(a) To the payment of costs and expenses of Secured Party under Section 6.6.

(b) To the payment of the Obligations in such order as may be selected by Secured Party.

(c) To the applicable Grantor(s) or its successors or assigns, unless otherwise directed by court order.

The Company acknowledges that Secured Party need not proceed against any or all of the Collateral before proceeding against the Company for its other assets and acknowledges that as long as the proceeds actually received from the Collateral or otherwise are insufficient to cover the Obligations, the Company remains fully liable on the Obligations.

7. Attorney-In-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent of Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, from time to time in the Secured Party’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Security Agreement, to take all actions and execute and acknowledge all documents with respect to the Collateral that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to secure any of Secured Party’s rights as provided herein upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. This appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable as it is coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of this power, at any time when Secured Party is entitled to make collection in respect of the Collateral, Secured Party shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Grantor representing any dividend payment or other distribution or receipt in respect of the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. Each Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done in accordance with this Section 7. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.

10.7.Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflict of laws rules of the State of California or any other jurisdiction that would call for the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably consents, for itself and its legal representatives, partners, successors and assigns, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of California for the limited purpose of any action or proceeding to interpret or enforce this Agreement, and further agrees that any action arising solely from or relating solely this Agreement shall be instituted and prosecuted only in the courts of the State of California located in the County of Los Angeles, and hereby waives any rights it may have to personal service of summons, complaint or other process in connection therewith, and agrees that service may be made by registered or certified mail to such party at its principal headquarters.

10.8. Waivers Strictly Construed. With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to any party hereunder (i) no waiver or extension of time shall be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party; and (ii) no alteration, modification or impairment shall be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise, or by any other indulgence. A waiver by the Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Secured Party would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Secured Party of 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.
 
10.9. Costs and Expenses. The Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay, on demand, whether or not any Grantor is in default under this Security Agreement and whether or not any proceeding to enforce this Security Agreement or the Obligations has been commenced, all of the Secured Party’s reasonable costs and expenses, including all reasonable fees and disbursements of the Secured Party’s legal counsel (including counsel who are the Secured Party’s employees), incurred in connection with the preparation and enforcement of this Security Agreement, the security interest granted by this Security Agreement, the receipt of proceeds of any Grantor’s Accounts or other Collateral under this Security Agreement, the care and preservation of the Collateral or the preparation of any requested amendments to this Security Agreement, modifications of this Security Agreement or waivers or consents in connection with this Security Agreement, or any intercreditor agreement negotiated with respect to any Additional Indebtedness incurred by the Company, up to a maximum of $30,000 in the case of amounts paid to outside counsel in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the other Related Agreements, or any other agreements with respect to the issuance of Additional Indebtedness. Any such expenses so incurred by the Secured Party shall be charged to the Company’s account, shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. If any tax, assessment, charge, lien or claim is claimed or made with respect to the Collateral that in the Secured Party’s opinion may possibly create a valid obligation having priority over the security interest granted to the Secured Party by this Security Agreement, the Secured Party may, in its sole discretion and without notice to any Grantor, pay such taxes, assessments, charges, liens or claims, and the amount thereof shall be charged to the Company’s account, shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. Upon any Grantor’s failure to perform any of its duties under this Security Agreement, the Secured Party may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any or all of such duties, and such Grantor will pay to the Secured Party on its written demand an amount equal to the cash or out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Secured Party in so doing plus interest thereon from the date such expense is incurred until it is paid at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate of interest payable from time to time on the Obligations, and such amount shall be charged to the Company’s account, shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral.

10.10. Amendments, Modifications and Waivers with Respect to Obligations. Each Grantor hereby consents that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against it and without notice to or further assent by it, the liability of any other person or entity on or for any part of the Obligations, or any collateral security or guaranty therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released and any other collateral security document or guaranty or document delivered in connection therewith to which the Company or any other Grantor is not a party may be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Secured Party may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset at any time held for payment of the Obligations may be sold, waived, surrendered or released, all without the necessity of any reservation of rights against such Grantor and without notice to or further assent by such Grantor, and such Grantor will remain bound hereunder notwithstanding any such renewal, extension, modification, acceleration, compromise, amendment, supplement, restatement, termination, sale, exchange, waiver, surrender or release. Each Grantor waives any and all notice of or proof of reliance by the Secured Party on this Security Agreement, and the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Security Agreement, and all dealings between the Secured Party and the Company shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance on this Security Agreement. Each Grantor’s liability hereunder shall not be limited, diminished or affected by, and each Grantor hereby waives any defense based upon, the happening from time to time of any event, action or circumstance that would result in the release or discharge, under suretyship laws or otherwise, of a guarantor from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained herein.
 
10.11. No Usury. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provisions of this Security Agreement shall require the payment by or permit the collection of interest from the Company in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Security Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither the Company nor the sureties, guarantors, successors or assigns of the Company shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant thereto. If for any reason interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required or permitted by any court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by the Related Agreements; and, if the principal amount has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Company. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Company and the Secured Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by the Obligations so that the interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Maximum Rate” shall mean the maximum nonusurious interest rate from time to time allowed by applicable law as now, or to the extent allowed by law as may hereafter be, in effect in any jurisdiction in which the interest rate or laws are mandatorily applicable to the Company.

10.12. Rules of Construction.

10.12.1. Headings. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience, and in no way define, limit, or extend or interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular Article or Section.

10.12.2. Tense and Case. Throughout this Agreement, as the context may require, references to any word used in one tense or case shall include all other appropriate tenses or cases.

10.12.3. Severability. The validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected even if one or more of the provisions of this Agreement will be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

10.12.4. Agreement Negotiated. The parties hereto are sophisticated and have been represented throughout this transaction by lawyers who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not believe that the presumptions of laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied in this case and therefore waive the effect of such laws and rules.

10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
