The Debtor will not make or agree to make any discount, credit, rebate or other reduction in the original amount owing on a Receivable or accept in satisfaction of a Receivable less than the original amount thereof, except that, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Debtor may reduce the amount of Accounts arising from the sale of Inventory in accordance with its present policies and in the ordinary course of business.

(b)                Collection of Receivables. Except as otherwise provided in this Security Agreement, the Debtor will collect and enforce, at the Debtor’s sole expense, all amounts due or hereafter due to the Debtor under the Receivables, including by taking any action with respect to such collection that Secured Party may reasonably request.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Debtor will promptly notify (and the Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party so to notify) each Account Debtor in respect of any Receivable that such Collateral has been collaterally assigned to Secured Party, and that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral are to be made directly to Secured Party or its designee.

The Debtor will do all things necessary to maintain, preserve, protect and keep the Inventory and the Equipment in good repair and working and saleable condition, except for damaged or defective goods arising in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s business and except for ordinary wear and tear in respect of the Equipment. The Debtor shall not permit any Inventory or Equipment in any material respect to be wasted, destroyed or used in violation of law.

(b)                Returned Inventory.

The Debtor shall promptly report to the Secured Party any return involving an amount in excess of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000). Each such report shall indicate the reasons for the returns and the locations and condition of the returned Inventory. In the event any Account Debtor returns Inventory to the Debtor when an Event of Default exists, the Debtor, upon the request of the Secured Party, shall: (i) hold the returned Inventory in trust for the Secured Party; (ii) segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other property; (iii) dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to the Secured Party’s written instructions; and (iv) not issue any credits or allowances with respect thereto without the Secured Party’s prior written consent.

(c)                Equipment. A list of the Equipment with a value in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) that the Debtor expects to acquire in connection with the development, construction and completion of the Project is attached hereto as Exhibit K. The Debtor shall promptly inform the Secured Party of any additions to or deletions from the Equipment with a value in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). The Debtor 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 Secured Party does not have a Lien.

The Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to attach each Amendment to this Security Agreement and agrees that all additional Collateral set forth in such Amendments shall be considered to be part of the Collateral.

4.5               Uncertificated Pledged Collateral. The Debtor will permit the Secured Party from time to time to cause the appropriate issuers (and, if held with a securities intermediary, such securities intermediary) of uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates to mark their books and records with the numbers and face amounts of all such uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates and all rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect the Lien of the Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, granted pursuant to this Security Agreement and the rights of the Secured Party to foreclose, acquire, assume and obtain all economic ownership interests in the pledged membership or other equity interests in Debtor. The Debtor will take any commercially reasonable actions necessary to cause: (a) the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral, and (b) any securities intermediary which is the holder of any Pledged Collateral, to cause the Secured Party to have and retain Control over such Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, the Debtor will, with respect to Pledged Collateral held with a securities intermediary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such securities intermediary to enter into a control agreement with the Secured Party giving the Secured Party Control.

4.6               Pledged Collateral.

(a)                Changes in Capital Structure of Issuers. The Debtor will not: (i) permit or suffer any issuer of an Equity Interest constituting Pledged Collateral to dissolve, merge, liquidate, retire any of its Equity Interests or other Instruments or Securities evidencing ownership, reduce its capital, sell or encumber all or substantially all of its assets (except for Liens permitted under Section 4.1(e) and sales of assets permitted pursuant to Section 4.1(d)) or merge or consolidate with any other entity, or (ii) vote any Pledged Collateral in favor of any of the foregoing.

(b)                Issuance of Additional Securities. The Debtor will not permit or suffer the issuer of an Equity Interest constituting Pledged Collateral to issue additional Equity Interests, any right to receive the same or any right to receive earnings, except to the Debtor.

(c)                Registration of Pledged Collateral. The Debtor will permit any registerable Pledged Collateral to be registered in the name of the Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, or its nominee at any time at the option of the Secured Party.

(d)                Exercise of Rights in Pledged Collateral.

(i)                  Without in any way limiting the foregoing and subject to clause (ii) below, the Debtor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with this Security Agreement, the Indenture or any other Bond Document; provided, however, that no vote or other right shall be exercised or action taken which would have the effect of impairing the rights of the Secured Party in respect of the Pledged Collateral.

(ii)                The Debtor will permit the Secured Party or its nominee at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to the Debtor, to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Equity Interest or Investment Property constituting Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof.

(iii)              So long as no Event of Default exists, the Debtor shall be entitled to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent not in violation of the Indenture or the Loan Agreement.

4.7               Intellectual Property.

(a)                The Debtor has secured, and will secure all future, consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to the Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, of any License held by the Debtor and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder.

