(h) “UCC”
means
the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and or any other applicable
law of any state or states which has jurisdiction with respect to all, or any
portion of, the Collateral or this Agreement, from time to time. It is the

their
broadest sense so that the term “Collateral” will be construed in its broadest
sense. Accordingly if there are, from time to time, changes to defined terms
in
the UCC that broaden the definitions, they are incorporated herein and if
existing definitions in the UCC are broader than the amended definitions, the
existing ones shall be controlling.

(k) Except
for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Notes), each Debtor shall at all times
maintain the liens and Security Interests provided for hereunder as valid and
perfected first priority liens and security interests in the Collateral in

to
the Agent and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices
wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Agent to be, necessary or desirable
to
effect the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Debtor shall pay all fees, taxes and other
amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interests
hereunder, and each Debtor shall obtain and furnish to the Agent from time

ordinary course of business) without the prior written consent of a Majority
in Interest.

Debtor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance
with respect to the Collateral, including Collateral hereafter acquired, against
loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured against
by
entities of established reputation having similar properties similarly situated
and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances
by
other such entities and otherwise as is prudent for entities engaged in similar
businesses but in any event sufficient to cover the full replacement cost
thereof. Each Debtor shall cause each insurance policy issued in connection
herewith to provide, and the insurer issuing such policy to certify to the
Agent
that (a) the Agent will be named as lender loss payee and additional insured
under each such insurance policy; (b) if such insurance be proposed to be
cancelled or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, such insurer will

under
the policy; and (c) the Agent will have the right (but no obligation) at its
election to remedy any default in the payment of premiums within thirty (30)
days of notice from the insurer of such default. If no Event of Default (as
defined in the Notes) exists and if the proceeds arising out of any claim or
series of related claims do not exceed $100,000, loss payments in each instance
will be applied by the applicable Debtor to the repair and/or replacement of
property with respect to which the loss was incurred to the extent reasonably
feasible, and any loss payments or the balance thereof remaining, to the extent
not so applied, shall be payable to the applicable Debtor, provided, however,
that payments received by any Debtor after an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing or in excess of $100,000 for any occurrence or series of related
occurrences shall be paid to the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and,
if
received by such Debtor, shall be held in trust for the Secured Parties and

the
Agent at least annually and at the time any new policy of insurance is
issued.

Parties’ security interest, through the Agent, therein.
(p) Each
Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Agent such further deeds,
mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements or other

