(e) Viking 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 location designated by Camber, and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it delivers to Camber 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 Camber a valid, perfected and continuing perfected lien in the Collateral, subject to the priority requirements set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement creates, except as set forth in Section 2 herein, in favor of Camber a valid second priority security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured 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 (i) the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements referred to in the immediately following paragraph, no action is necessary to create, perfect or protect the security interests created hereunder.

Viking hereby agrees to defend the same against the claims of any and all persons and entities. Viking shall safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account of Camber. At the request of Camber, but subject to rights under Permitted Liens, Viking will sign and deliver to Camber on behalf of Camber at any time or from time to time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably satisfactory to Camber and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by Camber to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and Secured Obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Viking shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interests hereunder, and Viking shall obtain and furnish to Camber 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.

(iii) Camber shall have the right to operate the business of Viking 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 Camber 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 Viking or right of redemption of Viking, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, Camber 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 Viking, which are hereby waived and released.

(iv) Camber 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 Camber and to enforce Viking’s rights against such account debtors and obligors.

(v) Camber may (but are not obligated to) direct any financial intermediary or any other person or entity holding any investment property to transfer the same to Camber or their designee.

(b) Camber 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. Camber may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such warranties. If Camber sell any of the Collateral on credit, Viking will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser. In addition, Viking waives (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Camber’ rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, their right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise their rights and remedies with respect thereto.

10. Applications of Proceeds. 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 (i) first, to the costs, expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like, incurred by Camber, their representatives, or Camber (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral; (ii) second to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Camber, their representatives, and Camber in enforcing Camber’ rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral; and (iii) then to satisfaction of the Secured Obligations pro rata among Camber (based on then-outstanding principal and interest amounts of Notes at the time of any such determination), (with respect to the application of payment to the outstanding balance due on the Acquisition Note, proceeds shall first be applied to all outstanding interest then accrued on the Acquisition Note until all such interest has been paid, prior to applying any proceeds to the principal of any of the Acquisition Note) and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which Camber shall pay to Viking any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Camber are legally entitled, Viking will remain liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by Camber to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Viking waives all claims, damages and demands against Camber arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Camber as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.

11. Securities Law Provision. Viking recognizes that Camber may be limited in their ability to effect a sale to the public of all or part of the Pledged Securities by reason of certain prohibitions in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other federal or state securities laws (collectively, the “Securities Laws”), and may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a restricted group of purchasers who may be required to agree to acquire the Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Viking agrees that sales so made may be at prices and on terms less favorable than if the Pledged Securities were sold to the public, and that Camber have no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to register the Pledged Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Laws. Viking shall cooperate with Camber in their attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws (including, without limitation, registration thereunder if requested by Camber) applicable to the sale of the Pledged Securities by Camber.

12. Costs and Expenses. Viking 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 Camber. Viking shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of Camber are reasonably likely to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interests therein. Viking will also, upon demand, pay to Camber the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel and of any experts and agents, which Camber, may incur in connection with the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure, collection or enforcement of the Security Interest and the preparation, administration, continuance, amendment or enforcement of this Agreement and pay to Camber the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel and of any experts and agents, which Camber may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or 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 Camber under the Acquisition Note. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Acquisition Note and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

13. Responsibility for Collateral. Viking assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the Secured 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 and except as required by applicable law, (a) no Camber (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) Viking shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Viking thereunder. Camber shall have no obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Camber of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall Camber be obligated in any manner to perform any of the Secured Obligations of Viking under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by Camber 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 Camber or to which Camber may be entitled at any time or times.

14. Security Interests Absolute. All rights of Camber and all Secured Obligations of Viking hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Acquisition Note or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof, against any Transaction Subsidiary; (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 Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Acquisition Note or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any Guaranty, or any other security, for all or any of the Secured Obligations; (d) any action by Camber to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in their 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 Viking, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interests granted hereby. Until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of Camber shall continue even if the Secured Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations. Viking 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 Camber 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 Camber, then, in any such event, Viking’s Secured 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. Viking waives all right to require Camber to proceed against any other person or entity or to apply any Collateral which Camber may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. Viking waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.

15. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interests shall terminate on the date on which the Merger is complete and/or all payments under the Acquisition Note have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other Secured Obligations have been paid or discharged; provided, however, that all indemnities of Viking contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Annex A hereto) shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.

16. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

(a) Viking authorizes Camber, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint Camber and its officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution, as Viking’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in the name of Camber or Viking, 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 Camber; (ii) to 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) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and xxx for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (v) generally, at the option of Camber, and at the expense of Viking, at any time, or from time to time, to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments and to do all acts and things which Camber deem necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interests granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement and the Acquisition Note all as fully and effectually as Viking might or could do; and Viking 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 Secured 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 Viking is subject or to which Viking is a party.

(b) On a continuing basis, Viking 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 State of Nevada, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by Camber, to perfect and maintain the Security Interests granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to Camber the grant or perfection of a perfected security interest in all the Collateral under the UCC.

(c) Viking hereby irrevocably appoints Camber as Viking’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place, and instead, of Viking and in the name of Viking, from time to time in Camber’ discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Camber may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the filing, in their sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Viking 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 Camber. 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 Secured Obligations shall be outstanding.

17. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be subject to the notice provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in the Acquisition Note).

18. Other Security. To the extent that the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the Guaranty, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, then Camber shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of Camber’ rights and remedies hereunder.

19. Appointment of Collateral Agent. Camber in their sole discretion may delegate certain of their rights hereunder to one or more Collateral Agent.

20. Miscellaneous.

(a) No course of dealing between Viking and Camber, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Camber, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Acquisition 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 Camber with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Acquisition Note or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Camber of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for hereby or by the Acquisition Note or by any other agreements, instruments or documents now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Camber of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of Camber to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof.

(c) This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto and the other Transaction Documents, 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.

(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.

(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. Viking and the Subsidiaries may not assign this Agreement or any rights or Secured Obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Camber (other than by merger). Camber may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) to whom such Camber assigns or transfers any Secured Obligations, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Secured Obligations, by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Camber.”

(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) Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, 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 Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, Viking agrees that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Acquisition 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 the City of Las Vegas, Nevada. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, Viking hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Las Vegas, Nevada 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, 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.

(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, 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.

(j) Viking shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless Camber and its respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (inclusive of any Collateral Agent appointed by Camber in accordance with the terms hereof) (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 the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in the Acquisition Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in the Acquisition Note) or any other agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

(k) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to subject Camber to liability as a partner in Viking or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a partnership or as a member in Viking or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, no Camber shall be deemed to have assumed any Secured Obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of Viking or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or otherwise, unless and until any such Camber exercises its right to be substituted for Viking as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.

(l) 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 Viking or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Viking or compliance with any provisions of any of the Organizational Documents, Viking hereby represents that all such consents and approvals have been obtained.
