          4. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the Noteholders:

          7. Effect of Collateral Assignment and Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent and the Noteholders may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company expressly agrees that in such event the Agent may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or may forthwith sell, lease, assign or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or at its offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and the Agent shall apply the net proceeds (after expenses) of any such sale, lease, assignment or other disposition against the Company’s Obligations in such order as the Agent in its sole discretion shall determine and the Company shall remain liable for any deficiency thereon; provided, however, that, in applying the net proceeds of any such sale or disposition, the Agent shall allocate the proceeds thereof pro rata among the Noteholders on the basis of the principal amount of each Note then outstanding. The Agent and the Noteholders shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity or redemption in the Company, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived and released. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages and demands against the Agent and the Noteholders arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. The Company agrees that the Agent need not give more than ten days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matter.

          (b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Company hereby authorizes the Agent to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of the Agent as the Agent may select, in the Agent’s sole discretion, as the Company’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power; (i) to endorse the Company’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary or desirable for the Agent in the use of Collateral; (ii) to notify any licensee of the Company that such licensee should make future payments under the license directly to the Agent; (iii) to take any other actions with respect to the Collateral as the Agent and the Noteholders deem to be in their best interest; and (iv) to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Collateral to any Person. The Company hereby approves and ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Agreement. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable until all of the Company’s Obligations have been paid in full and all of the financing arrangements between the Company and the Agent and the Noteholders have been terminated. The Company agrees that, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Agent and the Noteholders in this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and any other Loan Document, the Agent and the Noteholders shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief, and the Company further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with the obtaining of any such specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief.

          8. Release of Collateral. The Agent and the Noteholders hereby agrees that if the Company proposes to sell any of the Collateral other than in the ordinary course of business, the Agent and the Noteholders will release their interests in such Collateral and will sign any documents and take any further action necessary to effectuate such release upon payment of 90% of the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of such Collateral, up to the full amount of the Company’s Obligations to the Noteholders. It is agreed that the Company may

          9. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and the Noteholders from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) sustained, suffered or incurred by the Agent and the Noteholders arising out of, with respect to, or resulting from any commercially reasonable exercise by the Agent and the Noteholders of their rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, after a default by the Company, the exercise by the Agent and the Noteholders of their rights to sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or sell and otherwise dispose of the Collateral. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Agent and the Noteholders to enforce their rights in the Collateral, the Company will save, indemnify and hold the Agent and Noteholders harmless from and against all expenses, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of any third party, arising out of a breach by the Company of any obligation or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such third party or its successors from the Company; provided that the Company shall have no obligation under this Section 9 to indemnify any Person under this Agreement for liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or arising from the breach by any such Person of its obligations under applicable law ( including the obligation to act in a commercially reasonable manner in the disposition of certain Collateral).

          10. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

          11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section Headings, etc. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. All references to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

          13. No Waiver: Cumulative Remedies. The Agent and the Noteholders shall not by any act (except a written instrument pursuant to Section 14 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of the terms an conditions hereof. A waiver by the Agent or the Noteholders of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent and the Noteholders would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Agent and the Noteholders any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other-right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by the Purchase Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable law.

This Agreement and all obligations of the Company hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Noteholders hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Noteholders and their successors and assigns, provided that the Company may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.
