4. Perfection of Security Interest.
4.1 Debtor shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Lenders UCC-1 Financing Statements.

All such certificates and instruments shall be held by or on behalf of Lenders pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment or undated stock powers executed in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lenders. If any Collateral consists of uncertificated securities, unless the immediately following sentence is applicable thereto, Debtor shall cause Lenders (or its custodian, nominee or other designee) to become the registered holder thereof, or cause each issuer of such securities to agree that it will comply with instructions originated by Lenders with respect to such securities without further consent by Debtor.

Debtor hereby authorizes Lenders to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all certificates or instruments listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to Lenders shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Collateral.
3
4.5 If Debtor shall receive, by virtue of Debtor being or having been an owner of any Collateral, any (i) stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off), promissory note or other instrument, (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or in exchange for, any Collateral, or otherwise, (iii) dividends payable in cash (except such dividends permitted to be retained by Debtor pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof) or in securities or other property or (iv) dividends or other distributions in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, Debtor shall receive such stock certificate, promissory note, instrument, option, right, payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of Lenders, shall segregate it from Debtor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to Lenders, in the exact form received, with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Lenders as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
5. Distribution.
5.1 So long as an Event of Default does not exist, Debtor shall be entitled to exercise all voting power pertaining to any of the Collateral, provided such exercise is not contrary to the interests of the Lenders and does not materially impair the Collateral.
5.2. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, all rights of Debtors, upon notice given by Lenders, to exercise the voting power and receive payments, which it would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to Section 5.1, shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Lenders, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting power and receive such payments.
5.3 All dividends, distributions, interest and other payments which are received by Debtor contrary to the provisions of Section 5.2 shall be received in trust for the benefit of Lenders as security and Collateral for payment of the Obligations shall be segregated from other funds of Debtor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Lenders as Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Lenders as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
6. Further Action By Debtors; Covenants and Warranties.
6.1 Lenders at all times shall have a perfected security interest in the Collateral. Debtor represents that, other than the security interests described on Schedule 6.1, it has and will continue to have full title to the Collateral free from any liens, leases, encumbrances, judgments or other claims. The Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral constitutes and will continue to constitute a first, prior and indefeasible security interest in favor of Lenders, subject only to the security interests described on Schedule 6.1. Debtor will do all acts and things, and will execute and file all instruments (including, but not limited to, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by Lenders to establish, maintain and continue the perfected security interest of Lenders in the perfected Collateral, and will promptly on demand, pay all costs and expenses of filing and recording, including the costs of any searches reasonably deemed necessary by Lenders from time to time to establish and determine the validity and the continuing priority of the security interest of Lenders, and also pay all other claims and charges that, in the opinion of Lenders, exercised in good faith, are reasonably likely to materially prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or Lenders’ security interests therein.
4
6.2 Except in connection with sales of Collateral, in the ordinary course of business, for fair value and in cash, and except for Collateral which is substituted by assets of identical or greater value (subject to the consent of the Lenders) or which is inconsequential in value, Debtor will not sell, transfer, assign or pledge those items of Collateral (or allow any such items to be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged), without the prior written consent of Lenders other than a transfer of the Collateral to a wholly-owned United States formed and located subsidiary or to another debtor on prior notice to Lenders, and provided the Collateral remains subject to the security interest herein described. Although Proceeds of Collateral are covered by this Agreement, this shall not be construed to mean that Lenders consent to any sale of the Collateral, except as provided herein. Sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business shall be free of the security interest of Lenders and Lenders shall promptly execute such documents (including without limitation releases and termination statements) as may be required by Debtor to evidence or effectuate the same.
6.3 Debtor will, at all reasonable times during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, allow Lenders or their representatives free and complete access to the Collateral and all of such Debtor’s records that in any way relate to the Collateral, for such inspection and examination as Lenders reasonably deem necessary.
6.4 Debtor, at its sole cost and expense, will protect and defend this Security Agreement, all of the rights of Lenders hereunder, and the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons.
6.5 Debtor will promptly notify Lenders of any levy, distraint or other seizure by legal process or otherwise of any part of the Collateral, and of any threatened or filed claims or proceedings that are reasonably likely to affect or impair any of the rights of Lenders under this Security Agreement in any material respect.
