For value received and to secure payment and performance of any and all
obligations of Debtor (also referred to herein as "Borrower") to Bank however
created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, including swap
agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. ss. 101, as in effect from time to time),
future advances, and all costs and expenses incurred by Bank to obtain,
preserve, perfect and enforce the security interest granted herein and to
maintain, preserve and collect the property subject to the security interest
(collectively, "Obligations"), Debtor hereby grants to Bank a continuing
security interest in and lien upon the following described property, whether now

substitutions thereof and all cash and non-cash proceeds and products thereof
(collectively, "Collateral'):
All accounts, chattel paper, instruments, and general intangibles.
All inventory, all documents and all accessions to such inventory.
Debtor hereby represents and agrees that:
OWNERSHIP. Debtor owns the Collateral or Debtor will purchase and acquire rights
in the Collateral within ten days of the date advances are made under the Loan
Documents. If Collateral is being acquired with the proceeds of an advance under
the Loan Documents, Debtor authorizes Bank to disburse proceeds directly to the
seller of the Collateral. The Collateral is free and clear of all liens,
security interests, and claims except those previously reported in writing to
and approved by Bank, and Debtor will keep the Collateral free and clear from
all liens, security interests and claims, other than those granted to or
approved by Bank.
NAME AND OFFICES; JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION. The name and address of Debtor
appearing at the beginning of this Agreement are Debtors exact legal name and
the address of its chief executive office. There has been no change in the name
of Debtor, or the name under which Debtor conducts business, within the five
years preceding the date hereof except as previously reported in writing to
Bank. Debtor has not moved its chief executive office within the five years
preceding the date hereof except as previously reported in writing to Bank.
Debtor is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and has not changed
the jurisdiction of its organization within the five years preceding the date
hereof except as previously reported in writing to Bank.
TITLE/TAXES. Debtor has good and marketable title to Collateral and will warrant
and defend same against all claims. Debtor will not transfer, sell, or lease
Collateral (except in the ordinary course of business). Debtor agrees to pay
promptly all taxes and assessments upon or for the use of Collateral and on this
Security Agreement. At its option, Bank may discharge taxes, liens, security
interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on Collateral.
Debtor agrees to reimburse Bank, on demand, for any such payment made by Bank.
Any amounts so paid shall be added to the Obligations.
WAIVERS. Debtor agrees not to assert against Bank as a defense (legal or
equitable), as a set-off, as a counterclaim, or otherwise, any claims Debtor may
have against any seller or lessor that provided personal property or services
relating to any part of the Collateral or against any other party liable to Bank
for all or any part of the Obligations. Debtor waives all exemptions and
homestead rights with regard to the Collateral. Debtor waives any and all rights
to any bond or security which might be required by applicable law prior to the
exercise of any of Bank's remedies against any Collateral. All rights of Bank
and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of Debtor hereunder, shall
be absolute and unconditional, not discharged or impaired irrespective of (and
regardless of whether Debtor receives any notice of): (i) any lack of validity
or enforceability of any Loan Document; (ii) any change in the time, manner or
place of payment or performance, or in any term, of all or any of the
Obligations or the Loan Documents or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to any departure from any Loan Document; or (iii) any exchange,
insufficiency, unenforceability, enforcement release, impairment or
non-perfection of any collateral, or any release of or modifications to or
insufficiency, unenforceability or enforcement of the obligations of any
guarantor or other obligor. To the extent permitted by law, Debtor hereby waives
any rights under any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension or redemption laws
now existing or which may hereafter exist and which, but for this provision,
might be applicable to any sale or disposition of the Collateral by Bank; and
any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of any party with respect to the Obligations.
NOTIFICATIONS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. Debtor will notify Bank in writing at
least 30 days prior to any change in: (i) Debtor's chief place of business
and/or residence; (ii) Debtor's name or identity; (iii) Debtor's
corporate/organizational structure; or (iv) the jurisdiction in which Debtor is
organized. In addition, Debtor shall promptly notify Bank of any claims or
alleged claims of any other person or entity to the Collateral or the
institution of any litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation or
administrative proceedings against or affecting the Collateral. Debtor will keep
Collateral at the location(s) previously provided to Bank until such time as
Bank provides written advance consent to a change of location. Debtor will bear
the cost of preparing and filing any documents necessary to protect Bank's
liens.
COLLATERAL CONDITION AND LAWFUL USE. Debtor represents that the Collateral is in
good repair and condition and that Debtor shall use reasonable care to prevent
Collateral from being damaged or depreciating, normal wear and tear excepted.
Debtor shall immediately notify Bank of any material loss or damage to
Collateral. Debtor shall not permit any item of Collateral to become a fixture
to real estate or an accession to other personal property unless such property
is also Collateral hereunder. Debtor represents it is in compliance in all
