This Agreement dated as of July 7, 1999 among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ COFFEE, INC.,
COFFEE PEOPLE, INC., COFFEE PEOPLE WORLDWIDE, INC., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇, INC., EDGLO
ENTERPRISES, INC., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ GOURMET COFFEES CORP., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ GOURMET
COFFEES FRANCHISING CORP., and all future Subsidiaries who hereafter become
parties hereto (collectively, the "Borrowers" and each individually, a
"Borrower") and BANKBOSTON, N.A., located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, (together with its successors and assigns, the "Secured
Party") under, and as defined in, the Credit Agreement dated on or about the
date hereof as from time to time in effect (the "Credit Agreement"), between the
Borrower and the Secured Party. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein are used herein with the meanings so defined.
1. Grant of Security Interest. Each of the Borrowers hereby grants to
the Secured Party and its successors and assigns a security interest in the
items referred to below, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and all
proceeds thereof (collectively, the "Collateral") to secure the Obligations:
1.1. All of the right, title and interest of such Borrower in
and to all existing and hereafter arising service marks and trademarks
(collectively, the "Marks"), all existing and hereafter arising registrations
for the Marks (collectively, the "Registrations") and all existing and hereafter
arising service ▇▇▇▇ and trademark applications for the Marks (collectively, the
"Applications"). Such Registrations and Applications shall include without
limitation all registrations and applications of the Borrowers described in
Exhibit A hereto.
1.2. The goodwill of the business of all Borrowers symbolized
by each of the Marks.
1.3. All right, title and interest of such Borrower in and to
any cause of action that has heretofore arisen or that may arise with respect to
unconsented use or infringement of the Marks, the Registrations or the
Applications.
2. Further Assurances. Each of the Borrowers shall execute, or use its
reasonable efforts at its reasonable expense to cause to be executed, such
further documents as may be reasonably requested by the Secured Party in order
to effectuate fully the grant of security interest set forth in Section 1
hereof.
3. Agreement to Assign Collateral. Each of the Borrowers shall execute
and deliver to the Secured Party on the date of this Agreement a written
Assignment of Trademarks to the Secured Party in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B (the "Assignment"). The Secured Party shall hold the
Assignment in escrow, and the Assignment shall have no legal effect and shall
not be binding on the Borrowers, until the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, at which time the Secured Party may file the Assignment with
the U.S. Patent and
2
Trademark Office and, upon such filing, the Assignment shall take effect as a
legal document binding upon the Borrowers.
4. Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted by this
Agreement and the Assignment, the Secured Party may exercise the rights and
remedies of a secured party enacted in any of the jurisdictions in which the
Collateral may be located. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without
demand or notice (except as set forth next below), all of which are waived, and
without advertisement, the Secured Party may sell at public or private sale or
otherwise realize upon, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or elsewhere, all
or from time to time any of the Collateral, or any interest which any of the
Borrowers may have therein. Notice of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral shall be given to the Borrowers at least 10 days before the time of
any intended public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to
be made, which the Borrowers agree shall be reasonable notice of such sale or
other disposition. At any such sale or other disposition, any holder of any
Obligation or any Secured Party may, to the extent permissible under applicable
law, purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral (including associated
goodwill) free from any right or redemption on the part of the Borrowers, which
right is waived and released. After deducting from the proceeds of sale or other
disposition of the Collateral and associated goodwill all expenses (including
reasonable expenses for brokers' fees and legal services), the balance of such
proceeds shall be applied toward the payment of the Obligations. Any remainder
of the proceeds after payment in full of the Obligations shall be paid over to
the Borrowers.
5. Defeasance. Upon payment in full of the Obligations and termination
of the commitments therefor, the Secured Party shall, at the Borrowers' expense,
release the security interest in the Collateral granted under this Agreement and
execute and deliver such instruments and other documents and take such further
actions as may be necessary to carry out such release, including cancellation of
this Agreement by written notice to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and
delivery back to the Borrowers of the Assignment upon request of the Borrowers.
6. Covenants. Each of the Borrowers covenants and agrees as follows:
6.1. Such Borrower shall not abandon any Marks, Registrations
or Applications included in the Collateral except such Marks, Registrations or
Applications, the abandonment of which could not reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the business, financial conditions or operations of
the Borrowers.
6.2. Such Borrower shall maintain all rights held by such
Borrower relating to the Marks, Registrations and Applications except such
Marks, Registrations or Applications which the failure to maintain could not
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial conditions or operations of the Borrowers.
6.3. Until all of the Obligations shall have been paid
indefeasibly in full in cash and all commitments therefor and the Credit
