    (a) The
      Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this
      Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution,
      delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the filings
      contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
      part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company. This
      Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company
      enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
      limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
      affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally.

     

    (b) The
      Company represents and warrants that it has no place of business or offices
      where its respective books of account and records are kept (other than
      temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where
      the
      Intellectual Property is stored or located, except as set forth on Schedule
      A
      attached
      hereto;

     

    (c) The

      Intellectual Property, except as set forth on Schedule
      D.
      There

      office an effective financing statement, security agreement, license or transfer
      or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those that have been filed
      in
      favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting
      any
      of the Intellectual Property, except as set forth on Schedule
      D.
      So long
      as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Company shall not execute and shall
      not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or agency any such
      financing statement or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed
      or recorded in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this
      Agreement), except as set forth on Schedule
      D,
      provided that the value of the Intellectual Property covered by this Agreement

    (d) The
      Company shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating
      to
      the Intellectual Property at its principal place of business and its
      Intellectual Property at the locations set forth on Schedule
      A
      attached
      hereto and may not relocate such books of account and records unless it delivers
      to the Secured Party at least 30 days prior to such relocation (i) written
      notice of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be within
      the
      United States) and (ii) evidence that the necessary documents have been
      filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security
      Interest to create in favor of the Secured Party valid, perfected and continuing
      first priority liens in the Intellectual Property to the extent they can be
      perfected through such filings.

     

    (e) This
      Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in
      the
      Intellectual Property securing the payment and performance of the Obligations
      and, upon making the filings required hereunder, a perfected first priority
      security interest in such Intellectual Property to the extent that it can be
      perfected through such filings.

     

    (f) 
      Upon
      request of the Secured Party, the Company shall execute and deliver any and
      all
      agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Secured Party may request
      to evidence the Secured Party’s security interest in the Intellectual Property
      and the goodwill and general intangibles of the Company relating thereto or
      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
      power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until the Obligations have
      been fully satisfied and are paid in full.

     

    (g) Except
      as
      set forth on Schedule
      D,
      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
      for
      hereunder as valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests
      in
      the Intellectual Property to the extent they can be perfected by filing in
      favor
      of the Secured Party until this Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder
      shall terminate pursuant to Section 11. The Company hereby agrees to defend
      the
      same against any and all persons. The Company shall safeguard and protect all
      Intellectual Property for the account of the Secured Party. Without limiting
      the
      generality of the foregoing, the Company shall pay all fees, taxes and other
      amounts necessary to maintain the Intellectual Property and the Security
      Interest hereunder, and the Company shall obtain and furnish to the Secured
      Party from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of
      claims and liens which may be required to maintain the priority of the Security
      Interest hereunder.

      business), sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Intellectual Property without
      the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

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

      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
      inspect the Intellectual Property at any time, and to make copies of records
      pertaining to the Intellectual Property as may be requested by the Secured
      Party
      from time to time.

     

    (l) The
      Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to diligently pursue and seek
      to preserve, enforce and collect any rights, claims, causes of action and
      accounts receivable in respect of the Intellectual Property.

     

    (m) The
      Company shall promptly notify the Secured Party in sufficient detail upon
      becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process
      levied against any Intellectual Property and of any other information received

      Property, the Security Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured Party
      hereunder.

      with the appropriate notice of registration; not adopt or use any mark which
      is
      confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark or Copyright
      unless the Secured Party shall obtain a perfected security interest in such
      mark
      pursuant to this Agreement; and not (and not permit any licensee or 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

     

    
      
         

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

     

    (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

     

    
      
         

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

     

    (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
      payments under the Notes have been made in full 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, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on
      Schedule
      C,
      attached hereto, 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.

      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

      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

    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 TRIAL 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.

