Company shall promptly take such other actions as the Lender shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS


 


The Company represents,
warrants and covenants as follows:


 


Section
4.1.          Title. Except for the security interest granted pursuant
to this Agreement, the Company owns and, as to Pledged Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, will
own the rights in each item of Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others
other than Permitted Liens. In addition, except for the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement, no Liens or claims
exist on the Securities Collateral. The Company has not filed, nor authorized any third party to file a financing statement or
other public notice of lien or encumbrance with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Collateral on file or of record in any
public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Lender pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by Lender or
pursuant to the Promissory Note. No Person other than the Lender has control or possession of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral,
except for any Pledged Collateral in transit, out for repair or otherwise off-site in the ordinary course of business.


 


Section
4.2.          Validity of Security Interest. The security interest
in and Lien on the Pledged Collateral granted to the Lender for the benefit of the Lender constitutes (a) a legal and valid
security interest in all the Pledged Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and (b) a
perfected security interest in all the Pledged Collateral. The security interest and Lien granted to the Lender for the benefit
of the Lender pursuant to this Agreement in and on the Pledged Collateral (other than the HSBC Deposit Accounts) will at all times
constitute a perfected, continuing first-priority security interest therein, subject only to Permitted Liens.


 






    	14



    	 



    

 


Section
4.3.          Defense of Claims: Transferability of Pledged Collateral.
The Company shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security
interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Lender and the priority thereof against all material claims and demands of all
Persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Lender. There is no agreement, and
the Company shall not enter into any agreement, or take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the
Pledged Collateral (except for any immaterial portion of Pledged Collateral) or otherwise impair or conflict with the Company’s
obligations or the rights of the Lender hereunder.


 


Section
4.4.          Other Financing Statements. The Company has not filed,
nor authorized any third party to file (nor will there be any) valid or effective financing statement (or similar statement or
instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Pledged
Collateral other than financing statements and other statements and instruments relating to the Loan. So long as any of the Secured
Obligations remain unpaid, the Company shall not execute, authorize or permit to be filed in any public office any financing statement
(or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to any Pledged Collateral, except
financing statements and other statements and instruments filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests
granted by the Company under this Agreement.


 


Section
4.5.          Name; Jurisdiction of Organization.


 


(a)          The
Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 6(a), Section 7(a), and Section 7(c) of the Promissory
Note.


 


(b)          The
Lender may rely on opinions of counsel as to whether any UCC financing statement of the Company needs to be amended.


 


Section
4.6.          Location of Inventory and Equipment. The Company
shall not move any Equipment to any location other than one within the continental United States and, with respect to any material
part of Equipment, until (a) it shall have given the Lender not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of its intention
so to do, clearly describing such new location within the continental United States and providing such other information in connection
therewith as the Lender may request and (b) with respect to such new location, the Company shall have taken all action reasonably
satisfactory to the Lender to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Lender for the benefit of the
Lender in the Pledged Collateral intended to be granted hereby, including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers
of landlord’s or warehousemen’s and/or bailee’s liens with respect to such new location, if applicable, and if
requested by the Lender.


 


Section
4.7.          Consents, etc. In the event that the Lender desires
to exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement and determines it
necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other Person therefor, then, upon the reasonable
request of the Lender, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts (and, during an Event of Default, its best
efforts) to assist and aid the Lender to obtain, as soon as practicable, any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of
any such remedies, rights, and powers.


 






    	15



    	 



    

 


Section
4.8.          Pledged Collateral. All information set forth herein,
including the schedules annexed hereto, and all information contained in any documents, schedules, and lists heretofore delivered
to the Lender in connection with this Agreement, relating to the Pledged Collateral, is accurate and complete in all material respects.


 


Section
4.9.          Insurance. In the event that the proceeds of any
insurance claim are paid after the Lender has exercised its right to foreclose after an Event of Default, such cash proceeds shall
be paid to the Lender to satisfy any deficiency remaining after such foreclosure.


