Liable.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a)

included in the Collateral, including the Pledged Operating Agreements and the
Pledged Partnership Agreements, to perform all of the duties and obligations
thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b)

    5.    
        Representations and
Warranties.  Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants as
follows:

     

    (a)           The
exact legal name of each of the Grantors is set forth on the signature pages of
this Agreement.

     

    (b)           Schedule
7 attached hereto sets forth (i) all Real Property owned or leased by
Grantors, together with all other locations of Collateral, as of the date
hereof, and (ii) the chief executive office of each Grantor as of the date
hereof.

     

    (c)           As
of the date hereof, no Grantor has any interest in, or title to,
any  Copyrights, Intellectual Property Licenses, Patents, or
Trademarks except as set forth on Schedules
2, 3, 4, and 6,
respectively, attached hereto.  This Agreement is effective to create
a valid and continuing Lien on such Copyrights, Intellectual Property Licenses,
Patents and Trademarks and, upon filing of the Copyright Security Agreement with
the United States Copyright Office and filing of the Patent Security Agreement
and the Trademark Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, and the filing of appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions
listed on Schedule
8 hereto, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the
Security Interests in and to each Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks, or Copyrights
has been taken and such perfected Security Interests are enforceable as such as
against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor.  No
Grantor has any interest in any Copyright that is necessary in connection with
the operation of such Grantor’s business, except for those Copyrights identified
on Schedule
2 attached hereto which have been registered with the United States
Copyright Office.

     

    (d)           This
Agreement creates a valid security interest in all of the Collateral of each
Grantor, to the extent a security interest therein can be created under the Code
securing the payment of the Secured Obligations. Except to the extent a security
interest in the Collateral cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing
statement under the Code, all filings and other actions necessary or desirable
to perfect and protect such security interest have been duly taken or will have
been taken upon the filing of financing statements listing each applicable
Grantor, as a debtor, and Secured Parties, as secured parties, in the
jurisdictions listed next to such Grantor’s name on Schedule
8 attached hereto. Upon the making of such filings, subject to Permitted
Liens, Secured Parties shall each have a first priority (or second priority, to
the extent such Collateral is subject to a Permitted Lien (as defined in the
Notes) with respect to the Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Notes))
perfected security interest in all of the Collateral of each Grantor to the
extent such security interest can be perfected by the filing of a financing
statement .  All action by any Grantor necessary to protect and
perfect such security interest on each item of Collateral has been duly
taken.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement), the parties hereto acknowledge that on September 7, 2006 a UCC 3
termination statement was filed in the State of Wyoming with respect to a
previously filed UCC Financing Statement by SunTrust Bank (the “Suntrust Lien”) and that on
January 7, 2010 a UCC 3 continuation statement (the “Continuation Statement”) was
filed in error with respect the SunTrust Lien.  Grantors agree to use
reasonable commercial efforts to promptly cause the withdrawal or termination
of  the Continuation Statement and the  parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that references to the priority  of the Secured
Parties’ security interest in the Collateral is subject to the withdrawal or
termination of the Continuation Statement.

indicated on Schedule
5 as being owned by such Grantor and, when acquired by such Grantor, any
Pledged Interests acquired after the date hereof; (ii) all of the Pledged
Interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
the Pledged Interests constitute or will constitute the percentage of the issued
and outstanding Stock of the Pledged Companies of such Grantor identified on
Schedule
5 hereto; (iii) such Grantor has the right and requisite authority to
pledge all Investment Related Property pledged by such Grantor to each Secured
Party as provided herein; (iv) all actions necessary or desirable, subject to
Permitted Liens, to perfect, establish the first priority (or second priority,
to the extent such Collateral is subject to a Permitted Lien  with
respect to the Senior Indebtedness ) of, or otherwise protect, Secured Parties’
respective Liens in the Investment Related Property pledged hereunder, and the
proceeds thereof, have been duly taken, (A) upon the execution and delivery of
this Agreement; (B) upon the taking of possession by any Secured Party of any
certificates constituting the Pledged Interests, to the extent such Pledged
Interests are represented by certificates, together with undated powers endorsed
in blank by the applicable Grantor; (C) upon the filing of financing statements
in the applicable jurisdiction set forth on Schedule
8 attached hereto for such Grantor with respect to the Pledged Interests
of such Grantor that are not represented by certificates, and (D) with respect
to any Securities Accounts, upon the delivery of Control Agreements with respect
thereto; and (v) subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination
Agreement, each Grantor has delivered to and deposited with any Secured Party
(or, with respect to any Pledged Interests created or obtained after the date
hereof, will deliver and deposit in accordance with Sections 6(a) and 8 hereof)
all certificates representing the Pledged Interests now or hereafter owned by
such Grantor to the extent such Pledged Interests are represented by
certificates, and undated powers endorsed in blank with respect to such
certificates. None of the Pledged Interests owned or held by such Grantor has
been issued or transferred in violation of any securities registration,
securities disclosure, or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such
issuance or transfer may be subject.

     

    (f)           Other

Agreement), no consent, approval, authorization, or other order or other action
by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other
Person is required (i) for the grant of a Security Interest by such Grantor in
and to the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery,
or performance of this Agreement by such Grantor, or (ii) for the exercise by

laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally and (B) for any
consent that may be required for the assignment of any Intellectual Property
License.

