4.2             All other certificates and instruments constituting Collateral from time to time required to be pledged to Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Additional Collateral”) shall be delivered to Lenders promptly upon receipt thereof by or on behalf of Debtor.  All such certificates and instruments shall be held by or on behalf of Lenders pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment or undated stock powers executed in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lenders.  If any Collateral consists of uncertificated securities, unless the immediately following sentence is applicable thereto, Debtor shall cause Lenders (or its custodian, nominee or other designee) to become the registered holder thereof, or cause each issuer of such securities to agree that it will comply with instructions originated by Lenders with respect to such securities without further consent by Debtor.  If any Collateral consists of security entitlements, Debtor shall transfer such security entitlements to Lenders (or its custodian, nominee or other designee) or cause the applicable securities intermediary to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders by Lenders without further consent by Debtor.

5.             Distribution .

 

5.1             So long as an Event of Default does not exist, Debtor shall be entitled to exercise all voting power pertaining to any of the Collateral, provided such exercise is not contrary to the interests of the Lenders and does not impair the Collateral.

 

5.2.                        At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, all rights of Debtor, upon notice given by Lenders , to exercise the voting power and receive payments, which it would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to Section 5.1, shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Lenders , which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting power and receive such payments.

 

5.3             All dividends, distributions, interest and other payments which are received by Debtor contrary to the provisions of Section 5.2 shall be received in trust for the benefit of Lenders  as security and Collateral for payment of the Obligation, shall be segregated from other funds of Debtor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Lenders  as Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Lenders  as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.

 

6.             Further Action By Debtor; Covenants and Warranties .

 

6.1             Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lenders  at all times shall have a perfected security interest in the Collateral. Debtor represents that, other than the security interests described on Schedule 6.1, it has and will continue to have full title to the Collateral free from any liens, leases, encumbrances, judgments or other claims.  The Lenders’  security interest in the Collateral constitutes and will continue to constitute a first, prior and indefeasible security interest in favor of Lenders , subject only to the security interests described on Schedule 6.1 . Debtor will do all acts and things, and will execute and file all instruments (including, but not limited to, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by Lenders to establish, maintain and continue the perfected security interest of Lenders  in the perfected Collateral, and will promptly on demand, pay all costs and expenses of filing and recording, including the costs of any searches reasonably deemed necessary by Lenders  from time to time to establish and determine the validity and the continuing priority of the security interest of Lenders , and also pay all other claims and charges that, in the opinion of Lenders  are reasonably likely to materially prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or Lenders’ security interests therein.

 

6.2             Except (i) in connection with sales of Collateral, in the ordinary course of business, for fair value and in cash, (ii) the assets described on Schedule 6.2 (referred to as the “XTRAX Assets”) which may be sold, transferred or assigned to an entity in which Debtor holds not less than 20% of the outstanding equity and right to receive equity at the time the XTRAX Assets are conveyed, and (iii) for Collateral which is substituted by assets of identical or greater value (subject to the consent of the Lenders ) or which is inconsequential in value, Debtor will not sell, transfer, assign or pledge those items of Collateral (or allow any such items to be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged), without the prior written consent of Lenders  other than a transfer of the Collateral to a wholly-owned United States formed and located subsidiary on prior notice to Lenders , and provided the Collateral remains subject to the security interest herein described.  Although Proceeds of Collateral are covered by this Agreement, this shall not be construed to mean that Lenders  consent to any sale of the Collateral, except as provided herein.  Sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business and as described above shall be free of the security interest of Lenders and Lenders shall promptly execute such documents (including without limitation releases and termination statements) as may be required by Debtor to evidence or effectuate the same.

6.3             Debtor will, at all reasonable times during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, allow Lenders  or their representatives free and complete access to the Collateral and all of Debtor’s records that in any way relate to the Collateral, for such inspection and examination as Lenders reasonably deem necessary.

 

6.4             Debtor, at its sole cost and expense, will protect and defend this Security Agreement, all of the rights of Lender
