4
0000-0000-0000.4
the UCC (including authorization to describe the Collateral as "all personal property", "all assets" or words of similar meaning).
6.Advances. On failure of any Obligor to (a) pay any taxes required herein or in any other Loan Document, Lender may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, expend such sums as Lender may reasonably deem advisable for the payment of any taxes, and (b) perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein or in any other Loan Document, Lender may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as Lender may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures which Lender may make for the protection of the security hereof or which may be compelled to make by operation of Law. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Obligors on a joint and several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate. No such performance of any covenant or agreement by Xxxxxx on behalf of any Obligor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Obligors of any Default or Event of Default. Lender may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by an Obligor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.
7.Event of Default/Remedies. The occurrence of an "Event of Default" under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be an "Event of Default" under this Agreement.
(a) General Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Loan Documents, in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or by Law (including, but not limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies set forth in the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further, Lender may, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i) enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by the Obligors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Obligors to assemble and make available to Lender at the expense of the Obligors any Collateral at any place and time designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Obligors hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any place and time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker's board or elsewhere, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Lender deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements). Each Obligor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Neither Lender's compliance with applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial
5
0000-0000-0000.4
reasonableness of any sale. To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Obligor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Obligors in accordance with the notice provisions of the Credit Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any holder of Secured Obligations may be a purchaser at any such sale. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, Lender may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by Law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed, or Lender may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.
(b)Remedies Relating to Accounts. During the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not Lender has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, (i) each Obligor will promptly upon request of Lender instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Accounts to a mailing location selected by Lender and (ii) Lender shall have the right to enforce any Obligor's rights against its customers and account debtors, and Lender or its designee may notify any Obligor's customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such Obligor have been assigned to Lender or of Lender's security interest therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name of an Obligor or both) demand, collect (including without limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, sue for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any Account, and, in Xxxxxx's discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the holders of the Secured Obligations in the Accounts. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of Lender in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for Xxxxxx's own convenience and that such Obligor shall not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein. Lender shall have no liability or responsibility to any Obligor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend "payment in full" or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance. Furthermore, during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Obligors shall furnish all such assistance and information as Lender may require in connection with such test verifications, (ii) upon Lender's request and at the expense of the Obligors, the Obligors shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to Lender to furnish to Lender reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts and (iii) Lender in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with account debtors on the Accounts to verify with them to Xxxxxx's satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts.
(c)Deposit Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, Lender may (i) prevent withdrawals or other dispositions of funds in Deposit Accounts maintained with Lender and (ii) exercise control pursuant to any control agreement governing a Deposit Account or Securities Account not maintained with Lender.
(d)Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the
6
0000-0000-0000.4
Obligors without cost or charge to Lender, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Obligors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In addition, Lender may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral.
(e)Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other document relating to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by Law, or any delay by Lender in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of Lender shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by Xxx, neither Xxxxxx nor any party acting as attorney for Xxxxxx, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which Lender may have.
(f)Retention of Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, Lender may, in compliance with Sections 679.620 and 679.621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until Lender shall have provided such notices, however, Lender shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.
(g)Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, the Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Obligors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Loan Documents or in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, the obligations of each Obligor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any other applicable Debtor Relief Law (including any comparable provisions of any applicable state Law).
8. Rights of Lender.
(a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each Obligor hereby designates and appoints Lender and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Obligor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i)to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, give discharges and releases, all as Lender may reasonably determine;

7
0000-0000-0000.4
(iii)to defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as Lender may deem reasonably appropriate;
(iv)to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the Goods giving rise to the Collateral of such Obligor on behalf of and in the name of such Obligor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral;
(v)to sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the Goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;
(vi)to adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto;
(vii)to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that Lender may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;
(viii)to institute any foreclosure proceedings that Xxxxxx may deem appropriate;
(ix)to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Collateral;
(x)to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
(xi)to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct;
(xiii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; and
(xiiiiii) to do and perform all such other acts and things as Xxxxxx may reasonably deem
to be necessary, proper or convenient to accomplish the purposes of the Loan Documents.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until such time as the Secured Obligations arising under the Loan Documents have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitment has expired or been terminated. Lender shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to Lender in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Lender shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on Lender solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.
8
0000-0000-0000.4
(b)Xxxxxx's Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by Xxxxxx hereunder, Lender shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and Lender shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligors. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that Lender shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Lender shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
(c)Liability with Respect to Accounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Obligors shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise to each such Account. Lender shall have no obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Lender of any payment relating to such Account pursuant hereto, nor shall Lender or any holder of Secured Obligations be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of an Obligor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), 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 it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
(d)Releases of Collateral. If any Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Obligor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then Lender, at the request and sole expense of such Obligor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Obligor all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby or by any other Collateral Document on such Collateral.
9.Application of Proceeds. Upon the acceleration of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by Lender or any holder of the Secured Obligations in money or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Secured Obligations arising under the Loan Documents have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitment has expired or been terminated, at which time this Agreement shall be automatically terminated and Lender shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Obligors, forthwith release all of its liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Obligors evidencing such termination.
9
0000-0000-0000.4
(b) This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender or any holder of the Secured Obligations as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender or any holder of the Secured Obligations in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

This Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any update or revision to Schedule 1 hereof delivered by any Obligor shall not constitute an amendment for purposes of this Section 11 or Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.
