SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT ("Security Agreement") is dated as of September 14,
------------------
2000, and is made by SAILORMEN, INC., a Florida corporation and INTERFOODS
OF AMERICA, INC., a Nevada corporation, as debtor (if more than one Person,
collectively and jointly and severally, "Debtor"), in favor of AMERICAN
------
COMMERCIAL CAPITAL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as secured
party subject to Section 12 hereof ("Secured Party").
-------------
The terms used herein (whether or not capitalized) have the meanings
accorded such terms in the text hereof, in the INFORMATION CERTIFICATE and in
the DEFINITIONS SCHEDULE attached hereto and made a part hereof and, to the
extent not inconsistent therewith, the UCC. Debtor has requested that Secured
Party make the Loan to Debtor and Debtor has agreed to evidence such Loan by
executing and delivering to Secured Party a Note, dated the date thereof, made
payable to Secured Party in the original principal amount set forth therein and
for the term and on the terms and conditions set forth therein. As a condition
to the making of the Loan, Secured Party has requested and Debtor has agreed,
among other things, to Grant Secured Party a Lien in the Collateral. In
consideration of the foregoing, the benefits accruing to Debtor and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which Debtor
hereby acknowledges, Debtor hereby makes the following representations and
warranties to Secured Party and covenants and agrees with Secured Party as
follows:
I GRANT.
To secure the Debtor's obligations under and in connection with the Loan
Documents and the Obligations, Debtor hereby Grants to Secured Party a
continuing security interest and Lien on and with respect to the Collateral

below), whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired or arising; all
additions and accessions thereto, substitutions therefor and replacements and
improvements of or to any or all of the foregoing; and all products and Proceeds
of the foregoing. In the event and to the extent that any Debtor now or
hereafter may Grant a security interest in or other Lien on its rights under any
Principal Agreement without Conflicting with such Principal Agreement, either
because the terms of such Principal Agreement do not restrict such Grant, or
each of the other parties thereto has consented to such Grant or applicable Law
permits such Grant, or for any other reason, then Debtor hereby Grants to
Secured Party such Lien in such Principal Agreements, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, and all Proceeds thereof.
2 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

or financing or otherwise) in the last six years.
2.2 Business and Location.
Under its legal name, Debtor is and shall continue to be engaged in the Business
under the Brand pursuant to the Principal Agreements at the Unit with the
address set forth on the INFORMATION CERTIFICATE. SCHEDULE 2 contains and will
continue to contain a complete and accurate list of businesses, if any,
conducted by Debtor other than its Business. Debtor's chief executive office
address is accurately set forth on the INFORMATION CERTIFICATE. All Collateral,
including all writings relating thereto and records thereof, books of record or
account, employees, business, offices and operations are located at and
conducted out of such Unit or Debtor's chief executive office.
2.3 Real Property Rights.
The INFORMATION CERTIFICATE correctly discloses either that Debtor (i) is the
sole record owner of the Property or (ii) leases (or subleases) the Property and
the record owner of the Property is the person or entity disclosed on the
INFORMATION CERTIFICATE.
2.4 No Subsidiaries; Scheduled Affiliates.
Except for Sailormen, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary of Interfoods of
America, Inc., and otherwise as disclosed on SCHEDULE 3, Debtor does not have
any subsidiaries on the date hereof and shall not, during the term hereof, have
any subsidiaries without prior notice to and written consent of Secured Party

2

-------

Indebtedness secured by the Permitted Encumbrances, if any, or the amount,
property or assets encumbered thereby.

assigns to Secured Party all insurance proceeds or awards with respect to such
Loss (the "Loss Proceeds"). All Loss Proceeds shall be paid to Secured Party
-------------

the Loss is in the amount of less than $25,000, the related Loss Proceeds may be
retained by Debtor if applied to the related Unit. With respect to any Loss for
any one Unit in an amount of $25,000 or more, all Loss Proceeds with respect to
such Loss shall be payable to Secured Party. Debtor hereby authorizes and
directs any affected insurance company and any affected Governmental Authority
responsible for such Condemnation to make payment of the Loss Proceeds directly
to Secured Party. If, with respect to any Loss for any one Unit in an amount of
$25,000 or more, Debtor receives any Loss Proceeds, Debtor shall promptly pay
over such Loss Proceeds to Secured Party. Debtor hereby covenants that until
such Loss Proceeds are so paid over to Secured Party, Debtor shall hold such
Loss Proceeds in trust for the benefit of Secured Party and shall not commingle

