agrees and acknowledges that any third person who may at any time possess all or any portion of the Collateral shall be deemed to hold, and shall hold, the
Collateral as the agent of, and as pledge holder for, Secured Party. Secured Party may at any time give notice to any third person described in the preceding sentence that such third person is holding
the Collateral as the agent of, and as pledge holder for, the Secured Party. 




4.    INSURANCE.  



        (a)   Debtor
shall at all times bear the entire risk of any loss, theft, damage to, or destruction of, any of the Collateral from any cause whatsoever. 


        (b)   Debtor
agrees to keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by fire and extended coverage perils, theft, burglary, and for any or all Collateral which are
vehicles, for risk of loss by collision, and if requested by Secured Party, against such other risks as Secured Party may reasonably require. The insurance coverage shall be in an amount no less than
the full replacement value of the Collateral, and deductible amounts, insurers and policies shall be acceptable to Secured Party. Debtor shall deliver to Secured Party policies or certificates of
insurance evidencing such coverage. Each policy shall name Secured Party as a loss payee, shall provide for coverage to Secured Party regardless of the breach by Debtor of any warranty or
representation made therein, shall not be subject to co-insurance, and shall provide that coverage may not be canceled or altered by the insurer except upon thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Secured Party. Debtor appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact to make proof of loss, claim for insurance and adjustments with insurers, and to receive
payment of and execute or endorse all documents, checks or drafts in connection with insurance payments. Secured Party shall not act as Debtor's attorney-in-fact unless Debtor
is in default. Proceeds of insurance shall be applied, at the option of Secured Party, to repair or replace the Collateral or to reduce any of the Indebtedness. 




5.    REPORTS.  








        (a)   Debtor
shall promptly notify Secured Party of (i) any change in the name of Debtor, (ii) any change in the state of its incorporation, organization or
registration, (iii) any relocation of its chief executive offices, (iv) any relocation of any of the Collateral, (v) any of the Collateral being lost, stolen, missing, destroyed,
materially damaged or worn out, or (vi) any lien, claim or encumbrance other than Permitted Liens attaching to or being made against any of the Collateral. 


        (b)   Debtor
will deliver to Secured Party financial statements as follows. If Debtor is a privately held company, then Debtor agrees to provide monthly financial statements,
certified by Debtor's president or chief financial officer including a balance sheet, statement of operations and cash flow statement within 30 days of each month end and its complete audited
annual financial
statements, certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants, within 120 days of fiscal year end or at such time as Debtor's Board of Directors receives the audit. If Debtor is a
publicly held company, then Debtor agrees to provide quarterly unaudited statements and annual audited statements, certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants, within 10 days
after the statements are provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All such statements are to be prepared using generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and, if Debtor is a
publicly held company, are to be in compliance with SEC requirements. 




6.    FURTHER ASSURANCES.  



        (a)   Debtor
shall, upon request of Secured Party, furnish to Secured Party such further information, execute and deliver to Secured Party such documents and instruments
(including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) and shall do such other acts and things as Secured Party may at any time reasonably request relating to the perfection or
protection of the security interest created by this Agreement or for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Debtor shall cooperate and do all acts
deemed necessary or advisable by Secured Party to continue in Secured Party a perfected first security interest in the Collateral, and shall obtain and furnish to Secured Party any subordinations,
releases, landlord waivers, lessor waivers, mortgagee waivers, or control agreements, and similar documents as may be from time to time requested by, and in form and substance satisfactory to, Secured
Party. 


        (b)   Debtor
authorizes Secured Party to file a financing statement and amendments thereto describing the Collateral and containing any other information required by
the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. Debtor irrevocably grants to Secured Party the power to sign Debtor's name and generally to act on behalf of Debtor to execute and file applications for title,
transfers of title, financing statements, notices of lien and other documents pertaining to any or all of the Collateral; this power is coupled with Secured Party's interest in the Collateral. Debtor
shall, if any certificate of title be required or permitted by law for any of the Collateral, obtain and promptly deliver to Secured Party such certificate showing the lien of this Agreement with
respect to the Collateral. Debtor ratifies its prior authorization for Secured Party to file financing statements and amendments thereto describing the Collateral and containing any other information
required by the Uniform Commercial Code if filed prior to the date hereof. 


