      Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in
      the
      Intellectual Property securing the payment and performance of the Obligations

      represented thereby, and the Company hereby appoints the Secured Party its
      attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such writings for the foregoing
      purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such

      been fully satisfied and are paid in full.

     

    (g)  The
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not conflict with
      or
      cause a breach or default, or an event that with or without the passage of
      time
      or notice, shall constitute a breach or default, under any agreement to which
      the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound.  No consent
      (including, without limitation, from stock holders or creditors of the Company)
      is required for the Company to enter into and perform its obligations
      hereunder.

     

    (h)  The
      Company shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided

      the
      Secured Party promptly, in sufficient detail, of any substantial change in
      the

      a
      material adverse effect on the value of the Intellectual Property or on the
      Secured Party’s security interest therein.

     

    (k)  The
      Company shall permit the Secured Party and its representatives and agents to

      sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby
      any
      Trademark or Copyright may become invalidated;

     

    (ii)  not,
      except with respect to any Patent that it shall reasonably determine is of
      negligible economic value to it, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby
      any
      Patent may become abandoned or dedicated; and

     

    (iii)  notify
      the Secured Party immediately if it knows, or has reason to know, that any
      application or registration relating to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright
      may
      become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development
      (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination
      or
      development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
      United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country)
      regarding its ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right
      to
      register the same or to keep and maintain the same.

     

    (s)  Whenever
      the Company, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or
      designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Patent,
      Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
      United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other
      country or any political subdivision thereof or acquire rights to any new
      Patent, Trademark or Copyright whether or not registered, report such filing
      to
      the Secured Party within five business days after the last day of the fiscal
      quarter in which such filing occurs.

     

    (t)  The
      Company shall take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without
      limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark
      Office, United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any
      other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue
      each
      application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each
      registration of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, including, without
      limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits
      of incontestability.

     

    (u)  In
      the
      event that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright included in the Intellectual
      Property is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, promptly
      notify the Secured Party after it learns thereof and shall, unless it shall
      reasonably determine that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright is of negligible
      economic value to it, which determination it shall promptly report to the
      Secured Party, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution,
      to
      seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages
      for
      such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, or take such other actions
      as
      it shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
      Patent, Trademark or Copyright.  If the Company lacks the financial
      resources to comply with this Section 3(t), the Company shall so notify the
      Secured Party and shall cooperate fully with any enforcement action undertaken
      by the Secured Party on behalf of the Company.

    4.  Defaults.  The
      following events shall be “Events of
      Default”:

     

    (a)  The
      occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) under the
      Notes;

     

    (b)  Any
      representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement or in the Security
      Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when
      made;

     

    (c)  The
      failure by the Company to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder
      or
      in the Security Agreement for ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of
      notice of such failure from the Secured Party; and

     

    (d)  Any
      breach of, or default under, the Warrants.

     

    5.  Duty
      To Hold In
      Trust.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any
      time thereafter, the Company shall, upon receipt by it of any revenue, income
      or
      other sums subject to the Security Interest, whether payable pursuant to the
      Notes or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other
      instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust
      for the Secured Party and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums
      or
      instruments, or both, to the Secured Party for application to the satisfaction
      of the Obligations.

     

    6.  Rights
      and Remedies Upon
      Default.  Upon occurrence of any Event of Default and at any
      time thereafter, the Secured Party shall have the right to exercise all of
      the
      remedies conferred hereunder and under the Notes, and the Secured Party shall
      have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and/or any
      other applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction
      in which any Intellectual Property is then located).  Without
      limitation, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and
      powers:

     

    (a)  The
      Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Intellectual
      Property and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any
      person, any premises where the Intellectual Property, or any part thereof,
      is or
      may be placed and remove the same, and the Company shall assemble the
      Intellectual Property and make it available to the Secured Party at places
      which
      the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at the Company’s premises or
      elsewhere, and make available to the Secured Party, without rent, all of the
      Company’s respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured
      Party taking possession of, removing or putting the Intellectual Property in
      saleable or disposable form.