Loss or Loss Proceeds and Debtor shall take all appropriate action in connection
with each such proceeding, settlement, compromise and adjustment and shall pay
all expenses thereof, including, if Secured Party shall elect to participate
therein, the cost of Secured Party's participation; provided, however, that any
final settlement, compromise or adjustment shall be subject to the prior written
consent of Secured Party unless the Loss Proceeds are sufficient to pay the
Prepayment Amount in full. So long as an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, Secured Party may, at its option and with respect to its
interests as set forth herein, commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own
name, any such action or proceeding or make any compromise or settlement in
connection with such damage, destruction or taking and obtain directly all Loss
Proceeds.
(iii) If (u) Debtor suffers a Loss, (v) no Event of Default (or event which with
the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event
of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing, (w) the related Unit is not
in the last two years of the related Lease; (x) Debtor's business interruption
insurance policy will provide for payments covering at least two months in
excess of the period in which any repair or replacement is expected to require,
(y) the proceeds of such insurance (together with any amounts deposited with the
Secured Party by Debtor) are sufficient to cover the costs anticipated to be
incurred in connection with any such repair, restoration or replacement, and (z)
Debtor executes and delivers such documents and certificates confirming the
foregoing or as Secured Party may reasonably request, the provisions of this
subparagraph (iii) shall apply, and Debtor shall provide Secured Party with a
schedule for repairing, restoring or replacing the applicable Property as
promptly as reasonably practicable and shall repair, restore or replace the
applicable Unit (or, in the case of a taking, the remaining Unit) on such
schedule to the same condition, as nearly as possible, as existed immediately
prior to such Loss whether or not the Loss Proceeds are sufficient therefor. If
the cost of any repair, replacement or restoration made by Debtor pursuant to
this Section 2.22 shall exceed the amount of the Loss Proceeds, such deficiency
shall be paid by Debtor. The Loss Proceeds shall be held by Secured Party or its
agent and shall be disbursed to Debtor as hereinafter set forth, provided that
if the estimated cost of such repair, replacement or restoration exceeds the
amount of the Loss Proceeds, Debtor shall deliver to Secured Party or its agent
the estimated deficiency before commencing work. Secured Party or its agent
shall release such Loss Proceeds to Debtor, subject to such reasonable
procedural requirements as Secured Party or its agent may prescribe, from time
to time and provided that such amounts shall be disbursed not more often than
once monthly, as the repair, replacement or restoration progresses, upon
Debtor's written request, accompanied by a certificate of the architect or
engineer in charge of the repair, replacement or restoration or by an Authorized
Officer of Debtor, stating that the sum then requested either has been paid by
Debtor or is justly due to the named persons (whose addresses shall also be
stated) who have rendered services or furnished materials for certain portions
of the repair, replacement or restoration. The certificate shall give a brief
description of such services and materials, shall list the amounts so paid or
owing to each of such Persons, shall state the estimated cost of the balance of
the work yet to be performed, and shall state that no part of such expenditures
has been or is being made the basis for any other request for payment. Upon
compliance with the
8
foregoing, Secured Party or its agent shall within a reasonable period of time
of its receipt, pay out of the Loss Proceeds to the extent available to the
Persons named in the certificate the respective amounts stated to be due to them
or shall pay to Debtor the amount stated to have been paid by Debtor to such
persons.
(iv) If Debtor suffers a Loss and any one or more of the requisite conditions
for application of subparagraph 2.22 (iii), above, shall not be satisfied, the
provisions of this subparagraph (iv) shall apply and the Loss Proceeds shall be
applied at the option and direction of Secured Party, in its Sole Discretion,
either (w) to the repair, replacement or restoration of the applicable Property
as set forth in (iii) above, (x) on the next Payment Date, to the prepayment of
the outstanding Loan, together with Prepayment Premium Amount and all accrued
and unpaid interest, (x) to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then
due, in any order and in such manner as Secured Party may determine or (z) as an
addition to Collateral to be held by Secured Party,
2.23 Compliance with Laws; Consents and Other Action; No Violation; Indemnity.
(i) Debtor is and shall continue to be in compliance with all Requirements of
Law. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 6, all material Consents and Other Action
of any Person or Governmental Authority required for the lawful conduct of
Business at the Unit have been obtained, taken and made.
(ii) Debtor's Use of any of its business (including the Business), securities,
property or assets (including any proceeds of the Loan, any Collateral and the
Properties) has not, is not and shall not be in Conflict with any Requirements
of Law, Contractual Obligation, or Consent or Other Action, and to Debtor's
knowledge no such Conflict exists and no basis for a claim of any such Conflict
exists.
2.24 Tax Returns.
Debtor and each of its Scheduled Affiliates and each Person which might have tax
liabilities for which Debtor or any Scheduled Affiliates is or may be liable
(each a "Tax Party") has filed, or caused to be filed, and will continue to file
---------
in a timely manner all tax returns, reports and declarations which are required
to be filed by it. All information in such tax returns, reports and declarations
is complete and accurate in all material respects. Each Tax Party has paid or
caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or claimed due and payable in any
assessment received by it, and has collected, deposited and remitted in
accordance with all Requirements of Law, all sales and/or use taxes applicable
to the conduct of its business, except taxes, the validity of which are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and
available to the Tax Party and with respect to which adequate reserves have been
set aside on its books. There are no Liens on any properties or assets of the
Debtor or any of its Scheduled Affiliates imposed or arising as a result of the
delinquent payment or the nonpayment of any tax, assessment, fee or other
governmental charge. The income tax returns of each Tax Party have been examined
and reported
9
upon by the relevant tax authorities, or closed by applicable statutes of
limitations, for all fiscal years and no Tax Party has given or consented to any
waiver of the statute of limitations with respect to its tax liabilities for any
such year. Except as reflected in the financial statements provided to Secured
Party, Debtor knows of no transaction or matter which might or could result in
additional tax assessments to any Tax Party. There are no applicable Taxes and
Other Charges payable by any Tax Party or Secured Party in connection with the
execution and delivery of any Loan Documents by the Debtor or any of its
Affiliates which have not been paid by the Tax Party. Debtor shall be liable for
any tax or penalties imposed on Secured Party as a result of the execution or
performance of the Loan Documents or financing arrangements provided for herein,
and Debtor agrees to indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless with respect to
the foregoing and to repay to Secured Party on demand the amount thereof, and
until paid by Debtor such amount shall be added and deemed part of the Loan,
provided, that, nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Debtor to
pay any income or franchise taxes attributable to the income of Secured Party
from any amounts charged or paid hereunder to Secured Party. The foregoing
indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of
this Security Agreement.
2.25 Litigation.
Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 7, there is no Litigation pending, or to the
best of Debtor's knowledge threatened, against or affecting Debtor, Its assets
(including any Collateral or Principal Agreement), Business or any Unit or
against or affecting any Scheduled Affiliate or any transactions contemplated by
this Security Agreement or any Loan Document. None of the Litigation identified
on SCHEDULE 7 would, if adversely determined, have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.26 Capitalization; Solvency.
All of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of Debtor are directly and
beneficially owned and held by the Persons identified on the INFORMATION
CERTIFICATE ("Control Persons") and all of such Capital Stock has been duly

