(c) Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Collateral.
(i) Grantors shall notify Lender immediately if they
know or have reason to know that any application or registration
relating to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter
existing) may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse
determination or development (including the institution of, or any
such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office or any court) regarding any Grantor's ownership of any
Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or
to keep and maintain the same.
(ii) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or
through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an
application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the
United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency
without giving Lender prior written notice thereof.
(iii) Grantors shall take all actions necessary or
requested by Lender to maintain and pursue each application, to
obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration
of each of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now or hereafter
existing), including the filing of applications for renewal,
affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition
and interference and cancellation proceedings.
(iv) In the event that any of the Patent, Trademark or
Copyright Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or
diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall comply with Section
5(a)(vii) of this Security Agreement. Such Grantor shall, unless
such Grantor shall reasonably determine that such Patent, Trademark
or Copyright Collateral is in no way material to the conduct of its
business or operations, promptly xxx for infringement,
misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for
such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take
such other actions as Lender shall deem appropriate under the
circumstances to protect such Patent, Trademark or Copyright
Collateral.
(d) Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought
by Lender relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto or
to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, each Grantor will save,
indemnify and keep Lender harmless from and against all expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of
any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability
whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral,
arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising
out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or
13
in favor of, such obligor or its successors from such Grantor, except to the
extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable solely to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of Grantors shall be and remain
enforceable against and only against Grantors and shall not be enforceable
against Lender.
(e) Compliance with Terms of Accounts, etc. In all material
respects, each Grantor will perform and comply with all obligations in respect
of the Collateral and all other agreements to which it is a party or by which it
is bound relating to the Collateral.
(f) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. No Grantor will create,
permit or suffer to exist, and each Grantor 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
Lender in and to any of such Grantor's rights under the Collateral against the
claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(g) Limitations on Disposition. No Grantor will sell, license,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt or
contract to do so except as permitted herein or in the Loan Agreement.
(h) Further Identification of Collateral. Grantors will, if so
requested by Lender, furnish to Lender, as often as Lender requests, statements
and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as Lender may reasonably request, all
in such detail as Lender may specify.
(i) Notices. Grantors will advise Lender promptly, in
reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) or claim
made or asserted against any of the Collateral, and (ii) of the occurrence of
any other event which would have a material adverse effect on the aggregate
value of the Collateral or on the Liens created hereunder.
(j) Good Standing Certificates. Not less frequently than once
during each calendar semester, unless Lender shall otherwise consent, provide to
Lender a certificate of good standing from its state of incorporation or
organization.
(k) No Reincorporation. Without limiting the negative
covenants provided under the Loan Agreement, no Grantor shall reincorporate or
reorganize itself under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction
in which it is incorporated or organized as of the date hereof without the prior
written consent of Lender.
(l) Terminations; Amendments Not Authorized. Each Grantor
acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or
amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement
without the prior written consent of Lender and agrees that it will not do so
without the prior written consent of Lender, subject to such Grantor's rights
under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.
14
6. LENDER'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
On the date hereof each Grantor shall execute and deliver to
Lender 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 Secured Obligations have been paid in full. The powers conferred on
Lender under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Lender's interests in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such
powers. Lender agrees 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, and (b) Lender shall account for any moneys received by Lender in
respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power
of Attorney provided that Lender shall not have any duty as to any Collateral,
and Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a
result of the exercise of such powers. NEITHER LENDER NOR ITS AFFILIATES,
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE
TO ANY GRANTOR 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, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES.
7. REMEDIES: RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it
under this Security Agreement and the Loan Agreement 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,
Lender may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees
that in any such event Lender, 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 such Grantor 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 such Grantor where any Collateral is
located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a
final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity
for a hearing on Lender's claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble,
process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and
may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to
15
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. Lender 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 Lenders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of
any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor
hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time
with or without notice. Lender shall have the right to conduct such sales on any
Grantor's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Grantor's
premises without charge for such time or times as Lender deems necessary or
advisable.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continued,
each Grantor further agrees, at Lender's request, to assemble the Collateral and
make it available to Lender at a place or places designated by Lender which are
reasonably convenient to Lender and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor's
premises or elsewhere. Until Lender is able to effect a sale, lease, or other
disposition of Collateral, Lender 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 Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to any Grantor to
maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with
respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Lender. Lender
may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take
possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Lender's remedies (for the
benefit of Lender), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or
hearing as to such appointment. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Secured
Obligations, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the
payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, need
Lender account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and
demands against Lender 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 Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Lender 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. Grantors 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 Lender to collect such deficiency.
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each
Grantor 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.
16
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the
Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender
(i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Lender 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 Grantor, 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 Lender against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from
the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment
bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Lender in the
collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges
that the purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications
of what actions or omissions by the Lender would not be commercially
unreasonable in the Lender's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and
that other actions or omissions by the Lender shall not be deemed commercially
unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7(c).
Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7(c)
shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on
Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or
by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).
(d) Lender shall not be required to make any demand upon, or
pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, 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
17
or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect
guarantee thereof. Lenders 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 the Loan Agreement shall be cumulative. To the extent it may
lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes
the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Lender, any
valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and
all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which,
but for this provision, might be applicable 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.
8. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL.
For the purpose of enabling Lender to exercise rights and remedies under SECTION
7 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of SECTION 7 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 Lender shall
be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby
grants to Lender an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without
payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or
sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license
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.
9. LIMITATION ON LENDERS' DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL.
Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its
possession or under its control. Lender 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 Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
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 any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor
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 any Grantor's 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,"
18
"fraudulent 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. NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it
is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any
of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to
give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this
Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the
manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Loan Agreement.
12. 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 Loan Agreement which, taken together, set forth the complete
understanding and agreement of Lender and Grantors with respect to the matters
referred to herein and therein.
13. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Lender shall not by any
act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or
remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by
Lender and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Lender of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have had on any future
occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of
Lender, 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 Lender and
Grantors.
14. LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and powers
provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the
exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the
provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all
applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited
to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement
invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
19
15. TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. Subject to SECTION
10 hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon payment in full of the
secured Obligations.
16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement and all
obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such
Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Lender, hereunder,
inure to the benefit of Lender, all future holders of any instrument evidencing
any of the Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No
sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other
dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured
Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner
affect the Lien granted to Lender hereunder. No Grantor may assign, sell,
hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this
Security Agreement.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be executed in
any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and
separately constitute one agreement.
18. GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN
ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE
OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS
MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL
COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN
GRANTORS AND LENDER PERTAINING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, THAT LENDERS
AND GRANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD
BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING
IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING
SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE
20
COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A
JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF LENDER. EACH GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS
AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN
ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE
BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS
AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS
DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF
THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND
AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH
ON SECTION 8.1 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED
COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER
DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.
19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN
CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY
RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE
STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES
DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE
APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE
BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY
DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG LENDER AND
GRANTORS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN
AGREEMENT.
20. SECTION TITLES. The Section titles contained in this
Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of
any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties
hereto.
21. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement.
In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this
Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties
hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring
any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security
Agreement.
21
22. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties represents to each
other party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and,
specifically, the provisions of SECTION 18 and SECTION 19, with its counsel.
23. BENEFIT OF LENDER. All Liens granted or contemplated
hereby shall be for the benefit of Lender, and all proceeds or payments realized
from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Secured
Obligations.
22
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this
Security Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer
as of the date first set forth above.