6.6 Debtor, at its own expense, will obtain and maintain in force insurance policies covering losses or damage to those items of Collateral which constitute physical personal property, which insurance shall be of the types customarily insured against by companies in the same or similar business, similarly situated, in such amounts (with such deductible amounts) as is customary for such companies under the same or similar circumstances, similarly situated. Debtor shall make the Lenders a loss payee thereon to the extent of its interest in the Collateral. Lenders are hereby irrevocably (until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full) appointed Debtor’s attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or draft that may be payable to such Debtor so that Lenders may collect the proceeds payable for any loss under such insurance. The proceeds of such insurance, less any costs and expenses incurred or paid by Lenders in the collection thereof, shall be applied either toward the cost of the repair or replacement of the items damaged or destroyed, or on account of any sums secured hereby, whether or not then due or payable.
6.7 In order to protect the Collateral and Lenders’ interest therein, Lenders may, at their option, and without any obligation to do so, pay, perform and discharge any and all amounts, costs, expenses and liabilities herein agreed to be paid or performed by Debtor upon Debtor’s failure to do so. All amounts expended by Lenders in so doing shall become part of the Obligations secured hereby, and shall be immediately due and payable by Debtor to Lenders upon demand and shall bear interest at the lesser of 15% per annum or the highest legal amount allowed from the dates of such expenditures until paid.
6.8 Upon the request of Lenders, Debtor will furnish to Lenders within five (5) business days thereafter, or to any proposed assignee of this Security Agreement, a written statement in form reasonably satisfactory to Lenders, duly acknowledged, certifying the amount of the principal and interest and any other sum then owing under the Obligations, whether to its knowledge any claims, offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations or against this Security Agreement, or any of the terms and provisions of any other agreement of Debtor securing the Obligations. In connection with any assignment by Lenders of this Security
5
Agreement, Debtor hereby agrees to cause the insurance policies required hereby to be carried by such Debtor, if any, to be endorsed in form satisfactory to Lenders or to such assignee, with loss payable clauses in favor of such assignee, and to cause such endorsements to be delivered to Lenders within ten (10) calendar days after request therefor by Lenders.
6.9 Debtor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Lenders from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other reasonable assurances or instruments and take further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, as the Lenders may reasonably require to perfect its security interest hereunder.
6.10 Debtor represents and warrants that it is the true and lawful exclusive owner of the Collateral, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances other than those listed on Schedule 6.1.
6.11 Debtor hereby agrees not to divest itself of any right under the Collateral except as permitted herein absent prior written approval of the Lenders, except to a subsidiary organized and located in the United States on prior notice to Lenders provided the Collateral remains subject to the security interest herein described.
6.12 Debtor shall cause each subsidiary of such Debtor in existence on the date hereof and each subsidiary not in existence on the date hereof to execute and deliver to Lenders promptly and in any event within ten (10) days after the formation, acquisition or change in status thereof (A) a guaranty guaranteeing the Obligations and (B) if requested by Lenders, a security and pledge agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement together with (x) certificates evidencing all of the capital stock of each subsidiary of and any entity owned by such subsidiary, (y) undated stock powers executed in blank with signatures guaranteed, and (z) such opinion of counsel and such approving certificate of such subsidiary as Lenders may reasonably request in respect of complying with any legend on any such certificate or any other matter relating to such shares and (C) such other agreements, instruments, approvals, legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Lenders in order to create, perfect, establish the first priority of or otherwise protect any lien purported to be covered by any such pledge and security agreement or otherwise to effect the intent that all property and assets of such Subsidiary shall become Collateral for the Obligations. For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any entity at any date, any corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, association, joint venture or other business entity) of which more than 30% of (A) the outstanding capital stock having (in the absence of contingencies) ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other managing body of such entity, (B) in the case of a partnership or limited liability company, the interest in the capital or profits of such partnership or limited liability company or (C) in the case of a trust, estate, association, joint venture or other entity, the beneficial interest in such trust, estate, association or other entity business is, at the time of determination, owned or controlled directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, by such entity.
6.13 Debtor will notify Lenders within fifteen days of the occurrence of any change of Debtor’s name, domicile, address or jurisdiction of incorporation. The timely giving of this notice is a material obligation of Debtor.
7. Power of Attorney.
At any time an Event of Default has occurred, and only after the applicable cure period as set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and is continuing, Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lenders as the true and lawful attorney of such Debtor, with full power of
6
substitution, in the place and stead of such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor or otherwise, at any time or times, in the discretion of the Lenders, to take any action and to execute any instrument or document which the Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Obligations are satisfied.
