5. Conversion.
5.1 Conversion. The Holder shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest, if any, of this Note, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock, par value $ .001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock” or “Conversion Shares”) at a price per share (the “Conversion Price”) equal to 75% of (i) if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market (or a similar national quotation system), the average of the closing “bid” prices of the Common Stock on such exchange or system for the ten (10) trading days ending on the date of delivery to the Company of a Notice of Conversion in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, or (ii) if the Common Stock is then actively traded over-the-counter, the average of the closing bid prices for the ten (10) trading days ending on the date of delivery to the Company of a Notice of Conversion in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Company before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date.
5.2 Mechanics and Effect of Conversion.
(a) No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company will pay to the Holder in cash the unconverted balance that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share.
(b) In the event that this Note is converted in full pursuant to Section 5.1, the Holder shall surrender this Note, and the Notice of Conversion annexed hereto as Exhibit A by e-mail or facsimile, duly endorsed (but without the requirement of a medallion signature guarantee), to the Company and the Note shall thereupon be canceled; provided that if this Note is converted only in part, then only the Notice of Conversion, duly endorsed (but without the requirement of a medallion signature guarantee), shall be required to be delivered by e-mail or facsimile to the Company. As soon as practicable following the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Conversion and at its expense, but not later than ten business days after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Company will issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion, together with (i) a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts in lieu of fractional shares as described in clause (a) above and (ii) to the extent that the Holder has converted this Note only in part, a replacement Note in the form hereof in the principal amount equal to the remaining principal balance of this Note (the “Replacement Note”). If permissible under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or if the Conversion Shares have been registered for re-sale, all shares shall be delivered without legend and if, the Company is so eligible, by electronic delivery to a brokerage account designated by Holder. The Company shall pay the cost of any legal opinion that may be necessary for the delivery of the Conversion Shares.
5.3 Termination of Rights. Upon conversion of this Note in accordance with Section 5.1, all rights with respect to the converted portion of this Note shall terminate, whether or not the Note has been surrendered for cancellation, and the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under the converted portion of this Note except its obligations pursuant to Section 5.2.
5 |
5.4 Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to a Holder the Conversion Shares as required pursuant to this Note, and the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock (or a broker or trading counterparty through which the Holder has agreed to sell shares makes such purchase) to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to honoring its obligation to deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares and any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate Conversion Price of the Conversion Shares required to have been delivered together with interest thereon at a rate of 5% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to a Conversion Amount of $10,000 to have been received upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus interest. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, along with the appropriate supporting documentation for such purchase.
6. Transfer; Successors and Assigns.

2. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, during the Exercise Period by delivery of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Annex A (the “Notice of Exercise”) duly completed and executed by the Holder by e-mail or facsimile, to the Company at its principal executive office. In the event of an exercise for cash, the Holder shall deliver to the Company payment in cash, in lawful money of the United States of America, including by certified or official bank check made payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common being purchased pursuant to such exercise of the Warrant within two (2) business days of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each exercise of this Warrant shall be as set forth in the Notice of Exercise delivered to the Company by the Holder; provided that the Notice of Exercise is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Company before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such exercise date.
(b) This Warrant may be exercised for less than the full number of shares of Common Stock calculated above, provided that this Warrant may not be exercised in part for less than a whole number of shares of Common Stock. Upon any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense will forthwith issue to the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which rights have not been exercised (subject to adjustment as herein provided), such Warrant or Warrants to be issued in the name of the Holder or its nominee.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and in any event within ten (10) business days after the Exercise Price is paid as set forth above for an exercise for cash, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined in accordance with Section 3(d) hereof. The Company agrees that the shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid.
(d) Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares for which this Warrant shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company.
14 |
(e) In the event that the Company proposes to engage in a Change in Control, it shall give the Holder written of its intention not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed closing of such transaction. The notice shall describe the material terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to consummate such transaction.
(f) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may only be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
(g) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to a Holder the Warrant Shares as required pursuant to this Warrant, and the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock (or a broker or trading counterparty through which the Holder has agreed to sell shares makes such purchase) to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to honoring its obligation to deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares and any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares required to have been delivered together with interest thereon at a rate of 5% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to Warrant Shares with an aggregate Exercise Price of $10,000 to have been received upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus interest. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, along with the appropriate supporting documentation for such purchase.
