Each of the Borrowers is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where it owns or leases real property or maintains employees or where the nature of its activities make such qualification necessary, except where such failure to qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.2 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Parent has delivered to the Agent, acting on behalf of the Purchasers, true, correct, and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation of the Parent and the Subsidiary as in effect on the date hereof (each a “Certificate of Incorporation” and collectively the “Certificates of Incorporation”) and each of their bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (each a “Bylaw” and collectively the “Bylaws”).
3.3 Corporate Power and Authority. Each of the Borrowers has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and this Agreement to which it is a party. The Borrowers have all requisite corporate power and authority to issue and sell the Notes and the Warrants to the Purchasers hereunder. Each of the Borrowers has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
3.4 Capitalization. Immediately prior to the date hereof, the Parent is authorized to issue 410,000,000 shares of capital stock of which (i) 300,000,000 are designated as Common Stock, of which 112,824,619 shares are issued and outstanding (ii) and 110,000,000 are designated as Preferred Stock, of which (A) 64,000,000 are designated as Series A Preferred Stock of which 62,873,781 shares are issued and outstanding, (B) 10,000,000 of which are designated Series B Preferred Stock of which 8,382,041 shares are issued and outstanding, (C) 20,000,000 of which are designated Series C Preferred Stock of which 17,184,000 shares are issued and outstanding.

3.5 Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of this Agreement and the Loan Agreements, the sale, issuance and delivery of the Notes and the Warrants and the performance of all of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and each of the Loan Documents have been authorized by each Borrower’s Board of Directors, no other corporate action on the part of any Borrower and, except as set for the on Schedule 3.5, no other corporate or other approval or authorization is required on the part of any Borrower or any other Person, by Law or otherwise, in order to make this Agreement and the Loan Documents the valid, binding and enforceable obligations (subject to (i) Laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies) of the Borrowers, as the case may be. This Agreement and each of the Loan Documents, when executed and delivered by each of the Borrowers that is a party thereto, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its respective terms, subject to (i) Laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
5
3.6 Title to Properties and Assets; Leases; Insurance.
(a) Neither Borrower currently owns any real property nor has ever owned any real property. Each of the Borrowers has good and marketable title to or has a valid leasehold interest in, or license to use, all of the property or assets used by it or located on its premises and necessary for the conduct of business as presently conducted, free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens.
(b) With respect to the insurance policies and fidelity bonds covering the assets, business, equipment, properties, operations, employees, officers and directors of each Borrower, there is no claim by either Borrower pending under any of such policies or bonds as to which coverage has been denied or disputed by the underwriters of such policies or bonds which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All premiums due and payable under all such policies and bonds have been paid and each Borrower, as applicable, is otherwise in compliance in all material respects with the terms of such policies and bonds. Neither Borrower has any Knowledge of any threatened termination of, or material premium increase with respect to, any of such policies. Each Borrower maintains insurance in such amounts, including (as applicable) self-insurance, retainage and deductible arrangements, and of such a character as is reasonable for companies engaged in the same or similar business similarly situated.
3.7 Related-Party Transactions. No employee, officer, shareholder, director or consultant of the Borrowers or member of the immediate family (defined as parents, spouse, siblings or lineal descendants) of any such officer or director is indebted to either of the Borrowers for borrowed money, and except as set forth in the SEC Reports or the exhibits attached thereto or pursuant to this Agreement, neither Borrower is indebted for borrowed money (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them other than for reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with their service to such Borrower, and amounts accrued but not yet due to employees and other service providers. To the Knowledge of the Borrowers, except as provided for in this Agreement and the Loan Documents or as set forth in the SEC Reports, (a) no employee, officer, shareholder, director or consultant of such Borrower or any member of the immediate family of any such officer or director is, directly or indirectly, interested in any Material Contract or has any other material business relationship with any Borrower, except stock ownership in or employment with a Borrower and (b) no officer, director of such Borrower or any member of the immediate family of such officer or director has any material business relationship with any competitor of such Borrower.
3.8 Permits; Compliance with Applicable Laws. Each Borrower has all franchises, permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals, registrations and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it except for those the absence of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (the “Permits”). Neither Borrower is in violation in any material respect of, or default in any material respect under, any such Permits. All such Permits are in full force and effect, and to the Borrower’s Knowledge, no violations in any material respect have been recorded in respect of any such Permits; no proceeding is pending or, to the Borrower’s Knowledge, threatened to revoke or limit any such Permit; and no such Permit will be suspended, cancelled or adversely modified as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
6
Each Borrower is in compliance in all respects with all applicable Laws, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.9 Proprietary Rights. Each Borrower is the sole owner, free and clear of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, or has a valid license, without the payment of any royalty (except with respect to off-the-shelf software that is licensed by such Borrower) and otherwise on commercially reasonable terms, to, all Proprietary Rights material to the business of such Borrower. As used herein, the term “Proprietary Rights” means each Borrower’s patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks, logos, designs, formulations, copyrights, and other trade rights and all registrations and applications therefor, all know-how, trade secrets, technology or processes, research and development, all Internet domain addresses, Web sites and computer programs, data bases and software documentation and all other intellectual property owned, licensed or otherwise used by such Borrower (other than off-the-shelf software that is licensed by such Borrower). Neither Borrower has received any written demand, claim, notice or inquiry from any person or entity in respect of the Proprietary Rights material to the business of such Borrower which challenges, threatens to challenge or inquires as to whether there is any basis to challenge, the validity of, or the rights of such Borrower in such Proprietary Rights, and neither Borrower has Knowledge of any basis for any such challenge. To each Borrower’s Knowledge, such Borrower is not in violation or infringement of, and has not violated or infringed, any intellectual property rights of any other person or entity. To such Borrower’s Knowledge no third party is infringing on the rights of such Borrower in and to such Proprietary Rights.
3.10 Material Contracts. (a) All material agreements of each Borrower (collectively, the “Material Contracts”) are included as exhibits to the Parent’s filings with the SEC. Other than the Demand Notes, the SEC Reports disclose all financing arrangements of the Borrowers relating to the assets or liabilities of the Borrowers.
(b) Assuming the due execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, each of such Material Contracts is as of the date hereof a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower that is a party thereto and, to such Borrower’s Knowledge, the counterparty thereto, and in full force and effect, and enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) Laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies. There is no material breach, violation or default by a Borrower under any such Material Contract, and to each Borrower’s Knowledge, (x) no Material Contract has expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms that is material to the Borrower’s business taken as a whole and (y) no event (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would (A) constitute a material breach, violation or default by a Borrower under any such Material Contract, or (B) give rise to any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) or right of termination, modification, cancellation, prepayment, suspension, limitation, revocation or acceleration against a Borrower under any such Material Contract, which expiration, termination or event would cause a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, neither Borrower is and, to the such Borrower’s Knowledge, no other party to any of such Material Contract is in arrears in respect of the performance or satisfaction of any material terms or conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied under any of such Material Contract, and neither Borrower has and, to such Borrower’s Knowledge, no other party thereto has granted
7
or been granted any material waiver or indulgence under any of such Material Contract or repudiated any provision thereof.
3.11 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or those arising in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the date of the most recent balance sheet filed with the SEC, neither Borrower has any liabilities of any type, whether absolute or contingent.

