(a) |
any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Seller in this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Documents, or any certificate, document, schedule, exhibit, or instrument executed in connection herewith or therewith; |
(b) |
any liability, cost or expense arising out of or relating to any claim by any Person for a broker’s or finder’s fee incurred as a result of any agreement or understanding of Seller with any Persons in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and |

any damage, liability, obligation or commitment of any nature incurred by Seller, or due to third party claim, or relating to the Assets; |
(c) |
any and all Proceedings, demands, assessments, audits or judgments arising out of any of the foregoing. |
5
Section 7.03. Notice. If an indemnified Party (the “Claimant”) believes that such Party has suffered or incurred any Indemnity Loss, it shall so notify the Party which the Claimant believes has an obligation to indemnify (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing describing such loss or expense, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such loss or expense, all with reasonable particularity (the “Indemnification Notice”). If any action at Law, suit in equity, or administrative action is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which the Claimant intends to claim any liability or expense as an Indemnity Loss under this Article VII, it shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such action or suit describing such loss or expense, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such loss or expense, all with reasonable particularity (the “Litigation Notice”) in lieu of an Indemnification Notice. To the extent failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such action or suit can reasonably be deemed to increase the liability or expense to the Claimant, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to reimburse Claimant for the amount of such increase in liability or expense.
Section 7.04. Defense of Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the Litigation Notice to notify the Claimant that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Claimant with respect to the Indemnity Loss set forth in the Litigation Notice and that it elects to conduct and control any legal or administrative action or suit with respect to an indemnifiable claim (the “Election Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party does not give the foregoing Election Notice, the Claimant shall have the right to defend, contest, settle, or compromise such action or suit in the exercise of Claimant’s exclusive discretion; provided, however, that the right of Claimant to indemnification hereunder shall not be conclusively established thereby. If the Indemnifying Party gives the foregoing Election Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake, conduct, and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its sole expense, the conduct and settlement of such action or suit, and the Claimant shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, however, that (a) the Indemnifying Party shall not thereby consent to the imposition of any injunction against the Claimant without the written consent of the Claimant, (b) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Claimant to participate in such conduct or settlement through legal counsel chosen by the Claimant, except as provided in clause (c) below, (c) upon a final determination of such action or suit, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Claimant, to the extent required under this Article VII, for the full amount of any Indemnity Loss incurred by the Claimant, except fees and expenses of legal counsel that the Claimant incurred after the assumption of the conduct and control of such action or suit by the Indemnifying Party in good faith, and (d) the Claimant shall have the right to pay or settle any such action or suit, provided, however, that in the event of such payment or settlement, the Claimant shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party and no amount in respect thereof shall be claimed as an Indemnity Loss under this Article VII. In the event of a payment or settlement under this Section 7.04, the Claimant shall also reimburse the Indemnifying Party for fees and costs incurred by the Indemnifying Party prior to the payment or settlement.
Section 7.05. Payment of Losses. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Claimant in cash the amount to which the Claimant may become entitled by reason of the provisions of this Article VII within fifteen (15) business days after such amount is finally determined either by mutual agreement of the parties or the date on which both such amount and Claimant’s obligation to pay such amount have been determined by a final judgment of the trial court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Proceeding.

Without limiting the foregoing, it shall not be deemed unreasonable for the Seller to withhold consent to any such sale or assignment to an Affiliate of the Purchaser (i) until Seller receives substantially similar securities in such Affiliate (including secured convertible notes and any capital stock issued or issuable thereon) in exchange for the securities in the Purchaser held by the Seller (including the Note and any capital stock issued or issuable thereon), (ii) unless Seller receives substantially similar rights from such Affiliate as Seller has from the Purchaser at the time of such assignment, and (iii) unless such Affiliate has substantially similar obligations to Seller as Purchaser has to the Seller at the time of such assignment.

No delay or omission of the Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.01 below) occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Debenture or by law may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Holder. The Holder may waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
17ARTICLE III.
Section 3.01 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” is defined as follows: (a) failure by the Company to pay amounts due hereunder within fifteen (15) days of the due date therefor, or failure of the Company to pay amounts due under the Purchase Agreement, Security Agreement, any other Ancillary Document (as defined by the Purchase Agreement) or any other agreement between the Holder and the Company on the due date therefor; (b) failure by the Company for thirty (30) days after notice to it to comply with any of its covenants and agreements in this Debenture, the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement, any other Ancillary Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or any other agreement between the Holder and the Company, other than the non-payment failures which are covered by subsection (a) above and non-registration failures which are covered by subsection (d) below; (c) events of bankruptcy or insolvency; (d) a breach by the Company of its Registration Rights obligations under Section 1.04 of this Debenture which is not cured by the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof; or (e) any representation, warranty or statement of fact made by the Company in this Debenture, the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement, any other Ancillary Document (as defined by the Purchase Agreement) or any other agreement, schedule, confirmatory assignment or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall when made or deemed made be false or misleading in any material respect. The Holder may not enforce this Debenture except as provided herein.
In each case where an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default specified in subsection (c) above), the Holder, by notice to the Company, may, in its sole discretion, declare this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable; provided that if an Event of Default specified in subsection (c) occurs, this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holder.
Section 3.02 Failure to Issue Unrestricted Common Stock. As indicated above, a breach by the Company under its Registration Rights obligations under Section 1.04 shall be deemed an Event of Default, which if not cured with ten (10) days, shall entitle the Holder accelerated full payment of all debentures outstanding. The Company acknowledges that failure to honor a Notice of Conversion shall cause hardship to the Holder.
ARTICLE IV.