Grantor or New Subsidiary now or at any time hereafter is required to execute or
deliver pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, each Secured Party shall have full authority in the place
and stead of such Grantor or New Subsidiary, and in the name of such Grantor,
such New Subsidiary or otherwise, to execute and deliver each of the foregoing.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Secured Party shall have full
authority in the place and stead of each Grantor and each New Subsidiary, and in
the name of any such Grantor, any such New Subsidiary or otherwise, at such time
as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to
execute any instrument which such Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation:

     

    (a)           to
ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance
and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with any
Collateral of such Grantor or New Subsidiary;

     

    (b)           to
receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor or New Subsidiary and to
notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to such
Grantor or New Subsidiary to that of such Secured Party;

     

    (c)           to
receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents,
Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;

     

    (d)           to
file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which such
Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral of such Grantor or New Subsidiary or otherwise to enforce the rights
of any Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral;

     

    (e)           to
repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part
the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor or New Subsidiary in
respect of any Account of such Grantor or New Subsidiary;

     

    (f)           to
use any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial
designs, Copyrights, customer lists, advertising matter or other industrial or
intellectual property rights, in advertising for sale and selling Inventory and
other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or
Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor or New Subsidiary; and

     

    (g)           such
Secured Party shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in
its own name to enforce the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights and Intellectual
Property Licenses and, if such Secured Party shall commence any such suit, the
appropriate Grantor or New Subsidiary shall, at the request of such Secured
Party, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents
reasonably required by such Secured Party in aid of such
enforcement.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    To the
extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies, for itself and each of
its New Subsidiaries, all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause
to be done by virtue hereof.  This power-of-attorney granted pursuant
to this Section 10 is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until
this Agreement is terminated.

     

    11.           Secured Parties May
Perform.  If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, any Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of,
such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of such Secured Party incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by
Grantors.

     

    12.           Secured Parties’ Duties;
Bailee for Perfection.  The powers conferred on Secured Parties
hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ respective interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party in favor of any
Grantor or any other Secured Party to exercise any such
powers.  Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, no
Secured Party shall have any duty to any Grantor or any other Secured Party as
to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral.  A Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual
possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which such Secured Party accords its own property.  Each Secured Party
agrees that, with respect to any Collateral at any time or times in its
possession and in which any other Secured Party has a Lien, the Secured Party in
possession of any such Collateral shall be the bailee of each other Secured
Party solely for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected)
each other Secured Party’s Lien in such Collateral, provided that no Secured
Party shall be obligated to obtain or retain possession of any such
Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured
Parties and Grantors hereby agree that any Secured Party that is in possession
of any Collateral at such time as the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured
Party have been paid in full shall re-deliver such Collateral to the applicable
Grantor or, if requested by any Secured Party, if there are any Secured
Obligations owed by such Grantor to such Secured Party, prior to such
re-delivery, may deliver such Collateral (unless otherwise restricted by
applicable law or court order and subject in all events to the receipt of an
indemnification of all liabilities arising from such delivery) to the requesting
Secured Party, without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Secured
Party in such possession.

     

    13.           Collection of Accounts,
General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral.  At any time
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any
Secured Party may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts,
General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral have been assigned
to such Secured Party or that such Secured Party has a security interest
therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable
Collateral directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part
of the Secured Obligations.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        19

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    14.           Disposition of Pledged
Interests by Secured Party.  None of the Pledged Interests
existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests
hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or
qualified under the various federal, state or other securities laws of the
United States or any other jurisdiction, and disposition thereof after an Event
of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in
view of the lack of such registration.  Each Grantor understands that
in connection with such disposition, any Secured Party may approach only a
restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale
under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than
if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal,
state and other securities laws and sold on the open market.  Each
Grantor, therefore, agrees that:  (a) if a Secured
Party  shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause
the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, such
Secured Party shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any
nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated
to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in
determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner
in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to
the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such
reliance shall be conclusive evidence that such Secured Party has handled the
disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

     

    15.           Voting
Rights.

     

    (a)           Subject
to terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) any Secured Party may, at
its option, and with 2 Business Days prior notice to any Grantor, and in
addition to all rights and remedies available to Secured Parties under any other
agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, and all
other ownership or consensual rights in respect of the Pledged Interests owned
by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is any Secured Party obligated by
the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if such Secured
Party duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each
Grantor hereby appoints such Secured Party as such Grantor’s true and lawful
attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any
manner that such Secured Party deems advisable for or against all matters
submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or
members, as the case may be.  This power-of-attorney granted pursuant
to this Section 15 is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until
this Agreement is terminated.

     

    (b)           For
so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned
by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior
written consent of Secured Parties, vote or take any consensual action with
respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially or adversely affect the
rights of Secured Parties exercising the voting rights owned by such Grantor or
the value of the Pledged Interests.

     

    16.           Remedies.  Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

     

    
      
         

      

      
        20

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (a)           Any
Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Transaction Documents, or
otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on
default under the Code or any other applicable law.  Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such
event, any Secured Party without any demand, advertisement, or notice of any
kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private
sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands,
advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent
permitted by the Code or by any other applicable law), may take immediate
possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to,
and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request
of such Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by such Secured Party and make it available to such Secured Party at
one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii)
without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part
thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of such Secured
Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as
such Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable.  Each Grantor
agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10
days notice to any Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable
“authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611
of the Code.  No Secured Party shall be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Any
Secured Party 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.