3.23 Financial Statements. Included in the SEC Reports are the audited consolidated financial statements of the Parent as at and for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Parent for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 (the “Financial Statements”).

Each of the Loan Documents and this Agreement, when executed and delivered by such Purchaser that is a party thereto, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms subject to: (i) Laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

conditions or provisions of (i) its certificate/articles of formation or organization or any of its other formation or organizational documents (if any), or (ii) any material contract to which it is a party, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the assets, properties or business of such Purchaser; or

SECTION 8. Indemnification.
8.1 General Indemnification. Each of the Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold each Purchaser, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners (general and limited), employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns (each a “Purchaser Entity”) harmless from and against all Losses incurred, suffered or arising out or by reason of any matter relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless such Losses are the result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Purchaser Entity. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify, defend and hold the Borrowers, their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns (each a “Borrower Entity”) harmless against all Losses as a result of the breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, unless such Losses are a result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Borrower Entity.
8.2 Indemnification Principles. For purposes of this Section 8, “Losses” shall mean each and all of the following items: claims, losses (excluding losses of earnings), liabilities, obligations, payments, damages (actual and direct), charges, judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest which may be imposed in connection therewith, costs and expenses of investigation, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel, consultants and other experts). Each Purchaser and the Borrowers hereby agree that Losses shall not include punitive or consequential damages except to the extent that such Losses are the result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the party from whom the indemnification is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”).
8.3 Claim Notice; Right to Defend. A party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) under this Section 8 shall promptly upon becoming aware of the facts indicating that a claim for indemnification may be warranted, give to the Indemnifying Party a claim notice relating to such Loss (a “Claim Notice”). Each Claim Notice shall specify the nature of the claim, the applicable provision(s) of this Agreement or other instrument under which the claim for indemnity arises, and, if possible, the amount or the estimated amount
20
thereof. No failure or delay in giving a Claim Notice (so long as the same is given prior to expiration of the representation or warranty upon which the claim is based) and no failure to include any specific information relating to the claim (such as the amount or estimated amount thereof) or any reference to any provision of this Agreement or other instrument under which the claim arises shall affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party unless such failure materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. If such Loss relates to the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third person, the Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party regarding such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein. After the delivery of notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable (except to the extent the proviso to this sentence is applicable, in which event it will be so liable) to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, provided that each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent it and assume its defense (in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall not represent it) in the event the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof within 10 days of receipt of notice of such claim or commencement of action, and in which case the fees and expenses of one such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If any Indemnified Party employs such separate counsel it will not enter into any settlement agreement which is not approved by the Indemnifying Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party so assumes the defense thereof, it may not agree to any settlement of any such claim or action as the result of which any remedy or relief, other than monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible hereunder, shall be applied to or against the Indemnified Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any action hereunder as to which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice, but, except as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated hereunder to reimburse the Indemnified Party for the costs thereof.

The agreements in this Section 11.18 shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(i) Agent in its Individual Capacity, and not as Agent. The Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers as though the Agent were not the Agent. With respect to its Notes purchased hereunder the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement, the Loan Documents and any related document as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.
(j) Agent’s Ability to Employ Agents and Attorneys-in-Fact. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible, except as to money or
31
securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected and monitored by it with reasonable care.
(k) Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Purchasers and the Borrowers. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, then the Majority Purchasers shall appoint from among the Purchasers or their affiliates a successor agent for the Purchasers, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be approved by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement, the Loan Document or any holders of the Notes. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Purchasers (taking actions by approval of the Majority Purchasers) shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Purchasers appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11.18 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(l) Borrower’s Ability to Rely on Agent’s Authority. The Borrowers shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document or other advice, statement or instruction provided to it by Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the Borrowers shall generally be entitled to deal with Agent with respect to matters under this Agreement or the Loan Documents which Agent is authorized to deal with without any obligation whatsoever to satisfy itself as to the authority of Agent to act on behalf of the Purchasers and without any liability whatsoever to the Purchasers for relying upon any certificate, notice or other document or other advice, statement or instruction provided to it by Agent, notwithstanding any lack of authority of Agent to provide the same.

(f) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant is being acquired by the Holder as principal and solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or an opinion of counsel in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration is not required under the Securities Act, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of all applicable securities laws.
(ii) The Holder acknowledges and agrees that it will comply with all applicable stock exchange or quotation system rules and any applicable securities legislation, orders, rules or policy statements concerning the purchase of Warrant Shares.

