the following actions with respect to the following Collateral and without
limitation on the Grantor’s other obligations contained in this
Agreement:
4.1. Instruments and Tangible
Chattel Paper. If the Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any

If the Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities,
the Grantor shall promptly notify Secured Party of such certificated securities
and forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Secured Party,
accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank
as the Secured Party may from time to time specify. If any securities

the Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, the Grantor shall
immediately notify the Secured Party thereof and, at the Secured Party’s request
and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Secured Party, either (a) cause the issuer to agree to comply, without further
consent of the Grantor or such nominee, at any time with instructions from the
Secured Party as to such securities, or (b) arrange for the Secured Party to
become the registered owner of the securities. If any securities,
whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or

a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, the Grantor shall
immediately notify the Secured Party thereof and, at the Secured Party’s request
and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Secured Party, either (i) cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may
be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply, in each case without further
consent of the Grantor or such nominee, at any time with entitlement orders or

Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any
relevant jurisdiction, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Secured Party

jurisdiction, of such electronic document or control, under Section 201 of the

case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in
effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Secured

record permitted under Section 9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
State, Section 7-106 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or, as the case

insurance laws, regulations and policies and otherwise shall be in such amounts,
contain such terms, be in such forms and be for such periods as may be
reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party. In addition, all such
insurance shall be payable to the Secured Party as additional insured (with
respect to liability insurance policies) or loss payee (with respect to property
insurance policies). Without limiting the foregoing, the Grantor will

endorsement and an “agreed amount” clause in an amount equal to 100% of the full

or similar insurance as may be required by law and (iii) maintain, in amounts
and with deductibles equal to those generally maintained by businesses engaged
in similar activities in similar geographic areas, general public liability
insurance against claims of bodily injury, death or property damage occurring,
on, in or about the properties of the Grantor; business interruption insurance;
and product liability insurance.

9.2. Insurance Proceeds.
The proceeds of any casualty insurance in respect of any casualty loss of any of
the Collateral shall, subject to the rights, if any, of other parties with an
interest having priority in the property covered thereby, (i) so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and to the extent that the
amount of such proceeds is less than $10,000, be disbursed to the Grantor for
direct application by the Grantor solely to the repair or replacement of the
Grantor’s property so damaged or destroyed and (ii) in all other circumstances,
be held by the Secured Party as cash collateral for the Obligations. The Secured
Party may, at its sole option, disburse from time to time all or any part of
such proceeds so held as cash collateral, upon such terms and conditions as the
Secured Party may reasonably prescribe, for direct application by the Grantor
solely to the repair or replacement of the Grantor’s property so damaged or
destroyed, or the Secured Party may apply all or any part of such proceeds to
the Obligations.
9.3. Continuation of
Insurance. All policies of insurance shall provide for at least thirty
(30) days prior written cancellation notice to the Secured Party. In
the event of failure by the Grantor to provide and maintain insurance as herein
provided, the Secured Party may, at its option, provide such insurance and
charge the amount thereof to the Grantor. The Grantor shall furnish
the Secured Party with certificates of insurance and policies evidencing
compliance with the foregoing insurance provision.
10. Collateral Protection
Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.
10.1. Expenses Incurred by Secured
Party. In the Secured Party’s discretion, the Secured Party may discharge
taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the
Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees or insurance
premiums, in each case to the extent that the Grantor fails to do
so. The Grantor agrees to reimburse the Secured Party on demand for
all expenditures so made. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to the
Grantor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed
as a waiver or cure any Event of Default.
10.2. Secured Party’s Obligations
and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Grantor
shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised in
the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Grantor
thereunder. The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or
liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of
this Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to
any of the Collateral, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to
perform any of the obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any such
contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any
payment received by the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the
sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or
agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any
performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to the Secured Party or to which the Secured Party may be entitled at
any time or times. The Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the
custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or
otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the
Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.

