Party might prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Intellectual Property or
the Security Interest therein. The Company will also, upon demand,

agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement

any of the Intellectual Property or its unavailability for any
reason.
10. Security Interest
Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and all Obligations
of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

Warrants or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any
portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of
payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure
from the Notes, the Warrants or any other agreement entered into in
connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any
of the Intellectual Property, or any release or amendment or waiver of or
consent to departure from any other Intellectual Property for, or any guaranty,
or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the
Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any
insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Intellectual
Property; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any
legal or equitable defense available to the Company, or a discharge of all or
any part of the Security Interest granted hereby. Until the
Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the
Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason,
including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or
bankruptcy. The Company 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 Intellectual Property or any payment
received by the Secured Party 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 Party,
then, in any such event, the Company’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. The Company waives all right to require the
Secured Party to proceed against any other person or to apply any Intellectual
Property which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or
to pursue any other remedy. The Company waives any defense arising by
reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation
secured hereby.
11. Term of
Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall
terminate on the date on which all payments under the Notes have been made in
full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged. Upon
such termination, the Secured Party, at the request and at the expense of the
Company, will join in executing any termination statement with respect to any
financing statement executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement.

Company authorizes the Secured Party, and does hereby make, constitute and
appoint it, and its respective officers, agents, successors or assigns with full

14. Other
Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or
hereafter secured by property other than the Intellectual Property or by the
guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or
other entity, then the Secured Party 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 Party’s rights and remedies hereunder.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No course
of dealing between the Company and the Secured Party, nor any failure to
exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(b) All of
the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Intellectual
Property, whether established hereby or by the Notes or by any other agreements,
instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singly or concurrently.
(c) This
Agreement and the Security Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and is intended to supersede
all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements with respect
thereto. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended except by a written
agreement specifically referring to this Agreement and signed by the parties
hereto.
(d) In the
event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless such provision is
narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of
this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to
the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions of
this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.
(e) No waiver
of any breach or default or any right under this Agreement shall be considered
valid unless in writing and signed by the party giving such waiver, and no such
waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or right,
whether of the same or similar nature or otherwise.
(f) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto
and its successors and assigns.
(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) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, except to the extent the validity, perfection or enforcement of a security
interest hereunder in respect of any particular Intellectual Property which are
governed by a jurisdiction other than the State of New York in which case such
law shall govern. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submit to
the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court
sitting in Manhattan county over any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that
all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in such New York State or Federal court. The parties hereto agree
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. The parties hereto further waive any
objection to venue in the State of New York and any objection to an action or
proceeding in the State of New York on the basis of forum non
conveniens.

ENCOMPASSING OF ANY DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO

STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS
A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT
EACH PARTY HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND
THAT EACH PARTY WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE
DEALINGS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS
WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY
WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL FOLLOWING SUCH CONSULTATION. THIS
WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE
CONTRARY, IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS AND SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF A LITIGATION, THIS
AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE
COURT.
(j) 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, such signature shall create a
valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile signature were the original thereof.
