3. Representations, Warranties,
Covenants and Agreements of the Company. The Company
represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Secured Party as
follows:
(a) The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the
filings contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action
on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the
Company. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights
generally.
(b) The
Company represents and warrants that it has no place of business or offices
where its respective books of account and records are kept (other than
temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where
Collateral is stored or located, except as set forth on Schedule A attached
hereto;
(c) The
Company is the sole owner of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses
granted by the Company in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of
any liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and is fully
authorized to grant the Security Interest in and to pledge the
Collateral. There is not on file in any governmental or regulatory
authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security
agreement, license or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than
those that have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this
Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. So
long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Company shall not execute and
shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or agency any such
financing statement or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed
or recorded in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement).
(d) No
part of the Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable. No
written claim has been received that any Collateral or the Company’s use of any
Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no adverse
decision to the Company’s claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to
use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to the Company’s right to keep and
maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no proceeding
involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company,
threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency,
arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e) The
Company shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to
the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the
locations set forth on Schedule A attached
hereto and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible
Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Party at least 30 days prior to
such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location
thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that
appropriate financing statements and other necessary documents have been filed
and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interest to
create in favor of the Secured Party valid, perfected and continuing first
priority liens in the Collateral.
(f)
This Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a
valid security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance
of the Obligations and, upon making the filings described in the immediately
following sentence, a perfected first priority security interest in such
Collateral. Except for the filing of financing statements on Form-1
under the UCC with the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule B, attached
hereto, no authorization or approval of or filing with or notice to any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required either for the grant by
the Company of, or the effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby or
for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company or
for the perfection of or exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and
remedies hereunder.
(g) On
the date of execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to the Secured
Party one or more executed UCC financing statements on Form-1 with respect to
the Security Interest for filing with the jurisdictions indicated on
Schedule B,
attached hereto and in such other jurisdictions as may be requested by the
Secured Party.
(h) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not conflict with or
cause a breach or default, or an event that with or without the passage of time
or notice, shall constitute a breach or default, under any agreement to which
the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound. No consent
(including, without limitation, from stock holders or creditors of the Company)
is required for the Company to enter into and perform its obligations
hereunder.
(i) With
the exception of Schedule C attached,
the Company shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided
for hereunder as valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests
in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Party until this Agreement and the
Security Interest hereunder shall terminate pursuant to Section
11. The Company hereby agrees to defend the same against any and all
persons. The Company shall safeguard and protect all Collateral for
the account of the Secured Party. At the request of the Secured
Party, the Company will sign and deliver to the Secured Party at any time or
from time to time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC (or any
other applicable statute) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party
and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing
is, or is deemed by the Secured Party to be, necessary or desirable to effect
the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts
necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interest hereunder, and
the Company shall obtain and furnish to the Secured Party from time to time,
upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may
be required to maintain the priority of the Security Interest
hereunder.
(j) The
Company will not transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license (except for
non-exclusive licenses granted by the Company or any inventory or other
collateral purchased or sold in the ordinary course of business), sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of
the Secured Party.
(k) The
Company shall keep and preserve its Equipment, Inventory and other tangible
Collateral in good condition, repair and order and shall not operate or locate
any such Collateral (or cause to be operated or located) in any area excluded
from insurance coverage.
(l) With
the exception of inventory purchased for the purposes of normal business
activities, the Company shall, within ten (10) days of obtaining knowledge
thereof, advise the Secured Party promptly, in sufficient detail, of any
substantial change in the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which
would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the
Secured Party’s security interest therein.
(m) The
Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further
deeds, mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements or
other instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and take such further
action as the Secured Party may from time to time request and may in its sole
discretion deem necessary to perfect, protect or enforce its security interest
in the Collateral including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of a
separate security agreement with respect to the Company’s intellectual property
(“Intellectual
Property Security Agreement”) in which the Secured Party has been granted
a security interest hereunder, substantially in a form acceptable to the Secured
Party, which Intellectual Property Security Agreement, other than as stated
therein, shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions
hereof.
(n) The
Company shall permit the Secured Party and its representatives and agents to
inspect the Collateral during normal business hours, and to make copies of
records pertaining to the Collateral as may be requested by the Secured Party
from time to time.
(o) The
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to diligently pursue and seek
to preserve, enforce and collect any rights, claims, causes of action and
accounts receivable in respect of the Collateral.
(p) The
Company shall promptly notify the Secured Party in sufficient detail upon
becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process
levied against any Collateral and of any other information received by the
Company that may materially affect the value of the Collateral, the Security
Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder.
(q) All
information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Secured Party by or
on behalf of the Company with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete
in all material respects as of the date furnished.

time thereafter, the Company shall, upon receipt by it of any revenue, income or
other sums subject to the Security Interest, whether payable pursuant to the

instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust
for the Secured Party and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or

have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and/or any
other applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction
in which any Collateral is then located). Without limitation, the
Secured Party shall have the following rights and powers:
(a) The
Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for
that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises

the Company, which are expressly waived upon determination of Default by any
competent court. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other
transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable
law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being

equities of the Company, which are hereby waived and released.

Secured Party under the Note.

Event of Default; Further Assurances.

14. Other
Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or
hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral 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 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.
(b) All
of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Collateral,
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 constitutes 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
