to
the terms and provisions of its contracts and documents. Secured Parties shall

business or remove such records unless the Company shall have given the Secured
Parties at least 10 days' prior written notice thereof.
6. Covenants.
The
Company covenants and agrees with the Secured Parties that from and after the
date of this Security Agreement and until the Obligations are fully
satisfied:
(a)
Further
Documentation.
At any
time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Secured Parties,
and
at the sole expense of the Company, the Company will promptly and duly execute
and deliver any and all such further documents and take such further action
as
any Secured Party may reasonably request in carrying out the terms and
conditions of this Security Agreement and the rights and powers herein granted,
including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation
statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction
with
respect to the security interests granted hereby.
15
(b)
Continuous
Perfection.
The
Company will not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner
unless the Company shall have given the Secured Parties at least 10 days' prior
written notice thereof and shall have taken all action (or made arrangements
to
take such action substantially simultaneously with such change if it is
impossible to take such action in advance) necessary or reasonably requested
by
any Secured Party to amend any financing statement or continuation statement
filed with respect to the Collateral so that it is not misleading.
(c)
Insurance.
The
Company will insure the Collateral against such risks and hazards as other
companies similarly situated insure against, in amounts and under policies
which
it currently holds and under such additional or substituted amounts or policies
as it may from time to time determine, which shall be reasonably acceptable
to
the Secured Parties (providing that no cancellation of such insurance shall
be
effective without 30 days written notice to the Secured Parties and containing
loss payable clauses to the Secured Parties as their interest may appear) and
all premiums thereon shall be paid by the Company.
7. Remedies,
Rights Upon Default.
(a)
In
addition to any other rights given to the Secured Parties hereunder, if an
Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing and any Secured Party shall have
declared the amounts owing under the Note(s) to be due and payable (or such
amounts shall have automatically, become due and payable), all payments received
by the Company under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be
subject to the subordination provisions contained in the preceding Section
2,
held by the Company in trust for the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from
other funds of the Company and shall, if requested by any Secured Party
forthwith upon receipt by the Company be turned over to the Secured Parties,
in
the same form as received by the Company (duly endorsed by the Company to the
Secured Parties, if required).
(b)
If
any
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and subject to the subordination
provisions of the preceding Section 2, any Secured Party may exercise in
addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security
Agreement or in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to the Obligations or at law or in equity, all rights and remedies
of a
secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company expressly agrees that in any such event, the Secured Parties,
without demand of performance or other demand, (except the notice specified
below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Company or
any
other person may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign,
give
option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver
said
Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels
at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange broker's board or at any
of
the Secured Parties’ offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best,
for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit
risk. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales,
to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right
or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption the Company hereby releases.
The Company further agrees, at any Secured Party’s request, to assemble the
Collateral, make it available to one or more of the Secured Parties at places
which a Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at the Company's premises
or elsewhere. The Secured Parties shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein
or
incidental to the care, safe keeping or otherwise of any or all of the
Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of the Secured Parties
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, to the
payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, the Company remaining liable
for
any deficiency remaining unpaid after the application, and only after so paying
over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Secured Parties of any
other
amount required by any provision of law. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Company waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Secured
Parties arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral.
The Company agrees that a Secured Party need not give more than 10 days notice
of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private
sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such
matters. The Company shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds
of
any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts
to
which a Secured Party is entitled.
16
(c)
The
Company hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security
Agreement or any Collateral.
8. Application
of Proceeds.
Subject
to the subordination provisions contained in the preceding Section 2, the
Proceeds of all sales and collections in respect of any Collateral shall be
applied as follows:
(a)
First,
to
the payment of the costs and expenses of such sales and collections, the
expenses of Secured Parties and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
to
the Secured Parties;
(b)
Second,
any surplus then remaining to the payment of the Obligations in such order
and
manner consistent with the provisions of Section 3 above as the Secured Parties
may in their sole discretion determine; and
(c)
Third,
any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company.
9. Limitation
on Secured Parties’ Duty in Respect of Collateral.
Beyond
the use of reasonable care in the custody thereof, no Secured Party shall have
any duty as to any Collateral in their possession or control or in the
possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or
as
to the preservation of rights against prior Secured Parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto.
10. Notices.
Any
notice, request or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall
be
in writing and shall be delivered personally or by facsimile (receipt confirmed
electronically) or shall be sent by a reputable express delivery service or