     

    (b)           Each
Secured Party is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without
liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s labels, Patents,
Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks,
service marks and advertising matter, URLs, domain names, industrial designs,
other industrial or intellectual property or any property of a similar nature,
whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights
under license, sublicense, or other agreements (but only to the extent (i) such
license, sublicense or agreement does not prohibit such use by such Secured
Party and (ii) such Grantor will not be in default under such license,
sublicense, or other agreement as a result of such use by such Secured Party),
as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale
and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all
franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of such Secured
Party.

     

    (c)           Any
cash held by any Secured Party as Collateral and all proceeds received by any
Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured
Obligations in the order set forth in Section 17 hereof. In the event the
proceeds of Collateral are insufficient for the Satisfaction in Full of the
Secured Obligations (as defined below), each Grantor shall remain jointly and
severally liable for any such deficiency.

    

      
        
           

        

        
          21

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    
      (d)           Each
Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a
commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing any Secured Party shall have the right to an immediate writ of
possession without notice of a hearing.  Each Secured Party shall have
the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each
Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment
and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to
have a bond or other security posted by any Secured Party.

       

      (e)           Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Secured Party agrees that it
will not exercise any remedy provided for under this Agreement with respect to
all or any portion of the Collateral unless such Secured Party is a Permitted
Secured Party (provided that the foregoing shall not prevent any Secured Party
from commencing or participating in any Insolvency Proceeding or taking any
action (other than with respect to the Collateral) to enforce the payment or
performance of any Grantors’ obligations under any of the Notes, Guaranties or
other Transaction Documents).  This Section 16(e) is not intended to
confer any rights or benefits upon Grantors, or any of them, or any other Person
except Secured Parties, and no Person (including any or all Grantors) other than
Secured Parties shall have any right to enforce any of the provisions of
this Section 16(e). As between Grantors, or any of them, and any Secured
Party, any action that such Secured Party may take under this Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been authorized and approved by the other Secured
Parties.

       

      17.           Priority of Liens;
Application of Proceeds of Collateral.  Each Secured Party
hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the time or order of the
filing of any financing statement or other registration or document with respect
to the Collateral and the Security Interests, or any provision of this
Agreement, any other Security Document, the Code or other applicable law, solely
as amongst the Secured Parties, the separate Security Interests of the Secured
Parties shall have the same rank and priority; provided, that, the foregoing
shall not apply to any Security Interest of a Secured Party that is void or
voidable as  a matter of law.  In furtherance thereof, all
proceeds of Collateral received by any Secured Party shall be applied as
follows:

       

      (a)           first, ratably to pay
any expenses due to any of the Secured Parties (including, without limitation,
the reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by any Secured Party to
correct any default under or enforce any provision of the Transaction Documents,
or after the occurrence of any Event of Default in gaining possession of,
maintaining, handling, preserving, storing, shipping, selling, preparing for
sale, or advertising to sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof,
irrespective of whether a sale is consummated) or indemnities then due to any of
the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents, until paid in
full;

       

      (b)           second, ratably to
pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Secured Parties under the
Transaction Documents, until paid in full;

       

      (c)           third, ratably to pay
interest due in respect of the Secured Obligations then due to any of the
Secured Parties, until paid in full;

      
        
           

        

        
          22

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (d)           fourth, ratably to
pay the principal amount of all Secured Obligations then due to any of the
Secured Parties, until paid in full;

       

      (e)           fifth, ratably to pay
any other Secured Obligations then due to any of the Secured Parties;
and

       

      (f)           sixth, to Grantors or
such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

       

      18.           Remedies
Cumulative.  Each right, power, and remedy of any Secured Party
as provided for in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power,
or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and
the exercise or beginning of the exercise by any Secured Party, of any one or
more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or
later exercise by such Secured Party of any or all such other rights, powers, or
remedies.

       

      19.           Marshaling. No
Secured Party shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances
of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such
collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and
all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral
security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to
all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the
extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke
any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or
impede the enforcement of any Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this
Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the
Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding
or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is
otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby
irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
            23

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      20.           Acknowledgment.

       

      (a)           Each
Secured Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that no other Secured Party has
agreed to act for it as an administrative or collateral agent, and each Secured
Party is and shall remain solely responsible for the attachment, perfection and
priority of all Liens created by this Agreement or any other Security Document
in favor of such Secured Party.  No Secured Party shall have by reason
of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document an agency or fiduciary
relationship with any other Secured Party.  No Secured Party (which
term, as used in this sentence, shall include reference to each Secured Party’s
officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and affiliates and to the
officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of such Secured Party’s
affiliates) shall: (i) have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Security Documents or
(ii) be required to take, initiate or conduct any enforcement action
(including any litigation, foreclosure or collection proceedings hereunder or
under any of the other Security Documents).  Without limiting the
foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against
any other Secured Party as a result of such Secured Party acting or refraining
from acting hereunder or under any of the Security Documents except as a result
and to the extent of losses caused by such Secured Party’s actual gross
negligence or willful misconduct (it being understood and agreed by each
Secured Party that the delivery by any Significant Secured Party of one or more
Veto Notices shall not be deemed to be or construed as gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Secured Party delivering any such Veto
Notice).  No Secured Party assumes any responsibility for any failure
or delay in performance or breach by any Grantor or any Secured Party of
its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document.  No Secured Party makes to any other Secured Party any
express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to any
Secured Obligations, Collateral, Transaction Document or Grantor.  No
Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents
shall be responsible to any other Secured Party or any of its officers,
directors, employees, attorneys or agents for: (i) any recitals,
statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any of the
Transaction Documents or in any certificate or other document furnished pursuant
to the terms hereof; (ii) the execution, validity, genuineness,
effectiveness or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents;
(iii) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value,
sufficiency or existence of any Collateral, or the attachment, perfection or
priority of any Lien therein; or (iv) the assets, liabilities, financial
condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of
any Grantor or any Account Debtor.  No Secured Party nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall have any obligation to
any other Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any
default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Grantor
of any of the duties or agreements of such Grantor under any of the Transaction
Documents or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any of
the Transaction Documents.

