(c) Necessary Filings. Financing Statements on Form UCC-1 have been prepared and delivered to Lender herewith. When this Security Agreement is duly executed and delivered and (i) such financing statements have been filed in the jurisdictions indicated thereon and (ii) this Security Agreement, and/or the Pledge of Patents or Trademark Security Agreement, is filed and accepted in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, then all filings shall have been made to create, preserve, protect and perfect the security interest granted by Debtor to Lender hereby in respect of such of the Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under Article 9 of the UCC or the filing of a security agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office. When such filings are duly made, the security interest granted to Lender pursuant to this Security Agreement in and to such Collateral constitutes and, as long as such filings remain in effect, hereinafter will constitute perfected Liens and security interest therein in favor of Lender.

(h) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by Debtor of this Security Agreement do not (or with notice of lapse of time or both, will not) violate, conflict with or constitute a default under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in their being declared void, voidable or without further binding effect any provision of any other material instrument or material agreement to which Debtor is a party.
4. Special Provisions Regarding Accounts.
(a) Special Representations and Warranties. As of the time when each of its Accounts arises, Debtor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such Accounts and all records, papers and documents relating thereto (i) are genuine and correct and in all material respects what they purport to be and (ii) will, except for the original or duplicate original invoice sent to a purchaser evidencing such purchaser’s account, be the only original writings evidencing and embodying such obligation of the Account Debtor named therein.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may transfer a full and complete copy of Debtor’s books, records, credit information, reports, memoranda and all other writings relating to the Accounts to and for the use by any Person that has acquired or is contemplating acquisition of an interest in the Accounts or Lender’s security interest therein without the consent of Debtor.
5 |
(c) Modification of Terms, etc. Except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, Debtor shall not rescind or cancel any material indebtedness evidenced by any Account or materially modify any term thereof or make any material adjustment with respect thereto, or extend or renew any such indebtedness, or compromise or settle any dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto, or sell any Account or interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed). Debtor shall timely fulfill in all material respects all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with the Accounts.
(d) Collection. Debtor shall cause to be collected from the Account Debtor of each of the Accounts, as and when due, any and all amounts owing under or on account of any such Account, and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Account, and Debtor may, with respect to an Account, allow in the ordinary course of business (i) a refund or credit due as a result of returned or damaged or defective merchandise and (ii) such extensions of time to pay amounts due in respect of Accounts and such other modifications of payment terms or settlements in respect of Accounts as shall be commercially reasonable in the circumstances, all in accordance with Debtor’s ordinary course of business consistent with its collection practices as in effect from time to time.

(c) Restriction on Licensing Intellectual Property. Debtor shall not license any Intellectual Property or any portion thereof reasonably necessary for the operation of Debtor’s business, or amend or permit the amendment of any of the Licenses in either case in a manner that adversely affects the right to receive any material amount of payments thereunder, or is in any manner adverse to the interests of Lender in the Intellectual Property without the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
6 |
6. Covenants. Debtor covenants and agrees with Lender that from and after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Outstanding Obligations are fully satisfied:
(a) Further Documentation; Pledge of Instruments. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Debtor, Debtor will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take such further action as Lender may reasonably deem desirable to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the liens and security interests granted hereby, transferring Collateral to Lender’s possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected only by possession), and using its best efforts to obtain waivers of Liens and consents to assignments from landlords and mortgagees. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, effective upon the failure or refusal of Debtor upon request to execute and/or deliver to Lender any financing statement, continuation statement, instrument, document, or agreement that Lender may reasonably deem desirable to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement and of the rights and powers granted hereunder (herein, “Supplemental Documentation”), to sign Debtor’s name on any such Supplemental Documentation and to deliver any such Supplemental Documentation to such Person as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall elect. Debtor also hereby authorizes Lender to file any financing or continuation statement without the signature of Debtor to the extent permitted by applicable law. Debtor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic, or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed by Lender in any filing office. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any Instrument or Document, such Instrument or Document shall be immediately pledged to Lender hereunder, and shall be duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Lender and delivered to Lender. In the event that Debtor shall acquire after the Closing Date any letters of credit, Securities, Chattel Paper, Documents, or Instruments having a value in excess of $10,000, Debtor shall promptly so notify Lender and deliver the originals of all of the foregoing to Lender and in any event within ten (10) days of each acquisition.
(b) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Debtor will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against and take such other action as is necessary to promptly remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Permitted Liens, and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to any of Debtor’s rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
7 |
(c) Right of Inspection. Lender and its representatives shall have the right after reasonable prior notice (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred) to enter into and upon any premises where any of the Collateral, or any records related thereto, are located from time to time during normal business hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting Lender’s interests therein.
