of New York and or any other applicable law of any state or states
which has jurisdiction with respect to all, or any portion of, the

of the parties that defined terms in the UCC should be construed in
their broadest sense so that the term “Collateral” will
be construed in its broadest sense. Accordingly if there are, from
time to time, changes to defined terms in the UCC that broaden the
definitions, they are incorporated herein and if existing
definitions in the UCC are broader than the amended definitions,
the existing ones shall be controlling.

Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Debtor and
no further action is required by such Debtor. This Agreement has
been duly executed by each Debtor. This Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Debtor, enforceable

(b) The Debtors have no place of

Except as specifically set forth on Schedule A , each Debtor
is the record owner of the real property where such Collateral is
located, and there exist no mortgages or other liens on any such
real property except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the
Debentures). Except as disclosed on Schedule A , none of
such Collateral is in the possession of any consignee, bailee,

(c) Except
for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Debentures) and except as

granted by any Debtor in the ordinary course of business,
consistent with prior practice), free and clear of any liens,
security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and are fully
authorized to grant the Security Interests. Except as set forth on
Schedule B attached hereto, there is not on file in any
governmental or regulatory authority, agency or
6
recording office an
effective financing statement, security agreement, license or
transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those
that will be filed in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to this
Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. Except as
set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and except pursuant
to this Agreement, as long as this Agreement shall be in effect,
the Debtors shall not execute and shall not knowingly permit to be
on file in any such office or agency any other financing statement
or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed or
recorded in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement).
(d) No
written claim has been received that any Collateral or Debtor's use
of any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has
been no adverse decision to any Debtor's claim of ownership rights
in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or
to any Debtor'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 any Debtor, threatened before
any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency,
arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e) Each
Debtor 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
Parties 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 under the UCC and other necessary documents
have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to
perfect the Security Interests to create in favor of the Secured
Parties a valid, perfected and continuing perfected first priority
lien in the Collateral.
(f) This
Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Parties a valid security
interest in the Collateral, securing the payment and performance of
the Obligations. Upon making the filings described in the
immediately following paragraph, all security interests created
hereunder in any Collateral which may be perfected by filing
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements shall have been duly
perfected. Except for the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements referred to in the immediately following
paragraph, the recordation of the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement (as defined below) with respect to copyrights and
copyright applications in the United States Copyright Office
referred to in paragraph (oo), the execution and delivery of
deposit account control agreements satisfying the requirements of
Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC with respect to each deposit account
of the Debtors, and the delivery of the certificates and other
instruments provided in Section 3, no action is necessary to
create, perfect or protect the security interests created
hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except
for the filing of said
7
financing statements,
the recordation of said Intellectual Property Security Agreement,
and the execution and delivery of said deposit account control
agreements, no consent of any third parties and no authorization,
approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required for (i) the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the
creation or perfection of the Security Interests created hereunder
in the Collateral or (iii) the enforcement of the rights of the
Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder.
(g) Each Debtor irrevocably and
unconditionally authorizes Agent (or its agent) to prepare and file
at any time and from time to time one or more financing statements
under the UCC, with respect to the Secured Parties’ security
interest in the Collateral, with the proper filing and recording
agencies in any jurisdiction deemed proper by it, naming Agent or
its designee as the secured party and such U.S. Obligor as debtor,
as Agent may require, and including any other information with
respect to such Debtors or otherwise required by part 5 of Article
9 of the UCC of such jurisdiction as Agent may determine, together
with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto,
including, without limitation, any financing statement that
describes the Collateral as “all personal property” or
“all assets” of such Debtor or that describes the
Collateral in some other manner as Agent reasonably deems
necessary. Each Debtor hereby ratifies and approves all financing
statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such
Debtor, as the case may be, as debtor with respect to the
Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing
statements) filed by or on behalf of Agent prior to the Closing
Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and ratifies
and confirms the authorization of Agent to file such financing
statements (and amendments, if any). Each Debtor hereby authorizes
Agent to adopt on behalf of such U.S. Obligor any symbol required
for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the
description of the collateral in any financing statement naming
Agent or its designee as the secured party and any Debtor as debtor
includes assets and properties of such Debtor that do not at any
time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the
other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement
shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Debtor to the extent
of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not
render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the
Collateral or otherwise affect the financing statement as it
applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall any Debtor at
any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction
statement or termination statement with respect to any financing
statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto)
naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Debtor as
debtor until the Obligations have been paid in full.
(h) The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by the Debtors does not (i) violate
any of the provisions of any Organizational Documents of any Debtor
or any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental
body or arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or regulation
8
applicable to any Debtor
or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that
with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time
or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing any Debtor's debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which any Debtor is a party or by which any
property or asset of any Debtor is bound or affected. If any, all
required consents (including, without limitation, from stockholders
or creditors of any Debtor) necessary for any Debtor to enter into
and perform its obligations hereunder have been obtained.
(i) The capital stock and other
equity interests listed on Schedule H hereto (the “
Pledged Securities ”) represent all of the capital
stock and other equity interests of the Guarantors, and represent
all capital stock and other equity interests owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company. All of the Pledged Securities are
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company is
the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Securities, free and
clear of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance except
for the security interests created by this Agreement and other
Permitted Liens (as defined in the Debentures).
(j) The
ownership and other equity interests in partnerships and limited
liability companies (if any) included in the Collateral (the
“ Pledged Interests ”) by their express
terms do not provide that they are securities governed by Article 8
of the UCC and are not held in a securities account or by any
financial intermediary.
(k) Except
for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Debentures), each Debtor
shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interests
provided for hereunder as valid and perfected first priority liens
and security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured
Parties until this Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder
shall be terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof. Each Debtor
hereby agrees to defend the same against the claims of any and all
persons and entities. Each Debtor shall safeguard and protect all
Collateral for the account of the Secured Parties. At the request
of the Agent, each Debtor will sign and deliver to the Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties at any time or from time to time one
or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent and will pay the cost of filing the same
in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Agent
to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations
provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Debtor shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts
necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interests
hereunder, and each Debtor shall obtain and furnish to the Agent
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 Interests hereunder.
(l) No
Debtor will transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license, sell
or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral (except for
non-exclusive
9
licenses granted by a
Debtor in its ordinary course of business, consistent with prior
practice, and sales of inventory by a Debtor in its ordinary course
of business) without the prior written consent of the Required
Holders.
(m)