(b)                The Debtor shall notify the Secured Party promptly if it knows or has reason to know that any application or registration relating to any Patent, Trademark, Copyright, trade secret, or any other intellectual property (now or hereafter existing), could reasonably be expected to become abandoned, expired or otherwise dedicated to the public, or of any 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 the Debtor’s ownership of any Patent, Trademark, Copyright, trade secret, or any other intellectual property, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

(c)                In no event shall the Debtor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving the Secured Party prior written notice thereof, and the Debtor shall execute and deliver any and all security agreements as are necessary or as the Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the first priority security interest of the Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds (subject to Liens permitted under Section 4.1(e)), on such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and the General Intangibles of the Debtor relating thereto or represented thereby.

(d)                The Debtor shall take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Secured Party to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the Patents, Trademarks and 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 the Secured Party shall determine in its reasonable discretion that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright is not material to the conduct of Debtor’s business or operations. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to make such determination.

(e)                The Debtor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such Patent, Trademark, Copyright, trade secret, or any other intellectual property is not material to the conduct of its business or operations, 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 legally required or as the Secured Party shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Patent, Trademark, Copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property. In the event that the Debtor institutes suit because any of the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, trade secrets, or any other intellectual property constituting Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, the Debtor shall comply with Section 4.8.

(f)                 Without in any respect limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtor agrees that it will, at its cost and expense, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Secured Party an assignment of those registrations and recordings of and applications for Copyrights in the United States Copyright Office and those Trademarks and Patents in the United States Patent and Trademark Office which are material to the business of the Debtor and the goodwill of the business in connection with which each of such Trademarks are used and which is symbolized by such Trademarks, and appropriate for recording in the United States Copyright Office or the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as applicable, in the event Debtor determines or receives notice by reason of one or more changes in or clarifications of applicable statutes or regulations or judicial decisions occurring after the date hereof, and/or the discovery of existing legal precedent or authority not previously considered by Secured Party, that the recording of such an assignment or assignments in such offices is necessary to create, perfect or preserve a lien upon, security interest in, or collateral assignment of such Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks that is valid against subsequent purchasers, lienholders, secured parties, or assignees under the UCC and such assignment will not adversely affect the Debtor’s rights to use such Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks in its business and protect them from infringement.

4.8               Commercial Tort Claims. The Debtor shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the same is acquired by it, notify the Secured Party of any Commercial Tort Claim acquired by it and, unless the Secured Party otherwise consents (which consent shall be based upon the written direction of the Majority Holders), the Debtor shall enter into an amendment to this Security Agreement, in the form of Exhibit I – Amendment hereto, granting to Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, a first priority security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim (subject to Liens permitted under Section 4.1(e)).

4.9               Letter-of-Credit Rights. If the Debtor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit, the Debtor shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after becoming a beneficiary, notify the Secured Party thereof and, to the extent there shall exist an Event of Default, cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to: (i) consent to the assignment of any Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Secured Party, and (ii) agree to direct all payments thereunder to a Deposit Account at the Secured Party or subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement for application to the Obligations, in accordance with the Loan Agreement, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party.

4.10           Federal, State or Municipal Claims. The Debtor will promptly notify the Secured Party of any Collateral which constitutes a claim against the United States government or any state or local government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, the assignment of which claim is restricted by Federal, state or municipal law.

4.11           No Interference. The Debtor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Secured Party provided for in this Security Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.

4.12           Insurance. In the event any Collateral is located in any area that has been designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a “Special Flood Hazard Area”, the Debtor shall purchase and maintain flood insurance on such Collateral (including any personal property which is located on any real property leased by Debtor within a “Special Flood Hazard Area”). Any insurance required by this Section shall name the Secured Party as additional insured. The amount of all insurance required by this Section shall at a minimum comply with applicable law, including the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All premiums on such insurance shall be paid when due by the Debtor, and copies of the policies delivered to the Secured Party. If the Debtor fails to obtain any insurance as required by this Section, the Secured Party may obtain such insurance at the Debtor’s expense. This insurance may, but need not, protect such Debtor’s interests. The coverage that the Secured Party purchases may not pay any claim that such Debtor makes or any claim that is made against such Debtor in connection with the Collateral. Debtor may later cancel any insurance purchased by the Secured Party, but only after providing the Secured Party with evidence that such Debtor has obtained insurance as required by this Security Agreement. If the Secured Party purchases insurance for the Collateral, the Debtor will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges the Secured Party may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Debtor’s total outstanding balance or obligation. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Debtor may be able to obtain on its own. By purchasing such insurance, the Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any Event of Default arising from the Debtor’s failure to maintain such insurance or pay any premiums therefor.

