After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any money, checks, notes, bills, drafts, or commercial paper received by the Company shall be held in trust for the Secured Party and shall be promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days after receipt by the Company) turned over to the Secured Party as its interest shall appear. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may make such payments and take such actions as the Secured Party deems necessary to protect its security interest in the Collateral or the value thereof, and the Secured Party is hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorized (without limiting the general nature of the authority hereinabove conferred) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any liens which in the judgment of the Secured Party appear to be equal to, prior to or superior to its security interest in the Collateral and any liens not expressly permitted by this Security Agreement.
4.3 Possession; Sale of Collateral.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may: (i) require the Company to assemble the tangible assets that comprise part of the Collateral and make them available to the Secured Party at any place or places reasonably designated by the Secured Party; (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, with or without notice or demand for performance and without liability for trespass, enter any premises where the Collateral may be located and peaceably take possession of the same, and may demand and receive such possession from any person who has possession thereof, and may take such measures as it may deem necessary or proper for the care or protection thereof (including, but not limited to, the right to remove all or any portion of the Collateral); and (iii) with or without taking such possession may sell or cause to be sold, in one or more sales or parcels, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, all or any portion of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or any securities exchange, without demand of performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale, except ten (10) days' written notice to the Company of the time and place of such sale or sales (and such other notices as may be required by applicable statute, if any, and which cannot be waived), which the Company hereby expressly acknowledges is commercially reasonable. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare any Collateral for sale. The Collateral may be sold or disposed of for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Secured Party shall deem appropriate. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Company. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Secured Party may determine. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. The Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any disposition of the Collateral. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Secured Party until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof. The Secured Party shall not incur any liability for the failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so and, in case of any such failure, shall not be under any obligation to take any action with respect thereto; provided, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. If any Collateral is sold upon credit, the Company will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Secured Party and applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.4. In the event the purchasers fail to pay for the Collateral, the Secured Party may resell the Collateral. At any public sale made pursuant to this Section 4.3, the Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal and all rights of marshalling, the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations (all such rights being also hereby waived and released by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law), and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Secured Party from the Company as a credit against the purchase price, and the Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Company therefor. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Secured Party may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Security Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. In any action hereunder, the Secured Party shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver without notice, to peaceably take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and to exercise such powers as the court shall confer upon the receiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Secured Party shall be entitled, in its discretion, to apply, upon written notice to the Company, any cash or cash items constituting Collateral in its possession to payment of the Obligations and to set off the Obligations against any and all liabilities or obligations owed by the Secured Party to the Company.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Secured Party shall, in addition to exercising any and all rights and remedies afforded to it hereunder, have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under all applicable provisions of law, including but not limited to the Code.
(c) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Secured Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to (i) operate any or all of the Collateral, (ii) perform any and all obligations of the Company under any contract included within the Collateral and exercise all rights of the Company thereunder, (ii) do all other acts which the Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect its security interest hereunder, and (iv) sell, assign, subcontract or otherwise transfer any such contract (subject, however, to the prior approval of each other party to such contract to the extent required thereunder). The Company agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement, the Company shall remain liable under each contract or other agreement giving rise to Accounts and general intangibles and all other contracts or agreements constituting part of the Collateral and the Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability in respect thereof.
(d) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Secured Party's request, the Company shall deliver to the Secured Party all original and other documents, evidencing and relating to the sale and delivery of Inventory or Accounts, including but not limited to, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts. The Company shall also furnish to the Secured Party, reasonably promptly upon the request of the Secured Party, such reports, reconciliations and aging balances regarding Accounts as the Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time.
(e) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall have the right (i) to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or distributions paid or payable in respect of any investment property included in the Collateral, (ii) to cause such investment property to be registered in the name of the Secured Party or its nominee, and (iii) to exercise all voting and other rights pertaining to such investment property and any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such investment property as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof. The Company hereby authorizes each issuer of investment property included in the Collateral to rely, without investigation, on any notice given by the Secured Party which states the existence of an Event of Default and requires compliance with instructions of the Secured Party with respect to such investment property, without requirement of any other or further instructions from the Company; and the Company agrees that each such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying with any such notice and instruction.

