SECURITY AGREEMENT

This Security Agreement is dated as of December 30, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) and agreed to by and among TraQiQ, Inc., a California corporation (“Borrower”) and Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Noteholder”).

RECITALS

A. Borrower has assumed the secured indebtedness and other obligations of Renovare Environmental, Inc. (f/k/a BioHiTech Global, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Renovare”), BHT Financial, LLC a. Delaware limited liability company (“BHT Financial”), BioHiTech America, LLC a Delaware limited liability company (“BHT America”), BioHiTech Europe, PLC, a United Kingdom private limited company (“BHT UK”), E.N.A. Renewables, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ENA”), and New Windsor Resource Recovery, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“New Windsor,” and together with Renovare, BHT Financial, BHT America, BHT UK, and ENA, collectively, jointly and severally referred to herein as the “Renovare Companies” and each a “Renovare Company”) evidenced by the Senior Secured Term Note, dated February 2, 2018, made by the Renovare Companies payable to MCSFF in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 (as amended prior to the date hereof the “Existing Note”) and secured pursuant to the Note Purchase and Security Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2018, by the Renovare Companies with and in favor of Noteholder (the “Existing Note Purchase and Security Agreement”), as set forth in the Assumption Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Borrower and Noteholder, as acknowledged and agreed to by the Renovare Companies (the “Assumption Agreement”).

B. After giving effect to the assumption of such obligations by Borrower, Borrower has requested that Noteholder agree to amend and restate the Existing Note and continue to allow such indebtedness to remain outstanding as assumed by Borrower and Noteholder is willing to do so.

C. Pursuant to the foregoing, Borrower has issued to Noteholder the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Term Note, dated as of the date hereof, made by Borrower payable to Noteholder in the original principal amount of $3,017,089.84 (the “Note”) to amend and restate the terms and conditions of the Existing Note, which as so amended and restated is replaced and superseded by the Note (provided, that, the Renovare Companies continue to be jointly and severally liable in respect of the indebtedness assumed by Borrower and evidenced by the Note pursuant to the Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by the Renovare Companies in favor of Noteholder).

D. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them set forth above or in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Schedule A shall govern. All schedules, attachments, addenda and exhibits hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together with this Agreement, constitute but a single agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Note.

1.1 Note. On or prior to the date hereof, Borrower shall have issued the Note payable to Noteholder in the original principal amount of $3,017,089.84.

1.2 Payment of Principal.

(a) Borrower shall repay the Note in in five installments, with the first four installments each in the amount of $250,000 payable on each of January 31, 2023, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 and with the last installment in the total remaining principal balance of the Obligations on December 31, 2023. Any partial payments shall be applied to installments of principal last falling due. No partial prepayment shall postpone or interrupt payments of interest or the payment of the remaining principal balance, all of which shall continue to be due and payable at the time and the manner set forth above.

(b) Upon the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Noteholder in full, in cash: (i) all outstanding principal under the Note and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon; and (ii) all other non-contingent Obligations due to or incurred by Noteholder.

1.3 Interest.

(a) Borrower shall pay to Noteholder interest from the date of this Agreement on the unpaid principal balance of the Note at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum computed on the basis of thirty (30) days per month and a year of 360 days. Any interest that is not paid when due shall itself earn interest at the rate provided herein until the same has been paid in full. All references to the “Contract Rate” in the Note or any of the other Noteholder Documents shall be deemed to be twelve percent (12%) per annum.

(b) If a payment is made for a partial month, interest shall be calculated based upon the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest or fee is payable. In no event will Noteholder charge interest at a rate that exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable.

(c) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal amount under the Note (i) in advance for the succeeding calendar month on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, except that the interest payment otherwise due on January 1, 2023 shall be due and payable on January 31, 2023, (ii) on the Maturity Date, and (iii) if any interest accrues or remains payable after the Maturity Date, upon demand by Noteholder.

(d) If any interest or any other payment to Noteholder under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Noteholder Documents becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

(e) If a payment made to Noteholder hereunder or under any other Noteholder Document would be subject to withholding tax imposed by FATCA if Noteholder fails to comply with applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA, Noteholder shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by Borrower, (i) two accurate, complete and signed certifications prescribed by applicable law or reasonably satisfactory to Borrower that establish that such payment is exempt from withholding tax imposed by FATCA and (ii) any other documentation reasonably requested by Borrower sufficient for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Noteholder has complied with such applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA.

