familiar with, the nature of the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of securities. In
particular, the Holder agrees that no sale, assignment, or transfer of this Note
or such securities shall be valid or effective, and the Company shall not be

register the Notes or such securities except as otherwise set forth herein or in
other agreements, including the RRL, executed and delivered by the Company

Rights of Secured

Secured Party shall have the right to declare all of the Obligations to be
immediately due and payable and shall then have the rights and remedies of
a secured party under the UCC or under any other applicable law,
including, without limitations, the right to take possession of the
Collateral, and in addition thereto, the right to enter upon any premises
on which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and remove the
same therefrom and the right to occupy the Debtor’s premises for the
purposes of liquidating Collateral, including without limitation,
conducting an auction thereon, Secured Party may require the Debtor to
take the Collateral (to the extent the same is moveable) available to
Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured
Party. Secured Party may, at its option, sell the Collateral on
credit, and furthermore may sell the Collateral without giving any
warranties as to the Collateral and my specifically disclaim any
warranties of title or the like, which shall not be considered to
adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the
Collateral. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline
speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market,
Secured Party will give the Debtor at least ten (10) days prior written
notice at the address of the Debtor set forth above (or at such other
address or addresses as the Debtor shall specify in writing to Secured
Party) of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time
after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is
to be made. Any such notice shall be deemed to meet any
requirement hereunder or under any applicable law (including the UCC) that
reasonable notification be given of the time and place of such sale or
other disposition. After deducting all costs and expenses of
collection, storage, custody, sale or other disposition and delivery
(including reasonable attorney’s fees) and all other reasonable charges
against the Collateral, the residue of the Proceeds of any such sale or
disposition shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such
order of priority as Secured Party shall determine and any surplus shall
be returned to the Debtor or to any person or party lawfully entitled
thereto. In the event the Proceeds of any such sale or
disposition shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such
order of priority as Secured Party shall determine and any surplus shall
be returned to the Debtor or to any person or party lawfully entitled
thereto. In the event the Proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition
of the Collateral hereunder, including without limitation, the Proceeds
from the collection of Accounts, are insufficient to pay all of the
Obligations in full, the Debtor will be liable for the deficiency,
together with interest thereon, at the maximum rate allowable by law, and
the costs and expenses of collection of such deficiency, including (to the
extent permitted by law) without limitation, attorneys fees, expenses and
disbursements.
