collateral in which the Secured Parties are granted a security interest by this
Agreement and which shall include all the Debtors’ Patents, whether
presently owned or existing or hereafter acquired or coming into existence,
wherever situated, and all additions and accessions thereto and all
substitutions and replacements thereof, and all proceeds, profits, products and
accounts thereof, including without limitation all proceeds from the sale or
transfer of the Collateral and of insurance or under any indemnity, warranty or

limitation and all
files, records, books, ledger cards, correspondence, computer programs, tapes,

that at any time evidence or contain information relating to any of the Patents
or are otherwise necessary or helpful in the collection thereof or realization
thereupon;
(b) “Obligations” means
all of the liabilities and obligations (primary, secondary, direct,
contingent, sole, joint or several) due or to become due, or that are now or may
be hereafter contracted or acquired, or owing to, of any Debtor to the Secured
Parties either (i) under this Agreement, the Note, the Guarantee, the other
Transaction Documents and any other instruments, agreements or other documents
executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith (other than
the Warrants (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)), or (ii) related to any
other liabilities or obligations associated with any indebtedness for borrowed
money from any Secured Party to any Debtor, in each case, whether now or
hereafter existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others,
and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later
increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or
liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is
avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from any of the Secured Parties as a
preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise as such obligations may be
amended, supplemented, converted, extended or modified from time to
time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term
“Obligations” shall include, without limitation: (i) principal of and interest
on the Note and the loans extended pursuant thereto; (ii) any and all other
fees, indemnities, costs, obligations and liabilities of the Debtors from time
to time under or in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the

agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith
or therewith (other than the Warrants); and (iii) all amounts (including
but not limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the foregoing that
would be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay such amounts are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Debtor.
(c) “Patents” means the