11. Securities and
Deposits. The Secured Party may at any time following and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to itself or any
nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and
hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the
Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, the Secured
Party may following and during the continuance of an Event of Default demand,
xxx for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable
with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any
other security for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time
credited by or due from the Secured Party to the Grantor may at any time be
applied to or set off against any of the Obligations.
12. Notification to Account
Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral. The Grantor shall, at
the request and option of the Secured Party, notify account debtors and other
persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of the
Secured Party in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or
other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Secured
Party or to any financial institution designated by the Secured Party as the
Secured Party’s agent therefor, and the Secured Party may itself, without notice
to or demand upon the Grantor, so notify account debtors and other persons
obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the
giving of any such notification, the Grantor shall hold any proceeds of
collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and
other Collateral received by the Grantor as trustee for the Secured Party
without commingling the same with other funds of the Grantor and shall turn the
same over to the Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any
necessary endorsements or assignments. The Secured Party shall apply
the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles,
instruments and other Collateral received by the Secured Party to the
Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in
cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to
them.
11
13. Power of
Attorney.
13.1. Appointment and Powers of
Secured Party. The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of the Grantor or in the Secured
Party’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement,
to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and
instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives
said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice to
or assent by the Grantor, to do the following: (a) upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer,
pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with
any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction and as fully and
completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and to do, at the Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to
time, all acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary or useful to
protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s
security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all
no less fully and effectively as the Grantor might do, including, without
limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer
applications with the appropriate federal, state or local agencies or
authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and
processes, (ii) upon written notice to the Grantor, the exercise of voting
rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if the
Secured Party so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the
issuer of any such securities and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording,
in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with
respect to such Collateral; and (b) to the extent that the Grantor’s
authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file such financing
statements with respect hereto, with or without the Grantor’s signature, or a
photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the
Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in the Grantor’s name such
financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which
may require the Grantor’s signature.
13.2.
Ratification by
Grantor. To the extent permitted by law, the Grantor hereby ratifies all
that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable.
13.3. No Duty on Secured
Party. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to
protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only
for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such
powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents
shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for
the Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12
14. Rights and Remedies.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party,
without any other notice to or demand upon the Grantor, shall have in any
jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other
rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction and any
additional rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party in any
jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the
right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Secured
Party may, so far as the Grantor can give authority therefor, enter upon any
premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same
therefrom. The Secured Party may in its discretion require the
Grantor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or
locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Grantor’s principal office(s) or at
such other locations as the Secured Party may reasonably
designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to
decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, the Secured Party shall give to the Grantor at least five (5) Business
Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral
or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is
to be made. The Grantor hereby acknowledges that five (5) Business
Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable
notice. In addition, the Grantor waives any and all rights that it
may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the
Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation,
its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the
Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect
thereto.
15. Standards for Exercising
Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on
the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the
Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses to prepare Collateral for
disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process
into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to
obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected
or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account
debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or
encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise
collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the
same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or
any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers
to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of
a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites
that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral
or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or
credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risks of loss,
collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Party a
guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to
the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of
other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist
the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The
Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 15 is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Party
would fulfill the Secured Party’s duties under the Uniform Commercial Code of
the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Secured Party’s exercise of
remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on
account of not being indicated in this Section 15. Without limitation
upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 15 shall be construed to
grant any rights to the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Secured Party
that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable
law in the absence of this Section 15.
13
16. No Waiver by Secured Party,
Etc. The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its
rights and remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such
waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay
or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy
shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or
remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and
remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral,
whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or
concurrently at such time or at such times as the Secured Party deems
expedient.
17. Suretyship Waivers by
Grantor. The Grantor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance
of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or
delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and
notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and
the Collateral, the Grantor assents to any extension or postponement of the time
of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of
or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition
or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the
acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or
adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the
Secured Party may deem advisable. The Secured Party shall have no
duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income
therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation
of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in
Section 10.2. The Grantor further waives any and all other suretyship
defenses.
18. Marshaling. The
Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances
of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral
security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its
rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and
other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that
it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law
relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede
the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement
or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or
under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the
Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the
extent that it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits
of all such laws.
19. Proceeds of Dispositions;
Expenses. The Grantor shall pay to the Secured Party on demand any and
all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred
or paid by the Secured Party in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Secured
Party’s rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any
of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue
of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of Collateral shall,
to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the
Obligations in such order or preference as the Secured Party may determine,
proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then
due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the
Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or
9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, any excess shall be
returned to the Grantor. In the absence of final payment and
satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, the Grantor shall remain liable
for any deficiency.
14
20. Overdue Amounts.
Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the Grantor hereunder shall be a debt
secured by the Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment,
interest at the rate equal to the highest interest rate allowed by the laws of
the State or as otherwise provided by the Note.
21. Governing
Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES). WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE GRANTOR IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM. SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, THE GRANTOR AGREES THAT FINAL
JUDGMENT AGAINST IT IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT, A
CERTIFIED COPY OF WHICH JUDGMENT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THEREOF AND THE
AMOUNT OF ITS INDEBTEDNESS, OR BY SUCH OTHER MEANS PROVIDED BY LAW; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, NOTHING IN
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE SECURED PARTY FROM
BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE
ON THE COLLATERAL (AS DEFINED IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT) OR ANY OTHER SECURITY
FOR THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NOTE OR THIS AGREEMENT, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT
OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF SECURED PARTY. GRANTOR HEREBY
EXPRESSLY (A) SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION
OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE
BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND (C)
HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED
APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF
THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND
AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ANY SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE
BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN
SECTION 23 HERETO AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE
EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S.
MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.
15
22. Waiver
of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY
OTHER DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. EACH PARTY HERETO
(I) CERTIFIES THAT NEITHER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR
ATTORNEYS HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (II)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS HEREIN.
