or
other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by
each
Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Debtor and no further
action is required by such Debtor. This Agreement has been duly executed
by each
Debtor. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
of
each Debtor, enforceable against each Debtor in accordance with its terms
except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting
the rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of
equity.
(b)
The
Debtors have no place of business or offices where their respective books
of
account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its
attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located,
except as set forth on Schedule
A
attached
hereto. Except as specifically set forth on Schedule
A,
each
Debtor is the record owner of the real property where such Collateral is
located, and there exist no mortgages or other liens on any such real property
except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Notes). Except as disclosed

none of
such Collateral is in the possession of any consignee, bailee, warehouseman,

granted by any Debtor in the ordinary course of business), free and clear
of any
liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and are fully
authorized to grant the Security Interest. There is not on file in any
governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective
financing statement, security agreement, license or transfer or any notice
of
any of the foregoing (other than those that will be filed in favor of the
Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting any of
the
Collateral. So long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Debtors shall
not
execute and shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or
agency any such financing statement or other document or instrument (except
to
the extent filed or recorded in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to
the
terms of this Agreement).
9
(d)
No
written claim has been received that any Collateral or Debtor’s use of any
Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no adverse
decision to any Debtor's claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights
to use
the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to any Debtor's right to keep and maintain
such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no proceeding involving
said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of any Debtor, threatened before
any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator
or
other governmental authority.
(e)
Each
Debtor shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating
to
the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the
locations set forth on Schedule
A
attached
hereto and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible
Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Parties at least 30 days prior
to
such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location
thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that
appropriate financing statements under the UCC and other necessary documents
have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the
Security Interest to create in favor of the Secured Parties a valid, perfected
and continuing perfected first priority lien in the Collateral.
(f)
This
Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Parties a valid, security interest
in
the Collateral, securing the payment and performance of the Obligations.
Upon
making the filings described in the immediately following paragraph, all
security interests created hereunder in any Collateral which may be perfected
by
filing UCC financing statements shall have been duly perfected. Except for
the
filing of the UCC financing statements referred to in the immediately following
paragraph, the
execution and delivery of deposit account control agreements satisfying the
requirements of Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC with respect to each deposit
account of the Debtors,
and the
delivery of the certificates and other instruments provided in Section
4,
no
action is necessary to create, perfect or protect the security interests
created
hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for the
filing of said financing statements, and the execution and delivery of said
deposit account control agreements, no consent of any third parties and no
authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with,
any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required for (i) the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the creation or perfection
of
the Security Interests created hereunder in the Collateral or (iii) the
enforcement of the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder.
(g)
Each
Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Parties, or any of them, to file one
or
more financing statements under the UCC, with respect to the Security Interest
with the proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction deemed
proper
by them.
10
(h)
The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Debtors does
not
(i) violate any of the provisions of any Organizational Documents of any
Debtor
or any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or
arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to any Debtor
or
(ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice
or
lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or
other
instrument (evidencing any Debtor’s debt or otherwise) or other understanding to
which any Debtor is a party or by which any property or asset of any Debtor
is
bound or affected. No consent (including, without limitation, from stockholders
or creditors of any Debtor) is required for any Debtor to enter into and
perform
its obligations hereunder.
(i)
The
capital stock and other equity interests listed on Schedule
H
hereto
represent all of the capital stock and other equity interests of the Guarantors,
and represent all capital stock and other equity interests owned, directly
or
indirectly, by the Company. All of the Pledged Securities are validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company is the legal and beneficial
owner
of the Pledged Securities, free and clear of any lien, security interest
or
other encumbrance except for the security interests created by this Agreement
and other Permitted Liens (as defined in the Note). The
issuance and sale of the Notes will not obligate the Company to issue shares
of
Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Secured Parties)
and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust
the
exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such
securities.
(j)
Each
Debtor shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided
for
hereunder as valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests
in
the Collateral in favor of the Secured Parties until this Agreement and the
Security Interest hereunder shall be terminated pursuant to Section 14 hereof.
Each Debtor hereby agrees to defend the same against the claims of any and
all
persons and entities. Each Debtor shall safeguard and protect all Collateral
for
the account of the Secured Parties. At the request of the Secured Parties,
each
Debtor will sign and deliver to the Secured Parties at any time or from time
to
time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Secured Parties and will pay the cost of filing the same
in
all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Secured Parties
to
be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided
for
herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor shall
pay
all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and
the
Security Interest hereunder, and each Debtor shall obtain and furnish to
the
Secured Parties from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or
subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to maintain the
priority of the Security Interest hereunder.
(k)
No
Debtor
will transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license, sell or otherwise
dispose
of any of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by a
Debtor
in its ordinary course of business and sales of inventory by a Debtor in
its
ordinary course of business) without the prior written consent of a Majority

