NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are

If a Springing Lien Trigger Event occurs and such security interest is deemed to have been granted as set forth above, the security interest shall remain in effect until a Collateral Release Date shall have occurred; provided that if any subsequent Springing Lien Trigger Event shall occur, the Grantors shall be deemed to have again granted the security interest to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as set forth above and in Section 7.1.10 [Springing Lien] of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4. Provisions Applicable to the Grantors and the Collateral. The parties agree that the following provisions shall be applicable to the Grantors and the Collateral:

(a) The Grantors covenant and agree that, at all times during the term of this Security Agreement, each shall keep accurate and complete books and records concerning the Collateral that is now owned or acquired after the date of this Security Agreement by a Grantor, in accordance with GAAP, if and to the extent applicable, at the locations set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof and at no other location without complying with the requirements set forth in Section 4(j) of this Security Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent or its representatives shall, at all times during the continuance of a Collateral Period, have the right during regular business hours of the Grantors and upon twenty-four (24) hours’ advance notice to the Grantors (or at any time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing) to examine and inspect the Collateral and to review the books and records of the Grantors concerning the Collateral.

(c) The Grantors shall, at all times during the continuance of a Collateral Period, keep the Collateral, as applicable, that is now owned or acquired after the date of this Security Agreement by the Grantors at the locations set forth on Exhibit A (which Exhibit A may be updated from time to time by the Grantors upon three (3) days’ prior notice) attached hereto and made a part hereof and at no other location without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, except as may be otherwise set forth in the Credit Agreement; provided, however, this subsection (c) shall not apply to Inventory: (i) in-transit in the ordinary course of business; (ii) located at third-party suppliers or processors in the ordinary course of business; or (iii) to the extent the book value of such Inventory does not exceed Fifty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00), warehouseman or other bailees.

(g) Notwithstanding any Prior Security Interest in the Collateral granted to and created in favor of the Administrative Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders) under this Security Agreement, the Grantors shall have the right until one or more Events of Default shall occur, at their own cost and expense, to enforce payment of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and the Electronic Chattel Paper and to enforce their contract rights.

(h) The Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to give notice of the security interest created hereby to account debtors obligated to any Grantor, to take over and direct collection of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and the Electronic Chattel Paper, to notify such account debtors to make payment directly to the Administrative Agent and to enforce payment of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and the Electronic Chattel Paper and to enforce such Grantor’s contract rights. It is understood and agreed by the Grantors that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever under this Security Agreement except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(i) Each Grantor represents and warrants as of the date of this Security Agreement that the exact legal name, the type of entity, the jurisdiction of organization, the organizational identification number and tax identification number of each Grantor is as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice of its intention to do so and provide the Administrative Agent with such information in connection therewith as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and

(ii) take such action, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, all action required by Section 6 hereof, as may be necessary to maintain at all times the priority of the security interest in the Collateral granted hereunder.

(k) Each Grantor shall at any time during the continuance of a Collateral Period, take such commercially reasonable efforts as the Administrative Agent may request (i) to cause any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral with a book value in excess of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) to provide to the Administrative Agent a written acknowledgement of the Lenders’ security interest in such Collateral, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) otherwise to ensure the continued perfection and priority of the Lenders’ security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein.

Section 5. Actions with Respect to Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,, each Grantor shall be deemed to have irrevocably and automatically appointed the Administrative Agent (and any of the Administrative Agent’s designated officers, employees or agents) as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with power to sign its name and to take any of the following actions, in its name or in the name of the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may determine (except as expressly limited in this Section 5) without notice to such Grantor and at such Grantor’s expense:

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in any case and for any reason, receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor;


(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, take control in any manner of any rejected, returned, stopped-in-transit or repossessed goods relating to Accounts;

(h) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, enforce payment of and collect any Accounts, by legal proceedings or otherwise, and for such purpose the Administrative Agent may:

(i) Demand payment of any Accounts or direct any account debtors to make payment of Accounts directly to the Administrative Agent;

(ii) Receive and collect all monies due or to become due to such Grantor;

(iii) Exercise all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of Accounts;

(iv) Settle, adjust, compromise, extend, renew, discharge or release Accounts;

(v) Sell or assign Accounts on such terms, for such amounts and at such times as the Administrative Agent deems advisable;

(vi) Prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on any Proof of Claim or similar documents in any proceeding filed under federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Law as to any account debtor;

(vii) Prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on any Notice of Lien, Claim of Mechanic’s Lien, Assignment or Satisfaction of Lien or Mechanic’s Lien, or similar document in connection with the Collateral;

(viii) Endorse the name of such Grantor upon any chattel papers, documents, instruments, invoices, freight bills, bills of lading, or similar documents or agreements relating to Accounts or goods pertaining to Accounts or upon any checks or other medium of payment or evidence of security interest that may come into the Administrative Agent’s possession;

(ix) Sign the name of such Grantor to verifications of Accounts and notices of Accounts sent by account debtors to such Grantor; or

(x) Take all other actions necessary or desirable to protect such Grantor’s interest(s) in the Accounts.

