In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) and various ancillary certificates, disclosure schedule and exhibits in support thereof, each dated June 14, 2011.

The following is a brief summary of each of those agreements.
