No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Issuer or their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Issuer but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.

Since the date of the most recent Commission Document disclosing an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, there have been no changes in the Issuers internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Issuers internal control over financial reporting.

Neither the Issuer nor any person acting on its behalf has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Issuer for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Issuer from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Issuer or any of its affiliates take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings if to do so would prevent the Issuer from selling Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act or otherwise prevent a completed offering of Securities hereunder. The Issuer does not have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commissions review and since September 26, 2009, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(t), the Issuer has not offered or sold any shares of its Common Stock or any equity securities or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each Investor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Investor or its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case may be, is required. When executed and delivered by the Investors, the other Transaction Documents shall constitute valid and binding obligations of each Investor enforceable against such Investor in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

Each Investor is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D).

Each Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities. Commencing on the date that the Investors were initially contacted regarding an investment in the Securities, none of the Investors has engaged in any short sale of the Common Stock and will not engage in any short sale of the Common Stock prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Issuer covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that the Issuer believes constitutes material non-public information except as otherwise required by Section 3.3, in which event the Issuer shall identify any such material non-public information prior to disclosure to any Investor. The Issuer understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Issuer. In the event of any disclosure of material non-public information pursuant to Section 3.3 or in the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant by the Issuer or any of its officers, directors, employees and agents, in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, the Issuer shall publicly disclose any material, non-public information in a Form 8-K within four (4) business days of the date that it discloses such information to any Investor (or, with the consent of such Investor, in the applicable Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)). In the event that the Issuer discloses any material, non-public information to a Investor and fails to make public disclosure in accordance with the above, an Investor shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material, nonpublic information without the prior approval by the Issuer or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents. No Investor shall have any liability to the Issuer or any of its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents or affiliates for any such disclosure.
Section 3.9 Pledge of Securities. The Issuer acknowledges that the Securities may be pledged by an Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Investor effecting a pledge of the Securities shall be required to provide the Issuer with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that an Investor and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. At the Investors expense, the Issuer hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by an Investor.
Section 3.10 Amendments. The Issuer shall not amend or waive any provision of the Certificate or Bylaws of the Issuer in any way that would adversely affect exercise rights, voting rights (to the extent applicable), conversion rights, prepayment rights or redemption rights of the holder of the Notes or the Warrants.
Section 3.11 Distributions. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock (or security convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Issuer.
Section 3.12 Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Issuer shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance, one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.
Section 3.13 Transfer Agent Instructions. (a) The Issuer shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Investor or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares (or, to the extent specified by such Investor in accordance with the terms of a Note or Warrant, deliver such shares via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System) in such amounts as are specified from time to time by each Investor to the Issuer upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions). The Issuer warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.13 will be given by the Issuer to its transfer agent except as otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents or consented to by the Lead Investor and that the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Issuer as and to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents.
(b) The Issuer covenants that it will take such action as the Investors may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable the Investors to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Without limitation, the Issuer shall instruct its transfer agent to remove any legends from certificates for Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares eligible to be sold under Rule 144 and issue such unlegended certificates to the transferee, and shall cause to be provided to such transfer agent (at the Issuers expense) any opinion of counsel and/or Issuer certification required in order for such transfer agent to comply with such instructions, within three (3) Trading Days of such Investors request so long as such Investor has provided a customary representation letter to the Issuer that provides a reasonable basis to conclude, to the extent such conclusion is dependent upon matters to be confirmed by the Investor, that such Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Upon the request of an Investor, the Issuer shall deliver to such Investor a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the requirements of Rule 144.
(c) In addition, the Issuer will provide, at the Issuers expense, such transfer agent instructions and legal opinions in the future as are reasonably necessary for the issuance and resale of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares pursuant to any effective registration statement or any exemption from registration pursuant to which an Investor proposes to sell securities within three (3) Trading Days of an Investors request. Furthermore, if a registration statement is in effect covering the sale of any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, or if any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 without regard to volume limitations, manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements, the Issuer will instruct its transfer agent to remove any legends from certificates for such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares and issue such unlegended certificates to the Investor (or the transferee if in connection with a transfer) and shall cause to be provided to such transfer agent (at the Issuers expense) any opinion of counsel and/or Issuer certification required in order for such transfer agent to comply with such instructions, within three (3) Trading Days of such Investors request.
(d) The Issuer acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.13 will cause irreparable harm to the Investors by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Issuer acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.13 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Issuer of the provisions of this Section 3.13, that the Investors shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. Nothing in this Section 3.13 shall restrict the Issuer from changing transfer agents if it desires to do so so long as it complies with the Issuers obligations under this Section 3.13, and otherwise under the Transaction Documents, in relation to the new transfer agent.
