powers:

business of the Company using the Intellectual Property and shall have the
right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any
part of the Intellectual Property, at public or private sale or otherwise,

times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the
Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall

which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or
other transfer of Intellectual Property, the Secured Party may, unless

trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of the Company, which are

7. Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of any such sale, lease or
other disposition of the Intellectual Property hereunder shall be applied
first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing
for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes,
fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Intellectual
Property, to the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the
Secured Party in enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with
collecting, storing and disposing of the Intellectual Property, and then to
satisfaction of the Obligations, and to the payment of any other amounts
required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party shall pay to the
Company any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition
of the Intellectual Property, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all
amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Company will be
liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 15%
per annum (the "Default Rate"), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys
employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages and
demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal,
retention or sale of the Intellectual Property, unless due to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party.
8. Costs and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all out-of-pocket
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required
hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements,
continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements

Secured Party. The Company shall also pay all other claims and charges which
in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party might prejudice, imperil or
otherwise affect the Intellectual Property or the Security Interest therein.
The Company will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any
and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its
counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party 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 Intellectual Property, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any
of the rights of the Secured Party under the Notes. Until so paid, any fees
payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Notes and
shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
9. Responsibility for Intellectual Property. The Company assumes all
liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Intellectual Property,
and the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the Notes and the
Warrants shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss,
destruction, damage or theft of any of the Intellectual Property or its
unavailability for any reason.
10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and
all Obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
the Notes, the Warrants or any agreement entered into in connection with the
foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (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 Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
any departure from the Notes, the Warrants or any other agreement entered
into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or
nonperfection of any of the Intellectual Property, or any release or amendment
or waiver of or consent to departure from any other Intellectual Property for,
or any guaranty, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d)
any action by the Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its
sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection
with the Intellectual Property; or (e) any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to the Company,
or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interest granted hereby.
Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights
of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any
reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of
limitations or bankruptcy. The Company 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 Intellectual Property or any
payment received by the Secured Party 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 the
Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Company's 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. The Company waives all right to require the
Secured Party to proceed against any other person or to apply any Intellectual
Property which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets,
or to pursue any other remedy. The Company waives any defense arising by
reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation
secured hereby.
11. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest
shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Notes have been
made in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged. Upon
such termination, the Secured Party, at the request and at the expense of the
Company, will join in executing any termination statement with respect to any
financing statement executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement.
12. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

make, constitute and appoint it, and its respective officers, agents,

Company, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of

14. Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or
hereafter secured by property other than the Intellectual Property or by the
guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or
other entity, then the Secured Party shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other
action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of
the Secured Party's rights and remedies hereunder.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No course of dealing between the Company and the Secured
Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part
of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the
Notes 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 the Secured Party with
respect to the Intellectual Property, whether established hereby or by the
Notes or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.
(c) This Agreement and the Security Agreement constitute the
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
is intended to supersede all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements
with respect thereto. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended except by a written
agreement specifically referring to this Agreement and signed by the parties
hereto.
(d) In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held
to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason,
unless such provision is narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid,
prohibited or unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision
of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to
the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions
of this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
(e) No waiver of any breach or default or any right under this
Agreement shall be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the party
giving such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default or right, whether of the same or similar nature
or otherwise.
(f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each party hereto and its successors and assigns.
(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) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, except to the extent the validity, perfection
or enforcement of a security interest hereunder in respect of any particular
Intellectual Property which are governed by a jurisdiction other than the
State of New York in which case such law shall govern. Each of the parties
hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State
or United States Federal court sitting in Manhattan county over any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or Federal
court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The parties
hereto further waive any objection to venue in the State of New York and any
objection to an action or proceeding in the State of New York on the basis of
forum non conveniens.
(i) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING
OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL
ENCOMPASSING OF ANY DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO
THE SUBJECT MATER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CONTRACT
CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND
STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT
EACH PARTY HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT
AND THAT EACH PARTY WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED
FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS
REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY HAS KNOWINGLY
AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL FOLLOWING SUCH CONSULTATION.
THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO
THE CONTRARY, IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS
WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS AND SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF A LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT
MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
(j) 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.