(d) Continuous Perfection. Debtor will not change its name, identity, federal tax identification number or corporate structure in any manner which might make any financing or continuation statement filed in connection herewith seriously misleading within the meaning of Part 5 of Revised Article 9 of the UCC (or any other then applicable provision of the UCC) unless Debtor shall have given Lender at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have taken all action (or made arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change if it is impossible to take such action in advance) necessary or reasonably requested by Lender to amend such financing statement or continuation statement so that it is not seriously misleading.
(e) Deposit Accounts. Subject to any AR Lien, all proceeds in the Deposit Accounts shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Outstanding Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. No instruments deposited into any Deposit Account or otherwise received by Lender pursuant to this provision shall constitute final payment until finally collected.
(f) After-Acquired Property. If, before this Security Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 21 hereof, Debtor shall (i) obtain any rights to any additional Collateral or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any additional Collateral or any renewal or extension thereof, the provisions of this Security Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and any such item enumerated in clause (i) or (ii) with respect to Debtor shall automatically constitute Collateral if such would have constituted Collateral at the time of execution of this Security Agreement, and be subject to the Liens and security interests created by this Agreement without further action by any party other than actions required to perfect such security interest.
(g) Protection of Security. Debtor shall not take any action that impairs the rights of Lender in the Collateral; it being understood that nothing herein is intended to limit the rights of Debtor that are expressly provided for in this Security Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Debtor (i) will not enter into any agreement that would materially impair or conflict with Debtor’s obligations hereunder; (ii) will, promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify Lender of (a) any materially adverse determination or development in any proceeding with respect to any Collateral necessary for the operation of Debtor’s business, or (b) the institution of any proceeding or any adverse determination or development in any federal, state or, local court or administrative bodies regarding Debtor’s claim of ownership in or right to use any of the Collateral necessary for the operation of such Debtor’s business, or, with respect to Intellectual Property, its rights to register, as applicable, the Intellectual Property, or its right to keep and maintain such registration in full force and effect; (iii) will properly maintain and protect the Collateral necessary or appropriate for the operation of Debtor’s business; (iv) will not permit to lapse or become abandoned any Collateral, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (v) except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, will not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to the Collateral without the consent of Lender (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); (vi) will furnish to Lender from time to time statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to the Collateral as Lender may from time to time reasonably request, all in reasonable detail; and (vii) will comply in all material respects with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Collateral.

7. Change of Locations. Debtor covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:
(a) Debtor shall not add to or change any of the locations set forth in Schedule II or, except for the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business or Equipment or other Tangible Collateral that is moveable in the ordinary course of business, remove any Tangible Collateral other than motor vehicles from the locations specified therefor in Schedule II, without Lender’s prior written consent.
(b) Debtor shall notify Lender in writing of any proposed addition to or change in any of the locations described in Schedule II at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed change and shall furnish Lender with any information requested by Lender in considering the proposed change. In connection with any such addition or change, Debtor shall execute and file any financing statements required by Lender to perfect, preserve and protect the Liens of Lender in the Collateral.
(c) Debtor is and shall remain the owner of all of the locations described in Schedule II except any leased locations identified therein. Upon Lender’s request, Debtor shall use its best efforts to deliver to Lender a written waiver or subordination (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) of any Lien that the owner of any leased location might have with respect to the Collateral.
(d) Debtor shall not allow any of the Collateral that is not a fixture to become affixed to any real estate other than that shown as being owned by Debtor in Schedule II without the prior written consent of Lender. If at any time any of the Tangible Collateral should, notwithstanding the foregoing, be affixed to any other real estate, the security interest of Lender under this Security Agreement shall nevertheless attach to and include such Tangible Collateral. Debtor shall promptly furnish to Lender a description of any such real estate and the names of the record owners thereof, execute such additional financing statements and other documents as Lender may require, obtain from the owners of such real estate and the holders of any Liens thereon such Lien waiver or subordination agreements and other documents as Lender may request, and take such other actions as Lender may deem necessary or desirable to preserve and perfect Lender’s security interest in such Tangible Collateral as a first priority perfected security interest.
8. No Sale, Encumbrance, etc. Debtor will not, without the prior consent of Lender, (i) sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) except for Permitted Liens, permit any Lien to attach to any of the Collateral or any levy to be made thereon or any other financing statement to be on file with respect to any of the Collateral.
