(f) Government Contracts. If any Account or Chattel Paper arises out of a contract or contracts with the United States of America or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, the Grantors shall promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days of the creation thereof) notify the Agent thereof in writing and execute any instruments or take any steps necessary in order that all moneys due or to become due under such contract or contracts shall be assigned to the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), and shall provide written notice thereof under the Assignment of Claims Act or other applicable Law.

(g) Intellectual Property.

(i) In order to facilitate filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office or any other applicable Governmental Authority, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Agent one or more Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, or Patent Security Agreements to further evidence the Agent’s Liens on such Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks, or Copyrights, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

Each Grantor shall promptly file an application with the United States Copyright Office for any Copyright that has not been registered with the United States Copyright Office if such Copyright is necessary in connection with the operation of such Grantor’s business. Any expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing shall be borne by the appropriate Grantor. Each Grantor further agrees not to abandon any Trademark, Patent, Copyright, or Intellectual Property License that is necessary or economically desirable in the operation of such Grantor’s business;

(iii) The Grantors acknowledge and agree that the Agent shall have no duties with respect to the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Intellectual Property Licenses. Without limiting the generality of this Section 6(g), the Grantors acknowledge and agree that the Agent and each Secured Party shall not be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Intellectual Property Licenses against any other Person, but the Agent may do so at its option from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be for the sole account of the Grantors and shall be deemed to be Secured Obligations; and

(iv) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee, file an application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark, or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving the Agent prior written notice thereof.

(ii) All sums of money and property paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Related Property that are received by any Grantor shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the benefit of the Agent segregated from such Grantor’s other property, and such Grantor shall deliver it forthwith to the Agent in the exact form received;

(iii) Each Grantor shall promptly deliver to the Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it in respect of any Pledged Interests;

(iv) No Grantor shall make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Interests, Pledged Operating Agreement, or Pledged Partnership Agreement, or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Interests other than pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;

(i) Transfers and Other Liens. Grantors shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of any of Grantors, except for Permitted Liens. The inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral shall not be deemed to constitute consent by the Agent to any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.

(j) Other Actions as to Any and All Collateral. Each Grantor shall promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days of acquiring or obtaining such Collateral) notify the Agent in writing upon (i) acquiring or otherwise obtaining any Collateral after the date hereof consisting of Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, Intellectual Property Licenses, Investment Related Property, Chattel Paper (electronic, tangible or otherwise), Documents (as defined in Article 9 of the Code), Promissory notes (as defined in the Code), or Instruments (as defined in the Code) or (ii) any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral being or becoming evidenced after the date hereof by any Chattel Paper, documents, promissory notes, or instruments and, in each such case, promptly execute such other documents, or if applicable, deliver such Chattel Paper, other documents or certificates evidencing any Investment Related Property and do such other acts or things necessary or desirable to protect the Agent and Secured Parties’ Security Interests therein.

The provisions of the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, and Patent Security Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements or the Patent Security Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Agent hereunder.

9. Further Assurances.

(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary and that the Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interests granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Agent and the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral.

(b) Each Grantor authorizes the filing by the Agent of financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such Grantor will execute and deliver to the Agent such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary and as the Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the Security Interests granted or purported to be granted hereby.

(c) Each Grantor authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments (i) describing the Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (ii) describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, or (iii) that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance. Each Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or amendments previously filed by the Agent in any jurisdiction.

(d) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without first notifying the Agent of such filing and then having received the prior written consent of the Agent, subject to such Grantor's rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.

10. Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent (a) may, but shall not be required to, proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses in connection with the enforcement of the Secured Party and the Agent’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to request that any Stock that is pledged hereunder be registered in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees.

11. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent its attorney-in-fact at the time of the execution of this Agreement. The Agent shall have full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with any Collateral of such Grantor;

(b) to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor to that of the Agent;

(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Agent and the Secured Parties with respect to any of the Collateral;

(e) to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor;

(f) to use any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, advertising matter or other industrial or intellectual property rights, in advertising for sale and selling Inventory and other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and

(g) The Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name but for the benefit of the Secured Parties to enforce the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if the Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of the Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by the Agent in aid of such enforcement.

To the extent permitted by Law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.

12. Agent May Perform. If any of Grantors fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Agent may itself, but shall not be required to, perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors.

13. Agent’s Duties; Bailee for Perfection. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent in favor of any Grantor to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty to any Grantor 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. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property. The Grantors hereby agree that if the Agent is in possession of any Collateral at such time as the Secured Obligations owing to the Agent and the Secured Parties have been paid in full, the Agent may re-deliver such Collateral to the applicable Grantor without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Agent.

14. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may, but shall not be required to, (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral have been assigned to the Agent or that the Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor's Secured Obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

15. Disposition of Pledged Interests by the Agent. The Pledged Interests may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Pledged Interests other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the Securities Act, each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, the Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal, state and other securities Laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if the Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, the Agent shall have the right to conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in relying upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

16. Voting Rights.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Agent may, at its option, and with 2 Business Days prior notice to any Grantor, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to the Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights and all other ownership or consensual rights in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is the Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if the Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner that the Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests that would materially adversely affect the rights of the Agent or the value of the Pledged Interests.

17. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) The Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Transaction Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, the Agent, without any demand, advertisement, or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any of Grantors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or by any other applicable Law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of the Agent, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Agent and make it available to the Secured Parties at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, at least 10 days’ notice to any of Grantors of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The 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 to which it was so adjourned.

(b) The Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, other industrial or intellectual property or any property of a similar nature, whether owned by any of Grantors or with respect to which any of Grantors have rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (but only to the extent (i) such license, sublicense or agreement does not prohibit such use by the Agent and (ii) such Grantor will not be in default under such license, sublicense, or other agreement as a result of such use by the Agent), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of the Agent.

(c) Any cash held by the Agent as Collateral and all proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 17 hereof. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

(d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. The Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each of Grantors, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantors may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Agent.

18. Application of Proceeds of Collateral. All proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent shall be applied as follows:

(a) first, ratably to pay any expenses due to the Agent and Secured Parties (including the reasonable costs and expenses of Agent’s counsel and those paid or incurred by the Agent and Secured Parties to correct any default under or enforce any provision of the Transaction Documents, or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default in gaining possession of, maintaining, handling, preserving, storing, shipping, selling, preparing for sale, or advertising to sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, irrespective of whether a sale is consummated) or indemnities then due to the Agent or the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents, until paid in full;

(b) second, ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents, until paid in full;

(c) third, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Secured Obligations then due to the Secured Parties, until paid in full;

(d) fourth, ratably to pay the principal amount of all Secured Obligations then due to the Secured Parties, until paid in full;

(e) fifth, ratably to pay any other Secured Obligations then due to the Secured Parties; and

(f) sixth, to Grantors or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable Law.

19. Marshaling. The Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any Law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Agent or any Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such Laws.

20. Indemnity and Expenses.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Secured Party from and against all claims, lawsuits, losses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

(b) The Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to the Agent all of the costs and expenses (including those of its agents and counsel) that the Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

21. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder (a) shall be given in the form and manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement and (b) shall be delivered, (i) in the case of notice to any Grantor, by delivery of such notice to the Company at the Company’s address specified in the Purchase Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by the Company in a written notice to the Agent, and (ii) in the case of notice to the Agent, by delivery of such notice to the Secured Parties, or the Agent, as applicable at its address specified in the Purchase Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by the Agent in a written notice to the Company.

22. Separate, Continuing Security Interests. This Agreement shall create a separate, continuing security interest in the Collateral in favor of the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, (b) be binding upon each of Grantors, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Secured Parties and the Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, the Security Interests granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, the Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to the Agent nor any additional loans made by the Secured Parties to any Grantor, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by any Secured Party or the Agent, nor any other act of any Secured Party or the Agent shall release any of Grantors from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by the Secured Parties and the Agent.