(l) Each
Debtor shall keep and preserve its equipment, inventory and other tangible
Collateral in good condition, repair and order and shall not operate or locate
any such Collateral (or cause to be operated or located) in any area excluded
from insurance coverage.
(m) Each
Debtor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance
with respect to the Collateral against loss or damage of the kinds and in
the
amounts customarily insured against by entities of established reputation
having
similar properties similarly situated and in such amounts as are customarily
carried under similar circumstances by other such entities and otherwise
as is
prudent for entities engaged in similar businesses but in any event sufficient
to cover the full replacement cost thereof. Each Debtor shall cause each
insurance policy issued in connection herewith to provide, and the insurer
issuing such policy to certify to the Agent that (a) the Agent will be named
as
lender loss payee and additional insured under each such insurance policy;
(b)
if such insurance be proposed to be cancelled for non-payment of premium,
such
insurer will promptly notify the Agent and such cancellation or change shall
not
be effective as to the Agent for at least ten (10) days after receipt by
the
Agent of such notice, unless the effect of such change is to extend or increase
coverage under the policy; and (c) the Agent will have the right (but no
obligation) at its election to remedy any default in the payment of premiums
within ten (10) days of notice from the insurer of such default. If no Event
of
Default (as defined in the Note) exists and if the proceeds arising out of
any
claim or series of related claims do not exceed $100,000, loss payments in
each
instance will be applied by the applicable Debtor to the repair and/or
replacement of property with respect to which the loss was incurred to the
extent reasonably feasible, and any loss payments or the balance thereof
remaining, to the extent not so applied, shall be payable to the applicable
Debtor, provided, however, that payments received by any Debtor after an
Event
of Default occurs and is continuing or in excess of $100,000 for any occurrence
or series of related occurrences shall be paid to the Agent and, if received
by
such Debtor, shall be held in trust for and immediately paid over to the
Agent
unless otherwise directed in writing by the Agent. Copies of such policies
or
the related certificates, in each case, naming the Agent as lender loss payee
and additional insured shall be delivered to the Agent at least annually
and at
the time any new policy of insurance is issued.
(n)
Each
Debtor shall, within ten (10) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise
the
Secured Parties promptly, in sufficient detail, of any substantial change
in the
Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would have a Material
Adverse Effect on the value of the Collateral or on the Secured Parties’
security interest therein.
(o)
Each
Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Parties such further
deeds, mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements
or

sole
discretion deem necessary to perfect, protect or enforce its security interest
in the Collateral.

(p)
Each
Debtor shall take all steps reasonably necessary to diligently pursue and
seek
to preserve, enforce and collect any rights, claims, causes of action and
accounts receivable in respect of the Collateral.
(q)
Each
Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Parties in sufficient detail upon
becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process
levied against any Collateral and of any other information received by such
Debtor that may materially affect the value of the Collateral, the Security
Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties
hereunder.
(r)
All
information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Secured Parties
by
or on behalf of any Debtor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and
complete in all material respects as of the date furnished.
(s)
No
Debtor
will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization,
organizational identification number (if it has one), legal or corporate
structure, or identity, or add any new fictitious name unless it provides
at
least 30 days prior written notice to the Secured Parties of such change
and, at
the time of such written notification, such Debtor provides any financing
statements or fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue perfected
the
perfected security Interest granted and evidenced by this
Agreement.
(t)
No
Debtor
may relocate its chief executive office to a new location without providing
30
days prior written notification thereof to the Secured Parties and so long
as,
at the time of such written notification, such Debtor provides any financing
statements or fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue perfected
the
perfected security Interest granted and evidenced by this
Agreement.
(u) Each
Debtor was organized and remains organized solely under the laws of the state
set forth next to such Debtor’s name in the first paragraph of this Agreement.
Schedule
D

