(b) to the extent not covered by subsection (a) above, all general intangibles (including causes of action) relating to, and all proceeds of, any or all of the foregoing Pledged Collateral;
provided, however, that if a Document or Instrument (each as defined in Attachment 1 hereto) or other agreement or lease of a Grantor may not be pledged by such Grantor hereunder without the consent or approval of a counterparty thereto, such Document, Instrument, agreement or lease shall not be deemed pledged to the Lender, and the Lender shall not be deemed to have a lien on or a security interest therein, until such consent or approval of such counterparty is obtained, and the Grantors shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain such consent or approval as soon as practicable following the first date on which such Document, Instrument, agreement or lease would otherwise be pledged to the Lender as Pledged Collateral hereunder.
For purposes of this Agreement, “proceeds” includes whatever is receivable or received when Pledged Collateral or proceeds are sold, exchanged, collected, or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, and includes proceeds of any indemnity or guaranty payable to Grantor or the Company from time to time with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral.

AMENDED & RESTATED GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 6
SECTION 9. The Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender to be Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor, from time to time in the Lender’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive, and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral;
(b) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, and chattel paper in connection with Section 9(a); and
(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral.
SECTION 10. The Lender May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any covenant or agreement herein, the Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or agreement, and the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor.
SECTION 11. Reasonable Care. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Lender accords its own property, it being understood that the Lender shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Persons with respect to any Pledged Collateral.
SECTION 12. Remedies upon an Event of Default; Recourse Nature of Grantor’s Obligations. If any Event of Default shall have occurred:
(a) The Lender may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a Lender on default under the UCC, or under the laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, at that time, and the Lender may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to 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. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral, regardless of whether notice of sale has been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private 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. The Lender is authorized to conduct any private sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in a manner that will not require the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws. In this regard, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Lender may, in its discretion, approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that a sale under those circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof then would otherwise be obtainable if the sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof were registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Each Grantor agrees that (i) if the Lender shall so sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at such a private sale or sales, the Lender shall have the right to rely upon the advice or opinion of any federally registered securities broker or dealer as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such a private sale and (ii) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Lender handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner.
AMENDED & RESTATED GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 7
(b) In addition to the rights of the Lender under Section 7, any cash held by the Lender as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in the discretion of the Lender, be held by the Lender as collateral for, and then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Lender against, the Obligations in such order as the Lender shall select. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds and interest accrued thereon, if any, held by the Lender and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to Grantors, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus, within a reasonable period of time; provided, that the Lender shall have no obligation to invest or otherwise pay interest on any amounts held by it in connection with or pursuant to this Security Agreement.
(c) Without limiting in any manner any of any Grantor’s obligations or any of the Lender's rights under any of the other terms and provisions of this Security Agreement or under any of the terms of the Notes, each Grantor’s liability, and the Lender's recourse to any assets of Grantor other than the Pledged Collateral, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall be per the Guaranty between the Lender and Grantors set forth herein.
SECTION 13. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Lender hereunder and all obligations of Grantors hereunder, and the security interest created hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents;
(b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Transaction Documents;
(c) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any collateral standing as security for the Obligations or any liabilities incurred directly or indirectly hereunder or any set-off against any of such liabilities, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or
(d) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Grantor, or any other Person that is obligated in respect of any of the Obligations.
SECTION 14. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (a) be binding upon each Grantor and its executors, trustees, receivers, successors and permitted assigns; and (b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender, and its trustees, receivers, successors and assigns. No Grantor may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Security Agreement without the Lender's prior written consent; and any such purported assignment without such consent shall be void and ineffective.
SECTION 15. Waiver of Marshalling. All rights of marshalling of assets of each Grantor, including any such right with respect to the Pledged Collateral, are hereby waived by Grantors.
AMENDED & RESTATED GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 8
SECTION 16. Additional Guarantors. The Company agrees that any Subsidiary (defined below) of the Company that is not already a party to this Agreement shall, within five (5) business days of becoming a Subsidiary, become a Subsidiary Grantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as Subsidiary Grantor herein, for all purposes of this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a written supplement substantially in the form of Annex A hereto. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Subsidiary Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Subsidiary Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Grantor as a party to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 16, “Subsidiary” means a corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other business entity of which a majority of the shares of securities or other interests having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or other governing body (other than securities or interests having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) are at the time beneficially owned, or the management of which is otherwise controlled, directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, or both, by the Company.
SECTION 17. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS EXECUTED BY THE PARTIES HERETO UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, ENFORCED UNDER, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW.
SECTION 19. Notices: Notices, reports, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be given by personal or courier service or by mail, and shall be deemed to be given and received (i) upon the addressee's receipt if delivered in person or by courier or (ii) upon the earlier of the addressee's receipt and three Business Days following the date such notices, reports, and payments are placed in the United States mail, if properly posted with postage prepaid, by certified mail in an envelope properly addressed, to the addresses denoted under the signatures of the Grantors and the Lender hereto or to such other address as any Party may specify in a written notice to the other Parties in accordance with this Section 19.

(the “Lender”).
A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.
B. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lender to make the Loans to the Company.
C. Section 16 of the Security Agreement provides that each Subsidiary of the Company that is required to become a party to the Security Agreement shall become a Subsidiary Grantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Grantor therein, for all purposes of the Security Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. Each undersigned subsidiary (each a “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Security Agreement to become a Subsidiary Grantor under the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lender to make the Loans.
Accordingly, the Lender and the New Grantors agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 16 of the Security Agreement, each New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Grantor and each New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Subsidiary Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, each New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, does hereby bargain, sell, convey, assign, set over, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate and transfer to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lender, and hereby grants to the Lender, a Security Interest in all of the Collateral of such New Grantor, in each case whether now or hereafter existing or in which it now has or hereafter acquires an interest. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include each New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. Each New Grantor represents and warrants to the Lender that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Supplement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Supplement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Lender and the Company. This Supplement shall become effective as to each New Grantor when the Lender shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of such New Grantor and the Lender.
A-1
SECTION 4. Such New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I hereto is (i) the legal name of such New Grantor, (ii) the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of such New Grantor, (iii) the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of such New Grantor (iv) the Federal Taxpayer Identification Number and organizational number of such New Grantor and (v) the true and correct location of the chief executive office and principal place of business and any office in which it maintains books of records relating to Collateral owned by it.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. This supplement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware.
SECTION 7. Any provision of this Supplement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and in the Security Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with the Security Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each New Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in the Security Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each New Grantor and the Lender have duly executed this Supplement to the Security Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
