Each Debtor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and each Debtor agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to engage in any such private sales or dispositions under such circumstances. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral to permit a Debtor to register such Collateral for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Debtors would agree to do so. The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any such Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale provided for in this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, and so long as the Collateral Agent conducts such sale in a commercially reasonable manner, each Debtor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party 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 which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

Each Debtor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion or all of any such Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Debtor’s expense. Each Debtor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 4.8 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4.8 shall be specifically enforceable against Debtors by Collateral Agent of behalf of each Secured Party, and each Debtor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the Pro Rata Portion of each Secured Party. “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean the ratio of (x) the subscription amount of the Notes purchased by a Secured Party participating under this Section 4.8 and (y) the sum of the aggregate subscription amounts of the Notes purchased by all Secured Parties participating under this Section 4.8.

4.9 Attorney-in-Fact. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney‑in‑fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (except in connection with the perfection of the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder), from time to time in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to perfect or protect any security interest granted hereunder, to maintain the perfection or priority of any security interest granted hereunder, or to otherwise accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Debtor, without notice to or assent by such Debtor (to the extent permitted by applicable law), to do the following, but only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(a) to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement;

(b) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittance and receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of such Debtor or its own name or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;

(c) to pay or discharge charges or liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor;

(d) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due thereunder, directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct, and to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time, in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;

(e) to sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other Documents constituting or relating to the Collateral;

(f) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;

(g) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against a Debtor with respect to any Collateral;

(h) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate;

(i) to the extent that a Debtor’s authorization given in Section 4.1(b) of this Agreement is not sufficient to file such financing statements with respect to this Agreement, with or without such Debtor’s signature, or to file a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in such Debtor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require such Debtor’s signature;

(j) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owners thereof for all purposes; and

(k) to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and at such Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect or preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ Liens therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Debtor might do.

For the avoidance of doubt, Collateral Agent shall only have the power and right to do each of the items set forth in Section 4.9(a) through Section 4.9 (k) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

Each Debtor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that such attorneys lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof provided the same is performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with Section 4.9. The power of attorney granted hereunder is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Obligations which expressly survive by their terms and contingent indemnification Obligations) and this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 4.11 hereof.

Each Debtor also authorizes the Collateral Agent, at any time from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (x) to communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Debtor in and under the Contracts hereunder and (y) to execute, in connection with any sale of Collateral provided for in Section 4.5 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral..

4.10 Perfection. Prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Debtor shall:

(a) file such financing statements, assignments for security and other documents in such offices as may be necessary or as the Collateral Agent or the Representative may request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3 of this Agreement;

(b) at the Collateral Agent’s request, deliver to the Collateral Agent or its Representative the originals of all Instruments together with, in the case of Instruments constituting promissory notes, allonges attached thereto showing such promissory notes to be payable to the order of a blank payee;

(c) If the Debtor has not done so, the Collateral Agent may do the actions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above at any later time at the sole cost of the Debtors.

4.11 Termination; Partial Release of Collateral. This Agreement and the Liens and security interests granted hereunder shall not terminate until the full and complete performance and indefeasible satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than Obligations which expressly survive by their terms and contingent indemnification Obligations), whereupon the Collateral Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral to or on the order of Debtors. The Collateral Agent shall also execute and deliver to Debtors upon such termination and at Debtors’ expense such UCC termination statements, certificates for terminating the liens on the Motor Vehicles (if any) and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by Debtors or otherwise necessary to effect the termination and release of all Liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent affecting the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations (other than Obligations which expressly survive by their terms and contingent indemnification Obligations), Debtors obligations under this Agreement shall immediately terminate and any Liens shall thereupon be void. If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred to or otherwise disposed of by any Debtor in a transaction permitted by and in compliance with all applicable provisions of the applicable Transaction Document, then the Liens granted hereunder with respect to such Collateral shall be automatically released (unless otherwise specified herein or in the other Transaction Documents), all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and Collateral Agent shall, at the written request and sole expense of such Debtor, execute and deliver to such Debtor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral.

4.12 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written reasonable request of the Collateral Agent or its Representative, and at the sole expense of Debtors, Debtors will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take such further actions as the Collateral Agent or its Representative may reasonably require in order for the Collateral Agent to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted in favor of the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, using Debtors’ commercially reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to the Collateral Agent of any Collateral held by Debtors or in which a Debtor has any rights not heretofore assigned, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the liens and security interests granted hereby, transferring Collateral to the Collateral Agent’s possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by possession), placing the interest of the Collateral Agent as lienholder on the certificate of title of any Motor Vehicle, and obtaining waivers of liens from landlords and mortgagees. Each Debtor also hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent and its Representative to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of such Debtor to the extent permitted by applicable law.