4.13           Collateral Access Agreements. The Debtor shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement from the lessor of each leased property, mortgagee of owned property or bailee or consignee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location where Collateral is stored or located, which agreement or letter shall provide access rights, contain a waiver or subordination of all Liens or claims that the landlord, mortgagee, bailee or consignee may assert against the Collateral at that location.

4.14           Deposit Account Control Agreements. The Debtor will provide to the Secured Party a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly executed on behalf of each financial institution holding a deposit account of the Debtor as set forth in this Security Agreement.

4.15           Change of Name or Location; Change of Fiscal Year. The Debtor shall not: (a) change its name as it appears in official filings in the state of its incorporation or organization, (b) change its chief executive office, principal place of business, mailing address, corporate offices or warehouses or locations at which Collateral is held or stored, or the location of its records concerning the Collateral as set forth in the Security Agreement, (c) change the type of entity that it is, (d) change its organization identification number, if any, issued by its state of incorporation or other organization, or (e) change its state of incorporation or organization, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement and unless the Secured Party shall have received at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such change and unless the Debtor has taken all action necessary to maintain the perfection of the liens on the collateral created hereunder.

4.16           Assigned Contracts. Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party on or before the date hereof, a Consent and Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, for all Assigned Contracts. The Debtor shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of the Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder, in each case, as it deems appropriate in its business judgment; provided, however, that the Debtor shall not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the Assigned Contracts which would cause the termination of an Assigned Contract. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtor shall take all action necessary or appropriate to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any material adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under the Assigned Contracts. The Debtor shall notify the Secured Party in writing, promptly after the Debtor becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could reasonably be expected to give rise to a material claim by it for indemnification under any of the Assigned Contracts, and shall diligently pursue such right and report to the Secured Party on all further developments with respect thereto. If the Debtor shall fail to pursue diligently any right under the Assigned Contracts set forth on Exhibit J, or if an Event of Default then exists with respect to all Assigned Contracts, the Secured Party may directly enforce such right in its own or the Debtor’s name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as the Secured Party shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Secured Party under any Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, the Debtor shall indemnify and hold the Secured Party and its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaims, recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by the Debtor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from the Debtor to or in favor of such obligor or its successors. All such obligations of the Debtor shall be and remain enforceable only against the Debtor and shall not be enforceable against the Secured Party. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Debtor shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under the Assigned Contracts, and the Secured Party’s exercise of any of its rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release the Debtor from any of such duties and obligations. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to perform or fulfill any of the Debtor’s duties or obligations under the Assigned Contracts or to make any payment thereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment or property received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance by any party thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance, any payment of any amounts, or any delivery of any property. The Debtor agrees to additionally execute and deliver any additional assignments deemed necessary by the Secured Party to additionally confirm the assignment to the Secured Party of any Assigned Contracts. The Debtor will promptly after demand reimburse the Secured Party for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Secured Party in connection with such performance in accordance with Section 8.4 of this Security Agreement. Such payments and expenses shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE V

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

5.1               Events of Default. The following shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:

(a)                The Debtor shall have made a material representation herein, which proves to have been false and misleading as of the time such statement was made.

(b)                The failure by the Debtor to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement hereunder on its part to be observed or performed.

(c)                The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under the Indenture or the Loan Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

5.2               Remedies.

(a)                Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)                  by written or telegraphic notice to the Debtor, declare all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable;

(ii)                those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Indenture, the Loan Agreement or any other Bond Document; provided that, this Section 5.2(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Secured Party prior to an Event of Default otherwise stated herein;

(iii)              those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other Applicable Law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

(iv)               give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Deposit Account Control Agreement or other control agreement with any securities intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral;

(v)                without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein or required by Applicable Law), demand or advertisement of any kind to Debtor or any other Person, enter the premises of the Debtor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, demand, receive, give acquittance for, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, transfer, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at the Debtor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable; and

(vi)               concurrently with written notice to the Debtor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, was the outright owner thereof.

(b)                The Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c)                The Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Secured Party, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Debtor hereby expressly releases.

(d)                Until the Secured Party is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Secured Party shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, including without limitation, the payment of any royalty, maintenance or other fee related to a license or sublicense of intellectual property. The Secured Party may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Secured Party’s remedies, with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(e)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Party shall not be required to: (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Debtor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(f)                 The Debtor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. The Debtor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Debtor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Debtor and such issuer would agree to do so.

(g)                Upon any sale of Collateral permitted hereunder, 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 to it absolutely and free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, stay or appraisal which the Debtor has or may have under any Law now existing or hereafter adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale shall (1) in case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated, and (3) contain any such other information as the Secured Party deems necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 9-613 of the UCC, including without limitation (a) a description of the Debtor and the Secured Party, (b) a description of the Collateral that is to be so sold, (c) method of intended disposition, and (d) a statement that the Debtor is entitled to an accounting. 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. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any 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 so 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. 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 its security interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party, may be paid from the proceeds of the disposition.