Security Interests in such accounts and proceeds thereof, shall execute and
deliver to the Agent an assignment of claims for such accounts and cooperate
with the Agent in taking any other steps required, in its judgment, under the
Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar federal, state or local statute
or rule to perfect or continue the perfected status of the Security Interests
in
such accounts and proceeds thereof.
(ii)
Each
Debtor shall cause each subsidiary
of such
Debtor to immediately become a party hereto (an “Additional
Debtor”),
by
executing and delivering an Additional Debtor Joinder in substantially the
form
of Annex A attached hereto and comply with the provisions hereof applicable
to
the Debtors. Concurrent therewith, the Additional Debtor shall deliver
replacement schedules for, or supplements to all other Schedules to (or referred
to in) this Agreement, as applicable, which replacement schedules shall
supersede, or supplements shall modify, the Schedules then in effect. The
Additional Debtor shall also deliver such opinions of counsel, authorizing
resolutions, good standing certificates, incumbency certificates, organizational
documents, financing statements and other information and documentation as
the
Agent may reasonably request. Upon delivery of the foregoing to the Agent,
the
Additional Debtor shall be and become a party to this Agreement with the same
rights and obligations as the Debtors, for all purposes hereof as fully and
to
the same extent as if it were an original signatory hereto and shall be deemed
to have made the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein
as
of the date of execution and delivery of such Additional Debtor Joinder, and
all
references herein to the “Debtors” shall be deemed to include each Additional
Debtor.
10
(jj)
Each
Debtor shall vote the Pledged Securities to comply with the covenants and
agreements set forth herein and in the Notes.
(kk)
Each
Debtor shall register the pledge of the applicable Pledged Securities on the
books of such Debtor. Each Debtor shall notify each issuer of Pledged Securities
to register the pledge of the applicable Pledged Securities in the name of
the
Secured Parties on the books of such issuer. Further, except with respect to
certificated securities delivered to the Agent, the applicable Debtor shall
deliver to Agent an acknowledgement of pledge (which, where appropriate, shall
comply with the requirements of the relevant UCC with respect to perfection
by
registration) signed by the issuer of the applicable Pledged Securities, which
acknowledgement shall confirm that: (a) it has registered the pledge on its
books and records; and (b) at any time directed by Agent during the continuation
of an Event of Default, such issuer will transfer the record ownership of such
Pledged Securities into the name of any designee of Agent, will take such steps
as may be necessary to effect the transfer, and will comply with all other
instructions of Agent regarding such Pledged Securities without the further
consent of the applicable Debtor.
(ll) In
the
event that, upon an occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall sell all
or
any of the Pledged Securities to another party or parties (herein called the
“Transferee”) or shall purchase or retain all or any of the Pledged Securities,
each Debtor shall, to the extent applicable: (i) deliver to Agent or the
Transferee, as the case may be, the articles of incorporation, bylaws, minute
books, stock certificate books, corporate seals, deeds, leases, indentures,
agreements, evidences of indebtedness, books of account, financial records
and
all other Organizational Documents and records of the Debtors and their direct
and indirect subsidiaries; (ii) use its best efforts to obtain resignations
of
the persons then serving as officers and directors of the Debtors and their
direct and indirect subsidiaries, if so requested; and (iii) use its best
efforts to obtain any approvals that are required by any governmental or
regulatory body in order to permit the sale of the Pledged Securities to the
Transferee or the purchase or retention of the Pledged Securities by Agent
and
allow the Transferee or Agent to continue the business of the Debtors and their
direct and indirect subsidiaries.
(mm) Without
limiting the generality of the other obligations of the Debtors hereunder,
each
Debtor shall promptly (i) cause to be registered at the United States Copyright
Office all of its material copyrights, (ii) cause the security interest
contemplated hereby with respect to all Intellectual Property registered at
the
United States Copyright Office or United States Patent and Trademark Office
to
be duly recorded at the applicable office, and (iii) give the Agent notice
whenever it acquires (whether absolutely or by license) or creates any
additional material Intellectual Property.
(nn) Each
Debtor will from time to time, at the joint and several expense of the Debtors,
promptly execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents, and
take all such further action as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Agent
may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Parties
to
exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder and with respect to
any
Collateral or to otherwise carry out the purposes of this
Agreement.
11
(oo) Schedule
F
attached
hereto lists all of the patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, registered copyrights, and domain names owned by any of the
Debtors as of the date hereof. Schedule
F
lists
all material licenses in favor of any Debtor for the use of any patents,
trademarks, copyrights and domain names as of the date hereof. All material
patents and trademarks of the Debtors have been duly recorded at the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and all material copyrights of the Debtors
have been duly recorded at the United States Copyright Office.
(pp)
Except
as
set forth on Schedule
G
attached
hereto, none of the account debtors or other persons or entities obligated
on
any of the Collateral is a governmental authority covered by the Federal
Assignment of Claims Act or any similar federal, state or local statute or
rule
in respect of such Collateral.
5. Effect
of Pledge on Certain Rights. If
any of
the Collateral subject to this Agreement consists of nonvoting equity or
ownership interests (regardless of class, designation, preference or rights)
that may be converted into voting equity or ownership interests upon the
occurrence of certain events (including, without limitation, upon the transfer
of all or any of the other stock or assets of the issuer), it is agreed that
the
pledge of such equity or ownership interests pursuant to this Agreement or
the
enforcement of any of Agent’s rights hereunder shall not be deemed to be the
type of event which would trigger such conversion rights notwithstanding any
provisions in the Organizational Documents or agreements to which any Debtor
is
subject or to which any Debtor is party.
6. Defaults.
The
following events shall be “Events
of Default”:
(a) The
occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) under the
Notes;
(b) Any
representation or warranty of any Debtor in this Agreement shall prove to have
been incorrect in any material respect when made;
(c) The
failure by any Debtor to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder
for
five (5) days after delivery to such Debtor of notice of such failure by or
on
behalf of a Secured Party; or
(d) If
any
provision of this Agreement shall at any time for any reason be declared to
be
null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested
by
any Debtor, or a proceeding shall be commenced by any Debtor, or by any