       

      (b)           Each
Secured Party hereby acknowledges and represents that it has, independently and
without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such documents,
information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis of each Grantor and its own decision to enter into the Transaction
Documents and to purchase the Notes, and each Secured Party has made such
inquiries concerning the Transaction Documents, the Collateral and each Grantor
as such Secured Party feels necessary and appropriate, and has taken such care
on its own behalf as would have been the case had it entered into the
Transaction Documents without any other Secured Party.  Each Secured
Party hereby further acknowledges and represents that the other Secured Parties
have not made any representations or warranties to it concerning any Grantor,
any of the Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability
of any of the Transaction Documents.  Each Secured Party also hereby
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other
Secured Parties, and based upon such financial statements, documents and
information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon
its own credit decisions in taking or refraining to take any other action
under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.  No Secured Party
shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any other Secured Party with
any notices, reports or certificates furnished to such Secured Party by any
Grantor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition, business or assets of any Grantor (or any of its affiliates) which
may come into possession of such Secured Party.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          24

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      21.           Indemnity and
Expenses.

       

      (a)           Without
limiting any obligations of Parent under the Securities Purchase Agreement, each
Grantor agrees to indemnify all Secured Parties from and against all claims,
lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of
or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement) or
any other Transaction Document, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking
indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the Satisfaction in Full of the
Secured Obligations.

       

      (b)           Grantors,
jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to each Secured Party all of the
reasonable costs and expenses which such Secured Party may incur in connection
with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation,
use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from,
or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement
of any of the rights of such Secured Party hereunder or (iv) the failure by any
Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

       

      22.           Merger, Amendments;
Etc.  THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER TRANSACTION
DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES SOLELY WITH
RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE
PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent
to any departure by any of Grantors herefrom, shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Secured Party, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given, provided that any party may give a waiver
in writing as to itself. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall
be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Secured
Party and each Grantor to which such amendment applies.

       

      23.           Addresses for
Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder (a) shall be given in the form and manner set forth in the Securities
Purchase Agreement and (b) shall be delivered, (i) in the case of notice to any
Grantor, by delivery of such notice to Parent at Parent’s address specified in
the Securities Purchase Agreement or at such other address as shall be
designated by Parent in a written notice to each of the Secured Parties in
accordance with the provisions thereof, and (ii) in the case of notice to any
Secured Party, by delivery of such notice to such Secured Party at its address
specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement or at such other address as shall
be designated by such Secured Party in a written notice to Parent and each other
Secured Party in accordance with the provisions thereof.  For the
avoidance of doubt, the Foreign Subsidiaries, as Grantors, hereby irrevocably
appoint the Parent as its agent for receipt of service of process and all

      24.           Separate, Continuing
Security Interests; Assignments under Transaction
Documents.  This Agreement shall create a separate, continuing
security interest in the Collateral in favor of each Secured Party and shall (a)
remain in full force and effect until Satisfaction in Full of the Secured
Obligations, (b) be binding upon each of Grantors, and their respective
permitted successors and permitted assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and
be enforceable by, the Secured Parties and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may, in accordance with the provisions
of the Transaction Documents, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of
its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise. Upon
Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations, the Security Interests granted
hereby and pursuant to the other Security Documents shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled
thereto. At such time, each Secured Party will authorize the filing of
appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security
Interests.  No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or
termination of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any other
instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to any Secured
Party nor any additional loans made by any Secured Party to any Grantor, nor the
taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to
Grantors, or any of them, by any Secured Party, nor any other act of Secured
Parties, or any of them, shall release any of Grantors from any obligation,
except a release or discharge executed in writing by all Secured
Parties.  No Secured Party shall by any act, delay, omission or
otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder,
unless such waiver is in writing and signed by such Secured Party and then only
to the extent therein set forth.  A waiver by any Secured Party of any
right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise
of any such right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have had on
any other occasion.

       

      25.           Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall
be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper; provided, however, that any
suit seeking enforcement against any Collateral or other property may be
brought, at any Secured Party’s option, in the courts of any jurisdiction where
such Secured Party elects to bring such action or where such Collateral or other
property may be found.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action
or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Grantor other than Parent hereby irrevocably appoints Parent
as such Grantor’s agent for purposes of receiving and accepting any service of
process hereunder or under any of the other Security
Documents.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any
way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE
ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

      26.           Miscellaneous.

       

      (a)           This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In
the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an
e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed
signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation
of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof. Any
party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other
electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed
counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Security Document mutatis
mutandis.

       

      (b)           Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

       

      (c)           Headings
used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in
connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof.

       

      (d)           The
pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both
singular and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform
thereto.

