6. Additional Grantors. The initial Grantors hereunder shall include the Company. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto, as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a counterpart of this Agreement. Upon delivery of any such counterpart to the Lender, notice of which is hereby waived by the Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder nor by any election of Lender not to cause any Person to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

(b) Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, tach Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Lender’s discretion, so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of such Grantor under Section 5 hereof), including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Lender pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any Collateral, and (v) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any Collateral. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the complete conversion of all of the Company’s obligations under the Note to equity securities of the Company and/or indefeasible payment in full in cash of all obligations under the Note (together with any matured indemnification obligations as of the date of such conversion and/or payment, but excluding any inchoate or unmatured contingent indemnification obligations).