8. Performance By The Lenders.
If Debtor fails to perform any material covenant, agreement, duty or obligation of such Debtor under this Agreement, the Lenders may, after any applicable cure period, at any time or times in its discretion, take action to effect performance of such obligation. All reasonable expenses of the Lenders incurred in connection with the foregoing authorization shall be payable by Debtor as provided in Paragraph 12.1 hereof. No discretionary right, remedy or power granted to the Lenders under any part of this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any obligation whatsoever on the Lenders with respect thereto, such rights, remedies and powers being solely for the protection of the Lenders.
9. Event of Default.
An event of default (“Event of Default”) shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined and described in this Agreement, in the Notes, the Subscription Agreement, and any other agreement to which one or more Debtor and a Lender are parties relating to the Offering. Upon and after any Event of Default, after the applicable cure period, if any, any or all of the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Lenders, and the Lenders may dispose of Collateral as provided below. A default by Debtor of any of its material obligations pursuant to this Agreement which is not cured within 7 days following receipt of notice from the Lenders and any of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) shall be an Event of Default hereunder and an “Event of Default” as defined in the Note, and Subscription Agreement.
10. Disposition of Collateral.
Upon and after any Event of Default which is then continuing,
10.1 The Lenders may exercise its rights with respect to each and every component of the Collateral, without regard to the existence of any other security or source of payment for, in order to satisfy the Obligations.

10.2 If any notice to Debtor of the sale or other disposition of Collateral is required by then applicable law, five (5) business days prior written notice (which Debtor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9.612(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code) shall be given to Debtor of the time and place of any sale of Collateral which Debtor hereby agree may be by private sale. The rights granted in this Section are in addition to any and all rights available to Lenders under the Uniform Commercial Code.
10.3 The Lenders are authorized, at any such sale, if the Lenders deem it advisable to do so, in order to comply with any applicable securities laws, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree, among other things, that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or otherwise to restrict such sale in such other manner as the Lenders deem advisable to ensure such compliance. Sales made subject to such restrictions shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
7
10.4 All proceeds received by the Lenders in respect of any sale, collection or other enforcement or disposition of Collateral, shall be applied (after deduction of any amounts payable to the Lenders pursuant to Paragraph 12.1 hereof) against the Obligations pro rata among the Lenders in proportion to their interests in the Obligations. Upon payment in full of all Obligations, Debtor shall be entitled to the return of all Collateral, including cash, which has not been used or applied toward the payment of Obligations or used or applied to any and all costs or expenses of the Lenders incurred in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral (unless another person is legally entitled thereto). Any assignment of Collateral by the Lenders to Debtor shall be without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever and wholly without recourse. To the extent allowed by law, each Lender may purchase the Collateral and pay for such purchase by offsetting up to such Lender’s pro rata portion of the purchase price with sums owed to such Lender by Debtor arising under the Obligations or any other source.
10.5 Rights of Lender to Appoint Receiver. Without limiting, and in addition to, any other rights, options and remedies Lenders have under the Transaction Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, or otherwise, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lenders shall have the right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Debtors expressly agrees that such a receiver will be able to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of Debtor to the extent necessary to collect all revenues and profits thereof and to apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership, including the compensation of the receiver, until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. Debtor waives any right to require a bond to be posted by or on behalf of any such receiver.
11. Waiver of Automatic Stay. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against Debtor, or if any of the Collateral should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Lenders should be entitled to, among other relief to which the Lenders may be entitled under the Note, Subscription Agreement and any other agreement to which the Debtor and Lenders are parties, (collectively “Loan Documents”) and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Lenders to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. DEBTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362. FURTHERMORE, DEBTOR EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NEITHER 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF THE LENDERS TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW. Debtor hereby consents to any motion for relief from stay which may be filed by the Lenders in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by or against Debtor, and further agree not to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Lenders. Debtor represent, acknowledge and agree that this provision is a specific and material aspect of this Agreement, and that the Lenders would not agree to the terms of this Agreement if this waiver were not a part of this Agreement. Debtor further represents, acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Lenders nor any person acting on behalf of the Lenders has made any representations to induce this waiver, that Debtor have been represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in the signing of this Agreement and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by Debtor and that Debtor have had the opportunity to discuss this waiver with counsel.
