Each Grantor expressly authorizes Secured Party to file financing statements showing such Grantor as grantor covering all or any portion of the Collateral in such filing locations as are required under the UCC by Secured Party and authorizes, ratifies and confirms any financing statement filed prior to the date hereof by Secured Party in any jurisdiction showing such Grantor as grantor covering all or any portion of the Collateral. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral as “all assets of Grantor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired”, or similar language.

ARTICLE V.

Default

Section 1. Events of Default. The term “Event of Default” shall mean an Event of Default as defined in the Loan Agreement.

Section 2. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies:

(1) Secured Party may declare the Obligations or any part thereof immediately due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Grantor; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(d) or Section 11.1(e) of the Loan Agreement, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Grantor.

(2) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Secured Party in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing, or relating to the Obligations or any part thereof, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party may (i) without demand or notice to any Grantor, collect, receive, or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and for that purpose Secured Party may enter upon any premises on which the Collateral is located and remove the Collateral therefrom or render it inoperable, and/or (ii) sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery. Upon the request of Secured Party to a Grantor, such Grantor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at any place designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to such Grantor and Secured Party. Each Grantor agrees that Secured Party shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters. Each Grantor shall be liable for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, or the like, and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, legal expenses, and all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the collection of the Obligations and the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement. Secured Party may apply the Collateral against the Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party may elect in its sole discretion. Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full. Each Grantor waives all rights of marshalling in respect of the Collateral.

(3) Secured Party may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of Secured Party or the name or names of Secured Party’s nominee or nominees.

(4) Secured Party may exercise or cause to be exercised all voting rights and corporate powers in respect of the Collateral.

(5) Secured Party shall be entitled to receive all dividends, distributions and income payable in respect of the Collateral, and Secured Party shall be entitled to notify the Non-Corporate Entities and the issuers of the Pledged Equity to pay all such amounts directly to Secured Party. Secured Party shall have the right to apply such amounts to the Obligations in such order as it may determine

(g) Secured Party shall have the right to, but shall not be obligated to, exercise or cause to be exercised all voting rights and powers of the Grantors in respect of the Collateral, and the Grantors shall deliver to Secured Party, if requested by Secured Party, irrevocable proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the Collateral in form satisfactory to Secured Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that, (i) SECURED PARTY SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO PERFORM OR DISCHARGE, NOR DOES SECURED PARTY HEREBY UNDERTAKE TO PERFORM OR DISCHARGE, ANY OBLIGATIONS, DUTY OR LIABILITY OF ANY GRANTOR, UNDER ANY NON-CORPORATE ENTITY AGREEMENT OR ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS OF ANY ISSUER OF ANY PLEDGED EQUITY OR UNDER OR BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT, and (ii) except for acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct, Secured Party shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of any Grantor under this Agreement.

(h) On any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is necessary, in the view of Secured Party’s counsel, in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable governmental authority.

(6) On any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is authorized (i) to disclaim any warranty, express or implied, and (ii) to sell any of the Collateral without any refurbishment or reconditioning thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing actions by Secured Party may reduce the sales proceeds from any such sale of Collateral.

Section 3. Impact of Regulations. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and confirms that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire any shares of the Collateral for their own respective accounts for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor further acknowledges and confirms that any such private sale may result in prices or other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, and Secured Party shall be under no obligation to take any steps in order to permit the Collateral to be sold at a public sale. No Grantor shall attempt to hold Secured Party responsible for selling any of the Collateral at an inadequate price even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received or if only one possible purchaser appears or bids at any such sale. Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for any period of time necessary to permit any issuer thereof to register such Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws. If Secured Party shall sell any Collateral at a private sale, Secured Party shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any qualified appraiser or investment banker as to the commercially reasonable price obtainable on the sale thereof but shall not be obligated to obtain such advice or opinion.

ARTICLE VI.

Miscellaneous

Section 11. Severability.
