Any such financing statements may be signed by Lender on behalf of Borrower, as provided in the Code, and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Borrower shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Lender, at the request of Lender, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Lender may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Lender, to perfect and continue perfected Lender’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.

Borrower will not create any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Lender indicating that Lender has a security interest in the chattel paper. Borrower from time to time may deposit with Lender specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; Borrower authorizes Lender to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding.

3.4. Pledge of Collateral. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Lender a security interest in all the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Closing Date, the certificate or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to Lender, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are

part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Lender and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Lender or its transferee. Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Lender may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

3.5. Termination of Financing Statement. Upon indefeasible payment in full and satisfaction by Borrower of all of the Obligations, Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower, promptly file a termination statement with respect to the Collateral, and provide written evidence of the same to Borrower.

Borrower releases Lender and its officers, employees, agents and designees from any liability arising from any act or acts in connection with such action(s) or in furtherance thereof, whether of admission or omission and whether based on any error of judgment or mistake of law or fact.

9.3. Additional Collateral Actions.

9.6. Insurance Assignment. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all sums, including without limitation, return of premiums, which may become payable under any and all of Borrower’s policies of insurance and directs each insurance company issuing any such policy to make payment thereof directly to Lender.

9.7. Government Accounts. If any Accounts arise from contracts with the United States or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof, Borrower will promptly notify Lender thereof and execute any instruments and take any steps requested by Lender in order that all monies due and to become due thereunder shall be assigned to Lender and notice thereof given to the Federal authorities under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act.

9.8. Payments by Lender. In its sole discretion, Lender may upon notice to Borrower and Borrower’s failure within ten (10) business days to pay any of the following (or such lesser period of time if imposition of a Lien, loss of insurance or tax lien is imminent): (i) discharge taxes that Borrower fails to pay (except taxes being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, for which Borrower has established and is maintaining appropriate reserves, and as to which no Lien having priority over Lender’s Lien arises) and Liens levied or placed on Collateral; (ii) pay for insurance of Borrower that Borrower fails to pay or the maintenance and preservation thereof; or (iii) if Borrower shall fail to make deposits in respect of F.I.C.A. and withholding taxes referred to in Section 5.8, make such deposits or pay such taxes, in whole or in part, or set up such reserves as Lender shall in its sole discretion deem necessary in respect of Borrower’s liability therefor. Any amount so paid, deposited or reserved for shall constitute a Revolving Loan for all purposes hereunder. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate Lender to do any of the foregoing and the making of any one or more such payments, deposits or reserves shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to take any further or similar action or a waiver of any right of Lender hereunder.

9.9. Access to Records. Borrower will at all times keep accurate records of the Collateral and will permit Lender or its agents or representatives at Lender’s election at any time during normal business hours from time to time in Lender’s reasonable discretion, at Lender’s expense (other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, then at Borrower’s expense) to visit Borrower’s place(s) of business, without hindrance or delay, to inspect Collateral and examine check audit and make copies and abstracts from Borrower’s records and books of account (including, without limitation, corporate minutes, and records,

journals, orders, receipts and correspondence relating to Collateral, account debtors, transactions unrelated to collateral and Borrower’s general financial condition, business and affairs); to remove any of such books and records temporarily for the purpose of having copies made; and to discuss with any of Borrower’s appropriate members, directors, officers, accountants and other agents or representatives the Collateral and Borrower’s general financial condition, business and affairs.

9.10. License to Use Premises. Borrower hereby grants to Lender, for a term commencing on the Closing Date and continuing so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, at a rental of $1.00 for such entire term, the right to the use of all premises or places of business which Borrower now or hereafter may have and where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of exercising its rights and remedies hereunder to realize on the Collateral; provided that Lender agrees not to exercise such right unless and until an Event of Default occurs and is continuing.

9.11. Instruments Evidencing Accounts. If any Accounts are at any time evidenced by promissory notes, trade acceptances or other instruments for the payment of money, Borrower will promptly deliver and pledge the same to Lender appropriately endorsed to Lender’s order and, regardless of the form of such endorsement, Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest and all other notices with respect thereto.

9.12. No Lender Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under any Accounts or other Collateral arising out of this Agreement or Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies or Borrower’s performance of its obligations hereunder, nor shall Lender have any obligation to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to file any claim or take any action to enforce the payment or performance of any portion of the Collateral. Beyond the safe custody thereof, Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its or its nominee’s possession or any income thereon, or as to the preservation of rights against other parties or otherwise.

9.13. Transfer of Investment Property to Lender’s Name. Lender may transfer Investment Property of the Borrower into its name or that of its nominee, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred, and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, may receive the income and any distributions’ thereon and hold the same as Collateral for the Obligations, or apply the same to any defaulted Obligation.