4.13 Limitation on Duty of Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent under this Agreement are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither the Collateral Agent nor its Representative nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtors for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent and any Representative shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in their possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent or any Representative, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of the type of Collateral involved, it being understood and agreed that neither the Collateral Agent nor any Representative shall have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care set forth above) to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

Also without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Representative shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting to the Collateral Agent of a security interest therein or assignment thereof or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Representative of any payment relating to any Contract or license pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Representative be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Debtors under or pursuant to any Contract or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract or license, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

5.1 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any of its Representatives to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent or any of its Representatives of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

5.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York.

5.3 Notices. All notices, approvals, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be delivered or made in the manner set forth in, and shall be effective in accordance with the terms of, the Securities Purchase Agreement.

5.4 Amendments, Etc. The terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Debtor sought to be charged or benefited thereby and the Secured Parties holding a majority of the outstanding principal of the Notes.

5.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, provided, that no Debtor shall assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of each Secured Party. Any Secured Party, including the Collateral Agent in its capacity as a Secured Party, may assign its rights hereunder without the consent of Debtors, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Secured Party and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

5.6 Counterparts; Headings. This Agreement may be authenticated in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may authenticate this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature or facsimile, .pdf or similar electronic signature, all of which shall be equally valid. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not alter or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

5.7 Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Collateral Agent, its Representative and each other Secured Party (and all of their respective successors and assigns) in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

5.8 Exclusive Jurisdiction. Any action, proceeding or claim arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts located in and for the State of New York (the "Courts"), which shall have exclusive jurisdiction for such purpose, and the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such Courts, and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process may be made in any manner recognized by such Courts.

5.9 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Each Debtor and each Secured Party waive their respective rights to a trial by jury of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in any action, proceeding or other litigation of any type brought by any of the parties against any other party or parties, whether with respect to contract claims, tort claims, or otherwise. Each Debtor and each Secured Party agree that any such claim or cause of action shall be tried by a court trial without a jury. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties further agree that their respective right to a trial by jury is waived by operation of this Section 5.9 as to any action, counterclaim or other proceeding which seeks, in whole or in part, to challenge the validity or enforceability of this agreement or any provision hereof. This waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to this Agreement.

5.10 Joint and Several. The obligations, covenants and agreements of Debtors hereunder shall be the joint and several obligations, covenants and agreements of each Debtor, whether or not specifically stated herein without preferences or distinction among them.

5.11 Collateral Agent and Secured Parties Indemnification.

(a) Each Secured Party has designated and appointed the Collateral Agent as the administrative agent of such Secured Party under this Agreement and the related agreements.

(b) Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the rights of the Collateral Agent to exercise any remedy provided in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c) If pursuant to any Transaction Document a Secured Party (including the Collateral Agent) is given the discretion to allocate proceeds received by such Secured Party (including the Collateral Agent) pursuant to the exercise of remedies under the Transaction Documents or at law or in equity (including without limitation with respect to any secured creditor remedies exercised against the Collateral and any other collateral security provided for under any Transaction Document), the Collateral Agent shall apply such proceeds to the then outstanding Obligations in the following order of priority (with amounts received being applied in the numerical order set forth below until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and each Secured Party entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its Pro Rata Portion of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses second, third and fourth below):

first, to payment of fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) owing to the Collateral Agent;

second, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest and fees (other than fees owing to Collateral Agent) on the Obligations;

third, to payment of principal of the Obligations;

fourth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and

fifth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

(d) Each Debtor agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Collateral Agent (both in its capacity as collateral agent hereunder and as a Secured Party), every other Secured Party, their respective successors and assigns and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, partners, employees, attorneys and agents, and any Person in control of any thereof (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), from and against any claims, debts, liabilities, losses, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, fines, penalties, reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and consultants’ fees), of every nature, character and description (each, an “Indemnified Liability” and collectively the “Indemnified Liabilities”), under federal securities law and state securities laws or otherwise insofar as such Indemnified Liability arises out of or is based upon any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any of the Obligations, or any other cause or thing whatsoever occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by a Debtor relating to any Secured Party or the Obligations (except any such amounts sustained or incurred solely as the result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitees, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction); provided that, each Debtor’s obligations under this Section 5.11(d) are, in the case of legal fees and expenses, expressly limit to one counsel to all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all such Persons, taken as a whole and, solely in the case of any such an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional local counsel to all affected Indemnitees taken as a whole, in each such relevant jurisdiction)). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertakings in this paragraph may be unenforceable for any reason, each Debtor agrees to jointly and severally make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The obligations of each Debtor under this Section 5.11(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

5.12 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

5.13 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Debtors, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents and the other instruments referenced herein and therein, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the secured party nor any Debtor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no unwritten agreements between the parties with respect to the matters discussed herein. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Debtors and the Secured Party.
