and Agreements of the Company. The Company represents and
warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Secured Parties as
follows:
(a) The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations
thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company
of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company
and no further action is required by the Company. This Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditor’s rights generally.
(b) The Company
represents and warrants that it has no place of business or offices
where its respective books of account and records are kept (other
than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or
places where Collateral is stored or located other than the
Company’s main facility identified in Section 14 of this
Agreement;
(c) The
Company is the sole owner of the Collateral (except for
non-exclusive licenses granted by the Company in the ordinary
course of business), free and clear of any liens, security
interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and is fully authorized
to grant the Security Interest in and to pledge the Collateral.
Except for the prior security interest granted in connection with
the Original Security Agreement, there is not on file in any
governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an
effective financing statement, security agreement, license or
transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those
that have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this
Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. So long as
this Agreement shall be in effect, the Company shall not execute
and shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or
agency any such financing statement or other document or instrument
that is senior to the Security Interest granted under this
Agreement.
(d) No
part of the Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable. No
written claim has been received that any Collateral or the
Company’s use of any Collateral violates the rights of any
third party. There has been no adverse decision to the
Company’s claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to
use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to the Company’s
right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and
effect, and there is no proceeding involving said rights pending
or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened before any
court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency,
arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e) The
Company shall at all times maintain its books of account and
records relating to the Collateral at its principal place of
business and its Collateral at the locations set forth in Section
14 and may not relocate such books of account and records or
tangible Collateral unless it delivers to the Collateral Agent at
least thirty (30) days prior to such relocation (i) written notice
of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be
within the United States) and (ii) evidence that appropriate
financing statements and other necessary documents have been filed
and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the
Security Interest to create in favor of the Secured Parties valid,
perfected and continuing first priority liens in the
Collateral.
(f) This
Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Parties a valid security
interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of
the Obligations and, upon making the filings described in the
immediately following sentence, a perfected security interest in
such Collateral. Except for the filing of financing statements on
Form-1 under the UCC, no authorization or approval of or filing
with or notice to any governmental authority or regulatory body is
required either (i) for the grant by the Company of, or the
effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby or for the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Company or (ii) for the perfection of or exercise by the Collateral
Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder.
(g) Promptly
upon execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to the
Collateral Agent one or more executed UCC financing statements on
Form UCC-1 in the jurisdiction of California.
(h) The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement does not conflict with
or cause a breach or default, or an event that with or without the
passage of time or notice, shall constitute a breach or default,
under any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which the
Company is bound. No consent (including, without limitation, from
stock holders or creditors of the Company) is required for the
Company to enter into and perform its obligations
hereunder.
(i) The
Company shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest
provided for hereunder as valid and perfected liens and security
interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Parties until
this Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder shall terminate
pursuant to Section 12. The Company hereby agrees to defend the
same against any and all persons. The Company shall safeguard and
protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured Parties. At
the request of the Collateral Agent, the Company will sign and
deliver to the Collateral Agent at any time or from time to time
one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC (or any other
applicable statute) in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent and will pay the cost of filing the same in all
public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Collateral
Agent to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and
obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Company shall pay all fees, taxes and other
amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security
Interest hereunder, and the Company shall obtain and furnish to the
Collateral Agent from time to time, upon demand, such releases
and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to
maintain the priority of the Security Interest
hereunder.
(j) The
Company will not transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license
(except for any Collateral disposed of in the ordinary course of
business), sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral
without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent.
(k) The
Company shall keep and preserve its Equipment, Inventory and other
tangible Collateral in good condition, repair and order and shall

Company shall, within twenty (20) days of obtaining knowledge
thereof, advise the Collateral Agent promptly, in sufficient

on the value of the Collateral or on the Secured Parties’
security interest therein.
(m) The
Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent
such further deeds, mortgages, assignments, security agreements,
financing statements or other instruments, documents, certificates
and assurances and take such further action as the Collateral Agent
may from time to time request and may in its sole discretion deem
necessary to perfect, protect or enforce its security interest in
the Collateral.
(n) The
Company shall permit the Collateral Agent and its representatives
and agents to inspect the Collateral at any time and to make copies
of records pertaining to the Collateral as may be requested by the
Collateral Agent from time to time.
(o) The
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to diligently
pursue and seek to preserve, enforce and collect any rights,
claims, causes of action and accounts receivable in respect of the
Collateral.
(p) The Company shall
promptly notify the Collateral Agent in sufficient detail upon
becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other
legal process levied against any Collateral and of any other
information received by the Company that may materially affect the
value of the Collateral, the Security Interest or the rights and
remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder.

incurred by the Collateral Agent and/or the Secured Parties in
enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with collecting,

amount of the Note and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate.

Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Parties and all
Obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, the Note or any agreement entered
into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or
thereof;(b) any change in the
time, manner or place of payment or performance 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 the Notes or any
other agreement entered into in connection with the
foregoing;(c) any exchange,
release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release
or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other
collateral for, or any guaranty, or any other security, for all or
any of the Obligations;(d)
any action by the Secured Parties to obtain, adjust, settle and
cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made
or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to
the Company, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security
Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid
and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Parties shall
continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason,
including, without limitation, the running of the statute of
limitations or bankruptcy. The Company expressly waives
presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of
nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any
time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the
Secured Parties hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court
of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or
fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of
the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any
party other than the Secured Parties, then, in any such event, the
Company’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of
this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any
prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but
shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Company waives
all right to require the Secured Parties to proceed against any
other person or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Parties
may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other
remedy. The Company waives any defense arising by reason of the
application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured
hereby.
12. Term
of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall
terminate on the date on which all payments under the Notes have
been made in full and all other Obligations have been paid or
discharged. Upon such termination, the Secured Parties, at the
request and at the expense of the Company, will join in executing
any termination statement with respect to any financing statement
executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement.

Company authorizes the Collateral Agent, and does hereby make,
constitute and appoint it, and its respective officers, agents,

the Original Security Agreement, hereby consents to the amendment
and restatement of the Original Security Agreement pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and the amendment or amendment and
restatement of the other Loan Documents (as that term is defined in
the Credit Facility Agreement). Upon the execution by all parties
to this Agreement, the Original Security Agreement shall be amended
and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the Original
Security Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and
effect and shall be deemed replaced and superseded in all respects
by this Agreement.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a) No course of
dealing between the Company and the Secured Parties, nor any
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
the Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder or
under the Notes shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
(b) All
of the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to
the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Note or by any
other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singly or
concurrently.
(c) This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and is intended to supersede
all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements with respect
thereto. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended except by a
written agreement specifically referring to this Agreement and
signed by the parties hereto.
(d) In
the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any
reason, unless such provision is narrowed by judicial construction,
this Agreement shall, as to such jurisdiction, be construed as if
such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been more
narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of
this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portion of such
provision or the other provisions of this Agreement and without
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or the
other provisions of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.
(e) No waiver of any
breach or default or any right under this Agreement shall be
considered valid unless in writing and signed by the party giving
such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default or right, whether of the same or
similar nature or otherwise.
(f) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
party hereto and its successors and assigns.
(g) Each
party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such
further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
carry out the provisions and purposes of this
Agreement.
(h) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
California, except to the extent the validity, perfection or
enforcement of a security interest hereunder in respect of any
particular Collateral which are governed by a jurisdiction other
than the California in which case such law shall govern. Each of
the parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of any state or federal court sitting in Los Angeles County,
California over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree
that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be
heard and determined in such state or federal court. The parties
hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The
parties hereto further waive any objection to venue in the State of
California and any objection to an action or proceeding in the
State of California on the basis of forum non
conveniens.
(i) THE
COMPANY AND THE SECURED PARTIES (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY
VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE
SECURED PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. THIS
PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT. To the extent the foregoing waiver of a jury trial
is held to be unenforceable under applicable California law, the
parties hereby agree to refer, for a complete and final
adjudication, any and all issues of fact or law involved in any
litigation or proceeding (including but not limited to all
discovery and law and motion matters, pretrial motions, trial
matters and post-trial motions), brought to resolve any dispute
between the parties hereto (whether based on contract, tort or
otherwise) arising out of or otherwise related to this Agreement to
a judicial referee who shall be appointed under a general reference
pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, which
referee’s decision will stand as the decision of the court.
Such judgment will be entered on the referee’s statement of
judgment in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the
court. The parties shall select a single neutral referee, who shall
be a retired state or federal judge with at least five years of
judicial experience in civil matters; provided that in the event
the parties cannot agree upon a referee, the referee will be
appointed by the court.
(j) This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as
if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
(k) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, a party may become a
“Secured Party” under this Agreement by executing and
delivering an additional counterpart signature page to this
Agreement and thereafter shall be deemed an “Secured
Party” for all purposes hereunder.