 


Section
4.10.        Payment of Taxes; Compliance with Laws; Contesting Liens;
Claims. The Company represents and warrants that all Claims imposed upon or assessed against the Pledged Collateral (other
than any immaterial part thereof) have been paid and discharged except to the extent such Claims constitute a Lien not yet due
and payable, a Contested Lien or a Permitted Lien. The Company shall comply with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Pledged
Collateral the failure to comply with which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company
may at its own expense contest the validity, amount or applicability of any Claim so long as such contest is in good faith and
the Company has set aside adequate reserves to pay such Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.10,
(a) no contest of any such obligation may be pursued by the Company if such contest would expose the Lender to (i) any possible
criminal liability or (ii) any additional civil liability for failure to comply with such obligations unless the Company shall
have furnished a bond or other security therefor satisfactory to the Lender and (b) if at any time payment or performance
of any obligation contested by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall become necessary to prevent the imposition
of remedies because of nonpayment, the Company shall pay or perform the same in sufficient time to prevent the imposition of remedies
in respect of such default or prospective default.


 


Section 4.11.       Access
to Pledged Collateral, Books and Records; Other Information. The Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have full
and free access to visit and inspect all of the Pledged Collateral upon reasonable notice during normal business hours; provided
that, if an Event of Default exists, such visit and inspection may occur at any time.


 


Section

hereto lists all Instruments, Letter of Credit Rights, and Chattel Paper of the Company.

Accounts and Securities Accounts.


 


(a)          Schedule
5 lists all Deposit Accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the date hereof.


 


(b)          All Deposit Accounts
of the Company (other than the HSBC Deposit Accounts) are Perfected Deposit Accounts. Except for transfers of proceeds of the Loan
in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and that are made at a time when no Event of Default exists, the Company
shall at all times maintain the proceeds of the Loan in a Perfected Deposit Account. The Company shall not establish any additional
Deposit Account unless such additional Deposit Account is a Perfected Deposit Account.


 






    	16



    	 



    

 


(c)          The Company shall
not transfer any of the proceeds of the Loan to any subsidiary unless (i) such transfer is needed by such subsidiary (and such
transfer may not exceed the amount needed after utilization by such subsidiary of all other available sources of funds) to conduct
operations in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and such proceeds are so utilized within thirty (30)
days after the date of such transfer, and (ii) such transfer is in the form of a loan secured by such funds and all other assets
of such subsidiary, which secured loan is evidenced by an Instrument that constitutes Pledged Collateral and has been delivered

nor any of its subsidiaries has any Securities Accounts as of the date hereof. The Company shall not, and shall not permit its

The representations
and warranties set forth in this Section 5.1 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.


 


Section
5.2.          Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees that:


 


(a)          Without
the prior written consent of the Lender, the Company will not sell, assign, transfer, dispose of, pledge, or otherwise encumber

    	18

the claim of any Person and will maintain and preserve such Liens except as against Permitted Liens;


 


(d)          The
Company will, upon obtaining ownership of any additional Capital Securities, or promissory notes or instruments of a Pledged Entity,
or Capital Securities or promissory notes or instruments otherwise required to be pledged to the Lender pursuant to any of the
Promissory Note Documents, which Capital Securities, notes or instruments are not already Pledged Collateral, promptly (and in
any event within fifteen (15) Business Days) deliver to the Lender a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by the Company, in substantially
the form of Exhibit 1 hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”) in respect of any such additional Capital Securities,
notes or instruments, pursuant to which the Company shall pledge to the Lender all of such additional Capital Securities, notes
and instruments. The Company hereby authorizes the Lender to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all
Pledged Shares and Pledged Indebtedness listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Lender shall for all purposes hereunder
be considered Pledged Collateral; and


 


(e)          If
following a change in the relevant sections of the Code or the regulations, rules, rulings, notices or other official pronouncements
issued or promulgated thereunder, the Lender concludes that with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary which has not already had all
of its stock pledged pursuant to this Agreement that a pledge of additional (in the case of a direct Foreign Subsidiary) or all
(in the case of any indirect Foreign Subsidiary) of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of such Foreign
Subsidiary entitled to vote, would not cause any undistributed earnings of a Foreign Subsidiary as determined for United States
Federal income tax purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to a Foreign Subsidiary’s United States parent for United
States Federal income tax purposes, then that portion of such Foreign Subsidiary’s outstanding Capital Stock not theretofore
pledged pursuant to this Agreement shall be pledged upon entering all necessary documents to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement
(or another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if needed) to the extent that entering into such agreement is permitted
by the laws of the respective foreign jurisdiction; provided, however, that the amount of additional stock that may
be pledged pursuant to this Section 5.2(e) shall not exceed the amount of such stock that can be pledged without causing
any such undistributed earnings of a Foreign Subsidiary to be treated as a deemed dividend; provided, further that
if the Company disagrees with the determination of the Lender, the Company shall have thirty (30) days to provide the Lender with
an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender that concludes that such pledge would cause adverse United States Federal
income tax consequences, in which case, such additional pledge shall not be required. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Lender to obtain such an opinion shall be paid by the Company.


