PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.

(1) The Purchaser has purchased a $10,000,000 Senior Secured Note dated the date hereof (the “Note”) issued by the Company (said note, as it may hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Note”) pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the Purchaser. Each Grantor (other than the Company) has entered into a guaranty dated the date hereof (or a supplement thereto) (the “Guaranty”) in favor of the Purchaser pursuant to which such Grantor has guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Note.

(2) Each Grantor is the owner of the shares of capital stock (the “Initial Pledged Equity”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part I of Schedule I hereto.

(3) Each Grantor is the owner of the deposit accounts (the “Pledged Deposit Accounts”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule II hereto.

(4) The Company owns an account (the “Securities Account”) in which it maintains securities or other investments.

- 5 -


be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all such rights and interests as if such provision had never been in effect; or (e) any governmental permit or franchise that prohibits liens or other encumbrances on or collateral assignment of such permit or franchise.

Section 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures, in the case of each Grantor, the payment of all obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under the Note or the Guaranty, as the case may be, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, fees, premiums, penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (all such Obligations being the “Secured Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by such Grantor to the Purchaser under the Note but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Grantor.

Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Grantor’s Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Purchaser of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) the Purchaser shall not have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection herewith, nor shall the Purchaser be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Section 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral. (a) All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral shall be delivered to and held by the Purchaser pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(b) With respect to any Security Collateral that constitutes an uncertificated security, the relevant Grantor will cause the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Purchaser as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree with such Grantor and the Purchaser that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Purchaser without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser (such agreement being an “Uncertificated Security Control Agreement”).

(c) With respect to the Securities Account and any Security Collateral that constitutes a security entitlement as to which the Purchaser is not the securities intermediary, the relevant Grantor, at Purchaser’s request, will cause the securities intermediary with respect to such Account or security entitlement either (i) to identify in its records the Purchaser as the entitlement holder thereof or

 

- 6 -


(ii) to agree with such Grantor and the Purchaser that such securities intermediary will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Purchaser without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser (a “Securities Account Control Agreement” or “Securities/Deposit Account Control Agreement,” respectively).

(d) Upon the request of the Purchaser, each Grantor will notify each issuer of Security Collateral granted by it hereunder that such Security Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.

At the reasonable request of the Purchaser, each policy of each Grantor for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of the Purchaser and such Grantor as their interests may appear, and each policy for property damage insurance shall

 

- 11 -


provide for all losses (except for losses of less than $50,000 per occurrence) to be paid directly to the Purchaser. At the reasonable request of the Purchaser, each such policy shall in addition (i) name such Grantor and the Purchaser as insured parties thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Purchaser) as their interests may appear, (ii) contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Purchaser notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or warranty by such Grantor, (iii) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Purchaser for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto and (iv) provide that at least 10 days’ prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to the Purchaser by the insurer. Each Grantor will, if so requested by the Purchaser, deliver to the Purchaser original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Purchaser may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Further, each Grantor will, at the request of the Purchaser, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 8 and cause the insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.

(b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this Section 9 may be paid directly to the individual or business entity who shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of this Section 9 is not applicable, the applicable Grantor will make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance properly received by or released to such Grantor shall be used by such Grantor, except as otherwise required hereunder or by the Note, to pay or as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.

(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all insurance payments received by the Purchaser in connection with any loss, damage or destruction of any Inventory or Equipment will be released by the Purchaser to the applicable Grantor for the repair, replacement or restoration thereof, subject to such terms and conditions with respect to the release thereof as the Purchaser may reasonably require. To the extent that (i) the amount of any such insurance payments exceeds the cost of any such repair, replacement or restoration, or (ii) such insurance payments are not otherwise required by the applicable Grantor to complete any such repair, replacement or restoration required hereunder, the Purchaser will not be required to release the amount thereof to such Grantor and may hold or continue to hold such amount as additional security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or the actual or constructive total loss (in excess of $50,000 per occurrence) of any Equipment or Inventory, all insurance payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to the Purchaser and shall, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, (i) be released to the applicable Grantor to be applied as set forth in the first sentence of this subsection (c) or (ii) be held as additional Collateral hereunder or applied as specified in Section 19(b).

Section 10. Post-Closing Changes; Collections on Receivables. (a) No Grantor will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number or location from those set forth in 6(a) of this Agreement without first giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser and taking all action required by the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. Each Grantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the

 

- 12 -


Collateral and will permit representatives of the Purchaser at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If any Grantor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the Purchaser of such organizational identification number.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), each Grantor will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due such Grantor under the Receivables. In connection with such collections, such Grantor may take (and, at the Purchaser’s direction, will take) such action as such Grantor or the Purchaser may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Receivables; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the Obligors under any Receivables of the assignment of such Receivables to the Purchaser and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Purchaser and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Receivables, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Receivables, including, without limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Purchaser referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Receivables of such Grantor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Purchaser in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) and, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 19(b) and (ii) such Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon. No Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the Receivables to any other indebtedness or obligations of the Obligor thereof.

