SECTION 8. REMEDIES

Subject to the limitations imposed under a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default, Lender, at its option, may declare the Note and all of the other Secured Obligations to be accelerated and immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Sections 7.4, 7.5 or 7.9, the Note(s) and all of the other Secured Obligations shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable without any further act), whereupon the unpaid principal of and accrued interest on such Note(s) and all other outstanding Secured Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, and shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate set forth in, and calculated according to, Section 2.4 (c) of this Agreement. Lender may pursue all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Note Documents or otherwise available to it under applicable law, including the right to release, hold or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral.

Subject to the limitations imposed under a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, upon the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may then, or at any time thereafter and from time to time, apply, collect, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Lender may elect, and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere. Borrower agrees that any such public or private sale may occur upon ten (10) calendar days' prior written notice to Borrower. Lender may require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower. Subject to the terms of a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by Lender in the following order of priorities:

First, to Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full Lender's costs and professionals' and advisors' fees and expenses;

Second, to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations in such order and priority as Lender may choose in its sole discretion; and

Finally, upon payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations, to Borrower or their representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under Section 9-207 of the UCC.

Lender's rights and remedies hereunder are subject to the terms of a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 CONTINUATION AND TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. This is a continuing Agreement and the grant of a security interest hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and all the rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder shall continue to exist until the Secured Obligations are paid in full as the same become due and payable and until Lender has executed a written termination statement (which Lender shall execute within thirty (30) days after full payment of the Secured Obligations hereunder or within 10 days upon request of Parent), reassigning to Borrower, without recourse, the Collateral and all rights conveyed hereby and returning possession of the Collateral to Borrower. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The pursuit of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and remedies of Lender. When all Secured Obligations have been paid in full and discharged, all security interests and other Liens granted to Lender under this Agreement will terminate. Upon the full and final discharge of all of the Secured Obligations, Lender will execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably necessary and requested by Parent to release the Collateral from the security interest and Lien granted to Lender in this Agreement, and return (or cause to be returned) to Borrower any Collateral in the possession of Lender or its agents.

9.2 SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

9.3 NOTICE. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices and service of process required, contemplated, or permitted hereunder or with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered upon the earlier of: (i) the first business day after transmission by facsimile or hand delivery or deposit with an overnight express service or overnight mail delivery service; or (ii) the third calendar day after deposit in the United States mails, with proper first class postage prepaid, and shall be addressed to the party to be notified as follows:

or to such other address as each party may designate for itself by like notice.

9.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, the Note(s), and the other Note Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including, without limitation, Lender's proposal letter dated April 22, 1999), all of which are merged herein and therein. None of the terms of this Agreement, the Note(s) or any of the other Note Documents may be amended except by an instrument executed by each of the parties hereto.

9.5 HEADINGS. The various headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

9.6 NO WAIVER. The powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. No omission, or delay, by Lender at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by any Borrower at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Lender is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Lender to enforce such provisions thereafter.

9.7 SURVIVAL. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Note(s) and the other Note Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement.

9.8 SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrowers and their permitted assigns (if any). No Borrower shall not assign its obligations under this Agreement, the Note(s) or any of the other Note Documents without Lender's express written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Subject to a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, Lender may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Note Documents without prior notice to Borrowers, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Lender's successors and assigns; provided, however, that any such successors or assigns shall be bound by and expressly assume all obligations under the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement.

9.9 FURTHER INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.10 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, the Note(s) and the other Note Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Lender in the State of New York, and shall not become effective until accepted by Lender in the State of New York. This Agreement, the Note and the other Note Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.

9.11 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE. All judicial proceedings arising in or under or related to this Agreement, the Note(s) or any of the other Note Documents may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in New York County in the State of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to personal jurisdiction in New York County, State of New York; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in New York County, State of New York; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement, the Note(s) or the other Note Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.3, above and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.3, above. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

9.12 MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws.

BORROWER AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, "CLAIMS") ASSERTED BY A BORROWER AGAINST LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AND/OR BY LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST A BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including any other Claims which involve Borrower and Lender and additional persons or entities; Claims which arise out of or are in any way related to the relationship between Borrower and Lender and other persons or creditors under the Note Documents; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract arising out of this Agreement, any other Note Document, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind.

9.13 CONFIDENTIALITY. Lender acknowledges that certain items of Collateral, including, but not limited to trade secrets, source codes, customer lists and certain other items of Intellectual Property, and any Financial Statements provided hereunder, constitute proprietary and confidential information of the Borrower (the "Confidential Information"). Accordingly, Lender agrees that any Confidential Information it may obtain in the course of acquiring, perfecting or foreclosing on the Collateral or otherwise provided under this Agreement, provided such Confidential Information is marked as confidential by Borrower at the time of disclosure, shall be received in the strictest confidence and will not be disclosed to any other person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of such Borrower, unless and until Lender has acquired indefeasible title thereto.

9.14 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

9.15 FOLLOW-ON NOTES. The parties hereto agree that the Parent may issue the Follow-On Notes prior to December 31, 2015 in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate TWO MILLION, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,200,000) provided that the purchaser/s of such Follow-On Notes (the “Follow-On Purchaser/s”) agree to the terms of this Agreement. In such instance, the Follow-On Notes will rank pari passu with the Note and the Follow-On Purchaser/s will have all the rights granted to the Lender hereunder (without need for amendment) with the exception that, as long as the Note is outstanding, it shall be in the Lender’s sole discretion to declare an Event of Default hereunder or to exercise any rights hereunder. By purchasing the Follow-On Notes, the Follow-On Purchaser/s irrevocably grant the Lender, so long as the Note is outstanding, a power-of-attorney to take all actions on its behalf under this Agreement and will refrain from taking any actions under this Agreement without being instructed to do so by the Lender.

9.16 GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATIONS. The Borrower and Lender agree that in the event that the Borrower identifies a party that will become, or has identified, a Senior Creditor and Senior Debt to Lender, Borrower and Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement with such Senior Creditor.
