(d) To the knowledge of Debtor, the conduct of the business of Debtor as currently conducted does not infringe upon, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of any third party, and, to the knowledge of Debtor, no Person is engaging in any activity that infringes, misappropriates, dilutes or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property of Debtor. To the knowledge of Debtor, no claim or litigation alleging any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation is pending or threatened in writing. To the knowledge of Debtor, no claim or litigation regarding Debtor’s ownership of any of its Intellectual Property is pending or threatened in writing.
10. Certain Covenants. During the term of this Agreement, Debtor shall:
(a) Maintain, or cause to be maintained, all items of the Collateral in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted in the case of Equipment, and pay, or cause to be paid, the costs of repairs to or maintenance of that Collateral which is of a type that could be repaired or maintained;
(b) Take all steps to preserve and protect the Collateral, including, with respect to the Intellectual Property, the filing of any renewal affidavits and applications;
(c) Not use any Collateral in material violation of law or any applicable policy of insurance;

(e) Not change its: (i) name or the name under which it does business; (ii) chief executive office; (iii) type of organization; (iv) jurisdiction of organization; or (v) other legal structure without at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Xxxxxx. Prior to effectuating any change described in the preceding sentence, Debtor shall take or cause to be taken all actions deemed by Holder to be necessary or desirable to prevent any financing or continuation statement from becoming seriously misleading or rendered ineffective, or the security interests granted herein from becoming unperfected or the relative priority thereof otherwise impaired, as a result of such removal or change.
11. Further Assurances and Protections.
(a) Debtor shall at its expense do, file, record, make, execute, and deliver all such acts, notices, instruments, statements, or other documents as Xxxxxx may request in writing to perfect, preserve, or otherwise protect the security interest and Liens of Holder in the Collateral or any part thereof or to give effect to the rights, powers, and remedies of Holder under this Agreement;
(b) Debtor will give prompt written notice to Holder of, and defend the Collateral against, any suit, action, or proceeding related to the Collateral or which could adversely affect the security interests and Xxxxx granted hereunder; and

(d) Debtor will keep the Collateral at all times insured in the ordinary course of business against risks of loss or damage by fire, theft and such other casualties as Holder may reasonably require, in each case in amounts as ordinarily insured against by other similarly situated owners in businesses similar to Debtor’s business, under such forms of policies, upon such terms, for such periods, and written by such companies or underwriters as Holder may approve, losses in all cases to be payable to Holder in accordance with this Agreement.
12. Events of Default. The occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default as defined in the Secured Note shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement.
8
13. Remedies upon an Event of Default. On and after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Holder may, in its discretion, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in any applicable jurisdiction) and all other applicable law. The proceeds of any collection, liquidation, or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied by Holder first to the payment of all expenses (including, without limitation, all fees, taxes, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Holder in connection with retaking, holding, collecting, or liquidating the Collateral. The balance of such proceeds, if any, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in the order of application set forth in Section 28(f) of this Agreement. In case of any deficiency, Debtor shall, whether or not then due, remain liable therefor. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to Debtor at its notice address specified on the signature page hereof fourteen (14) business days prior to the date of such disposition shall constitute commercially reasonable notice. Without precluding any other methods of sale or other disposition, the sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property; but in any event Holder may sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) (including Holder) as Holder in its absolute discretion may choose, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery, without assuming any credit risk, at public or private sale or other disposition without demand of performance, and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Debtor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale or other disposition hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale or other disposition, unless prohibited by applicable law, Holder may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Holder shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto.
Holder shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Agreement. Debtor hereby waives any claims against Holder arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if Holder accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
Debtor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, Holder may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the relevant Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Debtor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Holder than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Holder shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to enable the registration of the Collateral or related transaction so as to permit a public offer to be made with respect thereto;
14. Holder Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted to Holder pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law or otherwise, Debtor hereby appoints Holder as its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or otherwise, from time to time in Holder’s discretion to take any and all action and to execute, file and record any and all instruments, agreements, and documents which Holder may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to execute any assignment of Intellectual Property to Holder or other transferee, and to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made or payable to Debtor representing any Proceeds in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. The appointment set forth in this Section 14 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
9
15. Holder May Perform. If Debtor fails to perform any agreement, covenant, or obligation contained herein, Holder may itself perform, or cause performance of such agreement, covenant or obligation and the expenses and costs of Holder incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Debtor.
16. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Xxxxxx and all Liens hereunder, and all obligations of Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Secured Note or any other Transaction Document;
(b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of any or all of the Obligations or any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any Secured Note or any other Transaction Document;
(c) any release or non-perfection of any portion of the Collateral or any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release, amendment, or waiver of any guaranty for all or any of the Obligations; or
(d) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of Debtor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement, any Secured Note or any other Transaction Document.
17. Holder’s Duties. The powers conferred to Holder hereunder are solely to protect Xxxxxx’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers except for the safe custody of any Collateral or any portion thereof in its possession, and Holder shall exercise that standard of care with respect to the Collateral in its possession which it exercises in the administration of its own assets and property; provided, however, that Holder shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted with respect to the Collateral or this Agreement unless such liability results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Holder as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Holder shall have no duty as to the Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against other parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral.
18. Rights Cumulative. The rights, powers, and remedies of Holder under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers, and remedies given to Holder by virtue of any statute or rule of law or any agreement, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Holder’s security interest, Lien, and assignment in the Collateral.
10
19. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Holder shall not have any liability to any Person and shall be indemnified and held harmless by Debtor for any liability incurred by reason of taking or refraining from taking any action with respect to the Collateral, except in the case such liability results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Holder as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify Holder from and against any and all claims, losses, and liabilities arising out of or connected with this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except such claims, losses, or liabilities resulting from Xxxxxx’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 19(a) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(b) Debtor agrees to pay all documented out-of-pocket expenses, costs, and disbursements incurred by Xxxxxx (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses incurred by Holder in connection therewith) in connection with (i) retaking, holding, collecting, preparing for sale, and selling or otherwise realizing upon, liquidating, or disposing of the Collateral, (ii) the enforcement of its rights hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (iii) the performance by Xxxxxx of any agreement, covenant, or obligation of Debtor contained herein that Debtor has failed or refused to perform, and (iv) the participation or other involvement of Holder with (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure, winding up, or liquidation proceedings, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise, or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting rights and claims of Holder in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, including expenses of insurance, (B) judicial or regulatory proceedings, and (C) workout, restructuring, or other negotiations or proceedings (whether or not the workout, restructuring or transaction contemplated thereby is consummated).
20. Amendment or Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any terms hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by Debtor and Holder.
21. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and mailed or delivered: if to Debtor, at the addresses specified immediately below Debtor’s name on the signature page hereof; and if to Holder at its address specified immediately below its name on the signature page hereof; or at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto.

11
22. No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Holder in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the UCC or any other applicable law shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder or under the UCC or any other applicable law preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on Holder in any case shall entitle Debtor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Holder to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
23. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of that prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.
24. Non-Assignment. Debtor shall not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder or any part thereof to any other person without Xxxxxx’s prior written consent. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of Debtor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of Holder.

26. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.
