1.

All of Borrower’s assets, including without limitation, Accounts, Cash, Inventory, Equipment, General Intangibles, Intellectual Property, Chattel Paper, Investment Property, Instruments, Documents, Letter of Credit Rights, Supporting Obligations, Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commercial Tort Claims;

 

2.

All moneys, cash, credits, securities, investment property, and other property of any nature whatsoever of Borrower now or hereafter in the possession of or from, under the custody or control of, or on deposit with (whether held by Borrower individually or jointly with another and including specifically but not by way of limitation all demand, deposit, savings, or other similar accounts) Bank, including but not limited to cash collateral accounts; and

 

3.

The proceeds (including insurance proceeds) and products of the foregoing in whatever form the same may be,

 

for the purpose of securing the payment and performance of all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of Borrower to Bank, now existing or hereafter arising, including without limitation, the Obligations.

 

Borrower and Bank are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented, or extended, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

Borrower further warrants to and agrees with Bank as follows:

 

1.

Execution of Appropriate Documentation with Respect to Collateral.  

 

 

1.1

With respect to any and all of the Collateral, Borrower agrees to do and cause to be done all things reasonably necessary or appropriate to perfect, maintain the priority of and keep in full force and effect the security interest in the Collateral granted by Borrower to Bank, including, but not limited to, the payment upon demand therefor by Bank of all reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including documentary stamp, excise or intangibles taxes) incurred in connection with the preparation, delivery, or filing of any document or the taking of any action deemed reasonably necessary by Bank to perfect, protect, or enforce a security interest in any of the Collateral for the benefit of Bank, subject only to Permitted Liens. All amounts not so paid when due will be added to the Obligations and (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such non-payment) will bear interest from demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.

 

 

 

 

1.2

Borrower authorizes Bank to file one or more financing statements, as deemed necessary by Bank (including but not limited to any correction statements as set forth more fully in UCC Section 9-518), which financing statements lists or otherwise describes the Collateral as consisting of all of Borrower’s assets or words to that effect, regardless of the actual description of the Collateral set forth in this Agreement.

 

 

1.3

In addition to the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, Borrower agrees to furnish Bank with properly executed control agreements at the request of the Bank. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be consent by Bank to Borrower maintaining any Deposit Account contrary to the requirements of the Credit Agreement.

 

 

1.4

In addition to the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, Borrower agrees to furnish Bank, evidence of the placement of a restrictive legend on tangible chattel paper constituting of Collateral (and the tangible components of electronic Chattel Paper constituting of Collateral), and will take all appropriate action acceptable to Bank sufficient to establish Bank’s control of such electronic Chattel Paper (and the electronic components of such hybrid Chattel Paper), as appropriate, with respect to Collateral in which either (i) a security interest can be perfected only by control or such restrictive legending, or (ii) a security interest perfected by control or accompanied by such restrictive legending will have priority as against a lien creditor, a purchaser of such Collateral from Borrower, or a security interest perfected by any Person not having control or not accompanied by such restrictive legending, in each case in form and substance acceptable to Bank and sufficient under applicable law so that Bank will have a security interest in all such Collateral perfected by control.

 

 

1.5

In addition to the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, Borrower agrees to deliver to Bank, or, if Bank has specifically consented in each instance, to an agent or bailee of Bank who has acknowledged such status in a properly executed control agreement, in the case of Pledged Interests in the form of certificated securities, possession of duly executed endorsements or stock powers in blank, as the case may be, all in form and substance acceptable to Bank, and subject only to Permitted Liens.

Insurance.  The Borrower will keep the Collateral insured at all times in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The appropriate certificates of all policies of insurance required to be carried under the Credit Agreement will be delivered to Bank upon the Closing Date. Borrower will deliver to Bank a new policy (or certificate if requested by Bank) as replacement for any expiring policy at least 30 days before the date of such expiration. All policies of insurance required by this Section will contain a standard lender loss payee clause in favor of Bank and a waiver of insurer’s right of subrogation against funds paid under the standard lender loss payee endorsement. Borrower hereby assigns to Bank all amounts recoverable under any such policy. The amount collected by Bank will be applied in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

 

3.