governmental authority having jurisdiction over any Debtor, seeking to establish
the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or any Debtor shall deny that any
Debtor has any liability or obligation purported to be created under this
Agreement.
7. Duty
To Hold In Trust.
12
(a) Upon
the
occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, each Debtor
shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income,
dividend, interest
or other
sums subject to the Security Interests, whether payable pursuant to the Notes
or
otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument
evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the
Secured Parties and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or
instruments, or both, to the Secured Parties, pro-rata in proportion to their
respective then-currently outstanding principal amount of Notes for application
to the satisfaction of the Obligations (and if any Debenture is not outstanding,
pro-rata in proportion to the initial purchases of the remaining Notes).
(b) If
any
Debtor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any securities or
other
property (including, without limitation, shares of Pledged Securities or
instruments representing Pledged Securities acquired after the date hereof,
or
any options, warrants, rights or other similar property or certificates
representing a dividend, or any distribution in connection with any
recapitalization, reclassification or increase or reduction of capital, or
issued in connection with any reorganization of such Debtor or any of its direct
or indirect subsidiaries) in respect of the Pledged Securities (whether as
an
addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, such Pledged Securities
or
otherwise), such Debtor agrees to (i) accept the same as the agent of the
Secured Parties; (ii) hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit
of
the Secured Parties; and (iii) to deliver any and all certificates or
instruments evidencing the same to Agent on or before the close of business
on
the fifth business day following the receipt thereof by such Debtor, in the
exact form received together with the Necessary Endorsements, to be held by
Agent subject to the terms of this Agreement as Collateral.
8. Rights
and Remedies Upon Default.
(a) Upon
the
occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured
Parties, acting through the Agent, shall have the right to exercise all of
the
remedies conferred hereunder and under the Notes, and the Secured Parties shall
have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without
limitation, the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have the
following rights and powers:
(i)
The
Agent
shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose,
enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises where the
Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and
each Debtor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent
at
places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Debtor's
premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Agent, without rent, all of
such Debtor’s respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Agent
taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or
disposable form.
(ii)
Upon
notice to the Debtors by Agent, all rights of each Debtor to exercise the voting
and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise
and
all rights of each Debtor to receive the dividends and interest which it would
otherwise be authorized to receive and retain, shall cease. Upon such notice,
Agent shall have the right to receive, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
any interest, cash dividends or other payments on the Collateral and, at the
option of Agent, to exercise in such Agent’s discretion all voting rights
pertaining thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise all rights with
respect to the Collateral as it were the sole and absolute owner thereof,
including, without limitation, to vote and/or to exchange, at its sole
discretion, any or all of the Collateral in connection with a merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other readjustment concerning
or involving the Collateral or any Debtor or any of its direct or indirect
subsidiaries.
13
(iii) The
Agent
shall have the right to operate the business of each Debtor using the Collateral
and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and
deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or
otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash
or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such
time
or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as
the
Agent may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required
by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or
notice to any Debtor or right of redemption of a Debtor, which are hereby
expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer
of
Collateral, the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may, unless
prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part
of
the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims,
right
of redemption and equities of any Debtor, which are hereby waived and
released.
(iv) The
Agent
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify any account debtors
and
any obligors under instruments or accounts to make payments directly to the
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and to enforce the Debtors’ rights
against such account debtors and obligors.
(v) The
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may (but is not obligated to)
direct any financial intermediary or any other person or entity holding any
investment property to transfer the same to the Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, or its designee.
(vi) The
Agent
may (but is not obligated to) transfer any or all Intellectual Property
registered in the name of any Debtor at the United States Patent and Trademark
Office and/or Copyright Office into the name of the Secured Parties or any
designee or any purchaser of any Collateral.
(b) The
Agent
shall comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of
Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Agent may sell
the
Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such
warranties. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Debtors
will
only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser. In addition,
each
Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in
advance of the enforcement of any of the Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder,
including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take
immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies
with respect thereto.
(c) For
the
purpose of enabling the Agent to further exercise rights and remedies under
this
Section 8 or elsewhere provided by agreement or applicable law, each Debtor
hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured
Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment
of
royalty or other compensation to such Debtor) to use, license or sublicense
following an Event of Default, any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Debtor, and wherever the same may be located, and including
in
such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof.
14
9. Applications
of Proceeds.
The
proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral
hereunder or from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring
any
portion of the Collateral shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking,
holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like
