expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. The duties of the
Lenders’ Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the
Lenders’ Agent shall not have by reason of any Loan Document a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in any Loan Document,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose
upon the Lenders’ Agent any obligations in respect of any Loan Document,
except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges (i) that the Lenders’ Agent has not made any

independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs and its
own appraisal of the credit-worthiness of the Company in connection with
the making of the Loans hereunder; (iii) that it has made its own

herein. In the absence of instructions by the Requisite
Lenders, the Lenders’ Agent shall have authority, in its sole discretion,
to take or not to take any such action, unless the Loan Documents
specifically require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. Any
action taken pursuant to such instructions or discretion shall be binding
on all the Lenders and on all holders of Notes. No Lender shall
have any right of action whatsoever against the Lenders’ Agent as a result
of the Lenders’ Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Loan
Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or
in the absence of such instructions, in the absolute discretion of the
Lenders’ Agent except for actions resulting from gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
|

(e)
|
Neither
the Lenders’ Agent nor any of its directors, officers, partners, members,
managers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under the Loan
Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In performing
its functions and duties hereunder on behalf of the Lenders, the Lenders’
Agent shall exercise the same care which it would exercise in dealing with
loans for its own account, but it shall not (i) be responsible in any
manner to any of the Lenders for the effectiveness, enforceability,
genuineness, validity or the due execution of the Loan Documents, or for
any recital, representation, warranty, document, certificate, report or
statement herein or made or furnished under or in connection with the Loan
Documents, or (ii) be under any obligation to any of the Lenders to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on the part of the
Company, or the financial condition of the Company, or the existence or
possible existence of an event of
default.
|
(f)
|
The
Lenders’ Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, email,
telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, or order or other
document or phone conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by an
authorized person, and upon opinions of counsel and other professional
advisers selected by the Lenders’
Agent.
|
(g)
|
The
Lenders’ Agent may deem and treat any payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Lenders’
Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any legal entity
who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent
is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or
Notes issued in exchange therefor.
|
4
(h)
|
The
Lenders agree among themselves that, with respect to all amounts received
by any Lender for application on any obligation hereunder or on the Notes,
equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts
will be shared ratably among the Lenders, in proportion to the sum of the
amounts then outstanding under the Notes, whether received by voluntary
payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of
set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or any other
non-pro rata source.
|
(i)
|
The
Lenders’ Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Lenders and to the Company. Upon any such resignation, the
Lenders holding at least a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal
balance of the Loans shall have the right to appoint a successor Lenders’
Agent. If a successor Lenders’ Agent is not appointed, or has not accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Lenders’ Agent’s giving
of notice of resignation, then the retiring Lenders’ Agent may (but shall
not be required to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Lenders’ Agent which shall be a holder of one or more of the
Notes. Upon the acceptance by a successor Lenders’ Agent of its
appointment as Lenders’ Agent hereunder, such successor Lenders’ Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Lenders’ Agent, and the retiring
Lenders’ Agent shall be discharged from its duties under this
Agreement. After any retiring Lenders’ Agent’s resignation
hereunder, the provisions of this Section 4 shall inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was Lenders’ Agent under
this Agreement.
|
(j)
|
No
Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Company as a
result of the Lenders' Agent or the Company acting or refraining from
acting hereunder or under the Loan Documents in accordance with the
instructions of the Requisite Lenders or the Lenders' Agent, except for
actions resulting from gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Neither the Company nor any of its directors,
officers, partners, members, managers, employees or agents shall be liable
to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
under the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, as a
result of reliance on any request or instruction given to it or them by
Lenders' Agent, unless caused by its or their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

and Governmental Filings. The Company agrees to execute
all financing statements and other governmental filings describing the
property in which the Lenders have a security interest under the Security
Agreements. The Company irrevocably appoints the Lenders’ Agent
as its agent and attorney to execute any such financing statements and
other governmental filings in the Company’s name. The Company

others. Except as provided in license agreements entered into

knowledge, no third party has any ownership right, title, interest, claim
in or lien on any of the Proprietary Assets owned by the Company and the

(iv)
|
The
Company is not aware that any key employee or consultant of the Company is
obligated under any agreement (including licenses, covenants or
commitments of any nature) or subject to any judgment, decree or order of
any court or administrative agency, or any other restriction that would
interfere with carrying out his or her duties for the Company or to
promote the interest of the Company or that would conflict with the
Company’s business as currently conducted. The carrying on of
the Company’s business by the employees and contractors of the Company and
the conduct of the Company’s business as presently conducted, will not, to
the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any Company
Contract under which any of such key employees or contractors or the
Company is now obligated. The Company does not believe it is or
will be necessary to utilize any inventions of any employees of the

any of the Company’s Proprietary Assets to practice was any developer,
inventor or other contributor to such patents operating under any grants

research sponsored by any governmental entity or agency or private source
or subject to any employment agreement or invention assignment or
nondisclosure agreement or other obligation with any third party, in each
case that might reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company’s
rights in such Proprietary Assets.

not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company
that:
|
(a)
|
All
action, corporate or otherwise, on the part of such Lender, and its
officers, directors, and shareholders or partners, as the case may be,
necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the performance of all obligations of such Lender hereunder, has been
taken or will be taken prior to the Closing Date and this Agreement and
the Loan Documents to which such Lender is a party, when executed,
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such Lender,
enforceable against such Lender in accordance with their respective terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws and subject to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The execution
and delivery of this Agreement, including the Loan Documents to which such
Lender is a party, will not conflict with, or result in a breach of any of
the terms of, or constitute a default under, the charter, bylaws or other
organizational documents of such
Lender.

and related matters as it deems to be necessary or advisable in connection
with an investment in the Notes and the Warrants; and each Lender has

order to reach an informed decision as to the advisability of an
investment in the Notes and the
Warrants.

as not involving any public
offering.

(g)
|
It
has been advised that the Notes and the Warrants may not be sold or
offered for sale in the absence of an effective registration statement as

acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering
and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be
resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited
circumstances. Such Lender acknowledges that the securities
must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or
an exemption from such registration is available. Such Lender

permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject
to the satisfaction of certain
conditions.