Debtor does not have one, states that one does not exist.
(v)
(i) The
actual name of each Debtor is the name set forth on the signature pages hereto;
(ii) no Debtor has any trade names except as set forth on Schedule

or as
previously disclosed in the periodic reports filed on XXXXX with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
(w) At
any
time and from time to time that any Collateral consists of instruments,
certificated securities or other items that require or permit possession
by the
secured party to perfect the security interest created hereby, the applicable
Debtor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent.
13
(x) Upon
the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, if there is
any
investment property or deposit account included as Collateral that can be
perfected by “control” through an account control agreement, the applicable
Debtor shall cause such an account control agreement, in form and substance
in
each case satisfactory to the Secured Parties, to be entered into and delivered
to the Secured Parties at the request of the Agent.
(y)
To
the
extent that any Collateral is in the possession of any third party, the
applicable Debtor shall join with the Secured Parties in notifying such third
party of the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Collateral and shall use
its best efforts to obtain an acknowledgement and agreement from such third
party with respect to the Collateral, in form and substance satisfactory
to the
Secured Parties.
(z) Each
Debtor shall cause each subsidiary
of such
Debtor to immediately become a party hereto (an “Additional
Debtor”),
by
executing and delivering an Additional Debtor Joinder in substantially the
form
of Annex
A
attached
hereto and comply with the provisions hereof applicable to the Debtors.
Concurrent therewith, the Additional Debtor shall deliver replacement schedules
for, or supplements to all other Schedules to (or referred to in) this

with the same rights and obligations as the Debtors, for all purposes hereof
as
fully and to the same extent as if it were an original signatory hereto and
shall be deemed to have made the representations, warranties and covenants
set
forth herein as of the date of execution and delivery of such Additional
Debtor
Joinder, and all references herein to the “Debtors” shall be deemed to include
each Additional Debtor.
(aa)
Each
Debtor shall vote the Pledged Securities to comply with the covenants and
agreements set forth herein and in the Notes.
(bb) Each
Debtor shall register the pledge of the applicable Pledged Securities on
the
books of such Debtor. Each Debtor shall notify each issuer of Pledged Securities
to register the pledge of the applicable Pledged Securities in the name of
the
Secured Parties on the books of such issuer. Further, except with respect
to
certificated securities delivered to the Agent, the applicable Debtor shall
deliver to Agent an acknowledgement of pledge (which, where appropriate,

as may be necessary to effect the transfer, and will comply with all other
instructions of Agent regarding such Pledged Securities without the further
consent of the applicable Debtor.
14
(cc)
In
the
event that, upon an occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall sell all
or
any of the Pledged Securities to another party or parties (herein called
the
“Transferee”)
or

and
indirect subsidiaries.
(dd) Each
Debtor will from time to time, at the joint and several expense of the Debtors,
promptly execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents,

(ee) Schedule

hereto lists all of the patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, registered copyrights, and domain names owned by any of the

patents and trademarks of the Debtors have been duly recorded at the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and all material copyrights of the Debtors
have been duly recorded at the United States Copyright Office.
(ff) Except
as

