sublicense, or other agreement (including any Intellectual Property License) in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, selling or otherwise dealing with any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party for such purposes.

6.3.         Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. Secured Party may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC or any other applicable law), (a) with respect to any Grantor’s deposit accounts, instruct the bank maintaining such deposit account for such Grantor to pay the balance of such deposit account to or for the benefit of Secured Party, and (b) with respect to any Grantor’s securities accounts, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such securities account for such Grantor to (i) transfer any cash in such securities account to or for the benefit of Secured Party, or (ii) liquidate any financial assets in such securities account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Secured Party.

6.4.         Investment Property. At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, promptly upon the request of Secured Party, all sums of money and property paid or distributed in respect of any Investment Property that are received by any Grantor shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the benefit of Secured Party segregated from such Grantor’s other property, and such Grantor shall promptly deliver it to Secured Party in the form received.

6.5.         Deficiency. Any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

6.6.         Possession; Receiver. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party shall have the right (a) to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing and (b) to the appointment of a receiver, ex parte without notice, for a Grantor or all or any portion of the Collateral (to which appointment each Grantor consents) without the necessity of posting a bond or other form of security (which each Grantor waives).

6.7.         Secured Party’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, Etc. At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could and (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses in connection with the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all inventory and equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses.

6.8.         Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.

(a)            Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may, in its Permitted Discretion, deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

(i)            to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the accounts or any other Collateral of such Grantor;

(ii)             to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor to such address as Secured Party may specify for such purpose;

(iii)            to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable Collateral or chattel paper;

(iv)            to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral;

(v)             to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any account of such Grantor;

(vi)            to use any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of such Grantor, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or selling inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and

(vii)           to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses (at its election, but without any obligation to do so).

(b)            If Secured Party shall commence any such suit, each Grantor shall, at the request of Secured Party, take any and all lawful acts and execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably required by Secured Party in aid of such enforcement. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

6.9.         [Intentionally Omitted].

6.10.       [Intentionally Omitted].

6.11.       Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party or Secured Party's designee may (a) notify account debtors of any Grantor that the accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to Secured Party, or that Secured Party has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the accounts, general intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Grantor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations.

6.12.       Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Secured Party as provided for in the Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Bank Products 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 the Loan Documents and the agreements relating to Bank Product now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Secured Party, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Secured Party of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

6.13.       Marshaling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured 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 marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under any Loan Document, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

6.14.       Expenses. Grantors shall, upon demand, pay to Secured Party (or Secured Party, may charge to the Loan Account) all the Lender Expenses which Secured Party may incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement, (b) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (c) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party under any Loan Document or applicable law or (d) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions of any Loan Document.

7.1.         Continuing Security Interest; No Waiver. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Secured Obligations, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, and its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Secured Party, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), Secured Party may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Secured Party herein or otherwise. After the payment in full of all Obligations, and the receipt by Secured Party of a general release of all claims against Secured Party and its Affiliates by each Grantor relating to the Credit Facility, Secured Party will, at the expense of each Grantor, execute and deliver any termination statements and lien releases (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, notices of the Liens of Secured Party previously filed by Secured Party. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of any Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Secured Party nor any additional loans made by Secured Party to a Grantor, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to any Grantor by Secured Party, nor any other act of Secured Party shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Secured Party shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Secured Party and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Secured Party would otherwise have had on any other occasion.

7.2.         Reinstatement. Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Grantor or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set, aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by Secured Party under any bankruptcy law, Federal or State law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing any Secured Obligations shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (a) any Lien or other Collateral securing any Secured Obligations shall have been released or terminated or (b) any provision of this Agreement or the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.
