SECTION 4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral.
(a) The fair market value of the Pledged Shares held by any Secured Party as of any time of determination shall equal the product of (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares pledged to such Secured Party hereunder and (ii) the quotient of (x) the sum of the two (2) lowest VWAP (as defined in the Notes) of the Common Shares during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately prior to such time of determination, divided by (y) two (2) (subject to adjustment for any share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations and similar events during such measuring period) (the “Pledged Share Value”) and shall at all times equal or exceed the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Note (whether or not then due and payable) of such Secured Party. The Pledgor shall, within five business days following the receipt of notice from such Secured Party that the Pledged Share Value is less than the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Note of such Secured Party, deliver additional shares (“Additional Pledged Shares”) to such Secured Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 4 such that the Pledged Share Value (taking into account the fair market value of such Additional Pledged Shares) shall be no less than the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Note.
(b) In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Pledgor shall deliver to each of the Secured Parties as of date hereof a certificate with respect to the Pledged Shares to be initially held by such Security Party in such amounts as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. As of any given date, with respect to all other promissory notes, certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time or required to be pledged to the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Securities Purchase Agreement, including without limitation, any Additional Pledged Shares required to be pledged in accordance with Section 4(a) above (collectively the “Additional Collateral”) such amount equal to a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the principal amount of such Secured Party’s Note on such given date and (ii) the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes outstanding as of such given date (the “Secured Party Pro Rata Amount”) of such Additional Collateral shall be delivered to each Secured Party promptly upon receipt thereof by or on behalf of the Pledgor. All such promissory notes, certificates and instruments shall be held by each Secured Party pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment or undated share powers executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Parties. If any Pledged Collateral consists of uncertificated securities, unless the immediately following sentence is applicable thereto, the Pledgor shall cause the applicable Secured Party (or its designated custodian, nominee or other designee) to become the registered holder thereof, or cause each issuer of such securities to agree that it will comply with instructions originated by the applicable Secured Party (or its designated custodian, nominee or other designee), with respect to such securities without further consent by the Pledgor. If any Pledged Collateral consists of securities entitlements, the Pledgor shall transfer the applicable Secured Party Pro Rata Amount of such securities entitlements to each Secured Party (or its designated custodian, nominee or other designee) or cause the applicable securities intermediary to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders by such Secured Party (or its designated custodian, nominee or other designee) without further consent by the Pledgor.
(c) Promptly upon the receipt by the Pledgor of any Additional Collateral and contemporaneously with any delivery of Additional Pledged Shares in accordance with Section 4(a), a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by the Pledgor, in substantially the form of Annex I hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”), shall be delivered to each Secured Party, in respect of the Additional Collateral which is or are to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, which Pledge Amendment shall from and after delivery thereof constitute part of Schedule I hereto. The Pledgor hereby authorizes each Secured Party to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all promissory notes, certificates or instruments listed on any Pledge Amendment shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral and the Pledgor shall be deemed upon delivery thereof to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 with respect to such Additional Collateral.