The Secured Party may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees and shall be entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder.
4.6 Certain Waivers; Company Not Discharged. The Company expressly and irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) presentment, demand for payment and protest of nonpayment in respect of its Obligations under this Security Agreement. The obligations and duties of the Company hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of the Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any grantee or any Collateral under the provisions of this Security Agreement or any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction in respect thereof, (b) any extension or renewal of any part of the Obligations, (c) the release of any security interests in any part of the Collateral or the release, sale or exchange of or failure to foreclose against any security held by or for the benefit of the Secured Party for payment or performance of the Obligations, (d) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any grantee or any other Persons, or (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Company or any grantee or any restructuring, refinancing, subordination or other change or variation in the terms of all or any portion of the Obligations.

Upon such transfer, the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of the Secured Party hereunder with respect to such of the Collateral as is so transferred, but, with respect to any of the Collateral not so transferred, the Secured Party shall retain all of its rights and powers (whether given to it in this Security Agreement, or otherwise).
5.1 Further Assurances. The Company agrees, at its expense, to do such further things, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request for the better preservation and perfection of the security interests and the rights and remedies created hereby, including but not limited to the execution and delivery of such schedules of Collateral and additional assignments, agreements and instruments, the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the granting and maintenance of the security interests created hereby and the execution, filing and recordation of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents as the Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or desirable for the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be immediately pledged and delivered to the Secured Party, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Secured Party. If any Collateral requires possession thereof to perfect the Secured Party's security interest hereunder, such Collateral shall be promptly delivered to the Secured Party or its agent. If at any time the Company shall take and perfect a security interest in any property to secure payment and performance of an Account, the Company, upon the request of the Secured Party, shall promptly assign such security interest to the Secured Party. The Company agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall upon request of the Secured Party, take any and all actions, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at its own expense, to obtain the approval of any governmental authority for any action or transaction contemplated by this Security Agreement that is then required by law, and specifically, without limitation, upon request of the Secured Party, to prepare, sign and file with any governmental authority the Company's portion of any application or applications for consent to the assignment of licenses held by the Company, or for consent to the possession and sale of any of the Collateral by or on behalf of the Secured Party. The Company shall at all times, at its own expense and cost, keep accurate and complete records with respect to the Collateral, including but not limited to a record of all payments and proceeds received in connection therewith or as a result of the sale thereof and of all credits granted, and agrees that the Secured Party or its representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time and from time to time to call at the Company's place or places of business to inspect the Collateral and to examine or cause to be examined all of the books, records, journals and other data relating to the Collateral and to make extracts therefrom or copies thereof as are reasonably requested.

In connection with the administration and enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy granted to the Secured Party hereunder or under any other security documents, the Company shall, subject to the limitations set forth hereafter, (a) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Secured Party from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities (including but not limited to liabilities for taxes and penalties) of whatever nature, incurred by or assessed against the Secured Party in connection with such administration, enforcement or exercise (including in connection with any workout, restructuring, bankruptcy or any similar proceeding), and (b) pay or reimburse the Secured Party for all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to the reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, incurred by or assessed against the Secured Party in connection with such administration, enforcement or exercise (including in connection with any workout, restructuring, bankruptcy or any similar proceeding), but not including any costs or expenses related to the negotiation, drafting or execution of this Security Agreement or related documents (except to the extent provided in Article 8 of the Purchase Agreement). The foregoing indemnity agreement includes all reasonable costs incurred by the Secured Party in connection with any litigation relating to the Collateral whether or not the Secured Party shall be a party to such litigation, including but not limited to the reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys for the Secured Party, and any out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Secured Party in appearing as a witness or in otherwise complying with legal process served upon it.

5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their successors and assigns, and nothing in this Security Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Secured Party shall assign this Security Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Party may assign its rights hereunder, subject to Section 4.7 above.
5.8 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions. The Company hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of all courts (state and federal) sitting in the State of New York in connection with any claim, action or proceeding relating to or for enforcement of this Security Agreement, and hereby waives any defense of inconvenient forum or other such claim or defense in respect of the lodging of any such claim, action or proceeding in any such court.

5.9 Waivers. No failure or delay of the Secured Party in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No course of conduct or course of dealing, or any delay, indulgence or other act or omission of the Secured Party, shall affect or impair, or constitute a waiver of, any of the Secured Party's rights or remedies hereunder, except to the extent set forth in a written agreement as provided in Section 5.10. No waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement or consent to any departure by the Company therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be evidenced as provided in Section 5.10, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
5.10 Amendments. Neither this Security Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended or modified, and no required performance hereunder may be waived, except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing signed by the party to be charged therewith.
5.11 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be limited in scope or effect to the extent necessary so as to permit such provision to be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
5.12 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective when copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the parties hereto shall be delivered or mailed to the Secured Party.