Assignment of Claims Act or any similar federal, state or local statute or
rule
in respect of such Collateral.
(gg) Schedule
H
hereto
sets forth the expected use of proceeds from this financing.
(hh) The
Company shall, by 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on or before the 4th
business
day following the date hereof, issue a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing
the
material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and each
Secured Party shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company
nor any Secured Party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make
any
such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect
to
any press release of any Secured Party, or without the prior consent of each
Secured Party, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure
is
required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide
the
other party with prior notice of such public statement or
communication.
15
(ii) The
Company and the Subsidiaries, severally and jointly, will indemnify and hold
each Secured Party and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners,
employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role
of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any
other title), each Person who controls such Secured Party (within the meaning
of
Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and
the
directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees
(and
any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding
such
titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such
controlling person (each, a “Indemnified
Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation that any such Indemnified Party may suffer or incur as a result
of
or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Secured Party,
or
any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company
who is not an Affiliate of such Secured Party, with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action
is
based upon a breach of such Secured Party’s representations, warranties or
covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
such Secured Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by
the
Secured Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such
Secured
Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or
malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party
in
respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company
shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own
choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Any Indemnified
Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that
(i)
the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in
writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to
assume
such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the
reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material
issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Indemnified
Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable
fees
and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will
not be
liable to any Indemnified Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement
by a
Indemnified Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (ii) to the extent, but
only to
the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any
Indemnified Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by such Indemnified Party in this Agreement or in the
other
Transaction Documents.
16
(jj) To
the
extent that the Company or any Subsidiary makes a payment or payments to
any
Secured Party pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Secured Party enforces
or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds
of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company or any Subsidiary, a trustee, receiver or any other person
under
any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any
such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
(kk)To
the
extent it may lawfully do so, the Company and the Subsidiaries hereby agrees
not
to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist
any
and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury
laws
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with
any
claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Secured Party in order
to
enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement or the Note. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Note, it
is
expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under
this
Agreement or the Note for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed
the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum
Rate”),
and,
without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or
default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in
the
nature of interest that the Company or any Subsidiary may be obligated to
pay
under this Agreement or the Note exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that
if
the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to this
Agreement or the Note is increased or decreased by statute or any official
governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract
rate
of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to this Agreement
or the Note from the effective date forward, unless such application is
precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest
in
excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company or any Subsidiary to any
Secured Party with respect to indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or
the
Note, such excess shall be applied by such Secured Party to the unpaid principal
balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company or any
Subsidiary, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Secured Party’s
election.
(ll) The
Warrants are duly authorized and, upon the execution of this Agreement by
a
Secured Party will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company other than restrictions
on
transfer provided for in the Purchase Agreement. The Warrant Shares, when
issued
in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully
paid
and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company. The
Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock a number of shares
of Common Stock for issuance of the Warrant Shares at least equal to the
Required Minimum.
17
(mm) Based
on
the financial condition of the Company following its receipt of payment for
the
Notes, (i) the Company's fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount
that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company's existing
debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they
mature; (ii) the Company's assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital
to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and
as
proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account
the
particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company,
and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii)
the
current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company
would
receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account
all
anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or
in
respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company
does
not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature
(taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in
respect of its debt).
(nn) At
the
Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Xxxxxx Securities, Inc. the
non-accountable sum of $15,000, for its expenses, $5,000 of which has been
previously paid. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the
contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel,
accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by
such
party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement.
6. Effect
of Pledge on Certain Rights. If
any of
the Collateral subject to this Agreement consists of nonvoting equity or
ownership interests (regardless of class, designation, preference or rights)
that may be converted into voting equity or ownership interests upon the
occurrence of certain events (including, without limitation, upon the transfer
of all or any of the other stock or assets of the issuer), it is agreed that
the
pledge of such equity or ownership interests pursuant to this Agreement or
the
enforcement of any of Agent’s rights hereunder shall not be deemed to be the
type of event which would trigger such conversion rights notwithstanding
any
provisions in the Organizational Documents or agreements to which any Debtor
is
subject or to which any Debtor is party.
7.
Defaults.
The
following events shall be “Events
of Default”:
(a)
The
occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the
Note;
(b)
Any
representation or warranty of any Debtor in this Agreement shall prove to
have
been incorrect in any material respect when made;
(c)
The
failure by any Debtor to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder
for
ten (10) days after delivery to such Debtor of notice of such failure by
or on
behalf of a Secured Party unless such default is capable of cure but cannot
be
cured within such time frame and such Debtor is using best efforts to cure