3. Shares Fully Paid; Covenants; Loss of Warrants.
(a) Shares Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will, at the time of issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Articles of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may
4
be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (but only to the extent specifically provided in Section 4 hereof) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than such restrictions as are expressly set forth herein and subject to applicable securities laws) upon the exercise of this Warrant; and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price. The Warrant Price and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(a) Recapitalization; Reorganization; Reclassification; Consolidation; Merger or Sale.
(i) In case the Issuer at any time prior to the Expiration Date shall do any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”): (A) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (B) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (C) transfer, sell or otherwise dispose all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive, and shall accept, at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments and increases (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.
5
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Issuer will not, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, effect any Triggering Event (other than a merger involving the Issuer and one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries), unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which as a result of such Triggering Event may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a).
(b) Subdivision or Consolidation of Common Stock. If the Issuer, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, shall subdivide or consolidate the outstanding shares of Common Stock (A) in case of subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced (as at the effective date of such subdivision) to reflect the increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such subdivision, or (B) in the case of a consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased (as at the effective date of such consolidation) to reflect the reduction in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such consolidation.
(c) Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, shall:
(i) Stock Dividends. Pay a stock dividend to, or make any other distribution to, its holders of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, as at the date of such payment or other distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such payment or other distribution, by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution (plus in the event that the Issuer paid cash for fractional shares, the number of additional shares which would have been outstanding had the Issuer issued fractional shares in connection with said dividends); or
(ii) Other Dividends. Pay a cash dividend on, or make any distribution of its assets upon or with respect to (including, but not limited to, a distribution of its property as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way of return of capital), the Common Stock (other than as described in clause (i) of this subsection (c)), then on the record date for such payment or distribution, this Warrant shall represent a right to acquire upon exercise, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares under this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such dividend or additional stock or other Securities or property of the Issuer to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto.
(d) Adjustment of Warrant Price Upon Issuance of Additional Common Stock. If the Issuer, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, shall issue Additional Common Stock at a
6
price per share, or with an exercise price or conversion price (as the case may be), lower than the Warrant Price in effect at such time, then the Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:
WP2 = (WP1 * (A + B)) / (A + C)
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(A) “WP2” shall mean the Warrant Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Common Stock;
(B) “WP1” shall mean the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Common Stock;
(C) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue);
(D) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to WP1; and
(E) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Common Stock issued in such transaction.
(e) Outstanding Common Stock. With respect to the making of adjustments in the Warrant Price, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries.
(f) Other Action Affecting the Common Stock. In case the Issuer at any time prior to the Expiration Date shall take any action affecting its shares of Common Stock, other than an action described in any of the foregoing subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 4, inclusive, and the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principle of this Section 4, then, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
(g) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, an “adjustment”), the Issuer shall deliver notice to the Holder of such adjustment and shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the
7
amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), the calculations made in connection therewith and the Warrant Price after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any failure of the Chief Financial Officer to deliver such certificate shall not prejudice the rights of the Holder in connection with the applicable adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate shall be determined by the Issuer’s independent outside auditors or, if they are unable to act, by such firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the Board, and any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Holder and the transfer agent for the Common Stock. The firm selected by the Issuer as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty days after submission to it of such dispute. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by such Holder and the Issuer.

