additional and further acts, things, deeds, assurances and instruments as the
Lender may require to vest in and assure to the Lender its rights hereunder
and
in or to the Collateral, and the proceeds thereof. At any time upon an Event
of

to notify (on invoices or otherwise) account debtors and other obligors or
payors on any Collateral of its assignment to the Lender, and that all payments

with
the Collateral in its own name or that of the Grantor at any time upon an Event
of Acceleration;

decline in value of the Collateral, whether or not covered by insurance, and
the
amount of such loss or depreciation;
(c)
only
use or permit the Collateral to be used in accordance with all applicable
federal, state, county and municipal laws and regulations; and

have
and maintain at
all

merger, dissolution, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid
the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Grantor.
3
6.
Negative
Pledge; No Transfer.
The
Grantor hereby agrees that the covenants as set forth in Section 7.3 of the
Loan
Agreement will apply (other than with respect to distributions to Borrower),
mutatis mutandis, to the Grantor, and such provisions are, by this reference,
incorporated into this Agreement.Without derogating from such provisions and
unless expressly permitted thereunder, the Grantor will not sell or offer to
sell or otherwise transfer or grant or allow the imposition of a lien or
security interest upon the Collateral, will not allow any third party to gain
control of all or any part of the Collateral, and will not use any portion
thereof in any manner inconsistent with this Agreement or with the terms and
conditions of any policy of insurance thereon.
7.
Covenants

The
Grantor will, on the Lender’s reasonable demand, make notations on its books and
records showing the Lender’s security interest.

any time after the occurrence of an Event of Acceleration, and without notice
to
the Grantor, the Lender may direct any persons who are indebted to the Grantor
on any Collateral consisting of accounts or general intangibles to make payment
directly to the Lender of the amounts due. The Lender is authorized to collect,
compromise, endorse and sell any such Collateral in its own name or in the
Grantor’s name and to give receipts to such account debtors for any such
payments and the account debtors will be protected in making such payments
to
the Lender.
8.
Further
Assurances.
8.1.
The
Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to execute (on behalf of the
Grantor), as applicable, and file against the Grantor one or more financing,
continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the UCC in form satisfactory
to
the Lender, and the Grantor will pay the cost of preparing and filing the same
in all jurisdictions in which such filing is deemed by the Lender to be
necessary or desirable in order to perfect, preserve and protect its security
interests. If required by the Lender, (i) the Grantor will execute all
documentation necessary for the Lender to obtain and maintain perfection of
its
security interests in the Collateral and (ii) will file and pay the cost of
all financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the UCC in
form
satisfactory to the Lender.
8.2. The Grantor
shall promptly inform the Lender in writing of any filings made by it for
the purpose of registration of intellectual property
rights and will promptly make such filings, if required, in order to ensure
that
the security interest created pursuant to this Agreement covers such issued
intellectual property rights.
8.3.
The
Grantor will (and, to the extent applicable, will cause its subsidiaries to)
execute, in form satisfactory to the Lender, a Rider to Security Agreement

Copyrights (if any Collateral consists of registered or unregistered material
copyrights), update the Rider to Security Agreement - Patents (to include
additional Collateral consisting of material patents registered or patent
applications filed following the date hereof), a Rider to Security Agreement

registration of any intellectual property right and all expenses related thereto
shall be borne by the Grantor.