(including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in
connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the Agent in enforcing the Secured Parties’ rights
hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the
Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations pro rata among the
Secured Parties (based on then-outstanding amounts of the Obligations at the
time of any such determination), and to the payment of any other amounts
required by applicable law, after which the Secured Parties shall pay to the
applicable Debtor any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other
disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay
all
amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Debtors will
be
liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 18%
per annum or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”),
and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Parties to
collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor
waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Parties arising
out
of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due
solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Parties
as
determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
10.
Securities
Law Provision.
Each
Debtor recognizes that Agent may be limited in its ability to effect a sale
to
the public of all or part of the Pledged Securities by reason of certain
prohibitions in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other federal or
state securities laws (collectively, the “Securities Laws”), and may be
compelled to resort to one or more sales to a restricted group of purchasers
who
may be required to agree to acquire the Pledged Securities for their own
account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Each Debtor agrees that sales so made may be at prices and on terms
less favorable than if the Pledged Securities were sold to the public, and
that
Agent has no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Securities for the
period of time necessary to register the Pledged Securities for sale to the
public under the Securities Laws. Each Debtor shall cooperate with Agent in
its
attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws (including,
without limitation, registration thereunder if requested by Agent) applicable
to
the sale of the Pledged Securities by Agent.
11.
Costs
and Expenses.
Each
Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses
incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without
limitation, any financing statements pursuant to the UCC, continuation
statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto
or
any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Agent. The Debtors
shall
also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the
Agent is reasonably likely to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the
Collateral or the Security Interests therein. The Debtors will also, upon
demand, pay to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses,
including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts
and
agents, which the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may incur
in
connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or
preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon,
any
of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights
of
the Secured Parties under the Notes. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder
shall be added to the principal amount of the Notes and shall bear interest
at
the Default Rate.
15
12.
Responsibility
for Collateral.
The
Debtors assume all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all
Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by
reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or
its
unavailability for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) neither the Agent nor any Secured Party (i) has any duty (either before
or
after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral
or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral, or (ii) has any obligation
to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and (b) each Debtor
shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included
in
the Collateral to be observed or performed by such Debtor thereunder. Neither
the Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under
any
such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or
the
receipt by the Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to any of
the
Collateral, nor shall the Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner
to perform any of the obligations of any Debtor under or pursuant to any such
contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any
payment received by the Agent or any Secured Party in respect of the Collateral
or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract
or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any
performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent or any Secured Party may be entitled
at any time or times.
13.
Security
Interests Absolute.
All
rights of the Secured Parties and all obligations of the Debtors hereunder,
shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity
or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or any agreement entered into
in
connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change
in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other
term
of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to any departure from the Notes or any other agreement entered into
in
connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of
any
of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other collateral for, or any guarantee, or any other
security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured
Parties to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any
insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral;
or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or
equitable defense available to a Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part
of
the Security Interests granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been
paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Parties shall continue
even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without
limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. Each Debtor
expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of
nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any
transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Parties
hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction
to
have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy
or
insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due
to
any party other than the Secured Parties, then, in any such event, each Debtor’s
obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall
not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation
of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable
in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Each Debtor waives all
right
to require the Secured Parties to proceed against any other person or
entity
or
to
apply
any Collateral which the Secured Parties may hold at any time, or to marshal
assets, or to pursue any other remedy. Each Debtor waives any defense arising
by
reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation
secured hereby.
16
14.
Term
of Agreement.
This
Agreement and the Security Interests shall terminate on the date on which all
payments under the Notes have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other
Obligations have been paid or discharged; provided, however, that all