        (c)   Debtor
shall indemnify and defend the Secured Party, its successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers and employees, from and against all claims,
actions and suits (including, without limitation, related attorneys' fees) of any kind whatsoever arising, directly or indirectly, in connection with any of the Collateral.

warranty, representation or statement made by Debtor in any of the Debt Documents or otherwise in connection with any of the Indebtedness shall be false or
misleading in any material respect; 











        (vi)  Any
of the Collateral is subjected to attachment, execution, levy, seizure or confiscation in any legal proceeding or otherwise, or if any legal or administrative
proceeding is commenced against Debtor or any of the Collateral, which in the good faith judgment of Secured Party subjects any of the Collateral to a material risk of attachment, execution, levy,
seizure or confiscation and no bond is posted or protective order obtained to negate such risk; 


        (vii) Debtor
breaches or is in default under any other agreement between Debtor and Secured Party; 



        (viii) Debtor
or any guarantor or other obligor for any of the Indebtedness (collectively "Guarantor") dissolves, terminates its existence, becomes insolvent or ceases to do

        (xiii) There
is a material adverse change in the Debtor's financial condition as determined solely by Secured Party; 



        (xiv) Any
Guarantor revokes or attempts to revoke its guaranty of any of the Indebtedness or fails to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be performed
under any guaranty or other related document to which it is a party; 


        (xv) Debtor
defaults under any other material obligation for (A) borrowed money, (B) the deferred purchase price of property or (C) payments due under
any lease agreement; or 


        (xvi) At
any time during the term of this Agreement Debtor experiences a change of control such that any person or entity acquires either more than 50% or the voting stock
of Debtor or all or substantially all of Debtor's assets, in either case, without Secured Party's prior written consent. 




        (b)   If
Debtor is in default, the Secured Party, at its option, may declare any or all of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without demand or notice to

of the Collateral, applying proceeds from such disposition to the obligations then in default. If requested by Secured Party, Debtor shall promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to
Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Secured Party may also render any or all of the Collateral unusable at the Debtor's premises
and may dispose of such Collateral on such premises without liability for rent or costs. Any notice that Secured Party is required to give to Debtor under the Uniform Commercial Code of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to constitute reasonable notice if such notice is given
to the last known address of Debtor at least five (5) days prior to such action. 



        (d)   Proceeds
from any sale or lease or other disposition shall be applied: first, to all costs of repossession, storage, and disposition including without limitation

endorser, guarantor, surety or indemnitor; fourth, to expenses incurred in paying or settling liens and claims against the Collateral; and lastly, to Debtor, if there exists any surplus. Debtor shall
remain fully liable for any deficiency. 


        (e)   Debtor
agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred by Secured Party in connection with the enforcement, assertion, defense or preservation of
Secured Party's rights and remedies under this Agreement, or if prohibited by law, such lesser sum as may be permitted. Debtor further agrees that such fees and costs shall constitute Indebtedness. 


        (f)    Secured
Party's rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise arising are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Neither the failure nor any
delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or privilege. SECURED PARTY 









SHALL
NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR PAPER SIGNED BY DEBTOR UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS EXPRESSED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY
SECURED PARTY. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. 


        (g)   DEBTOR
AND SECURED PARTY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER
DEBT DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE
RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT. THIS WAIVER
IS IRREVOCABLE. THIS WAIVER MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING. THE WAIVER ALSO SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY
OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION. THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 




8.    MISCELLANEOUS.  



        (a)   This
Agreement, any Note and/or any of the other Debt Documents may be assigned, in whole or in part, by Secured Party without notice to Debtor, and Debtor agrees not to
assert against any such assignee, or assignee's assigns, any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim which Debtor has or may at any time have against Secured Party for any
reason whatsoever. Debtor agrees that if Debtor receives written notice of an assignment from Secured Party, Debtor will pay all amounts payable under any assigned Debt Documents to such assignee or
as instructed by Secured Party. Debtor also agrees to confirm in writing receipt of the notice of assignment as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party or assignee. 


        (b)   All
notices to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth in this
Agreement (unless and until a different address may be specified in a written notice to the other party), and shall be deemed given (i) on the date of receipt if delivered in hand or by
facsimile transmission, (ii) on the next business day after being sent by express mail, and (iii) on the fourth business day after being sent by regular, registered or certified mail. As
used herein, the term "business day" shall mean and include any day other than Saturdays, Sundays, or other days on which commercial banks in New York, New York are required or authorized to be
closed. 