respects with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Collateral and
its properties, operations, business, and finances.
RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE. Debtor shall bear all risk of loss with respect to
the Collateral. The injury to or loss of Collateral, either partial or total,
shall not release Debtor from payment or other performance hereof. Debtor agrees
to obtain and keep in force property insurance on the Collateral with a Lender's
Loss Payable Endorsement in favor of Bank and commercial general liability
insurance naming Bank as Additional Insured and such other insurance as Bank may
require from time to time. Such insurance is to be in form and amounts
satisfactory to Bank and issued by reputable insurance carriers satisfactory to
Bank with a Best Insurance Report Key Rating of at least "A-". All such policies
shall provide to Bank a minimum of 30 days written notice of cancellation.
Debtor shall furnish to Bank such policies, or other evidence of such policies
satisfactory to Bank. If Debtor fails to obtain or maintain in force such
insurance or fails to furnish such evidence, Bank is authorized, but not
obligated, to purchase any or all insurance or "Single Interest Insurance"
protecting such interest as Bank deems appropriate against such risks and for
such coverage and for such amounts, including either the loan amount or value of
the Collateral, all at its discretion, and at Debtor's expense. In such event,
Debtor agrees to reimburse Bank for the cost of such insurance and Bank may add
such cost to the Obligations. Debtor shall bear the risk of loss to the extent
of any deficiency in the effective insurance coverage with respect to loss or
damage to any of the Collateral. Debtor hereby assigns to Bank the proceeds of
all property insurance covering the Collateral up to the amount of the
Obligations and directs any insurer to make payments directly to Bank. Debtor
hereby appoints Bank its attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be
irrevocable and coupled with an interest for so long as Obligations are unpaid,
to file proof of loss
Page 2
and/or any other forms required to collect from any insurer any amount due from
any damage or destruction of Collateral, to agree to and bind Debtor as to the
amount of said recovery, to designate payee(s) of such recovery, to grant
releases to insurer, to grant subrogation rights to any insurer, and to endorse
any settlement check or draft. Debtor agrees not to exercise any of the
foregoing powers granted to Bank without Bank's prior written consent.
FINANCING STATEMENTS, CERTIFICATES OF TITLE, POWER OF ATTORNEY. No financing
statement (other than any filed or approved by Bank) covering any Collateral is
on file in any public filing office. Debtor authorizes the filing of one or more
financing statements covering the Collateral in form satisfactory to Bank, and
without Debtor's signature where authorized by law, and will pay all costs and
expenses of filing or applying for the same or of filing this Security Agreement
in all public filing offices, where filing is deemed by Bank to be desirable.
Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Bank the true and lawful attorney of
Debtor with full power of substitution to take any and all appropriate action
and to execute any and all documents, instruments or applications that may be
necessary or desirable to accomplish the purpose and carry out the terms of this
Security Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest
and shall be irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been paid in full.
Neither Bank nor anyone acting on its behalf shall be liable for acts,
omissions, errors in judgment, or mistakes in fact in such capacity as
attorney-in-fact absent gross negligence or willful misconduct. Debtor ratifies
all acts of Bank as attorney-in-fact absent gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Debtor agrees to take such other actions, at Debtor's expense, as
might be requested for the perfection, continuation and assignment, in whole or
in part of the security interests granted herein and to assure and preserve
Bank's intended priority position. If certificates, passbooks, or other
documentation or evidence is/are issued or outstanding as to any of the
Collateral, Debtor will cause the security interests of Bank to be properly
protected, including perfection by notation thereon or delivery thereof to Bank.
LANDLORD/MORTGAGEE WAIVERS. Debtor shall cause each mortgagee of real property
owned by Debtor and each landlord of real property leased by Debtor to execute
and deliver instruments satisfactory in form and substance to Bank by which such
mortgagee or landlord subordinates its rights, if any, in the Collateral.
CONTROL. Debtor will cooperate with Bank in obtaining control with respect to
Collateral consisting of electronic chattel paper.
CHATTEL PAPER, ACCOUNTS, GENERAL INTANGIBLES. Debtor warrants that Collateral
consisting of chattel paper, accounts, or general intangibles is (i) genuine and
enforceable in accordance with its terms; (ii) not subject to any defense,
set-off, claim or counterclaim of a material nature against Debtor except as to
which Debtor has notified Bank in writing; and (iii) not subject to any other
circumstances that would impair the validity, enforceability, value, or amount
of such Collateral except as to which Debtor has notified Bank in writing.
Debtor shall not amend, modify or supplement any lease, contract or agreement
contained in Collateral or waive any provision therein except in the ordinary
course of business, without prior written consent of Bank. Debtor will not
create any tangible chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper
acceptable to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel
paper. Debtor will not create any electronic chattel paper without taking all
steps deemed necessary by Bank to confer control of the electronic chattel paper
upon Bank in accordance with the UCC.
ACCOUNT INFORMATION. From time to time, at Bank's request Debtor shall provide
Bank with schedules describing all accounts, including customers' addresses,
created or acquired by Debtor and at Bank's request shall execute and deliver