 


Section
5.3.         Company’s Rights. As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and until written
notice shall be given to the Company in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof:


 






    	19



    	 



    

 


(a)          The
Company shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Collateral, or any part
thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Promissory Note or any other Promissory Note
Document;


 


(b)          The
Company shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect
of the Pledged Shares and Pledged Indebtedness; provided, however, that until actually paid all rights to such distributions
shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement.


 


Section
5.4.          Defaults and Remedies; Proxy.


 


(a)          Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation of such Event of Default, and concurrently with written notice
to the Company, the Lender (personally or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its
name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Securities Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing Securities Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise
the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal
and other distributions made thereon, to exercise all remedies set forth in Article VI or under applicable law and
to otherwise act with respect to the Securities Collateral as though the Lender was the outright owner thereof. THE COMPANY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE LENDER DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
OF THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION
TO DO SO. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE LENDER AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL
THE TERMINATION DATE. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE APPOINTMENT
OF THE LENDER AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES
TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING
SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY DURING THE CONTINUANCE
OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED SHARES ON THE RECORD BOOKS
OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE
OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE LENDER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE
THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.


 






    	20



    	 



    

 


(b)          If,
at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Securities Collateral, the highest bid, if
there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Securities Collateral be
offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to the Lender, in
its discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Securities Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to
discharge all the Secured Obligations, the Lender may, on one or more occasions and in its discretion, postpone any of said sales
by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement
or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or
sales made after such postponement shall be after not less than ten (10) days’ notice to the Company.


 


(c)          If,
at any time when the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Securities Collateral hereunder,
such Securities Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect, the “Act”), the Lender may, in
its discretion (subject only to applicable Requirements of Law), sell such Securities Collateral or part thereof by private sale
in such manner and under such circumstances as the Lender may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements
of this Agreement, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, the Lender in its discretion (x) may, in accordance with applicable securities
laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Securities
Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Act (or similar statute), (y) may approach and negotiate
with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (z) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor
under the Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with
a view to the distribution or sale of such Securities Collateral or any part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided
above in this Article V, if any of the Securities Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without
registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Article, then the Lender shall
not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable
Requirements of Law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:


 


(i)          as
to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;


 


(ii)         as
to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Securities Collateral sold in such sale, including
restrictions on future transfer thereof;


 


(iii)        as
to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access
to financial information about the Company and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold
for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and


 






    	21



    	 



    

 


(iv)        as
to such other matters as the Lender may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding
any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the bankruptcy code, the UCC and other laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.


 


(d)          The
Company recognizes that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled
to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (c) above. The Company also acknowledges that
any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable
manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged
Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Entity to register such securities for public sale under the
Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Company and the Pledged Entity would agree to do so.


 


(e)          The
Company agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium
or redemption law not or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale
of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and the Company
waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. The Company agrees that it will not interfere with any
right, power and remedy of the Lender provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute
or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Lender of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.
No failure or delay on the part of the Lender to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be
given to or made upon the Company by the Lender with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or
impair the Lender’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice
its rights as against the Company in any respect.


 


(f)          The
Company further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.4 will cause irreparable injury
to the Lender, that the Lender shall have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that
each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.4 shall be specifically enforceable against the Company, and the
Company hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except
for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing
and evidencing such obligations.

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES


 


Section
6.1.          Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default the Lender may from time to time exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to the other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the following remedies:


 


(a)          Personally,
or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, from the Company or any other
Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon
the Company’s premises where any of the Pledged Collateral is located, remove such Pledged Collateral, remain present at
such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Pledged Collateral and use in connection
with such removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Company;


 


(b)          Demand,
sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Pledged Collateral including
instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Pledged Collateral
to make any payment by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Lender, and in connection with
any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided,
however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to the Company, prior to receipt by any such obligor
of such instruction, the Company shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Lender and
shall promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Lender;


 


(c)          Sell,
assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Company to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise
liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession
of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;


 


