The Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender or any other person whom the Lender may designate as the Company’s attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company or in its own name to: (i) on or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, endorse the Company’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into the Lender’ possession; (ii) on or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, sign the Company’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Receivables, drafts against Customers, schedules and assignments of Receivables, notices of assignment, financing statements and other public records, verifications of account and notices to or from Customers; (iii) on or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Receivable by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise with Customers; (iv) on or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, execute customs declarations and such other documents as may be required to clear Inventory through United States Customs; (v) do all things necessary to carry out this Agreement; (vi) continue any insurance existing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premium therefor and the cost thereof; and (vii) on or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of the Company’s mail to an address designated by the Lender, and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the Company. The Company hereby ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Neither the Lender nor the attorney will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as an account which is assigned to the Lender or in which the Lender has a security interest remains unpaid and until the Obligations have been fully satisfied.
4.18. Food and Drug Administration. The Company shall comply in all material respects with all Food and Drug Administration requirements necessary for the Lender to exercise their rights hereunder and to realize on the Collateral.
SECTION 5. RESERVED
-12-
SECTION 6. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
6.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:
(a) an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note, the Purchase Agreement or the Amended and Restated Aeolus Guaranty;
(b) a breach or default by the Company of this Agreement, which breach or default has not been cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of notice thereof;
(c) the security interests granted herein do not constitute for any reason a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Collateral; or
(d) if any of the guarantees made by the Company or any of its Affiliates in favor of the Lender with respect to the Note, shall, for any reason, be terminated or otherwise cease to be valid, binding and enforceable.
6.2. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, the Lender shall have the right to demand repayment in full of all Obligations. Until all Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly satisfied, the Lender shall retain its Security Interest in all Collateral. The Lender shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under other applicable law, all other legal and equitable rights to which the Lender may be entitled, including without limitation, the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral, to require the Company to assemble the Collateral, at the Company’s expense, and to make it available to the Lender at a place designated by the Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties and to enter any of the Premises of the Company or wherever the Collateral shall be located, with or without process of law, and to keep and store the same at any such premises until sold (and in the case of Collateral located at any of the Premises or any other property of the Company, the Company agrees not to charge the Lender for storage thereof). Further, the Lender may, at any time or times after the occurrence of an Event of Default, sell and deliver all Collateral held by or for the Lender in one or more parcels at public or private sale for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Lender, in the Lender’s sole discretion, deems advisable or the Lender may otherwise recover upon the Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner as the Lender, in its sole discretion, deems advisable. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in nature or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed postage prepaid to the Company at the Company’s address as shown in the Lender’s records, at least ten (10) days before the time of the event of which notice is being given. The Lender may be the purchaser at any sale, if it is public. Until the Lender is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Lender shall have the right to use or operate Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Lender. The Lender shall have no obligation to the Company to maintain or preserve the rights of the Company as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of the Lender. The Lender
-13-
may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Lender’s remedies with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, the Lender is granted permission to use: (a) all of the Company’s Intellectual Property which are used in connection with Inventory for the purpose of disposing of such Inventory; and (b) any Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of sale, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses, and second to the payment (in whatever order the Lender elects) of all Obligations. The Lender will return any excess to the Company and the Company shall remain liable to the Lender for any deficiency.
6.3. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Lender to exercise rights and remedies under this Article at such time as the Lender shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Company hereby grants to the Lender an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Company) following the occurrence of an Event of Default, to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable 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. The use of such license by the Lender shall be exercised, at the option of the Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Lender in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Company notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
-14-
SECTION 7. SENIORITY.
The Security Interest granted hereunder upon the Collateral shall be senior to and have priority over all debt of the Company.
SECTION 8. LIABILITY DISCLAIMER. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall the Lender be deemed to assume any responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to any part or all of the Collateral, of any nature or kind whatsoever, or with respect to any matter or proceedings arising out of or relating thereto. The Lender shall not be required to take any action of any kind to collect or protect any interest in the Collateral, including but not limited to any action necessary to preserve its, or the Company’s rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral. Except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Lender shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping, care or custody of any of the Collateral, or for any loss or damage thereto, or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any agent or bailee of the Lender or the Company, or of any carrier, forwarding agency or other person whomsoever, or for the collection of any proceeds, but the same shall be at the Company’s sole risk at all times. Except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Company hereby releases the Lender from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to this Agreement or the Obligations, and any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Lender with respect thereto, and the Company agrees to defend and hold the Lender harmless from and with respect to any and all such claims, causes of action and demands.
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS.
9.1. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy under this Agreement. The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
9.2. Waivers. The Company waives presentment and protest of any instrument and notice thereof, notice of default and all other notices to which the Company might otherwise be entitled.
9.3. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Lender hereunder, the Security Interest and all the Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, the Obligations, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.
-15-
9.4. Amendments, Etc. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Company therefrom or any release of a Lien shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

9.14. Termination. When all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Lender shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the Company and to be released and canceled all licenses and rights granted to it hereunder. The Lender shall also execute and deliver to the Company upon such termination such UCC termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the termination of the release of the Liens on the Collateral.
