This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Debtor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Debtor, enforceable against Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
2.2 No Conflicts or Consents. Neither the ownership nor the intended use of the Collateral by Debtor, nor the grant of the security interest by Debtor to Secured Party herein, nor the exercise by Secured Party of any rights and remedies hereunder, does or will (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Articles of Organization, Operating Agreement or other governing documents of Debtor, (ii) conflict with or violate any applicable domestic or foreign law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to or binding upon Debtor, (iii) conflict with or violate any agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon Debtor, or (iv) result in or require the creation of any lien, charge or Encumbrance (as defined below) upon any assets or properties of Debtor except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

2.3 Security Interest. Debtor has and will have at all times full right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Secured Party in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any lien, security interest, adverse claims or other charges or encumbrances. This Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest in favor of Secured Party in the Collateral securing the Obligations. The filing of the financing statements and other instruments of registration delivered concurrently herewith by Debtor to Secured Party will perfect, and establish the first priority of, Secured Party’s security interests hereunder in the Collateral securing the Obligations. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration, other public notice or other action is necessary or desirable to perfect or otherwise continue, preserve or protect such security interest, except for continuation statements or filings.
4
2.4 Title to Assets. As of the date hereof, Debtor has good, valid, and marketable title to all of its properties and assets (whether real or personal), and there exists no mortgage, lien, security interest, reservation, covenant, restriction or other encumbrance (each of the foregoing hereinafter referred to as an “Encumbrance”) of any nature upon, or with respect to, Debtor or any of its properties or assets, including, without limitation, the Collateral, except for liens of record and the security interests created by this Agreement.
2.5 Taxes. Debtor has filed all tax returns and reports required by any governmental authority to be filed by Debtor, and such returns and reports are true and correct. Debtor has paid all taxes, assessments, and other government charges imposed upon it or its income, profits or properties, or upon any part thereof, other than those presently payable without penalty or interest.
2.6 No Default. No Event of Default (as defined in Section 6.1 hereof), and no event which with notice, lapse of time, or both would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.
| 3. | AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF DEBTOR |
Until all of the Obligations of Debtor are paid and performed in full, Debtor hereby covenants and agrees that it shall, unless the Secured Party otherwise consents in advance in writing:
3.1 Payment of Note.

Pay and discharge all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income, profits, properties or any part thereof, prior to the date on which penalties or interest attach thereto, as well as all claims which, if unpaid, might become an Encumbrance upon any properties of Debtor, and pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all of the indebtedness and other obligations of whatever nature of Debtor; provided, however, that Debtor shall not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, claim, indebtedness or obligation so long as (a) the validity thereof is being diligently contested by Debtor in good faith and by proper proceedings, (b) Debtor sets aside on its books adequate reserves therefor in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (c) during the period of such contest the enforcement of any contested item is effectively stayed, and (d) in the case where any such tax, assessment, charge, claim or levy might become an Encumbrance upon any item of the Collateral or any part thereof, Debtor makes arrangements acceptable to the Secured Party to secure the payment thereof.

5
3.6 Notice and Defense of Actions.

Sell, lease, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), pledge or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets (including, without limitation, the Collateral), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for sales of properties and assets other than the Patents and Licenses in the ordinary course of business and for fair market value. Debtor shall not enter into any agreement relating to any Patent or License other than licensing agreements in the ordinary course of business, which are not inconsistent with the terms hereof and which do not have a material adverse effect on Debtor.
| 5. | POWERS AND AUTHORIZATIONS |
5.1 New or Additional Patents. If, before the Obligations shall have been satisfied in full, Debtor shall obtain rights to any new or additional patents or applications therefor, Debtor shall give to Secured Party prompt notice thereof in writing. Any such new patents and applications therefor shall, without any further action on behalf of Debtor, automatically become subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be Patents for the purposes of this Agreement. Debtor will amend Schedule 1.1 to include any new or additional patents and applications therefor, but such new or additional patents and applications therefor shall constitute Collateral hereunder whether or not Debtor so amends Schedule 1.1; and Debtor agrees to execute such additional security agreements, financing statements, instruments of registration and related documents as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party to perfect Secured Party’s security interest in such patents and applications therefor.
5.2. Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or otherwise, in such Secured Party’s discretion, at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which such Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or clause (ii) above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that such Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral, and (v) to execute and file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral. Secured Party shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges, and options expressly or implicitly granted to Secured Party in this Agreement, and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Secured Party shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in their individual capacity or in their capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from such Secured Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This power of attorney is conferred on Secured Party solely to protect, preserve and realize upon the security interests in the Collateral. Secured Party shall not be responsible for any decline in the value of the Collateral and shall not be required to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties or to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest or lien given to secure the Collateral. The powers granted herein are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable from the date hereof and so long as any part of the Obligations is outstanding.
7
5.3 Performance by Secured Party. If Debtor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Secured Party may itself, at its option and in its sole discretion, perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of such Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Debtor on demand; provided, however, that nothing herein shall impose any obligation of any kind whatsoever on Secured Party to perform any obligation or agreement of Debtor.
| 6. | EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES |
6.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:

6.2 Rights and Remedies of the Secured Party. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, in addition to all other rights, powers and remedies herein conferred, conferred in the other Loan Documents or conferred by operation of law, Secured Party may declare the Obligations due, payable and performable or to become due, payable and performable to such Secured Party immediately, including all principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Note payable to Secured Party and all other amounts with respect to Secured Party secured hereby or thereby, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived; and from time to time in its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided below, Secured Party may:
(a) Exercise with respect to the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code applies to the affected Collateral);
8
(b) Require Debtor to, and Debtor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral and the documentation relating to the Collateral as directed by such Secured Party and make it available to such Secured Party at a place to be designated by such Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(c) Reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure;
(d) Dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Debtor or elsewhere, all or any part of the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Secured Party’s power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;
(e) Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any public sale;
(f) Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type that is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations;
(g) Apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Debtor hereby consents to any such appointment; and
(h) At its discretion, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations whenever the circumstances are such that Secured Party is entitled to do so under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise.
Debtor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, five (5) calendar days’ notice to Debtor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
6.3 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, Secured Party may in its discretion apply any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by any Secured Party with respect to any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, to any or all of the following in such order as Secured Party may elect:
| (a) | To the repayment of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by Secured Party in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder; or (iv) the failure of Debtor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof; |
9
| (b) | To the payment or other satisfaction of any liens and other encumbrances upon any of the Collateral; |
| (c) | To the reimbursement of Secured Party for the amount of any obligations of Debtor paid or discharged by Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and of any expenses of Secured Party payable by Debtor hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; |
| (d) | To the satisfaction of any other Obligations; |
| (e) | By holding the same as Collateral; |
| (f) | To the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law; and |
| (g) | By delivery to Debtor or to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. |
Unless the Secured Party otherwise agrees, all proceeds received by Secured Party from the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any Collateral (net of the actual unreimbursed out-of-pocket costs incurred by Secured Party in connection with such sale, collection or other realization) and all payments to Secured Party to reimburse it for certain expenses as provided herein if Debtor can not pay 100% of the demanded expense amounts shall be distributed to Secured Party.
6.4 Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization of or upon the Collateral by Secured Party are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Secured Party is legally entitled, Debtor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the governing Loan Documents or (if no interest is so provided) at such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the fees and expenses of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
6.5 Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Secured Party the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Debtor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity, and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Secured Party or Debtor from resorting to judicial process at any party’s option.
6.6 Remedies Not Exclusive. All rights, powers and remedies herein conferred are cumulative, and not exclusive, of (i) any and all other rights and remedies herein conferred or provided for, (ii) any and all other rights, powers and remedies conferred or provided for in the Loan Documents, and (iii) any and all rights, powers and remedies conferred, provided for or existing at law or in equity, and Secured Party shall, in addition to the rights, powers and remedies herein conferred or provided for, be entitled to avail itself of all such other rights, powers and remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for the collection of and enforcement of the Obligations and the enforcement of the warranties, representations, covenants, indemnities and other agreements contained the Loan Documents. Each and every such right, power and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Secured Party and the exercise of any such right, power or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise, at the same time or thereafter, any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Secured Party or other person or entity in the exercise of any right, power or remedy will impair any such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, power or remedy then or thereafter existing.

The rights and remedies of the Secured Party described in any of the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Secured Party or the then holder of the Note otherwise would have at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided herein, notice to or demand on Debtor in any case shall not entitle Debtor to any other notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
7.7 Entire Agreement; Modification; Benefit. This Agreement, the exhibits hereto, and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters contemplated herein, supersede all prior oral and written agreements with respect to the matters contemplated herein, and may not be modified, deleted or amended except by written instrument executed by the parties. All terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Secured Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in connection with the transfer or assignment of a Note, which is permitted by the terms thereof. Debtor shall not have the right to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Secured Party.
7.8 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the payment and performance in full of all Obligations under the Note.
7.9 Construction. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado (excluding the choice of law rules thereof). Each party hereto hereby acknowledges that all parties hereto participated equally in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and that, accordingly, no court construing this Agreement shall construe it more stringently against one party than against the other.

7.10 Pronouns. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or entity may require.
7.11 Headings. Section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions hereof.
7.12 Payments. If any payment or performance of the Note or of any of the other obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest thereon (if applicable) shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in Colorado are authorized by law to close.
7.13 Execution. To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required; and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of, or on behalf of, each party, or the signatures of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart; but it shall be sufficient that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or the signatures of the persons required to bind any party, appear on one or more of the counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to produce or account for any particular number of counterparts; but rather any number of counterparts shall be sufficient so long as those counterparts contain the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the parties hereto.
