1.           Collateral Security.  As collateral security for the payment and performance of the Borrower’s obligations under the Note and the prompt and punctual performance of all undertakings and covenants of the Borrower under or pursuant to the Note, whether now existing or hereafter incurred (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Obligations”), each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party a lien upon and security interest in all assets and property of every kind, nature and description, wherever located and in whatever form, whether real or personal, including, without limitation all accounts and accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment, fixtures, cash or cash equivalents, general intangibles, intellectual property (including, without limitation, trademarks, copyrights, patents), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), instruments, letter of credit rights, securities and investment property, financial assets, deposit accounts, documents, goods (including without limitation, all accessions to any goods), causes of action and other property rights to cash settlements, and all books and records pertaining to all such property, in which such Debtor at any time has any right, title and interest (the “Collateral”).

Such Debtor shall give the Secured Party prior written notice of any change in such Debtors’ name, identity or corporate structure, or of any reincorporation, reorganization or other action that may result in a change of the jurisdiction or organization of such Debtor.

  

  

  

 

c.           The execution, delivery and performance by such Debtor of this Security Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement and financing statements delivered by such Debtor to the Secured Party in connection with this Security Agreement (this Security Agreement together with the Intellectual Property Security Agreement and the financing statements are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Security Document” and collectively as the “Security Documents”) are within such Debtor’s powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not contravene (i) such Debtor’s charter or bylaws or (ii) any law binding on or affecting such Debtor.

3.           Financing Statements.  Each Debtor authorizes the Secured Party to file any financing statement necessary to perfect the liens and security interests granted under this Security Agreement, and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the signature of such Debtor where permitted by applicable law.  At any time upon the request of the Secured Party, each Debtor shall execute or deliver to the Secured Party any and all financing statements, original financing statements in lieu of continuation statements, security agreements, pledges, assignments by way of security, endorsements of certificates of title, and all other similar documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party (collectively, the “Additional Documents”), and take any other actions, that the Secured Party may request in its reasonable discretion to create, perfect and continue perfected or to better perfect the Secured Party’s lien on the Collateral, and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.           Power of Attorney.  Each of the officers and designated agents of the Secured Party is hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney for each Debtor (without requiring any of them to act as such) with full power of substitution to do the following (such power to be deemed coupled with an interest): (a) after an Event of Default (as defined below), endorse the name of such Debtor upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders and other instruments for the payment of monies that are payable to such Debtor and constitute collections on the Collateral, (b) at any time, execute in the name of such Debtor and/or file any financing statements, schedules, assignments, instruments, documents and statements that such Debtor is obligated to give the Secured Party hereunder or is necessary to perfect the Secured Party’s security interest in or lien upon the Collateral, (c) at any time, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to the Collateral by mail, telephone, telecopy or otherwise, provided that, if an Event of Default has not occurred, the Secured Party shall give prior notice thereof describing the manner in which such verification shall be conducted, and (d) after an Event of Default, do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of such Debtor that the Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to enforce or protect the Secured Party’s interest in any Collateral.

Each Debtor agrees that it will take any and all reasonable steps that the Secured Party requests in order for Secured Party to obtain control of any Collateral in accordance with Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to any of such Debtor’s securities accounts and deposit accounts, electronic chattel paper, investment property, and letter-of-credit rights.  No arrangement contemplated hereby or by any control agreement in respect of any deposit accounts or securities accounts or other investment property shall be modified by such Debtor without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may notify any bank or securities intermediary to liquidate the applicable deposit account or securities account or any related investment property maintained or held thereby up to the amount of the Obligations and remit the proceeds thereof to the Secured Party to be applied as payment of Obligations payable under this Security Agreement.

6.           Sale, Lease, or Disposition of Collateral.  Each Debtor will not, other than in the ordinary course of business, sell, contract to sell, lease, encumber (including, without limitation, granting a security interest in all or any portion of the Collateral to any third party other than the Secured Party), or dispose of the Collateral or any interest in it without the written consent of the Secured Party until this Security Agreement and all of the Obligations have been fully satisfied and indefeasibly paid in full.

8.           Reimbursement of Expenses.

In addition, the Secured Party may pay for the preservation of the Collateral.  All sums expended by the Secured Party under this paragraph, including but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, court costs, agent’s fees, or commissions, or any other cost or expenses, shall be deemed and be included in the Obligations and will bear interest from the date of payment at same rate as the Note and will be payable at the time and place designated in the Note, and will be secured by this Security Agreement.

