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.

combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off),
promissory note or other instrument, (ii) option or right,

partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a
reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, Debtor
shall receive such stock certificate, promissory note, instrument,
option, right, payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of
Lenders, shall segregate it from Debtor’s other property and
shall deliver it forthwith to Lenders, 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.
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
