6.           Sale, Lease, or Disposition of Collateral.  Each Debtor will not, other than in the ordinary course of business, sell, contract to sell, lease, encumber (including, without limitation, granting a security interest in all or any portion of the Collateral to any third party other than the Secured Party), or dispose of the Collateral or any interest in it without the written consent of the Secured Party until this Security Agreement and all of the Obligations have been fully satisfied and indefeasibly paid in full.

7.           Dissolution or Liquidation.  Each Debtor shall not commence a dissolution or liquidation without the Secured Party’s prior consent.

11.           Leases.  Each Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party, at such Debtor’s expense, copies of all leases for each leased premises on which such Debtor operates.

12.           Insurance.  Each Debtor shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance on the Collateral against fire, flood, casualty and such other hazards in such amounts, with such deductibles and with such insurers as are customarily used by companies operating in the same industry as such Debtor.  If and when the Secured Party requests such in writing, each Debtor shall furnish the Secured Party with evidence of insurance as the Secured Party may reasonably require.  In the event a Debtor fails to procure or cause to be procured any such insurance or to timely pay or cause to be paid the premium(s) on any such insurance, the Secured Party may do so for such Debtor, but such Debtor shall continue to be liable for the same.  The policies of all such casualty insurance shall contain standard Loss Payable Clauses issued in favor of the Secured Party under which all losses thereunder shall be paid to the Secured Party as the Secured Party’s interest may appear.  Such policies shall expressly provide that the requisite insurance cannot be altered or canceled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Secured Party and shall insure the Secured Party notwithstanding the act or neglect of a Debtor.  Each Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party as such Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, exercisable at the Secured Party’s option to endorse any check which may be payable to such Debtor in order to collect the proceeds of such insurance and any amount or amounts collected by the Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph may be applied by the Secured Party to the Obligations.  Each Debtor also agrees to notify the Secured Party, promptly, upon such Debtor’s receipt of a notice of termination, cancellation, or non-renewal from its insurance company of any such policy.  Each Debtor shall maintain, and shall deliver to the Secured Party upon request evidence of public liability, products liability and business interruption insurance in such amounts as are customary for companies in the same or similar businesses located in the same or similar area.

16.           Time of Performance and Waiver.  In performing any act under any Security Document, time is of the essence.  The Secured Party’s acceptance of partial or delinquent payments, or the failure of the Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy, will not constitute a waiver of any obligation of any Debtor or right of the Secured Party and will not constitute a waiver of any other similar default that occurs later.

17.           Material Adverse Developments.  Each Debtor agrees that immediately upon becoming aware of any development or other information which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition or property, or its ability to perform under this Security Agreement, it shall give to the Secured Party telephonic or facsimile notice specifying the nature of such development or information and such anticipated effect.

21.           Intellectual Property.  In addition to, and without limiting in any way the granting of the liens hereunder, upon the Event of Default, each Debtor hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Secured Party a nonexclusive license and right to use all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents or technical processes owned or used by such Debtor that relate to the Collateral, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable the Secured Party to realize on the Collateral and to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral.  This right shall inure to the benefit of all successors, transferees and assigns of the Secured Party and their successors, transferees and assigns, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, transfer, assignment, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.  Such license and right shall be granted free of charge without the requirement that any payment of any kind or nature whatsoever be made to the Debtor.

22.           Termination of Security Interest.  The security interest granted herein shall terminate, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Debtor, upon the payment in full, or other satisfaction to which the Secured Party agrees, of all Obligations.  Upon such termination Secured Party hereby authorizes each Debtor to file any UCC termination statements necessary to effect such termination and Secured Party shall, at such Debtor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Debtor any additional documents or instruments as such Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

23.           Governing Law.  This Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the validity and perfection or the perfection and the effect of perfection or non-perfection of the security interest created hereby, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the state of California.  Each Debtor hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Los Angeles County, California in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement, (ii) waives any defense based on doctrines of venue or forum non conveniens, or similar rules or doctrines, and (iii) irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such an action or proceeding may be heard and determined in state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.  Each Debtor and the Secured Party waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement.

25.           Validity and Construction.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of that provision will not affect any other provision of this Security Agreement, and this Security Agreement will be construed as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained in it.

26.           Sole Agreement.  The Security Documents constitute the only agreement of the parties with respect to securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, and supersede any prior understandings or written or oral agreements between the parties, respecting the subject matter thereof.

27.           Integrated Agreement.  The Security Documents shall be construed as integrated and complementary of each other, and as augmenting and not restricting the Secured Party’s rights and remedies.  If, after applying the foregoing, an inconsistency still exists, the provisions of this Security Agreement shall constitute an amendment thereto and shall control.

28.           Commercial Code Definitions Applicable.  All terms used in this Security Agreement that are defined in the California Uniform Commercial Code will have the same meaning in this Security Agreement as in the California Uniform Commercial Code.
