To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtors waive any right to require Secured Party to proceed against any Person, exhaust any Collateral, or have any Other Liable Party joined with Debtors in any suit arising out of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement or pursue any other remedy in Secured Partys power; waive any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement or of creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Secured Obligations from time to time; and waive any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Other Liable Party, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Other Liable Party.  All dealings between Debtors and Secured Party, whether
or not resulting in the creation of the Secured Obligations, shall conclusively be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Agreement.  Until all the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully performed and the Credit Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms, Debtors shall have no right to subrogation, and Debtors waive until all the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully performed and the Credit Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms, any right to enforce any remedy which Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Other Liable Party and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any Collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Secured Party.  Debtors authorize Secured Party, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Debtors and without affecting Debtors liability hereunder or on the Secured Obligations, from
time to time to (a) take and hold any other property of Debtors as collateral, other than the Collateral, for the payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of the Collateral or such other property; (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, apply the Collateral or such other property to the Secured Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Secured Party in its discretion may reasonably determine; (c) renew, extend for any period, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or release the obligation of any Other Liable Party with respect to any or all of the Secured Obligations or Collateral; (d) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement any of the provisions of any of the Security Documents, the Credit Agreement or the Note or any other promissory note or document evidencing any of the Secured Obligations (except for an amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing to which
a Debtor is a party to the extent such amendment or supplement requires the consent of Debtors); and (e) release or substitute any Other Liable Party.

Section 5.8Transfer of Secured Obligations and Collateral.  Secured Party may transfer any or all of Secured Partys interest in the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and upon any such transfer Secured Party may transfer its security interest in any or all of the Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability with respect to the Collateral transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder with respect to Collateral so transferred;provided,however, with respect to any security interest in the Collateral not so transferred, Secured Party shall retain all rights, powers and remedies
provided under this Agreement.  Secured Party may at any time deliver any or all of the Collateral to Debtors whose receipt shall

        12

be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Secured Party shall thereafter be discharged from any liability therefor.

Section 5.9Cumulative Security and Rights.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement in no manner shall impair or affect any other security (by endorsement or otherwise) for the Secured Obligations.  No security taken hereafter as security for the Secured Obligations shall impair in any manner or affect this Agreement.  All such present and future additional security is to be considered as cumulative security.  The rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative.  The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party.  Furthermore, regardless of whether or not the
Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights, powers and remedies are asserted, Secured Party shall have the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the Code.  Secured Party may exercise its bankers lien or right of set-off with respect to the Secured Obligations in the same manner as if the Secured Obligations were unsecured.

Section 5.10Continuing Agreement.  This is a continuing Agreement and the grant of a security interest hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and all the rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party hereunder shall continue to exist until (a) the Secured Obligations are paid in full or otherwise fully performed, and (b) the Credit Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms, at which time Secured Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Debtors, at Debtors expense, releases and satisfactions, or transfers without warranty, of all Collateral, including releases of deeds of trust and mortgages, financing statements, and other registrations of security with respect to the Collateral, and Debtors shall deliver to Secured Party a general release of all of Secured Partys
liabilities and obligations under the Loan Documents and an acknowledgment that the same have been terminated.  Furthermore, it is contemplated by the parties hereto that there may be times when no Secured Obligations are owing; notwithstanding such occurrences, however, this Agreement shall remain valid and shall be in full force and effect as to subsequent Secured Obligations provided Secured Party has not executed a written termination statement and returned possession of the Collateral to Debtors.  Otherwise this Agreement shall continue irrespective of the fact that the liability of any Other Liable Party may have ceased, or irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Note or any of the Security Documents, including the Credit Agreement, to which any Other Liable Party may be a party, and notwithstanding the reorganization, death, incapacity or bankruptcy of any Other Liable Party, and notwithstanding the reorganization or bankruptcy of any Debtor, or any other event or
proceeding affecting any Debtor or any Other Liable Party.

Section 5.11Exercise of Rights, Etc.Time shall be of the essence for the performance of any act under this Agreement or the Secured Obligations by Debtors or Other Liable Party, but neither Secured Partys acceptance of partial or delinquent payments nor any forbearance, failure or delay by Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy shall be deemed a waiver of any obligation of Debtors or of Other Liable Party or of any right, power or remedy of Secured Party or preclude any other or further exercise thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 5.12Remedy and Waiver.  Secured Party may remedy any Default or Event of Default without waiving the Default or Event of Default or waiving any prior or subsequent Default or Event of Default.

Section 5.13Non-Judicial Remedies. Secured Party may enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and Debtors expressly waive, renounce and knowingly relinquish any and all legal rights which might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process.  In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Debtors recognize and concede that such remedies are consistent with the usage of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity, and are the result of bargain at arms length.  Nothing herein is intended to prevent Secured Party or Debtors from resorting to judicial process at any partys option.

Section 5.14Compliance with Other Laws.  Secured Party may comply in all material respects with the requirements of any applicable state or federal law in connection with the disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, and compliance with such laws will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral.

Section 5.15Disclaimer of Warranties.  Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or similar warranties.  The disclaimer of any such warranties will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral.

Section 5.16Sales on Credit.  If Secured Party sells all or any part of the Collateral upon credit, Debtors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Secured Party and applied against the Secured Obligations.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Debtors shall be credited with the proceeds of such sale.

Section 6.4Amendment and Waiver.  This Agreement may not be amended (nor may any of its terms be waived) except in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.5Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is rendered or declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of any existing or subsequently enacted legislation or by a judicial decision which shall have become final, Debtors and Secured Party shall promptly meet and discuss substitute provisions for those rendered invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but all of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 6.6Survival of Agreements.  All representations and warranties of Debtors herein, and all covenants and agreements herein not fully performed before the effective date of this Agreement, shall survive such date.

Section 6.7Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of all parties hereto be contained on any one counterpart hereof.  Each counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be transmitted and signed by facsimile and portable document format (PDF).  The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Laws, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on Debtors and Secured Party.  Secured Party may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original;provided that, the
failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or PDF document or signature.

Section 6.8Successors and Assigns.  The covenants and agreements herein contained by or on behalf of Debtors shall bind Debtors, each Debtors legal representatives, successors and assigns and all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and permitted assigns, in each case as provided under the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.9Titles of Articles, Sections and Subsections.  All titles or headings to articles, sections, subsections or other divisions of this Agreement are only for the convenience of the parties and shall not be construed to have any effect or meaning with respect to the other content of such articles, sections, subsections or other divisions, such other content being controlling as to the agreement between the parties hereto.

Section 6.10WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT WHICH IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AT ANY TIME ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE NOTE, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, BEFORE OR AFTER MATURITY.

Section 6.11Interest.  It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly to usury laws applicable to the Secured Party.  Interest on the indebtedness is expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received by the Secured



1346459v5
        15

Party exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, any of the other Security Documents or of any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, would be usurious under applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity so that the aggregate consideration which constitutes interest that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged for, or received shall not exceed the maximum amount allowed by applicable law and such amount that would otherwise be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under the Note or on account of any other indebtedness of the Debtors to the Secured Party, or if
principal of the Note and such other indebtedness has been paid in full, refunded to the Debtors.  In determining whether or not the interest paid or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums hereunder exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Debtors and the Secured Party shall, to the maximum 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, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the highest lawful rate, and/or (d) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable law.

THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN AND THEREIN AND WILL NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