        (c)   Secured
Party may correct patent errors and fill in all blanks in this Agreement or in any Collateral Schedule consistent with the agreement of the parties. 


        (d)   Time
is of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding, jointly and severally, upon all parties described as the "Debtor" and their respective heirs,
executors, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and assigns. 



        (e)   This
Agreement and its Collateral Schedules constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all
prior understandings (whether written, verbal or implied) with respect to such subject matter. THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS COLLATERAL SCHEDULES SHALL NOT BE CHANGED OR TERMINATED ORALLY OR BY COURSE OF
CONDUCT, BUT ONLY BY A WRITING SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES. Section headings contained in this Agreement have been included for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of
this Agreement. 


        (f)    This
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full to Secured Party or its assignee. The surrender,
upon payment or otherwise, of any Note or any of the other documents evidencing any of the Indebtedness shall not affect the right of Secured Party to retain the Collateral for such other Indebtedness
as may then exist or as it may be reasonably contemplated will exist in the future. This Agreement shall automatically be reinstated if Secured Party is ever required to return or restore the payment
of all or any portion of the Indebtedness (all as though such payment had never been made). 


        (g)   Debtor
authorizes Secured Party to use its name, logo and/or trademark without notice to or consent by Debtor, in connection with certain promotional materials that
Secured Party may disseminate to the public. The promotional materials may include, but are not limited to, brochures, video tape, internet website, press releases, advertising in newspaper and/or
other periodicals, lucites, and any other materials relating the fact that Secured Party has a financing relationship with Debtor and such materials may be developed, disseminated and used without
Debtor's review. Nothing herein obligates Secured Party to use Debtor's name, logo and/or trademark, in any promotional materials of Secured Party. 


        (h)   THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF CONNECTICUT (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE), INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL. 









        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Debtor and Secured Party, intending to be legally bound hereby, have duly executed this Agreement in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, as of the day and year first aforesaid.

    ADDENDUM NO. 001
  
    TO MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT
  
    DATED AS OF MAY 19, 2006    
    



        THIS ADDENDUM NO. 001 (this "Addendum No. 001") is made as
of the 19th day of May, amends and supplements the above referenced agreement (the "Agreement"), between General Electric
Capital Corporation (together with its successors and assigns, if any, "Secured Party") and Alphatec
Spine, Inc. ("Debtor") and is hereby incorporated into the Agreement as though fully set forth therein. Capitalized terms
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease. 


        The
Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following: 



 FINANCIAL COVENANTS.  




        "(a) Debtor shall, at all times during the term of the Agreement, comply with the following: 



        (i)    Maintain
profitability by not allowing any two consecutive quarterly losses, commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2006. 



        (ii)   A
minimum net profit after tax of at least $500,000.00 at fiscal year end 2006 and $1,000,000.00 at fiscal year end 2007 and at each fiscal year end thereafter. 


        (iii)  A
ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA for the immediately preceding three fiscal quarters and the current quarter just ended of not more than 2.75 to 1.00 at the end of
each fiscal quarter, commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2006. 


        (iv)  A
ratio of Debt to Effective Tangible Net Worth of not more than 7.50 to 1.00 at December, 31, 2006 and 3.00 to 1.00 at December 31, 2007 and 3.00 to 1.00
quarterly thereafter. 




        The
above Financial Covenants mirror covenants in the Credit Agreement between Debtor and Bank of the West and will be calculated according to the Bank of the West's method(s) for
calculating compliance. Secured Party agrees that if Bank of the West changes, deletes or adds to the Financial Covenants (as defined collectively as Financial Condition in the Bank of the West Credit
Agreement), or agrees to waive one or more of the Financial Covenants for any period of time, Secured Party will promptly follow Bank of the West's action(s) accordingly. 



        All
financial items in the preceding paragraph shall be derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). 








        (b)   COMPLIANCE REPORTS.    Concurrently with the delivery of the quarterly and fiscal year end financial reports
required hereunder, a compliance certificate stating that the Debtor is in compliance with all covenants contained herein and that no Event of Default or potential Event of Default has occurred or is

Section of the Agreement. 


        Except
as expressly modified hereby, all terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Addendum No.001 is not binding or effective with respect to the
Agreement until executed on behalf of Secured Party and Debtor by authorized representatives of Secured Party and Debtor. 



        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Debtor and Secured Party have caused this Addendum No. 001 to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as
of the date first above written.
