To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder, provided, that nothing contained in this Section 8 shall relieve the Collateral Agent from liability arising solely from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or other disposition. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

9. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or otherwise.

10. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest until the Grantor has paid and performed in full all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12. Paragraph Headings, Captions, Etc. The paragraph headings, the captions and the footers used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

13. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act, delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein and in the Notes and the other Transaction Documents are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or in equity or by statute.

14. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the party to be charged with enforcement; provided, however, that any provision of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by the Collateral Agent only with the prior written approval of the Majority Holders. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns. The Grantor may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, which the Collateral Agent may withhold in the sole discretion of the Majority Holders. The requirements for resignation, and appointment of a successor to, the Collateral Agent are established by Schedule IV hereto and not by this Agreement.

14

15. Termination of Security Interest; Release of Collateral.  

(a) Upon the payment in full of all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and the payment in full of all other amounts for Obligations that are due and payable at such time, and if no claims for payment by the Company of any Obligations are at the time pending, the Security Interest shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall disburse the funds held by it pursuant to this Agreement as follows:

(i) First, to pay any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 17 that have not been paid by the Grantor;

(ii) Second, to pay each Holder on a pro rata basis the amount of all accrued and unpaid interest (and interest, if any, thereon at the Default Rate) then due each Holder in accordance with the terms of their respective Notes through the most recent Interest Payment Date;

(iii) Third, to pay each Holder on a pro rata basis the amount, if any, of unpaid principal then due on the Maturity Date of any installment of principal of such Holder’s Notes;

(iv) Fourth, to pay each Holder, on a pro rata basis, the amount then due upon acceleration, if any, pursuant to Section 4 of such Holder’s Note(s); and then

(v) Fifth, to pay each Holder who has exercised its repurchase rights under Section 5 of the Notes, on a pro rata basis, all of the applicable unpaid Repurchase Price for each of the Notes or portions thereof required to be repurchased; and then

(vi) Sixth, to pay each Holder any other amount due and payable to such Holder under the Transaction Documents; and then

(vii) Seventh, the remaining amount, if any, to the Grantor.

provided, however, that if the amount of funds held by the Collateral Agent is insufficient to pay all amounts due to the Holders pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iv) above, then the amount paid to the Holders pursuant to this Section 15(b) shall be prorated among the Holders in proportion to the respective amounts due each Holder pursuant to the particular such clause or clauses for which such funds are insufficient.

15

(c) At any time and from time to time prior to termination of the Security Interest pursuant to Section 15(a), the Collateral Agent shall release any of the Collateral only with the prior written consent of the Majority Holders.

(d) Upon any such termination of the Security Interest or release of all the Collateral, the Collateral Agent will, at the expense of the Grantor, execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents and take such other actions as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interest and deliver to the Grantor all Collateral so released then in its possession.

16. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by mail, personal delivery, telephone line facsimile transmission or courier and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed, or upon receipt, if delivered personally, by telephone line facsimile transmission or by courier, in each case addressed to a party at such party's address (or telephone line facsimile transmission number) shown below or such other address (or telephone line facsimile transmission number) as a party shall have provided by notice to the other party in accordance with this provision.

18. Concerning Collateral Agent. The Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or nonexercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Holders, be governed by Schedule IV hereto and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor, except as expressly provided in Sections 14 and 15, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Holders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Grantor shall not be under any obligation to make any inquiry respecting such authority. The Collateral Agent hereby waives for the benefit of the Holders any claim, right or lien of the Collateral Agent against the Collateral arising under applicable law or arising from any business or transaction between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor other than pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

SCHEDULE IV

The Collateral Agent

1. Appointment. The Holders (all capitalized terms used in this Schedule IV and not  otherwise  defined shall have the respective meanings provided in  the  Security agreement to which this Schedule IV is attached (the “Agreement”)), by their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby irrevocably designate Alexandra Global Master Fund Ltd., as Collateral Agent, to act as specified herein and in the Agreement. Each Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each other Holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Agreement and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

2. Nature of Duties. The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Agreement. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of the Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Holder; and nothing in the Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of the Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. The Collateral Agent shall not take any material action or exercise any material right or power pursuant to Section 5, 6 or 7 of this Agreement without the authorization or direction of the Majority Holders; provided, however, that if the Collateral Agent determines that it is unable to contact the Majority Holders for purposes of seeking such authorization or direction or time will not permit the Collateral Agent to so contact the Majority Holders prior to such time as detriment may occur to the rights of the Collateral Agent or the Holders from any failure of the Collateral Agent to act or exercise such right, then in any such case the Collateral Agent may take such action or exercise such right without specific authorization or direction from the Majority Holders.

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. Any act done or omitted by the Collateral Agent on the advice of its own attorneys shall be deemed conclusively to have been done or omitted in good faith. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to consult with counsel on any question arising under the Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability for any delay reasonably required to obtain the advice of counsel.

3. Lack of Reliance on the Collateral Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, each Holder, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Grantor and its subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Obligations and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Grantor and its subsidiaries, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Holder with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligation arises or the purchase of any Note, or at any time or times thereafter. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Holder for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the Agreement or the financial condition of the Grantor or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement, or the financial condition of the Grantor, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.

IV-1

4. Certain Rights of the Collateral Agent.  No Holder shall have the right to cause the Collateral Agent to take any action with respect to the Collateral, with only the Majority Holders having the right to direct the Collateral Agent to take any such action. If the Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the Majority Holders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Majority Holders, and to the extent requested, appropriate indemnification in respect of actions to be taken by the Collateral Agent; and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Holders or as otherwise specifically provided in the Agreement.

5. Reliance. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

6. Limitation of Holder Liability.  The Holders shall not be liable for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement, or in any way relating to or arising out of the Agreement.

7. The Collateral Agent in its Individual Capacity.  The Collateral Agent and its affiliates may lend money to, purchase, sell and trade in securities of and generally engage in any kind of business with the Grantor or any affiliate or subsidiary of the Grantor as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, otherwise without having to account for the same to the Holders; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and such affiliates, hereby waives any claim, right or lien against the Collateral in any way arising from or relating to any such loan, securities transaction or business with the Grantor.

IV-2

8. Holders. The Collateral Agent may deem and treat the holder of record of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Collateral Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of record of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note(s) issued in exchange therefor.

9. Resignation by the Collateral Agent.  (a) The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under the Agreement at any time by giving 60 days' prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Grantor and the Holders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Majority Holders shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent hereunder.

(c) If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 60-day period, the Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve as Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Holders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. If a successor Collateral Agent has not been appointed within such 60-day period, the Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Grantor and Holders in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, and all fees, including but not limited to extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader, and expenses associated therewith shall be payable by the Grantor.

(d) The fees of any successor Collateral Agent for its services as such shall be payable by the Grantor.