Debtor (and each Scheduled Affiliate) (x) is solvent and will continue to be
solvent after giving effect to the Obligations, the security interests of
Secured Party and the other transactions contemplated hereunder, and (y) is able
to pay its debts as they mature and has (and has reason to believe it will
continue to have) sufficient capital (and not unreasonably small capital) to
carry on its business and all businesses in which it is about to engage. The
assets and properties of Debtor (and each Scheduled Affiliate) at a fair
valuation and at their present fair salable value are, and will be, greater than
the Indebtedness of Debtor (or such Scheduled Affiliate), and including any
subordinated and contingent liabilities computed at the amount which, to the
best of Debtor's knowledge, represents an amount which can reasonably be
expected to become an actual or matured liability.
10
2.27 Distributions and Redemptions.
Debtor shall not, directly or indirectly, declare, or pay or make any
distributions on account of any Capital Stock now or hereafter outstanding, or
set aside or otherwise deposit or invest any sums for such purpose, or redeem,
retire, defease, purchase or otherwise acquire any Capital Stock (or set aside
or otherwise deposit or invest any sums for such purpose) for any consideration
or apply or set apart any sum, or make any other distribution (by reduction of
capital or otherwise) in respect of any such shares or agree to do any of the
foregoing, either (i) following the occurrence of and during the continuation of
an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or giving of
notice or both would be or result in an Event of Default, or (ii) if after
giving effect to such distributions Debtor would be in default or with the
passage of time or the giving of notice or both an Event of Default would occur,
or (iii) if same effects a Change of Control.
2.28 Transactions with Affiliates.
Debtor shall not directly or indirectly, (a) purchase, acquire or lease any

management or similar services, or of any Indebtedness owing to any Affiliate or
any officer, employee, member, manager, director, agent or any Affiliate or

Debtor shall cause all Collateral Revenues and Proceeds to be deposited in the
account(s) with the bank(s) listed on SCHEDULE 8 and Debtor shall pay, and

shall make all payments to Secured Party on the Obligations free and clear of,
and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff,
counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions,
withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. If after receipt of any
payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the
Obligations, Secured Party is required to surrender or return such payment or
proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be
satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and
Debtor shall be and remain liable to Secured Party hereunder and under other
Loan Documents and this Security Agreement and other Loan Documents shall
continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been
received by Secured Party. Debtor shall be liable to pay to Secured Party, and
does hereby indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless for the amount of any
payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 2.29 shall remain
effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Secured
Party in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 2.29 shall survive
the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Security Agreement.

FCCR, Consolidated Unit FCCR and Unit FCCR and determine compliance with other
financial covenants.
2.33 Accuracy of Information; Reasonable Assumptions.
All information, reports, statements and financial and other data furnished (or
hereafter furnished) by Debtor, its Affiliates or their respective agents or

have been and shall be prepared in good faith and based upon reasonable
assumptions. Debtor shall endeavor promptly to advise Secured Party, from time
to time, when any assumptions made in connection with any projections previously

4 SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING COLLATERAL REVENUES.
Subject to the terms of any Permitted Encumbrances, Debtor hereby directs any

Collateral and all writings evidencing or relating to the Collateral in trust
for Secured Party and, upon request or as otherwise provided herein,
16
promptly deliver the same to Secured Party in the form received and at a time
and in a manner satisfactory to Secured Party. With respect to the Collateral in
Debtor's possession Debtor shall at Secured Party's request take such action as
Secured Party in its Sole Discretion deems necessary or desirable to create,
perfect and protect Secured Party's security interest in any of the Collateral
and to preserve or enhance the value thereof.
5.2 Secured Party's Possession.
With respect to all of the Collateral delivered or transferred to, or otherwise
in the custody or control of (including any items in transit to or set apart
for) Secured Party or any of its agents, associates or correspondents in
accordance with this Security Agreement, Debtor agrees that (i) such Collateral
will be and be deemed to be in the sole possession of Secured Party; (ii) Debtor

not take or permit any action, or exercise any voting and other rights, powers
and privileges in respect of the Collateral inconsistent with Secured Party's

to account for property actually received by it, and without affecting or
discharging the Obligations, (x) further transfer and segregate the Collateral
in its possession; (y) receive Collateral Revenues or Proceeds and hold the same
as a part of the Collateral and/or apply the same as hereinafter provided; and
(z) exchange any of the Collateral for other property upon reorganization,
recapitalization or other readjustment. Following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Secured Party is authorized (i) to exercise or cause its nominee to
exercise all or any rights, powers and privileges (including to vote) on or with
respect to the Collateral with the same force and effect as an absolute owner
thereof-, (ii) whether any of the Obligations be due, in its name or in Debtor's
name or otherwise, to demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property
at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for, or make any
compromise or settlement Secured Party deems desirable with respect to, any of
the Collateral; and (iii) to extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in
installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, or release, any of the
Collateral. Notwithstanding the rights accorded Secured Party with respect to
the Collateral and except to the extent provided below or required by the UCC or
other applicable Law (which requirement cannot be modified, waived or excused),
Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the Collateral in its possession (with
respect to custody, preservation, safekeeping or otherwise and whether under
Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise) will be to deal with it in the same
manner that Secured Party deals with similar property owned and possessed by it.
Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party, and any of its officers,
directors, members, partners, trustees, owners, debt holders, employees,
representatives, agents and designees, except as otherwise required by
applicable Law (i) will have no duty with respect to the Collateral or the
rights granted hereunder; (ii) will not be required to sell, invest, substitute,
replace or otherwise dispose of the Collateral; (iii) will not be required to
take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of
the Collateral; (iv) will not be liable for (or deemed to have made an election
of or exercised any right or remedy on account of) any delay or failure to
demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral; and (v) will have no
obligation or liability in connection
17
with the Collateral or arising, under this Security Agreement. Debtor agrees
that such standard of care is reasonable and appropriate under the
circumstances.

liable party shall take any action to effect, or which indicates its

powers and remedies (i) granted to secured parties under the UCC or other
applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (ii) granted to Secured Party under any

Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document or any other agreement between

Discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more
occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court
of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by Debtor
of this Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any single or
partial exercise of, or forbearance, failure or delay in exercising any right,
power or remedy shall not be, nor shall any such single or partial exercise of,
or forbearance, failure or delay be deemed to be a limitation, modification or
waiver of any right, power or remedy and shall not preclude the further exercise
thereof-, and every right, power and remedy of Secured Party shall continue in
full force and effect until such right, power and remedy is specifically waived
by an instrument in writing executed and delivered with respect to each such
waiver by Secured Party.
19
7.2 Acceleration of Obligations.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter if any
Event of Default shall then be continuing, Secured Party may, from time to time
in its Sole Discretion, by written notice to Debtor declare the Note (including
an amount equal to that required to be paid if the Loan were prepaid as
described in paragraphs 5. "Prepayments" and 6. "Acceleration; Expenses" of the
----------- ----------------------
Note) and any other Obligations to be immediately due and payable whereupon
(and, ipso facto, automatically without any notice, demand or other action by
any Person, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default of the type referred to
in Section 6.3 hereof) such principal, interest and other Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of
default, notice of intent to accelerate, or other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby waived by Debtor to the maximum extent permitted by law and
such amounts, to the extent not paid on the date of acceleration, shall
thereafter bear interest until paid at the Default Rate.
7.3 Additional Rights of Secured Party.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, from time to
time, in its Sole Discretion, and without Debtor's assent, without
advertisements or notices of any kind (except for the notice specified in
Section 7.5 below regarding notice required in connection with a public or
private sale), or demand of performance or other demand, or obligation or
liability (except to account for amounts actually received) to or upon Debtor or
any other person (all such advertisements, notices and demands, obligation and
liabilities, if any, hereby being expressly waived and discharged to the extent
permitted by law), forthwith, directly or through its agents or representatives,
(i) disclose such default and other matters (including the name of Debtor) in
connection therewith to any Person in Secured Party's reasonable Sole
Discretion; (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law enter any Property,
with or without the assistance of other persons or legal process; (iii) require
Debtor to account for (including accounting for any products and proceeds of any
Collateral), segregate, assemble, make available and deliver to Secured Party,
its agents or representatives, the Collateral, at any place and time designated
by Secured Party; (iv) take possession of, operate, render unusable, remove from
any location, collect, transfer and receive, recover, appropriate, foreclose,
extend payment of, adjust, compromise, settle, release any claims included in,
and do all other acts or things necessary or, that Secured Party in its Sole
Discretion deems appropriate, to protect, maintain, preserve and realize upon,
the Collateral and any products and proceeds thereof, in whole or in part; and
(v) exercise all rights, powers and interests with respect to any and all
Collateral, and sell, assign, lease, license, pledge, transfer, negotiate
(including endorse checks, drafts, orders, or instruments), deliver or otherwise
dispose (by contract, option(s) or otherwise) of the Collateral or any part
thereof. Any such disposition may be in one or more public or private sales, at
or upon an exchange, board or system or in the State where the Unit is located
or elsewhere, at such price, for cash or credit (or for future delivery without
credit risk) and upon such other terms and conditions as it deems appropriate,
with the right of Secured Party to the extent permitted by Law upon any such
sale or sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of said
Collateral, free of any right, claim or equity of redemption of or in Debtor
(such rights, claims and equity of redemption,
20
if any, hereby being expressly waived). If any of the Collateral is sold or
leased by Secured Party upon credit terms or for future delivery, the
Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefore is
finally collected by Secured Party. In the event Secured Party institutes an
action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of
prejudgment remedy, Debtor waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise
be required. Notwithstanding that Secured Party, whether in its own behalf
and/or on behalf of another or others, may continue to hold the Collateral and
regardless of the value thereof, or any delay or failure to dispose thereof,
unless and then only to the extent that Secured Party proposes to retain the
Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations by written notice in accordance
with the UCC, Debtor shall be and remain liable for the payment in full of any
balance of the Obligations and expenses at any time unpaid. Without limiting the
foregoing, upon Debtor's failure to abide by and comply with its obligations
under any of Sections 2, 3, and 4 hereof, in addition to its other rights and
remedies, Secured Party may (but is not required to), in its Sole Discretion and
to the extent it deems necessary, advisable or appropriate, take or cause to be
taken such actions or things to be done (including the payment or advancement of
funds, or requiring advancement of funds to be held by Secured Party to fund
such obligations, including taxes or insurance) as may be required hereby (or
necessary or desirable in connection herewith) to correct such failure
(including causing the Collateral to be maintained or insurance protection
required hereby to be procured and maintained) and any and all costs and
expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) in
connection therewith shall be included in Debtor's Obligations and shall be
immediately due and payable and bear interest at the Default Rate.
7.4 Application of Proceeds; Deficiency.
Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may apply
the net proceeds, if any, of any collection, receipt, recovery, appropriation,
foreclosure or realization, or from any use, operation, sale, assignment, lease,
pledge, transfer, delivery or disposition of all or any of the Collateral, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys fees, trustee
fees, court costs and legal expenses) incurred in connection therewith or with
respect to the care, safekeeping, custody, maintenance, protection,
administration or otherwise of any and all of said Collateral or in any way
relating to the rights of Secured Party under this Security Agreement, (i)
first, to the satisfaction of the Obligations, in whole or in part (whether or
not due) in such order as Secured Party may, in its Sole Discretion, elect; (ii)
second, to the payment, satisfaction or discharge of any other Indebtedness or
Obligations (including any reimbursement, subrogation, contribution or other
obligation to any Person), or otherwise as may be permitted or as required by
any law, rule or regulation (including Section 9-504(l)(c) of the UCC); and
(iii) lastly, the surplus, if any, to Debtor. In connection with any disposition
of the Collateral, Debtor shall remain liable to Secured Party for the payment
of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all
costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and legal expenses. In applying any proceeds to any obligation secured by a
purchase money security interest, the Secured Party shall use the "first-in-
first-out" method of allocation.
21
7.5 Required Notice of Sale.
In exercising its rights, powers and remedies as secured party, Secured Party
agrees to give Debtor 10 days' notice of the time and place of any public sale
of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale of Collateral may take
place, unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in
value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Debtor agrees
that such period and notice is commercially reasonable under the circumstances.
8 RIGHT TO CURE; POST-DEFAULT POWER OF ATTORNEY.
8.1 Right to Cure.
Secured Party may, at its option but without an/ obligation, after an Event of
Default that is continuing cure any default by Debtor under any Contractual
Obligation including the Principal Agreements and Leases or pay or bond on
appeal any judgment entered against Debtor; discharge taxes or other Liens at
any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral; and pay any
amount, incur any expense or perform any act which, in Secured Party's judgment,
is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the
Collateral and the rights of Secured Party with respect thereto. Secured Party
may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations, such amounts to be repayable
by Debtor on demand. Secured Party shall be under no obligation to effect such
cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed
any obligation or liability of Debtor. Any payment made or other action taken by
Secured Party under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to
assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed accordingly.
8.2 Power of Attorney.
Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints, effective on and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party acting through any officer or
agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as Debtor's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in Debtor's place and
stead and in Debtor's name or in its own name, from time to time in Secured
Party's Sole Discretion, to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to
Debtor, to take any and all action, to do all things, to execute, endorse,
deliver and file any and all writings, documents, instruments, notices,
statements (including financing statements, and writings to correct any error or
ambiguity in any Loan Document), applications and registrations (including
registrations and licenses for securities, copyrights, patents, and trademarks),
checks, drafts, acceptances, money orders, or other evidence of payment or
proceeds, which may be or become necessary or desirable in the Sole Discretion
of Secured Party to accomplish the terms, purposes and intent of, or to fulfill
Debtor's obligations under this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought
with respect to the Collateral or Property, and to bring any action or
proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Debtor, which Secured Party, in its
Sole Discretion, deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest in the
Collateral or Property.
22
This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. THIS POWER DOES NOT
AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO AUTHORIZE ANY CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. Debtor
hereby releases Secured Party and its officers, directors, members, partners,
trustees, debt holders, employees, representatives, agents and designees from
any liabilities arising from any act or acts under this power of attorney and in
furtherance thereof, whether of omission or commission, except and only to the
extent the same results from Secured Party's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
9 DISCLOSURE.
Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party and its agents and representatives at any
time and from time to time to obtain from, disclose to and discuss with any
Brand Owner, creditor of Debtor or any other Person information concerning or
relating to the financial condition, operations and other matters relating to
the Debtor, its Business and Property and hereby consents to the release to
Secured Party by any such Person, at any time and from time to time, of
information relating to the Debtor, its Business and Property upon request of
Secured Party and without notice to or consent from Debtor. Debtor hereby
consents to the disclosure by the Secured Party of any and all information
(financial or otherwise) concerning Debtor to any Person in connection with the
sale or other disposition of Debtor's Loan (including any securitization
thereof).
10 INDEMNIFICATION.
Debtor shall make the indemnities provided for on Sections 2.24, 2.29 and 2.31
and Debtor shall indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless from and against any
such violation or any breach of Section 2, and any other loss, liability,
damage, cost or expense whatsoever (including attorneys fees and disbursements)
arising out of or in connection with Debtor's Use of any of its business
(including the Business), securities, property or assets (including any proceeds
of the Loan, any Collateral and the Property). Debtor hereby saves, indemnifies
and holds Secured Party harmless from and against all expenses, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties or damages
of any kind or nature, including attorney's fees and expenses, imposed on,
asserted against, suffered or incurred by Secured Party in any way relating to,
or arising out of or in connection with this Security Agreement, the Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Without limiting
the foregoing, Debtor will pay to Secured Party all expenses (including
reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of, or incidental to, the
negotiation of, entering into and enforcement of any of the provisions hereof
and of any of the Obligations, and any actual or attempted sale, lease or other
disposition of, and any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or
settlement of any of the Collateral and receipt of the Proceeds thereof, and for
the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting the rights and claims of
Secured Party in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, including expense
of insurance, and all such expenses shall be Debtor's Obligations. Debtor shall
indemnify and hold Secured Party, and its officers, directors, members,
partners, trustees, debt holders, employees, agents, representatives and
23
designees, harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any
of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding
commenced or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Security Agreement,
any other Loan Documents, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or transaction
related or attendant thereto, including, without limitation, amounts paid in
settlement, court costs, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, but
excluding any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
directly caused to be incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the person otherwise to be indemnified and held harmless under
this Section, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and
hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates
any Law or public policy, Debtor shall pay the maximum portion which it is
permitted to pay under applicable Law to Secured Party in satisfaction of
indemnified matters under this Section. The foregoing indemnity shall survive
the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this
Security Agreement.
11 OBLIGATIONS AND SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE.
Debtor's Obligations will be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and will be
paid or satisfied strictly in accordance with their respective terms under all
circumstances whatsoever, including: (i) the invalidity or unenforceability of
all or any of, or any part of, this Security Agreement, the Note or any other