(d) If the Pledgor shall receive, by virtue of the Pledgor’s being or having been an owner of any Pledged Collateral, any (i) share certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a share dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, share split, spin-off or split-off), promissory note or other instrument, (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, or otherwise, (iii) dividends payable in cash (except such dividends permitted to be retained by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 8 hereof) or in securities or other property or (iv) dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus (collectively, the “Distribution Collateral”), the Pledgor shall hold such Distribution Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall segregate it from the Pledgor’s other property and shall deliver the applicable Secured Party Pro Rata Amount of such Distribution Collateral forthwith to each Secured Party in the exact form received, with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate share powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the each Secured Party as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 5. Taxes.
(a) All payments made by the Pledgor hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made in accordance with the terms of the respective Transaction Document and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense. All such payments shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Secured Party by the jurisdiction in which such Secured Party is organized or where it has its principal lending office (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If the Pledgor shall be required to deduct or to withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any other Transaction Document:
(i) the amount so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including Taxes on amounts payable to any Secured Party pursuant to this sentence) each Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made,
(ii) the Pledgor shall make such deduction or withholding,
(iii) the Pledgor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority in accordance with applicable law, and
(iv) as promptly as possible thereafter, the Pledgor shall send the Secured Parties an official receipt (or, if an official receipt is not available, such other documentation as shall be satisfactory to the Secured Parties, as the case may be) showing payment. In addition, the Pledgor agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).
(b) The Pledgor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Secured Party (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5) paid by any Indemnified Party as a result of any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses for nonpayment, late payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be paid within 30 days from the date on which such Secured Party makes written demand therefor, which demand shall identify the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
4 |
(c) If the Pledgor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 5, the Pledgor shall indemnify each Secured Party for any taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure. The obligations of the Pledgor under this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Pledge Agreement and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Pledgor has all requisite [legal capacity], power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except (a) as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ and other obligees’ rights and (b) where the remedy of specific performance or other forms of equitable relief may be subject to certain equitable defenses and principles and to the discretion of the court before which the proceeding may be brought.
(b) The Pledged Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and the holders thereof are not entitled to any preemptive first refusal or other similar rights. All other shares constituting Pledged Collateral will be, when issued, duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(c) The Pledgor is and will be at all times the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral free and clear of any Lien, security interest, option or other charge or encumbrance except for the security interest and Lien created by this Agreement or any Permitted Liens.
(d) The exercise by any Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies hereunder will not contravene any law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Pledgor or any of the properties of the Pledgor and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the properties of the Pledgor other than pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”).
(e) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority is required to be obtained or made by the Pledgor for (i) the due execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement, (ii) the grant by the Pledgor, or the perfection, of the security interest and Lien purported to be created hereby in the Pledged Collateral or (iii) the exercise by any Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, except as may be required in connection with any sale of any Pledged Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally.
(f) This Agreement creates a valid security interest and Xxxx in favor of the Secured Parties in the Pledged Collateral, as security for the Secured Obligations. Each Secured Party having possession of the certificates representing the Pledged Shares and all other certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time results in the perfection of such security interest and Lien. Such security interest and Lien is, or in the case of Pledged Collateral in which the Pledgor obtains rights after the date hereof, will be, a perfected Lien, subject only to the Permitted Liens. All action necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest and Xxxx has been duly taken, except for such Secured Party’s having possession of certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral after the date hereof.
SECTION 7. Covenants as to the Pledged Collateral. So long as any Secured Obligations shall remain outstanding, the Pledgor will, unless the Required Holders, shall otherwise consent in writing:

(i) not issue any share certificate, certificated security or other instrument to evidence or represent any share capital, any partnership interest or membership interest described in Schedule I hereto; and

(i) the Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Notes;
6 |
(ii) the Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest or other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent permitted by the Securities Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that any and all (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, together with any dividend, distribution, interest or other payment which at the time of such dividend, distribution, interest or other payment was not permitted by the Securities Purchase Agreement, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to each Secured Party in proportion to their Secured Party Pro Rata Amount to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of such Secured Party, shall be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgor, and shall be forthwith delivered to such Secured Party in the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate share powers duly executed in blank, to be held by such Secured Party as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations; and
(iii) each Secured Party will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section 8(a) and to receive the dividends, distributions, interest and other payments which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this Section 8(a), in each case, to the extent that such Secured Party has possession of such Pledged Collateral.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) (an “Event of Default”), :
(i) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which he would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) of subsection (a) of this Section 8, and to receive the dividends, distributions, interest and other payments which he would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section 8, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in each Secured Party which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, distributions, interest and other payments;
(ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party may at his option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of any issuer of the Pledged Collateral or upon the exercise by any issuer of the Pledged Collateral of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Parties may determine; and