Payment of Expenses by Bank.  At its option during the existence of an Event of Default, Bank may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or such other encumbrances as may attach to the Collateral, may pay for required insurance on the Collateral and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral, as determined by Bank to be reasonably necessary, and such expenditures will become a part of the Obligations and (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such non-payment) will bear interest from demand until paid in full at the Default Rate. Borrower will reimburse Bank upon demand for any payment so made or any expense incurred by Bank pursuant to the foregoing authorization, and the Collateral also will secure any advances or payments so made or expenses so incurred by Bank.

 

4.

Notification of Account Debtors.  Bank at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with notice to Borrower, may notify any Persons who are indebted to Borrower with respect to any of the Collateral of the collateral assignment thereof to Bank and may direct such Account Debtors to make payment directly to Bank of the amounts due. At the request of Bank after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower will direct any Persons who are indebted to Borrower with respect to any of the Collateral to make payment directly to Bank. Bank is authorized to give receipts to such Account Debtors for any such payments and the Account Debtors will be protected in making such payments to Bank.

Borrowers Consent.  Borrower consents, with respect to any of the Collateral, to all extensions or postponements of time of payment thereof, to the acceptance of partial payments thereon and to the settlement, compromise and adjustment thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Bank deems advisable, in any case during the existence of an Event of Default.

 

9.

Default.

 

 

9.1

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Bank may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies granted pursuant to this Agreement or given to a secured party under applicable law, as it may be amended from time to time, including but not limited to the right to take possession and sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral and, at its option, operate, use or exercise any rights of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as the Bank deems necessary to preserve the value and receive the benefits of the Collateral and notifying all Persons subject to a control agreement who may otherwise have possession or control of any of the Collateral and taking possession of any such Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, so far as Borrower can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and take possession of and remove the same therefrom. At the request of Bank, Borrower agrees to store for a reasonable period all or any part of the Collateral in such a way as to prevent deterioration of any of the Collateral on property owned by Borrower, and Borrower will insure such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Borrower gives permission to Bank to conduct a sale of any or all of the Collateral, which sale may be conducted on any real property owned by Borrower without charge or interference by Borrower. Bank may require Borrower to make the Collateral available to Bank at a place to be designated by Bank that is reasonably convenient to both parties. Borrower waives all claims for damages by reason of any seizure, repossession, retention, use, or sale of the Collateral under the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

9.2

For the purpose of enabling the Bank to exercise the rights and remedies, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Borrower hereby (a) grants to the Bank a nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Borrower) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter acquired by any Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Bank may sell any of Borrower’s Inventory directly to any Person, including without limitation Persons who have previously purchased Borrower’s Inventory from Borrower and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of such Bank’s rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to Borrower and any Inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to Borrower and the Bank may finish any work in process and affix any trademark owned by or licensed to Borrower and sell such Inventory as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, when this Security Agreement terminates, the license granted in this Section 9.2 shall automatically terminate.

 

- 8 -

 

 

9.3

The net proceeds arising from the disposition of the Collateral after deducting expenses incurred by Bank will be applied to the Obligations in the order determined by Bank in its sole discretion. If any excess remains after the discharge of all of the Obligations, the same will be paid to Borrower. If after exhausting all of the Collateral, there should be a deficiency, Borrower will be liable therefor to Bank, provided, however, that nothing contained herein will obligate Bank to proceed against the Collateral prior to making a claim against Borrower or any other party obligated under the Obligations or prior to proceeding against any other collateral for the Obligations. Whenever notice is required by law to be sent by Bank to Borrower of any sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, ten (10) days written notice sent to Borrower’s address set forth in the Credit Agreement will be reasonable.

 

10.

Rights of Bank.  Borrower hereby gives Bank the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, and with notice to Borrower but without assent from Borrower, to do the following:

 

 

10.1

- 9 -

 

The rights conferred upon Bank hereunder are solely to protect Bank’s interests in the Collateral and will not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such rights. Bank will have no obligation to preserve any rights of any third parties in the Collateral. Bank will be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such rights, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents will be responsible to Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith or in reliance on the advice of counsel except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
