(c) All payments, including immediately available funds received by the Agent at a bank account designated by it, will be the Agent's sole property for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and will be credited to the Loan Account (conditional upon final collection) after allowing one (1) Business Day for collection of such payments (excluding payments consisting of immediately available funds which shall be credited to the Loan Account immediately upon receipt); provided, however, that such payments shall be deemed to be credited to the Loan Account immediately upon receipt for purposes of (i) determining Availability, (ii) calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement and (iii) calculating the amount of interest accrued thereon solely for purposes of determining the amount of interest to be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders (but not the amount of interest payable by the Borrower Grantors). (d) In the event that the Borrower Grantors repay all of the Obligations upon the termination of the Credit Agreement or upon acceleration of the Obligations, other than through the Agent's receipt of payments on account of the Accounts or proceeds of the other Collateral, such payment will be credited to the appropriate Borrower Grantor's Loan Account upon the Agent's receipt of immediately available funds. 12. INVENTORY; PERPETUAL INVENTORY. (a) Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders that all of the Inventory owned by such Grantor is and will be held for sale or lease, or to be furnished in connection with the rendition of services, in the ordinary course of such Grantor's business. Each Grantor will keep its Inventory in good and marketable condition, except for damaged or defective goods arising in the ordinary course of such Grantor's business. Each Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, 12 acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval unless such Inventory is segregated from such Grantor's other owned Inventory and is marked in a manner designating the true owner thereof. Each Grantor agrees that all Inventory produced by such Grantor in the United States of America will be produced in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations, and orders thereunder. Each Grantor will conduct a physical count of the Inventory at least once per Fiscal Year, and after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at such other times as the Agent requests. Each Grantor will maintain a perpetual inventory reporting system at all times. Each Grantor will not, without the Agent's written consent, sell any Inventory on a bill-and-hold, guaranteed sale, sale and return, sale on approval, consignment, or other repurchase or return basis except that Grantors may sell non-Eligible Inventory on a consignment basis in the ordinary course of their business to the extent the amount of such Inventory does not exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate for all Grantors. (b) In connection with all Inventory financed by Letters of Credit, each Grantor will, at the Agent's request, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, Documents or Instruments in which the Agent holds a security interest to deliver them to the Agent and/or subject to the Agent's order, and if they shall come into such Grantor's possession, to deliver them, upon request, to the Agent in their original form. Each Grantor shall also, at the Agent's request, designate the Agent as the consignee on all bills of lading and other negotiable and non-negotiable documents. 13. EQUIPMENT. (a) Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders that all of the Equipment owned by such Grantor is and will be used or held for use in such Grantor's business. Each Grantor shall keep and maintain its Equipment necessary for the conduct of its business in operating condition and repair sufficient for the conduct of its business (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and shall make all necessary replacements thereof. (b) Each Grantor shall promptly inform the Agent of any material deletions from the Equipment. Each Grantor shall not permit any Equipment to become a fixture with respect to real property or to become an accession with respect to other personal property with respect to which real or personal property the Agent does not have a Lien. Each Grantor will not, without the Agent's prior written consent, alter or remove any identifying symbol or number on any of such Grantor's Equipment constituting Collateral. (c) Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall not, without the Agent's prior written consent, sell, license, lease as a lessor, or otherwise dispose of any of such Grantor's Equipment. 14. DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, AND CHATTEL PAPER. Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that (a) all Documents, Instruments, and Chattel Paper describing, evidencing, or constituting Collateral, and all signatures and endorsements thereon, are and will be complete, valid, and genuine, and (b) all goods evidenced 13 by such Documents, Instruments, Letter of Credit Rights and Chattel Paper are and will be owned by such Grantor, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, Liens securing Capital Leases and purchase money Liens on Collateral (other than Inventory) securing purchase money Debt permitted by Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement. If a Grantor retains possession of any Chattel Paper or Instruments with Agent's consent, such Chattel Paper and Instruments shall be marked with the following legend: "This writing and the obligations evidenced or served hereby are subject to the security interest of Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and certain Lenders." 15. RIGHT TO CURE. The Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, pay any amount or do any act required of a Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document in order to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce the Obligations, the Collateral or the Agent's Liens therein, and which such Grantor fails to pay or do, including payment of any judgment against such Grantor, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord's or bailee's claim, and any other Lien upon or with respect to the Collateral. All payments that the Agent makes under this Section 15 and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall be charged to the Loan Account of the Borrowers as a Revolving Loan. Any payment made or other action taken by the Agent under this Section 15 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein provided. 16. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent and the Agent's designee as such Grantor's attorney, with power at any time that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (except as noted below): (a) to endorse such Grantor's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, or other forms of payment or security that come into the Agent's or any Lender's possession; (b) to sign such Grantor's name on any invoice, bill of lading, warehouse receipt or other negotiable or non-negotiable Document constituting Collateral, on drafts against customers, on public records and on assignments of Accounts, (c) regardless of whether any Event of Default shall then exist, to sign such Grantor's name on any on notices of assignment, and financing statements and to file any such financing statements by electronic means with or without a signature as authorized or required by applicable law or filing procedure; (d) to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Grantor's mail to an address designated by the Agent and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor; (e) regardless of whether any Event of Default shall then exist to send requests for verification of Accounts to customers or Account Debtors; (f) to complete in such Grantor's name or the Agent's name, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary Documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof; (g) to clear Inventory through customs in such Grantor's name, the Agent's name or the name of the Agent's designee, and to sign and deliver to customs officials powers of attorney in such Grantor's name for such purpose; (h) to the extent that such Grantor's authorization given in Section 3(g) of this Security Agreement is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect to this Security Agreement, with or without such Grantor's signature, or to file a photocopy of this Security Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in such Grantor's name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require such Grantor's signature; and (i) to do all things necessary to exercise the Agent's rights and remedies under the Credit 14 Agreement or this Security Agreement. Each Grantor ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney. None of the Lenders or the Agent nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Credit Agreement has been terminated and the Obligations have been fully satisfied. 17. THE AGENT'S AND LENDERS' RIGHTS, DUTIES AND LIABILITIES. (a) Each Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, license or other disposition of such Grantor's Collateral. The Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of the Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect the Agent's Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of the Obligations. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to or consent from any Grantor, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of any Grantor for the Obligations or under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement now or hereafter existing between the Agent and/or any Lender and the Grantors. (b) It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall remain liable under each of its contracts and each of its licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any contract or license by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by the Agent or any Lender of any payment relating to any contract or license pursuant hereto. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Grantors under or pursuant to any contract or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any contract or license, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. (c) The Agent may at any time after a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and be continuing (or if any rights of set-off (other than set-offs against an Account arising under the contract giving rise to the same Account) or contra accounts may be asserted with respect to the following), without prior notice to the Grantors, notify Account Debtors, and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that the Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to the Agent, for itself and the benefit of the Lenders. Upon the request of the Agent, each Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral. Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person 15 obligated on the Collateral, each Grantor shall not give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without the Agent's prior written consent. (d) The Agent may at any time in the Agent's own name or in the name of any Grantor communicate with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to the Agent's satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of Accounts, payment intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper. If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor, at its own expense, shall cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by such Grantor to prepare and deliver to the Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time promptly upon the Agent's request the following reports with respect to such Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts as the Agent may request. Upon the Agent's request, each Grantor, at its own expense, shall deliver to the Agent the results of each physical verification, if any, which such Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory. 18. PATENT, TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT COLLATERAL. (a) The Grantors do not have any interest in, or title to, any U.S. Patent, U.S. registered Trademark or U.S. registered Copyright except as set forth in Schedule III hereto. This Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on and, upon filing of the Copyright Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office and filing of the Patent and Trademark Agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and filing of appropriate financing statements, perfected Liens in favor of the Agent on each Grantor's U.S. patents, U.S. registered trademarks and U.S. registered copyrights and such perfected Liens are enforceable against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, or by general equitable principles. Upon filing of the Copyright Security Agreements with the United States Copyright Office and filing of the Patent and Trademark Agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the filing of appropriate financing statements, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the Agent's Lien on each Grantor's U.S. patents, U.S. registered trademarks or U.S. registered copyrights shall have been duly taken. (b) Each Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent if it knows that any application or registration relating to any material patent, trademark or copyright (now or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any material 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 such Grantor's ownership of any material patent, trademark or copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same. (c) In no event shall a Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any U.S. patent, U.S. registered trademark or U.S. registered copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving the Agent prompt 16 written notice thereof, and, upon request of the Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all Patent Security Agreements, Copyright Security Agreements or Trademark Security Agreements as the Agent may request to evidence the Agent's Lien on such U.S. patent, U.S. registered trademark or U.S. registered copyright, and the General Intangibles of Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby. (d) Each Grantor shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the U.S. patents, U.S. registered trademarks and U.S. registered 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, unless such Grantor shall determine that such patent, trademark or copyright is not material to the conduct of its business. (e) In the event that any of the U.S. patent, U.S. registered trademark or U.S. registered copyright Collateral relating to the manufacture, processing, production, sale or disposition of any Inventory or any of the other material patent, trademark or copyright Collateral (in each case, whether now or hereafter existing) is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, the appropriate Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly after such Grantor learns thereof. Such Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is in no way material to the conduct of its business or operations, unless otherwise consented to by the Agent in writing, promptly sue 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 the Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral. 19. INDEMNIFICATION. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Agent or any 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 the Agent and the Lenders 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 such Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from such Grantor, except in the case of the Agent or any Lender, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable primarily to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender. All such obligations of the Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and only against the Grantors and shall not be enforceable against the Agent or any Lender. 20. LIMITATION ON LIENS ON COLLATERAL. The Grantors will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Liens permitted by Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement, and will defend the right, title and interest of the Agent and the Lenders in and to any of the Grantors' rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. 17 21. NOTICE REGARDING COLLATERAL. Each Grantor will advise the Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien (other than Liens permitted by Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement) or claim (to the extent such claim is in excess of $100,000) made or asserted against any of such Grantor's Collateral, and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event which would have a Material Adverse Effect. 22. REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT. (a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event the Agent, 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 UCC 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 the Agent'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 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. The Agent or any 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 of the Agent and the 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. The Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Grantor's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use each Grantor's premises without charge for such time or times as the Agent deems necessary or advisable. (b) Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent's request during the existence of an Event of Default, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place or places designated by the Agent which are reasonably convenient to the Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use the Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent. The Agent shall have no obligation to the Grantors to maintain or preserve the rights of the Grantors as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of the Agent. The Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of the Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent's remedies (for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, 18 appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantors. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise primarily out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Grantors agree that ten (10) days prior notice by the Agent 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. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency. (c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Grantors hereby waive 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. (d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) 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, (c) 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, (d) 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, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) 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, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 22(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 22(d). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 22(d) 19 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantors or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 22(d). 23. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. For the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 22 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 22 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) during the existence of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor but with such quality controls as are necessary to avoid abandonment of any trademark) to use, license or sublicense any Proprietary Rights 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. 24. LIMITATION ON AGENT'S AND LENDERS' DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL. The Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control and shall account for money actually received by it. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall 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 the Agent or such Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. 25. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) 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 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 Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "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 Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. (b) 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 Credit Agreement, the Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable. 20 (c) 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 Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of the Agent, the Lenders and the Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein. (d) NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall 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 Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Agent or any 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 the Agent and the Grantors. (e) 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. (f) TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. Subject to Section 26(a) hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the satisfactory collateralization of all Letters of Credit and the payment in full of all other Obligations (other than indemnification Obligations as to which no claim has been asserted). (g) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of any Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the 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 Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, hereunder. The Grantors may not 21 assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement. (h) COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement. This Security Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by the Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid. (i) GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS PROVIDED THAT PERFECTION ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO ARTICLE 9 OF THE UCC MAY GIVE EFFECT TO APPLICABLE CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW RULES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 9 OF THE UCC) OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW. (j) JURISDICTION. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE GRANTORS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE GRANTORS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING: (1) THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY GRANTOR OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS AND (2) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.