(b) If the Issuer sets a record date to determine the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be made.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower will: (1) following an Event of Default, xxxx conspicuously each document and agreement included in such Borrower’s Collateral and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, each of its records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, indicating that such Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereby; (2) subject to the rights of the Senior Lenders, if any Account Receivable shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument or chattel paper, deliver such to the Collateral Agent duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; and (3) authenticate (if necessary) and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, notices or other records, as may be legally necessary, or as the Collateral Agent may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.
(b) Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of such Borrower’ s Collateral.
(c) Each Borrower will furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing such Borrower’s Collateral and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Borrower shall, from time to time, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, in such form and manner as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, solely for the Collateral Agent’s convenience in maintaining records of such Borrower’s Collateral, such confirmatory schedules of such Borrower’s Accounts Receivable, and such other appropriate reports designating, identifying and describing such Borrower’s Accounts Receivable, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request; and (ii) if any material
9
commercial tort claim should hereafter arise (“Additional Tort Claim”), such Borrower shall promptly advise the Collateral Agent in writing, supplementing Schedule III hereto, which supplement shall constitute a grant by such Borrower to the Collateral Agent of a security interest therein, on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in the Security Agreement, and such Borrower’s authorization to file, or to amend, such financing statements as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to perfect its security interest in such Additional Tort Claim. In addition, upon the Collateral Agent’s request, each Borrower shall provide the Purchasers with copies of agreements with, or purchase orders from, such Borrower’s customers, of invoices to customers and proof of shipment or delivery and such other documentation and information relating to its Accounts Receivable and its other Collateral as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to the extent such Borrower maintains such documentation in the ordinary course of its business. Failure to provide the Collateral Agent with any of the foregoing shall in no way affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit the Lien granted herein. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to regard its printed name or rubber stamp signature on assignment schedules or invoices as the equivalent of a manual signature by an authorized officer or agent of such Borrower.
(d) Such Borrower will defend its Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons (other than the Collateral Agent or a Senior Lender) claiming an interest therein.
(e) Such Borrower will, no later than the close of business on the fifth day following the Initial Closing, file a financing statement on Form UCC-1 with the Delaware Secretary of State and no later than thirty (30) days after the Initial Closing, prepare all necessary filings with the PTO with respect to the security interest created hereby and no later than ten (10) days following the request of the Collateral Agent, file such necessary filings with the PTO, such filings to be, in form and substance, acceptable to the Collateral Agent.
(f) Such Borrower will not change its name or jurisdiction of incorporation, or its corporate structure, or merge with or into any other Person, or become domesticated under the laws of any other jurisdiction without giving at least 10 days prior notice to the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 7. As to Equipment, Inventory and Trademarks. Each Borrower shall:
(a) Keep its Equipment and Inventory (other than its Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business) at the places therefor specified in Schedule I hereto or, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, at such other places in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 6 shall have been taken with respect to its Equipment and Inventory;
(b) Permit the Collateral Agent or any agent thereof to have access to its Inventory and Equipment for purposes of inspection during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to such Borrower;
10
(c) Promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any material loss or damage to its Inventory or Equipment;
(d) Except for collateral securing a purchase-money obligation incurred in compliance with §9-103 of the UCC, not permit its Equipment to become a part of or to be affixed to any real property of any person; and
(e) Advise the Collateral Agent of all its Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights or applications for or registration of the same, created or obtained by such Borrower on or after the date of this Security Agreement.
SECTION 8. Insurance.
(a) Each policy for liability and property damage insurance shall within 30 days following the Initial Closing provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of a Senior Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Borrowers as their respective interests may appear. Each such policy shall in addition: (1) name the Collateral Agent as insured party thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as its interests may appear; and (2) provide that at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of amendment to or lapse and at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of cancellation shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer. Each Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each policy to contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Collateral Agent whose rights with respect to any loss thereunder shall be unaffected by any action, inaction or breach of representation and warranty by such Borrower. Each Borrower shall, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Collateral Agent may request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Further, each Borrower shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 6 and cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
(b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 8 may be paid directly to the person who shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to a Borrower’s Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of this Section 8 is not applicable, such Borrower shall make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance maintained by such Borrower pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid to such Borrower as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), subject to Section 11(b) hereof, all insurance payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to the Collateral Agent and applied to payment of the amounts due under the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 9. As to Accounts Receivable.
(a) Each Borrower shall keep its principal place of business and chief executive office and the office where it keeps its
11
records concerning its Accounts Receivable, at the location therefor specified in Schedule I hereto or, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, at such other locations in a jurisdiction where all action required by Section 6 shall have been taken with respect to its Accounts Receivable. Each Borrower will hold and preserve such records and will permit representatives of the Collateral Agent to inspect and make abstracts from such records upon reasonable notice to such Borrower and during normal business hours.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), each Borrower shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Borrower under its Accounts Receivable. In connection with such collections, each Borrower may take such action as such Borrower may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of its Accounts Receivable; provided, however, that, subject to the rights of the Senior Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default upon written notice to such Borrower of its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors or obligors under any of such Borrower’s Accounts Receivable of the assignment of such Accounts Receivable to the Collateral Agent and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Borrower thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Borrower, to enforce collection of any such Accounts Receivable, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Borrower might have done. As long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to Section 11(b) hereof, (1) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by such Borrower in respect of its Accounts Receivable shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Borrower and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied as provided by Section 16(c) or if it cannot be so applied under applicable Law, held as cash collateral, as determined by the Collateral Agent, and (2) such Borrower shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any of its Account Receivable, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon, other than any discount allowed for prompt payment.
SECTION 10. Assignment of Claims Act. Neither Borrower shall permit any notice to be filed under the Assignment of Claims Act with respect to any of its Collateral, except for such notice in favor of a Senior Lender and the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 11. Notes Equally and Ratably Secured; Subordination.
(a) The Notes shall be equally and ratably secured pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement. The Borrowers shall not make any offer to purchase or otherwise pay any Purchaser without making the same offer to each Purchaser.
(b) The Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees that all of the Secured Obligations are subordinated to the rights of any Senior Lender in connection with the Senior Credit Facility including as set forth in the SVB Subordination Agreement.
SECTION 12. [RESERVED].
12
SECTION 13. Collateral Agent Appointed Borrowers’ Attorney-in-Fact. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Borrower and in the name of such Borrower, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, subject to Section 11(b) hereof, including, without limitation:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8;
(b) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(c) to receive, endorse, assign, and collect any and all checks, notes, drafts and other negotiable and non-negotiable instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and each Borrower waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument, document or chattel paper so endorsed or assigned;
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the Collateral or the proceeds or avails thereof, as full and effectually as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof;
(f) to perform or cause the performance of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder;
(g) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to each of the Borrowers and to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Collateral Agent may designate; and
(h) to transmit to customers indebted on Accounts notice of the Collateral Agent’s interest therein and to notify customers indebted on Accounts to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent for the Borrowers’ account.
Each Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts other than those which directly result from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, of the Collateral Agent, as its attorney in-fact, pursuant to this Section 13, and the Collateral Agent, as its attorney in-fact, will not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than those which are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be the direct result of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as this Security Agreement remains in effect.
13
Each Borrower also authorizes the Collateral Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to communicate in its own name with any party to any contract, agreement or instrument included in the Collateral with regard to the assignment of such contract, agreement or instrument and other matters relating thereto.
SECTION 14. Collateral Agent May Perform. If the Borrowers fail to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrowers under Section 17(b).
SECTION 15. Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
SECTION 16. Remedies. Subject to Section 11(b) hereof, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and not have been waived or cured:
(a) The Collateral Agent has the right to take the actions described in the proviso of Section 9(b).
(b) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may (i) require the Borrowers to, and each Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon the request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties and (ii) to the extent permitted by Law, enter the premises where any of the Collateral is located and take and carry away the same, by any of its representatives, with or without legal process, to Collateral Agent’s place of storage, and (iii) without notice except as specified in the next sentence, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of disposition is required by Law, notice to the Borrowers of at least ten (10) business days prior to the earliest time of disposition set forth in such notice shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place it was so adjourned.
(c) Subject to Section 11(b), all cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, to the extent required by applicable Law, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 17) to the payment in full of
14
the Secured Obligations, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing or as the Purchasers holding the same may otherwise agree. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations to the Collateral Agent shall be paid over to the Borrowers (subject to the rights and remedies of other secured lenders). If the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all of the Secured Obligations, the Borrowers agrees to pay upon demand any deficiency to the Collateral Agent.
(d) The Collateral Agent may use (and is hereby granted a license to use), in connection with any assembly, preparation for disposition or disposition of the Collateral, any of the trademarks, copyrights, patents, technical processes, trade names, service marks or trade styles and other intellectual property used by the Borrowers, without payment or additional compensation therefor.
(e) The Borrowers recognize that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral consisting of investment property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in applicable Delaware or other states’ securities laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless registration or qualification, as the case may be, is accomplished. To the extent permitted by Law, the Borrowers acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may resort to one or more private sales to a single purchaser or a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such investment property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. To the extent permitted by Law, the Borrowers agree that private sales may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the Borrowers than if such investment property were sold at a public sale and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such portion of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such investment property to register or qualify such investment property, even if such issuer would, or should, proceed to register or qualify such investment property for public sale. The Borrowers agree that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a “commercially reasonable” manner.
SECTION 17. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Without limiting any indemnity provided under the Note Purchase Agreement or any Loan Document, each Borrower agrees to indemnify and defend the Collateral Agent (including, for the purposes of this Section 17, its agents and affiliates and its officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors and any of their affiliates (each an “Indemnified Party”)), from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Security Agreement or any Loan Document (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Security Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Each Borrower will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses
15
or disbursements of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (1) the negotiation or preparation of, or any closing under, and the perfection of (including any filing or recording fees) any and all Liens contemplated by this Security Agreement and any other related documents, (2) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, and (3) the interpretation, performance or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent. Without limiting in any manner the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower will pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser upon failure by the Borrowers to perform or observe any of the provisions of this Agreement or upon demand in connection with the bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving a Borrower; in each case, including without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Collateral Agent and of any consultants or expert witnesses retained by the Collateral Agent, with respect to any aspect of the Secured Obligations or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. All amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Section 17(b) shall be paid together with interest thereon, from the date incurred by the Collateral Agent until paid, calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and for the actual number of days elapsed, at the highest rate of interest then applicable to any of the Secured Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to the Borrowers for damages as a result of delays, temporary withdrawals of the Equipment from service or other causes other than those caused by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 17 shall survive satisfaction of the Secured Obligations and termination of this Security Agreement.
SECTION 18. Amendments; Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement nor consent to any departure by a party herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrowers and the Collateral Agent and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
SECTION 19. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be (i) mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, (ii) delivered by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iii) otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger, addressed, if to the Collateral Agent or a Purchaser, to:
SG Phoenix LLC, as Collateral Agent
000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000
Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000
Facsimile Number: (000) 000-0000

Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000
Facsimile Number (000) 000-0000
Attention: Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
16
All notices shall be effective upon receipt.
SECTION 20. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Note. This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (1) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, (2) be binding upon the Borrowers, their successors and permitted assigns and (3) inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (3), the Collateral Agent may resign and a successor agent may become vested with the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 11.18 of the Note Purchase Agreement. Upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrowers; provided, however that the parties hereto agree that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any party to this Security Agreement is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reasons whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower, this Security Agreement shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and this Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the Borrowers such documents as the Borrowers shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
SECTION 21. Governing Law. This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the security interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
SECTION 22. Miscellaneous. This Security Agreement is in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies the Collateral Agent may have by virtue of any other instrument or agreement heretofore, contemporaneously herewith or hereafter executed by the Borrowers or by law or otherwise. If any provision of this Security Agreement is contrary to applicable law, such provision shall be deemed ineffective without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and this Security Agreement shall be enforced to the greatest extent possible to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto. If and to the extent that applicable Law confers any rights in addition to any of the provisions of this Security Agreement, the affected provision shall be considered amended to conform thereto. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder. A waiver by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion, shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy which the Collateral Agent would have had on any future occasion nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable for exercising or failing to exercise any such right or remedy. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and the parties hereto may execute this Security Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

Existing Commercial Tort Claims
XPLORE TECHNOLOGIES CORP. (the “Parent”)
On November 9, 2006, the Parent issued a Statement of Claim against Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. In the Statement of Claim, the Parent has alleged negligence against Deloitte with respect to the auditing services provided to us in connection with its audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles of the 2002, 2003 and 2004 audited financial statements. The Statement of Claim seeks damages in the amount of Cdn. $4,070,000 for direct and indirect losses. On December 22, 2006, Deloitte filed an answer to the Statement of Claim. On March 28, 2008, Deloitte filed an amended defense and counterclaim against the Parent, seeking indemnification for damages, costs and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements and personnel time) allegedly incurred by Deloitte in responding to regulatory inquiries, requests, reviews or investigations relating to, arising out of or associated with Deloitte’s review or audit engagements for or during the Parent’s fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004.

