In order to secure and to provide for the payment and performance of the Obligations, Debtor hereby assigns, pledges, transfers and grants to Secured Party, a continuing security interest (subject to priority security interests now or hereafter determined under statute or law) in, and a lien upon, all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, (A) the Eligible Purchase Order, (B) the Payment Account, (C) all goods and inventory acquired by Debtor for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations under the Eligible Purchase Order and financed by Secured Party with an Advance made pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to such goods and inventory as is in transit and/or is temporarily out of Debtor’s custody or possession, as well as all goods, inventory, work in process and finished products acquired or manufactured by Debtor or in Debtor’s actual or constructive possession or control; (D) solely to the extent arising from the Eligible Purchase Order, all of Debtor’s accounts, documents, instruments, contract rights, chattel paper and general intangibles arising from or as a result of or relating to the sale by Debtor of finished products acquired or manufactured by Debtor from Suppliers and sold to, by or through Debtor to Customers and all such goods whose sale, lease or other disposition by Debtor has given rise to accounts and have been returned to or repossessed or stopped in transit by Debtor; (E) all chattel paper and instruments relating to any of the foregoing; (F) all claims against Suppliers, carriers


and shippers relating to any of the foregoing goods and inventory, (G) all additions and accessions to, substitutions for, and replacements, products and proceeds of the foregoing property, including, without limitation, proceeds of all insurance policies insuring the foregoing property, and (H) all of Debtor’s books and records relating to any of the foregoing and to Debtor’s business (the “Collateral”). Except as defined herein, all terms used above shall have the meanings provided in Article 9.

Section 8.3 UCC Financing Statements. During the term of this Agreement, Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment. Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to Secured Party promptly upon request.

or adjust all or any of the Collateral; (ii) to correspond and negotiate directly with insurance carriers; and (iii) to execute any notice, statement, instruments, agreement, or other paper that Secured Party may require to create, preserve, perfect, or validate any security interest granted in this Agreement or to enable Secured Party to exercise or enforce its rights hereunder or with respect to such security interest. Neither Secured Party nor its attorneys, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for acts, omissions, any error in judgment, or mistake in fact in its/their capacity as agent or attorney-in-fact. This power, being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until the Obligations have been fully satisfied and this Agreement has been terminated.

Section 8.6 Insurance. Debtor shall obtain and maintain customary insurance for Debtor’s businesses covering the Collateral. The insurance shall be in form and substance, in amounts and with insurance companies reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party.

All insurance policies shall contain a lender loss payable clause in favor of Secured Party and shall provide that losses, if any, shall be payable to Secured Party for the benefit of Debtor. Debtor shall pay the premiums for all insurance and deliver to Secured Party the policies of insurance or duplicates thereof, or other evidence satisfactory to Secured Party of such insurance coverage. Each insurer shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Secured Party, that it will give Secured Party thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the effective date of any material alteration or cancellation of such policy.