1.4 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) The Note, including the outstanding principal amount thereof, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other monetary Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in the event of: (i) the exercise by Noteholder of its remedies under Section 7.2(a) below in connection with an Event of Default; (ii) the Transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of Borrower’s assets (which for this purpose shall not include the Stock of Borrower in the Indian Subsidiaries); or (iii) a Change of Control, (each, a “Mandatory Prepayment Event”). Borrower shall deliver to Noteholder written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence of a Mandatory Prepayment Event described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above, which such notice shall describe the Mandatory Prepayment Event in detail.

(b) In addition, within one Business Day of the date of incurrence by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness permitted under Section 5(b)(vi) or the issuance or sale by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Stock for cash or cash equivalents in each case after the Effective Date (which would not include converting any Indebtedness to Stock and excluding the sale of the existing Stock of the Indian Subsidiaries for $1.00 or less), Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of such Indebtedness or from the issuance or sale of Stock, provided, that, without limitation of the right of Noteholder to receive any mandatory prepayment hereunder, in the event that the aggregate amount of such Indebtedness plus the amount of the consideration received by Borrower from the issuance or sale of Stock at any time equals or exceeds $1,000,000, the aggregate amount of the mandatory prepayments made to Noteholder pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) shall be not less than $250,000 (the “Minimum Prepayment Amount”), such that at the time of the incurrence of the Indebtedness and/or issuance or sale of Stock that causes the aggregate amounts thereof to equal or exceed $1,000,000, Borrower shall make an additional mandatory prepayment in such amount as is required so that the aggregate amount of the mandatory prepayments hereunder received by Noteholder after giving effect to such Indebtedness or issuance and sale, as the case may be, is not less than the Minimum Prepayment Amount. Any mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) shall be applied to the next installment(s) of principal of the Obligations to be due at the time of the prepayment.

1.5 Optional Prepayments. Upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written irrevocable notice to Noteholder, Borrower may elect to prepay, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount under the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount to the date of prepayment, as well as all of the other monetary Obligations that are payable with respect thereto. No prepaid amount may be reborrowed.

1.6 Amendment and Consent Fee. In consideration of the consent of Noteholder to the sale of assets by the Renovare Companies to Borrower and to the assumption of the Obligations by Borrower and the other transactions contemplated in the Assumption Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Noteholder, without limitation of any rights of Noteholder with respect to any other late payment charge or other fees, a fee in the amount of $50,000 that shall be due and payable in full on January 31, 2023. The failure to make such payment shall constitute an Event of Default, without any grace or cure period.

1.7 Receipt of Payments. Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement (not otherwise made pursuant to Section 1.10) without set-off, counterclaim or deduction and free and clear of all Taxes not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Noteholder or otherwise as directed by Noteholder. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from any payment to Noteholder under any Noteholder Document, then the amount payable to Noteholder shall be increased so that, after making all required deductions, Noteholder receives an amount equal to that which it would have received had no such deductions been made.

1.8 Application and Allocation of Payments. Except as set forth in Sections 1.2 and 1.4 above, Borrower irrevocably agrees that Noteholder shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all payments against the then due and payable Obligations in such order as Noteholder may deem advisable. Noteholder is authorized to, and at its option may (without prior notice or precondition and at any time or times), but shall not be obligated to, make or cause to be made advances of cash on behalf of Borrower for: (a) payment of all Fees, expenses, indemnities, charges, costs, principal, interest, or other Obligations owing by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Noteholder Documents, (b) the payment, performance or satisfaction of any of Borrower’s obligations with respect to preservation of the Collateral, or (c) any premium in whole or in part required in respect of any of the policies of insurance required by this Agreement, and Borrower agrees to repay immediately, in cash, any such amount so advanced by Noteholder.