Section 11. As to Intellectual Property Collateral. (a) With respect to each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all necessary steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent, trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings. No Grantor shall, without the written consent of the Purchaser, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor determines that such use or the

 

- 13 -


pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof would not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on such Grantor’s business, in which case, such Grantor will give prompt notice of any such abandonment to the Purchaser.

(b) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Purchaser if such Grantor becomes aware (i) that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral may have become abandoned, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the same, or (ii) of any adverse determination or the institution of any proceeding (including, without limitation, the institution of any proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral.

(c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Purchaser and shall take such actions, at its expense, as such Grantor deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect or enforce such Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.

(d) Each Grantor shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral. Except as provided in Section 11(a) hereof, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain.

(e) Each Grantor shall take all steps which it or the Purchaser deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality.

(f) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser (an “Intellectual Property Security Agreement”), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Purchaser in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.

(g) Each Grantor agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type set forth in Section 1(e) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks, the

 

- 14 -


goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. Within 30 days of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, each Grantor shall give written notice to the Purchaser identifying the After-Acquired Intellectual Property acquired during such fiscal quarter, and such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser (an “IP Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property.

Section 12. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral or any part thereof.

(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Note; provided, however, that any and all

(A) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral,

(B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Security Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid in surplus and

(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral

shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Purchaser to hold as, Security Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and be forthwith delivered to the Purchaser as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(iii) The Purchaser will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

 

- 15 -


(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) All rights of each Grantor (x) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 12(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Grantor by the Purchaser, cease and (y) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Purchaser, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.

(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 12(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Purchaser as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

Section 13. As to Letter-of-Credit Rights. (a) Each Grantor, by granting a security interest in its Receivables consisting of letter-of-credit rights to the Purchaser, intends to (and hereby does) assign to the Purchaser its rights (including its contingent rights) to the proceeds of all contracts consisting of letters of credit of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or assignee. Each Grantor will promptly cause the issuer of each letter of credit and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the proceeds thereof pursuant to a consent in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser and deliver written evidence of such consent to the Purchaser.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Grantor will, promptly upon request by the Purchaser, (i) notify (and such Grantor hereby authorizes the Purchaser to notify) the issuer and each nominated person with respect to each of the Related Contracts consisting of letters of credit that the proceeds thereof have been assigned to the Purchaser hereunder and any payments due or to become due in respect thereof are to be made directly to the Purchaser or its designee and (ii) arrange for the Purchaser to become the transferee beneficiary of letter of credit.

Section 14. Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor will promptly give notice to the Purchaser of any commercial tort claim that may arise after the date hereof and will immediately execute or otherwise authenticate a supplement to this Agreement, and otherwise take all necessary action, to subject such commercial tort claim to the first priority security interest created under this Agreement.

Section 15. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares. (a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, or (ii) create or suffer to

 

- 16 -


exist any lien or other encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of such Grantor except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created under this Agreement and any liens or other encumbrances permitted under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.

(b) Each Grantor agrees that it will (i) cause each issuer of the capital stock pledged by such Grantor not to issue any capital stock or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Equity issued by such issuer, except to such Grantor, and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional capital stock or other securities.

Section 16. Purchaser Appointed Attorney in Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Purchaser such Grantor’s attorney in fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Purchaser’s discretion, to, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, take any action and to execute any instrument that the Purchaser may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9,

(b) to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral,

Section 17. Purchaser May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Purchaser may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Purchaser incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 20.

Section 18. The Purchaser’s Duties. (a) The powers conferred on the Purchaser hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Purchaser shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Purchaser shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.

 

- 17 -


(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Purchaser may from time to time, when the Purchaser deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Purchaser hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Purchaser so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Purchaser as security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Purchaser, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Purchaser,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Purchaser with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Purchaser.

Section 19. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Purchaser may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Purchaser forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Purchaser and make it available to the Purchaser at a time to be designated by the Purchaser that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Purchaser’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Purchaser may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of the Receivables and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor 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. The Purchaser shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Purchaser 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.

 

- 18 -


(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Purchaser and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Purchaser in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Purchaser, be held by the Purchaser as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 15) in whole or in part by the Purchaser against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Purchaser and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Purchaser in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(d) The Purchaser may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held in any deposit account.

(e) The Purchaser may send to each bank, securities intermediary or issuer party to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities/Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Uncertificated Security Control Agreement a “Notice of Exclusive Control” as defined in and under such Agreement.