     

    (b)  The
      Secured Party shall have the right to operate the business of the Company using
      the Intellectual Property and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or
      otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Intellectual Property,
      at public or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special
      conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in
      such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places,
      and upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem commercially
      reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute
      and
      cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Company or
      right
      of redemption of the Company, which are hereby expressly waived.  Upon
      each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Intellectual Property,
      the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be
      waived, purchase all or any part of the Intellectual Property being sold, free
      from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities
      of
      the Company, which are hereby waived and released.

    7.  Applications
      of
      Proceeds.  The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other
      disposition of the Intellectual Property hereunder shall be applied first,
      to
      the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale,
      selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other
      costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Intellectual Property, to the
      reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in
      enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and
      disposing of the Intellectual Property, and then to satisfaction of the
      Obligations, and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable
      law,
      after which the Secured Party shall pay to the Company any surplus
      proceeds.  If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the
      Intellectual Property, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts
      to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Company will be liable
      for
      the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 15% per annum
      (the “Default
      Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured
      Party to collect such deficiency.  To the extent permitted by
      applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages and demands against
      the
      Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of
      the
      Intellectual Property, unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
      of the Secured Party.

     

    8.  Costs
      and
      Expenses.     The Company agrees to pay all
      out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing
      required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements,
      continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related
      thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured
      Party.  The Company shall also pay all other claims and charges which
      in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party might prejudice, imperil or
      otherwise affect the Intellectual Property or the Security Interest
      therein.  The Company will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party
      the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees
      and
      expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party
      may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the
      custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other
      realization upon, any of the Intellectual Property, or (iii) the exercise or
      enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party under the Notes. Until
      so
      paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of
      the
      Notes and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

     

    9.  Responsibility
      for
      Intellectual Property.  The Company assumes all liabilities and
      responsibility in connection with all Intellectual Property, and the obligations
      of the Company hereunder or under the Notes and the Warrants shall in no way
      be
      affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft
      of
      any of the Intellectual Property or its unavailability for any
      reason.

     

    10.  Security
      Interest
      Absolute.  All rights of the Secured Party and all Obligations
      of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective
      of:
      (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, the
      Warrants or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or
      any
      portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of
      payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
      Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure
      from the Notes, the Warrants  or any other agreement entered into in
      connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of
      any
      of the Intellectual Property, or any release or amendment or waiver of or
      consent to departure from any other Intellectual Property for, or any guaranty,
      or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by
      the
      Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any
      insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Intellectual
      Property; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any
      legal or equitable defense available to the Company, or a discharge of all
      or
      any part of the Security Interest granted hereby.  Until the
      Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the
      Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason,
      including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or
      bankruptcy.  The Company expressly waives presentment, protest, notice
      of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the
      event that at any time any transfer of any Intellectual Property or any payment
      received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a
      court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent
      conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or
      shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Party,
      then, in any such event, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall survive
      cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by
      any
      prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain
      a
      valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and
      provisions hereof.  The Company waives all right to require the
      Secured Party to proceed against any other person or to apply any Intellectual
      Property which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets,
      or
      to pursue any other remedy.  The Company waives any defense arising by
      reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation
      secured hereby.

    11.  Term
      of
      Agreement.  This Agreement and the Security Interest shall
      terminate on the date on which all amounts outstanding under the Notes are
      no
      longer outstanding and all other Obligations have been paid or
      discharged.  Upon such termination, the Secured Party, at the request
      and at the expense of the Company, will join in executing any termination
      statement with respect to any financing statement executed and filed pursuant
      to
      this Agreement.

     

    12.  Power
      of Attorney; Further
      Assurances.

     

    (a)  The
      Company authorizes the Secured Party, and does hereby make, constitute and
      appoint it, and its respective officers, agents, successors or assigns with
      full
      power of substitution, as the Company’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with
      power, in its own name or in the name of the Company, to, after the occurrence
      and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any notes,
      checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including
      payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect
      of
      the Intellectual Property that may come into possession of the Secured Party;
      (ii) to sign and endorse any UCC financing statement or any invoice, freight
      or
      express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against
      debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts,
      and
      other documents relating to the Intellectual Property; (iii) to pay or discharge
      taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or
      placed on or threatened against the Intellectual Property; (iv) to demand,
      collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for monies due in respect
      of
      the Intellectual Property; and (v) generally, to do, at the option of the
      Secured Party, and at the Company’s expense, at any time, or from time to time,
      all acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve
      and realize upon the Intellectual Property and the Security Interest granted
      therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, the Notes and the
      Warrants, all as fully and effectually as the Company might or could do; and
      the
      Company hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to
      be
      done by virtue hereof.  This power of attorney is coupled with an
      interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter
      as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.