       

      (e)           The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will
be applied against any party. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part
of this Agreement.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          27

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (f)           Unless
the context of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document clearly requires
otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the
singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and  “including” are
not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the
inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,”
“herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document refer to this Agreement or such other Transaction
Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of
this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, as the case may
be.  Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references
herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.  Any
reference in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document to any
agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments,
changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions,
joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any
restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions,
modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements
set forth herein). “Satisfaction in Full of the Secured
Obligations” shall mean the indefeasible payment in full in cash and
discharge, or other satisfaction in accordance with the terms of the Transaction
Documents and discharge, of all Secured Obligations in full. Any reference
herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s permitted
successors and permitted assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein
or in any other Transaction Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a
Record and any Record so transmitted shall constitute a representation and
warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained
therein.

       

      (g)           All
dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all
amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be
paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be
converted in the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange
Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to
any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this
Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal
on the relevant date of calculation.

      AGREEMENTS

       

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantors hereby agree as
follows:

       

      1.      
      DEFINED
TERMS.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings given to them in the Security Agreement.

       

      2.     
       GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
IN COPYRIGHT COLLATERAL.  Each Grantor hereby grants to each
Secured Party, subject to Permitted Liens, a continuing first priority (or
second priority, to the extent such Collateral is subject to a Permitted Lien
with respect to the Senior Indebtedness ) security interest in all of such
Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether
presently existing or hereafter created or acquired (collectively, the “Copyright
Collateral”):

       

      (a)           all
of each Grantor’s Copyrights and Copyright Intellectual Property Licenses to
which it is a party including those referred to on Schedule
I hereto;

       

      (b)           all
reissues, continuations or extensions of the foregoing; and

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            
            

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      (c)           all
products and proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by such Grantor
against third parties for past, present or future infringement or dilution of
any Copyright or any Copyright licensed under any Intellectual Property
License.

       

      3.     
      SECURITY FOR
OBLIGATIONS.  This Copyright Security Agreement and the
Security Interests created hereby secures the payment and performance of all the
Secured Obligations, whether now existing or arising
hereafter.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this
Copyright Security Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute
part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Grantors, or any of them,
to Secured Parties, or any of them, whether or not they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any
Grantor.

       

      4.  
         SECURITY
AGREEMENT.  The security interests granted pursuant to this
Copyright Security Agreement are granted in conjunction with the security
interests granted to Secured Parties pursuant to the Security
Agreement.  Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the
rights and remedies of Secured Parties with respect to their respective security
interests in the Copyright Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set
forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are
incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.

       

      5.   
         AUTHORIZATION TO
SUPPLEMENT.  To the extent required under the Security
Agreement, Grantors shall give Secured Parties prompt notice in writing of any
additional copyright registrations or applications therefor after the date
hereof. Grantors hereby authorize Secured Parties unilaterally to modify this
Agreement by amending Schedule
I to include any future registered copyrights or applications therefor of
Grantors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this
Copyright Security Agreement or amend Schedule
I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from any Secured Party’s
continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule
I.

       

      6.      
      COUNTERPARTS.  This
Copyright Security Agreement may be executed in two or more identical
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format
(.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a
valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page
were an original thereof.  In proving this Copyright Security
Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any judicial proceedings, it

      PATENT SECURITY
AGREEMENT

       

      This
PATENT SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Patent Security Agreement”) is
made this 26th day of
May 2010, by the Grantors listed on the signature pages hereof (collectively,
jointly and severally, “Grantors” and each
individually “Grantor”),
in favor of the Secured Parties under and as defined in the below-described
Security Agreement.

       

      RECITALS

       

      WHEREAS,
pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 26, 2010
(as may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to
time, including all schedules thereto, collectively, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and
among Paradigm Holdings, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Parent”), and each of the
Secured Parties, Parent has agreed to sell, and each of the Secured Parties have
each agreed to purchase, severally and not jointly, certain Notes;
and

       

      WHEREAS,
in order to induce each of the Secured Parties to purchase, severally and not
jointly, the Notes as provided for in the Securities Purchase Agreement,
Grantors have executed and delivered to each of the Secured Parties that certain
Security Agreement of even date herewith (including all annexes, exhibits or
schedules thereto, as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified, the “Security Agreement”);
and

       

      WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Security Agreement, Grantors are required to execute and deliver
to each of the Secured Parties this Patent Security Agreement.

       

      AGREEMENTS

       

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantors hereby agree as
follows:

       

      8.      
      DEFINED
TERMS.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings given to them in the Security Agreement.

       

      9.      
      GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
IN PATENT COLLATERAL.  Each Grantor hereby grants to each
Secured Party, subject to Permitted Liens, a continuing first priority (or
second priority, to the extent such Collateral is subject to a Permitted Lien
with respect to the Senior Indebtedness ) security interest in all of such
Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether
presently existing or hereafter created or acquired (collectively, the “Patent
Collateral”):

       

      (a)           all
of its Patents and Patent Intellectual Property Licenses to which it is a party
including those referred to on Schedule
I hereto;

       

      (b)           all
reissues, continuations or extensions of the foregoing; and

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            
            

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      (c)           all
products and proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by such Grantor
against third parties for past, present or future infringement or dilution of
any Patent or any Patent licensed under any Intellectual Property
License.

       

      10.           SECURITY FOR
OBLIGATIONS.  This Patent Security Agreement and the Security
Interests created hereby secures the payment and performance of all the Secured
Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Patent Security Agreement secures
the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Secured Obligations and
would be owed by Grantors, or any of them, to Secured Parties, or any of them,
whether or not they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of
an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Grantor.

       

      11.           SECURITY
AGREEMENT.  The security interests granted pursuant to this
Patent Security Agreement are granted in conjunction with the security interests
granted to Secured Parties pursuant to the Security Agreement.  Each
Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of Secured
Parties with respect to their respective security interests in the Patent
Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the Security
Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference
herein as if fully set forth herein.

