Section 2.1 Grant and Description. In order to secure the full and complete payment and performance of the Obligations when due, the Company hereby grants to the Secured Parties, subject to the Permitted Liens, a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s rights, titles, and interests in and to the Collateral (the “Security Interest”) and subject to the Permitted Liens, pledges, collaterally transfers, and assigns the Collateral to the Secured Parties, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Security Agreement; provided, however, that each Secured Party shall subordinate from time to time upon the Company’s request its Security Interests granted in such Collateral to any Lien(s) granted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to third parties which constitutes Permitted Liens contemplated within clauses (h) through (k) of the definition of Permitted Liens. If the grant, pledge, or collateral transfer or assignment of any specific item of the Collateral is expressly prohibited by any contract or by law, then the Security Interest created hereby nonetheless remains effective to the extent allowed by such contract, the UCC or other applicable laws, but is otherwise limited by that prohibition. The Security Interest granted herein shall terminate in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof.

Section 2.2 Financing Statements; Further Assurances.

(a) The Secured Parties shall be named as the sole secured parties on any and all financing statements and security agreements filed pursuant to this Security Agreement for the ratable benefit of all of the Secured Parties, and agree that the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties are authorized to file any and all terminations of such financing statements at such time or times as it determines is appropriate pursuant to the Security Agreement.

(b) As soon as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement and upon the authorization of the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties, the Company shall:

Section 2.3 Priority. The Secured Parties hereby covenant and agree with the Company that the Company has granted and may subsequently grant, from time to time, Permitted Liens and that the security interest granted to the Secured Parties in the Collateral hereunder is (i) subordinated to the respective Permitted Liens in the Collateral that was granted and remains outstanding immediately prior to the date hereof or as contemplated in Section 2.1, above (the “Senior Permitted Liens”); (ii) senior to other Liens granted by the Company in the Collateral after the date hereof; and (iii) that as between all Secured Parties, the Security Interest granted to each Secured Party under this Security Agreement is pari passu with the Security Interests of the other Secured Parties. The priorities specified herein are applicable irrespective of the time, order or method of attachment or perfection of security interests or the time or order of filing of financing statements. The Secured Parties agree not to seek to challenge, to avoid, to subordinate or to contest or directly or indirectly to support any other Person in challenging, avoiding, subordinating or contesting in any judicial or other proceeding, including, without limitation, any proceeding involving the Company, the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of any Senior Permitted Liens in all or any part of the Collateral. The Secured Parties further covenant and agree that they shall not, and they shall not instruct, authorize or otherwise permit or consent to allowing any third party to, take any action that is in violation of, or inconsistent with, the provisions of this section.

Section 2.4 Company Remains Liable; Third Party Licensees.

(B) The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that the security interest arising hereunder in any Intellectual Property licensed by the Company to a third party in an arms-length transaction shall be subject to the rights of such third party licensee, whether such arms-length transaction is now existing or is entered into following the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement. Upon the request of the Company, the Secured Parties shall promptly provide an estoppel to such third party licensee with respect to the foregoing. The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that no security interest or right is granted by the Company in property to the extent that such property is not owned by the Company.

(a) The failure of the Company to perform or comply in a material respect with any act, duty or obligation required to be performed under this Security Agreement if such failure is not remedied within twenty (20) calendar days after the Company receives written notice of such failure from the Majority in Interest or thirty (30) calendar days after the occurrence thereof;

(b) If any of the representations or warranties of the Company set forth in this Security Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, or becomes incorrect in any material respect and, if subject to cure, is not cured within twenty (20) calendar days after the Company receives written notice thereof from the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties or within thirty (30) calendar days after the Company becomes aware, and immediately notifies the Secured Parties, of any such incorrectness;

(c) If any material portion of the Collateral shall be damaged, destroyed or otherwise lost and such damage, destruction or loss is not covered by insurance; or

(d) If an “Event of Default” as defined in the Secured Notes shall have occurred and is continuing.

Section 5.2 Rights and Remedies Upon Default. If an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties shall, at its election (but subject to Section 7 below and to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents), exercise any and all rights available to a secured party under the UCC, in addition to any and all other rights afforded by the Transaction Documents, at law, in equity, or otherwise, including, without limitation, (a) requiring the Company to assemble all or part of the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Parties at a place to be designated by the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties which is reasonably convenient to the Secured Parties and the Company, (b) surrendering any policies of insurance on all or part of the Collateral and receiving and applying the unearned premiums as a credit on the Obligation, (c) applying by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for all or part of the Collateral (and the Company hereby consents to any such appointment), (d) applying to the Obligation any cash held by Secured Parties under this Security Agreement, and (e) as legally permissible, selling, reselling, assigning and delivering or granting a license to use or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Parties’ offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties may deem commercially reasonable.

Section 5.3 Notice. Reasonable notification of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral, or reasonable notification of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be sent to the Company, the holders of Permitted Liens, and to any other person or entity entitled to notice under the UCC. It is agreed that notice sent or given not less than ten calendar days prior to the taking of the action to which the notice relates is reasonable notification and notice for the purposes of this subparagraph.

Section 5.4 Application of Proceeds. The Secured Parties shall apply the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder in the following order: first, to the payment of all expenses incurred in retaking, holding, and preparing any of the Collateral for sale(s) or other disposition, in arranging for such sale(s) or other disposition, and in actually selling or disposing of the same (all of which are part of the Obligation); second, toward repayment of amounts expended by the Secured Parties in so acting hereunder; and third, toward payment of the balance of the Obligations in the order and manner as the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties determines in its sole discretion. Any surplus remaining shall be delivered to the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. If the proceeds are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full, then the Company shall remain liable for any deficiency.