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.

Debtor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable
insurers, insurance with respect to the Collateral, including
Collateral hereafter acquired, against loss or damage of the kinds
and in the amounts customarily insured against by entities of
established reputation having similar properties similarly situated
and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar
circumstances by other such entities and otherwise as is prudent
for entities engaged in similar businesses but in any event
sufficient to cover the full replacement cost thereof. Each Debtor
shall cause each insurance policy issued in connection herewith to
provide, and the insurer issuing such policy to certify to the
Agent, that (a) the Agent will be named as lender loss payee and
additional insured under each such insurance policy; (b) if such
insurance be proposed to be cancelled or materially changed for any
reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify the Agent and
such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Agent
for at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Agent of such
notice, unless the effect of such change is to extend or increase
coverage under the policy; and (c) the Agent will have the right
(but no obligation) at its election to remedy any default in the
payment of premiums within thirty (30) days of notice from the
insurer of such default. If no Event of Default (as defined in the
Debentures) exists and if the proceeds arising out of any claim or
series of related claims do not exceed $100,000, loss payments in
each instance will be applied by the applicable Debtor to the
repair and/or replacement of property with respect to which the
loss was incurred to the extent reasonably feasible, and any loss
payments or the balance thereof remaining, to the extent not so
applied, shall be payable to the applicable Debtor; provided
, however , that payments received by any Debtor after an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing or in excess of $100,000
for any occurrence or series of related occurrences shall be paid
to the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and, if received by
such Debtor, shall be held in trust for the Secured Parties and
immediately paid over to the Agent unless otherwise directed in
writing by the Agent. Copies of such policies or the related
certificates, in each case, naming the Agent as lender loss payee
and additional insured shall be delivered to the Agent at least
annually and at the time any new policy of insurance is issued.
(o) Each
Debtor shall, within ten (10) days of obtaining knowledge thereof,
advise the Secured Parties promptly, in sufficient detail, of any
material adverse change in the Collateral, and of the occurrence of
any event which would
10
have a material adverse
effect on the value of the Collateral or on the Secured
Parties’ security interest, through the Agent, therein.
(p) Each Debtor shall promptly
execute and deliver to the Agent such further deeds, mortgages,
assignments, security agreements, financing statements or other
instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and take such
further action as the Agent may from time to time request and may
in its sole discretion deem necessary to perfect, protect or
enforce the Secured Parties’ security interest in the
Collateral including, without limitation, if applicable, the
execution and delivery of a separate security agreement with
respect to each Debtor’s Intellectual Property (“
Intellectual Property Security Agreement ”) in which
the Secured Parties have been granted a security interest
hereunder, substantially in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Agent, which Intellectual Property Security Agreement, other than
as stated therein, shall be subject to all of the terms and
conditions hereof.
(q) Each

Collateral.

detail upon becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment,