If
any Collateral consists of letter of credit rights, electronic chattel paper,
deposit accounts or supporting obligations not maintained with the Lender or
one
of its affiliates, or any securities entitlement, securities account,
commodities account, commodities contract or other investment property, then
at
the Lender’s request the Grantor will execute, and will use reasonable
commercial efforts to cause the depository institution or securities
intermediary upon whose books and records the ownership interest of the Grantor
in such Collateral appears, to execute such Pledge Agreements, Notification
and
Control Agreements or other agreements as the Lender reasonably deems necessary
in order to perfect, prioritize and protect its security interest in such
Collateral, in each case in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Lender.
9.
Events of Acceleration. The
Grantor hereby agrees that the provisions contained in Section 3 of the Loan
Agreement (Events of Acceleration) will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Grantor,
and such provisions are, by this reference, incorporated into this Agreement.
The occurrence of an Event of Acceleration under Section 3 of the Loan Agreement
shall constitute a default under this Agreement.
10.
Remedies.
Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Acceleration described
in paragraphs 3(i), 3(v), 3(vi) or 3(vii) of the Loan Agreement that is
continuing following any cure period set forth in such provisions (if any),
the
Lender may, by notice in writing sent to the Grantor,
declare
all amounts due to the Lender on account of the Loan due and payable and in
the
event that an Event of Acceleration described in paragraphs 3(ii), 3(iii) or
3(iv) of the Loan Agreement has happened and is continuing following any cure
period set forth in such provisions (if any), all amounts due to the Lenders
on
account of the Loan shall become due and payable without notice. In
such
events, the Lender shall have, in addition to any remedies provided herein
or by
any applicable law or in equity, all the remedies of a secured party under
the
UCC. The Lender’s remedies include, but are not limited to, the right to (a)
peaceably by its own means or with judicial assistance enter the Grantor’s
premises and take possession of the Collateral without prior notice to the
Grantor or the opportunity for a hearing, (b) render the Collateral unusable,
and (c) dispose of the Collateral on the Grantor’s premises, (d) require the
Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at a
place designated by the Lender, and Unless the Collateral is perishable or
threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on
a
recognized market, the Lender will give the Grantor reasonable notice of the
time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private
sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements
of commercially reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is sent to the
Grantor at least seven (7) days before the time of the intended sale or
disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for disposition, disposing
or the like shall include the Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses, incurred or expended by the Lender to enforce any payment due it
under
this Agreement either as against the Grantor, or in the prosecution or defense
of any action, or concerning any matter growing out of or connection with the
subject matter of this Agreement and the Collateral pledged hereunder. The
Grantor waives all relief from all appraisement or exemption laws now in force
or hereafter enacted.
11.
Power
of Attorney.
The
Grantor does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of the
Lender, as of the date on which an Event of Acceleration had taken palce, as
the
Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to (a) endorse the name
of the Grantor or any of the Grantor’s officers or agents upon any notes,
checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment or Collateral
that
may come into the Lender’s possession in full or part payment of any
Obligations; (b) xxx for, compromise, settle and release all claims and disputes
with respect to, the Collateral; and (c) sign, for the Grantor, such
documentation required by the UCC, or supplemental intellectual property
security agreements; granting to the Grantor’s said attorney full power to do
any and all things necessary to be done in and about the premises as fully
and
effectually as the Grantor might or could do; provided,
however,
that
such appointment shall only be effective after and during the continuation
of an
Event of Acceleration.
The
Grantor 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
is irrevocable. The
Lender shall notify the Grantor
in
writing of any action taken by it in accordance with this Section
11.
5
12.
Payment of Expenses. The
Grantor shall pay, upon demand, all reasonable costs, charges and expenses
(including reasonable attorney's fees), incurred by the Lender in enforcing
its
rights and remedies hereunder.
13.
Notices. All notices, demands,
requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted
hereunder (“Notices”) must be in writing and will be effective
upon receipt. Notices may be given in any manner to which the parties may
separately agree, including electronic mail. Without limiting the foregoing,
first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier service are
hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices. Regardless of the
manner in which provided, Notices may be sent to a party’s address as set forth
above or to such other address as any party may give to the other for such
purpose in accordance with this section.
14.
Preservation
of Rights.
No
delay
or omission on the Lender’s part to exercise any right or power arising
hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of
any
such right or power, nor will the Lender’s action or inaction impair any such
right or power. The Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and
not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Lender may have under
other agreements, at law or in equity.
15.
Illegality.
If any
provision contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect or impair the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.
16.
Changes
in Writing.
No
modification, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure by the Grantor
from, any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless made in a writing
signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in
the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or
demand on the Grantor will entitle the Grantor to any other or further notice
or
demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.
17.
Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) and
the
Guaranty constitute the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof.

Agreement may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties
hereto on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and
the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of signature page
to
this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of
a
manually executed counterpart. Any party so executing this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart,
provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the
counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.
19.
Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantor and
the
Lender and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns; provided,

Lender’s prior written consent and the Lender at any time may assign this

gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Grantor may participate at its
expense in the defense of any such claim.
22.
Governing
Law and Jurisdiction.
This
Agreement has been delivered to and accepted by the Lender and will be deemed
to
be made in the State of New York. This
Agreement will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties
hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except
that the laws of the State where any Collateral is located (if different from

of the liens created hereunder on such property or any interest
therein.
The
Grantor hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state
or federal court in any county or judicial district in the State of New Jersey;
provided that nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent the Lender from
bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment or exercising any rights
against the Grantor individually, against any security or against any property
of the Grantor within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic
jurisdiction. The Lender and the Grantor agree that the venue provided above
is
the most convenient forum for both the Lender and the Grantor. The Grantor

forum
in any action instituted under this Agreement.
