G.Each Obligor appoints Payee its true and lawful attorney until this Note is paid in full or otherwise terminated with full power with full power of substitution, in the name of such Obligor, for the sole use and benefit of Payee, but at Obligor’s expense, to the extent permitted by law, to

exercise, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of such Obligor’s Collateral (to the extent necessary to cause the obligations of such Obligor hereunder to be paid in full) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

i.to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof;

ii.to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto;

viii.to send requests for verification of obligations to any Account Debtor;

ix.grant or issue any exclusive or non-exclusive irrevocable or revocable, royalty-bearing or royalty-free license under any intellectual property used on or in connection with the sale of any Inventory to anyone, including the Payee itself, including but not limited to a license or other right to use such Obligors’ labels, advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Inventory or other Collateral, and such Obligors’ rights under all contracts, licenses, approvals, permits, leases and franchise agreements, to the extent assignable, shall inure to the Payee’s benefit, and

x.to do all other acts and things reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Note;

provided, however, that except in the case of Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market Payee will give Obligors at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made.  If, following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any Account Debtor fails to make payment on any Collateral when due, Payee is authorized, in its sole discretion, either in its own name or in any Obligor’s name, to take such action as Payee reasonably shall deem necessary for the collection of any amounts owed with respect to Collateral or upon which a delinquency exists.  Regardless of any other provision of this Note, however, Payee shall not be liable for its failure to collect, or for its failure to exercise diligence in the collection of, any amounts owed with respect to Collateral except for its own gross negligence or willful

misconduct, nor shall it be under any duty to anyone except any Obligor to account for funds that it shall actually receive under this Note.  A receipt given by Payee to Account Debtor shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance to such Account Debtor, to the extent of any amount so paid to Payee.  Payee may apply or set off amounts paid and the deposits against any liability of any Obligor to Payee.

H.Payee’s sale of less than all the Collateral shall not exhaust Payee’s rights under this Note and Payee is specifically empowered, after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to make successive sales until all the Collateral is sold.  If the proceeds of a sale of less than all the Collateral shall be less than the outstanding obligations of Obligors hereunder, this Note and the security interest shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral just as though no sale had been made.  In the event any sale under this Note is not completed or is, in Payee’s opinion, defective, such sale shall not exhaust Payee’s rights under this Note and Payee shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made.  Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale under this Note as to nonpayment of the obligations of Obligors hereunder, or as to the occurrence of any Event of Default, or as to Payee’s having declared all of such obligations to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Payee, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. Payee may appoint or delegate any one or more Persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Payee, including the sending of notices and the conduct of sale, but such acts must be done in the name and on behalf of Payee.  

I.In addition to any and all other rights afforded to Payee in this Section 14, Payee may exercise all the rights of a Payee under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) with respect to any Collateral and, if cash shall be insufficient to pay all of the obligations of Obligors hereunder in full, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the UCC.  Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to Obligors as required under this Section 14.

J.No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Payee hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent, and in addition to every other such right or remedy, and may be pursued singly, concurrently, successively or otherwise, at the sole discretion of Payee, and shall not be exhausted by any one exercise thereof but may be exercised as often as occasions therefore shall occur.

15.Assignment.  This Note may be freely assigned by Payee.  The obligations of Obligors under this Note may not be assigned without the prior written consent of Payee.

16.Notices.  All notices required to be given to any of the parties hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for all purposes when delivered in person or upon confirmation of receipt when transmitted by facsimile transmission (but only if followed by transmittal by national overnight courier or hand for delivery on the next Business Day) or on receipt after dispatch by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed, or on the next business day if transmitted by national overnight courier, in each case as follows:

17.Severability.  In any event that any provision of this Note is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, such provision shall nevertheless remain valid, legal and enforceable in all such other respects and to such extent as may be permissible.  Any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Note, but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

18.Successor and Assigns.  This Note inures to the benefit of Payee and binds Obligors, and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and the words “Payee” and “Obligors” whenever occurring herein shall be deemed and construed to include such respective permitted successors and assigns.

19.Amendment; Waiver.  No amendment of this Note shall be effective unless such amendment is made in a writing executed by each of Obligor and Payee.  No waiver of any term or condition herein shall constitute a general, further or continuing waiver of such term or condition for future purposes.

20.Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.
