Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to the Borrower or the Subsidiary representing any payment or reimbursement made under, pursuant to or with respect to, the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge to the same.

5. Preservation and Protection of Security Interest. The Company represents and warrants that it has, and covenants and agrees that at all times during the term of this Agreement, it will have, good and marketable title to the Collateral now owned by it free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances, except for the Permitted Liens and those junior in right of payment and enforcement to that of the Buyers or in favor of the Buyers, and shall defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons, firms and entities whomsoever. Assuming the Buyers have taken all required action to perfect a security interest in the Collateral as provided by the Code, the Company represents and warrants that as of the date of this Agreement the Buyers have, and that all times in the future the Buyers will have, a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, prior and superior to the rights of all third parties in the Collateral existing on the date of this Agreement or arising after the date of this Agreement, subject to the Permitted Liens. Except as permitted by this Agreement, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Buyers (i) borrow against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral from any other person, firm or entity, except for borrowings which are subordinate to the rights of the Buyers, (ii) grant or create or permit to attach or exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance, or security interest on, of or in any of the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral except those in favor of the Buyers or the Permitted Liens, (iii) permit any levy or attachment to be made against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral, except those subject to the Permitted Liens, or (iv) permit any financing statements to be on file with respect to any of the Collateral, except financing statements in favor of the Buyers or those with respect to the Permitted Liens. The Company shall faithfully preserve and protect the Buyers’ security interest in the Collateral and shall, at their own cost and expense, cause, or assist the Buyers to cause that security interest to be perfected and continue perfected so long as the Notes or any portion of the Notes are outstanding, unpaid or executory. For purposes of the perfection of the Buyers’ security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Company shall from time to time at the request of the Buyers file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, such instruments, documents and notices, including assignments, financing statements and continuation statements, as the Buyers may reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and continue perfected such security interest. The Company shall do all such other acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other instruments and documents, including further security agreements, pledges, endorsements, assignments and notices, as the Buyers in their discretion may reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and preserve the priority of such security interest as a first lien security interest in the Collateral prior to the rights of all third persons, firms and entities, subject to the Permitted Liens and except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Company agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed instead of the original.
6. Insurance. At the reasonable request of the Buyers, the Company’s policies of insurance shall contain loss payable clauses in favor of the Company and the Buyers as their respective interests may appear and shall contain provision for notification of the Buyers thirty (30) days prior to the termination of such policy. At the request of the Buyers, copies of all such policies, or certificates evidencing the same, shall be deposited with the Buyers. If the Company fails to effect and keep in full force and effect such insurance or fail to pay the premiums when due, the Buyers may (but shall not be obligated to) do so for the account of the Company and add the cost thereof to the Notes. The Buyers are irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of the Company to endorse any draft or check which may be payable to the Borrower in order to collect the proceeds of such insurance. Any balance of insurance proceeds remaining in the possession of the Buyers after payment in full of the Notes shall be paid over to the Borrower or the Subsidiary or their order.
7. [RESERVED]

8. Preservation of Rights Against Third Parties; Preservation of Collateral in Buyers’s Possession. Until such time as the Buyers exercise their right to effect the enforcement of the Company’s contract rights relating to the Bridge Loan Documents, the Company assumes full responsibility for taking any and all commercially reasonable steps to preserve rights in respect of its contracts against prior parties. The Buyers shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such of the Collateral as may come into its possession from time to time if the Buyers take such action for that purpose as the Company shall request in writing, provided that such requested action shall not, in the judgment of the Buyers, impair the Buyers’ security interest in the Collateral or its right in, or the value of, the Collateral, and provided further that the Buyers receive such written request in sufficient time to permit the Buyers to take the requested action.