12.2 Substitution of Collateral
Unless an Event of Default (or an event which with the passage of time or the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default) has occurred,
the Debtor may elect to substitute new collateral and obtain a release of one or
more individual restaurant Units and the Collateral related thereto part of such
Unit (the "Release Collateral") with the consent of Secured Party, such consent
------------------
not to be unreasonably withheld, if Debtor satisfies, in Secured Party's Sole
Discretion the following conditions precedent: (a) proposed substitute
collateral is substantially similar (e.g., similar real and personal property
interests, brands and cash flow) to the Release Collateral (the "Substitute
----------
Collateral"); (b) the Substitute Collateral satisfies, in Secured Party's Sole
----------
Discretion, Secured Party's then applicable underwriting guidelines (including,
without limitation, survey, appraisal, and title insurance requirements, and any
other applicable due diligence requirements) and (x) the then outstanding
principal amount of the Loan allocable to the Substitute Collateral is less than
the product of (i) 0.60 and (ii) the value of the Substitute Collateral by an
independent valuation consultant and (y) the Unit FCCR for Substitute Collateral
is not less than 1:40 or the FCCR for the individuals Unit to be replaced at the

such documents and agreements (including legal opinions) as Secured Party may
request which documents and agreements shall be in form and substance consistent
with the Loan Documents; (d) Debtor pays to Secured Party a fee in an amount

incurred by Secured Party in connection with such substitution; and (e) in the
event that the Loan has been included in a rated securitization, Secured Party
receives confirmation that such substitution shall not result in a
qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to
the securities issued in connection with such securitization by the applicable
rating agencies. If the Substitute Collateral is provided to Secured Party and
the conditions for substitution set forth above are met, Secured Party will
release the Release Collateral from any and all Liens that Secured Party may
have with respect to the Release Collateral and shall execute and deliver to
Debtor for filing and recordation such documents and instruments as Debtor may
reasonably request in order to effectuate the release of the Release Collateral
and place such release of public record. Substitution of Collateral shall not
occur more frequently than once per calendar quarter.