same
in a timely fashion; or
18
(d)
If
any provision of this Agreement shall at any time for any reason be declared
to
be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested
by any Debtor, or a proceeding shall be commenced by any Debtor, or by any
governmental authority having jurisdiction over any Debtor, seeking to establish
the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or any Debtor shall deny that
any
Debtor has any liability or obligation purported to be created under this
Agreement.
8. Duty
To Hold In Trust.
(a) Upon
the
occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, each Debtor
shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income,
dividend, interest
or other
sums subject to the Security Interest, whether payable pursuant to the Note
or
otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument
evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for
the
Secured Parties and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or
instruments, or both, to the Secured Parties, pro-rata in proportion to their
initial purchases of Notes for application to the satisfaction of the
Obligations (and if any Note is not outstanding, pro rata
in
proportion to the initial purchases of the remaining Notes).
(b) If
any
Debtor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any securities or
other
property (including, without limitation, shares of Pledged Securities or
instruments representing Pledged Securities acquired after the date hereof,
or
any options, warrants, rights or other similar property or certificates
representing a dividend, or any distribution in connection with any
recapitalization, reclassification or increase or reduction of capital, or
issued in connection with any reorganization of such Debtor or any of its
direct
or indirect subsidiaries) in respect of the Pledged Securities (whether as
an
addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, such Pledged Securities
or
otherwise), such Debtor agrees to (i) accept the same as the agent of the
Secured Parties; (ii) hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit
of
the Secured Parties; and (iii) to deliver any and all certificates or
instruments evidencing the same to Agent on or before the close of business
on
the fifth business day following the receipt thereof by such Debtor, in the
exact form received together with the Necessary Endorsements, to be held
by
Agent subject to the terms of this Agreement as Collateral.
9. Rights
and Remedies Upon Default.
(a) Upon
the
occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured
Parties, acting through any agent appointed by them for such purpose, shall
have
the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the
Notes, and the Secured Parties shall have all the rights and remedies of
a
secured party under the UCC. Without limitation, the Secured Parties shall
have
the following rights and powers:
(i)
The
Secured Parties shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral
and,
for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises
where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove
the
same, and each Debtor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available
to the
Secured Parties at places which the Secured Parties shall reasonably select,
whether at such Debtor's premises or elsewhere, and make available to the
Secured Parties, without rent, all of such Debtor’s respective premises and
facilities for the purpose of the Secured Parties taking possession of, removing
or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form.
19
(ii) Upon
notice to the Debtors by Agent, all rights of each Debtor to exercise the
voting
and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise
and
all rights of each Debtor to receive the dividends and interest which it
would
otherwise be authorized to receive and retain, shall cease. Upon such notice,
Agent shall have the right to receive any interest, cash dividends or other
payments on the Collateral and, at the option of Agent, to exercise in such
Agent’s discretion all voting rights pertaining thereto. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to exercise all rights with respect to the Collateral as it were the sole
and
absolute owners thereof, including, without limitation, to vote and/or to
exchange, at its sole discretion, any or all of the Collateral in connection
with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other
readjustment concerning or involving the Collateral or any Debtor or any
of its
direct or indirect subsidiaries.
(iii)
The
Secured Parties shall have the right to operate the business of each Debtor
using the Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public
or
private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or
stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel
or
parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such
terms and conditions as the Secured Parties may deem commercially reasonable,
all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot
be
waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to any Debtor or right of
redemption of a Debtor, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such
sale,
lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Parties may,
unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all
or any
part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts,
claims, right of redemption and equities of any Debtor, which are hereby
waived
and released.
(iv) The
Secured Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify any
account debtors and any obligors under instruments or accounts to make payments
directly to the Secured Parties and to enforce the Debtors’ rights against such
account debtors and obligors.
20
(v) The
Secured Parties may (but are not obligated to) direct any financial intermediary
or any other person or entity holding any investment property to transfer
the
same to the Secured Parties or their designee.
(vi) The
Secured Parties may (but are not obligated to) transfer any or all Intellectual
Property registered in the name of any Debtor at the United States Patent
and
Trademark Office and/or Copyright Office into the name of the Secured Parties
or
any designee or any purchaser of any Collateral.
(b) The
Agent
may comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of
Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect
the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Agent may sell
the
Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such
warranties. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Debtors
will
only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser. In addition,
each
Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in
advance of the enforcement of any of the Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder,
including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to
take
immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies
with respect thereto.
(c) For
the
purpose of enabling the Agent to further exercise rights and remedies under
this
Section 9 or elsewhere provided by agreement or applicable law, each Debtor
hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured
Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment
of
royalty or other compensation to such Debtor) to use, license or sublicense
following an Event of Default, any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Debtor, and wherever the same may be located, and including
in
such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof.
10. Applications
of Proceeds.
The
proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral
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 Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
Secured Parties in enforcing their rights hereunder and in connection with
collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction
of
the Obligations pro rata among the Secured Parties (based on then outstanding
principal amounts of Notes at the time of any such determination), and to
the
payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the
Secured
Parties shall pay to the applicable Debtor any surplus proceeds. If, upon
the
sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof
are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally
entitled, the Debtors will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest
thereon, at the rate of 15% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by
applicable law (the “Default
Rate”),
and
the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Parties to collect
such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor waives
all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Parties arising out of
the
repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely
to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Parties as determined
by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
21
11. Securities
Law Provision.
Each
Debtor recognizes that Agent may be limited in its ability to effect a sale
to
the public of all or part of the Pledged Securities by reason of certain
prohibitions in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other federal
or
state securities laws (collectively, the “Securities

