-12-



 days' notice to each Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that each Grantor may have to require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof.

(b) Any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof) by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Secured Party and remaining after the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

-13-



(c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, each Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in the Convertible Debenture for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

(d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Secured Party complies with any applicable state, provincial, or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.

(e) The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Secured Party's rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

Secured Party may, but shall not be required to, perform any or all of such obligations of any Grantor under any of the License Agreements, including, but not limited to, the payment of any or all sums due from any Grantor thereunder.

ARTICLE 7.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS

 

So long as any of the Obligations shall remain outstanding, unless the Secured Party shall otherwise consent in writing, each Grantor covenants and agrees that it shall not:

 7.1 Transfers; Liens and Encumbrances.

(a) Sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), lease, license, exchange or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Collateral, except each Grantor may (i) sell or dispose of Inventory in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) sell or dispose of assets such Grantor has determined, in good faith, not to be useful in the conduct of its business, and (iii) sell or dispose of accounts in the course of collection in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

-21-



(b) Directly or indirectly make, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien in, to or against any part of the Collateral other than Permitted Liens.

(c) Each Grantor covenants and agrees that they will not, without the express written consent of the Secured Party, grant any license (whether exclusive or non-exclusive) to use the Intellectual Property to any party other than another Grantor, except that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Grantor may, in the ordinary course of business, grant non-exclusive licenses to use the Intellectual Property to unrelated third parties which are customers of any Grantor in connection with arms-length transactions, provided that such non-exclusive licenses do not impair the value of the Intellectual Property.  To the extent that any Grantor wishes to seek the Secured Party's consent to the granting of a license to use Intellectual Property other than as expressly permitted above, then such Grantor shall provide the Secured Party with a written request for such consent, which request shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed license and any documents, instruments, and agreements related thereto or to be entered into in connection with such license, and such other information regarding the proposed license as the Secured Party may require.  The Secured Party shall endeavor to respond to such request within ten (10) days of its receipt of such request, provided, however, that if the Secured Party does not reply within such ten (10) day period, then such request shall be deemed to have been denied by the Secured Party.  Further, the Secured Party shall not have been deemed to have consented to any proposed license unless the Secured Party has provided such consent in a writing executed by a duly authorized representative of the Secured Party and delivered to such Grantor.  The decision by the Secured Party on whether to grant or withhold its consent to a proposed license shall be made by the Secured Party in its sole and exclusive discretion, and the Secured Party shall have no obligation whatsoever to consent to any proposed license.

-28-

Each Grantor hereby further acknowledge and agree that this provision is a material inducement to the Secured Party entering into this Agreement, and each Grantor has been represented by experienced counsel in connection with entering into this Agreement.

AS A FURTHER INDUCEMENT FOR THE SECURED PARTY TO MAKE FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS TO THE COMPANIES OR ANY GRANTOR, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION.