9. Insurance.
(a) Debtor shall keep the Tangible Collateral insured in such amounts, with such companies and against such risks as are required by the Credit Agreement and all such policies shall name Lender as an additional insured with loss payable to Lender as its respective interests may appear on the Tangible Collateral and with a specific endorsement to each such insurance policy pursuant to which the insurer agrees to give Lender at least thirty (30) days’ written notice before any alteration or cancellation of such insurance and that no act or default of Debtor shall affect the right of Lender to recover under such policy in the event of loss or damage. Debtor shall cause duplicate originals of such insurance policies to be deposited with Lender. If requested by Lender, Debtor shall, at least 10 days prior to the due date, furnish to Lender evidence of the payment of the premiums due on such policies.
(b) Debtor hereby assigns to Lender each policy of insurance covering any of the Collateral, including all rights to receive the proceeds and returned premiums of such insurance. With respect to all such insurance policies, Lender is hereby authorized, but not required, on behalf of Debtor, to collect for, adjust and compromise any losses and to apply the loss proceeds as provided in the Credit Agreement.
(c) In case of a sale pursuant to the default provisions hereof, or any conveyance of all or any part of the Collateral in extinguishment of the Outstanding Obligations, title to all such insurance policies and the proceeds thereof and unearned premiums with respect thereto shall pass to and vest in the purchaser of the Collateral.
10. Taxes and Assessments. Debtor shall pay when due all taxes, assessments and other charges levied or assessed against any of the Collateral, and all other claims that are or may become Liens against any of the Collateral, except any that are Permitted Liens or that are being contested by Debtor; and should default be made in the payment of same, Lender, at its option, may pay them.
11. Care of Tangible Collateral; Notice of Loss, etc. Debtor shall: (i) at all times maintain the Tangible Collateral over the useful life of the Tangible Collateral in as good condition as necessary to operate its business, reasonable wear and tear alone excepted; (ii) not use the Tangible Collateral, or permit it to be used, in violation of any Law; and (iii) notify Lender promptly in writing of any event causing material loss or depreciation in value in excess of $10,000 of any material portion of the Collateral and of the amount thereof (other than ordinary wear and tear and depreciation in accordance with GAAP).
9 |
12. Filing Fees and Taxes. Debtor covenants and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to pay all recording and filing fees, revenue stamps, taxes and other expenses and charges payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the recording, filing, satisfaction, continuation and release thereof.
13. Use of Tangible Collateral. Debtor covenants and agrees (i) not to conceal or abandon (except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices) the Tangible Collateral; and (ii) not to lease or hire any of the Tangible Collateral to any person or permit the same to be leased or used for hire except pursuant to Permitted Liens or otherwise in the ordinary course of business.
14. Reporting and Recordkeeping. Debtor covenants and agrees with Lender that from and after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Outstanding Obligations have been fully satisfied:
(a) Maintenance of Records Generally. Debtor will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral. Upon reasonable notice from Lender and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, Debtor shall permit any representative of Lender to inspect such books and records during normal business hours and will provide photocopies thereof to Lender. Lender shall have the right to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Debtor with and be advised as to the same by the officers thereof. Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs any accountants at any time acting for Debtor to give Lender any information Lender may request regarding the financial affairs of Debtor and to furnish Lender with copies of any documents in their possession related thereto.
(b) Further Identification of Collateral. Debtor will if so requested by Lender furnish to Lender, as often as Lender reasonably requests, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Lender may reasonably request, in all reasonable detail.
15. Events of Default. Any of the following events or conditions shall, after applicable notice and cure periods set forth below, constitute an “Event of Default” under this Security Agreement:
(a) the occurrence, after applicable notice and cure periods, of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement;
(b) any warranty or representation made to Lender in Section 3 hereof proves to have been false, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; or
10 |
(c) Debtor shall fail or neglect to perform, keep or observe any other material term, provision, condition or covenant contained in this Security Agreement which is required to be performed, kept or observed by Debtor (other than those described in paragraphs 15(a) and 15(b) above) and such failure (provided it is curable) is not cured to the Lender’s satisfaction as promptly as possible (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after Debtor has been notified, or acquires actual knowledge, of such failure.
16. Remedies; Rights Upon Default.
(a) If, after applicable notice and cure periods, an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Outstanding Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, Debtor expressly agrees that in any such event Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Debtor or any person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (on contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of Lender’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption Debtor hereby releases. Debtor further agrees, at Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Debtor’s premises or elsewhere. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, as provided in Section 16(d) hereof. Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Debtor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Lender. Debtor agrees that Lender need not give more than 15 days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters.