     

    (b)  On
      a
      continuing basis, the Company will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file
      and
      record, as the case may be, in the proper filing and recording places in any
      jurisdiction, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably
      be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the Secured
      Party, to perfect the Security Interest granted hereunder and otherwise to
      carry
      out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming
      to
      the Secured Party the grant or perfection of a security interest in all the
      Intellectual Property.

     

    (c)  The
      Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as the Company’s
      attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Company
      and
      in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Secured Party’s discretion,
      to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured Party may
      deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
      including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more financing or
      continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the
      Intellectual Property without the signature of the Company where permitted
      by
      law.

     

    13.  Notices.  All
      notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in

    14.  Other
      Security.  To the extent that the Obligations are now or
      hereafter secured by property other than the Intellectual Property or by the
      guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or
      other entity, then the Secured Party shall have the right, in its sole
      discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action
      with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of the
      Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder.

    15.  Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)  No
      course
      of dealing between the Company and the Secured Party, nor any failure to
      exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any
      right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes shall operate as a waiver
      thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
      privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
      or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

     

    (b)  All
      of
      the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Intellectual
      Property, whether established hereby or by the Notes or by any other agreements,
      instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised
      singly or concurrently.

     

    (c)  This
      Agreement and the Security Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the
      parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and is intended to supersede
      all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements with respect
      thereto.  Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
      provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended except by a written
      agreement specifically referring to this Agreement and signed by the parties
      hereto.

     

    (d)  In
      the
      event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited
      or
      unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless such provision is
      narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement shall, as to such
      jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
      provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited
      or
      unenforceable.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of
      this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any
      jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective
      to
      the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without
      invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions
      of
      this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such
      provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other
      jurisdiction.

     

    (e)  No
      waiver
      of any breach or default or any right under this Agreement shall be considered
      valid unless in writing and signed by the party giving such waiver, and no
      such
      waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or right,
      whether of the same or similar nature or otherwise.

     

    (f)  This
      Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto
      and its successors and assigns.

     

    (g)  Each
      party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further
      documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the
      provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

     

    (h)  This
      Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
      York, except to the extent the validity, perfection or enforcement of a security
      interest hereunder in respect of any particular Intellectual Property which
      are
      governed by a jurisdiction other than the State of New York in which case such
      law shall govern.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submit to
      the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court
      sitting in Manhattan county over any action or proceeding arising out of or
      relating to this Agreement, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree
      that
      all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
      in such New York State or Federal court.  The parties hereto agree
      that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
      and
      may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
      manner provided by law.  The parties hereto further waive any
      objection to venue in the State of New York and any objection to an action
      or
      proceeding in the State of New York on the basis of forum non
      conveniens.

    (i)  EACH
      PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRAIL OF
      ANY
      CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
      AGREEMENT.  THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL
      ENCOMPASSING OF ANY DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE
      TO
      THE SUBJECT MATER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CONTRACT
      CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND
      STATUTORY CLAIMS.  EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS
      A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP,
      THAT
      EACH PARTY HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT
      AND
      THAT EACH PARTY WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE
      DEALINGS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS
      WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY
      WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL FOLLOWING SUCH CONSULTATION.  THIS
      WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE
      CONTRARY, IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER
      SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS AND SUPPLEMENTS OR
      MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.  IN THE EVENT OF A LITIGATION, THIS
      AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE
      COURT.

     

    (j)  This
      Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
      so
      executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together
      shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  In the event that any
      signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create
      a
      valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
      signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such
      facsimile signature were the original thereof.
