opinion of the Secured Party might prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the
Intellectual Property or the Security Interest therein. The Company will also,
upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable
expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any
experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the

damage or theft of any of the Intellectual Property or its unavailability for
any reason.
-9-
10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and
all Obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
the Notes, the Warrants or any agreement entered into in connection with the
foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner
or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of
the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from the Notes, the Warrants or any other agreement entered into in
connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any
of the Intellectual Property, or any release or amendment or waiver of or
consent to departure from any other Intellectual Property for, or any guaranty,
or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the
Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any
insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Intellectual
Property; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any
legal or equitable defense available to the Company, or a discharge of all or
any part of the Security Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall
have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall
continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without
limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Company
expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of
nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any
transfer of any Intellectual Property or any payment received by the Secured
Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under
the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be
otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Party, then, in any such
event, the Company's obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this
Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof
and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding
obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The
Company waives all right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any
other person or to apply any Intellectual Property which the Secured Party may
hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. The
Company waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute
of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.
11. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest
shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Notes have been made
in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged. Upon such
termination, the Secured Party, at the request and at the expense of the
Company, will join in executing any termination statement with respect to any
financing statement executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement.
12. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

make, constitute and appoint it, and its respective officers, agents, successors

14. Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or
hereafter secured by property other than the Intellectual Property or by the
guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or
other entity, then the Secured Party shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action
with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of the
Secured Party's rights and remedies hereunder.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No course of dealing between the Company and the Secured
Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
the Secured Party, 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.
(b) All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with
respect to the Intellectual Property, 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 singly or concurrently.
(c) This Agreement and the Security Agreement constitute 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.
-12-
(d) In the event that 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 such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default or right, whether of the same or similar nature or
otherwise.
(f) 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) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, except to the extent the validity, perfection or
enforcement of a security interest hereunder in respect of any particular
Intellectual Property which are governed by a jurisdiction other than the State
of New York in which case such law shall govern. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United
States Federal court sitting in Manhattan county over any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be
heard and determined in such New York State or Federal court. The parties hereto
agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by law. The parties hereto further waive any objection to
venue in the State of New York and any objection to an action or proceeding in
the State of New York on the basis of forum non conveniens.
(i) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING
OF ANY DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT
MATER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT
CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.
EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR
EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH PARTY HAS ALREADY
RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH PARTY WILL
CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY
FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL
COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO
A JURY TRIAL FOLLOWING SUCH CONSULTATION. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING
THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED
EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS AND SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE
EVENT OF A LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A
TRIAL BY THE COURT.

(j) This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In
the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such
signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on
whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
