(a) the obligations of the Grantor from time to time arising under the Loan Agreements or this Security Agreement, respectively, or otherwise with respect to the due and prompt payment of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Loan Agreements (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment, or otherwise and (ii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, reimbursement obligations, contract causes of action, expenses, and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Grantor under or in respect of the Loan Agreements and this Security Agreement, respectively; and
(b) all other covenants, duties, debts, obligations, and liabilities of any kind of the Grantor under or in respect of the Loan Agreements or this Security Agreement, respectively, or any other document made, delivered, or given in connection with any of the foregoing, in each case whether evidenced by a note or other writing, whether allowed in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or other similar proceeding, whether arising from an extension of credit, issuance of a letter of credit, acceptance, loan, guaranty, indemnification, or otherwise, and whether primary, secondary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, fixed or otherwise (all such obligations, covenants, duties, debts, liabilities, sums, and expenses set forth in this Section 1 being herein collectively referred to as the “Obligations”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1 (including subclauses (i) through (xxv)) and in clauses (a) and (b) above, the security interest created by this Security Agreement shall not extend to, and the term "Collateral" shall not include, any Excluded Property. For purposes of this Security Agreement, “Excluded Property” means: (i) Canopy Monterey Bay, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Excluded Entity”), (ii) all Equity Interests of the Excluded Entity, and (iii) all right, title, and interest in and to all personal property of the Excluded Entity including all items listed in Section 1(i)–(xxv).
The Grantors shall from time to time at the request of the Collateral Agent give written notice to the Collateral Agent identifying in reasonable detail the Excluded Property (and stating in such notice that such Excluded Property constitutes "Excluded Property") and shall provide to the Collateral Agent such other information regarding the Excluded Property as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.
For purposes of this Security Agreement, the parties intend that the terms used herein which are defined in the UCC have, at all times, the broadest and most inclusive meanings possible. Therefore, if the UCC, at any time, is amended or held by a court to define any term used herein more broadly or inclusively than the UCC in effect on the date hereof, then such term, as used herein, shall be given such broadened meaning. If the UCC, at any time, is amended or held by a court to define any term used herein more narrowly, or less inclusively, than the UCC in effect on the date hereof, such amendment or holding shall be disregarded in defining terms used herein.

5. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement or otherwise, all the rights and remedies of a Secured Party on default under the UCC, including without limitation the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Collateral Agent may, so far as the Grantor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises upon which Collateral may be situated and remove, take, and carry away the same. The Collateral Agent may require Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent which is reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may immediately, without demand or performance and without notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale or of redemption or other notice or demand whatsoever to Grantor, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and without advertisement, sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale or otherwise, at any of Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery and upon such other terms as Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, and after deducting from the proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral all expenses (including all reasonable expenses for legal services), shall apply the residue of such proceeds toward the payment of the Obligations. If notice of any sale or other disposition is required by law to be given, Grantor hereby agrees that a notice sent at least five (5) Business Days before the time of any intended public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. The Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in its discretion, may in its name or in the name of Grantor, demand, sue for, collect, and receive any money, receivables, or proceeds included in the Collateral and extend the time of payment or otherwise modify any of the terms of or release Grantor under any such Collateral, without thereby incurring responsibility to or discharging or otherwise affecting any liability of Grantor. Grantor shall pay to the Collateral Agent on demand any and all attorney’s fees reasonably and necessarily incurred or paid by the Collateral Agent in protecting or enforcing the Obligations and the other rights of the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties under this Security Agreement.
6. Application of Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that (solely between themselves and without effecting an amendment to the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement) that to the extent that the Collateral Agent receives any proceeds from Collateral, it shall apply such proceeds first, ratably to pay all expenses, fees and actual, incurred indemnities to the full extent thereof; second, ratably to pay any accrued Grantor on account of any interest due and owing on the Credit Agreement (including interest at the Default Rate, if any); third, ratably to pay any other Obligations due and owing under the Credit Agreement until paid in full; fourth, to pay any interest due and owing in respect of the Other Notes; fifth, ratably to pay any other obligations then due and payable in respect of the Other Notes until each such Other Note is paid in full; and sixth, to the Grantor.
7. Power of Attorney. The Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, acting reasonably, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to the Grantor or any third party for failure to do so or take action). This appointment, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable. The Grantor hereby ratifies that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