1.9 Accounting. Noteholder is authorized to record on its books and records the date and amount of the Note and each payment of principal and interest thereof and such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded absent manifest error. Upon request, Noteholder shall provide Borrower on a monthly basis a statement and accounting of such recordations but any failure on the part of Noteholder to keep any such recordation (or any errors therein) or to send a statement thereof to Borrower shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay any of the Obligations. Except to the extent that Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after such statement and accounting is sent, notify Noteholder in writing of any objection Borrower may have thereto (stating with particularity the basis for such objection), such statement and accounting shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower, absent manifest error.

1.10 Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Noteholder and its Affiliates, and their respective employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Noteholder Documents or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement and the other Noteholder Documents or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, including any and all product liabilities, Environmental Liabilities, Taxes and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Noteholder Documents (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”), except to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTEHOLDER DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

(d) such other documents relating to the transactions contemplated hereby as Noteholder may reasonably request, which such documents shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Noteholder.

3. Representations, Warranties and Affirmative Covenants. To induce Noteholder to enter into this Agreement, Borrower represents and warrants to Noteholder (each of which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement), and promise to and agree with Noteholder until the Termination Date as follows:

3.1 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.

3.5 Payment of Obligations. Borrower will pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all of its Charges and other obligations of whatever nature, except where the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of Borrower and none of the Collateral is or could reasonably be expected to become subject to any Lien or forfeiture or loss as a result of such contest.

No information contained in any Noteholder Document, the Financial Statements, Projections or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of Borrower under any Noteholder Document, or to induce Noteholder to execute the Noteholder Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. There is no fact which has, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

3.7 Deposit and Disbursement Accounts. Promptly upon the request of Noteholder, Borrower shall provide to Noteholder a list of all banks and other financial institutions at which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries maintains deposits and/or other accounts, and such Schedule correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each such depository, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number.

(a) As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Noteholder a security interest in and Lien upon all of its personal property, tangible or intangible, and whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or in which it now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title, or interest, including all of the following personal property in which it now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest: all Accounts; all Deposit Accounts, all other bank accounts and all funds on deposit therein; all money, cash and cash equivalents; all Investment Property; all Stock; all Goods (including Inventory, Equipment and Fixtures); all operational leases, all Chattel Paper, Documents and Instruments; all Books and Records; all General Intangibles (including all Intellectual Property, contract rights, choses in action, Payment Intangibles and Software); all Letter-of-Credit Rights; all Supporting Obligations; and to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, tort claims, insurance claims and other rights to payment not otherwise included in the foregoing and products of all and any of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents and profits of, each of the foregoing, but excluding in all events Hazardous Waste (all of the foregoing, together with any other collateral pledged to Noteholder, pursuant to any other Noteholder Document, collectively, the “Collateral”).

(b) Borrower agrees that this Agreement creates, and is intended to create, valid and continuing Liens upon the Collateral in favor of Noteholder. Borrower represents, warrants and promises to Noteholder that: (i) Borrower has rights in and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien pursuant to the Noteholder Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others, other than Permitted Encumbrances; (ii) the security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement, upon completion of the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (other than (i) in respect of motor vehicles that are subject to a certificate of title, (ii) letter-of-credit rights (other than supporting obligations), (iii) commercial tort claims, (iv) any deposit accounts and securities accounts not subject to a Blocked Account Agreement, and (v) copyrights registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of Noteholder as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against any and all creditors of and purchasers from Borrower (other than purchasers of Inventory in the ordinary course of business) and such security interests are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Permitted Encumbrances that have priority by operation of law or are permitted under clause (j)(ii) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances, with the consent of Noteholder; and (iii) no effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or Lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral is or will be on file or of record in any public office, except those relating to Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower promises to defend the right, title and interest of Noteholder in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, and each shall take such actions, including (A) all actions necessary to grant Noteholder “control” of any Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights or electronic Chattel Paper owned by Borrower, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance satisfactory to Noteholder, (B) the prompt delivery of all original Instruments, Chattel Paper, negotiable Documents and certificated Stock owned by Borrower (in each case, accompanied by stock powers, allonges or other instruments of transfer executed in blank), (C) notification of Noteholder’s interest in Collateral at Noteholder’s request, and (D) the institution of litigation against third parties as shall be prudent in order to protect and preserve Borrower’s and Noteholder’s respective and several interests in the Collateral. Borrower shall mark its Books and Records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence the Noteholder Documents and the Liens granted under the Noteholder Documents. If Borrower retains possession of any Chattel Paper or Instrument with Noteholder’s consent, promptly upon Noteholder’s request, such Chattel Paper and Instruments shall be marked with the following legend: “This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund II, L.P.” Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the same is acquired by it, notify Noteholder of any commercial tort claims (as defined in the Code) acquired by it and unless otherwise consented by Noteholder, Borrower shall enter into a supplement to this Agreement granting to Noteholder a Lien in such commercial tort claim.