(f) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Purchaser or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.

(g) If the Purchaser shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Security Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this Section 19, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Purchaser, such Grantor will, at its own expense:

(i) execute and deliver, and cause each issuer of such Security Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Purchaser, advisable to register such Security Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended from time to time, the “Securities Act”), to cause the registration

 

- 19 -


statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus that, in the opinion of the Purchaser, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto;

(ii) use its best efforts to qualify the Security Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of such Security Collateral, as requested by the Purchaser;

(iii) cause each such issuer of such Security Collateral to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

(iv) provide the Purchaser with such other information and projections as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Purchaser, advisable to enable the Purchaser to effect the sale of such Security Collateral; and

(v) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Security Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

(h) The Purchaser is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Security Collateral pursuant to this Section 19, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Security Collateral: (i) any registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments thereto, prepared pursuant to subsection (e)(i) above; (ii) any information and projections provided to it pursuant to subsection (e)(iv) above; and (iii) any other information in its possession relating to such Security Collateral.

(i) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Purchaser by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in subsection (f) above and, consequently, agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it will pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Security Collateral on the date the Purchaser shall demand compliance with subsection (f) above.

Section 20. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Purchaser and each of its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

- 20 -


(b) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Purchaser the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Purchaser may incur 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 of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Purchaser hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Purchaser and the Grantors, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Purchaser to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

(b) Upon the execution and delivery by any third-party of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such third-party shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this Agreement and the Note to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.

All such notices and other communications shall, when mailed, faxed, sent by electronic mail or otherwise, be effective when deposited in the mails, confirmed by facsimile answerback, sent by electronic mail and confirmed in writing, or otherwise delivered (or confirmed by a signed receipt), respectively, addressed as aforesaid; except that notices and other communications to the Purchaser shall not be effective until received by the Purchaser. Delivery by facsimile or electronic mail of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

(b) Upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and, the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Purchaser will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

Section 25. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Exhibit A to the

Security Agreement

FORM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT

This INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “IP Security Agreement”) dated August 31, 2007 is made by the business entities listed on the signature pages hereof (collectively, the “Grantors”) in favor of Prides Capital Fund I, L.P., as lender (the “Purchaser”).

WHEREAS, the Purchaser has purchased a note dated the date hereof (the “Note”) issued by the Company (said note, as it may hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Note”) pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2007 between the Company and the Purchaser.

WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the Purchaser purchasing the Note each Grantor has executed and delivered that certain Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof made by the Grantors to the Purchaser (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”).

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Grantors have granted to the Purchaser a security interest in, among other property, certain intellectual property of the Grantors, and have agreed as a condition thereof to execute this IP Security Agreement for recording with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office and other governmental authorities.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor agrees as follows:

SECTION 1. Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (the “Collateral”):

(i) the patents and patent applications set forth in Schedule A hereto (the “Patents”);

(ii) the trademark and service mark registrations and applications set forth in Schedule B hereto (provided that no security interest shall be granted in United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark applications under applicable federal law), together with the goodwill symbolized thereby (the “Trademarks”);

(iii) all copyrights, whether registered or unregistered, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, including, without limitation, the copyright registrations and applications and exclusive copyright licenses set forth in Schedule C hereto (the “Copyrights”);


(iv) all reissues, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, extensions, renewals and reexaminations of any of the foregoing, all rights in the foregoing provided by international treaties or conventions, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world and all other rights of any kind whatsoever of such Grantor accruing thereunder or pertaining thereto;

(v) any and all claims for damages and injunctive relief for past, present and future infringement, dilution, misappropriation, violation, misuse or breach with respect to any of the foregoing, with the right, but not the obligation, to sue for and collect, or otherwise recover, such damages; and

(vi) any and all proceeds of, collateral for, income, royalties and other payments now or hereafter due and payable with respect to, and supporting obligations relating to, any and all of the Collateral of or arising from any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. The grant of a security interest in, the Collateral by each Grantor under this IP Security Agreement secures the payment of all Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Note, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this IP Security Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and that would be owed by such Grantor to the Purchaser under the Note but for the fact that such Secured Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party.

SECTION 3. Recordation. Each Grantor authorizes and requests that the Register of Copyrights, the Commissioner for Patents and the Commissioner for Trademarks and any other applicable government officer record this IP Security Agreement.

SECTION 4. Execution in Counterparts. This IP Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 5. Grants, Rights and Remedies. This IP Security Agreement has been entered into in conjunction with the provisions of the Security Agreement. Each Grantor does hereby acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the security interest hereunder to, and the rights and remedies of, the Purchaser with respect to the Collateral are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

SECTION 6. Governing Law. This IP Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

2


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor has caused this IP Security Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