      AGREEMENT
        OF COMPROMISE, SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE

      

      

      PARTIES:

      

      The
        parties to this AGREEMENT OF COMPROMISE, SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE (hereinafter
        the
“Settlement Agreement” or “Agreement”) are:

       

      
        	 	
                ·

              	
                ATSI
                  Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation, now known as ATSI
                  Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation, via merger with corporate
                  offices in San Antonio, Texas (hereinafter “ATSI”),
                  and

              

      

      

      
        	 	
                ·

              	
                Ntera
                  Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation with corporate offices in
                  Miami,
                  Florida (hereinafter “Ntera”) 

              

      

      

      RECITALS:

      

      WHEREAS,
        Ntera and ATSI have had a bilateral business relationship in which each has
        provided telecommunications services and has terminated telecommunications
        traffic for the other, including a Reciprocal Network Carrier Services Agreement
        dated July 20, 2004 (the “Carrier Agreement”) under which Ntera asserts monies
        are still owing to it by ATSI and for which ATSI asserts it is allowed to
        offset
        same by providing termination or other telecommunications services for Ntera;
        and 

       

      WHEREAS,
        the parties have asserted their respective claims more specifically in an
        arbitration proceeding initiated by ATSI before the American Arbitration
        Association in Case No. 70 181 00476 05 pending before arbitrator Tower in
        Bexar
        County, Texas (hereinafter “Arbitration Proceeding”); and 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          1

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

      

      WHEREAS,
        the papers in said Arbitration Proceeding are incorporated herein regarding
        the
        asserted claims and counterclaims by ATSI and Ntera as more particularly
        set
        forth in said Arbitration Proceeding initiated by ATSI; and

       

      WHEREAS,
        bona fide disputes and controversies exist between the parties as to the
        amount
        owed Ntera by ATSI and the appropriate alternative methods by which to pay
        same,
        and 

       

      WHEREAS,
        by reason of such disputes and controversies the parties hereto desire to
        compromise and settle all claims and causes of action of any kind whatsoever
        between the parties relating to the claims and defenses or potential
        counterclaims asserted or which could have been asserted in the Arbitration
        Proceeding and any and all other claims, known or unknown, if any, either
        party
        hereto may have against the other.

       

      NOW,
        THEREFORE, to buy peace and for the mutual agreements and understandings
        herein
        expressed, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Ntera and ATSI do
        hereby
        contract and agree as follows:

       

      1. The
        parties agree that the agreed current balance owing by ATSI to Ntera is $83,000
        for which ATSI will pay such indebtedness and/or provide or make available
        telecommunication services to Ntera as set forth herein.

       

      2. ATSI
        will
        pay $5,000 substantially contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
        reducing the balance to $78,000.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

      

      3. As
        to the
        indebtedness of $78,000 owing by ATSI to Ntera following the execution of
        this
        Agreement and payment of $5,000 to Ntera, ATSI may pay off such indebtedness
        as
        follows:

       

      
        	 	
                ·

              	
                Beginning
                  June 10, 2006 through September 10, 2006, Ntera shall tender to
                  ATSI an
                  opportunity to terminate telecommunications traffic at the rates
                  and
                  destinations set forth in Exhibit
                  A
                  attached hereto and incorporated herein. ATSI shall provide such
                  termination services for Ntera to “burn” or reduce $78,000 in indebtedness
                  to Ntera as set forth herein. The markings in the margins of Exhibit
                  A
                  reference the destinations and rates Ntera has indicated it will
                  most
                  likely use in connection with presentment of minutes to ATSI to
                  be
                  terminated per this Agreement. However, Ntera will not be barred
                  from
                  tendering minutes for termination to the other destinations at
                  the rates
                  published in Exhibit A hereto. 

              

      

      

      
        	 	
                ·

              	
                The
                  rates in Exhibit A are considered by the parties hereto to be
                  substantially at market rates within the telecommunications industry.
                  The
                  rates in Exhibit A will control unless properly adjusted. If ATSI
                  believes
                  in good faith that the industry market rates hereafter meaningfully
                  increase such that the rates in Exhibit A should be fairly adjusted
                  upward
                  to reflect a meaningful change in market rates for such destination,
                  ATSI
                  will give Ntera 5 business days notice of a rate change as to such
                  destination. Such rate change shall be effective unless disputed
                  by Ntera
                  via written (email notification, fax, or mail, effective upon delivery).
                  If Ntera believes market rates hereafter change such that a rate
                  to a
                  destination in Exhibit A hereafter becomes lower than market for
                  the
                  industry and that ATSI should therefore drop its rate to reflect
                  prevailing market industry rates as to a particular destination
                  in Exhibit
                  A, then Ntera may give ATSI notice of its requested lower rate
                  change and
                  such rate change will become effective within 5 business days unless
                  disputed by ATSI in writing (email notification will suffice).
                  Email and
                  addresses for each party, for the purpose of such notification,