or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract

with applicable federal and state securities laws) in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. Such Secured Party
is
acquiring the Warrants hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

indirectly, with any person to distribute any of the Warrants or Warrant
Shares.

21. Miscellaneous.
(a)
No
course
of dealing between the Debtors and the Secured Parties, nor any failure to
exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Parties,
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.
25
(b)
All
of
the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral,
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

(c)
This
Agreement constitutes 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 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

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)
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard
to
the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors,
officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in
the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party
hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to
the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for
such
proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good
and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding
to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing
party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party
for
its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.
26
(i)
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when
taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered
to the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature
shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on
whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
(j) All
Debtors shall jointly and severally be liable for the obligations of each
Debtor
to the Secured Parties hereunder.
(k) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to subject Agent or any Secured Party
to
liability as a partner in any Debtor or any if its direct or indirect
subsidiaries that is a partnership or as a member in any Debtor or any of
its
direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, nor
shall
Agent or any Secured Party be deemed to have assumed any obligations under
any
partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable,
of
any such Debtor or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries or otherwise,
unless and until any such Secured Party exercises its right to be substituted
for such Debtor as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant
hereto.
(l) To
the
extent that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral and the
enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of
any
partner or member, as applicable, of any Debtor or any direct or indirect
subsidiary of any Debtor or compliance with any provisions of any of the
Organizational Documents, the Debtors hereby grant such consent and approval
and
waive any such noncompliance with the terms of said documents.
27
(m) The
obligations of each Secured Party under this Agreement are several and not
joint
with the obligations of any other Secured Party, and no Secured Party shall
be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Secured Party under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in this
Agreement, and no action taken by any Secured Party pursuant thereto, shall
be
deemed to constitute the Secured Parties as a partnership, an association,
a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Secured Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect
to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each
Secured Party shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its
rights,
including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and
it
shall not be necessary for any other Secured Party to be joined as an additional
party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Secured Party has been
represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation
of
this Agreement. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Secured Parties
and their respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company
through
FWS. FWS does not represent all of the Secured Parties but only Xxxxxx
Securities, Inc. The Company has elected to provide all Secured Parties with
the
same terms under this Agreement for the convenience of the Company and not
because it was required or requested to do so by the Secured
Parties.