       

      12.           AUTHORIZATION TO
SUPPLEMENT.  If any Grantor shall obtain rights to any new
patentable inventions or become entitled to the benefit of any patent
application or patent for any reissue, division, or continuation, of any patent,
the provisions of this Patent Security Agreement shall automatically apply
thereto. To the extent required under the Security Agreement, Grantors shall
give prompt notice in writing to Secured Parties with respect to any such new
patent rights.  Without limiting each Grantor’s obligations under this
Section 5, Grantors hereby authorize Secured Parties unilaterally to modify this
Agreement by amending Schedule
I to include any such new patent rights of
Grantors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this
Patent Security Agreement or amend Schedule
I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from any Secured Party’s
continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule
I.

       

      13.           COUNTERPARTS.  This
Patent Security Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts,
all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf)
file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an
original thereof. In proving this Patent Security Agreement or any other
Transaction Document in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to
produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party
against whom such enforcement is sought.

      14.           CONSTRUCTION.  Unless
the context of this Patent Security Agreement or any other Transaction Document
clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular,
references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes”
and  “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where

similar terms in this Patent Security Agreement or any other Transaction
Document refer to this Patent Security Agreement or such other Transaction
Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of
this Patent Security Agreement or such other Transaction Document, as the case
may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are

reference in this Patent Security Agreement or in any other Transaction Document
to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations,
amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements,
substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable
(subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes,
extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and
supplements set forth herein). Any reference herein to any Person shall be
construed to include such Person’s permitted successors and permitted assigns.
Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Transaction
Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any Record so
transmitted shall constitute a representation and warranty as to the accuracy
and completeness of the information contained therein. The language used in this
Patent Security Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will
be applied against any party. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part
of this Patent Security Agreement.

      RECITALS

       

      WHEREAS,
pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 26, 2010
(as may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to

and

       

      WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Security Agreement, Grantors are required to execute and deliver
to each of the Secured Parties this Trademark Security Agreement.

       

      AGREEMENTS

       

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantors hereby agree as
follows:

       

      15.           DEFINED
TERMS.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings given to them in the Security Agreement.

       

      16.           GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
IN TRADEMARK COLLATERAL.  Each Grantor hereby grants to each
Secured Party, subject to Permitted Liens, a continuing first priority (or
second priority, to the extent such Collateral is subject to a Permitted Lien
with respect to the Senior Indebtedness ) security interest in all of such
Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether
presently existing or hereafter created or acquired (collectively, the “Trademark
Collateral”):

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
            
            

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      (a)           all
of its Trademarks and Trademark Intellectual Property Licenses to which it is a
party including those referred to on Schedule
I hereto;

       

      (b)           all
goodwill, trade secrets, proprietary or confidential information, technical
information, procedures, formulae, quality control standards, designs, operating
and training manuals, customer lists, and other General Intangibles with respect
to the foregoing;

       

      (c)           all
reissues, continuations or extensions of the foregoing;

       

      (d)           all
goodwill of the business connected with the use of, and symbolized by, each
Trademark and each Trademark Intellectual Property License; and

       

      (e)           all
products and proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by such Grantor
against third parties for past, present or future (i) infringement or dilution
of any Trademark or any Trademark licensed under any Intellectual Property
License or (ii) injury to the goodwill associated with any Trademark or any
Trademark licensed under any Intellectual Property License.

       

      17.           SECURITY FOR
OBLIGATIONS.  This Trademark Security Agreement and the
Security Interests created hereby secures the payment and performance of all the
Secured Obligations, whether now existing or arising
hereafter.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this
Trademark Security Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute
part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Grantors, or any of them,
to Secured Parties, or any of them, whether or not they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any
Grantor.

       

      18.           SECURITY
AGREEMENT.  The security interests granted pursuant to this
Trademark Security Agreement are granted in conjunction with the security
interests granted to Secured Parties pursuant to the Security
Agreement.  Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the
rights and remedies of Secured Parties with respect to their respective security
interests in the Trademark Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set
forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are
incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.

       

      19.           AUTHORIZATION TO
SUPPLEMENT.  If any Grantor shall obtain rights to any new
trademarks, the provisions of this Trademark Security Agreement shall
automatically apply thereto. To the extent required under the Security
Agreement, Grantors shall give prompt notice in writing to Secured Parties with
respect to any such new trademarks or renewal or extension of any trademark
registration.   Without limiting each Grantor’s obligations under
this Section 12, Grantors hereby authorize Secured Parties unilaterally to
modify this Agreement by amending Schedule
I to include any such new trademark rights of
Grantors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this
Trademark Security Agreement or amend Schedule
I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from any Secured Party’s
continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule
I.

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
            2

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      20.           COUNTERPARTS.  This
Trademark Security Agreement may be executed in two or more identical
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format
(.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a
valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page
were an original thereof. In proving this Trademark Security Agreement or any
other Transaction Document in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be
necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the
party against whom such enforcement is sought.