indemnities of the Debtors contained in this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Annex B hereto) shall survive and remain operative and in full
force
and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.
15.
Power
of Attorney; Further Assurances.
(a) Each
Debtor authorizes the Agent, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint the
Agent and its officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of
substitution, as such Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in
the name of the Agent or such Debtor, to, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any note, checks, drafts, money
orders or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or
in
respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come
into possession of the Agent; (ii) to sign and endorse any financing statement
pursuant to the UCC or any invoice, freight or express xxxx, xxxx of lading,
storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents
relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security
interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened
against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle
and xxx for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (v) to transfer any
Intellectual Property or provide licenses respecting any Intellectual Property;
and (vi) generally, at the option of the Agent, and at the expense of the
Debtors, at any time, or from time to time, to execute and deliver any and
all
documents and instruments and to do all acts and things which the Agent deems
necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security
Interests granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement and
the Notes all as fully and effectually as the Debtors might or could do; and
each Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause
to
be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest
and
shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long
as
any of the Obligations shall be outstanding. The
designation set forth herein shall be deemed to amend and supersede any
inconsistent provision in the Organizational Documents or other documents or
agreements to which any Debtor is subject or to which any Debtor is a party.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Secured Party is specifically
authorized to execute and file any applications for or instruments of transfer
and assignment of any patents, trademarks, copyrights or other Intellectual
Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
States Copyright Office.
(b) On
a
continuing basis, each Debtor will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file
and
record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording agencies in
any
jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on
Schedule
C
attached
hereto, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably be
deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the Agent, to
perfect the Security Interests granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out
the
intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the
Agent the grant or perfection of a perfected security interest in all the
Collateral under the UCC.
(c) Each
Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as such Debtor’s attorney-in-fact,
with full authority in the place and instead of such Debtor and in the name
of
such Debtor, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion, to take any action and
to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the filing, in its sole
discretion, of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments
thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of such Debtor
where permitted by law, which financing statements may (but need not) describe
the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” or words of like
import, and ratifies all such actions taken by the Agent. This power of attorney
is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this
Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be
outstanding.
17
16.
Notices.
All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be
subject to the notice provision of the Subscription Agreement (as such term
is
defined in the Notes).
17.
Other
Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by
property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property
of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, then the Agent shall
have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate,
modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way
modifying or affecting any of the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies
hereunder.
18.
Appointment
of Agent.
The
Secured Parties hereby appoint S. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX to act as their agent
(“Xxxxxxx”
or
“Agent”)
for
purposes of exercising any and all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties
hereunder. Such appointment shall continue until revoked in writing by a
Majority
in Interest, at which time a Majority in Interest
shall
appoint a new Agent, provided that Xxxxxxx may not be removed as Agent unless
LONGVIEW FUND, L.P. shall then hold less than $75,000 in principal amount of
Notes;
provided,
further,
that
such removal may occur only if each of the other Secured Parties shall then
hold
not less than an aggregate of $250,000 in principal amount of Notes.
The
Agent
shall have the rights, responsibilities and immunities set forth in Annex
B
hereto.
19.
Miscellaneous.
(a) No
course
of dealing between the Debtors and the Secured Parties, nor any failure to
exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Parties,
any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(b) All
of
the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral,
whether established hereby or by the Notes or by any other agreements,
instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singly or concurrently.
(c) This
Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, contain the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect
to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this
Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto. No provision of this Agreement
may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument
signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Debtors and the Secured Parties
or,
in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such
waived provision is sought.
18
(d) If
any
term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court
of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may
be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(e) No
waiver
of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver
of
any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or
requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise
any
right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right.
(f) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their successors and permitted assigns. The Company and the Guarantors may
not
assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Secured Party (other than by merger). Any Secured Party
may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom
such Secured Party assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee
agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities,
by
the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Secured
Parties.”
(g) Each
party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further
documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the
provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
(h) All
questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with
the