6.2 Noteholder’s Rights.

(a) Noteholder may, (i) at any time in Noteholder’s own name or in the name of Borrower, communicate with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts, and obligors in respect of Instruments, Chattel Paper or other Collateral to verify to Noteholder’s satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Payment Intangibles, Instruments, Chattel Paper or other Collateral, and (ii) at any time after a Default has occurred and is continuing and without prior notice to Borrower, notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral that Noteholder has a security interest therein and that payments shall be made directly to Noteholder. Upon the request of Noteholder, Borrower shall so notify such Account Debtors, parties to Contracts, and obligors in respect of Instruments, Chattel Paper or other Collateral. Borrower hereby constitutes Noteholder or Noteholder’s designee as Borrower’s attorney with power to endorse Borrower’s name upon any notes, acceptance drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral.

(b) Borrower shall remain liable under each Contract, Instrument and License to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by them thereunder, and Noteholder shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever to any Person under any Contract, Instrument or License (between Borrower and any Person other than Noteholder) by reason of or arising out of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, and Noteholder shall not be required or obligated in any manner (i) to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Borrower, (ii) to make any payment or inquiry, or (iii) to take any action of any kind to collect, compromise or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times under or pursuant to any Contract, Instrument or License.

(c) Borrower shall, with respect to each owned, leased, or controlled property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be required and Noteholder shall have access at any and all times): (i) provide access to such property to Noteholder and any of its officers, employees and agents, as frequently as Noteholder determines to be appropriate; (ii) permit Noteholder and any of its officers, employees and agents to inspect, audit and make extracts and copies from all of Borrower’s Books and Records; and (iii) permit Noteholder to inspect, review, evaluate and make physical verifications and appraisals of the Inventory and other Collateral in any manner and through any medium that Noteholder considers advisable, and Borrower agrees to render to Noteholder, at Borrower’s cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto.

(d) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower, at its own expense, shall cause the certified public accountant then engaged by Borrower to prepare and deliver to Noteholder at any time and from time to time, promptly upon Noteholder’s request, the following reports: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) test verifications of such Accounts as Noteholder may request. Borrower, at its own expense, shall cause its certified independent public accountants to deliver to Noteholder the results of any physical verifications of all or any portion of the Inventory made or observed by such accountants when and if such verification is conducted. Noteholder shall be permitted to observe and consult with Borrower’s accountants in the performance of these tasks.

6.3 Noteholder’s Appointment as Attorney-in-fact. On the Effective Date, Borrower shall execute and deliver a Power of Attorney in form and substance satisfactory to Noteholder. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney and all powers granted under any Noteholder Document are powers coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date. The powers conferred on Noteholder under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Noteholder’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Noteholder agrees not to exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Borrower also hereby (i) authorizes Noteholder to file any financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto that (A) indicate the Collateral (1) as all personal property assets of Borrower (or any portion of Borrower’s assets) or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Code of such jurisdiction, or (2) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (B) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment and (ii) ratifies its authorization for Noteholder to have filed any initial financial statements, or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. Borrower acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of Noteholder and agrees that they will not do so without the prior written consent of Noteholder, subject to Borrower’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.

6.4 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property Collateral

. Borrower hereby grants to Noteholder an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to Borrower) to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that such license will terminate on the Termination Date.