C. In order to induce Bank to extend credit to Borrower and, at any time or from time to time, at Bank’s option, to make such further loans, extensions of credit, or other accommodations to or for the account of Borrower, or to purchase or extend credit upon any instrument or writing in respect of which a Credit Party may be liable in any capacity, or to grant such renewals or extension of any such loan, extension of credit, purchase, or other accommodation as Bank may deem advisable, each Creditor is willing to subordinate, subject to the terms and conditions hereof: (i) all of the Credit Parties’ indebtedness for borrowed money to such Creditor, whether presently existing or arising in the future (the “Subordinated Debt”) to all of the Credit Parties’ indebtedness and obligations to Bank; and (ii) all of such Creditor’s security interests, if any, to all of Bank’s security interests in the Credit Parties’ property.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Creditor subordinates to Bank any security interest or lien that such Creditor may have in any property of the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of such Creditor and the security interest of Bank, the security interest of Bank in (i) the Collateral, as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of September 11, 2009 (as may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) and (ii) the
F-24
Collateral, as defined in the Security Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral”), shall at all times be senior to the security interest of such Creditor. The Loan Agreement, the Guaranty and the Security Agreement shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”.
2. All Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of the Credit Parties to Bank now existing or hereafter arising, together with all costs of collecting such obligations (including attorneys’ fees), including, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement by or against a Credit Party of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and all obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Senior Debt”).
3. No Creditor will demand or receive from the Credit Parties (and the Credit Parties will not pay to any Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will any Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral, nor will any Creditor accelerate the Subordinated Debt, or commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against the Credit Parties, until such time as both (i) the Senior Debt is paid in full and (ii) Bank has no commitment or obligation to lend any further funds to Borrower under the Loan Documents. The foregoing notwithstanding, provided that an Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, has not occurred and is not continuing and would not exist immediately after such payment, (i) Creditors shall be entitled to receive each regularly scheduled, non-accelerated payment of non-default interest as and when due and payable and (ii) Creditors shall be entitled to receive prepayments of principal and interest provided such payments are made solely with the proceeds of the sale of a Credit Party’s equity securities, in either case, in accordance with the terms of those certain Notes executed by the Credit Parties in favor of Creditors pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement between the Credit Parties and the Creditors dated as of November 5, 2009. Nothing in the foregoing paragraph shall prohibit a Creditor from converting all or any part of the Subordinated Debt into equity securities of a Credit Party.
4. Each Creditor shall promptly deliver to Bank in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by such Creditor where required by Bank) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by such Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement.
5. In the event of a Credit Party’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Bank’s claims against the Credit Parties and the estate of the Credit Parties shall be paid in full before any payment is made to any Creditor.
6. Until the Senior Debt is paid in full and Bank’s arrangements to lend any funds to Borrower under the Loan Documents have been terminated, each Creditor irrevocably appoints Bank as such Creditor’s attorney-in-fact, and grants to Bank a power
F-25
of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of such Creditor or in the name of Bank, for the use and benefit of Bank, with notice to such Creditor, to perform at Bank’s option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving a Credit Party:
(i) To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of such Creditor if such Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if Bank elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims; and
(ii) To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of such Creditor and to otherwise vote such Creditor’s claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Bank deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder.
7. Each Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement. By the execution of this Agreement, each Creditor hereby authorizes Bank to amend any financing statements filed by such Creditor against either of the Credit Parties as follows: “In accordance with a certain Subordination Agreement by and among the Secured Party, the Debtor and Silicon Valley Bank, the Secured Party has subordinated any security interest or lien that Secured Party may have in any property of the Debtor to the security interest of Silicon Valley Bank in all assets of the Debtor, notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of the Secured Party and Silicon Valley Bank.”
8. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interests or liens that Creditors may have in any property of the Credit Parties. By way of example, such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt. Bank shall have the sole and exclusive right to restrict or permit, or approve or disapprove, the sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral except in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt. Upon written notice from Bank to Creditors of Bank’s agreement to release its lien on all or any portion of the Collateral in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by Bank in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (or by a Credit Party with consent of Bank), each Creditor shall be deemed to have also, automatically and simultaneously, released its lien on such Collateral, and each Creditor shall upon written request by Bank, immediately take such action as shall be necessary or appropriate to evidence and confirm such release. All proceeds resulting from any such sale, transfer or other disposition shall be applied first to the Senior Debt until payment in full thereof, with the balance, if any, to the Subordinated Debt, or to any other entitled party. If any Creditor fails to release its lien as required hereunder, such Creditor hereby appoints Bank as attorney in fact for such Creditor with full power of substitution to release such Creditor’s liens as provided
F-26
hereunder. Such power of attorney being coupled with an interest shall be irrevocable.
9. All necessary action on the part of each Creditor, its officers, directors, partners, members and shareholders, as applicable, necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of such Creditor hereunder has been taken. Additionally, the execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement will not result in any material violation or default of any term of any of Creditors’ charter, formation or other organizational documents (such as Articles or Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, etc.).
10. If, at any time after payment in full of the Senior Debt any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Bank for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of a Credit Party), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and each Creditor shall immediately pay over to Bank all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to any Creditor, Bank may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as Bank, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to Borrower, increasing the principal amount, extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against a Credit Party or any other person. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Bank’s rights hereunder. Each Creditor waives any benefits of California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.
11. This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditors and shall benefit any successors or assigns of Bank. This Agreement shall remain effective until such time as both (i) the Senior Debt is paid in full and (ii) Bank has no commitment or obligation to lend any further funds to Borrower under the Loan Documents. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Creditors and Bank and not for the benefit of the Credit Parties or any other party.
12. Each Creditor hereby agrees to execute such documents and/or take such further action as Bank may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, ratifications and confirmations of this Agreement from time to time hereafter, as and when requested by Bank.
13. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles. Creditors and Bank submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
F-27
located in Santa Xxxxx County, California in any action, suit, or proceeding of any kind, against it which arises out of or by reason of this Agreement. CREDITORS AND BANK WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Xxxxx County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
15. This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. No Creditor is relying on any representations by Bank or either of the Credit Parties in entering into this Agreement, and each Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of the Credit Parties. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by Creditors and Bank.
16. In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party under this
F-28
Agreement, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in such action.
17. For so long as this Subordination Agreement is in full force an effect, the Subordinated Debt shall constitute “Permitted Indebtedness” and the liens granted to the Creditors in the property of the Credit Parties shall constitute “Permitted Liens” pursuant to the Loan Documents.

SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
This Subordination Agreement (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of November 5, 2009, is made by and among SG Phoenix LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as agent acting for the benefit of the Fall 2009 Purchasers (the “Fall 2009 Collateral Agent”), PHOENIX VENTURE FUND LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as agent for the Existing Purchasers (in such capacity, the “Existing Collateral Agent”), the Fall 2008 Purchasers holding at least 51% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes currently outstanding under the Fall 2008 Note Purchase Agreement (the “Fall 2008 Majority Purchasers”), and the Spring 2009 Purchasers holding at least 51% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes currently outstanding under the Spring 2009 Note Purchase Agreement (the “Spring 2009 Majority Purchasers”), as such Fall 2008 Majority Purchasers and Spring 2009 Majority Purchasers are identified on the signature pages hereto. The Fall 2008 Majority Purchasers, the Spring 2009 Majority Purchasers, and each of the other Fall 2008 Purchasers and Spring 2009 Purchasers not signatory hereto are collectively referred to herein as the “Existing Purchasers”. The Existing Collateral Agent and the Existing Purchasers are collectively referred to herein as “Creditors” and, each individually, a “Creditor”.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Xplore Technologies Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), Xplore Technologies Corporation of America, a Delaware corporation (the “Subsidiary” and, collectively with the Parent, the “Borrowers”, and, each individually, a “Borrower”), and certain purchasers (such purchasers, collectively, the “Fall 2008 Purchasers”) are parties to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2008 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Fall 2008 Note Purchase Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Borrowers and certain purchasers (such purchasers, collectively, the “Spring 2009 Purchasers”) are parties to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Spring 2009 Note Purchase Agreement”, and such Spring 2009 Note Purchase Agreement, together with the Fall 2008 Note Purchase Agreement, the “Existing Note Purchase Agreements”);
WHEREAS, the Borrowers and the Existing Collateral Agent entered into that certain Security Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2008, as amended (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Existing Security Agreement’), whereby the Borrowers granted to the Existing Collateral Agent a security interest in the collateral described in the Existing Security Agreement for the ratable benefit of each of the Existing Purchasers;
WHEREAS, the Borrowers desire to issue one or more senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3,300,000 (the “Fall 2009 Notes”), pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2009 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Fall 2009 Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Borrowers and the purchasers listed on Schedule I and Schedule II thereto from time to time (such purchasers, collectively, the “Fall 2009 Purchasers”);
2
WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of the Fall 2009 Notes, the Borrowers and the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent are entering into that certain Security Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Fall 2009 Security Agreement’), whereby the Borrowers will grant to the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent a security interest in the collateral described in the Fall 2009 Security Agreement (the “Collateral”) for the ratable benefit of each of the Fall 2009 Purchasers;
WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of the Fall 2009 Notes, the Borrowers and the Fall 2009 Purchasers desire the Existing Purchasers to (i) subordinate the indebtedness (including the right of repayment of principal of and interest) under the notes issued under the Existing Note Purchase Agreements (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”) and (ii) subordinate their security interest in the Collateral to the rights and security interest of the Fall 2009 Purchasers in the Collateral, pursuant to the terms of the Fall 2009 Note Purchase Agreement and the terms hereof; and
WHEREAS, the Existing Collateral Agent, the Fall 2008 Majority Purchasers and the Spring 2009 Majority Purchasers are willing to agree to the subordination described above.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Creditor subordinates to the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent and each of the Fall 2009 Purchasers any security interest or lien that such Creditor may have in the Collateral. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of such Creditor and the security interest of the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent and the Fall 2009 Purchasers, the security interest of the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent and the Fall 2009 Purchasers in the Collateral shall at all times be senior to the security interest of such Creditor.
2. All Subordinated Debt is subordinated to all obligations of the Borrowers to the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent and the Fall 2009 Purchasers now existing or hereafter arising under the Fall 2009 Note Purchase Agreement, together with all costs of collecting such obligations (including attorneys’ fees), including, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement by or against a Borrower of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding (collectively, the “Senior Debt”).
3. No Creditor will demand or receive from the Borrowers (and the Borrowers will not pay to any Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will any Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral, nor will any Creditor accelerate the Subordinated Debt, or commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against the Borrowers, until such time as the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Fall 2009 Note Purchase Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, provided that no Event of Default, as defined in the Fall 2009 Note Purchase Agreement, has occurred and is continuing, or would exist immediately after such payment, the Creditors shall be entitled to receive (i) each regularly scheduled, non-accelerated payment of non-default interest as and
3
when due and payable and (ii) prepayments of principal and interest provided such payments are made solely with the proceeds of the sale of a Borrower’s equity securities, in either case, in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreements. Nothing in the foregoing paragraph shall prohibit a Creditor from converting all or any part of the Subordinated Debt into equity securities of a Borrower.
4. Each Creditor shall promptly deliver to the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent, in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by such Creditor where required by the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent) for application to the Senior Debt (subject, however, to that certain Subordination Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2009, between Silicon Valley Bank, a California-chartered bank, as senior creditor, and the Fall 2009 Purchasers, as subordinated creditors (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “SVB Subordination Agreement”)) any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by such Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement.
5. In the event of a Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent’s and Fall 2009 Purchasers’ claims against the Borrowers and the estate of the Borrowers shall be paid in full before any payment is made to any Creditor.
6. Until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full, each Creditor irrevocably appoints the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent as such Creditor’s attorney-in-fact, and grants to the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of such Creditor or in the name of the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent, for the use and benefit of the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent and the Fall 2009 Purchasers, with notice to such Creditor, to perform at the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent’s option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving a Borrower:
(i) To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of such Creditor if such Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims; and
(ii) To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of such Creditor and to otherwise vote such Creditor’s claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights and the rights of the Fall 2009 Purchasers hereunder.
7. Each Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement. By the execution of this Agreement, each Creditor hereby authorizes the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent to amend any financing statements filed by such Creditor against either of the Borrowers to indicate that the liens evidenced by such financing statements are subordinated pursuant to the terms hereof.
4
8. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interests or liens that Creditors may have in any property of the Borrowers. By way of example, such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt. The Fall 2009 Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to restrict or permit, or approve or disapprove, the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral except in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt. Upon written notice from the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent to the Creditors of the Fall 2009 Purchasers’ agreement to release their liens on all or any portion of the Collateral in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Fall 2009 Note Purchase Agreement (or by a Borrower with consent of the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent), each Creditor shall be deemed to have also, automatically and simultaneously, released its lien on such Collateral, and each Creditor shall, upon written request by the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent, immediately take such action as shall be necessary or appropriate to evidence and confirm such release. All proceeds resulting from any such sale, transfer or other disposition shall be applied first to the Senior Debt until indefeasible payment in full thereof (subject to the SVB Subordination Agreement), with the balance, if any, to the Subordinated Debt, or to any other entitled party. If any Creditor fails to release its lien as required hereunder, such Creditor hereby appoints the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent as attorney in fact for such Creditor with full power of substitution to release such Creditor’s liens as provided hereunder. Such power of attorney being coupled with an interest shall be irrevocable.
9. All necessary action on the part of each Creditor, its officers, directors, partners, members and shareholders, as applicable, necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of such Creditor hereunder has been taken. Additionally, the execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement will not result in any material violation or default of any term of any of Creditors’ charter, formation or other organizational documents (such as Articles or Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, etc.), as applicable.
10. If, at any time after payment in full of the Senior Debt, any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent or the Fall 2009 Purchasers for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of a Borrower), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made, and each Creditor shall immediately pay over to the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent, for payment to the Fall 2009 Purchasers, all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to any Creditor, the Fall 2009 Purchasers may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as the Fall 2009 Purchasers, in their sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, increasing the amount due, extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against a Borrower or any other person. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent’s or the Fall 2009 Purchasers’ rights hereunder.
5
11. This Agreement shall bind any successors, heirs and assignees of the Creditors and shall benefit any heirs and assigns of the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent and the Fall 2009 Purchasers. This Agreement shall remain effective until such time as the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full. None of the Creditors shall be entitled to assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent, and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Creditor without such consent shall be null and void. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Creditors, on the one hand, and the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent and the Fall 2009 Purchasers, on the other hand, and not for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other party.
12. Each Creditor hereby agrees to execute such documents and/or take such further action as the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, ratifications and confirmations of this Agreement from time to time hereafter, as and when requested by the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent.
13. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
14. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of New York. Each of the Creditors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and such Creditor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the Creditors agrees 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. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Fall 2009 Collateral Agent or the Fall 2009 Purchasers may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against such Creditor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each of the Creditors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in this Section. Each of the Creditors hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the Creditors hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to claim immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any court, from attachment prior to, or in aid of execution of, a judgment, or from execution of a judgment.
15. EACH OF THE CREDITORS HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE COLLATERAL OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
6
OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