(d)          Take
possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the Company in writing to deliver the same to the Lender
at any place or places so designated by the Lender, in which event the Company shall at its own expense: (i) forthwith cause
the same to be moved (to the extent requested) to the place or places designated by the Lender and therewith delivered to the Lender,
(ii) store and keep any Pledged Collateral so delivered to the Lender at such place or places pending further action by the
Lender and (iii) while the Pledge Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as
shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. Upon application to a court of equity
having jurisdiction, the Lender shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the Company of such obligation;


 


(e)          Withdraw
all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in the Company’s deposit accounts for application to the Secured Obligations;


 






    	23



    	 



    

 


(f)          Exercise
any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Pledged Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any
and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral; and


 


(g)          Exercise
all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, and the Lender may also in its sole discretion, without
notice, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private
sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable. The Lender or any
of its affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Pledged Collateral at any such sale.
Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely
free from any claim or right on the part of the Company, and the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or
statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless
of notice of sale having been given. The Lender 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.
The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Lender arising by reason of the fact
that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the
price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.


 


Section
6.2.          Notice of Sale. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral shall be required by law, ten (10) days’
prior notice to the Company of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to the
Company if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification
of sale or other intended disposition.


 


Section
6.3.          Waiver of Notice and Claims. The Company hereby waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Lender’s taking possession
or the Lender’s disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment
remedy or remedies and any such right which the Company would otherwise have under law, and the Company hereby further waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (b) all other
requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Lender’s
rights hereunder, and (c) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in
force under any applicable law. The Lender shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article VI
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization
upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity,
of the Company therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Company and against any
and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof,
from, through or under the Company.


 






    	24



    	 



    

 


Section
6.4.          Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral. The Company
recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority,
the Lender may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those
who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. The Company acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on
terms less favorable to the Lender than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding
such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner
and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Lender shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.


 


Section
6.5.          No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.


 


(a)          No
failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Lender in
exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or remedy; nor shall the Lender be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties.
The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.


 


(b)          In
the event that the Lender shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure,
sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Lender, then and in every such case, the Company and the Lender shall be restored to their respective former positions
and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Lender shall continue as
if no such proceeding had been instituted.


 


Section
6.6.          Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Lender, the Company shall execute
and deliver to the Lender an assignment or assignments of the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and Goodwill and
such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within five (5) Business
Days of written notice thereafter from the Lender, the Company shall make available to the Lender, to the extent within the Company’s
power and authority, such personnel in the Company’s employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Lender may reasonably
designate to permit the Company to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold
by the Company under the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights, and such persons shall be available to perform their
prior functions on the Lender’s behalf.


 






    	25



    	 



    

 


Section
6.7.          Grant of License. For the purpose of enabling the
Lender to exercise rights and remedies under this Article VI (including, without limiting the terms of this Article VI,
in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose
of Pledged Collateral) at such time as the Lender shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Company
hereby grants to the Lender an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation
to the Company) to use, license or sublicense any Patent, Trademark, trade secret or Copyright now owned or hereafter acquired
by the Company, 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 of the compilation or printout thereof.

7.1.          Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by
the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant
to the exercise by the Lender of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Lender, in accordance
with the Promissory Note. In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in the Promissory
Note, the Company and any guarantor party to the applicable Promissory Note Documents shall remain liable, jointly and severally,

MISCELLANEOUS


 


Section
8.1.          Concerning Lender.


 


(a)          The
Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession
if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Lender, in its individual capacity,
accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that the Lender shall not have responsibility
for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversations, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters
relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking
any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.


 


(b)          If
any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Lender under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security
agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such
other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the Lender,
in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or provisions shall control.


 






    	26



    	 



    

 


Section
8.2.          Lender May Perform; Lender Appointed Attorney-In-Fact.
If the Company shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including the Company’s covenants to (a) pay
the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (b) pay Claims, (c) make repairs, (d) discharge
Liens or (e) pay or perform any obligations of the Company under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty
on the part of the Company contained herein shall be breached, the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause
it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Lender
shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, lien, imposition or other obligation which the Company fails
to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which the Company does not contest in accordance in accordance with the provisions
of Section 4.10 hereof. Any and all amounts so expended by the Lender shall be paid by the Company in accordance with
the provisions of the Promissory Note. Neither the provisions of this Section 8.2 nor any action taken by the Lender
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in
this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. The Company hereby appoints
the Lender its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company, or otherwise,
from time to time in the Lender’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of
the Promissory Note, this Agreement and any of the other Promissory Note Documents which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable
to accomplish the purposes thereof. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment
shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. The Company hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof.