Section 5.5 Compliance with Other Laws. The Secured Parties shall comply with any applicable state or federal laws in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

SECTION VI
ADDITIONAL REMEDIES

Section 6.1 Additional Remedies. If an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Company shall:

(a) Endorse any and all documents evidencing any Collateral (other than any Collateral if and to the extent subject to the Permitted Liens) in accordance with the instructions provided by the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties, and notify any payor that said documents have been so endorsed and that all sums due and owing pursuant to them should be paid directly to such Secured Parties, or as otherwise instructed by the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties;

(b) Turn over to the Secured Parties, or as otherwise instructed by the Majority in Interest of the Secured Parties, copies of all documents evidencing any right to collection of any sums due to the Company arising from or in connection with any of the Collateral;

SECTION VII
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Termination and Release. This Security Agreement, and the Liens created by this Security Agreement shall automatically terminate in all respects upon the full and final payment by the Company of the Secured Notes or the conversion of the Secured Notes into shares of capital stock of the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Secured Notes. Further, the Liens created by this Security Agreement on any of the Collateral shall be automatically released if the Company disposes of such Collateral pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Secured Notes or otherwise consented to by the Majority in Interest. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 8.1, the Majority in Interest shall promptly execute and deliver to the Company all documents that the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.

Section 7.2 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Security Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Security Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided, that in such case the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace such provision with a new provision which is not illegal, unenforceable or void, as long as such new provision does not materially change the economic benefits of this Security Agreement to the parties.

Section 7.3 Continuing Security Interest; Successors. This Security Agreement creates a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid and performed in full or this Security Agreement is sooner terminated in accordance with Section 7.1; and (ii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Secured Parties and their successors, transferees, and assigns. Each Secured Party may assign its rights hereunder in connection with any private sale or transfer of its Secured Note in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement and applicable law, in which case the term “Secured Party” shall be deemed to refer to such transferee as though such transferee was an original signatory hereto.

Section 7.4 Governing Law. This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware.

Section 7.5 Headings. The headings used in this Security Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Security Agreement.

Section 7.6 Notices. Any notice to the Company or to a Secured Party shall be given in the manner set forth in the Exchange Agreement; provided that a Secured Party, if not a party to such Exchange Agreement, shall provide the Company with its proper delivery instructions for notices. Either party may, by notice given in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, change the address to which notices, demands and requests shall be sent to such party. Any notice to be given by the Company to the Secured Parties shall be given in the manner provided for in the Exchange Agreement, and delivered to such addresses as the Company is instructed by the Secured Parties.

Section 7.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers. This Security Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and thereof, superseding all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, between or among the parties. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Security Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by Company and the Majority in Interest, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. The Secured Parties shall not, by any act, any failure to act or any delay in acting be deemed to have (i) waived any right or remedy under this Security Agreement, or (ii) acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Security Agreement. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege of the Secured Parties under this Security Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Security Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by a Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Security Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

Section 7.8 Multiple Counterparts. This Security Agreement has been executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement; but, in making proof of this Security Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

Section 7.9 Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 7.10 Waivers. The Company acknowledges that the Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction and hereby knowingly waives any right to require the Secured Parties to (i) proceed against any person or entity, (ii) proceed against any other collateral under any other agreement, (iii) pursue any other remedy available to the Secured Parties, or (iv) make presentment, demand, dishonor, notice of dishonor, acceleration and/or notice of non-payment.

Section 7.11 Release. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment or termination of this Security Agreement or of any instrument or document executed and delivered by the Company to the Secured Parties, nor additional advances made by the Secured Parties to the Company, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral by the Secured Parties nor any other act of the Secured Parties shall release the Company from any Obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by the Majority in Interest with respect to such Obligation or upon full payment and satisfaction of all Obligations and termination of the Secured Notes. At such time the Obligations have been satisfied in full, the Majority in Interest shall execute and deliver to the Company all assignments and other instruments as may be reasonably necessary or proper to terminate the Secured Parties’ security interest in the Collateral, subject to any disposition of the Collateral that may have been made by or on behalf of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Security Agreement. For the purpose of this Security Agreement, the Obligations shall be deemed to continue if the Company enters into any bankruptcy or similar proceeding at a time when any amount paid to the Secured Parties could be ordered to be repaid as a preference or pursuant to a similar theory, and shall continue until it is finally determined that no such repayment can be ordered.

Section 7.12 Independent Representation. Each Secured Party expressly represents and warrants to the Company that (a) before executing this Agreement, such Secured Party has fully informed himself or itself of the terms, contents, conditions and effects of this Agreement; (b) such Secured Party has relied solely and completely upon his or its own judgment in executing this Agreement; (c) such Secured Party has had the opportunity to seek the advice of his or its own counsel and advisors before executing this Agreement; (d) such Secured Party has acted voluntarily and of his or its own free will in executing this Agreement; (e) such Secured Party is not acting under duress, whether economic or physical, in executing this Agreement; (f) this Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations conducted by and among the parties; and (g) such Secured Party acknowledges that the law firm of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP has been retained by the Company to prepare this Agreement as legal counsel for the Company, that Xxxxxx & Poliakoff, LLP does not represent any Secured Party in connection with the preparation or execution of this Agreement, that such firm has not given any legal, investment or tax advice to any Secured Party regarding this Agreement and that such Secured Party has not relied upon any legal advice except as provided by its own attorneys.