written assignments of contracts and other documents evidencing such accounts to
Bank. Together with each schedule, Debtor shall, if requested by Bank, furnish
Bank with copies of Debtor's sales journals, invoices, customer purchase orders
or the equivalent, and original shipping or delivery receipts for all goods
sold, and Debtor warrants the genuineness thereof.
ACCOUNT DEBTORS. If a Default should occur, Bank shall have the right to notify
the account debtors obligated on any or all of the Collateral to make payment
thereof directly to Bank and Bank may take control of all proceeds of any such
Collateral, which rights Bank may exercise at any time, The cost of
Page 3
such collection and enforcement, including attorneys' fees and expenses, shall
be borne solely by Debtor whether the same is incurred by Bank or Debtor. If a
Default should occur or upon demand of Bank, Debtor will, upon receipt of all
checks, drafts, cash and other remittances in payment on Collateral, deposit the
same in a special bank account maintained with Bank, over which Bank also has
the power of withdrawal.
If a Default should occur, no discount, credit, or allowance shall be granted by
Debtor to any account debtor and no return of merchandise shall be accepted by
Debtor without Bank's consent. Bank may, after Default, settle or adjust
disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts and upon terms
that Bank considers advisable, and in such cases Bank will credit the
Obligations with the net amounts received by Bank, after deducting all of the
expenses incurred by Bank. Debtor agrees to indemnify and defend Bank and hold
it harmless with respect to any claim or proceeding arising out of any matter
related to collection of Collateral.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS. If any Collateral covered hereby arises from obligations
due to Debtor from any governmental unit or organization, Debtor shall
immediately notify Bank in writing and execute all documents and take all
actions deemed necessary by Bank to ensure recognition by such governmental unit
or organization of the rights of Bank in the Collateral.
INVENTORY. So long as no Default has occurred, Debtor shall have the right in
the regular course of business, to process and sell Debtor's inventory. If a
Default should occur or upon demand of Bank, Debtor will, upon receipt of all
checks, drafts, cash and other remittances, in payment of Collateral sold,
deposit the same in a special bank account maintained with Bank, over which Bank
also has the power of withdrawal. Debtor agrees to notify Bank immediately in
the event that any inventory purchased by or delivered to Debtor is evidenced by
a ▇▇▇▇ of lading, dock warrant, dock receipt, warehouse receipt or other
document of title and to deliver such document to Bank upon request.
INSTRUMENTS, CHATTEL PAPER, DOCUMENTS. Any Collateral that is, or is evidenced
by, instruments, chattel paper or negotiable documents will be properly assigned
to and the originals of any such Collateral in tangible form deposited with and
held by Bank, unless Bank shall hereafter otherwise direct or consent in
writing. Bank may, without notice, before or after maturity of the Obligations,
exercise any or all rights of collection, conversion, or exchange and other
similar rights, privileges and options pertaining to such Collateral, but shall
have no duty to do so.
COLLATERAL DUTIES. Bank shall have no custodial or ministerial duties to perform
with respect to Collateral pledged except as set forth herein; and by way of
explanation and not by way of limitation, Bank shall incur no liability for any
of the following: (i) loss or depreciation of Collateral (unless caused by its
willful misconduct or gross negligence), (ii) failure to present any paper for
payment or protest, to protest or give notice of nonpayment, or any other notice
with respect to any paper or Collateral.
TRANSFER OF COLLATERAL. Bank may assign its rights in Collateral or any part
thereof to any assignee of the Obligations who shall thereupon become vested
with all the powers and rights herein given to Bank with respect to the property
so transferred and delivered, and Bank shall thereafter be forever relieved and
fully discharged from any liability with respect to such property so
transferred, but with respect to any property not so transferred, Bank shall
retain all rights and powers hereby given.
INSPECTION, BOOKS AND RECORDS. Debtor will at all times keep accurate and
complete records covering each item of Collateral, including the proceeds
therefrom. Bank, or any of its agents, shall have the right, at intervals to be
determined by Bank and without hindrance or delay, at Bank's expense unless
there is an event of default, to inspect, audit and examine the Collateral and
to make copies of and extracts from the books, records, journals, orders,
receipts, correspondence and other data relating to Collateral, Debtor's
business or any other transaction between the parties hereto. Debtor will at its
expense furnish Bank copies thereof upon request. All such inspections, audits,
examinations, copies and extracts shall be at Bank's expense unless there occurs
a Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or if a Default is
detected in the course of such inspection, audit and examination. Upon and after
such Default, all such inspections, audits, examinations, copies and extracts
shall be at Debtor's

hereby granted a security interest in all books and records of Debtor pertaining
to the Collateral,

reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase

INDEMNIFICATION. Debtor shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Bank from and

effective only to the extent of any Damages that may be sustained by Bank in
excess of any net proceeds received by it from any insurance of Debtor (other
than self-insurance) with respect to such Damages. Nothing contained herein
shall require Debtor to indemnify Bank for any Damages resulting from Bank's
gross negligence or its willful misconduct. The indemnity provided for herein
shall survive payment of the Obligations and shall extend to the officers,
directors, employees and duly authorized agents of Bank. In the event Bank