Events of Default and Remedies.
|
(a) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist, the Collateral Agent may then or at any time thereafter, so long as such default shall continue, foreclose the lien or security interest in the Collateral in any way permitted by law, or upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Borrower or the Subsidiary, sell any or all Collateral at private sale at any time or place in one or more sales, at such price or prices and upon such terms, either for cash or on credit, as the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect, or sell any or all Collateral at public auction, either for cash or on credit, as the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect, and at any such sale, the Collateral Agent may bid for and become the purchaser of any or all such Collateral. Pending any such action the Collateral Agent may liquidate the Collateral.
(b) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist, the Collateral Agents may then, or at any time thereafter, so long as such default shall continue, grant extensions to, or adjust claims of, or make compromises or settlements with, debtors, guarantors or any other parties with respect to Collateral or any securities, guarantees or insurance applying thereon, without notice to or the consent of the Borrower or the Subsidiary, without affecting the Borrower’s or the Subsidiary’s liability under this Agreement or the Notes. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary waives notice of acceptance, of nonpayment, protest or notice of protest of any Accounts or Chattel Paper, any of its contract rights or Collateral and any other notices to which the Borrower or the Subsidiary may be entitled.
(c) If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist and be continuing, then in any such event, the Collateral Agent shall have such additional rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof as are provided by the Code and such other rights and remedies in respect thereof which it may have at law or in equity or under this Agreement, including without limitation the right to enter any premises where Equipment, Inventory and/or Fixtures are located and take possession and control thereof without demand or notice and without prior judicial hearing or legal proceedings, which the Borrower and the Subsidiary expressly waive.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any sale or liquidation of the Collateral, and, subject to Section 5, any Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent from insurance, first to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such sale or collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, second to the payment of the Notes, pro rata , whether on account of principal or interest or otherwise as the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect, and then to pay the balance, if any, to the Borrower or the Subsidiary or as otherwise required by law. If such Proceeds are insufficient to pay the amounts required by law, the Borrower shall be liable for any deficiency.
8
(e) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Borrower or the Subsidiary shall promptly upon written demand by the Collateral Agent assemble the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures and make them available to the Buyers at a place or places to be designated by the Collateral Agent The rights of the Collateral Agent under this paragraph to have the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures assembled and made available to it is of the essence of this Agreement and the Collateral Agent may, at its election, enforce such right by an action in equity for injunctive relief or specific performance, without the requirement of a bond.
10. Defeasance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement upon payment and performance in full of the Notes, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and the Buyers shall thereupon terminate their security interest in the Collateral. Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns, provided that, without the prior written consent of the Buyers, the Borrower and the Subsidiary may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights under this Agreement or delegate any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement and any such attempted assignment or delegation shall be null and void. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to obligate the Buyers to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Collateral or to incur expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or disability of the Borrower.

9
(c) Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Company or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Buyers as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Buyers against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Buyers and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Buyers. “Majority Buyers” means at any time a Buyer or Buyers then holding in excess of 50%of the then aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes.
(d) Notice of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the delivery of any documents or certificates required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent hereunder for the benefit of the Buyers, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from a Buyer or the Company or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Collateral Agent will notify the Buyers of its receipt of any such notice. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Buyers in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that unless and until the Collateral Agent has received any such request, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Buyers.
10
(e) Indemnification of Collateral Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents are consummated, the Buyers shall indemnify upon demand the Collateral Agent Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Company or the Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as defined below); provided, however, that no Buyer shall be liable for the payment to the Collateral Agent Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Buyer shall reimburse the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Buyer shall be required to pay, in total under this paragraph (e) and any similar provision in any other Transaction Document, any amount in excess of the total gross purchase price of the Notes purchased by such Buyer. The undertaking in this paragraph shall survive the payment of all obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent. “Indemnified Liabilities” means all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Notes and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Collateral Agent Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Collateral Agent Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Notes or the other Transaction Documents or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Collateral Agent Related Person is a party thereto.
(f) Collateral Agent in Individual Capacity. Any Collateral Agent Related Person may engage in trasactions with, make loans to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or the Borrower and their affiliates, including purchasing and holding Notes, as though the Collateral Agent were not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Buyers. The Buyers acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Collateral Agent Related Person may receive information regarding the Company or the Borrower and their affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or the Borrower and their affiliates) and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to any Notes it holds, a Collateral Agent Related Person shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Buyer and may exercise the same as though the Collateral Agent were not the Collateral Agent, and the terms “Buyer” and “Buyers” include any such Collateral Agent Related Person in its individual capacity.
(g) Successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Buyers shall, resign as Collateral Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Buyers. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Buyers shall appoint from among the Buyers a successor agent for the Buyers, which successor agent shall be approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Buyers and the Company, a successor agent from among the Buyers. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Buyers shall perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Buyers appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
