Any such payments made by Lender shall be obligations of Pledgor to Lender, due and payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement: (a) any default in the payment or performance of any obligation, or any defined event of default, under (i) any contract or instrument evidencing any Indebtedness, or (ii) any other agreement between Pledgor and Lender, including without limitation any loan agreement, relating to or executed in connection with any Indebtedness; (b) any representation or warranty made by Pledgor herein shall prove to be incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when made; (c) Pledgor shall fail to observe or perform any obligation or agreement contained herein and the same shall not have been cured within five (5) business days of Debtor being informed of such default; (d) any impairment of the rights of Lender in any Collateral or Proceeds, or any lien, attachment or like levy on any property of Pledgor except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement; and (e) Lender, in good faith, believes any or all of the Collateral and/or Proceeds to be in danger of misuse, dissipation, commingling, loss, theft, damage or destruction, or otherwise in jeopardy or unsatisfactory in character or value.

commitments to make loans or otherwise extend credit to Pledgor. Lender shall have all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the South Carolina Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a) to contact all persons obligated to Pledgor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to Lender, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Lender of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and credit risks of such dispositions. While an Event of Default exists: (a) Pledgor will deliver to Lender from time to time, as reasonably requested by Lender, current lists of all Collateral and Proceeds; (b) Pledgor will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved by Lender or sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business; (c) at Lender's request, Pledgor will assemble and deliver all Collateral and Proceeds, and books and records pertaining thereto, to Lender at a reasonably convenient place designated by Lender; and (d) Lender may, without notice to Pledgor, enter onto Pledgor's premises and take possession of the Collateral. With respect to any sale or other disposition by Lender of any Collateral subject to this Agreement, Pledgor hereby expressly grants to Lender the right to sell such Collateral using any or all of Pledgor's trademarks, trade names, trade name rights and/or proprietary labels or marks. Pledgor further agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.
11. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In disposing of Collateral hereunder, Lender may disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral or Proceeds by Lender, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by Lender toward the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Lender may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Indebtedness, Lender may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers of Lender hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein given.
12. MISCELLANEOUS. When there is more than one Pledgor named herein: (a) the word "Pledgor" shall mean all or any one or more of them as the context requires; (b) the obligations of each Pledgor hereunder are joint and several; and (c) until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no Pledgor shall have any right of subrogation or contribution, and each Pledgor hereby waives any benefit of or right to participate in any of the Collateral or Proceeds or any other security now or hereafter held by Lender. Pledgor hereby waives any right to require Lender to (i) proceed against Pledgor or any other person, (ii) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security from Pledgor or any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of Pledgor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (d) make any presentment or demand, or give any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any Collateral or Proceeds. Pledgor further waives any right to direct the application of payments or security for any Indebtedness of Debtor, Pledgor or indebtedness of customers of Pledgor.

Pledgor shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or incurred by Lender in connection with (a) the perfection and preservation of the Collateral or Lender's interest therein, and (b) the realization, enforcement and exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred by this Agreement, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Lender or any other person) relating to Pledgor or in any way affecting any of the Collateral or Lender's ability to exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect thereto. All of the foregoing shall be paid by Pledgor with interest from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum three percent (3.00%) above interest rate provided for in Section 1.2 of the Loan Agreement.

16. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.