A
to
SECURITY

FORM

ANNEX
B
to
LOAN
AND SECURITY
AGREEMENT
THE
AGENT
1.
Appointment. The
Secured Parties (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the respective meanings provided in the Loan and Security Agreement
to which this Annex B is attached (the "Agreement")),
by
their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby designate Xxxxxxx
Xxxxx (“Agent”)
as the
Agent to act as specified herein and in the Agreement. Each Secured Party
shall
be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agent to take such action on its behalf
under the provisions of the Agreement and any other Transaction Document
(as
such term is defined in the Agreement) and to exercise such powers and to
perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated
to or
required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers
as
are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties
hereunder by or through its agents or employees.
2.
Nature
of Duties.
The
Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set
forth
in the Agreement. Neither the Agent nor any of its partners, members,
shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for
any
action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or
in
connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any
oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused
solely
by its or their gross negligence or willful conduct as determined by a final
judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.
The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature;
the
Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Transaction
Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Debtor or any Secured
Party;
and nothing in the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, expressed
or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent
any
obligations in respect of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document
except
as expressly set forth herein and therein.
3.
Lack
of Reliance on the Agent.
Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each Secured Party, to
the
extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company
and its subsidiaries in connection with such Secured Party’s investment in the
Debtors, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the taking or not taking of
any
action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of
the
Collateral from time to time, and the Agent shall have no duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any
Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto,
whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or
at any
time or times thereafter. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Debtors
or
any Secured Party for any recitals, statements, information, representations
or
warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered
in
connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the financial condition
of
the Debtors or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make
any
inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions or conditions of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
or
the financial condition of the Debtors, or the value of any of the Collateral,
or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default
under
the Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents.
4.
Certain
Rights of the Agent.
The
Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral,
on
behalf of all of the Secured Parties. The Agent shall not be obligated to
consult with or receive any consent from any other Secured Party in connection
with any action taken by the Agent under the Transaction Documents. Without
limiting the foregoing, (a) no Secured Party shall have any right of action
whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining
from
acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, and the Debtors shall have no right to question or
challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Agent pursuant
to
the foregoing and (b) the Agent shall not be required to take any action
which
the Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose it to personal
liability or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents
or
applicable law.
5.
Reliance.
The
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon
any writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype
or
telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone
message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect
to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it
and
upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected
by
it.
6.
Indemnification.
To the
extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Debtors, the
Secured Parties will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Agent,
in
proportion to their initially purchased respective principal amounts of Notes,
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of
any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement
or
any other Transaction Document, or in any way relating to or arising out
of the
Agreement or any other Transaction Document except for those determined by
a
final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Agent's own gross negligence
or
willful misconduct. Prior to taking any action hereunder as Agent, the Agent
may
require each Secured Party to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines
in good faith is necessary to protect the Agent for costs and expenses
associated with taking such action.
7.
Resignation
by the Agent.
(a)
The
Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under
the
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving 30 days'
prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Debtors and the
Secured Parties. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment
of a
successor Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.
(b)
Upon
any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting by a Majority
in Interest,
shall
appoint a successor Agent hereunder.
(c)
If a
successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30-day period,
the
Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until
such
time, if any, as the Secured Parties appoint a successor Agent as provided
above. If a successor Agent has not been appointed within such 30-day period,
the Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead
the
Debtors and the Secured Parties in a proceeding for the appointment of a
successor Agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary
fees
associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith,
shall be payable by the Debtors on demand.
8.
Rights
with respect to Collateral.
Each
Secured Party agrees with all other Secured Parties and the Agent (i) that
it
shall not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to
its
security interest in the Collateral, whether pursuant to any other agreement
or
otherwise (other than pursuant to this Agreement), or take or institute any
action against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in respect of
the
Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than any such action arising from
the
breach of this Agreement) and (ii) that such Secured Party has no other rights
with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth in this Agreement
and the
other Transaction Documents.