       

      21.           CONSTRUCTION.  Unless
the context of this Trademark Security Agreement or any other Transaction
Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the
singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes”
and  “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where
otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase
“and/or.”  The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and
similar terms in this Trademark Security Agreement or any other Transaction
Document refer to this Trademark Security Agreement or such other Transaction
Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of
this Trademark Security Agreement or such other Transaction Document, as the
case may be.  Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit
references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any
reference in this Trademark Security Agreement or in any other Transaction
Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all
alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals,
replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as
applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments,
changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions,
joinders, and supplements set forth herein). Any reference herein to any Person
shall be construed to include such Person’s permitted successors and permitted
assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any
Record so transmitted shall constitute a representation and warranty as to the
accuracy and completeness of the information contained therein. The language
used in this Trademark Security Agreement will be deemed to be the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party. For clarification purposes, the
Recitals are part of this Trademark Security Agreement.

consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

     

    1.           Definitions. All
capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings given them in the Security Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    2.           Guaranteed
Obligations.
Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty
to Purchaser the due and punctual Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed
Obligations (as defined below). “Guaranteed Obligations” means,
collectively, all of the present and future payment and performance obligations
of each Obligor arising under the Securities Purchase Agreement, any and all
Notes payable to Purchaser, the Security Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses and any interest, fees, or expenses that accrue after the filing of an
Insolvency Proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in whole or in
part as a claim in any Insolvency Proceeding.

     

    3.           Guarantors’ Representations
and Warranties.  Each
Guarantor represents and warrants to Purchaser that such Guarantor expects to
derive substantial benefits from the purchase by Purchasers of the Notes and the
other transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents.
Purchaser may rely conclusively on a continuing warranty, hereby made, that such
Guarantor continues to be benefited by this Guaranty and Purchaser shall have no
duty to inquire into or confirm the receipt of any such benefits, and this
Guaranty shall be effective and enforceable by Purchaser without regard to the
receipt, nature or value of any such benefits.

     

    4.           Unconditional
Nature. No act
or thing need occur to establish any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, and no act
or thing, except Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined
below), shall in any way exonerate any Guarantor hereunder or modify, reduce,
limit or release any Guarantor’s liability hereunder. This is an absolute,
unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations
and shall continue to be in force and be binding upon each Guarantor until
Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that
this Guaranty is a guaranty of Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed
Obligations and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Guaranty
shall be primary, absolute and unconditional.  In addition to the terms set
forth herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that, if, at maturity and at
any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding amount
of the Guaranteed Obligations under the Transaction Documents (including,
without limitation, all accrued interest thereon, all accrued late charges
thereon and all premiums due in respect thereof) is declared to be immediately
due and payable, then Guarantors shall, upon notice of such acceleration,
without further demand, pay to Purchaser the entire outstanding Guaranteed
Obligations due and owing to Purchaser.

     

    5.           Subrogation. No
Guarantor will exercise or enforce any right of contribution, reimbursement,
recourse or subrogation available to such Guarantor as to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or against any Person liable therefor, or as to any collateral
security therefor, unless and until Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

     

    6.           Enforcement
Expenses. Each
Guarantor shall pay or reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable costs, expenses
and attorneys’ fees paid or incurred by Purchaser in endeavoring to collect and
enforce the Guaranteed Obligations and in enforcing this Guaranty.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    7.           Obligations
Absolute.  Each
Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute,
independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other
than Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the
foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees
that none of its obligations hereunder shall be affected or impaired by any of
the following acts or things (which Purchaser is expressly authorized to do,
omit or suffer from time to time, without consent or approval by or notice to
any Guarantor): (a) any acceptance of collateral security, guarantors,
accommodation parties or sureties for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(b) one or more extensions or renewals of the Guaranteed Obligations
(whether or not for longer than the original period) or any modification of the
interest rates, maturities, if any, or other contractual terms applicable to any
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any amendment or modification of any of the
terms or provisions of any of the Transaction Documents; (c) any waiver or
indulgence granted to Parent or any other Obligor, any delay or lack of
diligence in the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any failure to
institute proceedings, file a claim, give any required notices or otherwise
protect any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any full or partial release
of, compromise or settlement with, or agreement not to sue, Parent, any other
Obligor or any other Person liable in respect of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (e) any release, surrender, cancellation or other discharge of
any evidence of the Guaranteed Obligations or the acceptance of any instrument
in renewal or substitution therefor; (f) any failure to obtain collateral
security (including rights of setoff) for the Guaranteed Obligations, or to see
to the proper or sufficient creation and perfection thereof, or to establish the
priority thereof, or to preserve, protect, insure, care for, exercise or enforce
any collateral security; or any modification, alteration, substitution,
exchange, surrender, cancellation, termination, release or other change,
impairment, limitation, loss or discharge of any collateral security;
(g) any collection, sale, lease or disposition of, or any other foreclosure
or enforcement of or realization on, any collateral security; (h) any
assignment, pledge or other transfer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
evidence thereof; (i) any manner, order or method of application of any
payments or credits upon the Guaranteed Obligations or (j) Purchaser not being a
Permitted Secured Party. Each Guarantor waives any and all defenses and
discharges available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation
co-obligor.

