The Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial Financing Statements and amendments thereto that (a) describe the Collateral and (b) provide any other information required by Applicable Law of such jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any Financing Statement or amendment, including (i) whether the Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to the Grantor and (ii) in the case of a Financing Statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which the Collateral relates.

incidental to, any recording or filing of the Financing Statements, Financing Statement amendments or continuation statements concerning the Collateral.

(iv) If any Collateral is at any time in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee (other than a carrier transporting Inventory to a purchaser in the ordinary course of business), or any Grantor’s agents or processors, the Grantor shall notify in writing such warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor of the Security Interests created hereby, shall obtain such warehouseman’s, bailee’s, agent’s or processor’s agreement in writing to hold all such Collateral for the Lender’s account subject to the Lender’s instructions, and shall cause such warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor to issue and deliver to the Lender warehouse receipts, bills of lading or any similar documents relating to such Collateral in the Lender’s name and in form and substance acceptable to the Lender.

(v) (A) The Grantor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with respect to its properties and business against such casualties and contingencies as shall be in accordance with general practices of businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas. Such insurance shall be in such minimum amounts that the Grantor will not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws, regulations and policies and otherwise shall be in such amounts, contain such terms, be in such forms and be for such periods as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(x) The Grantor shall not:

(A) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral; or

(B) create or suffer to exist any Lien or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral to secure indebtedness of any Person or entity.

(xi) The Grantor agrees, at the request and option of the Lender, to take any and all other actions the Lender may determine to be necessary or useful for the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender’s Security Interest in any and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (A) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC, to the extent, if any, that the Grantor’s signature thereon is required therefor, (B) causing the Lender’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender’s security interest in such Collateral, (C) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender’s interest in such Collateral, (D) obtaining governmental and other third party waivers, consents and approvals in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person obligated on Collateral, (E) obtaining waivers from mortgagees, landlords and other Persons in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, and (F) taking all actions under any earlier versions of the UCC or under any other law, as reasonably determined by the Lender to be applicable in any relevant jurisdiction, including any foreign jurisdiction.

(b) Collateral, Etc. The Grantor shall maintain each material item of Collateral in the same condition, repair and working order as when acquired, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in accordance with any manufacturer’s manual, and shall as quickly as practicable provide all maintenance, service and repairs necessary for such purpose and shall promptly furnish to the Lenders a statement respecting any material loss or damage to any material portion of the Collateral.

(c) Indemnification. The Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and

expenses) (i) with respect to, or resulting from, any and all excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral, (ii) with respect to, or resulting from, complying with any Applicable Law applicable to any of the Collateral or (iii) in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that said indemnifications shall not apply to the extent any such liabilities, costs and expenses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. The obligations of the Grantor under this Section 4(c) shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 5. Reporting and Recordkeeping. The Grantor respectively covenants and agrees with the Lender that from and after the date of this Agreement and until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full and satisfied:

(a) Maintenance of Records Generally. Grantor shall keep and maintain at its own cost and expense complete and accurate records of the Collateral, including, without limitation, a record of all payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all other dealings with the Collateral, all in a manner consistent with the Grantor’s past practice. For the Lender’s further security, the Grantor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Grantor shall deliver and turn over any such books and records directly to the Lender or its designee. The Grantor shall permit any representative of the Lender to inspect such books and records and shall provide photocopies thereof to the Lender upon the Lender’s reasonable request.

(b) Further Identification of Collateral. The Grantor shall, if so requested by the Lender, furnish to the Lender statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

SECTION 6. Reserved.

SECTION 7. General Authority.

(a) Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Grantor, the Lender or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Lender, but at the Grantor’s expense, to exercise, at any time and from time to time all or any of the following powers:

(i) to file the Financing Statements and any Financing Statement amendments and continuation statements referred to in Section 4(a)(iii) hereof,

(ii) to demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due with respect to any Collateral or by virtue thereof,

(iii) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect to any Collateral,

(iv) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the Collateral and the Proceeds thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Lender were the absolute owner thereof, and

(v) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance and other adjustments with reference to the Collateral;

provided, however, that the Lender shall not take any of the actions described in this Section 7 except those described in clause (i) above unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Lender shall give the Grantor not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral, except any Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value.

(b) Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(c) Grantor also authorizes the Lender at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 8 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

SECTION 8. Remedies Upon Event of Default.

(a) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may exercise all rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) and, in addition, the Lender may sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Lender may deem satisfactory. The Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations or if otherwise permitted under Applicable Law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same, absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. The Grantor shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Lender deems reasonably necessary or advisable in order that any such sale may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale, the Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold (without warranty). The purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold to it absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of the Grantor. To the extent permitted by law, the Grantor hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal, which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. The notice of such sale shall be given to the Grantor ten (10) days prior to such sale and (A) in case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale and (B) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which

sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Lender may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Lender may determine. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Lender until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Lender shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Lender, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interest and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

(b) For the purpose of enforcing any and all rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Lender may (i) require Grantor to, and the Grantor agrees that it shall, at its expense and upon the request of the Lender, forthwith assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available at a place designated by the Lender that is, in the Lender’s opinion, reasonably convenient to the Lender and the Grantor, whether at the premises of the Grantor or otherwise, (ii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premise where any of the Collateral is or may be located and, without charge or liability to the Lender, seize and remove such Collateral from such premises, (iii) have access to and use of the Grantor’s books and records relating to the Collateral and (iv) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store or transfer such Collateral without charge in or by means of any storage or transportation facility owned or leased by the Grantor, process, repair or recondition such Collateral or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent the Lender deems appropriate and, in connection with such preparation and disposition, use without charge any trademark, trade name, copyright, patent or technical process used by the Grantor.

SECTION 9. Limitation on Duties of the Lender Regarding Collateral. Beyond reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Lender in good faith.

SECTION 10. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Lender to the Secured Obligations in any manner the Lender

deems appropriate. The Lender may make distribution hereunder in cash or in kind or in any combination thereof.

SECTION 11. Reserved.

SECTION 12. Reserved.

SECTION 13. Reserved.

SECTION 14. Expenses. In the event that the Grantor fails to comply with the provisions of the Purchase-Money Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, such that the value of any Collateral or the validity, perfection, rank or value of the Security Interests are thereby diminished or potentially diminished or put at risk, the Lender may, but shall not be required to, effect such compliance on behalf of the Grantor, and the Grantor shall reimburse the Lender for the costs thereof on demand. All insurance expenses and all expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, appraising, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral, any and all excise, stamp, intangibles, transfer, property, sales, and use taxes imposed by any state, federal, or local authority or any other Governmental Authority on any of the Collateral, or in respect of the sale or other disposition thereof, shall be borne and paid by the Grantor; and if the Grantor fails promptly to pay any portion thereof when due, the Lender may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay the same and charge the Grantor’s account therefor, and the Grantor agrees to reimburse the Lender therefor on demand. All sums so paid or incurred by the Lender for any of the foregoing and any and all other sums for which the Grantor may become liable hereunder and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and court costs) incurred by the Lender in enforcing or protecting the Security Interests or any of its rights or remedies thereon shall be payable by the Grantor on demand and shall bear interest (after, as well as before judgment) until paid at the rate then applicable under the Purchase-Money Note and shall be additional Secured Obligations hereunder.

No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Grantor, the Lender or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

SECTION 17. Successors and Assigns.