23. Agent. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Agent” shall be a reference to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Agent may resign or be removed as the Agent in accordance with, and subject to, Section 3.11 of the Purchase Agreement. Any successor Agent (or any Secured Party, as the case may be) shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent (or the Secured Party, as the case may be) and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as the Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of Section 3.11 of the Purchase Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.

24. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. This Agreement and any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any Law other than the Laws of the State of New York. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each Grantor irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by Law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

25. Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by an e-mail that contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes.

26. Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

27. Amendments and Waivers. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any of Grantors herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent (acting upon written instructions from the Holders holding at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent (acting upon written instructions from the Holders holding at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes) and each of Grantors to which such amendment applies.

28. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

29. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to a Secured Party or the Agent under this Agreement upon any breach or default of any Grantor shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Secured Party or the Agent nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

30. Remedies. The Agent shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies that the Agent has been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights that the Agent has under applicable Law. All remedies shall be cumulative and not alternative. Each Grantor acknowledges that in the event that it fails to perform, observe or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Agent. Each Grantor therefore agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

31. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including the exhibits attached hereto and thereto, do and will constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

32. Construction. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

33. U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Agent, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Agent. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide the Agent with such information as it may request in order for the Agent to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

34. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Agent shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

This COPYRIGHT SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Copyright Security Agreement”) is made as of March 3, 2011 by the Grantors listed on the signature pages hereof (collectively, jointly and severally, “Grantors” and each individually “Grantor”), in favor of the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) under and as defined in the below-described Security Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of March 3, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, including all schedules thereto, the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between ANTs Software inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Agent, and the Secured Parties, the Company has agreed to sell, and the Secured Parties have agreed to purchase, the Notes and the Warrants;

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Secured Parties and the Agent to enter into the Purchase Agreement and for the Secured Parties to purchase the Notes and the Warrants as provided for in the Purchase Agreement, Grantors have executed and delivered to the Agent that certain Security Agreement of even date herewith (including all annexes, exhibits or schedules thereto, as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Security Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Grantors are required to execute and deliver to the Agent this Copyright Security Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantors hereby agree as follows:

1. DEFINED TERMS. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Security Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.

2. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN COPYRIGHT COLLATERAL. Each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing first priority security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired (collectively, the “Copyright Collateral”):

(a) all of such Grantor's Copyrights and Copyright Intellectual Property Licenses to which it is a party including those referred to on Schedule I hereto;

(b) all reissues, continuations or extensions of the foregoing; and

(c) all products and proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by such Grantor against third parties for past, present or future infringement or dilution of any Copyright or any Copyright licensed under any Intellectual Property License.

3. SECURITY FOR OBLIGATIONS. This Copyright Security Agreement and the Security Interests created hereby secures the payment and performance of all the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Copyright Security Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Grantors, or any of them, to the Secured Parties, or any one of them, and the Agent, whether or not they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Grantor.

4. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The security interests granted pursuant to this Copyright Security Agreement are granted in conjunction with the security interests granted to Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) pursuant to the Security Agreement. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of each Secured Party and the Agent with respect to its security interests in the Copyright Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.

5. AUTHORIZATION TO SUPPLEMENT. The Grantors shall give the Agent prompt notice in writing of any additional copyright registrations or applications therefor after the date hereof. Grantors hereby authorize the Agent unilaterally to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule I to include any future registered copyrights or applications therefor of Grantors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this Copyright Security Agreement or amend Schedule I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from the continuing security interest of the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule I.

6. COUNTERPARTS. This Copyright Security Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by an e-mail that contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Copyright Security Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Copyright Security Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Copyright Security Agreement for all purposes.

7. CONSTRUCTION. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Copyright Security Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found. The language used herein will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