under the UCC to fil this Security Agreement or a copy hereof, and the same
shall be sufficient as a financing statement, and to execute and file, or file
without Debtor's signature, any and all financing statements (including a copy
of this Security Agreement which is and will be deemed to be sufficient as a
financing statement), amendments thereto and continuations thereof as Secured
Party deems necessary or appropriate and Debtor shall pay and indemnify Secured
Party for and hold Secured Party harmless from any and all costs and expenses in

or discharge Debtor of its respective duties, obligations and covenants under
this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents until all Obligations have
been fully and finally discharged and paid, and Secured Party's rights and
remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and applicable Law, shall
remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully and finally
discharged and paid.
15 MISCELLANEOUS.
15.1 FINAL AGREEMENT; Amendments, Consents, Authorizations.
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR
COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR
ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY. DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY. DEBTOR
UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT ORAL AGREEMENTS AND ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY,
EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT
ENFORCEABLE. This Security Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire
understanding of Secured Party and Debtor with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. None of the terms or provisions of this
Security Agreement or any other Loan Document may be waived, altered, modified,
or amended except in each instance by a specific written instrument duly
executed by Secured Party, Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the
extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Secured Party of any right,
power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or
waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Secured Party would
otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.
Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission to act shall be deemed
27
to be a consent, authorization, representation or agreement of Secured Party,
under the UCC or otherwise, unless, in each instance, the same is in a specific
writing signed by Secured Party. The inclusion of Collateral Revenues and
Proceeds in the Collateral does not and shall not be deemed to authorize Debtor
to sell, exchange of dispose the Collateral or the Principal Agreements or
otherwise use the Collateral in any manner not otherwise specifically authorized
herein.
15.2 Notices.
All notices and other communications given pursuant to or in connection with
this Security Agreement shall be in duly executed writing delivered to the
parties at the addresses set forth under their respective signatures below (or
such other address as may be provided by one party in a notice to the other).
Notice delivered in accordance with the foregoing shall be effective (i) when
delivered, if delivered personally or by receipted-for telex, telecopier, or
facsimile transmission, (ii) two days after being delivered in the United States
(properly addressed and all fees paid) for overnight delivery service to a
courier (such as Federal Express) which regularly provides such service and
regularly obtains executed receipts evidencing delivery or (iii) five days after
being deposited (properly addressed and stamped for first-class delivery) in a
daily serviced United States mail box.
15.3 Reasonableness.
If at any time Debtor believes that Secured Party has not acted reasonably in
granting or withholding any approval or consent under the Note, this Security
Agreement, or any other Loan Document or otherwise with respect to the
Obligations, as to which approval or consent either Secured Party has expressly
agreed to act reasonably, or absent such agreement, a court of law having
jurisdiction over the subject matter would require Secured Party to act
reasonably, then Debtor's sole remedy shall be to seek injunctive relief or
specific performance and no action for monetary damages or punitive damages
shall in any event or under any circumstance be maintained by Debtor against
Secured Party. Secured Party shall not have any liability to Debtor (whether in
tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Debtor in connection
with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships
contemplated by this Security Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring
in connection herewith, unless and only to the extent that it is determined by a
final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Secured Party, that
the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In any such litigation, Secured Party shall be entitled to
the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with
the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this
Security Agreement.
15.4 Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid.
Secured Party shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover
any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become
due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be
due, and without prejudice to the right of Secured Party thereafter
28
to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or
defaults by Debtor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

