validity of any such filing.

security only and shall not subject the Secured Party to, or in any way alter or
modify, any obligation or liability of the Debtor with respect to or arising out
of the Collateral.

to the Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security
Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Secured

Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any
consent or approval which has been obtained.
      3.2 Filings. Fully completed UCC financing statements or other appropriate
filings, recordings or registrations containing a description of the Collateral
have been filed, or delivered to the Secured Party for filing, in each
governmental, municipal or other office in which such filings are necessary to

thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent
filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is
necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with
respect to the filing of continuation statements.
      3.3 Validity of Security Interest. The Security Interest constitutes (a) a
legal and valid security interest in all the Collateral securing the payment and
performance of the Obligations, (b) subject to the filings described in
Section 3.2 above, a perfected security interest in all

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or
any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant
to the UCC or other applicable Law in such jurisdictions, (c) a security
interest that shall be perfected in all Collateral in which a security interest
may be perfected upon the receipt and registering or recording of an appropriate
notice of security interest with the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
as applicable, and (d) a perfected security interest in all Collateral in which
a security interest may be perfected by possession or control by the Secured
Party, in each case, to the extent required pursuant to the provisions hereof.
The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the
Collateral.
     3.4   Limitations on and Absence of Other Liens. Except for Permitted

Debtor has not filed or consented to the filing of (a) any financing statement
or analogous document under the UCC or any other applicable Laws covering any
Collateral, (b) any assignment in which the Debtor assigns any Collateral or
makes any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Collateral with

the Debtor for the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents or the consummation of the Transactions. Neither the execution,

in any breach of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Debtor; (b) violate any Law applicable to the Debtor or the Transactions; or
(c) result in the creation of any Lien upon any assets of the Debtor pursuant to
the terms or provisions of, or will not conflict with, result in the breach or
violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage of
time or both, a default under any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, lease,
franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to which the Debtor is
a party or by which the Debtor or any of its properties may be bound.

do so as required by this Agreement, and the Debtor agrees to reimburse the
Secured Party on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the
Secured Party pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 4.5 shall be interpreted as excusing the Debtor from the

perform, any covenants or other promises of the

Collateral.
          (a) The Debtor agrees that it will not do any act, or omit to do any
act, whereby any Patent constituting Collateral that is material to the conduct

preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent Laws.
          (b) The Debtor will, for each Trademark constituting Collateral which

Patent or Trademark or application therefor, and the

is irrevocable while this Agreement is in effect.
          (e) The Debtor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with
its reasonable business judgment and the practice in any proceeding before the

Remedies
     5.1 Remedies upon Default.
          (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, it is agreed that the Secured Party shall have the right to exercise
any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable
Law and to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different
times: (i) with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property,
Contracts or Contract Rights on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become
an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the
Debtor to the Secured Party, or to license or sublicense, whether general,
special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any
such Collateral worldwide on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the
Secured Party shall determine, and (ii) with or without legal process and with
or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the
Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the
Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing
the Collateral and the Debtor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the
Secured Party on demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Debtor agrees that the Secured Party shall have the right, subject to the
requirements of applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part
of the Collateral, at public or private sale, as the Secured Party shall deem
appropriate. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Debtor, and