FORM
OF

Security
Agreement dated as of August ___, 2006 made by Oxford

favor of the

Reference

The
undersigned hereby agrees that upon delivery of this Additional Debtor Joinder
to the Secured Parties referred to above, the undersigned shall (a) be an
Additional Debtor under the Security Agreement, (b) have all the rights and
obligations of the Debtors under the Security Agreement as fully and to the
same
extent as if the undersigned was an original signatory thereto and (c) be deemed
to have made the representations and warranties set forth therein as of the
date
of execution and delivery of this Additional Debtor Joinder. WITHOUT LIMITING
THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THE UNDERSIGNED SPECIFICALLY GRANTS TO THE
SECURED PARTIES A SECURITY INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL AS MORE FULLY SET FORTH

ANNEX
B
to
SECURITY
AGREEMENT
THE
AGENT
1.
Appointment. The
Secured Parties (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the respective meanings provided in the Security Agreement to which
this Annex B is attached (the "Agreement")),
by
their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby designate Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”
or
“Agent”)
as the
Agent to act as specified herein and in the Agreement. Each Secured Party shall
be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agent to take such action on its behalf
under the provisions of the Agreement and any other Transaction Document (as
such term is defined in the Notes) and to exercise such powers and to perform
such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or
required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers
as
are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties
hereunder by or through its agents or employees.
2.
Nature
of Duties.
The
Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth
in the Agreement. Neither the Agent nor any of its partners, members,
shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for
any
action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or in
connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any
oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely
by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final
judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.
The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the
Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Transaction
Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Debtor or any Secured Party;
and nothing in the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent
any
obligations in respect of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except
as expressly set forth herein and therein.
3.
Lack
of Reliance on the Agent.
Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each Secured Party, to the
extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company
and its subsidiaries in connection with such Secured Party’s investment in the
Debtors, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the taking or not taking of
any
action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the
Collateral from time to time, and the Agent shall have no duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any
Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto,
whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or at
any
time or times thereafter. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Debtors
or
any Secured Party for any recitals, statements, information, representations
or
warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered
in
connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the financial condition
of
the Debtors or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make any
inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions or conditions of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
or
the financial condition of the Debtors, or the value of any of the Collateral,
or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under
the Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents.
4.
Certain
Rights of the Agent.
The
Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral,
on
behalf of all of the Secured Parties. To the extent practical, the Agent shall
request instructions from the Secured Parties with respect to any material
act
or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement or any
other Transaction Document, and shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting
in accordance with the instructions of Secured Parties holding a majority in
principal amount of Notes (based on then-outstanding principal amounts of Notes
at the time of any such determination); if such instructions are not provided
despite the Agent’s request therefor, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain
from such act or taking such action, and if such action is taken, shall be
entitled to appropriate indemnification from the Secured Parties in respect
of
actions to be taken by the Agent; and the Agent shall not incur liability to
any
person or entity by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing,
(a)
no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent
as
a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and the
Debtors shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the
instructions given to, the Agent pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Agent
shall not be required to take any action which the Agent believes (i) could
reasonably be expected to expose it to personal liability or (ii) is contrary
to
this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or applicable law.
5.
Reliance.
The
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or
telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone
message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect
to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it
and
upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected
by
it. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent shall have no obligation
whatsoever to any Secured Party to assure that the Collateral exists or is
owned
by the Debtors or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted
pursuant to the Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully
created, perfected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular
priority.
6.
Indemnification.
To the
extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Debtors, the
Secured Parties will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Agent,
in
proportion to their initially purchased respective principal amounts of Notes,
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement
or
any other Transaction Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of
the
Agreement or any other Transaction Document except for those determined by
a
final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Agent's own gross negligence
or
willful misconduct. Prior to taking any action hereunder as Agent, the Agent
may
require each Secured Party to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines
in good faith is necessary to protect the Agent for costs and expenses
associated with taking such action.
7.
Resignation
by the Agent.
(a)
The
Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under
the
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving 30 days'
prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Debtors and the
Secured Parties. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of
a
successor Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.
(b)
Upon
any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting by a Majority
in Interest,
shall
appoint a successor Agent hereunder.
(c)
If a
successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30-day period,
the
Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such
time, if any, as the Secured Parties appoint a successor Agent as provided
above. If a successor Agent has not been appointed within such 30-day period,
the Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead
the
Debtors and the Secured Parties in a proceeding for the appointment of a
successor Agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary
fees
associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith,
shall be payable by the Debtors on demand.
8.
Rights
with respect to Collateral.
Each
Secured Party agrees with all other Secured Parties and the Agent (i) that
it
shall not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to its
security interest in the Collateral, whether pursuant to any other agreement
or
otherwise (other than pursuant to this Agreement), or take or institute any
action against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in respect of
the
Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than any such action arising from
the
breach of this Agreement) and (ii) that such Secured Party has no other rights
with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth in this Agreement and
the
other Transaction Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed
to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or
removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of the Agreement including this
Annex
B shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by
it while it was Agent.