THE COURTS REFERRED TO ABOVE AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT
THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN
AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF SECURED PARTY TO
SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE PROCEEDINGS OR
OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST DEBTOR IN ANY JURISDICTION. To the extent that the
Debtor has or may hereafter acquire any immunity from the jurisdiction of any
court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with
respect to the Debtor or the Debtor's property, the Debtor hereby irrevocably
waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Note.
(c) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING,
STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF EITHER PARTY OR ANY EXERCISE
BY ANY PARTY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE
LOAN OR THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT, AND ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT WAS
FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SECURED PARTY TO MAKE THE LOAN.
15.7 Waiver of Notices.
Debtor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of
protest, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of intent to
accelerate with respect to any and all instruments and commercial paper,
included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and
all other demands and notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to
the Obligations, the Collateral and this Security Agreement and any Loan
Documents, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to or
demand on Debtor which Secured Party may elect to give shall entitle Debtor to
any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor waives
notice prior to Secured Party's taking possession or control of any of the
Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to
allowing Secured Party to exercise any of Secured Party's remedies, including
30
the issuance of an immediate writ of possession and the benefit of all
valuation, appraisement and exemption laws.
15.8 Relationship.
The relationship of Secured Party to Debtor hereunder is strictly and solely
that of secured commercial lender on the one hand and commercial debtor on the
other in a commercial transaction and nothing contained in the Note, this
Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise in connection with
the Obligations is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any
circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-
common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between
Secured Party and Debtor other than as secured commercial lender on the one hand
and commercial debtor and guarantor on the other in a commercial transaction.
15.9 Waiver of Counterclaims.
Debtor waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or
counterclaims of any nature (other than compulsory counterclaims) in any action
or proceeding brought by Secured Party with respect to this Security Agreement,
any Loan Documents, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising
therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.
15.10 No Conflict with Principal Agreements.
This Security Agreement and the rights (including the remedies) granted and the
duties imposed hereunder are not intended to conflict with or contravene the
Principal Agreements or the Licenses.
15.11 Time is of the Essence.
For all payments to be made and all obligations to be performed under the Loan
Documents, time is of the essence.
15.12 LIMITATION OF INTEREST.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION HEREOF, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AMOUNT OR RATE
OF INTEREST (INCLUDING TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE ANY DEFAULT RATE INTEREST OR
LATE PAYMENT CHARGE) PAYABLE, CONTRACTED FOR, CHARGED OR RECEIVED UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, FROM TIME TO TIME OR FOR
WHATEVER REASON, EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATE OR AMOUNT, IF ANY, SPECIFIED BY
APPLICABLE LAW ("MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE"). In the event any interest is charged
----------------
or received in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate ("Excess"), Debtor
-----------
acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge
31
or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and that any
Excess received by Secured Party shall be applied, first, to the payment of the
then outstanding and unpaid principal hereunder; second to the payment of the
other Obligations then outstanding and unpaid; and third, returned to Debtor, it
being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise
illegal relationship. Debtor recognizes that such an unintentional result could
inadvertently occur. All monies paid to Secured Party hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject
to any rebate of unearned interest as and to the extent required by applicable
law. By the execution of this Security Agreement, Debtor agrees that (i) the
credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by Debtor of such
Excess, and (ii) Debtor shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or
equitable, against Secured Party, based in whole or in part upon contracting
for, charging or receiving any interest or such amounts which are deemed to
constitute interest in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate. For the purpose of
determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or
received by Secured Party, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or
received from Debtor in connection with this Security Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread during the entire term of this
Security Agreement in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time
hereunder and the Maximum Interest Rate from time to time in effect in order to
lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable Laws.
The provisions of this Section 15.12 shall be deemed to be incorporated into
each of the other Loan Documents (whether or not any provision of this Section
is referred to therein). Each of the Loan Documents and communications relating
t any interest owed by Debtor and all figures set forth therein shall, for the
sole purpose of computing the extent of the Obligations, be automatically
recomputed by Debtor, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to
the adjustments or credits required by this Section.
15.13 Binding Effect; Jurisdiction; Summary Judgment.
The parties agree that the jurisdictions listed on SCHEDULE 4 are the proper
places to file financing statements with respect to the Collateral and the laws
of such states governing perfection and effect of perfection or non-perfection
of security interests in all collateral in which a security interest is
perfected by filing a financial statement under the Uniform Commercial Code.
This Security Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor, and the heirs, devisees,
administrators, executives, personal representatives, successors, receivers,
trustees, and (without limiting Section 12 hereof) assigns, including all
successors in interest of Debtor in and to all or any part of the Collateral,
and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, and the successors and assigns
of Secured Party. Debtor and Secured Party irrevocably consent and submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts sitting for New York
County, State of New York, and waive any objection based on venue or forum non
conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this
Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in any way connected
with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect
of this Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the
transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or
hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree
that any
32
dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the courts
described above (except that Secured Party shall have the right to bring any
action or proceeding against Debtor or its property in the courts of any other
jurisdiction which Secured Party deems necessary or appropriate in order to
realize on the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against Debtor or
its property). Debtor hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon
it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail
(return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth on the signature
pages hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days
after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, properly
addressed and postage prepaid, or, at Secured Party's option, by service upon
Debtor in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within
thirty (30) days after such service, Debtor shall appear in answer to such
process, failing which Debtor shall be deemed in default and judgment may be
entered by Secured Party against Debtor for the amount of the claim and other
relief requested.
15.14 Severability.
Whenever possible this Security Agreement, the Note and each Loan Document and
each provision hereof and thereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective, valid and enforceable under applicable Law. If and to the extent that
any such provision shall be held invalid and unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable any other provisions hereof or thereof, and any determination that
the application of any provision hereof or thereof to any person or under any
circumstance is illegal and unenforceable shall not affect the legality,
validity and enforceability of such provision as it may be applied to any other
person or in any other circumstance.
15.15 Counterparts; Captions; Construction.
This Security Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in
counterpart, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together
shall be and be deemed to be one and the same instrument. The headings, titles
and captions used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction of this Security Agreement or any term or provision hereof. The
inclusion of an example by way of illustration such as a parenthetical
("including . . .") shall not be construed as or deemed a limitation on the
generality of the general text to which it refers. Subject to Section 12, the
terms Debtor and Secured Party shall include heirs, devisees, executors,
administrators, personal representatives, successors, receivers, trustees and
assigns. The liability of all Persons comprising or constituting Debtor under
this Security Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be joint and several.
15.16 Exhibits and Schedules
All exhibits and schedules to this Security Agreement are attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

15.17 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization.
The Indebtedness and Obligations of Debtor as evidenced by the Note, this
Security Agreement, the Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents securing or
executed in connection with the Note (collectively, the "Subject Loan
-------------
Documents"), are cross collateralized and cross defaulted with any other note,
------------
mortgage or deed to secure debt, security agreement, loan document or agreement
executed in connection with or as security for the Indebtedness and Obligations
now or hereafter existing by Debtor to Secured Party (collectively, the "Cross
Pledged and Defaulted Loan Documents"). The existence of an Event of Default
---------------------------------------
under any of the Subject Loan Documents (after the expiration of any applicable
notice and cure periods) shall be deemed and shall constitute an Event of
Default under the Cross Pledged and Defaulted Loan Documents (without any
further notice and cure by Secured Party to Debtor which is hereby specifically
waived by Debtor for all purposes), and an Event of Default under any of the
Cross Pledged and Defaulted Loan Documents (after the expiration of any
applicable notice and cure periods), shall constitute an Event of Default under
the Subject Loan Documents (without any further notice and cure by Secured Party
to Debtor which is hereby specifically waived by Debtor for all purposes). The
Property and other Collateral (as such terms are defined in the Subject Loan
Documents) shall secure the Indebtedness and Obligations as evidenced by the
Cross Pledged and Defaulted Loan Documents, and the Property and other
Collateral as such terms are defined in the Cross Pledged and Defaulted Loan
Documents shall secure the Indebtedness and Obligations as evidenced by the
Subject Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party reserves the night, to undo, with
respect to any promissory note part of the Indebtedness and Obligations of
Debtor to Secured Party, any cross default or collateralization of such
promissory notes and the Collateral securing same to any other promissory note
part of the Indebtedness or Obligations of Debtor to Secured Party and the
Collateral securing such other promissory note, in its Sole Discretion.
15.18 Cooperation.
In the event that the Loan or part thereof is securitized or sold as a whole
loan, the Debtor shall agree (a) to meet with representatives of the national
credit rating agencies and prospective purchasers and investors of the Loan to
discuss the business and operations of the restaurants part of the Unit, (b) to
cooperate with the reasonable requests of such representatives, purchasers,
investors and the Secured Party, including agreeing to non-material
modifications of the Loan Documents, providing "comfort" letters concerning
Debtor's financial statements and legal opinions, delivering updated information
regarding Debtors, the Principals and the Collateral, and reviewing the Secured
Party's offering materials to the extent relating to the Debtor, the Unit (or
any restaurants part thereof) or the Loan, and (c) to take such other actions to
facilitate the securitization or whole loan sale as the Secured Party shall
request.
34
15.19 Public Announcement
Upon closing of the Loan, and at any time or from time to time thereafter,
Secured Party is authorized in its Sole Discretion to issue news releases and at
its own expense to publish announcements in newspapers, trade journals and other
appropriate media, containing information about the Loan as Secured Party may in
its Sole Discretion determine, including without limitation the legal and trade
name (and, if such information is public, the ownership affiliation) of Debtor,
the term and amount of the Loan, the Interest Rate, the name, nature and
location of the Property. This provision shall survive the closing of the Loan.