Purchase Agreement.
(f) “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 intent of the parties that defined terms in the UCC should be construed in
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.
2. Grant of Security Interest in Collateral. As an
inducement for the Secured Parties to extend the loans as evidenced by the Note
and to secure the complete and timely payment, performance and discharge in
full, as the case may be, of all of the Obligations, each Debtor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably pledges, grants and hypothecates to the Secured
Parties a first priority security interest in and to, a lien upon and a right of
set-off against all of their respective right, title and interest of whatsoever
kind and nature in and to, the Collateral (a “Security Interest”
and, collectively, the “Security
Interests”).
3. Delivery of Patent Filings. Contemporaneously or prior to the execution
of this Agreement, each Debtor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Agent copies of all Patents (issued and
applied for).
4. Representations, Warranties, Covenants and
Agreements of the Debtors. Except as set forth under the corresponding
section of the disclosure schedules delivered to the Secured Parties
concurrently herewith (the “Disclosure
Schedules”), which Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed a part hereof,
each Debtor represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the
Secured Parties as follows:
(a) Each
Debtor has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or
other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by
each Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Debtor and no
further action is required by such Debtor. This Agreement has been
duly executed by each Debtor. This Agreement constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of each Debtor, enforceable against each Debtor in
accordance with its terms.
4
(b) The
Debtors have no place of business or offices where their respective books of
account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its
attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located,
except as set forth on Schedule A attached
hereto. Except as disclosed on Schedule A, none of
such Collateral is in the possession of any consignee, bailee, warehouseman,
agent or processor.
(c) The
Debtors are the sole owner of the Collateral, free and clear of any liens,
security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and are fully authorized to
grant the Security Interests. There is not on file in any
governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective
financing statement, security agreement, license or transfer or any notice of
any of the foregoing (other than those that will be filed in favor of the
Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting any of the
Collateral. As long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Debtors
shall not execute and shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such
office or agency any other financing statement or other document or instrument
(except to the extent filed or recorded in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement).
(d) No
written claim has been received that any Collateral or Debtor's use of any
Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no
adverse decision to any Debtor's claim of ownership rights in or exclusive
rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to any Debtor's right to
keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no
proceeding involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of any
Debtor, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory
agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e) Each
Debtor shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to
the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the
locations set forth on Schedule A attached
hereto and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible
Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Parties at least 30 days prior to
such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location
thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that
appropriate financing statements under the UCC and other necessary documents
have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the
Security Interests to create in favor of the Secured Parties a valid, perfected
and continuing first priority lien in all the Collateral.
(f) This
Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Parties a valid security interest
in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens (as defined in the Note)
securing the payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon making
the filings described in the immediately following paragraph, all security
interests created hereunder in any Collateral which may be perfected by filing
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements shall have been duly
perfected. Except for the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements referred to in the immediately following paragraph and the
recordation of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (as defined below)
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, no further action is necessary to create,
perfect or protect the security interests created hereunder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by all (100%) of the Secured Parties, the filing of said
financing statements and the recordation of said Intellectual Property Security
Agreement, no consent of any third parties and no authorization, approval or
other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or
regulatory body is required for (i) the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement, (ii) the creation or perfection of the Security Interests
created hereunder in the Collateral, or (iii) the enforcement of the rights of
the Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder.
5
(g) The
Debtor hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing statements
under the UCC, with respect to the Security Interests, with the proper filing
and recording agencies in any jurisdiction deemed proper by it.
(h) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Debtors does not
(i) violate any of the provisions of any Organizational Documents of any Debtor
or any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or
arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to any Debtor or
(ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or
lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing any Debtor's debt or otherwise) or other understanding to
which any Debtor is a party or by which any property or asset of any Debtor is
bound or affected. All required consents (including without
limitation from stockholders or creditors of any Debtor) necessary for any
Debtor to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder have been
obtained.
(i) Until
this Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder shall be terminated pursuant
to the terms hereof, each Debtor shall at all times maintain in favor of the
Secured Parties the liens and Security Interests provided for hereunder as valid
and perfected first priority liens and security interests in all the
Collateral. Each Debtor hereby agrees to defend the same against the
claims of any and all persons and entities. Each Debtor shall safeguard
and protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured Parties. At
the request of the Agent, each Debtor will sign and deliver to the Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties at any time or from time to time one or more
financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably satisfactory 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 to
time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and liens which
may be required to maintain the priority of the Security Interests
hereunder.
(j) No
Debtor will transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license, sell or otherwise
dispose of any of the Collateral (except for licenses granted by a Debtor in its
ordinary course of business) without the prior written consent of all the
Secured Parties.
(k) Each
Debtor shall promptly, but no later than ten (10) days after obtaining knowledge
thereof, advise the Secured Parties, through the Agent, in sufficient
detail of any change in the Collateral and of the occurrence of any event which
would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the
Secured Parties’ security interest therein.
6
(l) Each
Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Agent such further deeds,
mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements or other
instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and take such further action
as the Agent may from time to time request and may in its sole discretion deem
necessary to perfect, protect or enforce the Secured Parties’ security interest
in the Collateral including without limitation, if applicable, the execution and
delivery of a separate security agreement with respect to each Debtor’s Patents
(“Intellectual
Property Security Agreement”) in which the Secured Parties have been
granted a security interest hereunder, substantially in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Agent, which Intellectual Property Security Agreement, other
than as stated therein, shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions
hereof.
(m) Each
Debtor shall permit the Agent and its representatives and agents to inspect the
Collateral during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, and to
make copies of records pertaining to the Collateral as may be reasonably
requested by the Agent from time to time.
(n) Each
Debtor shall take all steps reasonably necessary to diligently pursue and seek
to preserve, enforce and collect any rights, claims, causes of action and
accounts receivable in respect of the Collateral.
(o) Each
Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Parties in sufficient detail upon
becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process
levied against any Collateral and of any other information received by such
Debtor that may materially affect the value of the Collateral, the Security
Interests or the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties
hereunder.
(p) All
information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Secured Parties by
or on behalf of any Debtor with respect to the Collateral is and will be
accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date
furnished.
(q) No
Debtor will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization,
organizational identification number (if it has one), legal or corporate
structure, or identity, or add any new fictitious name unless it provides at
least 30 days prior written notice to the Secured Parties of such change and, at
the time of such written notification, such Debtor provides any financing
statements necessary to perfect and continue the perfection of the Security
Interests granted and evidenced by this Agreement.
(r) No
Debtor may relocate its chief executive office to a new location without
providing 30 days prior written notification thereof to the Secured Parties and
so long as, at the time of such written notification, such Debtor provides any
financing statements necessary to perfect and continue the perfection of the
Security Interests granted and evidenced by this Agreement.
7
(s) Each
Debtor was organized and remains organized solely under the laws of the state
set forth next to such Debtor’s name in Schedule C attached
hereto, which Schedule
C sets forth each Debtor’s organizational identification number or, if
any Debtor does not have one, states that one does not exist, and identifies the
type of organization such entity is.

