The parties acknowledge and agree that from and after the Effective Date there shall be no additional advances under the Revolving Credit Line or Subsidiaries Note.
     4. Grant of Security Interest/Commitment to Release Security Interest.
          (a) The Assignors, jointly and severally, and the Assignee, hereby PLEDGE, ASSIGN and GRANT a security interest in all of the Assignors’, individually and collectively, and Assignee’s, right, title and interest in and to the Collateral: (i) to JANA, to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the New JANA Note; (ii) to Vicis, to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Vicis Note; and (iii) to LSP, to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the LSP Note.

amount of unpaid principal and accrued unpaid interest evidenced by the New JANA Note, the Vicis Note and the LSP Note).
          (b) Each of the New JANA Note, Vicis Note and LSP Note (each, a “Note”) expressly contemplates that from and after the Effective Date the Assignee will complete Business Line Sales (as such term is defined in each Note) and other sales of assets of the Assignors outside of the ordinary course of business. Each Secured Party agrees that so long as the Net Proceeds (as such term is defined in each Note) paid to or received by the Assignee in connection with any Business Line Sale or other sale of assets outside of the ordinary course of business are applied strictly in accordance with Section 8 of each Note, it will release its security interests and liens in and to so much of the Collateral as is included in such Business Line Sale or other sale of assets outside of the ordinary course of business (the “Released Collateral”), and cause any effective Uniform Commercial Code financing statements to be partially terminated and take any other actions necessary to release or terminate any interest it may have with respect to any of the Released Collateral. Excepting only Released Collateral, the security interests in the remaining Collateral will remain in full force and effect.
     5. Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Assignor hereunder (including, without limitation, with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Subsidiaries Note) are independent of the Assumed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Assignor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Arcadia or any other Assignor (each, a “Transaction Party”) or whether any such party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Assignor hereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Assignor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the New Jana Note, the Vicis Note, or the LSP Note or any other agreement executed in connection therewith or any agreement or instrument relating thereto (each of the foregoing, a “Transaction Document”); (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Assumed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Assumed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Transaction Party or otherwise; (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Assumed Obligations; (d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Transaction Party; or (e) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Jana, Vicis or LSP that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or surety. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Assumed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Jana, Vicis, LSP or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Arcadia or any Assignor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
