including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping
receipts. |

obligors in respect of Instruments of Grantor and obligors in respect of
Chattel Paper of Grantor that the Accounts and the right, title and
interest of Grantor in, to and under such Contracts, Instruments and

Debtors, parties to such Contracts, obligors in respect of such
Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender

Security
Interest Absolute.
All rights of the Lender and the assignment and security interest
hereunder, and all obligations of Grantor hereunder, shall remain in full
force and effect and shall secure the Obligations, and shall be absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of: |
a. |
any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term
of, all or any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or
any consent to any departure from the Note;
or |
b. |
any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or
any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;
or |
c. |
any
manner of application of any Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or
any of the Obligations or any manner of sale or other disposition of any

any
other circumstances other than releases, waivers and the like by the
Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, Grantor's obligations hereunder or Lender’s security
interest hereunder. |
10. |
Continuing
Security Interest; Sale of Participations; Release of
Collateral.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the
payment in full of the Obligations (subject to Section 14 hereof),
(ii) be binding upon Grantor, its successors and its permitted
assigns under the Note, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be

successors and assigns. No sales of participations in, and no other sales,
assignments, transfers or other dispositions of, any agreement governing
or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or
interest therein by the Lender shall in any manner affect the lien granted
to the Lender hereunder. Subject to Section 14 hereof, upon the
payment in full of the Obligations, the security interest granted hereby
shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantor.
Upon any such termination, the Lender will, at Grantor' expense, execute
and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request
to evidence such termination. The Lender shall, at the request of Grantor,
deliver any document reasonably necessary to release any lien granted
hereunder with respect to any Collateral Grantor is
transferring. |
11. |
Lender’s
Duties.
The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect
Lender’s interest in the Collateral as a secured party and shall not
impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. Except for
the safe custody of any Collateral in Lender’s possession and the
accounting for money actually received by Lender hereunder, the Lender
shall not have any duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve any rights pertaining to any Collateral. The
Lender shall not have any responsibility or liability for the collection
of any proceeds of any Collateral or by reason of any invalidity, lack of
value or uncollectability of any of the Collateral. The Lender shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation
of any Collateral in the Lender’s possession if such Collateral is
accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Lender accords
its own property. |
12. |
Events
of Default; Remedies Upon Default; Actions by Lender. |
a. |
The
occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Note shall
constitute an “Event
of Default”
hereunder. |
b. |
If
any Event of Default shall have occurred: |
i. |
The
Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to Lender
(or any of them), all the rights and remedies of a secured party on
default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral), and may also, without notice of any kind or demand of
performance or other demand (all and each of which demands and notices are
hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent provided by the UCC and
other applicable law) reclaim, take possession, recover, store, maintain,
finish, repair, prepare for sale or lease, advertise for sale or lease and
sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at the Lender’s
offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and
upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable. In
connection with the liquidation, sale or other disposition of the
Collateral, the Lender is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or
other right to use, without charge, Grantor’ labels, patents, copyrights,
trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, or any similar
property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing a liquidation,
sale or other disposition of the Collateral. The Lender shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The 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. Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the
Collateral, whether at a foreclosure sale or otherwise, the Lender is
hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in
connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in
order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with
such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and the
Lender, require that such prospective bidders and the Lender have certain
qualifications and restrict such prospective bidders and the Lender to
Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their
own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale of such Collateral), and Grantor further agrees that such
compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Lender
be liable or accountable to Grantor for any discount allowed by reason of
the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such
limitation or restriction. |
ii. |
Grantor
authorizes the Lender, on the terms set forth herein, to enter the
premises where the Collateral (or any part of it) is located, to take
possession of the Collateral (or any part of it), and to pay, purchase,
contract, or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which, in the
opinion of the Lender, appears to be prior or superior to its security
interest. Grantor further agrees, at the Lender’s request, to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to the Lender at places which the Lender
shall reasonably select. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, Grantor hereby waives all claims, damages, and demands against the
Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the
Collateral. |
iii. |
The
Lender may sell Collateral without giving warranties as to such
Collateral. The Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title
or the like. The foregoing will not be considered adversely to affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of
Collateral. |
iv. |
If
the Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be
credited only with, and at the time of, payments actually made by the
purchaser in such sale received by the purchaser and applied to the
indebtedness of such purchaser. In the event the purchaser in such sale
fails to pay for the Collateral, the Lender may resell the Collateral and
Grantor shall be credited with the proceeds of the resale in accordance
with the preceding sentence. In the event the Lender purchase any of the
Collateral being sold, the Lender may pay for the Collateral by crediting
some or all of the amounts described in clauses first, second, third and
fourth of Section 12(b)(vi) hereof. |
v. |
Any
cash held by the Lender as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by
the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral or the exercise of any
other remedies consequent upon an Event of Default shall be applied in
whole or in part by the Lender against all or any part of the Obligations
in the following order: |
First, to the
Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full the Obligations, including all
reasonable fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by
the Lender in connection with the sale, disposition or other realization of the
Collateral, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees;
Second, upon
payment in full of all the Obligations, to Grantor or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