11 |
(b) In addition to, and not in limitation of, Lender’s rights pursuant to Section 14(a) hereof, but at all times subject to the AR Lien, Lender may at any time, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (whether or not waived), after first giving three days’ notice of its intention to do so, open Debtor’s mail and collect any and all amounts due from Account Debtors and notify Account Debtors of Debtor, parties to the Contracts of Debtor, holders of all Deposit Accounts, obligors of Instruments of Debtor and obligors in respect of Chattel Paper of Debtor that the Accounts and the right, title and interest of Debtor in and under such Contracts, such Instruments, such Deposit Accounts and such Chattel Paper have been assigned to Lender and that payments shall be made directly to Lender or to a lockbox designated by Lender. Upon request of Lender, Debtor will so notify such Account Debtors, parties to such Contracts, holders of such Deposit Accounts, and Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper. In addition, Lender may enforce payment of any Accounts (subject to the AR Lien), Contracts, Instruments, and Chattel Paper, prosecute any action or proceeding with respect thereto, extend the time of payment thereof, make allowances and adjustments with respect thereto, and issue credits against the same, all in the name of Lender or Debtor, and settle, compromise, extend, renew, release, terminate or discharge, in whole or in part, any Account, Contract, Instrument or Chattel Paper, all as Lender may deem advisable.
(c) Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(d) The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by Lender in the following order of priorities:
first, to Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full the reasonable expenses of Lender in connection with such sale, disposition or other realization, including all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Lender in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney’s fees, reasonable paralegal charges and court costs (including for appeals);
second, to Lender, for the benefit of the Lender, in an amount equal to the then unpaid Outstanding Obligations; and
finally, upon payment in full of all of the Outstanding Obligations, to pay to Debtor, or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from such Proceeds.
(e) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of Lender, Debtor shall execute and deliver to Lender an assignment or assignments of the registered Trademarks and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Security Agreement. Within five Business Days of written notice thereafter from Lender, Debtor shall make available to Lender, to the extent within Debtor’s power and authority, such personnel in Debtor’s employ on the date of the Event of Default as Lender may reasonably designate to permit Debtor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise, and sell the products and services sold by Debtor under the registered Trademarks, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on Lender’s behalf.

Repossession, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may (i) enter upon the premises of Debtor or any other place where any Collateral is located, and through self-help and without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving Debtor notice and opportunity for a hearing and without any obligation to pay rent, remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of Lender for such time as Lender may desire to collect or liquidate the Collateral; (ii) require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at Debtor’s premises or any other place selected by Lender, and to make available to Lender all of Debtor’s premises and facilities for the purpose of Lender’s taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in salable form; and (iii) use, and permit any purchaser of any of the Collateral from Lender to use, without charge, Debtor’s labels, General Intangibles and advertising matter or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to or is included in the Collateral, in advertising, preparing for sale and selling any Collateral, and in finishing the processing, packaging and delivery of the Inventory; and Debtor’s rights under all Licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit. Debtor irrevocably invites Lender and its agents to enter upon any premises on which any of the Collateral is now or hereafter located for all purposes related to the Collateral, including repossession thereof, and consents to any such entry and repossession. Any such entry by Lender or its agents shall not be a trespass upon such premises and any such repossession shall not constitute conversion of any Collateral.
18. Attorney-in-Fact After Default. Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Lender, or any person whom Lender may designate, as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, at Debtor’s sole cost and expense, to exercise at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the following powers, all of which powers, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all of the Outstanding Obligations are paid in full and this Security Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, but subject to the AR Lien with respect to Accounts: (i) to transmit to Account Debtors and other parties to Accounts, Contracts, Instruments and Chattel Paper, notice of Lender’s Liens thereon and to demand and receive from such Account Debtors and other parties information concerning the Accounts, Contracts, Instruments and Chattel Paper; (ii) to notify such Account Debtors and other parties to make payments on the Accounts, Contracts, Instruments and Chattel Paper directly to Lender or to a lock box designated by Lender; (iii) to take or to bring, in the name of Debtor or in the name of Lender, all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Lender necessary or desirable to effect collection of the Accounts, Contracts, Instruments and Chattel Paper; (iv) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Debtor that is received by Lender; (v) to receive, take, endorse, assign and deliver in Lender’s or Debtor’s name any documents or instruments relating to Accounts, Contracts, Instruments and Chattel Paper; (vi) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend, renew, discharge, terminate or release the Collateral in whole or in part or any legal proceedings brought to collect the Collateral; (vii) to prepare, file and sign Debtor’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor or other party to any Contract, Instrument or Chattel Paper; (viii) to exercise all of Debtor’s other rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Collateral; and (ix) to do all acts and things necessary, in Lender’s sole judgment, to carry out the purposes of this Security Agreement or to fulfill Debtor’s obligations hereunder. All acts of such attorney-in-fact or designee taken pursuant to this section are hereby ratified and approved by Debtor and said attorney shall not be liable for any acts or omissions, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, except where same constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

19. Limitation on Lender’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. Lender shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if it takes such reasonable actions for that purpose as Debtor shall request in writing, but Lender shall have sole power to determine whether such actions are reasonable. Any omission to do any act not requested by Debtor shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. Upon request of Debtor, Lender shall account for any moneys received by it in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral. Debtor shall give Lender written notice within 24 hours of the date of repossession if Debtor alleges that any other property of Debtor was left on or in the repossessed Collateral at the time of repossession; and such notice shall be an express condition precedent to any action for loss or damages in connection therewith. After receiving any such notice Lender will have a reasonable time to notify Debtor as to where Debtor can collect such property.