7. Events of Default: Rights and Remedies.

7.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (regardless of the reason therefor) shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder which shall be deemed to be continuing until waived in writing by Noteholder in accordance with Section 10.3:

(c) an event of default shall occur under any Contractual Obligation of Borrower (other than this Agreement and the other Noteholder Documents), and such event of default (i) involves the failure to make any payment (whether or not such payment is blocked pursuant to the terms of an intercreditor agreement or otherwise), whether of principal, interest or otherwise, and whether due by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise, in respect of any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) of such Person in an aggregate amount exceeding the Minimum Actionable Amount, or (ii) causes (or permits any holder of such Indebtedness or a trustee to cause) such Indebtedness, or a portion thereof, in an aggregate amount exceeding the Minimum Actionable Amount to become due prior to its stated maturity or prior to its regularly scheduled date of payment; or

(f) a case or proceeding shall have been commenced involuntarily against Borrower in a court having competent jurisdiction seeking a decree or order: (i) under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or other similar law, and seeking either (A) the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) for such Person or of any substantial part of its properties, or (B) the reorganization or winding up or liquidation of the affairs of any such Person, and such case or proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) consecutive days or such court shall enter a decree or order granting the relief sought in such case or proceeding; or (ii) invalidating or denying any Person’s right, power, or competence to enter into or perform any of its obligations under any Noteholder Document or invalidating or denying the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Noteholder Document or any action taken hereunder or thereunder; or

(g) Borrower shall (i) commence any case, proceeding or other action under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, conservatorship or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it or seeking appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) for it or any substantial part of its properties, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) consent to or take any action in furtherance of, or, indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in paragraphs (e) or (f) of this Section 7.1 or clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (g), or (iv) shall admit in writing its inability to, or shall be generally unable to, pay its debts as such debts become due; or

(i) any provision of any Noteholder Document shall for any reason cease to be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms, or any Lien granted, or intended by the Noteholder Documents to be granted, to Noteholder shall cease to be a valid and perfected Lien having the first priority (or a lesser priority if expressly permitted in the Noteholder Documents) in any of the Collateral (or Borrower shall so assert any of the foregoing); or

(j) a Change of Control shall have occurred with respect to Borrower; or

(k) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of Noteholder, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred and are then continuing, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of Borrower in an aggregate amount exceeding the Minimum Actionable Amount.

7.2 Remedies.

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Noteholder may, without additional notice, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such Obligations shall become and be due and payable in accordance with Sections 1.4; or (ii) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Noteholder under the Noteholder Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 7.1(e), (f), or (g), the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without declaration, notice or demand by Noteholder.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower expressly agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Noteholder may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Noteholder shall have the right upon any such public sale, to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of Noteholder the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity of redemption, which right Borrower hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned, or continued from time to time with or without notice. Noteholder shall have the right to conduct such sales on Borrower’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use Borrower’s premises without rent or other charge for such sales or other action with respect to the Collateral for such time as Noteholder deems necessary or advisable.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at Noteholder’s request, Borrower agrees, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Noteholder at places within the Eastern United States that Noteholder shall reasonably select, whether at its premises or elsewhere. Until Noteholder is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, Noteholder shall have the right to complete, assemble, use or operate the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent that Noteholder deems appropriate, for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or its value or for any other purpose. Noteholder shall have no obligation to Borrower to maintain or preserve the rights of Borrower as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Noteholder. Noteholder may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Noteholder’s remedies with respect thereto without prior notice or hearing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages, and demands against Noteholder, its Affiliates, agents, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. Borrower agrees that ten (10) days’ prior notice by Noteholder to Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Noteholder is entitled.

(d) Noteholder’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Noteholder may have under any Noteholder Document or at law or in equity. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required. All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited, to the extent necessary, so that they do not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

7.3 Waivers by Borrower. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Noteholder Documents, the Note or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts, Contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Noteholder on which Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Noteholder may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Noteholder’s taking possession or control of, or to Noteholder’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Noteholder to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Noteholder Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

7.4 Proceeds. The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon any Collateral shall be applied by Noteholder upon receipt to the Obligations in such order as Noteholder may deem advisable in its sole discretion, and after the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Noteholder of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Sections 9-608(a)(1) and 9-615(a)(3) of the Code (but only after Noteholder has received what Noteholder considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Borrower or its representatives or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