SECTION 9. Additional Provisions Concerning the Pledged Collateral.
7 |
(a) The Pledgor hereby (i) authorizes the Secured Parties to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Pledged Collateral, without the signature of the Pledgor where permitted by law, (ii) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Secured Parties has filed any such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, without the signature of the Pledgor prior to the date hereof and (iii) authorizes each Secured Party to execute any agreements, instruments or other documents in the Pledgor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents that are related to the security interest and Lien of each Secured Party in the Pledged Collateral or as provided under Article 8 or Article 9 of the Code or any other applicable uniform commercial code or other law in any appropriate filing office. Not withstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Secured Party shall have any responsibility for the preparing, recording, filing, re-recording, or re-filing of any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument in any public office.
(b) The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints each Secured Party as his attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and xxxxx and in his name or otherwise, from time to time in the Secured Parties’ discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured Parties may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of the Pledgor under Section 8(a) hereof), including, without limitation, to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of any Pledged Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement.
(c) If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, each Secured Party may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of such Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 11 hereof and shall be secured by the Pledged Collateral.
(d) Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while held hereunder, no Secured Party shall have any duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to any of the Pledgor. Each Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which such Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that no Secured Party shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not such Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral. Each Secured Party agrees that, with respect to any Pledged Collateral at any time or times in its possession and in which any other Secured Party has a Lien, the Secured Party in possession of any such Pledged Collateral shall be the bailee of each other Secured Party solely for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) each other Secured Party’s Lien in such Pledged Collateral, provided that no Secured Party shall be obligated to obtain or retain possession of any such Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Parties and Pledgor hereby agree that any Secured Party that is in possession of any Pledged Collateral at such time as the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Party have been paid in full may deliver such Pledged Collateral to the Company or, if requested by any Secured Party prior to such delivery, may deliver such Pledged Collateral (unless otherwise restricted by applicable law or court order and subject in all events to the receipt of an indemnification of all liabilities arising from such delivery) to the requesting Secured Party, without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Secured Party in such possession. No later than the third business day after the Company’s receipt of such Pledged Collateral, the Company shall deliver to each Secured Party with Secured Obligations then outstanding the applicable Secured Party Pro Rata Amount of such Pledged Collateral.
(e) The powers conferred on each Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, no Secured Party shall have any duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.
8 |
(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Default or Event of Default, each Secured Party may at any time in its discretion (i) without notice to the Pledgor, transfer or register in the name of such Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights of the Pledgor under Section 8(a) hereof, and (ii) exchange certificates or instruments constituting Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
SECTION 10. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) Each Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code then in effect in the State of New York; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as such Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to any of the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. No Secured Party shall be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Each Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale by such Secured Party from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) The Pledgor recognizes that it may be impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that each Secured Party may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that no Secured Party shall have any obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen (15) bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9-610 of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then in effect in the State of New York, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that any Secured Party may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.
(c) Any cash held by any Secured Party as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by such Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to such Secured Party pursuant to Section 11 hereof) by such Secured Party against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as such Secured Party shall elect consistent with the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(d) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which any Secured Party is legally entitled, the Pledgor shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in the Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of any attorneys employed by such Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 11. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) The Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each Secured Party (and all of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities arising or resulting directly from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) The Pledgor shall be obligated for, and will upon demand pay to each Secured Party the reasonable amount of any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of such Secured Party’s counsel and of any experts which such Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of such Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 12. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), sent by Federal Express or other recognized courier service (return receipt requested), telecopied or delivered, if to the Pledgor, to him at the address specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement or if to the Secured Parties, to it at the address specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement; or as to either such Person at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 12. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, when received or three (3) Business Days after mailing, whichever first occurs, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation is received, provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day or (iii) if delivered or sent by Federal Express or other recognized courier service (return receipt requested), upon delivery, provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day.
SECTION 13. Security Interest Absolute.

SECTION 14. Beneficial Ownership. Each Secured Party shall not have the right to exercise its rights under this Agreement and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such applicable Secured Party together with its other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by a Secured Party and its other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares held by such Secured Party and all its other Attribution Parties plus the number of Common Shares to be acquired by such Secured Party with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the remaining Common Shares pledged to such Secured Party that are not then being acquired upon such Secured Party’s exercise of its right hereunder and any Common Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of the Note beneficially owned by such Secured Party or any its other Attribution Parties, (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants, including, without limitation, the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Secured Party or any its other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 14. For purposes of this Section 14, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding Common Shares a Secured Party may acquire upon exercise of its rights hereunder at any time of determination without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, each Secured Party may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Report of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Secured Party, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Secured party the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In the event that the exercise of rights by a Secured Party hereunder and transfer of Common Shares from the Pledgor to such Secured Party hereunder would result in such Secured Party and its other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Common Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the transfer from the Pledgor to such Secured Party of such number of shares by which such Secured Party’s and its other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Secured Party shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, a Secured Party may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Secured Party and its other Attribution Parties and not to any other Secured Party that is not an Attribution Party of such Secured Party. For purposes of clarity, the Common Shares in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Secured Party for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability of a Secured Party to exercise its rights hereunder and acquire any Common Shares from the Xxxxxxx to such Secured Party pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of transferability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 14 to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 14 or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor Secured Party.

Each Secured Party hereby further acknowledges and represents that the other Secured Parties have not made any representations or warranties to it concerning the Pledgor, any of the Pledged Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents. Each Secured Party also hereby acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Secured Parties, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in taking or refraining to take any other action under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. No Secured Party shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any other Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to such Secured Party by the Pledgor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or assets of the Company (or any of its affiliates) or any Pledgor which may come into possession of such Secured Party
