made or processed from such inventory including all substances, if any, commingled therewith or added thereto (herein collectively called “Inventory”);

 

(d) all other accounts or general intangibles of the Borrower not constituting Accounts;

 

(e) all equipment (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of the Borrower (herein collectively called “Equipment”);

property and fixtures of the Borrower, including, without limitation, all proceeds, products, offspring, accessions, rents, profits, income, benefits, substitutions and replacements of and to any of the property of the Borrower described in the preceding clauses of this Section 2.1 (including, without limitation, any proceeds of insurance thereon and all causes of action, claims and warranties now or hereafter held by the Borrower in respect of any of the items listed above) and, to the extent related to any property described in said clauses or such proceeds, products and accessions, all books, correspondence, credit files, records, invoices and other papers, including without limitation all tapes, cards, computer runs and other papers and documents in the possession or under the control of the Borrower or any computer bureau or service company from time to time acting for the Borrower; but excluding any right, title and interest of the Borrower in, to or under the collateral securing Permitted Liens, as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement (the “Excluded Property”), to the extent the security interest created hereby or an assignment as security of all or part of the Borrower’s right, title or interest in, to or under such Excluded Property would breach, violate or cause a default (which would not be excused or permissible under the relevant provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or by entry of the Final Order or Interim Order, as the case may be) under any agreement or Contract, including the Innotrac Stipulation, to which the Borrower is a party or by which it is bound relating to such Excluded Property (it being understood, however, that the proceeds of Excluded Property shall not be excluded from the Collateral except to the extent such a breach, violation or default would arise from the inclusion of such proceeds in the Collateral (which would not be excused or permissible under the relevant provision of the Bankruptcy Code)). Without limiting the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement with respect to such matters, the foregoing grant of a security interest in and of itself shall not be deemed (i) to constitute, require or prevent the assumption of any obligation in the Chapter 11 Case or (ii) to prohibit the rejection of any obligation in the Chapter 11 Case.

However, the Lender shall, at its option, have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any defaults under any such agreements or Contracts being assumed and/or assumed and assigned to the Lender or its designee in connection with the


exercise of its remedies hereunder and under Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement. Nothwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Committee shall be permitted to investigate and commence any claim or action with regard to the Liens and security interests granted herein, which Liens and security interests shall be subject to avoidance if such claims and actions are successful.

Upon entry of the Interim Order or Final Order, as the case may be, such security interest is, or in the case of Collateral in which the Borrower


obtains rights after the date hereof, will be, a perfected first priority security interest, subject to Permitted Liens. Upon entry of the Interim Order or Final Order, as the case may be, all action necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest has been duly taken.

(c) give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable judgment of the Lender) to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such security and pledge interest;

(d) the Lender in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;

 

(e) foreclose on this Agreement and the security interests created thereby, and sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Lender or any of its agents in a public or private sale; and

 

(f) with respect to all unexpired leases and executory contracts (within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code), the Lender shall, without application to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, have the exclusive right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default on the Termination Date, to direct the disposition, subject to the rights and remedies enforceable by or available to parties, other than the Borrower (including rights under §365 of the


Bankruptcy Code), with respect to such property, of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any such property, including directing the Borrower to seek any consent necessary to dispose of such property or assume and assign such property to the Lender or its designee.