8. Reserved.

9. Successors and Assigns. Each Noteholder Document shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower, Noteholder, and its respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise provided herein or therein. Borrower may not assign, transfer, hypothecate, delegate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties under any Noteholder Document without the prior express written consent of Noteholder. Any such purported conveyance by Borrower without the prior express written consent of Noteholder shall be void. There shall be no third-party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of any of the Noteholder Documents. Noteholder reserves the right at any time to create and sell participations in the Note and the other Noteholder Documents and to sell, transfer or assign any or all of its rights in the Note and under the Noteholder Documents.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement and the other Noteholder Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements, commitments, understandings or inducements (oral or written, expressed or implied). No Noteholder Document may be modified, altered or amended except by a written agreement signed by Noteholder and Borrower a party to such Noteholder Document. Borrower shall have all duties and obligations under this Agreement and such other Noteholder Documents from the date of its execution and delivery. This Agreement and the other Noteholder Documents are the result of negotiations among and have been reviewed by counsel to Noteholder and the other parties, and are the products of all parties. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Noteholder Documents shall not be construed against Noteholder merely because of Noteholder’s involvement in their preparation.

10.2 Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Noteholder for all reasonable, documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of all counsel, advisors, consultants (including environmental and management consultants) and auditors retained in connection therewith), incurred in connection with: (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Noteholder Documents and the preservation of any rights thereunder (provided, however, that reimbursement of legal fees incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Noteholder Documents shall be capped at $50,000); (b) collection including deficiency collections; (c) the forwarding to Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower by Noteholder of the proceeds of the Note (including a wire transfer fee of $50 per wire transfer); (d) any amendment, waiver or other modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to any Noteholder Document or advice in connection with the administration of the Note or the rights thereunder; (e) any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or between any combination of Noteholder, Borrower or any other Person), and an appeal or review thereof, in any way relating to the Collateral, any Noteholder Document, or any action taken or any other agreements to be executed or delivered in connection therewith, whether as a party, witness or otherwise; and (f) any effort (i) to monitor the Note, (ii) to evaluate, observe or assess Borrower or the affairs of such Person, and (iii) to verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral.

10.3 No Waiver. Neither Noteholder’s failure, at any time, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of any Noteholder Document, nor Noteholder’s failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof or waive, affect or diminish any right of Noteholder thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any suspension or waiver of a Default or other provision under the Noteholder Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or other provision under any Noteholder Document, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Noteholder would otherwise have had on any future occasion. None of the undertakings, indemnities, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrower to Noteholder contained in any Noteholder Document and no Default by Borrower under any Noteholder Document shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Noteholder, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer or other authorized employee of Noteholder and directed to Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver (and then such waiver shall be effective only to the extent therein expressly set forth), and Noteholder shall not, by any act (other than execution of a formal written waiver), delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder.

10.4 Severability; Section Titles. Wherever possible, each provision of the Noteholder Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of any Noteholder Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of such Noteholder Document. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Noteholder Documents, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any financing arrangement under the Noteholder Documents shall in any way affect or impair the Obligations, duties, covenants, representations and warranties, indemnities, and liabilities of Borrower or the rights of Noteholder relating to any unpaid Obligation, (due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated), or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, all of which shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that all indemnity obligations of the Credit Parties under the Noteholder Documents shall survive the Termination Date. The Section titles contained in any Noteholder Document are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties thereto.

10.5 Authorized Signature. Until Noteholder shall be notified in writing by Borrower to the contrary, the signature upon any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto and believed by Noteholder or any of Noteholder’s officers, agents, or employees to be that of an officer of Borrower shall bind Borrower and be deemed to be the act of Borrower affixed pursuant to and in accordance with resolutions duly adopted by Borrower’s Board of Directors, and Noteholder shall be entitled to assume the authority of each signature and authority of the person whose signature it is or appears to be unless the person acting in reliance thereon shall have actual knowledge to the contrary.

10.6 Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any notice, demand, request or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any party by any other party, or whenever any party desires to give or serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by telecopy or other similar facsimile transmission (with such telecopy or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 10.6), (c) when transmitted to an electronic mail address (or by another means of electronic delivery), upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written acknowledgment), (d) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (e) when hand-delivered, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number indicated in Schedule B or to such other address (or email address or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any such communication to any Person (other than Borrower or Noteholder) designated in Schedule B to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request or other communication.
