(b) In addition, to secure the prompt and complete payment, performance and observance of the Secured Obligations and in order to induce the Secured Parties as aforesaid, the Debtor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a right of setoff against the property of the Debtor held by the Secured Parties, consisting of property described above in Section 2(a) now or hereafter in the possession or custody of or in transit to the Secured Parties, for any purpose, including safekeeping, collection or pledge, for the account of the Debtor, or as to which the Debtor may have any right or power.
3. Representations and Warranties. Except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Debtor represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, that:
(a) The Debtor has rights in and the power to transfer, and is the sole beneficial owner of, each item of the Collateral upon which it purport to grant a Lien hereunder free and clear of any and all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) No effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or Lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as may have been filed by the Debtor in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement or the other Note Documents.
(c) This Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on and, upon the filing of appropriate financing statements with the governmental offices listed on Schedule I hereto, a perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on the Collateral with respect to which a Lien may be perfected by filing pursuant to Article 9 of the Code. As of the Closing, such Lien will be prior to all other Liens, except Permitted Encumbrances and is enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from the Debtor (other than purchasers of Inventory in the ordinary course of business).
(d) The Debtors name as it appears in official filings in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or other organization, the type of entity of the Debtor (including corporation, partnership, limited partnership or limited liability company), organizational identification number issued by the Debtors jurisdiction of incorporation or organization or a statement that no such number has been issued, the Debtors jurisdiction of organization or incorporation, the
2
location of the Debtors chief executive office, principal place of business, offices and premises where Collateral is stored or located, and the locations of its books and records concerning the Collateral are set forth on Schedule II hereto. The Debtor has only one state of incorporation or organization. The Debtor has not, during the five years prior to the date of this Security Agreement, been known by or used any other corporate or fictitious name or been party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of the ordinary course of business, except as set forth on Schedule II hereto.