of each month thereafter during the term of the Loan, to deposit in to the
Revolving Credit Account (as such term is defined on SCHEDULE 5 attached
----------
hereto), the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) until the
available borrowing capacity in such account (excluding the Sinking Fund
Deposits made pursuant to Section 15.21 below) totals the Adjusted Maximum Re-
Imaging Balance (as defined below) at which time Debtor's obligations to make
further deposits under this Section 15.20 shall terminate (the "Re Imaging Fund
-- ------- ----
Doosits'). The term "Adjusted Maximum Re-Imaging Balance" as used in this
--------
Section 15.20 shall mean a balance equal to Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($225,000.00) less any expenditures ("Re-Imaging Expenditures") made

("Re-Imaging Units"). For a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the
---------------------
closing of the Loan, Debtor agrees not to make any withdrawals from the
Revolving Credit account which would reduce the balance therein below the
Adjusted Maximum Re-Imaging Balance. Debtor further agrees to complete the re-
imaging of the Re Imaging Units within the lesser of (a) twelve (12) months from
the date of the closing of the Loan or (b) the term required for the re-imaging
of such units under the applicable franchise agreements with Franchisor. Debtor
agrees to send to Secured Party (or to cause the bank maintaining the Revolving
Credit Account) to deliver to Secured Party on or before the tenth (10') day of
each month during the term of the Loan (i) a statement of account for the
Revolving Credit Account (showing all deposits and withdrawals made for the
immediately prior month), and (ii) a certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the nature and amount of the Re-Imaging Expenditures incurred in
connection with the applicable Re-Imaging Units (such units also described in
reasonable detail in such certificate) for the immediately prior month (and
attaching copies of paid invoices evidencing same) signed and certified to as
true and correct by an authorized officer of the Debtor; until such time as the
Re-Imaging Units have been re-imaged to the satisfaction of Franchisor and a
letter signed by Franchisor confirming same to the satisfaction of Secured Party
(in its Sole Discretion) has been delivered to Secured Party.
35
15.21 RMS Note - Sinking Fund Requirements
Debtor agrees on or before the twentieth (20') calendar day of each month,
beginning November 20, 2000 and continuing on the twentieth (20') calendar day
of each month thereafter for twelve (12) months during the term of the Loan, to
deposit in to the Revolving Credit Account, the amount of Eighty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($85,000.00) until the available borrowing capacity in such account
(excluding the Re-Imaging Fund Deposits made pursuant to Section 15.20 above)
totals the Adjusted Maximum Sinking Fund Balance (as defined below), at which
time Debtor's obligations to make further deposits under this Section 15.21
shall terminate (the "Sinking Fund Deposits"). The term "Adjusted Maximum
--------------------
Sinking Fund Balance" as used in this Section 15.21 shall mean a balance equal
to the amount of One Million Forty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Five and
No/100 Dollars ($1,047,565.00). During such twelve (12) month period during
which deposits hereunder are required, Debtor agrees not to make any withdrawals
from the Revolving Credit Account which would reduce the borrowing capacity of
the Revolving Credit Account (excluding the Re-Image Fund Deposits) below the
Adjusted Maximum Sinking Fund Balance. Upon the maturity date of the RMS Note
(as such term is defined on SCHEDULE 5 attached hereto), Debtor agrees to pay
----------
off such note with the Adjusted Maximum Sinking Fund Balance and to provide
evidence of same to Secured Party in form satisfactory to Secured Party in its
Sole Discretion. Debtor agrees to send to Secured Party (or to cause the bank
maintaining the Revolving Credit Account) to deliver to Secured Party on or
before the tenth ( 10th ) day of each month during the term of the Loan a
statement of account for the Revolving Credit Account (showing all deposits and
withdrawals made for the immediately prior month).
15.22 Liquidity Requirement
Debtor agrees to either (a) at all times maintain cash or Marketable Securities
(defined below) in an amount equal to two months of principal and interest
payments payable under the Loan (the "Cash/Marketable Securities Balance") or
----------------------------------
(b) maintain a Current Ratio (defined below), of no less than 0.75 to 1.00. The
term "Cash/Marketable Securities Balance" shall be determined on a quarterly
basis and shall mean the average daily balance with respect to all bank
accounts, available borrowings on the Debtors' Revolving Credit Account
(excluding the Re-Imaging Fund Deposits and the Sinking Fund Deposits), and
Marketable Securities accounts maintained by the Debtor for such quarter. The
Debtor's "Current Ratio" is defined as the current assets of Debtor divided by
the current liabilities of Debtor as calculated by Secured Party in its Sole
Discretion. The term "Marketable Securities" shall mean such marketable
securities as approved by Secured Party in its reasonable discretion.