Each Grantor ratifies and approves all acts of said attorneys and agrees that said attorneys shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations are paid in full and the Grantors shall have performed all of their obligations under this Security Agreement. Each Grantor further agrees to use its best efforts to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection and enforcement of the Accounts and will not hinder, delay or impede the Administrative Agent in any manner in its collection and enforcement of the Accounts.


Section 6. Preservation and Protection of Security Interest. Each Grantor represents and warrants that it has (or will have upon its acquisition of such Collateral), and covenants and agrees that at all times during the term of this Security Agreement it will have, good and valid title to the Collateral from time to time owned or acquired by it free and clear of all Liens, except those in favor of the Administrative Agent and those permitted under the Credit Agreement, and shall defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever other than the holders of any Permitted Liens. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that each shall not (i) borrow against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral from any other Person, except as may otherwise be permitted under the Credit Agreement, (ii) grant or create or permit to attach or exist any Lien on, of or in any of the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral, except those in favor of the Administrative Agent and Permitted Liens, (iii) permit any levy or attachment to be made against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral or (iv) permit any financing statements or such other instruments or notices with respect to security interests to be on file with respect to any of the Collateral, except financing statements or such other instruments of notice in favor of the Administrative Agent and as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement. Upon a Springing Lien Trigger Date and at all times during a Collateral Period, each Grantor shall faithfully preserve and protect the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral and shall, at its own cost and expense, cause or assist the Administrative Agent to cause that security interest to be perfected and continue perfected so long as the Obligations or any portion of the Obligations are outstanding, unpaid or executory. For purposes of the perfection of the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Security Agreement, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent, upon a Springing Lien Trigger Date and at any time during a Collateral Period, to file financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral. If any such financing statement, continuation statement or amendment requires the signature of such Grantor, it may be signed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Grantor. Each Grantor shall from time to time during a Collateral Period, at the request of the Administrative Agent, file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, such other instruments, documents and notices, including financing statements, and assignments, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and continue perfected such security interest. Upon a Springing Lien Trigger Date and at any time during a Collateral Period, each Grantor shall do all such other acts and things, shall execute and deliver all such other instruments and documents, including further security agreements, pledges, endorsements, assignments and notices, and shall furnish any other information as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and preserve the priority of such security interest as a first lien security interest in the Collateral prior to the rights of all Persons except as may otherwise be provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon a Springing Lien Trigger Date, each Grantor shall be deemed to have automatically and irrevocably appointed the Administrative Agent (and any of the Administrative Agent’s designated officers, employees and/or agents) as the attorney-in-fact of the Grantors to take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary from time to time to preserve, perfect and continue perfected the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Security Agreement including, but not limited to, signing any financing statements or


amendments to financing statements evidencing the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral for and on behalf of such Grantor. Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed instead of the original. Upon the occurrence of a Collateral Release Date or Release Event, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Grantors, promptly but in any event within thirty (30) days of such occurrence, take such action as is reasonably necessary to file UCC-3 termination statements or other termination documents, as applicable, with respect to filings made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent hereunder and, in the event the Administrative Agent shall not have taken such action as required hereunder, each Grantor shall be authorized by the Administrative Agent (for itself and on behalf of the Lenders) to file such UCC-3 termination statements or such other termination documents with respect to such filings.