(e) occurrence of any event of default (subject to any applicable grace period) as defined in any other instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in excess of, in the aggregate, $100,000, of Borrower (other than Obligations) now or hereafter outstanding; or any event or condition which gives any holder or trustee of such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money the right to accelerate its maturity; or any event of default under any Subscription Documentation;

(j) entry of any judgment(s) against Borrower in an aggregate amount greater than $100,000 which are not covered by insurance (and for this purpose a judgment shall be deemed “covered by insurance” only if the insurance company has formally advised Borrower in writing that the judgment in its entirety is covered by insurance and no action is being taken to execute such judgment against any of Borrower’s assets) and shall remain undischarged or unvacated for a period in excess of sixty (60) days or execution shall at any time not be effectively stayed;

(k) If Borrower makes any payment on account of Subordinated Debt, except to the extent the payment is allowed under any subordination agreement entered into with Lender;

(m) If any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of any trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment, seizure, writ or distress warrant or levy has not been removed, discharged or rescinded within 30 days, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of Borrower’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any of Borrower’s assets by the United States Government, or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within thirty days after Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower;

(n) entry of any court order which enjoins, restrains, or in any way prevents Borrower from conducting all or any substantial part of Borrower’s business;

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each and every Event of Default described above shall be of equal weight and significance, and equally and fully shall allow Lender to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each such Event of Default has been a material inducement for Lender to enter into this Agreement and that Lender would be irreparably harmed if Lender, in any way, were unable to exercise its rights and remedies on the basis that certain Events of Default (for example, Events of Default not relating to payment) were of less weight or significance than certain other Events of Default (for example, Events of Default relating to payment).

11. Lender’s Rights and Remedies. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

11.1. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:

(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Xxxxxxx 00 (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x) or (t), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);

(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lender;

(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Lender reasonably considers advisable;

(d) Make such payments and do such acts as Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Lender as Lender may designate. Borrower authorizes Lender to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Lender’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

(e) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Lender, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Lender;

(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit;

(g) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Lender determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Lender deems appropriate. Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale;

(h) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;

(i) Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard to the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations;

(j) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower; and

(k) In the event that at any time Notes and Warrants are outstanding, (i) the Company is prohibited from issuing Warrant Shares, (ii) the Company fails to timely deliver Warrant Shares within five Business Days after a Delivery Date if required to deliver such Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 1.7 or 1.8 of the Warrants, (iii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Documents), any of the foregoing that continues for more than twenty (20) Business Days, (iv) a Change in Control, or (v) of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then at each Lender’s election and in lieu of the payment required pursuant to Section 2.1.3(a), the Company must pay to the Lender fifteen (15) Business Days after request by the Lender (“Calculation Period”), a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the Lender’s pro rata portion of the Obligations multiplied by 115%, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon (“Mandatory Redemption Payment”). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days after request (“Mandatory Redemption Payment Date”). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, all Obligations with respect to principal and interest for the Term Loan will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to the Warrants, the Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, that have been paid or accrued for the ten day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by the Lender shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment.

Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

11.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Lender’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Lender’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Lender determines to be reasonable; (g) enter into a short-form intellectual property security agreement consistent with the terms of this Agreement for recording purposes only or modify, in its sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement entered into between Borrower and Lender without first obtaining Borrower’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibits A, B, and C, thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by Borrower after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any

right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which Borrower no longer has or claims to have any right, title or interest; and (h) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law; provided Lender may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in clauses (g) and (h) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Lender as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Lender’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.

11.3. Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Lender’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Lender, receive in trust all payments as Lender’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Lender in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

11.4. Lender Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Lender may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Line as Lender deems necessary to protect Lender from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 7.2 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Lender shall constitute Lender Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

11.5. Lender’s Liability for Collateral. Lender has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower, until such time as the Lender has taken possession of the Collateral (exclusive to the rights of Borrower therein).

11.6. No Obligation to Pursue Others. Lender has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Lender may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Lender’s rights against Borrower. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Lender to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations.

11.7. Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Lender

shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Lender and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Borrower expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Lender by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.

11.8. Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment and any other notices relating to the Obligations.

12. Expenses; Indemnification, Etc.

12.1. Payment of Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay Lender on demand any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties, suits, judgments or disbursements of any nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and appraisal costs) which may be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against Lender in connection with: preparation of this Agreement, and all instruments and documents relating hereto; all other amendments, modifications or waivers hereof, appraisal fees and environmental assessment fees as may be charged by Lender pursuant to this Agreement and incurred in connection with this Agreement; taxes and other governmental charges payable by reason of this Agreement, documents and filings relating hereto and Collateral (excluding income and franchise taxes payable by Lender); exercise of Lender’s rights with respect to Collateral or any guarantor or surety of Borrower; any exercise of Lender’s right of acceleration; any enforcement, collection or other proceedings with respect to the Obligations or from any negotiations or other measures to preserve Lender’s rights hereunder; any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not Lender is designated as a party thereto) relating to Borrower or the Obligations, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other transaction between the Lender and the Borrower or any obligor on the Obligations; or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings relating to Borrower.