In the event the Company shall propose to take any action of the types described above, the Company shall forward, at the same time and in the same manner, to the Holder of such notice, if any, which the Company shall give to the holders of capital stock of the Company. Whenever a Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 4.01, the Company shall prepare a statement showing the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment. The Company shall cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holder.

Until sale thereof, the Secured Party may store the Collateral on the premises where it is located when seized, and if said premises are the property of the Debtor, the Debtor agrees not to charge the Secured Party for storage thereof. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market, the Secured Party will give the Debtor reasonable notice of time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition will be made. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is delivered to the Debtor at least five (5) days before the time of the sale or disposition.

The Debtor shall be liable to the Secured Party and shall pay to the Secured Party on demand any deficiency which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of Collateral, and the Secured Party in turn agrees to remit to the Debtor, or other such Persons as their interests may appear, any surplus remaining after all such liabilities have been paid in full.
(c) To facilitate the exercise by the Secured Party of the rights and remedies set forth in this Section, the Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party or any other Person whom the Secured Party may designate, as attorney-in-fact for the Debtor, coupled with an interest, at the Debtor’s expense, (i) to exercise all or any of the foregoing powers, and other powers incidental to the foregoing, and (ii) to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement.
(d) In the event that the Secured Party seeks to take possession of any or all Collateral by court process, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives any bonds and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession, and waives any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover with respect thereto and waives the right to demand a jury in any action in which the Secured Party is a party.
8. Attorneys’ Fees, etc. Upon any Event of Default, the Secured Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses for pursuing, searching for, receiving, taking, keeping, storing, advertising and selling the Collateral shall be chargeable to the Debtor.
9. Other Rights. In addition to all rights and remedies herein, upon any Event of Default, the Secured Party shall have such other rights and remedies as are set forth in the XXX.

THE DEBTOR FURTHER WAIVES, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BENEFITS OF ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT, EXEMPTION, STAY, REDEMPTION AND MORATORIUM LAWS. THE DEBTOR FURTHER WAIVES ANY REQUIREMENT THAT THE SECURED PARTY OBTAIN A BOND OR OTHER SIMILAR DEVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY REMEDY OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY RIGHT HEREUNDER.
11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, CONSENT, WAIVER, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THEM OR ARISING FROM ANY RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
12. Enforcement by the Secured Party. The Secured Party shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Security Agreement and all other agreements, documents and instruments required hereunder in strict accordance with their terms, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of the Secured Party in refraining from doing so at any time or times. The failure of the Secured Party at any time to enforce any rights under such provisions strictly in accordance with the same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific provisions of this Security Agreement or as having in any way or manner modified or waived the same. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party are cumulative and the exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed to waive or release any other right or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party shall have the right to exercise any available remedy to recover any amount due and payable hereunder without regard to whether any other amount is due and payable and the Secured Party shall have the right to foreclose any mortgage or security interest or proceed under any guaranty or other agreement pertaining to the Obligations without also being required to foreclose any other mortgage or security interest or proceed against any other guaranty or agreement and without thereby waiving or prejudicing its right to foreclose any other such mortgage or security interest or proceed under any other such guaranty or agreement or impairing any of its rights thereunder.

(d) The Debtor hereby waives demand presentment and notice of nonpayment with respect to any note or contract representing all or any part of the Obligations (including without limitation the Note). The Debtor also waives its rights, if any, under Section 9-208 of the UCC.
(e) In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement, or any of the documents or agreements contemplated hereby, should be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein, or therein, shall not be in any way affected or impaired thereby.

All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by the Debtor pursuant to this Security Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement shall constitute representations and warranties by the Debtor under this Security Agreement. All agreements contained herein shall survive indefinitely until, by their respective terms, they are no longer operative.
(g) This Security Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof and supersede all prior arrangements or understandings with respect thereto.

27(h) This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement (notwithstanding that all of the parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart, or that signature pages from different counterparts are combined), and it shall not be necessary when making proof of this Security Agreement or any counterpart thereof to account for any other counterpart, and the signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed to be a signature to and may be appended to any other counterpart. For purposes of this Security Agreement, a document (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by facsimile machine or other electronic means is to be treated as an original document. The signature of any party on any such document, for purposes hereof, is to be considered as an original signature, and the document transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document. At the request of any party, any facsimile or other electronic signature is to be re-executed in original form by the parties which executed the facsimile or other electronic signature. No party may raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means, or the fact that any signature was transmitted through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means, as a defense to the enforcement of this Security Agreement.