12. Severability.
Any
provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in
any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any
other jurisdiction.
18
13. No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
No
Secured Parties shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to
have
waived any of their rights or remedies hereunder and no waiver shall be valid
unless in writing, signed by the Secured Party, and then only to the extent
therein set forth. A waiver by a Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder
on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
the Secured Parties would otherwise have had on any future occasion and shall
not apply to any other Secured Party. No failure to exercise nor any delay
in
exercising on the part of a Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future
exercise thereof or the exercise or any other right, power or privilege. The
rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised
singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies
provided by law.
14. Successors
and Assigns.
This
Security Agreement and all obligations of the Company hereunder shall be binding
upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company, and shall, together
with the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder, inure to the
benefit of each of the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted
assigns; provided that the Company may not assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of the Secured
Parties.
15.
Waiver and Amendment.
None of
the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered,
modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the
Company and the Secured Party against whom such waiver, alteration, modification
or amendment is sought to be enforced.
16. Governing
Law.
This
Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
domestic laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice
of
law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California
or
any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of California.
17. Counterparts.
This
Security Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts each of which will
be an original and all of which taken together will constitute one and the
same
agreement.
18. Facsimile.
This
Security Agreement may be executed using facsimiles of signatures, and a
facsimile of a signature shall be deemed to be the same, and equally
enforceable, as an original of such signature.
19. Termination.
At such
time as the Obligations have been fully paid in cash, the security interest
created hereby shall automatically terminate, the Secured Parties shall take
all
such actions as may be requested by the Company to evidence such termination
and
to release the liens created hereby, at the Company's expense.
19
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Secured Parties hereto has caused this Security
Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of
Effective Date.

another corporation, this Warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares
of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant
would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance; and,

Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but
unissued shares of common stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
exercise of this Warrant, such number of its shares of common stock as shall
from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant; and
if
at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock shall
not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will
take
all appropriate corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of common stock to
such
number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
9. Certain
Distributions.
In case
the Company shall, at any time, prior to the Expiration Date, declare any
distribution of its assets to holders of its common stock as a partial
liquidation, distribution or by way of return of capital, other than as a
dividend payable out of earnings or any surplus legally available for dividends,
then the Holder shall be entitled, upon the proper exercise of this Warrant
in
whole prior to the effecting of such declaration, to receive, in addition to
the
shares of common stock issuable on such exercise, the amount of such assets
(or
at the option of the Company a sum equal to the value thereof at the time of
such distribution to holders of common stock as such value is determined by
the
Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable
to the Holder had it been a holder of record of such shares of common stock
on
the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled
to such distribution.
10. Dissolution
or Liquidation.
In case
the Company shall, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, dissolve, liquidate
or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall be entitled, upon the proper exercise
of this Warrant in whole and prior to any distribution associated with such
dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, to receive on such exercise, in lieu
of
the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder would have been entitled, the
same kind and amount of assets as would have been distributed or paid to the
Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, with respect to
such shares of Common Stock had the Holder been a holder of record of such
share
of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of those holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive any such dissolution, liquidation, or winding
up distribution.
11.
Reclassification
or Reorganization.
In case
of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding
shares of common stock of the Company (other than a change in par value, or
from
par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result
of
an issuance of common stock by way of dividend or other distribution or of
a
subdivision or combination), the Company shall cause effective provision to
be
made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising this
Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
and PROPERTY RECEIVABLE UPON SUCH RECLASSIFICATION, CAPITAL REORGANIZATION
OR
OTHER CHANGE, BY A HOLDER OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WHICH MIGHT
HAVE BEEN PURCHASED UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO SUCH
RECLASSIFICATION OR CHANGE. ANY SUCH PROVISION SHALL INCLUDE PROVISION FOR
ADJUSTMENTS WHICH SHALL BE AS NEARLY EQUIVALENT AS MAY BE PRACTICABLE TO THE
ADJUSTMENTS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS WARRANT. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECTION 12 SHALL SIMILARLY APPLY TO SUCCESSIVE RECLASSIFICATIONS, CAPITAL
REORGANIZATIONS AND CHANGES OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. IN THE EVENT THAT IN
ANY
SUCH CAPITAL REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, OR OTHER CHANGE, ADDITIONAL
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SHALL BE ISSUED IN EXCHANGE, CONVERSION, SUBSTITUTION
OR
PAYMENT, IN WHOLE, FOR OR OF A SECURITY OF THE COMPANY OTHER THAN COMMON STOCK,
ANY AMOUNT OF THE CONSIDERATION RECEIVED UPON THE ISSUE THEREOF BEING DETERMINED
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON THE
HOLDER.