Agreement have been terminated, such Borrower shall not enter into any agreement
(including without limitation a license agreement) which
-2-
3
conflicts with such Borrower's obligations under this Agreement other than
agreements that could not reasonably be expected to affect the value of any of
the Collateral in any material respect, without the Secured Party's prior
written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
6.4. If such Borrower shall obtain any rights to any
registrable service marks or trademarks after the date hereof, the provisions of
Section 1 shall automatically apply thereto and such Borrower shall within 30
days after obtaining such rights give to the Secured Party written notice
thereof, execute an amendment to Exhibit A including such after-acquired
Registrations and Applications, and take any other action reasonably necessary
to record the Secured Party's interest in such Marks, Registrations and
Applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and other applicable
filing offices.
6.5 Such Borrower has used, and will continue to use, proper
statutory notice in connection with its use of the Collateral to the extent
commercially practicable and customary within the relevant industry.
7. Representations and Warranties of Title. Each of the Borrowers
represents and warrants to the Secured Party (which representations and
warranties are made as of the date hereof and shall survive the delivery of this
Agreement) as follows:
7.1. Exhibit A sets forth as of the date hereof all Marks,
Registrations and Applications owned by such Borrower or in which such Borrower
has any interest.
7.2. As of the date hereof, all of the Collateral set forth on
Exhibit A is subsisting and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable.
7.3. As of the date hereof, no claim has been made that the
use of any of the Collateral violates the rights of any third person and no
Borrower is aware of any basis for any such claim to be asserted.
7.4. Such Borrower is the sole and exclusive owner of the
entire right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, free and clear of any
Encumbrances, including without limitation, pledges, assignments, licenses,
registered user agreements and covenants by the Borrower not to ▇▇▇ third
persons (other than Permitted Encumbrances and licenses in favor of other
Borrowers and the Secured Party).
7.5. Such Borrower has the full power and authority to enter
into this Agreement and perform its terms.
8. General.
8.1. No course of dealing among the Borrowers and the Secured
Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of
the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Credit
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
-3-
4
any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or
thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
right, power or privilege.
8.2. All of the Secured Party's rights and remedies with
respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Credit
Agreement, or by any other agreement or by law shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently.
8.3. If any clause or provision of this Agreement shall be
held invalid and unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then
such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision,
or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such
clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision
of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
8.4. This Agreement is subject to modification only by a
writing signed by the parties, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.4
hereof.
8.5. The benefits and obligations of this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and
permitted assigns of the parties.
8.6. The validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by the laws (other than
the conflict of laws rules) of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
8.7. This Agreement is a Loan Document (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) and may be executed in any number of counterparts, which
together shall constitute one instrument.
8.8. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE
UNDER SEAL AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS (WITHOUT GIVING REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICTS OF
LAW PROVISIONS THEREIN) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF
A SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY
PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE REQUIRED TO BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION
OTHER THAN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
(b) EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND THE SECURED PARTY AGREES THAT NEITHER IT
NOR ANY ASSIGNEE OR SUCCESSOR SHALL (A) SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT,
PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER ACTION BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY COLLATERAL OR THE DEALINGS OR THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SUCH BORROWER AND THE SECURED PARTY OR (B) SEEK TO
CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT

DISCUSSED BY THE
-4-
5
PARTIES HERETO, AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS. NEITHER
THE SECURED PARTY NOR ANY BORROWER HAS AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER
THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL
INSTANCES.
(c) EACH BORROWER HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS, AS WELL AS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ALL COURTS FROM
WHICH AN APPEAL MAY BE TAKEN OR OTHER REVIEW SOUGHT FROM THE AFORESAID COURTS,

SUCH BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS IT MAY HAVE AS TO VENUE IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS.

BACKGROUND
Section 3 of the Security Agreement provides that the Borrowers shall

its successor and assigns, the items referred to below (collectively,
the "Assigned Material"):
(a) All of the right, title and interest of the Borrowers in and
to all service marks and trademarks (collectively, the