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Debtor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of
redemption, stay and appraisal which the Debtor now has or may at any time in
the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted.
          (b) At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
private) sale made pursuant to this Section, the Secured Party may bid for or
purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption,
stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Debtor (all said rights being
also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable Law), the
Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account
thereof by using any Obligation then due and payable to the Secured Party from
the Debtor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Secured Party may,
upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to the Debtor therefor. For purposes
hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof
shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Secured Party shall be free to carry out
such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Debtor shall not be entitled to the
return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding
the fact that after the Secured Party shall have entered into such an agreement,
all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full;
provided that the Secured Party shall deliver to the Debtor any monies or
Proceeds it receives, from the Debtor or otherwise, on account of the
Obligations in excess of such amount required to pay in full the Obligations. As
an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the
Secured Party may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose
this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a
judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or
pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
     5.2 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of
enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies under this Article at
such time as the Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such
rights and remedies, the Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party an
irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to the Debtor) to use, license or sublicense any of the
Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by the Debtor, and wherever the same
may be located, and including in such license reasonable 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, in each case
subject to the terms and conditions and to the extent allowable under any
agreement with a third party pursuant to which such Collateral was initially
licensed. The use of such license by the Secured Party shall be exercised, at
the option of the Secured Party, upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other
transaction entered into by the Secured Party in accordance herewith shall be
binding upon the Debtor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of
Default.
     5.3 Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Debtor hereby appoints
the Secured Party the attorney-in-fact of the Debtor for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any
instrument that the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish
the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest while this Agreement is in effect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     5.4 Third Party Approvals or Consents Related to Remedies. In the event
that the Secured Party desires to exercise any remedies, consensual rights or
attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement and determines it necessary
to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental or Regulatory Authority
or any other Person therefor, then, upon the request of the Secured Party, the
Debtor agrees to use its best efforts to assist and aid the Secured Party to
obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the
exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
     6.1 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with
respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements (oral
or written), understandings, negotiations and discussions dealing with the same
subject matter. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of
any kind not expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents shall affect, or
be used to interpret, change or restrict, the express terms and provisions of
this Agreement. The Parties, from time to time during the term of this
Agreement, may modify any of the provisions hereof only by an instrument in
writing duly executed by the Parties.
     6.2 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in
Section 8.2 of the Loan Agreement.
     6.3 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party hereunder,
the Security Interest, and all obligations of the Debtor hereunder, shall be
absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any other Transaction Document, any agreement with respect to
any of the Obligations, or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of
the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or
waiver of or any consent to any departure from any other Transaction Document or
any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of
any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or
consent under or departure from any guaranty, securing or guarantying all or any
of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Debtor in respect of
the Obligations or this Agreement.
     6.4 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Debtor herein and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this
Agreement or the Loan Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by
the Secured Party and shall survive the payment of any amounts or supply of any
services by the Secured Party to the Debtor, regardless of any investigation
made by the Secured Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and
effect until this Agreement shall terminate.

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     6.5 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Secured
Party in either exercising or enforcing any right under this Agreement will
operate as a waiver of, or impair, any such right. No single or partial exercise
or enforcement of any such right will preclude any other or further exercise or
enforcement thereof or the exercise or enforcement of any other right. No waiver
of any such right will have effect unless given in a signed writing. No waiver
of any such right will be deemed a waiver of any other right. The rights and
remedies set forth in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by Law or otherwise.
     6.6 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being
understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in
any other jurisdiction). The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations
to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions to be replaced thereby. It is
understood and agreed among the Parties that this Agreement shall create
separate security interests in the Collateral securing the Obligations as
provided in Section 2.1, and that any determination by any court with
jurisdiction that the security interest securing any Obligation is invalid for
any reason shall not in and of itself invalidate the Security Interest securing
any other Obligations hereunder.

as a matter of convenience, and in no way define, limit, construe or describe
the scope or intent of any section of this Agreement.
     6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed
in any number of counterparts and any Party may execute any such counterpart,
each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and
all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same
instrument. The execution of this Agreement and any such amendment by any Party
will not become effective until counterparts hereof have been executed by both
Parties. The exchange of copies of this Agreement or amendments thereto and of
signature pages by facsimile transmission or by email transmission in portable
digital format, or similar format, shall constitute effective execution and
delivery of such instrument(s) as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the
original Agreement or amendment for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties
transmitted by facsimile or by email transmission in portable digital format, or
similar format, shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all
purposes.
     6.9 Termination. This Agreement and the Security Interest (a) shall
terminate when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly satisfied in full (at
which time the Secured Party shall execute and deliver to the Debtor, at the
Debtor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents that the
Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination) and (b) shall
continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time any payment in respect of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored by the Secured Party upon any bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Debtor or otherwise. Any execution and de-

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

livery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall
be without recourse to or warranty by the Secured Party.
     6.10 Governing Law. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the
Parties arising hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without
limitation, the interpretation, performance, enforcement, breach or termination
thereof and any remedies relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the Laws of the State of North Carolina, as applied to
agreements executed and performed entirely in the State of North Carolina,

inure to the benefit of the Debtor and the Secured Party and their respective
successors and assigns, provided that Debtor may not assign or transfer any or
all of its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this
Agreement, including by operation of law, without the prior written consent of
the Secured Party, and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Debtor
without consent shall be null and void. Nothing in this Section 6.11 shall
preclude the transfer of the Debtor’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement in conjunction with a merger in which the Debtor is not the surviving
entity.
     6.12 Disclaimer. Neither Lender nor Debtor, nor any of such Party’s
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, subcontractors or agents shall have,
under any legal theory (including, but not limited to, contract, negligence and

or goodwill, or any type of special, incidental, indirect or consequential
damage or loss, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement.
     6.13 Jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any
provision of, or based upon any right arising out of, this Agreement may be
brought against either Party in the courts of the State of North Carolina, or,