 


Section
8.3.          Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement
shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (a) be binding upon the Company, its respective
successors and assigns and (b) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the benefit of the
Lender and each of its respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other Persons (including any other creditor of the Company)
shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(b), any the Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any obligation held by it secured by this Agreement to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Lender, herein or otherwise,
subject however, to the provisions of the Promissory Note.


 


Section
8.4.          Termination; Release. The Pledged Collateral or any
portion thereof shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement upon its sale in the ordinary course of business; provided
that a sale of all or any material portion of the Pledged Collateral, whether in one or more transactions, shall only be
released with the prior written consent of the Lender. Upon termination hereof or any release of Pledged Collateral in accordance
with the provisions of the Promissory Note, the Lender shall, promptly upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the
Company, assign, transfer and deliver to the Company, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Lender except
as to the fact that the Lender has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral to be released (in the case
of a release) as may be in possession of the Lender and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms
hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, execute and deliver proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3
termination statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case
may be.


 






    	27



    	 



    

 


Section
8.5.          Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification,
supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by the Company therefrom, shall be
effective unless the same (i) shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note, (ii) shall be in writing
and signed by the Lender or, if applicable, the requisite Noteholder as required under the Promissory Note, and (iii) shall expressly
state that the intent of such writing is to amend, modify or waive a right under this Agreement. Any amendment, modification or
supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by the Company from
the terms of any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made
or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document evidencing the Secured Obligations,
no notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.


 


Section
8.6.         Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the
Promissory Note, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become
effective as set forth in the Promissory Note, as to the Company, addressed to it at the address of the Company set forth in the
Promissory Note and as to the Lender, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Promissory Note, or in each case at such
other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms
of this Section 8.6.


 


Section
8.7.          Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE AND ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF
LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.


 


Section
8.8.          Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction.


 


Section
8.9.         Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any
amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.


 


Section
8.10.        Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided
in this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date
shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the
same force and effect as if made on such other day. 


 



    	28



    	 



    




 


Section
8.11.        Waiver of Stay. The Company covenants (to the extent effective
under and permitted by applicable law) that in the event that the Company or any property or assets of the Company shall hereafter
become the subject of a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the bankruptcy code or the Company shall otherwise be a party
to any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding that provides for an automatic stay or any similar
provision in any such law, then, in any such case, whether or not the Lender has commenced foreclosure proceedings under this Agreement,
the Company shall not, and the Company hereby expressly waives its right to (to the extent effective under and permitted by applicable
law) at any time insist upon, plead or in any whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any such automatic stay or
such similar provision as it relates to the exercise of any of the rights and remedies (including any foreclosure proceedings)
available to the Lender as provided in this Agreement, in any other Security Document or any other document relating to the Secured
Obligations. The Company further covenants (to the extent effective under and permitted by applicable law) that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power granted herein to the Lender, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no law relating to any stay or similar provision had been enacted.


 


Section
8.12.       No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition. The Company
shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Promissory Note, and
the Company shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof,
by reason of the payment of any tax on the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.


 


Section
8.13.        No Claims Against Lender. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall constitute any consent or request by the Lender, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the
furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.


 


Section
8.14.        No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall
relieve the Company from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Company’s part to be performed
or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or from any liability to any Person under or in respect of any
of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Lender to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition
or agreement on the Company’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Lender for any act
or omission on the part of the Company relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the
Company contained in this Agreement, the Promissory Note or the other Promissory Note Documents, or under or in respect of the
Pledged Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. The obligations of the Company contained in this Section 8.14
shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Promissory
Note, and the other Promissory Note Documents.


 


Section
8.15.      Obligations Absolute. All obligations of the Company hereunder
shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:


 


(a)          any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the Company;


 






    	29



    	 



    

 


(b)          any
lack of validity or enforceability of the Promissory Note or any other Promissory Note Document, or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto;


 


(c)          any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Promissory Note or any other Promissory Note Document or any other
agreement or instrument relating thereto;


 


(d)          any
pledge, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any
departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;


 


(e)          any
exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof, the Promissory Note or any
other Promissory Note Document except as specifically set forth in a waiver granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5
hereof; or


 


(f)          any
other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company.