Section 3.14 Form S-1 Eligibility; Opinions. The Issuer currently meets, and will take all necessary action to continue to meet, the registrant eligibility and transaction requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form S-1 applicable to resale registrations on Form S-1 during the Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and the Issuer shall file all reports required to be filed by the Issuer with the Commission in a timely manner so as to maintain such eligibility for the use of Form S-1.
Section 3.15 Acquisition of Assets; Formation of Subsidiaries. For so long as any Note is outstanding, in the event the Issuer acquires any assets or other properties, such assets or properties shall constitute a part of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) and the Issuer shall take all action necessary to perfect the Investors security interests in such assets or properties pursuant to the Security Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Issuer forms a Subsidiary, the Issuer shall as promptly as practicable (i) enter into any supplement to the Security Agreement (including any freestanding pledge agreement) and take all other actions requested by the Lead Investor to perfect the security interests of the Investors in the ownership interests of the Subsidiary held by the Issuer or any other Subsidiary, (ii) cause such Subsidiary to enter into any supplement to the Security Agreement (including any freestanding pledge agreement) and take all other actions requested by the Lead Investor to perfect the security interests of the Investors in the assets and other properties of such Subsidiary and (iii) cause such Subsidiary to enter into a guaranty of the Transaction Documents in form and scope satisfactory to the Lead Investor.
Section 3.16
Subsequent Financings.
(a) For so long as any Notes remain outstanding and until the second anniversary of the Closing, if later), the Issuer covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than five (5) business days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a Rights Notice) the Investors of the terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party (a Subsequent Financing), of Common Stock or any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including convertible debt securities (collectively, the Financing Securities). The Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall be within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the Rights Notice, and all of the material terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith. The Rights Notice shall provide each Investor an option (the Rights Option) during the ten (10) Trading Days following delivery of the Rights Notice (the Option Period) to inform the Issuer whether such Investor will purchase up to such Investors pro rata share of the securities in such Subsequent Financing in accordance with such terms and conditions. If any Investor elects not to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other Investors may take up all or any portion of such Investors pro rata share so long as the participation in the aggregate of all Investors does not exceed the aggregate pro rata shares of all Investors. For purposes of this Section, all references to pro rata means, for any Investor electing to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the principal amount of the Notes purchased by such Investor at the Closing by (y) the total principal amount of all of the Notes purchased by all of the Investors at the Closing. Delivery of any Rights Notice constitutes a representation and warranty by the Issuer that there are no other material terms and conditions, arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights Notice, including to provide additional compensation to any party participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing, any type of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or any agreement to issue additional securities at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Issuer does not receive notice of exercise of the Rights Option from the Investors within the Option Period, the Issuer shall have the right to close the Subsequent Financing with a third party; provided that all of the material terms and conditions of the closing are substantially the same as those provided to the Investors in the Rights Notice. If the closing of the proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur within 30 days from the end of the Option Period, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Section 3.16(a), including, without limitation, the delivery of a new Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section 3.16(a) shall not apply to issuances of securities in a Permitted Financing.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, a Permitted Financing shall mean (1) issuances of shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Issuer pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by a majority of the independent, non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or a majority of the members of a committee of independent, non-employee directors established for such purpose; (2) issuances of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of any such securities (including the Notes and Warrants issued to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement); and (3) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the independent, disinterested directors, but not including a transaction with an entity whose primary business is investing in securities or a transaction the primary purpose of which is to raise capital.
(c) So long as the Notes are outstanding and the Issuer has not completed a Qualified Financing, the Issuer shall not without the consent of the Lead Investor enter into any Subsequent Financing that is not a Qualified Financing (as defined in the Notes), provided that the Issuer may, without the consent of the Lead Investor, sell up to an additional $1.15 million in Second Lien Notes (for a total of $3.0 million in Notes including the $1.85 million in Notes being sold on the date hereof), with accompanying Warrants, on the terms set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents.
Section 3.17 Variable Rate Securities. For so long as any Notes have not been paid in full or converted in full, notwithstanding whether or not an issuance of securities is a Permitted Financing, the Issuer shall not issue or sell, or agree to issue or sell Variable Equity Securities (as defined below) other than the Notes (the Variable Equity Securities Lock-Up), without obtaining the prior written approval of the Lead Investor, with the exception of any such agreements or transactions that (x) exist as of the date hereof and (y) are not amended or modified after the date hereof. For purposes hereof, the following shall be collectively referred to herein as, the Variable Equity Securities: (A) any debt or equity securities which are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (1) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security, or (2) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security due to a change in the market price of the Issuers Common Stock since date of initial issuance, or (B) any amortizing convertible security which amortizes prior to its maturity date, where the Issuer is required to or has the option to (or the investor in such transaction has the option to require the Issuer to) make such amortization payments in shares of Common Stock (whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity conditions), or (C) any transaction involving a written agreement between the Issuer and an investor or underwriter whereby the Issuer has the right to put its securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at an agreed price or price formula.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.1 General Indemnity. (a) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investors (and their respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Investors (and such persons) as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Issuer in the Transaction Documents.
(b) Each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Issuer (and such persons) as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Issuer in Section 2.2 of this Agreement.
Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an indemnified party) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified partys costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified partys prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