9.             Payment; Guaranty.

a.           The Borrower will pay the Note secured by this Security Agreement and any renewal or extensions thereof in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note.  The Borrower also will repay immediately all sums expended by the Secured Party in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

b.           Growlife and Phototron hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranty (a) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Note, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Note, if any, if lawful, and the due and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Borrower to the Secured Party all in accordance with the terms of the Note and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of the Note or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

10.           Change of Place of Business.  Each Debtor will promptly notify the Secured Party of any change of such Debtor’s chief place of business, the location of the Collateral or the place where records concerning the Collateral are kept.

11.           Leases.  Each Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party, at such Debtor’s expense, copies of all leases for each leased premises on which such Debtor operates.

12.           Insurance.  Each Debtor shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance on the Collateral against fire, flood, casualty and such other hazards in such amounts, with such deductibles and with such insurers as are customarily used by companies operating in the same industry as such Debtor.  If and when the Secured Party requests such in writing, each Debtor shall furnish the Secured Party with evidence of insurance as the Secured Party may reasonably require.  In the event a Debtor fails to procure or cause to be procured any such insurance or to timely pay or cause to be paid the premium(s) on any such insurance, the Secured Party may do so for such Debtor, but such Debtor shall continue to be liable for the same.  The policies of all such casualty insurance shall contain standard Loss Payable Clauses issued in favor of the Secured Party under which all losses thereunder shall be paid to the Secured Party as the Secured Party’s interest may appear.  Such policies shall expressly provide that the requisite insurance cannot be altered or canceled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Secured Party and shall insure the Secured Party notwithstanding the act or neglect of a Debtor.  Each Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party as such Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, exercisable at the Secured Party’s option to endorse any check which may be payable to such Debtor in order to collect the proceeds of such insurance and any amount or amounts collected by the Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph may be applied by the Secured Party to the Obligations.  Each Debtor also agrees to notify the Secured Party, promptly, upon such Debtor’s receipt of a notice of termination, cancellation, or non-renewal from its insurance company of any such policy.  Each Debtor shall maintain, and shall deliver to the Secured Party upon request evidence of public liability, products liability and business interruption insurance in such amounts as are customary for companies in the same or similar businesses located in the same or similar area.

13.           Financial Records.  Each Debtor shall keep current and accurate books of records and accounts in which full and correct entries will be made of all of its business transactions, and will reflect in its financial statements adequate accruals and appropriations to reserves, all in accordance with GAAP.  Each Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party (all to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party) such data, reports, statements and information, financial or otherwise, as the Secured Party may reasonably request.

14.           Existence and Rights.  Each Debtor shall do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and affect its existence, good standing and rights.

15.            Inspection.  Each Debtor will permit any of the Secured Party’s officers or other designated agents to visit and inspect any of such Debtor’s facilities, or any other facility where any Collateral is kept, during regular business hours, to examine and audit all of such Debtor’s books of account, records, reports and other papers, to make copies and extracts therefrom and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, employees and independent certified public accountants and attorneys.  Each Debtor shall pay to the Secured Party all reasonable fees based on standard rates for such inspections.

16.           Time of Performance and Waiver.  In performing any act under any Security Document, time is of the essence.  The Secured Party’s acceptance of partial or delinquent payments, or the failure of the Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy, will not constitute a waiver of any obligation of any Debtor or right of the Secured Party and will not constitute a waiver of any other similar default that occurs later.

17.           Material Adverse Developments.  Each Debtor agrees that immediately upon becoming aware of any development or other information which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition or property, or its ability to perform under this Security Agreement, it shall give to the Secured Party telephonic or facsimile notice specifying the nature of such development or information and such anticipated effect.

18.           Default:  Each Debtor will be in default under this Security Agreement on the occurrence of any of the following events or conditions (each, an “Event of Default”):

a.

b.           If any warranty, representation or other statement by or on behalf of a Debtor contained in or pursuant to this Security Agreement, or in any document, agreement or instrument furnished in compliance with, relating to, or in reference to this Security Agreement, is false, erroneous, or misleading in any material respect when made;

 

  