5.3               Debtor’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Secured Party after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Debtor will:

(a)                assemble and make available to the Secured Party the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Secured Party, whether at the Debtor’s premises or elsewhere;

(b)                permit the Secured Party, by the Secured Party’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Debtor for such use and occupancy;

(c)                prepare and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as the Secured Party may request, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, and furnish to the Secured Party, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the Secured Party, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Secured Party may specify; and

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1               Waivers. To the extent such notice may not be waived under Applicable Law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable (including under Section 9-612(a) of the UCC) if sent to the Debtor, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten (10) days prior to: (i) the date of any public sale, or (ii) the time after which any private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Debtor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Debtor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Debtor hereby waives 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.

8.2               Limitation on the Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property. The Secured Party shall not 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 Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Secured Party: (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other Applicable Law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) 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, (iv) 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, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) 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, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Secured Party shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the security interests granted or created hereunder in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder. The Secured Party shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Security Agreement by the Debtor. The Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Party would be commercially reasonable in the Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Debtor or to impose any duties on the Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.

8.3               Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Debtor and the Secured Party recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, the Debtor agrees that the Secured Party may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Secured Party in its reasonable judgment shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Secured Party shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Secured Party acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

8.4               Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Secured Party may perform or pay any obligation which the Debtor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and the Debtor shall reimburse the Secured Party for any amounts paid by the Secured Party pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Debtor’s obligation to reimburse the Secured Party pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be an Obligation payable on demand.

8.5               Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. The Debtor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1(d), 4.1(e), 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 5.3, or 8.6 or in Article VII will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Secured Party to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Debtor contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Debtor contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Debtor.

8.6               Dispositions Not Authorized. The Debtor is not authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1(d) and notwithstanding any course of dealing between the Debtor and the Secured Party or other conduct of the Secured Party, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1(d)) shall be binding upon the Secured Party unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Secured Party.

8.7               No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by or on behalf of the Secured Party and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Secured Party until the Obligations have been paid in full. Pursuit by the Secured Party of certain judicial or other remedies shall not abate nor bar resort to other remedies with respect to the Collateral, and pursuit of certain remedies with respect to all or some of the Collateral shall not bar other remedies with respect to the Obligations or to other portions of the Collateral.

8.8               Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. 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 provision of Applicable Law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all mandatory provisions of Applicable Law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.

8.9               Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Debtor for liquidation or reorganization, should the Debtor 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 the Debtor’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, are, 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.

8.10           Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtor, the Secured Party (for the benefit of itself and the holders of the Bonds), and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that the Debtor shall not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, hereunder. If at any time or times by assignment or otherwise the Secured Party transfers any of the Collateral, such transfer shall carry with it the Secured Party’s power and rights under this Security Agreement with respect to the Collateral transferred and the transferee shall become vested with said powers and rights whether or not they are specifically referred to in the transfer. If and to the extent the Secured Party retains any other Collateral, the Secured Party will continue to have the rights and powers herein set forth with respect thereto.

8.11           Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Debtor contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

8.12           Taxes and Expenses. Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable by Federal or state authorities in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Debtor promptly as they become due and payable, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Debtor shall reimburse the Secured Party for any and all out-of-pocket expenses and internal charges (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and accountants’ fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants who may be employees of the Secured Party) paid or incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Debtor in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Debtor. Such expenses of the Secured Party may be deducted from the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral, and any residue of any proceeds of such collection or sale shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Indenture, and the Debtor shall remain fully liability for any deficiency.

8.13           Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

8.14           Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Obligations outstanding) until: (i) each of the Indenture and the Loan Agreement have terminated pursuant to their express terms, and (ii) all of the Obligations (other than obligations that by their terms survive and with respect to which no claim has been made) have been paid and performed in full and no commitments which would give rise to any Obligations are outstanding.

8.15           Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Debtor and the Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Debtor and the Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, relating to the Collateral.

8.16           CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS; provided, however, to the extent that the creation, validity, perfection, enforceability or priority of any lien or security interest, or the rights and remedies with respect to any lien or security, or any Collateral IS governed by the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of OHIO, then the Laws of such jurisdiction shall govern, except as superseded by applicable United States federal law.

8.17           CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OHIO IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER BOND DOCUMENT AND THE DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE SECURED PARTY TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE DEBTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE DEBTOR AGAINST THE SECURED PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE SECURED PARTY INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER BOND DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN OHIO.