12.2. Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and each Participant and Assignee, and their directors, agents and employees, harmless from and against any, and shall pay on demand all, losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to the delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the hereby or otherwise or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel; provided, however, that no such indemnity shall apply in respect of losses or claims caused by Lender’s, Participant’s or Assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Lender in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section. Borrower’s obligation to make any payments to Lender under the foregoing indemnity shall be net of any collateral liquidation proceeds, eminent domain proceeds and insurance proceeds (not including, however, any tax benefits) actually received by Lender. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

12.3. Exculpation. Neither Lender nor any attorney-in-fact hereunder shall be liable to Borrower or any other Person for any act or omission, any mistake of fact or any error of judgment in exercising any right or remedy granted herein except for such liability caused by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.4. Collateral Secures Indemnification. Lender shall be entitled to retain Collateral or require substitution therefor to the extent required to assure Lender of satisfaction of Borrower’s Obligations under this Article 12 until such time as the Obligations (other than the Obligations under this Article 12) are paid in full.

14.2. No Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Waiver by Lender of any right or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy on any future occasion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower expressly agrees that no failure by Lender to detect or to communicate with Borrower or take action in response to any failure by Borrower to perform or observe any Obligation shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy of Lender. Any waivers by Lender must be in writing and no officer or employee of Lender is authorized to grant any oral waiver. Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, under any agreement or instrument supplemental hereto or under any other agreement or instrument, shall be cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

14.3. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided that Borrower may not assign or transfer any rights or Obligations hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent. Lender shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time to time, and without Borrower’s consent, to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Lenders or other financial institutions (each, an “Assignee”), and Borrower agrees that it shall execute, or cause to be executed, such documents, including without limitation, amendments to this Agreement and to any other documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith as Lender shall deem necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of Lender and any such Assignee, Borrower shall issue one or more new promissory notes, as applicable, to any such Assignee and, if Lender has retained any of its rights and obligations hereunder following such assignment, to Lender, which new promissory notes shall be issued in replacement of, but not in discharge of, the liability evidenced by the promissory note held by Lender prior to such assignment and shall reflect the amount of the respective commitments and loans held by such Assignee and Lender after giving effect to such assignment. Upon the execution and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments and any other documentation required by Lender in connection with such assignment and the payment by Assignee of the purchase price agreed to by Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder (and executed in connection herewith) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by Lender pursuant to the assignment documentation such Assignee, and Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent.

14.4. Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. If one or more provisions of this Agreement (or the application thereof) shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the same shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable such provision (or its application) in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement (or its application). This Agreement is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior written or verbal communications or instruments relating thereof.

14.5. Waiver of Remedies. Borrower acknowledges that the transactions contemplated hereby are commercial transactions and waives, to the fullest extent it may do so under applicable law, such rights as it may have or hereafter have to notices and/or hearings under applicable federal or state laws relating to exercise of any of Lender’s rights, including, without limitation, the right to deprive Borrower of or affect Borrower’s use, possession or enjoyment of property prior to rendition of a final judgment against Borrower.

14.6. Participations. Lender shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time, and without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to grant to one or more Lenders or other financial institutions (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in Lender’s obligation to lend hereunder and/or any or all of the loans held by Lender hereunder. In the event of any such grant by Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to Borrower, Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder. Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower in its possession from time to time to prospective Assignees and Participants, provided that Lender shall require any such prospective Assignee or Participant to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information. Lender has a right but not an obligation to waive enforcement of any term hereof against Borrower by the consent of Participants holding Notes reflecting at least seventy percent (70%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan.

14.7. Replacement Notes. Upon receipt of an affidavit of any officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any of the Notes or any other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other security document, the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other security document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor. Lender agrees to indemnify Borrower for any double payment or increased liability caused by Lender’s loss of any original Note.

15. Governing Law, Jurisdiction.

15.1. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the civil or state courts of New York or in the federal

courts located in New York County. The parties and the individuals executing this Agreement and other agreements referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.

To the extent permitted by law, Borrower, Lender and Lenders acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to one or more preliminary and final injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity. Each of the Borrower, Lender and Lenders and any signator hereto in his personal capacity hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

15.2. Waiver of Counterclaims. Borrower waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other than compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.

16. Caution.

Caution: Read Before Signing. Great effort has been spent to make sure that this Agreement fully and accurately documents the understanding between the parties. If you believe that you have an implicit or oral understanding or agreement not fully and accurately set forth in this Agreement, DO NOT SIGN IT.

You should also understand that no officer or employee of the Lender has any authority to modify, alter or amend this Agreement orally. Rather, any and all changes would have to be put in writing and approved by appropriate officials at the Lender. If at some future date you believe that this Agreement needs to be changed in any respect, insist that the change be in writing and signed by an appropriate officer of the Lender; otherwise, misunderstandings might occur.

Finally, all signatories to this Agreement are urged to have their own legal counsel review it on their behalf.

Executed as an instrument under seal on the date set forth above.
