Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(a) and while an Event of Default exists, upon notice by the Secured Party to the relevant Grantor, (i) the Secured Party shall have the right to receive any Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order provided in Section 6(h) and (ii) the Secured Party or its nominee may exercise any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Secured Party shall have no duty to Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In order to permit the Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all distributions that it is entitled to receive hereunder, (i) Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Secured Party all such orders and instruments as the Secured Party may from time to time request and (ii) without limiting the immediately preceding clause (i), Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to exercise all rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled, which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) while an Event of Default exists. Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and irrevocably instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by Grantor to (x) comply with any instruction received by it from the Secured Party in writing that states that an Event of Default exists and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from Grantor, and Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (y) pay any payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Secured Party.

(c) Writ of Possession; Receiver. Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that while an Event of Default exists the Secured Party shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession with respect to the Collateral without notice of a hearing or the requirement of posting a bond. The Secured Party shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of Grantor, and Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Secured Party.
(d) Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Secured Party as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Secured Party of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
(e) 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 Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the fullest extent that it lawfully may, 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 Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the fullest extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
(f) Proceeds to be Turned Over To Secured Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, all Proceeds received by the Secured Party hereunder in cash or cash equivalents shall be held by the Secured Party in as cash collateral for the Secured Obligations. All Proceeds while held by the Secured Party as such cash collateral (or by Grantor in trust for the Secured Party) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

(g) Intellectual Property License. Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party, subject to the terms of the Delano Management Agreement or any other applicable license agreement, a license or other right while an Event of Default exists to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, and all other Intellectual Property, whether owned by Grantor or with respect to which Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements, as it pertains to collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall insure to the benefit of the Secured Party.
(h) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of the whole or any part of the Collateral, together with any other moneys held by the Secured Party under the provisions of this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall remain liable and will pay, on demand, any deficiency remaining in respect of the Secured Obligations.
Section 7. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints the Secured Party as the attorney-in-fact of Grantor with full power of substitution either in the Secured Party’s name or in the name of Grantor to do any of the following: (a) to perform any obligation of Grantor hereunder in Grantor’s name or otherwise; (b) to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, receive, receipt and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (c) to prepare, execute, file, record or deliver notices, assignments, financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration or like papers to perfect, preserve or release the Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral; (d) to issue entitlement orders, instructions and other orders to any bank in connection with any of the Collateral held by or maintained with such bank; (e) to verify facts concerning the Collateral in such Grantor’s name, its own name or a fictitious name; (f) to endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the payment of money payable to such Grantor, representing any payment in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof and to give full discharge for the same; (g) to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which Grantor would have, but for this Agreement, with respect to any of the Collateral; and (h) to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to take any action and execute any instrument which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, and to do all acts and things and execute all documents in the name of Grantor or otherwise, deemed by the Secured Party as necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of its rights hereunder; provided, that the Pledgee shall only exercise its rights under clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) and (g) while an Event of Default exists. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken by the Secured Party or omitted to be taken with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of Grantor or to any claim or action against the Secured Party. The power of attorney granted herein is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Section 8. Secured Party Duties. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if the Secured Party accords such Collateral treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property.
Section 9. Authorization of Financing Statements. Grantor authorizes the Secured Party, and its counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Secured Party reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Secured Party under this Agreement. Grantor agrees that such financing statements and amendments may describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all personal property of the debtor” or words of similar effect. Grantor hereby also authorizes the Secured Party, and its counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, subject to Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.
Section 10. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by Grantor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that Schedules to this Agreement may be supplemented through Security Agreement Supplements executed by Grantor and accepted by the Secured Party.
Section 11. Notices. Notices, requests and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be made by personal delivery, telecopy or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses and in the manner set forth in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement:
Section 12. No Waiver. Neither the failure on the part of the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise, nor the delay on the part of the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder, nor any course of dealing between the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, on the one hand, and Grantor, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy hereunder preclude any other or the further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 13. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that Grantor shall not be permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest herein and any such assignment by Grantor shall be null and void absent the prior written consent of the Secured Party.
Section 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.
Section 15. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provisions shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 16. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
SECTION 17. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
Section 18. Expenses. Grantor agrees to pay to the Secured Party expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.
Section 19. Indemnification. Grantor agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective predecessor, affiliate, subsidiaries, successors and assigns, together with their past, present and future officers, directors, agents, attorneys, financial advisors, representatives, partners, joint ventures, affiliates and the successor and assigns of any and all of them (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (“Indemnified Amounts”) brought against or incurred by an Indemnified Person, in any manner arising out of or, directly or indirectly, related in any way to or connected with this Agreement, including without limitation, the exercise by the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender of any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other action taken by the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, Grantor shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Amounts to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

Section 20. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until it terminates in accordance with its terms.
Section 21. Reinstatement. Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Loan Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by the Secured Party to such Loan Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including Grantor, under any bankruptcy law or other applicable law, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender, such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment.
Section 22. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party hereunder, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of Grantor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of the payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or in respect of this Agreement (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Secured Obligations).