                If
                  Ntera tenders more telecommunications traffic for termination by
                  ATSI in
                  such period than is required to burn off or reduce the indebtedness
                  owed
                  by ATSI to Ntera, Ntera shall be responsible to ATSI for such services
                  at
                  the rates set forth in Exhibit A unless a new carrier services
                  agreement

                Ntera
                  is not required to tender sufficient telecommunications traffic
                  to ATSI
                  within the above-referenced approximately 90-day period to reflect
                  $78,000
                  worth of traffic; however, failure to do so will not avoid ATSI’s
                  discharge of such $78,000, unless the cause of Ntera’s failure is
                  attributable to ATSI’s refusal and/or failure to accept Ntera’s
                  telecommunications traffic and/or to provide Ntera with telecommunications
                  services in accordance with industry standard, quality-of-service
                  benchmarks. Ntera must tender the traffic to ATSI on or before
                  September
                  10, 2006. This use-it-or-lose-it provision is designed such that,
                  barring
                  any material breach by ATSI, ATSI will owe no amount to Ntera as
                  of
                  September 11, 2006.

                  90 day period, ATSI will provide Ntera a written report identifying
                  the
                  number of minutes by destination and dollar amounts attributable
                  to the
                  telecommunications traffic that Ntera transits over ATSI’s
                  telecommunications and/or VOIP network(s) under this

                Ntera
                  must file a notice (email notice per above will suffice) of dispute
                  with
                  ATSI on or before the tenth (10) day following the receipt of the
                  bi-weekly reports specifying in particular if Ntera disputes any
                  portion
                  of such report. ATSI must file a notice of dispute with Ntera on
                  or before
                  September 20, 2006 if it believes Ntera owes ATSI net monies under
                  this
                  Agreement. Failure by either party hereto to timely provide such
                  notice
                  will bar any claim as to such dispute. In the event that any dispute
                  by
                  one party hereto is determined to be valid as against the other,
                  the party
                  who owes the valid claim will pay the other the amount owed within
                  ten
                  (10) calendar days from the date upon which the disputes was deemed
                  valid.
                  After the completion of this Agreement, any validly disputed amounts
                  owed
                  by one party to the other, if any, will accrue interest at an annual
                  rate
                  of eight percent (8%).

        and
        ATSI and their successors, affiliates, attorneys, agents, and assigns, and
        those
        in privity with them, do hereby release, acquit and discharge each other
        and
        their successors, affiliates, attorneys (including but not limited to Langley
        & Banack, Inc., Peter Kilpatrick, Perlman Yevoli & Albright P.L., and
        Paul Turner), agents, and assigns (including all current and former officers
        and
        directors of each company), and those in privity with them, of and from any
        and
        all claims, known or unknown, contingent or uncontingent, liquidated or
        unliquidated, demands and/or causes of action growing out of their prior
        relationship with each other, including but not limited to all matters set
        forth
        in the Arbitration Proceeding, it being understood that the only obligations
        remaining by and between the parties hereto are that as narrowly set forth
        in
        this Settlement Agreement. 

       

      5. The
        parties hereto expressly warrant that they are the sole and exclusive owners
        of
        their respective claims herein being
        released
        and that no portion has been sold, transferred, conveyed, or hypothecated.
        

       

      6. Nothing
        contained in this Settlement Agreement shall ever be construed as an admission
        of liability of wrongdoing by ATSI or Ntera.
        This
        Settlement Agreement is
        confidential
        and shall not be revealed to anyone not a party to this Settlement Agreement
        except to an
        arbitrator or court to the
        extent necessary
        to resolve any dispute under this Settlement Agreement, or
        as may
        be reasonably necessary to prepare state or federal income tax
        returns.

      7. Upon
        the
        consummation of this Settlement Agreement, the parties will direct their
        attorneys to promptly seek dismissal of all claims and counterclaims by the
        parties in the Arbitration by preparing the appropriate joint request or
        motion
        and order of dismissal of all claims and counterclaims in the Arbitration
        Proceeding. 

       

      8. This
        Settlement Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties.
        The
        parties further contract and agree that no oral agreement exists between
        the
        parties and that this Settlement Agreement may only be amended as by a writing
        signed by all of the parties to be bound.