15 |
3. Adjustments.
(a) Adjustments Generally. In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted hereunder in the specific circumstances contemplated by this Section 3, the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3(b) and 3(c) (but not Section 3(d)), the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to acquire upon exercise, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Common Stock determined by (i) multiplying (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment; provided that no such adjustments shall be made in the Exercise Price and/or the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant if the conversion ratio of the Common Stock already reflects such event.
(b) Subdivisions, Stock Dividends and Recapitalizations. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares (including, without limitation, through any stock split effected by means of a dividend on the Common Stock which is payable in Common Stock), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, unless the conversion ratio of such Common Stock already reflects such event.
(c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of a significant amount of assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that (i) does not constitute a Change in Control, and (ii) holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other property with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers or sales and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In all events, appropriate adjustments (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.
16 |
(d) Share Issuance. If, at any time after the date hereof while the Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall make a Dilutive Issuance (as defined below), for a price per share that is less than the Exercise Price that would be in effect at the time of such Dilutive Issuance, then, and thereafter successively upon each such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price per share in the Dilutive Issuance and if more than one Dilutive Issuance occurs while this Warrant is exercisable, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price per share in the Dilutive Issuance with the lowest price per share. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant shall not change. The reduction of the Exercise Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other rights hereunder.
A “Dilutive Issuance” shall mean the issuance by the Company, other than an Excepted Issuance (as defined below) of any Common Stock, security or debt instrument carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock, or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock with a purchase price, exercise price or conversion price less than the Exercise Price. A Dilutive Issuance for no consideration will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock.
For purposes of this Warrant, “Excepted Issuance” shall mean (i) any issuance or sale by the Company of its securities as full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity (or any division or business unit thereof) so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (ii) any issuance of securities in connection with strategic supply, sale or license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (iii) any issuance of securities upon the conversion or exercise of options or convertible securities issued on or prior to the date hereof, or (iv) any issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by the Board of Directors.
(e) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or scrip in lieu thereof. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 3(e), be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, then the Company shall in lieu thereof pay to the person entitled thereto an amount in cash equal to the current value of such fraction, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, to be computed on the basis of the fair market value per share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(e) Certificate as to Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3 hereof, the Company shall promptly compute such adjustment and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, the Exercise Price that will be effective after such adjustment and the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.
17 |
4. Reservation of Stock Issuable on Exercise of Warrants. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, solely for the issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants. All of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, subject to no lien or other encumbrance other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities laws and restrictions imposed by Section 6(a) hereof and the Agreements to which reference is made in Section 6(c) hereof.
5. Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company (with surety if reasonably required), or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and amount.
6. Negotiability. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms:
(a) Transfer. By acceptance hereof, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Holder is acquiring the Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.
(b) Subject to compliance with clause (e) of this Section 6, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books of the Company by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a new warrant shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the Company. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new warrants pursuant to this Section 6 shall be paid by the Company.
(c) Agreements. As a condition to the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise hereof, the Holder shall execute the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Annex A.
(d) Transfer Taxes. The Company shall not be required to pay any federal or state transfer tax or charge that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of this Warrant or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder or to issue or deliver any certificates for Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant until any and all such taxes and charges shall have been paid by the Holder or until it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or charge is due.
18 |
(e) Compliance with Securities Laws. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant, the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of applicable federal and state securities laws.
7. Subdivision of Rights. Subject to Section 6, this Warrant (as well as any new Warrants issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7) is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder, at the principal executive office of the Company for any number of new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing by facsimile, e-mail, mail or personal delivery and shall be effective upon delivery of such notice. The addresses for such communications shall be to the addresses as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement. A party may from time to time change the address to which notices to it are to be delivered or mailed hereunder by notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8(a).
(b) Books of the Company. The Company may treat the holder hereof as appearing on the Company’s books at any time as the holder for all purposes.
(c) Headings. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(d) Amendment; Waiver. This Warrant and any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. No waivers of any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.
19 |

Promptly upon request of the Lender, or its agents or assigns, from time to time, Grantor will do all such other acts and things and will execute and deliver to the Lender, or its agents or assigns, all such other instruments and documents and all such other and further assurances as the Lender may deem necessary or advisable in order to perfect and continue perfecting its security interest in the Collateral or any part thereof.