EXHIBIT G
APPOINTMENT OF AGENT BY INDIVIDUALS IN NEW YORK
Effective September 1, 2009, the New York General Obligations Law requires that a power of attorney executed by an individual in the State of New York (regardless of where that individual resides) must contain certain wording provided in Section 5-1513 of the General Obligations Law. While the Borrowers and the Agent do not think that the changes in the law were intended to cover commercial transactions such as the one contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, in order to fully comply with existing law, all individuals (not entities) executing the Note Purchase Agreement in the State of New York must also execute the following power of attorney.
Reference is made to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2009 (the “Agreement”), by and between by and among Xplore Technologies Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), Xplore Technologies Corporation of America, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Subsidiary” and collectively with the Parent, the “Borrowers”), and the purchasers listed on Schedule I hereto, each of which is herein referred to as an “Initial Purchaser” and the purchasers listed from time to time on Schedule II hereto, each of which is herein referred to as an “Additional Purchaser”, and collectively, as the “Purchasers”. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Note Purchase Agreement.
(a) CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As the “principal,” you give the person whom you choose (your “agent”) authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not lose your authority to act even though you have given your agent similar authority.
When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in your best interest. “Important Information for the Agent” at the end of this document describes your agent’s responsibilities.
Your agent can act on your behalf only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public.
You can request information from your agent at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where your accounts are located.
You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly.
Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may execute a “Health Care Proxy” to do this.
The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites, xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx or xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx.
If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.
(b) DESIGNATION OF AGENT:
I, , hereby irrevocably appoint:
[name and address of principal]
SG Phoenix LLC, 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, as my agent
(c) This POWER OF ATTORNEY shall not be affected by my subsequent incapacity.
(d) This POWER OF ATTORNEY DOES NOT REVOKE any prior Powers of Attorney executed by me.
(e) This POWER OF ATTORNEY SHALL NOT BE REVOKED by any subsequent Powers of Attorney unless the revocation is expressly provided for in such Powers of Attorney executed by me.
(f) GRANT OF AUTHORITY:
I grant authority to my agent in my name and on my behalf to execute, deliver, amend, waive, terminate or otherwise modify any Loan Document, subject to Section 11.18(b) of the Agreement, and exercise all rights and powers granted to me as a Purchaser, and/or the agent, acting on behalf of the me or the other Purchasers, under the Agreement and the Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto (including entering into any amendment, waiver or modification subject to Section 11.18(b)), and (ii) to hold, dispose, or otherwise deal with the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) for its own benefit and the pro rata benefit of the Purchasers, subject to the terms and conditions of the obligations of the agent as provided in the Agreement and in the Loan Documents.
(g) TERMINATION: This Power of Attorney continues until I revoke it or it is terminated by my death or other event described in section 5-1511 of the General Obligations Law.
Section 5-1511 of the General Obligations Law describes the manner in which you may revoke your Power of Attorney, and the events which terminate the Power of Attorney.

(i) IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT:
When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney, a special legal relationship is created between you and the principal. This relationship imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is terminated or revoked. You must:
(1) act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where there are no instructions, in the principal’s best interest;
(2) avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the principal’s best interest;
(3) keep the principal’s property separate and distinct from any assets you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;
(4) keep a record or all receipts, payments, and transactions conducted for the principal; and
(5) disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing the principal’s name and signing your own name as “agent” in either of the following manner: (Principal’s Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature) as Agent for (Principal’s Name).
You may not use the principal’s assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you that authority in this Power of Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider attached to this Power of Attorney. If you have that authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such instructions, in the principal’s best interest. You may resign by giving written notice to the principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has been named in this document, or the principal’s guardian if one has been appointed. If there is anything about this document or your responsibilities that you do not understand, you should seek legal advice.
Liability of agent:
The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York’s General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. If it is found that you have violated the law or acted outside the authority granted to you in the Power of Attorney, you may be liable under the law for your violation.
(j) AGENT’S SIGNATURE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF APPOINTMENT: It is not required that the principal and the agent(s) sign at the same time, nor that multiple agents sign at the same time.
SG Phoenix LLC has read the foregoing Power of Attorney. It is the person identified therein as agent for the principal named therein.
It acknowledges its legal responsibilities.