     

    8.           Waivers by
Guarantors.  Each
Guarantor waives any and all defenses, claims, setoffs and discharges of, and/or
against, Parent, or any other Obligor or Person (including, without limitation,
Purchaser), pertaining to the Guaranteed Obligations, except the defense of
discharge by indefeasible satisfaction and discharge in full.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Guarantor will assert, plead or
enforce against any Purchaser any defense of waiver, release, discharge or
disallowance in any Insolvency Proceeding, statute of limitations, res judicata,
statute of frauds, anti-deficiency statute, fraud, incapacity, minority, usury,
illegality or unenforceability which may be available to Parent or any other
Obligor or Person liable in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
setoff available to any Purchaser against Parent or any other such Obligor or
Person, whether or not on account of a related transaction.  Each
Guarantor expressly agrees that such Guarantor shall be and remain liable for
any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of any mortgage or security interest
securing the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not the liability of Parent or
any other Obligor or Person for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to
statute or judicial decision.  The liability of each Guarantor shall
not be affected or impaired by, and each Guarantor waives and agrees it shall
not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner clam or take the benefit of,
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets, marshalling of assets and
liabilities, any valuation, appraisal, stay, receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar event or
proceeding affecting, Parent or any of its assets.  No Guarantor will
assert, plead or enforce against any Purchaser any claim, defense or setoff
available to such Guarantor against Parent.  Each Guarantor waives
presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor or nonpayment and protest of
any instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations. Purchaser shall not be
required first to resort for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to Parent or
any other Person, or their properties, or first to enforce, realize upon or
exhaust any collateral security for the Guaranteed Obligations, before enforcing
this Guaranty.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    9.           If Payments Set Aside,
etc.  If
any payment applied by Purchaser to the Guaranteed Obligations is thereafter set
aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason
(including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of
Parent or any other Obligor or Person), the Guaranteed Obligations to which such
payment was applied shall for the purpose of this Guaranty be deemed to have
continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this Guaranty
shall be enforceable as to such Guaranteed Obligations as fully as if such
application had never been made.

     

    10.         Additional Obligation of
Guarantors. Each
Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is in addition to and shall be
cumulative with all other liabilities of such Guarantor to Purchaser as
guarantor, surety, endorser, accommodation co-obligor or otherwise of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, without any limitation as to amount.

     

    11.         No Duties Owed by
Purchaser.  Each
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser (a) has not made any
representations or warranties with respect to, (b) does not assume any
responsibility to such Guarantor for, and (c) has no duty to provide
information to such Guarantor regarding, the enforceability of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or the financial condition of Parent or any other Obligor
or Person. Each Guarantor has independently determined the creditworthiness of
Parent and the enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations and until
Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations will independently and
without reliance on Purchaser continue to make such determinations.

     

    12.          Miscellaneous

     

    (a)           This
Guaranty may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In
the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an
e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed
signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation
of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof. Any
party delivering an executed counterpart of this Guaranty by facsimile or other
electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Guaranty but the failure to deliver an original executed
counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Guaranty.

     

    (b)           Any
provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (c)           Headings
used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not be used in
connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof.

     

    (d)           The
pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both
singular and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform
thereto.

     

    (e)           Unless
the context of this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document clearly requires
otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the
singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and  “including” are
not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the
inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.”  The words
“hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Guaranty or
any other Transaction Document refer to this Guaranty or such other Transaction
Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of
this Guaranty or such other Transaction Document, as the case may
be.  Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references
herein are to this Guaranty unless otherwise specified.  Any reference
in this Guaranty or in any other Transaction Document to any agreement,
instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes,
extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and
supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on
such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals,
replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). “Satisfaction in Full of the
Guaranteed Obligations” shall mean the indefeasible payment in full in
cash and discharge, or other satisfaction in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents and discharge, of all Guaranteed Obligations in full.
“Satisfaction in Full of the
Secured Obligations” shall mean the indefeasible payment in full in cash
and discharge, or other satisfaction in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents and discharge, of all Secured Obligations in full. Any
reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s
permitted successors and permitted assigns.

     

    (f)           This
Guaranty shall be effective upon delivery to Purchaser, without further act,
condition or acceptance by Purchaser, shall be binding upon each Guarantor and
the successors and assigns of each Guarantor, and shall inure to the benefit of
Purchaser and its participants, successors and assigns. This Guaranty may not be
waived, modified, amended, terminated, released or otherwise changed except by a
writing signed by each Guarantor and Purchaser.

    

    (g)           The
language used in this Guaranty will be deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will
be applied against any party. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part
of this Guaranty.

    (h)           All
dollar amounts referred to in this Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) are in United States Dollars
(“U.S. Dollars”), and
all amounts owing under this Guaranty and all other Transaction Documents shall
be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be
converted in the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange
Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to
any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this
Guaranty, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal
on the relevant date of calculation.

    

    (i)           Judgment
Currency.

     

    (i)           If
for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Guarantor in any
court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other
currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 12(i) referred
to as the “Judgment
Currency”) an amount due in U.S. Dollars under this Guaranty or any other
Transaction Document, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate
prevailing on the Trading Day (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)
immediately preceding: (1) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the
case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other
jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date or
(2) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any
proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such
conversion is made pursuant to this Section 12(i)(i) being hereinafter referred
to as the “Judgment Conversion
Date”).

     

    (ii)           If
in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in
Section 12(i)(i) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing
between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the
amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be
necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when
converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce
the amount of U.S. Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of
Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange
Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

     

    (iii)           Any
amount due from any Guarantor under this provision shall be due as a separate
debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts
due under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Transaction
Document.

     

    13.           Notices.  All
notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the
form and manner, and delivered to such addresses, as specified in the Security
Agreement.

    14.           Governing Law; Jurisdiction;
Service of Process; Jury Trial. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Guaranty shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or
rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would
cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of
New York. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought
in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper; provided, however, any suit seeking enforcement of this Guaranty may
be brought, at Purchaser’s option, in the courts of any jurisdiction where
Purchaser elects to bring such action. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
address for such notices to it under this Guaranty and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints
Parent as such Guarantor’s agent for purposes of receiving and accepting any
service of process hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit
in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE
ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