4. Covenants. The Debtor covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that from and after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Termination Date:
(a) Further Assurances.
(i) At any time and from time to time, upon any written request of the Collateral Agent, at the sole expense of the Debtor, the Debtor shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including (A) using all reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate to enforce the security interests granted hereunder; and (B) filing any financing statements, mortgages, continuation statements, assignments and amendments with respect to the Liens granted hereunder as to those jurisdictions that are not Uniform Commercial Code jurisdictions.
(ii) The Debtor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements, continuation statements, assignments and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral, and (b) contain any other information required by Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment. The Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request. The Debtor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof and ratifies and confirms the authorization of the Collateral Agent to file such financing statements (and amendments, if any). The Debtor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to adopt on behalf of the Debtor any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the collateral in any financing statement naming the Collateral Agent or its designee as the secured party and the Debtor as debtor includes assets and properties of the Debtor that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Note Documents or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by the Debtor to the extent of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the financing statement as it
3
applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall the Debtor at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming the Collateral Agent or its designee as secured party and the Debtor as debtor.
(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Debtor shall take all steps necessary to grant the Collateral Agent control of and a perfected Lien on all Chattel Paper, Instruments, Deposit Accounts, Investment Property, investment accounts, security accounts, commodity accounts, letters of credit or bankers acceptance constituting Collateral (including, without limitation, the delivery to the Collateral Agent of all such Collateral, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in black, the delivery of a deposit or investment property control agreement executed by the Debtor and any applicable financial institution).
(iv) The Debtor shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon request of the Collateral Agent, promptly notify (and the Debtor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent so to notify) each Account Debtor in respect of any Accounts of the Debtor that such Collateral has been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder, and that any payments due or to become due in respect thereof are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Maintenance of Records. The Debtor shall keep and maintain, at its own cost and expense, satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, including a record of any and all payments received and any and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral in the same manner such records are presently kept and maintained.
(c) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. The Debtor will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and the Debtor will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Permitted Encumbrances, and will defend the right, title and interest of the Secured Parties in and to any of the Debtors rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(d) Limitations on Disposition. The Debtor will not sell, license, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral (other than Inventory in the ordinary course of business), or attempt or contract to do so except as permitted by the Purchase Agreement.
(e) Further Identification of Collateral. The Debtor will, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, furnish to the Collateral Agent, as often as the Collateral Agent reasonably requests, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in such detail as the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify.
(f) Notices. The Debtor will advise the Collateral Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) or written claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral, and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event which could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the Liens created hereunder.
4
(g) No Reincorporation; No Name Change. The Debtor shall not reincorporate or reorganize itself under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the jurisdictions in which they are incorporated or organized as of the date hereof without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. The Debtor shall not change its legal name without first giving 30 days prior written notice of its intent to do so to the Collateral Agent.
5. Collateral Agents Appointment As Attorney-in-fact. On the Closing Date, the Debtor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a power of attorney (the Power of Attorney) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect the Collateral Agents interests (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Parties to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent agrees with the Secured Parties and the Company that (a) except for the powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) it shall not exercise any power or authority under the Power of Attorney unless such action has been approved in writing by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding (the Required Holders), and (c) the Collateral Agent shall account for any moneys received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney provided that the Secured Parties shall not have any duty as to any Collateral, and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers. NONE OF THE SECURED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO THE DEBTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
6. Remedies: Rights Upon Default.
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the other Note Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtor expressly agrees that in any such event the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Debtor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of the Debtor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving the Debtor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Secured Parties claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
5
thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption the Debtor hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Debtors premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use the Debtors premises without charge for such time or times as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtor further agrees, at the Collateral Agents request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places designated by the Collateral Agent which are reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and the Debtor, whether at the Debtors premises or elsewhere. Until the Collateral Agent is able to affect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to the Debtor to maintain or preserve the rights of the Debtor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Secured Parties or Collateral Agents remedies, with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Secured Obligations as provided in the Note Documents, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Debtor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Debtor hereby waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Secured Party or Collateral Agent as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Debtor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by the Collateral Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. The Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys fees and other expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Debtor
6
acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Parties and/or the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Parties a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Secured Parties or Collateral Agents exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to the Debtor or to impose any duties on the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 6(c).
(d) The Secured Parties and Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Debtor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. The Secured Parties and Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Debtor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as sureties now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable
7
to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.
7. Grant Of Licenses To Use Intellectual Property Collateral. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 6 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 6 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Debtor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, irrevocable, nonexclusive licenses (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Debtor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Debtor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such licenses access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
8. Indemnity; Expenses; Limitation On Secured Parties and Collateral Agents Duty In Respect Of Collateral.
(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Debtor shall indemnify and hold the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, their respective Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the Indemnified Persons) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the termination of the Secured Obligations and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent or any assignment by a Secured Party) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Security Agreement, the other Note Documents or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the Indemnified Liabilities), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of any Indemnified Person; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Debtor, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Note Documents are consummated. All amounts due under this Section 8 shall be payable within five Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this
8
Section 8 shall survive the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the assignment by a Secured Party and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Secured Obligations. In the event that any investigation, litigation or proceeding is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against any Indemnified Person, or any remedial, removal or response action which is requested of it or any other Indemnified Person, for which such Indemnified Person may desire indemnity or defense hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall notify the Debtor in writing of such event; provided that failure to so notify the Debtor shall not affect the right of any Indemnified Person to seek indemnification under this Section 8.
(b) the Debtor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Security Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of the Debtor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by the Debtor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
(c) The Secured Parties and Collateral Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in their possession or under their control. The Secured Parties and Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Secured Parties, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
9. Collateral Agent.
(a) Collateral Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers.
(b) Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as any owner thereof reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent, to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.
(c) Other Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent.
(i) The Collateral Agent has such powers, rights and obligations as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Security Agreement and the other Note Documents. Subject to Section 9(c)(iv), the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, appoint another Person to act as Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent, acting in its capacity as such, shall have only such duties with respect to the Collateral as are set forth herein.
(ii) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Security
9
Agreement and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Security Agreement against the Collateral Agent. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if so directed by the Required Holders, the Collateral Agent shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it by this Security Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(iii) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Security Agreement or the other Note Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon the instructions of the Required Holders and shall in all such cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with such instructions of the Required Holders, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on the Holders. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder at the request of the Required Holders unless the Debtor or the Holders have provided to the Collateral Agent security or indemnity, which the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable discretion, deems sufficient against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to either the Company or the Secured Parties, or any of them, for the performance or non-performance of its duties hereunder, provided such performance or non-performance is within the standards and obligations expressly set forth herein.
(iv) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days notice thereof to the Holders and the Debtor. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, (A) such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and (B) the retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Agent and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent. After any retiring Collateral Agents resignation or replacement hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the former Collateral Agent shall take all steps necessary to assign the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent.
10. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Debtor for liquidation or reorganization, should the Debtor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Debtors assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a voidable preference, fraudulent
10
conveyance, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

11. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of the Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Debtor with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.
12. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Secured Parties shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder,
11
and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Collateral Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Collateral Agent and the Debtor.
13. Limitation By Law.

NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
18. Waiver Of Jury Trial.