Section 7. Insurance. Risk of loss of, damage to, or destruction of the applicable Collateral is on the Grantors. The Grantors shall insure the applicable Collateral against such risks and casualties and in such amounts and with such insurance companies as is set forth in the Credit Agreement. If the Grantors fail to effect and keep in full force and effect such insurance, or fail to pay the premiums when due, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do so for the account of the Grantors and add the cost thereof to the Obligations. Upon a Springing Lien Trigger Date and at any time during a Collateral Period, each Grantor agrees to cause the Administrative Agent to be added by endorsement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as a lenders’ loss payee (for itself and the benefit of the Lenders) to all applicable policies of commercial property insurance of any Grantor, as the Administrative Agent’s interests may appear, or otherwise assign and set over to the Administrative Agent all monies which may become payable on account of such insurance with respect to any loss event(s) involving Inventory to the extent both the insurance proceeds with respect to such Inventory exceed Twenty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing during such Collateral Period and agrees to pay over any such amounts to the Administrative Agent to the extent such Grantor or Grantors have not used such proceeds to purchase or produce replacement Inventory during the one hundred eighty (180) day period commencing on the date such insurance proceeds become available to the such Grantor or Grantors. In the event any such insurance proceeds are not eligible hereunder to be paid directly to the applicable Grantor or Grantors as provided for above, each such Grantor or Grantors shall direct the applicable insurer(s) to pay the Administrative Agent any such amount so due. Upon a Springing Lien Trigger Date and during the continuance of the applicable Collateral Period, the Administrative Agent shall be automatically and irrevocably appointed the attorney-in-fact of each Grantor to, following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, endorse any draft or check that may be payable to such Grantor in order to collect the proceeds of such insurance. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, any balance of insurance proceeds remaining in the possession of the Administrative Agent after payment in full of the Obligations shall be paid over to such Grantor or its order.

Section 8. Maintenance and Repair; Control. Each Grantor shall maintain the Collateral, and every portion thereof, in good condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted), and shall pay and discharge all taxes, levies and other impositions assessed or levied thereon. If such Grantor fails to do so after a Springing Lien Trigger Date and during the continuance of the


applicable Collateral Period, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) pay the cost of such taxes, levies or impositions for the account of such Grantor and add the amount of such payments to the Obligations. Each Grantor which owns Collateral shall adopt and conscientiously adhere to a well-designed internal control system with respect to such Collateral, and such system shall be capable of permitting such Grantor and the Administrative Agent to identify readily at any reasonable time the location and condition of each and every item of such Collateral.

Section 9. Preservation of Rights Against Third Parties; Preservation of Collateral in the Administrative Agent’s Possession. Until such time as the Administrative Agent exercises its rights hereunder to effect direct collection of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and Electronic Chattel Paper, and to effect the enforcement of the Grantors’ contract rights, each Grantor assumes full responsibility for taking any and all steps to preserve rights in respect of the Accounts, the Chattel Paper and Electronic Chattel Paper and its contracts against third parties. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such of the Collateral as may come into its possession from time to time if the Administrative Agent takes such action for that purpose as each Grantor shall request in writing, provided that such requested action shall not, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, impair the security interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral or their rights in, or the value of, the Collateral, and, provided further, that the Administrative Agent receives such written request in sufficient time to permit the Administrative Agent to take the requested action.

Section 10. Events of Default and Remedies.

(a) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the Administrative Agent may then, or at any time thereafter, so long as such default shall continue, in any way permitted by Law foreclose the Lien in the Collateral granted hereby or, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Grantors, sell any or all Collateral at private sale at any time or place in one or more sales, at such price or prices and upon such terms, either for cash or on credit, as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in their sole discretion, may elect, or sell any or all Collateral at public auction, either for cash or on credit, as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in their sole discretion, may elect, and at any such sale, the Administrative Agent may bid for and become the purchaser of any or all such Collateral. Pending any such action, the Administrative Agent may liquidate the Collateral.

(b) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the Administrative Agent may then, or at any time thereafter, so long as such default shall continue, grant extensions to or adjust claims of, or make compromises or settlements with, debtors, the Grantors or any other Persons with respect to the Collateral or any securities, guarantees or insurance applying thereon, without notice to or the consent of any Grantor, without affecting the Grantor’s liability under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Each Grantor waives notice of acceptance, of nonpayment, protest or notice of protest of any Accounts, Chattel Paper or Electronic Chattel Paper or any of its contract rights and any other notices to which the Grantor may be entitled.


(c) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in any such event, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have such additional rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof as are provided by the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral) and such other rights and remedies in respect thereof which they may have at Law or in equity or under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, the right to enter any premises where Collateral is located and take possession and control thereof without demand or notice and without prior judicial hearing or legal proceedings, which each Grantor expressly waives.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any sale or liquidation of the Collateral and, subject to Section 7, any Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent from insurance, in accordance with Section 8.2.5 of the Credit Agreement. If such Proceeds are insufficient to pay the amounts required by Law, the Grantors shall be liable for any deficiency.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Grantors shall promptly following demand by the Administrative Agent assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Administrative Agent. The right of the Administrative Agent under this paragraph to have the Collateral assembled and made available to it is of the essence of this Security Agreement and the Administrative Agent may, at its election, enforce such right by an action in equity for injunctive relief or specific performance.

