Borrower and Lender are a “Party,” and collectively the “Parties” hereto. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in that certain Convertible Promissory Note by and among Lender and Borrower (the “Convertible Note”).
  
 RECITALS
  
 WHEREAS, the Lender has loaned or will loan monies to the Borrower, as more particularly described in the Convertible Note, in the original principal sum of Three Million Six Hundred Nineteen Thousand One Hundred Thirty Four Dollars and 02/100 ($3,619,134.02), and as evidenced by the Convertible Note;
  
 WHEREAS, the term “Lender” as used in this Agreement shall mean, collectively, all holders of the Note, including those persons who become holders of the Note subsequent to the date hereof; and
  
 WHEREAS, this Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Borrower to secure the Note.
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees as follows:
  
 1. Obligations Secured. This Agreement secures the prompt payment and performance of all obligations of the Borrower under the Convertible Note, and all renewals, extensions, modifications, amendments, and/or supplements thereto (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”).
  
 2. Grant of Security.
  
 (a) Collateral. The Borrower hereby grants, pledges, and collaterally assigns to the Lender, and there is hereby created in favor of the Lender, a security interest in and to all of Borrower’ right, title, and interest in, to, and under all of the collateral set forth on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, “Collateral”).
  
 (b) Effective Date. This grant of security shall be effective as of the date hereof.
  
 3. Filings to Perfect Security. The Lender may (and is hereby authorized to) file with any filing office such financing statements, amendments, addenda, continuations, terminations, assignments and other records (whether or not executed by the Borrower) as the Lender may deem necessary in its sole discretion to perfect and to maintain perfected security interests in the Collateral. Such documents may designate the Lender as the secured party and Borrower as the debtor, identify the security interest in the Collateral, and contain any other items required by law or deemed necessary by Collateral Agent. Such financing statements may describe the collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property.” Upon Collateral Agent’s request, the Borrower shall execute any such documents (whether or not required by law).

Such modification, amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
   	 
	-3-
	 
 
	 

  
 10. Exclusivity and Waiver of Rights. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising on the part of any party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
  
 11. Invalidity. Any term or provision of this Agreement shall be ineffective to the extent it is declared invalid or unenforceable, without rendering invalid or enforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 14. Survival. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all representations warranties, agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution hereof and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Note and satisfaction of all other obligations owed by any party to the Lender under any of the Bridge Loan Documents.
  
 15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and all their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.
