b. All
Collateral is and shall be located in New York State except as previously

Pledgor.
c. Pledgor
is the owner of the Collateral free and clear of any other security interests,
liens or encumbrances (voluntary or involuntary) of any nature or
kind.
2
d. Pledgor’s
execution of this Security Agreement has been authorized by all necessary
corporate action and, if required, all necessary shareholders’
action. Pledgor’s execution of this Security Agreement and
performance of its obligations hereunder does not contravene or violate any
agreement, law or regulation which binds Pledgor, and if Pledgor is a
corporation, its Certificate of Incorporation as amended from time to time or
By-Laws.
e. No
representation or warranty made by Pledgor, if any, to Bank at any time in any
agreement is untrue or incorrect as of the date this Security Agreement was
executed. All other information furnished to Bank at any time,
including Pledgor’s and Company’s if any, most recent financial statements is
accurate and complete in all material respects.
f. All
Pledgor’s Accounts arose from bona fide outright sales of goods or services and
are valid obligations of the Account debtor without offset, defense or
counterclaim. None of Pledgor’s Accounts are or will be subject to any security
interest, lien or assignment except for security interests in favor of
Bank.
g. All
Pledgor’s Fixtures are located at and/or attached to the real properties
previously described to Bank in writing by Pledgor.
h. Pledgor
has paid and is current on all tax obligations including but not limited to

i. There
are no pending or threatened lawsuits, court actions, proceedings or
arbitrations against Pledgor.
j. Pledgor
is not in default under the terms or provisions of any other loan arrangement,
loan financing, contractual relationship or agreement.
4. Pledgor
agrees that until the Indebtedness is paid in full, and Pledgor and Company no
longer have any rights to borrow under any Agreement with Bank, Pledgor
will:
a. Maintain
all records, ledgers sheets, correspondence and documents and other writings
relating to the Collateral at Pledgor’s principal place of
business. Bank shall at all times have reasonable access to and the
right to inspect and/or audit Pledgor’s books and records, inspect, confirm and

debtors.
c. Defend
the Collateral against all claims and demands of any Entity claiming any
interest thereon.
d. Immediately
notify Bank in writing of any change in its name, address or any material damage
to any Collateral.
3
e. Keep
the Collateral fully insured at its own expense with insurance companies
acceptable to Bank, against loss by fire, explosion and other causes ordinarily
included within the term “extended coverage” in amounts satisfactory to Bank and
sufficient to prevent Pledgor from becoming a co insurer within the terms of the
insurance policies. Pledgor will also maintain insurance from all other hazards
and risks commonly insured against by companies engaged in a similar business.
The insurance covering the Collateral shall name Bank as an additional insured,
secured party and loss payee, and the insurance company shall agree to give Bank
thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation or reduction in coverage.
Pledgor will provide Bank with Certificates of insurance showing such
designations and agreement concerning notice of cancellation and on demand, the
originals of all insurance policies. Pledgor will promptly provide Certificates
of insurance satisfactory to Bank for all renewals of the policies.
In the event any Collateral is lost or
destroyed, Pledgor will promptly remit, for application to the Indebtedness
(whether or not the Indebtedness has been accelerated, demanded or is otherwise
then due) all insurance proceeds received by Pledgor in connection with the
damage to or destruction of any Collateral. Bank may prosecute and settle all
insurance claims relating to the Collateral, and may endorse Pledgor’s name on
any insurance checks and drafts whether or not the Indebtedness has been
accelerated, demanded or is otherwise then due. Bank may apply any insurance
proceeds received by it to any part of the Indebtedness as it sees
fit.
f. Except
for either sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, or liens
previously disclosed to Pledgor in writing and accepted by Bank, Pledgor will
not sell, assign, pledge or in any way encumber any Collateral whether now owned
or hereafter acquired. Pledgor will not acquire or finance any property subject
to a purchase money security interest.
g. Comply
with all terms and conditions of any lease covering any premises where any
Collateral is located. Pledgor will comply with all laws, rules and regulations
relating to its business.
h. Except
as previously described to Bank in writing, Pledgor will not allow any personal
property to become a fixture at any other real property without prior written

