maintains its books and records pertaining to the Collateral; (ii) the movement
or location of all or a material part of the Collateral to or at any address
other than as set forth in said Exhibit B; and (iii) any facts which constitute

foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, will not grant a security interest

agency, where the priority of such party is provided by relevant law or
regulation); and
4
(g) will not use the Collateral in material violation of any statute or
ordinance the violation of which could materially and adversely affect the
Debtor's business.
SECTION 5. RECORDS RELATING TO COLLATERAL. The Debtor will keep its
records concerning the Collateral at its offices designated in the caption of
this Security Interest Agreement or at such other place or places of business of
which the Secured Party shall have been notified in writing no less than ten
(10) days prior thereto. The Debtor will hold and preserve such records and
chattel paper and will permit representatives of the Secured Party at any time
during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine and inspect the
Collateral and to make abstracts from such records and chattel paper
(collectively, "Audit"), and will furnish to the Secured Party such information
and reports regarding the Collateral as the Secured Party may from time to time
reasonably request. As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such Audits will be conducted not more often than once every twelve
(12) months. Unless an Event of Default is continuing at the time of the Audit,
the Secured Party shall bear its own costs of the Audit. If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may make Audits more frequently
and the Debtor will be responsible for the related costs.
SECTION 6. GENERAL AUTHORITY. From and during the term of any Debtor
Event of Default, the Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party the Debtor's
lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Debtor, for
the sole use and benefit of the Secured Party, but at the Debtor's expense, to
exercise, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the
Collateral:
(a) to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any
and all monies due or to become due;
(b) to receive, take, endorse, assign and deliver all checks, notes,
drafts, documents and other negotiable and non- negotiable instruments and
chattel paper taken or received by the Secured Party;
(c) to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
with respect thereto;
(d) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the same or
the proceeds thereof or the related goods securing the Collateral, as fully and
effectually as if the Secured Party were the sole and absolute owner thereof;
(e) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any
allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto; and
(f) to discharge any taxes, liens, security interests or other
encumbrances at any time placed thereon;
5
provided, however, that the Secured Party shall give the Debtor not less than
ten (10) business days' prior written notice of the time and place of any sale
or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral.
The exercise by Secured Party or by the Agent of, or failure to so
exercise, any authority granted herein shall in no manner affect Debtor's
liability to Secured Party, and provided, further, that Secured Party and the
Agent shall be under no obligation or duty to exercise any of the powers hereby
conferred upon them and they shall be without liability for any act or failure
to act in connection with the collection of, or the preservation of, any rights
under any of the Collateral.
SECTION 7. DEBTOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
(a) The Debtor shall be in default under this Security Agreement upon
the occurrence of any of the following events (a "Debtor Event of Default"):
(i) if any representation or warranty made by the Debtor in
this Security Interest Agreement, in the Securities
Purchase Agreement or in any of the other Transaction
Agreements shall be false or misleading in any material
respect; or
(ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the
Debenture) by the Debtor.
(b) The Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that, upon the occurrence of a
Debtor Event of Default, the Debtor shall be deemed to have consented to an
immediate conveyance and transfer to the Secured Party of the copyrights and all
other rights the Debtor may have in the software included in the Collateral,
including, but not necessarily limited to, the software identified in Schedule B
attached hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof,
the Debtor will, upon the occurrence of a Debtor Event of Default, deliver to
the Agent copies of the source code of the relevant software, with accompanying
written assignment of the software to the Secured Parties. Without limiting the
foregoing, such source code and assignment shall be in form sufficient to enable
the Secured Parties to register the software in name of the Secured Parties with
the Copyright Register. The Debtor hereby agrees to take all steps necessary or
appropriate, as requested by each Secured Party or the Agent, to effectuate and
reflect such conveyance and transfer or assignment to Secured Parties. In all
events, such conveyance, transfer or assignment shall be deemed to vest title in
such software in the Secured Parties.
(c) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, the
Debtor acknowledges and agrees that a Secured Party may, upon the occurrence of
a Debtor Event of Default, seek the immediate entry of a preliminary injunction
prohibiting the Debtor's use of such software in any shape, way or manner,
including, but not necessarily limited to, through the sale of products that use
any of such software, and the Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that it will not
contest an application seeking entry of a preliminary injunction and that it
will accept the entry of such injunction.