hereto; (ii) no Debtor has any trade names except as set forth on Schedule D attached
hereto; (iii) no Debtor has used any name other than that stated in the preamble

acquired by any Debtor within the past five years except as set forth on Schedule
D.
(u) 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.
(v) Without
limiting the generality of the other obligations of the Debtors hereunder, each
Debtor shall promptly (i) cause the security interest contemplated hereby with
respect to all Patents to be duly recorded at United States Patent and
Trademark Office, and (iii) give the Agent notice whenever it acquires (whether
absolutely or by license) or creates any additional Patents.
(w) 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.
(x) Schedule E attached
hereto lists all of the Patents (issued and applied for) owned by any of the
Debtors as of the date hereof. All material Patents of the Debtors
have been duly recorded at the United States Patent and Trademark

5. Defaults. The following events
shall be “Events of
Default”:
(a) The
occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the
Note;
(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) business days after delivery to such Debtor of notice of such failure
by or on behalf of a Secured Party unless such default is capable of cure but
cannot be cured within such time frame and such Debtor is using best efforts to
cure same in a timely fashion; or
(d) If
any material 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 material liability or obligation purported to be created
under this Agreement.
6. Duty to Hold in Trust. 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 Note 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 the Note for application to the satisfaction of the
Obligations. If any Debtor shall become
entitled to receive or shall receive any securities or other property, 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) deliver any and all
certificates or instruments evidencing the same to the 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, to be held by the
Agent subject to the terms of this
Agreement as Collateral.
7. 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 Note and other Transaction Documents,
and the Secured Parties, acting through the Agent, 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.
9
(ii) Upon notice to the Debtors by the 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, the
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 the Agent, to
exercise in such Agent’s discretion all voting rights pertaining
thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the 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.
(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 Patents 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.
10
(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 the Agent’s 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 Patents 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.
8. Inter
Secured Party Rights; Transaction/Applications of Proceeds.
(a) If
an Event of Default occurs and any party hereto collects proceeds pursuant to
its rights under any Obligations, the Agent shall be immediately notified and
such payment shall be shared with all of the other Secured Parties as set forth
above. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Purchase Agreement or any document
executed in connection with the Obligations and irrespective of: (i) the time,
order or method of attachment or perfection of the security interests created in
favor of Secured Parties; (ii) the time or order of filing or recording of
financing statements or other documents filed or recorded to perfect security
interests in any Collateral; (iii) anything contained in any filing or agreement
to which any Secured Party now or hereafter may be a party; and (iv) the rules
for determining perfection or priority under the Uniform Commercial Code or any
other law governing the relative priorities of secured creditors, each of the
Secured Parties acknowledges that (x) all other Secured Parties have a valid
security interest in the Collateral and (y) the security interests of the
Secured Parties in any Collateral pursuant to any outstanding Obligations shall
be pari passu with each other
and enforced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement through the Agent.
Each Secured Party, severally and not jointly with the other Secured Parties,
shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Secured Parties against and
in respect of any and all claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations,
liabilities, damages, recoveries, and deficiencies, including interest,
penalties, and reasonable professional and attorneys’ fees, including those
arising from settlement negotiations, that the other Secured Parties shall incur
or suffer, which arise, result from, or relate to a breach of, or failure by
such Secured Party to perform under this Agreement.
11
(b) 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, then 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, then to satisfaction of the Obligations, and then to the payment of
any other amounts required by applicable law. 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 24% 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.
9. 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 are 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 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 Note. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the
principal amount of the Note and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate.
10. 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.
12
11. 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 Note, any other Transaction Documents 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 Note, any other
Transaction Documents 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.
12. Term of Agreement. This
Agreement and the Security Interests shall terminate, automatically and without any action on the part of
the Agent or Secured Parties, on the date on which all payments under the
Note have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other Obligations have been
paid or discharged; provided, however, that all indemnities of the parties
hereto 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. The
Agent and Secured Parties shall, at
Debtor’s request and
expense, take any and all action required
to discharge any and all security interests and release to Debtor any and all Collateral in the Agent’s or Secured
Parties’ possession or control. The Secured Parties
hereby agree that the Debtor shall have the right to take all necessary action
to cause the termination and release of all security interests granted
hereunder upon termination of this
Agreement.
13
13. 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) 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) pay or discharge taxes, liens, security
interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral; (iv) demand, collect, receive, compromise,
settle and xxx for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (v) transfer any
Patents or provide licenses respecting any Patents; and (vi) generally, at the
option of the Agent, and at the expense of the Debtors, at any time, or from
time to time, execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments and 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, the Note and other Transaction
Documents 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 with
the United States Patent and Trademark 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 B
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.
14
14. Notices. All notices,
requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be subject to the
notice provision of the Purchase Agreement.
15. 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.
16. Appointment of Agent. The
Secured Parties hereby appoint Gemini Strategies, LLC or its appointed
agent to act as their agent (“Gemini” 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 the
Secured Parties, at which time the Secured
Parties shall appoint a new Agent. The Agent shall have the
rights, responsibilities and immunities set forth in Annex B
hereto.
17. 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 Note 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 Note 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.
(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.
15
(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 internal laws of the State of California, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each Debtor agrees that all
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Note (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers,
shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in San Diego County,
California. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in San Diego County,
California for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court or that
such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and
all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party shall
commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the
prevailing party in such proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for
its reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.
16
(i) This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any
signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or e-mail
transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the
party executing the same (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with
the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original
thereof.
(j) All
Debtors (including without limitation any Additional Debtor joined hereto) shall
be jointly and severally be liable for the obligations of each Debtor to the
Secured Parties hereunder.
(k) Each
Debtor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Agent and the Secured
Parties and their respective partners, members, shareholders, officers,
directors, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that
have similar functions) (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from
and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits,
costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost
of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or
alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses,
claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result
from any violation of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or the
agreements underlying the Obligations or the negligence or willful misconduct of
the Indemnitee. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and
not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in the Note, the
Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or other document executed
or delivered in connection herewith or therewith.
(l) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to subject
the Agent or any Secured Party to liability as a partner
or member in or of
any Debtor or any of its direct or
indirect subsidiaries, nor shall
the Agent or any Secured Party be deemed to have assumed any
obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company
agreement, as applicable, of any such Debtor or any of its direct or
indirect subsidiaries or otherwise, unless
and until any such Secured Party exercises its right to be substituted for such
Debtor as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant
hereto.
(m) To the extent that the grant of the security interest in
the Collateral and the enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of any
partner or member, as applicable, of any Debtor or any direct or indirect
subsidiary of any Debtor or compliance with any provisions of any of the
Organizational Documents, the Debtors hereby grant such consent and
approval and waive any such noncompliance with the terms of said
documents.

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 Gemini
Strategies, LLC (“Gemini” 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 Note) 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, collectability, 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 Note or any of the other Transaction
Documents.
B-1
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; 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 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 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.
(d) 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.
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.