5

  

c.           Any material portion of a Debtor’s assets is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or (unless permitted by the terms of this Security Agreement) comes into the possession of any third person and the same is not lifted or discharged before the earlier of thirty (30) days after the date it first arises or five (5) days prior to the date on which such property or asset is subject to forfeiture by such Debtor;

d.           If a notice of lien, levy or attachment is filed or issued by the United States or any department or instrumentality thereof or by any state, county, municipality or other governmental agency against all or any portion of the Collateral or a material portion of a Debtor’s property, which levy, lien or attachment (i) would be entitled to priority over the Secured Party’s lien on the Collateral and (ii) is not lifted or discharged within the earlier of thirty (30) days of issuance or five (5) days prior to the exercise of remedies with respect to any such levy, assessment or attachment;

e.           If the obligations of a Debtor under this Security Agreement or under any other Security Document is limited or terminated by operation of law or by such Debtor;

g.           If any provision of any Security Document shall at any time for any reason be declared to be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by a Debtor or any other person, or a proceeding shall be commenced by such Debtor or any other person, or by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over such Debtor, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or such Debtor shall deny that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Security Document;

h.           If any Debtor ceases its business operations; or

i.            Dissolution, termination of existence, insolvency, appointment of a receiver for any part of the Collateral, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law by or against any Debtor.

19.           Cure.   Nothing contained in this Security Agreement or any of the other Security Documents shall be deemed to compel the Secured Party to accept a cure of any Event of Default hereunder, if such cure occurs after the Secured Party’s acceleration of the Obligations.

 

  

6

  

20.           Remedies.  On the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any later time, the Secured Party may declare all Obligations due and payable immediately and may proceed to enforce payment and exercise any and all of the rights and remedies provided by the California Uniform Commercial Code as well as other rights and remedies either at law or in equity possessed by the Secured Party.  The Secured Party may require each Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at any place to be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to the Secured Party and such Debtor.  Unless the Collateral is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party will give each Debtor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended deposition of the Collateral is to be made.  The requirements of reasonable notice will be met if the notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to the address of the Debtor set forth below at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition.  Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, or the like will include the Secured Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, and all will be included as part of the Obligations and will be secured by this Security Agreement.  All rights and remedies granted to the Secured Party hereunder and under the Security Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity, shall be deemed concurrent and cumulative, and not alternative remedies, and the Secured Party may proceed with any number of remedies at the same time until all Obligations are indefeasibly satisfied in full.  The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy, and Secured Party, upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, may proceed against any Debtor, at any time, under any agreement, with any available remedy and in any order.

21.           Intellectual Property.  In addition to, and without limiting in any way the granting of the liens hereunder, upon the Event of Default, each Debtor hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Secured Party a nonexclusive license and right to use all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents or technical processes owned or used by such Debtor that relate to the Collateral, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable the Secured Party to realize on the Collateral and to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral.  This right shall inure to the benefit of all successors, transferees and assigns of the Secured Party and their successors, transferees and assigns, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, transfer, assignment, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.  Such license and right shall be granted free of charge without the requirement that any payment of any kind or nature whatsoever be made to the Debtor.

22.           Termination of Security Interest.  The security interest granted herein shall terminate, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Debtor, upon the payment in full, or other satisfaction to which the Secured Party agrees, of all Obligations.  Upon such termination Secured Party hereby authorizes each Debtor to file any UCC termination statements necessary to effect such termination and Secured Party shall, at such Debtor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Debtor any additional documents or instruments as such Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

23.           Governing Law.  This Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the validity and perfection or the perfection and the effect of perfection or non-perfection of the security interest created hereby, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the state of California.  Each Debtor hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Los Angeles County, California in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement, (ii) waives any defense based on doctrines of venue or forum non conveniens, or similar rules or doctrines, and (iii) irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such an action or proceeding may be heard and determined in state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.  Each Debtor and the Secured Party waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement.

25.           Validity and Construction.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of that provision will not affect any other provision of this Security Agreement, and this Security Agreement will be construed as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained in it.

26.           Sole Agreement.  The Security Documents constitute the only agreement of the parties with respect to securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, and supersede any prior understandings or written or oral agreements between the parties, respecting the subject matter thereof.

27.           Integrated Agreement.  The Security Documents shall be construed as integrated and complementary of each other, and as augmenting and not restricting the Secured Party’s rights and remedies.

28.           Commercial Code Definitions Applicable.  All terms used in this Security Agreement that are defined in the California Uniform Commercial Code will have the same meaning in this Security Agreement as in the California Uniform Commercial Code.

29.           Marshaling.  The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, such Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

30.           Notices.  All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex, electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.