       

      9. Although
        all claims and counterclaims in the Arbitration Proceeding are hereby released
        and dismissed with prejudice - with the only claims against each other, if
        any,
        arising only out of the failure to perform this Agreement - the parties will
        use
        their best efforts not to dismiss the Arbitration Proceeding any sooner than
        September 25, 2006, at which time the parties will agree to jointly dismiss
        such
        Arbitration Proceeding as soon as practical after September 10, 2006. In
        the
        hopefully unlikely event there is a dispute involving a material and substantial
        breach by either party hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
        assuming the AAA will allow the parties to abate such Arbitration Proceeding
        pending the performance of this Agreement, the parties may amend their claims
        in
        the Arbitration Proceeding and attach a copy of this Agreement and for all
        practical purposes assert completely new claims limited to alleged breach
        of
        this Agreement. In the event the AAA dismisses the Arbitration Proceeding
        referenced above despite the good faith efforts of the parties hereto to
        seek
        abatement of such proceeding pending the performance of the parties’ obligations
        herein, a binding arbitration may be pursued by either party against the
        other
        via an agreed single arbitrator in Bexar County, Texas utilizing the same
        arbitrator, Bill Tower and said arbitration can but need not be via the American
        Arbitration Association, in which case Mr. Tower can utilize the AAA rules
        as a
        guide to the extent he wishes. If no party amends their arbitration claim
        against the other as of September 25, 2006, the Arbitration Proceeding shall
        be
        dismissed and the parties will have no other claims against the other arising
        out of or relating to this Agreement.

      10. ATSI
        agrees and covenants not to hereafter disparage Ntera or its officers and
        members of its Board of Directors and Ntera agrees and covenants not to
        hereafter disparage ATSI or its officers and members of its Board of
        Directors.

       

      11. The
        parties to this Settlement Agreement covenant and agree that they will execute
        such other instruments and documents that are or may become necessary or
        convenient to effect and carry out this Settlement Agreement.

       

      12. No
        contract or other agreement survives as between the parties hereto except
        for
        this Agreement.

      13. Any
        ambiguities in this Settlement Agreement shall not be strictly construed
        against
        the parties herein released.

       

      14. This
        Settlement Agreement shall be binding
        on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs,
        executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns
        when
        permitted by this Settlement Agreement. 

       

      15. In
        any
        action brought to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement, the prevailing
        party shall be entitled to recover all costs of enforcement in any arbitration,
        including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees. As used in this
        Settlement Agreement, the term “prevailing party” means that party whose
        position is substantially upheld in a final judgment rendered in any litigation,
        arbitration, or proceeding, or, if the final judgment is appealed, that party
        whose positions are substantially upheld by the decision of the final appellate
        body that considers the appeals.

       

      16. ATSI
        must
        use reasonable diligence to maintain its network so as to reasonably provide
        capacity and quality services to Ntera as to the destinations set forth in
        Exhibit A hereto. However, if network capacity significantly changes during
        such
        90-day period beyond ATSI’s reasonable control, ATSI’s inability to terminate
        such calls to such destinations shall not be considered
        a
breach
        of
        this Agreement if ATSI reasonably notifies Ntera of deletions of certain
        destinations from Exhibit A because of meaningful changes in network capacity
        beyond ATSI’s reasonable control. No failure or omission by either party to
        carry out or observe any of the terms and conditions of this Settlement
        Agreement (other than payment obligation) shall give rise to any claim against
        such party or be deemed a breach of this Settlement Agreement if such failure
        or
        omission arises from an Act of God, an act of Government, any unforeseeable
        cause reasonably beyond the control of a party, or any other circumstance
        commonly known as a
        force
        majeure.

      17. This
        Settlement Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the
        parties
        and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives,
        successors, and assigns when permitted by this Settlement
        Agreement.

       

      18. In
        case
        any one or more of the provisions contained in this Settlement Agreement
        is for
        any reason held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect,
        such
        invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
        of this Settlement Agreement, and this Settlement Agreement shall be construed
        as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a
        part
        hereof.

       

      19. Wherever
        the context shall so require, all words in this Settlement Agreement in the
        male
        gender shall be deemed to include the female or neuter gender, all singular
        words shall include the plural, and all plural words shall include the
        singular.

       

      20. This
        Settlement Agreement may be executed in counterparts and via facsimile and
        each
        of such counterparts and facsimile copy shall for all purposes be deemed
        to be
        an original. All signatories hereto represent and warrant that they have
        the
        authority to execute the binding promises and releases in this Agreement.
        

       

      21. This
        Agreement is not binding on any one party unless signed by or on behalf of
        both
        parties and approved by their counsel before June 3, 2006.
