6.           Further Action By Debtors; Covenants and Warranties.
 
6.1           Subscribers at all times shall have a perfected security interest in the Collateral.  Each 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, except for Permitted Liens as defined in the Subscription Agreement.  The Subscribers’ security interest in the Collateral constitutes and will continue to constitute a first, prior and indefeasible security interest in favor of Subscribers, subject only to the security interests described on Schedule 6.1.  Each 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 Subscribers to establish, maintain and continue the perfected security interest of Subscribers 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 Subscribers from time to time to establish and determine the validity and the continuing priority of the security interest of Subscribers, and also pay all other claims and charges that, in the opinion of Subscribers are reasonably likely to materially prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or Subscribers’ security interests therein.

6.2           Except in connection with sales of Collateral, in the ordinary course of business, for fair value and in cash, and except for Collateral which is substituted by assets of identical or greater value (subject to the consent of the Subscribers) or which is not material to the Debtor’s business, each 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 Subscribers other than a transfer of the Collateral to a wholly-owned United States formed and located subsidiary or to another Debtor on prior notice to Subscribers, 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 Subscribers consent to any sale of the Collateral, except as provided herein.  Sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business as described above shall be free of the security interest of Subscribers and Subscribers shall promptly execute such documents (including without limitation releases and termination statements) as may be required by Debtors to evidence or effectuate the same.

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

6.4           Each Debtor, at its sole cost and expense, will protect and defend this Security Agreement, all of the rights of Subscribers hereunder, and the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons other than the Subscribers.

6.5           Debtors will promptly notify Subscribers of any levy, distraint or other seizure by legal process or otherwise of any part of the Collateral, and of any threatened or filed claims or proceedings that are reasonably likely to affect or impair any of the rights of Subscribers under this Security Agreement in any material respect.

6.6           Each Debtor, at its own expense, will obtain and maintain in force insurance policies covering losses or damage to those items of Collateral which constitute physical personal property, which insurance shall be of the types customarily insured against by companies in the same or similar business, similarly situated, in such amounts (with such deductible amounts) as is customary for such companies under the same or similar circumstances, similarly situated.  Debtors shall make the Subscribers loss payee thereon to the extent of its interest in the Collateral. Subscribers are hereby irrevocably (until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full) appointed each Debtor’s attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or draft that may be payable to such Debtor so that Subscribers may collect the proceeds payable for any loss under such insurance.  The proceeds of such insurance, less any costs and expenses incurred or paid by Subscribers in the collection thereof, shall be applied either toward the cost of the repair or replacement of the items damaged or destroyed, or on account of any sums secured hereby, whether or not then due or payable.

6.7           In order to protect the Collateral and Subscribers’ interest therein, Subscribers may, at Subscribers’ option, and without any obligation to do so, pay, perform and discharge any and all amounts, costs, expenses and liabilities herein agreed to be paid or performed by Debtor upon Debtor’s failure to do so.  All amounts expended by Subscribers in so doing shall become part of the Obligations secured hereby, and shall be immediately due and payable by Debtor to Subscribers upon demand and shall bear interest at the lesser of 15% per annum or the highest legal amount allowed from the dates of such expenditures until paid.

6.8           Upon the request of Subscribers, Debtors will furnish to Subscribers within five (5) business days thereafter, or to any proposed assignee of this Security Agreement, a written statement in form reasonably satisfactory to Subscribers, duly acknowledged, certifying the amount of the principal and interest and any other sum then owing under the Obligations, whether to its knowledge any claims, offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations or against this Security Agreement, or any of the terms and provisions of any other agreement of Debtors securing the Obligations.  In connection with any assignment by Subscribers of this Security Agreement, each Debtor hereby agrees to cause the insurance policies required hereby to be carried by such Debtor, if any, to be endorsed in form satisfactory to Subscribers or to such assignee, with loss payable clauses in favor of such assignee, and to cause such endorsements to be delivered to Subscribers within ten (10) calendar days after request therefor by Subscribers.

6.9           Each Debtor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Subscribers from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other reasonable assurances or instruments and take further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, as the Subscribers may reasonably require to perfect its security interest hereunder.

6.10         Debtors represent and warrant that they are the true and lawful exclusive owners of the Collateral, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances and claims other than those listed on Schedule 6.1.