(f) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist and be continuing, then in any event, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to use and operate under all trade names under which each Grantor does business.

Section 11. Continuing Validity of Obligations. The agreements and obligations of the Grantors hereunder are continuing agreements and obligations, and are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Obligations or any part thereof or of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or agreements now or hereafter entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and the Grantors pursuant to which the Obligations or any part thereof is issued or of any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such agreements and obligations. Without limitation upon the foregoing, such agreements and obligations shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Obligations or any part thereof remain outstanding and unpaid and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by (i) any renewal, refinancing or refunding of the Obligations in whole or in part, (ii) any extension of the time of payment of the Notes or other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Obligations, or any part thereof, (iii) any compromise or settlement with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof, or any forbearance or indulgence extended to the Grantors, (iv) any amendment to or modification of the terms of the Notes or other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Obligations or any part thereof or any other agreement or agreements now or hereafter entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and the Grantors pursuant to which the Obligations or any part thereof is issued or secured, (v) any substitution, exchange, or release of a portion of, or failure to preserve, perfect


or protect, or other dealing in respect of, the Collateral or any other property or any security for the payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, (vi) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding commenced by or against the Grantors, (vii) any dissolution, liquidation or termination of the Grantors for any reason whatsoever or (viii) any other matter or thing whatsoever whereby the agreements and obligations of the Grantors hereunder, would or might otherwise be released or discharged. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance of this Security Agreement by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any provisions regarding joint and several liability found in any of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Obligations or any part thereof or of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or agreements now or hereafter entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and the Grantors pursuant to which the Obligations or any part thereof is issued and without limiting the scope or extent of the liability of the applicable Grantor as set forth in any of the foregoing, this Agreement shall not constitute and shall not be construed as a guaranty by any Grantor (other than Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“ATI”)) of any obligations which ATI may have under this Agreement, any guaranty or any other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Obligations or any part thereof or of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or agreements now or hereafter entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and ATI with respect to the Obligations secured hereunder.

Section 12. Defeasance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement, upon Payment in Full, and performance of all other obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents and termination or expiration of all Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedges, Lender Provided Foreign Currency Hedges and Other Lender Provided Financial Service Products, this Security Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and at the request of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon terminate the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral, if any. Until such time, however, this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns, provided that the Grantors may not assign this Security Agreement or any of their rights under this Security Agreement or delegate any of their duties or obligations under this Security Agreement and any such attempted assignment or delegation shall be null and void. This Security Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to obligate the Administrative Agent to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Collateral or to incur expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or disability of the Grantors.

Section 13. Joinder. Upon the execution and delivery by any other Person of a Borrower Joinder or a Guarantor Joinder, such Person shall become a “Grantor” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party to this Security Agreement and named as a “Grantor” on the signature pages hereto. The execution and delivery of any such Borrower Joinder or Guarantor Joinder shall not require the consent of any other Loan Parties hereunder, and the rights and obligations of each Loan Party shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party to this Security Agreement.

Section 14. Miscellaneous.

(a) The provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Security Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable,


in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Security Agreement in any jurisdiction.

(b) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other right, remedy, power or privilege or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they may otherwise have.

(c) All notices, statements, requests and demands given to or made upon any party in accordance with the provisions of this Security Agreement shall be deemed to have been given or made when given or made as provided in the Credit Agreement.

(d) The section headings contained in this Security Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not control or affect its construction or interpretation in any respect.

(e) The Code shall govern the settlement, perfection and the effect of attachment and perfection of the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral and the rights, duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Grantors with respect to the Collateral (whether or not the Code applies to the Collateral). This Security Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with the preceding sentence, the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to the principles of the conflicts of Laws thereof.

(f) The Grantors consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sitting in Allegheny County and of the United States District Court of the Western District of Pennsylvania in any action on, relating to or mentioning this Security Agreement.

Section 15. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR


ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS TO ACCEPT THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS AND ISSUE LETTERS OF CREDIT.

[INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and intending to be legally bound, the undersigned have executed this Security Agreement on the day and year first above written, with the intention that it constitute a document under seal.