20. Term of Agreement; Reinstatement. This Security Agreement and the security interests granted hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Outstanding Obligations have been paid in full and Lender shall have no further obligation to extend any further credit to Debtor. Further this Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Debtor for liquidation or reorganization, should Debtor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Debtor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Outstanding Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Outstanding Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Outstanding Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

All such amounts shall bear interest from the date demand is made at the default rate of interest provided for in Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement and shall be included in the Outstanding Obligations.

15 |
23. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
24. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Lender and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Lender and, where applicable, by Debtor.
25. Successors and Assigns; Governing Law.
(a) This Security Agreement and all obligations of Debtor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Debtor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, inure to the benefit of Lender, all future holders of the Note evidencing the Loan and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Outstanding Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the security interest granted to Lender hereunder.
(b) THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PROVISIONS THEREOF REGARDING CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
26. Further Indemnification. Debtor agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement.
27. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.
16 |
28. No Oral Agreements. This Security Agreement is the final expression of the agreement between the parties hereto, and this Security Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior oral agreement between such parties. All previous oral agreements between the parties hereto have been incorporated into this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and there is no unwritten oral agreement between the parties hereto in existence.
29. Advances by Lender. If Debtor shall fail to comply with any of the provisions of this Security Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be required to) make advances to perform the same, and where necessary enter any premises where any Collateral is located for the purpose of performing Debtor’s obligations under any such provision. Debtor agrees to repay all such sums advanced upon demand, with interest from the date such advances are made at the default rate of interest provided for in Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement, and all sums so advanced with interest shall be a part of the Outstanding Obligations. The making of any such advances shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default resulting from Debtor’s failure to pay such amounts.
30. Debtor Liable on Contracts. Notwithstanding anything in this Security Agreement to the contrary (i) Debtor shall remain liable under the Contracts to perform all of Debtor’s duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Security Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by Lender of any rights hereunder shall not release Debtor from any of Debtor’s obligations under the Contracts, and (iii) Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under the Contracts by reason of this Security Agreement or the receipt by Lender of any payment hereunder, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under the Contracts, to take any action to collect, file and enforce any claim for payment assigned to Lender hereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or the adequacy of any performance by any party.
31. Construction of Agreement.
(a) General. In this Security Agreement, references to statutes or regulations are to be construed as including all statutory or regulatory provisions consolidated, amending or replacing the statute or regulation referred to unless otherwise stated; references to articles, parts, sections, paragraphs, clauses, schedules or exhibits are to this Security Agreement unless otherwise indicated; references to agreements and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all exhibits, schedules and appendices attached thereto; and the use of the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import shall refer to this Security Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of the Agreement.

DEBTOR AGREES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, EVEN IF FOUND NOT TO BE STRICTLY ENFORCEABLE BY ANY COURT, SHALL CONSTITUTE “FAIR WARNING” TO DEBTOR THAT THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER DEBTOR’S LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY SUBJECT DEBTOR TO THE JURISDICTION OF EACH STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN XXXXXXXXXX COUNTY, ALABAMA WITH RESPECT TO ANY AGREEMENT ACTIONS AND THAT IT IS FORESEEABLE BY DEBTOR THAT DEBTOR MAY BE SUBJECTED TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND MAY BE SUED IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA IN ANY AGREEMENT ACTION. Nothing in this section shall affect or impair the right of the Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any Agreement Action in the courts of other jurisdictions.
