Except for the Prior Lien and Permitted Encumbrances, Debtors will not pledge, mortgage or create, or suffer to exist, a security interest in the Collateral in favor of any person other than Secured Party, and will not sell or transfer the Collateral or any interest therein except in the ordinary course of its business without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

 

(c) The Collateral shall remain personal property irrespective of the manner of its attachment to any real estate.

 

(d) Debtors will immediately notify Secured Party in writing of any change in address from that shown in the Guaranties, any change of state of incorporation or other organization from the state shown in this Agreement, any change of name from the name shown in this Agreement, and shall do, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, deeds, assurances, and instruments as Secured Party may require more completely to vest in and assure to Secured Party its rights hereunder or in any of the Collateral.

 

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Condition and upon further occurrence of any of the following events or conditions: (i) default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations of a Debtor, of any liability or obligation to Secured Party of any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of or for any of such Obligations, or of any covenant or liability contained or referred to herein or in any note, instrument, document or agreement evidencing any such Obligations; (ii) any representation or warranty of a Debtor to induce Secured Party to enter into this Agreement or to extend credit terms to Debtors proving false or erroneous in any material respect; (iii) material loss, material theft, material damage, destruction, sale (other than in the ordinary course of business) or encumbrances of or to the Collateral, or the making of any levy, thereon or seizure or attachment thereof by legal process; (iv) death, dissolution, termination of existence, insolvency, business failure, appointment of a receiver of any part of the property of, assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against any Debtor, or any endorser, guarantor or surety of or for any Obligation; thereupon, and as long as such default continues, Secured Party may, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, without notice or demand declare all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Secured Party shall then have in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the U.C.C., including without limitation thereto the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral, and for the purpose Secured Party may, so far as Debtors can give authority

therefore, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be situated and remove the same there from. Debtors will upon demand make the Collateral available to Secured Party at a place and time designed by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Secured Party will give Debtor at least ten days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale thereof is to be made. From the proceeds of the sale, Secured Party shall be entitled to retain (i) all sums secured hereby, (ii) its reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale and selling and (iii) reasonable legal expenses incurred by it in connection herewith and with such sale. No waiver by Secured Party of any default shall be effective unless in writing nor operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on another occasion.

 

(f) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, in the event of the Secured Party’s exercising any of its rights and remedies of a secured party under the U.C.C. or by any person, firm, corporation or other entity who has guaranteed the Debtors’ obligations to the Secured Party, the Secured Party shall have the right to conduct a sale under this Security Agreement and Guarantee singly, jointly or concurrently, and in such order as, in the opinion of the Secured Party, it deems best to protect the interest of the Secured Party. The Secured Party, in the event of a sale under this Security Agreement or under any such Guarantee, shall have the right to offer all, or a portion, of the secured assets hereunder and all, or a portion, of the assets under the Guarantee, separately, or as an entirety, or in any combination thereof, and the income of such sale accounted for in one account, without distinction between the items of security, or without assigning to them any proportion of such income, the Debtor hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of marshaling.

 

(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Condition, Secured Party is hereby authorized to file such U.C.C. financing statements relating to Collateral in any jurisdiction, and the Debtors shall pay all costs and expenses of filing the same or of filing this Security Agreement in all public filing offices. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Condition, the original or a copy of this Security Agreement may be filed as a financing statement.

 

(h) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Condition, Debtors hereby constitute and appoint Secured Party the true and lawful attorney of Debtors with full power of substitution to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents or instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purpose and carry out the terms of this Security Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

 

Secured Party agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create an event of default under the Note due solely to the occurrence of an event of default under the Debenture, or to create an event of default under the Debenture due solely to the occurrence of an event of default under the Note.

Debtors hereby warrant and covenant from and after the date hereof:

 

(a) Debtors waive demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect both to the Obligations and the Collateral, Debtor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Secured Party may deem advisable. Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any right pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof. Secured Party may exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of reimbursement for liability. Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of Secured Party on the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or paper, shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately or concurrently.

 

(b) This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity and performances, shall be governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

 

(c) Except for the security interest to be granted hereby and the Prior Lien, Debtors are the owner of the Collateral free from all encumbrances and will defend the same against the claims and demands of all persons. Except for the Prior Lien and “Permitted Encumbrances,” as defined in the First Amendment to Credit Agreement of December 9, 2004 among GECC, as Agent and certain of the Debtors, Debtors will not pledge, mortgage or create, or suffer to exist, a security interest in the Collateral in favor of any person other than Secured Party.

 

(d) The rights granted herein shall be cumulative of, and shall not supercede, any rights in the Collateral or otherwise which Secured party may have pursuant to any other document or instrument or at law; provided, however, that the Secured Party hereby authorizes the Debtors or GECC to terminate on the date hereof UCC financing statement number 09-1037555 filed by Secured Party against Valley Drug Company South in Caddo Parish, Louisiana and any other UCC financing statements filed by the Secured Party against any debtor on or before the date hereof.

(e) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and each such counterpart shall constitute an original, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