Fixtures.

the Bank of any current or imminent material adverse change or deterioration of
the Pledgor’s financial condition.
l. Pledgor

may file financing statements to perfect its security interest in the Collateral
without Pledgor’s signature including financing statements filed to perfect the
Bank’s lien position under revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code. Pledgor will deliver physical possession of all instruments
currently existing to Bank, and upon Pledgor’s receipt, all instruments
hereafter acquired by Pledgor. Upon demand, Pledgor will deliver
physical possession of all Chattel Paper and Documents to
Bank. Pledgor will not accept prepayments on any instruments or

to Bank.

will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments upon the
Collateral. Pledgor authorizes Bank to and Bank may, at its option,
(but shall not be obligated to) discharge taxes, liens, security interests, or
other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral, and may pay
for insurance on the Collateral, and may pay for maintenance and preservation of
the Collateral. If Pledgor fails to do anything which it undertakes
to do under this Security Agreement, Bank may do the same, but shall not be
obligated to take any action. Pledgor agrees to reimburse Bank on
demand for any reasonable attorneys fees or other costs of collection or costs

obligations, direct or contingent, of Pledgor to Bank, now due or to become due
whether now existing or hereafter arising, (the Note and such other obligations
being herein referred to as the “Obligations”), Pledgor gives Bank a security
interest in all funds, deposits and other property, and the proceeds thereof,
now or hereafter in the possession or control of Bank for the account of Pledgor
(the “Deposits”). Bank may at its option and at any time(s), with or
without notice to Pledgor, set off or realize upon any and all Deposits, and
apply them to the payment or reduction of all or any of the Obligations (whether
or not then due), in such manner as Bank may determine, in its sole
discretion. Bank shall not be obligated to assert or enforce any
rights under this paragraph or to take any action in reference thereto, and Bank
may in its discretion at any time(s) relinquish its rights under this paragraph

exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Bank
will be effective unless it is confirmed in writing and then only to the extent
specifically stated. To the extent that the indebtedness is now or hereafter
secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement
or property of any other Entity, Bank shall have the right in its sole
discretion, to determine which rights, securities, liens, security interests or
remedies Bank shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, or
take any action with respect thereto without in any way modifying or affecting
any of Bank’s rights hereunder.
10. Pledgor
shall pay all Bank’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred and to be incurred in
enforcing and collecting the Indebtedness and in enforcing Bank’s rights in
Collateral (including but not limited to any proceedings brought under the
Bankruptcy Code).
11. All
rights of Bank under this Security Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its
successors and assigns, and all obligations of Pledgor shall bind its successors
and assigns, legal representatives, heirs and distributees.
12. This
Security Agreement is governed by New York law. PLEDGOR WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A
JURY TRIAL IN ANY LITIGATION OF ANY NATURE OR KIND IN WHICH PLEDGOR AND BANK ARE
BOTH PARTIES. Any litigation involving this Security Agreement shall, at Bank’s
option, be triable only in a court located in Wyoming County, New York. Pledgor
waives the right to require Bank to post a bond or undertaking in any action,
including an action commenced under CPLR Article 71. Pledgor acknowledges that
it has transacted business in New York State with regard to this Security
Agreement.
13. Pledgor’s
execution of this Security Agreement does not modify, terminate or impair Bank’s
rights or Pledgor’s obligations under existing Security Agreements, if any,
previously executed and delivered to Bank by Pledgor. All such Security
Agreements and any financing statements filed in connection with those Security
Agreements remain in full force and effect. All existing UCC 1 financing
statements filed against Pledgor by Bank in any public office, if any, shall
also relate to the security interest created in this Security Agreement, even
though Bank intends to file additional UCC 1 financing statements. The future
execution and delivery by Pledgor of a Security Agreement in favor of Bank shall
not modify, impair or terminate Bank’s rights or Pledgor’s obligations under
this Security Agreement.
8
14. This
Security Agreement may not be modified or terminated orally. Wherever used in
