connection therewith) of the Intellectual Property, to the reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in enforcing its rights
hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the

the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect
such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Issuers waive all

claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party might
prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Intellectual Property or the Security
Interest therein. The Issuers 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 enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the
custody or preservation of or the sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon, any of the Intellectual Property, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of
any of the rights of the Secured Party under the Note. Until so paid, any fees

bear interest at the Default Rate.
9. Responsibility for
Intellectual Property. The Issuers assumes all liabilities and
responsibility in connection with all Intellectual Property, and the obligations
of the Issuers hereunder or under the Note and the Transaction Documents shall
in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage
or theft of any of the Intellectual Property or its unavailability for any
reason.
8
10. Security Interest
Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and all Obligations of the
Issuers hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Note, the Subscription
Agreement 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 Note, the Subscription Agreement 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 Issuers, 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 Issuers
expressly waive 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 Issuers’ 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
Issuers waive 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
Issuers waive 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 Note 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 Issuers, will join in executing any
termination statement with respect to any financing statement executed and filed
pursuant to this Agreement.

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 Issuers 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 Note 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.
10
(b) All
of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Intellectual
Property, whether established hereby or by the Note 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.
(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.
11
(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.