If the Lead Investor and the Issuer are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within five (5) business days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Lead Investor, then the Issuer shall, within three (3) business days from the end of such five (5) business day period submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the VWAP to an independent, nationally or regionally recognized investment bank selected by the Issuer and approved by the Lead Investor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price, adjusted Conversion Price, Warrant Price, adjusted Warrant Price, number of securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or any redemption price, redemption amount or default amount to an independent, nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm selected by the Issuer and approved by the Lead Investor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (c) the disputed facts regarding whether a subsequent issuance of securities is prohibited hereunder or would lead to an adjustment to the Conversion Price (or any of the other above described facts not expressly designated to the investment bank or accountant), to an expert attorney from a nationally recognized outside law firm (having at least 100 attorneys and having with no prior relationship with the Issuer) selected by the Issuer and approved by the Lead Investor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Each Investor hereby appoints the Lead Investor as the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement and the IP Security Agreement (collectively, the Security Documents) and each Investor authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Security Documents as are delegated to the Collateral Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Investor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party relating to security for the obligations under the Notes, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Collateral Agent may have under such Security Documents and, in the case of the Security Documents, to act as agent for the Investors under such Transaction Documents.

Upon the repayment or conversion in full of all First Lien Notes, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action other than upon the instructions of Investors holding at least 51% of the aggregate amount of the Notes then outstanding, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Investors holding at least 51% of the aggregate amount of the Notes then outstanding, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Investors; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Collateral Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless the Collateral Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion from the Investors with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Except as aforesaid, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action to enforce the Security Documents or to realize upon any Collateral (as defined in the Security Documents).
(b) Duties are Administrative in Nature. In performing its functions and duties under the Security Documents and the other documents required to be executed or delivered in connection therewith, the Collateral Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Investors and its duties are entirely administrative in nature. The Collateral Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation other than as expressly set forth herein. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under any Security Document by or through its agents or employees.

(c) No Liability. None of the Collateral Agent, any of its affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it, him, her or them under or in connection with the Security Documents, except for its, his, her or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) Indemnification. Each Investor agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and each of its affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Issuer), from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Collateral Agent or any of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of the Security Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents or the document related thereto; provided, however, that no Investor shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Collateral Agents or such Affiliates gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Investor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent in the amount of such Investors pro rata share (based on the original principal amounts of the Notes acquired hereunder) for all expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the administration of the Collateral and the enforcement of the Security Documents to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Issuer.
(f) Resignation. The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. The Issuer shall notify the Investors promptly of such resignation.

After such resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Agreement as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Security Documents and any other documents required to be executed or delivered in connection therewith.
(g) Binding. Each Investor agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other document relating thereto, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent or the Investors of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Investors.

(ii) Each Second Lien Investor agrees that (A) if at any time such Second Lien Investor receives the proceeds of any Collateral (other than through application by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.18(b)(i)), such Second Lien Investor shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with Section 7.18(b)(i); and (B) such Second Lien Investor will not take or cause to be taken any action, including, without limitation, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, the purpose of which is or could be to give such Second Lien Investor any preference or priority against the First Lien Investors with respect to the Collateral. Each Investor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent, as the secured party under the Security Documents, shall have the sole right to exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any Investor (without limitation of the subordination provisions set forth above and the right of the Collateral Agent to exercise exclusive control over remedies against the Collateral) from taking or causing to be taken any action to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations owing to it under any Note or from waiving any default thereunder and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents with respect to the Lead Investor, no such action or waiver shall affect the rights of the other Investors against the Issuer.
