C. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery of the Sixth Amendment to Loan Agreement by the Lenders, the Lenders require Debtor to secure Debtor’s obligations to the Lenders and to the Agent under this Agreement by granting the Agent a lien on and security interest in all of Debtor’s personal property except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 1 hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be bound hereby, Debtor agrees with Agent; for the benefit of Agent and the Secured Creditors, as follows:

(b) Debtor agrees with regard to the Collateral and Proceeds (but not with respect to any property other than Collateral and Proceeds), unless Lenders agree otherwise in writing: (i) that Agent is authorized to file financing statements in the name of Debtor to perfect Agent’s security interest in Collateral and Proceeds; (ii) where applicable, to insure the Collateral with Agent named as loss payee, in form, substance and amounts, under agreements, against risks and liabilities, and with insurance companies, in each case as required by the Loan Documents or in a manner otherwise satisfactory to Agent; (iii) where applicable, to operate the Collateral in accordance with all applicable statutes, rules and regulations relating to the use and control thereof, and not to use any Collateral for any unlawful purpose or in any way that would void any insurance required to be carried in connection therewith; (iv) not to remove the Collateral from Debtor’s premises, except (A) for deliveries to buyers in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business and (B) Collateral which consists of mobile goods as defined in the Oregon Uniform Commercial Code, in which case Debtor agrees not to remove or permit the removal of such Collateral from its state of domicile for a period in excess of thirty (30) calendar days; (v) to pay when due all license fees; registration fees and other charges in connection with any Collateral; (vi) except to the extent expressly permitted in writing by Agent, not to permit any lien on the Collateral or Proceeds, including without limitation, liens arising from repairs to or storage of the Collateral, except in favor of Agent; (vii) not to sell, hypothecate or dispose of, nor permit the transfer by operation of law of, any of the Collateral or Proceeds or any interest therein, except sales of (I) inventory to buyers in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business and (II) Collateral (in addition to inventory) in amounts permitted by Agent; (viii) to permit Agent to inspect the Collateral at any time; (ix) to keep, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, complete and accurate records regarding all Collateral and Proceeds, and to permit Agent or its representatives to inspect the same and make copies thereof at any reasonable time; (x) if requested by Agent, to receive and use reasonable diligence to collect Collateral consisting of accounts and other rights to payment and Proceeds, after an Event of Default, in trust and as the property of Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, and to immediately endorse as appropriate and deliver such Collateral and Proceeds to Agent daily in the exact form in which they are received together with a collection report in form satisfactory to Agent; (xi) not to commingle Collateral or Proceeds, or collections thereunder, with other property except for Proceeds deposited in Debtor’s account(s) maintained at Agent. As used herein the prohibition on commingling of Collateral refers to combining or intermixing Equipment or inventory in which Agent is granted a security interest pursuant to this Agreement with other property in which Agent has no security interest if the effect of such combining or intermixing is that the property in which Agent is not granted a security interest hereunder cannot be differentiated and separated from the Collateral in which Agent is granted a security interest pursuant to this Agreement; (xii) to give only allowances and credits on accounts in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business and to advise Agent and each Secured Creditor of the same immediately in writing if they affect any rights to payment or Proceeds in any material respect; (xiii) from time to time, when requested by Agent, to prepare and deliver a schedule of all Collateral and Proceeds subject to this Agreement, and to assign in writing and deliver to Agent all accounts, contracts, leases and other chattel paper, instruments, documents and other evidences thereof, (xiv) in the event Agent elects to receive payments or rights to payment or Proceeds hereunder to pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith; including reasonable expenses of accounting, correspondence, collection efforts, reporting to account or contract debtors, filing, recording, record keeping and expenses incidental thereto; and (xv) to provide any service and do any other acts which may be necessary to maintain, preserve and protect all Collateral and, as appropriate and applicable, to keep all Collateral in good and saleable

condition, to deal with the Collateral in accordance with the standards and practices adhered to generally by users and manufacturers of like property, and to keep all Collateral and Proceeds free and clear of all defenses, rights of offset and counterclaims.

7. POWERS OF AGENT. Debtor appoints Agent its true attorney in fact to perform any of the following powers, which are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until termination of this Agreement and may be exercised from time to time by Agent’s officers and employees, or any of them: (a) to perform any obligation of Debtor hereunder in Debtor’s name or otherwise; (b) to give notice to account debtors or others of Agent’s rights in the Collateral and Proceeds, to enforce or forebear from enforcing the same and make extension and modification agreements with respect thereto; (c) to release persons liable on Collateral or Proceeds and to give receipts and acquittances and compromise disputes in connection therewith; (d) to release or substitute security; (e) to resort to security in any order; (f) to prepare, execute, file, record or deliver notes, assignments, schedules, designation statements, financing statements, continuation statements, termination statements, statements of assignment, applications for registration or like papers to perfect, preserve or release Agent’s interest in the Collateral and Proceeds; (g) to receive, open and read mail addressed to Debtor; (h) to take cash; instruments for the payment of money and other property to which Agent is entitled; (i) to verify facts concerning the Collateral and Proceeds by inquiry of obligors thereon, or otherwise, in its own name or a fictitious name; (j) to endorse, collect, deliver and receive payment under instruments for the payment of money constituting or relating to Proceeds; (k) to prepare, adjust, execute, deliver and receive payment under insurance claims, and to collect and receive payment of and endorse any instrument in payment of loss or returned premiums or any other insurance refund or return, and to apply such amounts received by Agent or any Secured Creditor, toward repayment of the Obligations in the manner specified by the Loan Agreement or, where appropriate and if approved by Majority Lenders, replacement of the Collateral; (l) to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which Debtor would have, but for this Agreement, with respect to all Collateral and Proceeds subject hereto; (m) to enter onto Debtor’s premises in inspecting the Collateral; (n) to make withdrawals from and to close deposit accounts or other accounts with any financial institution, wherever located, into which Proceeds may have been deposited, and to apply funds so withdrawn to payment of the Obligations; (o) to preserve or release the interest evidenced by chattel paper to which Agent is entitled hereunder and to endorse and deliver any evidence of title incidental thereto; and (p) to do all acts and things and execute all documents in the name of Debtor or otherwise, deemed by Agent as necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of its rights hereunder. Agent shall exercise its rights as attorney in fact under this Agreement only upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement).

8. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES, CHARGES, LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS. Debtor agrees to pay, when due, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and assessments (collectively, the “Assessments”) against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon the failure of Debtor to do so, Agent or any Secured Creditor at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same. Any such payments made by Agent or any Secured Creditor shall be obligations of Debtor to Agent or such Secured Creditor, due and payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions of

 

6


Section 15 of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Assessments that are payable in installments may be paid in installments as long as each installment is paid by its due date. Further, Debtor may withhold payment and diligently contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, the amount or validity of any Assessments as long as Debtor provides Agent and each Secured Creditor with prior written notice of the contest in cases where the amount in controversy exceeds $1,000,000 and if Agent or any Secured Creditor so requests, provides a bond or other security acceptable to Agent and Lenders.

OREGON STATUTORY WARNING

WARNING: UNLESS YOU PROVIDE US WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE AS REQUIRED BY OUR CONTRACT OR LOAN AGREEMENT, WE MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT YOUR EXPENSE TO PROTECT OUR INTEREST. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, ALSO PROTECT YOUR INTEREST. IF THE COLLATERAL BECOMES DAMAGED, THE COVERAGE WE PURCHASE MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM YOU MAKE OR ANY CLAIM MADE AGAINST YOU. YOU MAY LATER CANCEL THIS COVERAGE BY PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED PROPERTY COVERAGE ELSEWHERE.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY US. THE COST OF THIS INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO YOUR CONTRACT OR LOAN BALANCE. IF THE COST IS ADDED TO YOUR CONTRACT OR LOAN BALANCE, THE INTEREST RATE ON THE UNDERLYING CONTRACT OR LOAN WILL APPLY TO THIS ADDED AMOUNT. THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE MAY BE THE DATE YOUR PRIOR COVERAGE LAPSED OR THE DATE YOU FAILED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF COVERAGE.

THE COVERAGE WE PURCHASE MAY BE CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN INSURANCE YOU CAN OBTAIN ON YOUR OWN AND MAY NOT SATISFY ANY NEED FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE COVERAGE OR ANY MANDATORY LIABILITY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW. (Each reference to “you” and “your” shall refer to Debtor and each reference to “us” and “we” shall refer to Agent.)

9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, is an Event of Default under this Agreement.

10. REMEDIES. Upon an Event of Default, Agent shall have all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to a Secured Creditor upon default under the Oregon Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a) to contact all persons obligated to Debtor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to Agent, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Agent shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder or under the Loan Documents shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect

 

7


any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Agent or any Secured Creditor of any default hereunder or under the Loan Documents, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. While an Event of Default exists: (a) Debtor will deliver to Agent from time to time, as requested by Agent, current lists of all Collateral and Proceeds; (b) Debtor will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved by Majority Lenders; (c) at Agent’s request, Debtor will assemble and deliver all Collateral and Proceeds, and books and records pertaining thereto, to Agent at a reasonably convenient place designated by Agent; and (d) Agent may, without notice to Debtor, enter onto Debtor’s premises and take possession of the Collateral. With respect to any sale or other disposition by Agent of any Collateral subject to this Agreement, Debtor hereby expressly grants to Agent the right to sell such Collateral using any or all of Debtor’s trademarks, trade names, trade name rights and/or proprietary labels or marks. Debtor further agrees that Agent shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.

11. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In disposing of Collateral hereunder, Agent may disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Agent to the payment of expenses and fees incurred by or owed to Agent, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be distributed by Agent toward the payment of the Obligations in such order of application as may be required by the Loan Documents. Upon the appointment of a new Agent, Agent shall transfer all of the Collateral or Proceeds and shall be fully discharged from all liability and responsibility with respect to the Collateral so transferred and all acts of the successor Agent upon and after acceptance of its appointment, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers of Agent hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred.

12. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and all commitments by the Secured Creditors to extend credit to Debtor pursuant to the Loan Documents have been terminated, the power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to Agent hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Agent at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the personal liability of Debtor may have ceased, unless such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Obligations secured hereunder.

13. MISCELLANEOUS WAIVERS. Debtor hereby waives any right to require Agent or any Secured Creditor to (i) proceed against Debtor or any other person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security from Debtor or any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of Debtor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (d) except as specifically required under other provisions of this Agreement, make any presentment or demand, or give any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any Collateral or Proceeds. Debtor further waives any right to direct the application of payments or security for any Obligations of Debtor or indebtedness of customers of Debtor.