SECTION 8. REMEDIES UPON DEBTOR EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Debtor Event of
Default shall have occurred, then in addition to the provisions of Section 7
hereof, a Secured Party may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Code. The Secured Party may require the Debtor to assemble all
or any part of the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a
place to be designated by the Secured Party which is reasonably convenient. The
Secured Party shall give the Debtor ten (10) business days prior written notice
of the Secured Party's intention to make any public or private sale or sale at a
broker's board or on a securities exchange of the Collateral. At any such sale
the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as
the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, may determine. The Secured Party
shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The
Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private
sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the
time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
place to which the same may be adjourned. The Secured Party, instead of
exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or
suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell the
Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 9. APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any
sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be
applied in the following order of priorities: (a) first, to pay the reasonable
expenses of such sale or other realization, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, and all expenses, liabilities and advances
reasonably incurred or made by the Secured Party in connection therewith, and
any other unreimbursed expenses for which the Secured Party is to be reimbursed
pursuant to the Section titled "Expenses; Secured Party's Lien" below; (b)
second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order of priority as the
Secured Party, in its sole discretion, shall determine; and (c) finally, to pay
to the Debtor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
SECTION 10. EXPENSES; SECURED PARTY'S LIEN. If any Debtor Event of
Default shall have occurred, the Debtor will forthwith upon demand pay to the
Secured Party: (a) the amount which the Secured Party may have been required to
pay to free any of the Collateral from any lien thereon; and (b) the amount of
any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel, and of any agents not
regularly in its employ, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with
(i) the collection, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral; (ii) the
exercise by the Secured Party of any of the powers conferred upon it hereunder,
or (iii) any default by the Debtor hereunder.
SECTION 11. TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS; RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.
Upon the earlier of
(i) the date on which less than one-quarter of the original principal
amount of the Debentures issued on the Closing Date are outstanding, or
(ii) the payment and performance in full of all the Obligations,
7
the Security Interests shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall
revert to the Debtor. Upon any such termination of the Security Interests or
release of Collateral, the Secured Party will, at the Debtor's expense, to the
extent permitted by law, execute and deliver to the Debtor such documents as the
Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security
Interests or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.
SECTION 12. PERMITTED LIENS. The Debtor further covenants and agrees
that it will not grant any other lien in the Collateral (however denominated) as
long as any of the Obligations remains outstanding other than Permitted Liens
(as defined below). The term "Permitted Liens" means any one or more of the
following:
(a) liens shown on Exhibit A attached hereto or arising under the
Disclosure Annex or specified in the Company's SEC Documents;
(b) liens for taxes, fees, assessments or other governmental charges or
levies, either not delinquent or being actively contested in good faith by the
Debtor;
(c) purchase money liens (i) on equipment acquired or held by the
Debtor, where such lien was created in connection with the financing of the
acquisition of such equipment, or (ii) existing on equipment when such equipment
is or was acquired by the Company; provided, in each case that the lien is
limited to the specific item or items of equipment and improvements and proceeds
thereof;
(d) liens granted by the Debtor in the ordinary course of its business,
and not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, if such liens have
no priority over, and are not PARI PASSU with, the Security Interests;
(e) liens associated with licenses or sublicenses granted to the Debtor
in the ordinary course of its business, in connection with the Debtor's leased
premises or leased property, if such liens have no priority over, and are not
PARI PASSU with, the Security Interests;
(f) leases or subleases granted in the ordinary course of the Debtor's
business, including in connection with the Debtor's leased premises or leased
property; or
(g) liens incurred in the extension, renewal, or refinancing of the

including (c) above, but any such extension, renewal or replacement lien must be
limited to the property encumbered by the existing lien and the principal amount
of the indebtedness may not increase.

Escrow Agent. Any party hereto may from time to time change its address or

the Securities Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 14. AGENT.
(a) Anything in the other provisions of this Security Interest Agreement
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Secured Party may designate another entity
to act as agent (the "Agent") for the Secured Party with respect to any one or
more of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, including, but not necessarily
limited to, the right to hold the security interest and/or be named as secured
party (as agent for the Secured Party) in any filed financing statement and to
take action in the name and stead of the Secured Party hereunder. Such
designation may be made with or without power of substitution, Such designation
shall remain in effect until canceled by the Secured Party, as provided herein;
provided, however, that such cancellation shall not affect the validity of any

all times all Secured Parties shall be represented by one and the same Agent.
(d) Reference is made to the provisions of Sections 2 through 15,
inclusive of the Joint Escrow Instructions. All such provisions are incorporated

purposes, the references therein to (i) the "Document Escrow Agent" shall be

(ii) the "Company" shall be deemed to be references to the Debtor under this
Security Interest Agreement,
9
and (iii) each "Buyer" shall be deemed to be references to each Secured Party

delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power
or remedy under this Security Interest Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Secured Party of any
right, power or remedy under this Security Interest Agreement preclude the
exercise, in whole or in part, of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies
in this Security Interest Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
other remedies provided by law. Neither this Security Interest Agreement nor any
provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but
only by a statement in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of
the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Secured Party.
SECTION 17. GOVERNING LAW.

NON COVENIENS, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions or
to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. To
the extent determined by such court, the Debtor shall reimburse the Secured
Party for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Secured
Party in
10
enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under this Security Interest
Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve
