This Note is offered and issued pursuant to the Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) which is incorporated herein by reference as if set out in full and is made a part hereof, and if there is any conflict between the terms of this Note and the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall govern. Terms not defined in this Note shall have the definitions ascribed to them in the Agreement.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to ______________________, or its registered assigns and successors (the “Holder”) in accordance with the Agreement and the terms hereof the principal sum of $__________________ (“Principal Amount”) plus all of the accrued interest noted herein and all other amounts owing pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and this Note. will be due and payable by the Company on January __, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”) or such earlier date as this Note is required or permitted to be repaid as provided hereunder, and to pay interest to the Holder on the then outstanding principal amount of this Note in accordance with the provisions hereof. All payments under or pursuant to this Note shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, in United States Dollars in immediately available funds to the Holder at the address of the Holder set forth in the Agreement or at such other place as the Holder may designate from time to time in writing to the Company or by wire transfer of funds to the Holder’s account as instructed in writing by the Holder. All payments received by the Holder will be applied first to any expenses to which it is entitled, then to accrued Interest (and/or Default Interest), and any remainder applied to the unpaid principal amount. Whenever any payment hereunder is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment will be made on the immediately following Business Day. Upon payment in full of the outstanding principal balance of this Note and all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon and other Obligations hereunder or upon the conversion of all Obligations hereunder, this Note will be automatically cancelled. This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

EXHIBIT B

Section 1. Definitions.

For the purposes hereof, in addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Note, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

Section 2. Interest.

(a) Interest Calculations. Interest shall be calculated at the rate of eight present (8.0%), unless the Default Interest Rate (defined below) is applicable, on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve thirty (30) calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the date of this Note (“Interest”), until payment in full or conversion of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, expenses, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due hereunder (the “Obligation”), has been made. Interest shall cease to accrue on the Conversion Date with respect to the Obligation converted, provided that the Company actually delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required by Section 3(c)(i) herein.

(b) Default Interest Rate. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8 hereof, this Note shall accrue interest at an annual interest rate of fifteen percent (15%) (the “Default Interest Rate” being “Default Interest”).

(c) Prepayment or Payment at Maturity. Except as provided for herein upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company may prepay any portion of the principal amount, plus all accrued and unpaid Interest and all other Obligations of this Note, or repay the Obligations of this Note at Maturity, without premium or penalty and without the prior written consent of the Holder, provided however, that the Company must give the Holder not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of any prepayment intention in order to provide the Holder with the opportunity to convert the Obligations of this Note as provided herein.

Section 3. Conversion.

(a) Optional Conversion. Either on or before the Maturity Date at any time after a Qualifying Transaction (“Conversion Date”), at the discretion of the Holder, the Holder may elect, upon written notice to the Company as set forth in Annex B, to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount of the Note, plus all then accrued and unpaid Interest, into Conversion Shares of the Company at the Conversion Price as set forth in the Agreement.

(b) Conversion Warrants. Upon conversion of the Note by Holder, the Company shall issue to Holder a Warrant to purchase the Common Stock of the Company as set forth in the Agreement(the “Warrant Shares”).

EXHIBIT B

(i) Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion; Payment of Transfer Taxes. Not later than three (3) Business Days after the Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares. If Conversion Shares are to be issued in the name of a Person other than the present Holder, the Holder will pay all transfer taxes payable with respect thereto and will deliver the Note for cancellation. No fee will be charged to the Holder for any conversion, except for such transfer taxes, if any. In lieu of issuing fractional Conversion Shares upon conversion of all or any portion of this Note, the Company shall pay cash in an amount equal to the product of the then applicable Conversion Price Per Conversion Share and the number of fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable hereunder. If less than all of the outstanding principal amount of this Note is converted pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and this Note, the Company will additionally deliver to the Holder an amended and restated Note, containing an original principal amount equal to that portion of the then-outstanding principal amount not converted containing the other terms and provisions of this Note and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Upon the conversion of this Note, all rights of the Holder, except the right to receive the Conversion Shares in accordance with the Agreement and this Note, will cease as to that portion of the Note so converted and this Note will no longer be deemed to be outstanding as to that portion of the Note so converted.

(ii) Failure to Deliver Certificates. If, upon conversion pursuant to Section 3(a), such Conversion Share certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company.

(iii) Obligation Absolute. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder.

(d) Adjustment . The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note or any portion thereof (or any shares of stock or other securities or property at the time receivable or issuable upon conversion of this Note or any portion thereof) and the Conversion Price Per Share therefor are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of any of the following events between the Original Issue Date and the date that all Obligations hereunder are repaid or this Note is converted into Conversion Shares:

EXHIBIT B

(i) The Conversion Price Per Share of this Note will be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding Conversion Shares. In case of any reorganization, reclassification or similar event involving the Company (or of any other corporation the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the conversion of this Note) after the Original Issue Date, or in case, after such date, the Company (or any such corporation) shall consolidate with or merge with another entity, then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon the conversion of this Note at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger, will be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the conversion of this Note prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note, and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) will be made in the application of the provisions in this Section with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note. The successor or purchasing corporation in any such reorganization, consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) will duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement hereto reasonably acceptable to the Holder acknowledging such entity’s obligations under this Note and, in each such case, the terms of the Note will be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the conversion of this Note after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger. (iii) In case all the authorized Conversion Shares of the Company is converted, pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, into other securities or property, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder, upon conversion of this Note at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so converted or ceases to exist (the “Termination Date”), will receive, in lieu of the number of Conversion Shares that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date (the “Former Number of Conversion Shares”), the stock and other securities and property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the Termination Date if the Holder had converted this Note with respect to the Former Number of Conversion Shares immediately prior to the Termination Date (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note). The Company will, at its expense, cause an authorized officer promptly to prepare a written certificate showing each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price Per Share or the number of Conversion Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Note and cause such certificate to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the notice provisions of the Agreement. The certificate will describe the adjustment or readjustment and include a description in reasonable detail of the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based. The form of this Note need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Conversion Price Per Share or in the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon its conversion.

Section 4. Tax Treatment. The Holder and the Company agree to treat this Note and the Obligations evidenced hereby as Indebtedness for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes.

Section 5. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of this Note as set forth in the Agreement.

Section 6. Ranking. The Obligations of the Company under this Note shall be senior to all other existing and future indebtedness and equity of the Company. Upon any Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined), the Holder will be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment is made upon, or set apart with respect to, any indebtedness of the Company or any class of capital stock of the Company, an amount equal to the outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (if any) plus all expenses due hereunder. For purposes of this Note, “Liquidation Event” means a liquidation pursuant to a filing of a petition for bankruptcy under applicable law or any other insolvency or debtor’s relief, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company.

Section 7. Secured Note. The full Principal Amount of this Note, all accrued and unpaid Interest and all expenses and other Obligations due and payable hereunder is secured by the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) identified and described as security therefor in the Security Agreement (as amended and in effect from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Holder and dated the date of this Note as set forth in Annex A hereto which is incorporated herein and made a part hereof (“Security Agreement”).

Any acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion, may exercise or otherwise enforce any one or more of the Holder’s rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests under this Note, the Agreements, the other transaction documents and applicable law.

This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company. The Company will not by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, willfully avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note against wrongful impairment. The Company shall not set-off any amounts due under this Note. The obligations of the Company and the Holder set forth herein shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each such party, whether or not such successors or assigns are permitted by the terms herein.

(c) Lost or Mutilated Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Note, a new Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Company as set forth in the Agreement.

(d) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. This Note shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing this Note to be drafted. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any action or proceeding relating to the enforcement or interpretation of this Note by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

(e) Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one (1) or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing and signed by the waiving party. The Company hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest and all other demands’ and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, AND DOES HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. The Company further acknowledges that the transaction of which this Note is a part is a commercial transaction, and to the extent allowed by applicable law, hereby waives its right to notice and hearing with respect to any prejudgment remedy which the Holder or its successors or assigns may desire to use.

(f) Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate permitted by law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

EXHIBIT B

(g) Additional Provisions Regarding Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

(h) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(i) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

Executed counterparts of this Note may be delivered by facsimile transmission or by delivery of a scanned counterpart in portable document format (PDF) by e-mail.

If any, all required consents (including, without limitation, from stockholders or creditors of any Debtor) necessary for any Debtor to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder have been obtained.

(g) Debtor shall at all times maintain the liens and Collateral provided for hereunder as valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Parties until this Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder shall be terminated pursuant to Section 14 hereof. Each Debtor hereby agrees to defend the same against the claims of any and all Persons and entities. Each Debtor shall safeguard and protect all Collateral and hold it in trust for the account of the Secured Parties. At the request of the Collateral Agent, Debtor will sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at any time or from time to time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Collateral Agent to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Collateral hereunder, and Debtor shall obtain and furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to maintain the priority of the Collateral hereunder.

(h) Debtor will not transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by a Debtor in its ordinary course of business and sales of inventory by a Debtor in its ordinary course of business) without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest.

EXHIBIT B

(j) Debtor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to the Collateral, including Collateral hereafter acquired, against loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured against by entities of established reputation having similar properties similarly situated and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by other such entities and otherwise as is prudent for entities engaged in similar businesses but in any event sufficient to cover the full replacement cost thereof. Each Debtor shall cause each insurance policy issued in connection herewith to provide, and the insurer issuing such policy to certify to the Collateral Agent, that (a) the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties will be named as lender loss payee and additional insured under each such insurance policy; (b) if such insurance be proposed to be cancelled or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Collateral Agent for at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, unless the effect of such change is to extend or increase coverage under the policy; and (c) the Collateral Agent will have the right (but no obligation) at its election to remedy any default in the payment of premiums within thirty (30) days of notice from the insurer of such default at the expense of the Debtor. If no Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) exists and if the proceeds arising out of any claim or series of related claims do not exceed $100,000, loss payments in each instance will be applied by the applicable Debtor to the repair and/or replacement of property with respect to which the loss was incurred to the extent reasonably feasible, and any loss payments or the balance thereof remaining, to the extent not so applied, shall be payable to the applicable Debtor; provided, however, that payments received by any Debtor after an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or in excess of $100,000 for any occurrence or series of related occurrences shall be paid to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and, if received by Debtor, shall be held in trust for the Secured Parties and immediately paid over to the Collateral Agent unless otherwise directed in writing by the Collateral Agent.

(k) Debtor shall, within ten (10) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the Secured Parties promptly, in sufficient detail, of any material adverse change in the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the Secured Parties’ security interest, through the Collateral Agent, therein.

(l) Debtor shall permit the Collateral Agent and its representatives and agents to inspect the Collateral during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, and to make copies of records pertaining to the Collateral as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent from time to time.

(m) Debtor shall, sua sponte, take all steps reasonably necessary to diligently pursue and seek to preserve, enforce and collect any rights, claims, causes of action and accounts receivable in respect of the Collateral without the need for a request therefore from the Collateral Agent.

EXHIBIT B

(n) Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Parties in sufficient detail upon becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process levied against any Collateral and of any other information received by Debtor that may materially affect the value of the Collateral, the Security Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and shall promptly take all necessary or appropriate action to remediate, mitigate or eliminate such adverse action at its own expense.

(o) All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Secured Parties by or on behalf of Debtor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date furnished.

(r) Debtor, in its capacity as issuer, hereby agrees to comply with any and all orders and instructions of Collateral Agent regarding the Collateral consistent with the terms of this Agreement without the further consent of any Debtor as contemplated by Section 8-106 (or any successor section) of the UCC. Further, Debtor agrees that it shall not enter into a similar agreement (or one that would confer “control” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC) with any other Person or entity.

(s) Debtor shall cause all tangible chattel paper constituting Collateral to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, or, if such delivery is not possible, then to cause such tangible chattel paper to contain a legend noting that it is subject to the security interest created by this Agreement. To the extent that any Collateral consists of electronic chattel paper, the applicable Debtor shall cause the underlying chattel paper to be “marked” within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC (or successor section thereto).

(t) Debtor shall immediately provide written notice to the Secured Parties of any and all accounts which arise out of contracts with any governmental authority and, to the extent necessary to perfect or continue the perfected status of the Collateral in such accounts and proceeds thereof, shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment of claims for such accounts and cooperate with the Collateral Agent in taking any other steps required, in its judgment, under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar federal, state or local statute or rule to perfect or continue the perfected status of the Collateral in such accounts and proceeds thereof.

(u) Debtor will from time to time, at the joint and several expense of the Debtor, promptly execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents, and take all such further action as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder and with respect to any Collateral or to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If any provision of this Agreement shall at any time for any reason be declared to be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by any Debtor, or a proceeding shall be commenced by any Debtor, or by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over any Debtor, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or any Debtor shall deny that any Debtor has any liability or obligation purported to be created under this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise all rights with respect to the Collateral as it were the sole and absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, to vote and/or to exchange, at its sole discretion, any or all of the Collateral in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other readjustment concerning or involving the Collateral or any Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.

(iii) The Collateral Agent shall have the right to operate the business of Debtor using the Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to any Debtor or right of redemption of a Debtor, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of any Debtor, which are hereby waived and released.

(iv) The Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify any account debtors and any obligors under instruments or accounts to make payments directly to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and to enforce the Debtor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Debtor shall remain liable under each of the accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Unless the Collateral Agent has expressly in writing assumed the obligations and liabilities with respect thereto, and released the Debtors therefrom, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Debtor under or pursuant to any account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Debtor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied.

(vi) The Collateral Agent may (but is not obligated to) transfer any or all Intellectual Property registered in the name of any Debtor at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or Copyright Office into the name of the Secured Parties or any designee or any purchaser of any Collateral.

a. The Collateral Agent shall comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such warranties. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Debtor will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser. In addition, Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.

b. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to further exercise rights and remedies under this Section 8 or elsewhere provided by agreement or applicable law, Debtor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Debtor) to use, license or sublicense following an Event of Default, any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by Debtor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

EXHIBIT B

(vii) Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder or from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring any portion of the Collateral shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in enforcing the Secured Parties’ rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations pro rata among the Secured Parties (based on then-outstanding principal amounts of Notes at the time of any such determination), and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Parties shall pay to the applicable Debtor any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Debtors will be personally liable, jointly and severally, for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 15% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees and expenses of any attorneys employed by the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Parties as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(viii) Securities Law Provision. Each Debtor recognizes that Collateral Agent may be limited in its ability to effect a sale to the public of all or part of the Pledged Securities by reason of certain prohibitions in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other federal or state securities laws (collectively, the “Securities Laws”), and may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a restricted group of purchasers who may be required to agree to acquire the pledged securities set forth in Schedule A (the “Pledged Securities”) for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor agrees that sales so made may be at prices and on terms less favorable than if the Pledged Securities were sold to the public, and that Collateral Agent has no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to register the Pledged Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Laws. Each Debtor shall cooperate with Collateral Agent in its attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws (including, without limitation, registration thereunder if requested by Collateral Agent) applicable to the sale of the Pledged Securities by Collateral Agent.

(ix) Costs and Expenses. Each Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements pursuant to the UCC, continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Collateral Agent. The Debtor shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent is reasonably likely to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Collateral therein. The Debtor will also, upon demand, pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and Collateral Agents, which the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may incur in connection with the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure, collection or enforcement of the Security Interest and the preparation, administration, continuance, amendment or enforcement of this Agreement and pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and Collateral Agents, which the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Secured Parties may incur in connection with: (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Parties under the Notes. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Notes and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

EXHIBIT B

(x) Responsibility for Collateral. The Debtor assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party (i) has any duty (either before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral, or (ii) has any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and (b) Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent or to which the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times.

(xi) Collateral Absolute. All rights of the Secured Parties and all obligations of the Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Notes or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Purchase Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guarantee, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Parties to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to a Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part of the Collateral granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Parties shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. Each Debtor expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Parties hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Parties, then, in any such event, Debtor’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Each Debtor waives all right to require the Secured Parties to proceed against any other person or entity or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Parties may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. Each Debtor waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.

(xii) Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Collateral shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Notes have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other Obligations under the Purchase Agreement have been paid or discharged; provided, however, that all indemnities of the Debtor contained in this Agreement shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.

(xvi) Appointment of Collateral Agent. The Secured Parties may appoint a Person to act on their behalf with respect to the Collateral pledged hereby (the “Collateral Agent”) and any action to be taken hereunder by the Secured Parties may be taken by the Collateral Agent on their behalf and in their place and stead without further action on the part of the Secured Parties.
