(C)           The security interests granted pursuant to this Section 1 (the “Security Interests”) are granted as security only and shall not subject the Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of the Debtor under any of the Collateral or any transaction which gave rise thereto.

Section 11.  Events of Default.  The Debtor shall be in default under this Security Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events (herein referred to as an “Event of Default”):
 
(a)           default by the Debtor in the due observance or performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or breach by the Debtor of any representation or warranty herein contained (which has not been cured within ten (10) Business Days after Lender delivering written notice of the same);
 
(b)           any default in the payment when due of the principal of, or interest on, or any sum in respect of, any Obligation of the Debtor to the Secured Party, including, without limitation, indebtedness evidenced by or incurred pursuant to the Note (after the giving of any required notice and/or the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period); or
 
(c)           the occurrence of any Event of Default under the provisions of the Pledge Agreement, the Guaranty, the Loan Documents or any agreement now or hereafter evidencing or securing any of the Obligations (after the giving of any required notice and/or the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period).
 
Section 12.  Remedies Upon Event of Default.
 
(a)           If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights and remedies are exercised) and, in addition, the Secured Party may, without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, (i) apply the cash, if any, then held by it as Collateral, and (ii) if there shall be no such cash or if such cash shall be insufficient to pay all the Obligations in full, sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Secured Party may deem satisfactory.  The Secured Party may require the Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by the Secured Party which is reasonably convenient.  Any holder of an Obligation may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same, absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind.  The Secured Party is authorized, at any such sale, if it deems it advisable so to do, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of any of the Pledged Securities to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any of such Pledged Securities.  Upon any such sale the Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of the Debtor.  The Secured Party shall give the Debtor ten (10) days prior written notice of the Secured Party’s intention to make any such public or private sale or sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange.  Such notice, in case of a public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale, and in case of sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or the portion thereof so being sold, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale.  At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Secured Party may determine.  The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make such sale pursuant to any such notice.  The Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned.  In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice.

(b)           The Secured Party, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.
 
Section 13.  Application of Collateral and Proceeds.  The proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in the following order of priorities: (a) first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other realization, and all reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Secured Party in connection therewith, and any other unreimbursed expenses for which the Secured Party is to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 14; (b) second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, shall determine; and (c) finally, to pay to the Debtor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
 
Section 14.  Expenses:  Secured Party Lien.  The Debtor will forthwith upon demand pay to the Secured Party: (a) the amount of any taxes which the Secured Party may have been required to pay by reason of the Security Interests (including any applicable transfer taxes) or to free any of the Collateral from any lien thereon, and (b) the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their counsel and of any agents not regularly in the Secured Party’s employ, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (w) the preparation and administration of this Security Agreement, (x) the collection, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral, (y) the exercise by the Secured Party of any of the powers conferred upon it hereunder or (z) any default on the Debtor’s part hereunder.
 
Section 15.  Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral.  Upon the repayment in full of all the Obligations, the Security Interests shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Debtor.  Upon any such termination of the Security Interests or release of Collateral, the Secured Party will, at the Debtor’s expense to the extent permitted by law, execute and deliver to the Debtor such documents as the Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interests or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

Section 16.  Notices.  All notices, communications and distributions hereunder shall be given or made to the parties at their respective addresses set forth on the last page hereof, or at such other address as the addressee may hereafter specify for the purpose by written notice to the other party hereto.
 
Section 17.  Miscellaneous.  (a) No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or remedy under this Security Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Secured Party of any right, power or remedy under this Security Agreement preclude any other right, power or remedy.  The remedies in this Security Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.  Neither this Security Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by a statement in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
 
(b)           This Security Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except (i) to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code provides for the application of the law of another state with respect to perfection of the Security Interests, (ii) as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of law, and (iii) to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any State other than Massachusetts are governed by the laws of said State.  Unless otherwise defined herein, or unless the context otherwise requires, all terms used herein which are defined in the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code have the meanings therein stated.  Other terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Note.
 
(c)           This Security Agreement is intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions evidenced by this Security Agreement.  All prior or contemporaneous promises, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, are deemed to be superseded by this Security Agreement, and no party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding not set forth in this Security Agreement.  This Security Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument describing such amendment or modification executed by the parties hereto.
 
(d)           Debtor hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts from which an appeal may be taken or other review sought from the aforesaid courts, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of any of Debtor’s Obligations under or with respect to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and expressly waives any and all objections it may have as to venue in any of such courts.

(e)           DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF SECURED PARTY RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOANS OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.  EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH OF DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES.  DEBTOR CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF SECURED PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SECURED PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER.  THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SECURED PARTY TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE AND MAKE THE LOANS AND CONSIGNMENTS.
 
(f)           Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party, a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for the Obligations, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Secured Party or any entity under the control of Secured Party and its successors and assigns, or in transit to any of them.  At any time, during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice (any such notice being expressly waived by Debtor), Secured Party may setoff the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Debtor even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing this Note.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE SECURED PARTY TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF DEBTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
 
Section 18.  Separability.  If any provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Secured Party.  The Secured Party may in its sole discretion enforce rights and remedies granted to the Secured Party by this Security Agreement or by applicable law.

Section 19.  Intercreditor Agreement.  The rights of the Debtor hereunder are subject to an Intercreditor Agreement of even date (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) among the Debtor, the Secured Party and the Senior Secured Party.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the Debtor shall not be required to deliver or grant control of any Collateral to the Secured Party hereunder, prior to the payment in full of the Senior Note (as defined in the Note), if the Debtor is also required to deliver or grant control of such Collateral to the Senior Secured Party or any successor thereto or assignee thereof and the Senior Secured Party and any such successor thereto or assignee thereof has agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to hold the Collateral for the benefit of the Lender, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