11. Events of Default; Application of Proceeds; Lender’s Limited Duty With Respect to Collateral. Default shall exist hereunder if any of the following shall occur (each, a “Default”):
(a) an “Event of Default”, as defined in the Note or the Purchase Agreement, shall occur under either of said agreements;
(b) any violation, other than an failure to pay any amount of money as and when due, of any covenant or agreement of Grantor hereunder or contained in the Note or the Purchase Agreement, which violation has not been cured within twenty (20) days after notice in writing has been sent to Grantor;
(c) if Grantor, other than sales and transfers of inventory and other assets in the ordinary course of its business, shall or shall attempt to: (1) remove or allow removal of the Collateral from the county where Grantor is now located or change the location of its chief executive office or principal place of business without giving the Lender thirty (30) days’ prior written notice; (2) sell, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein or permit any lien or security interest to exist thereon or therein; (3) conceal or lease the Collateral; (4) misuse or abuse the Collateral; or (5) use or allow the use of the Collateral in connection with any undertaking prohibited by law;

Additionally, Grantor agrees upon demand to deliver the Collateral to the Lender, or the Lender may, with or without legal process, and with or without previous notice or demand for performance, enter any premises wherein the Collateral may be, and take possession of the same, together with anything therein, and the Lender may make disposition of the Collateral subject to any and all applicable provisions of applicable law. If the Collateral is sold at public sale, the Lender may purchase the Collateral at such sale and may bid the amount of the Loan or any portion thereof. The Lender, provided it has sent the statutory notice of default, may retain from the proceeds of such sale for the benefit of the Lender and may apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Note.
28 |
Grantor further authorizes the Lender and does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint the Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power, in its own name or in the name of Grantor, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default: (a) to indorse any notes, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or with respect to any policy of insurance) relating to the Collateral or in connection therewith, to sign and endorse any invoices, drafts against Grantors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; (b) to give written notice to such officials of the United States Postal Service to effect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to Grantor may be delivered directly to a post office box or to such other depository as may be selected by the Lender and consented to by Grantor and to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Grantor or as otherwise agreed by Grantor; (c) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (d) to receive payment of, receipt for, settle, compromise or adjust and give discharges and releases for or in respect of any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time under or rising out of the Collateral; (e) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Grantor with respect to any Collateral; and (f) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem appropriate and, 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 Lender was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.
If securities (as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws) are included as Collateral, the Grantor recognizes that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of such securities because of certain restrictions contained in such laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire all or a part of the securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any private sale so made may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if such securities were sold at public sale, and that the Lender has no obligation to delay the sale of such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the registration of such securities for public sale under any securities laws. The Grantor agrees that a private sale or sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Grantor agrees that it will make available, and allow dissemination of, any and all financial and other information concerning the securities which the Lender might deem appropriate in connection with the sale, and will provide whatever assistance the Lender deems appropriate to assure that such sale complies with applicable laws.
The Lender shall apply the proceeds of the Collateral following collection and/or sale thereof after the occurrence of a Default, first to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, second to the repayment of all other amounts due and unpaid on the Loan, whether on account of principal or accrued interest or otherwise as the Lender in its sole discretion may elect, and then to pay the balance if any, as required by law. If the proceeds shall be insufficient to pay the above-described amounts, Grantor shall be liable to the Lender for the deficiency.
29 |
Lender’s sole duty to Grantor with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of any of the Collateral in Lender’s possession, under the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Lender shall not be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral upon the request of Grantor, or otherwise.
13. Applicable Law; Severability. It is stipulated and agreed by Grantor and the Lender that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
14. Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; no such failure or delay by the Lender shall constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy which it may otherwise have.
15. Miscellaneous. Upon the earlier of (i) the irrevocable payment in full of the Loan, (ii) the conversion of all remaining principal and interest under the Note in accordance with the terms of the Note, or (iii) the mutual agreement of the parties hereto, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Lender and Grantor and their respective successors and assigns, except that Grantor may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder.

37 |
Grantor further authorizes the Lender and does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint the Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power, in its own name or in the name of Grantor, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default: (a) to indorse any notes, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or with respect to any policy of insurance) relating to the Collateral or in connection therewith, to sign and endorse any invoices, drafts against Grantors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; (b) to give written notice to such officials of the United States Postal Service to effect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to Grantor may be delivered directly to a post office box or to such other depository as may be selected by the Lender and consented to by Grantor and to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Grantor or as otherwise agreed by Grantor; (c) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (d) to receive payment of, receipt for, settle, compromise or adjust and give discharges and releases for or in respect of any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time under or rising out of the Collateral; (e) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Grantor with respect to any Collateral; and (f) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem appropriate and, 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 Lender was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.
