(b)          default in the observance or performance of any covenant set forth herein; or

(c)          any representation or warranty made by the Pledgor herein, or in any statement or certificate furnished by it pursuant hereto, shall be false in any material respect as of the date of the issuance or making thereof; or

(d)          default in the observance or performance of any terms or provisions of any mortgage, security agreement or any other instrument or document securing any Secured Obligations or setting forth terms and conditions applicable thereto or otherwise relating thereto which default continues unremedied beyond any period of grace expressly applicable thereto, or this Pledge Agreement or any such other mortgage, security agreement, instrument or document shall for any reason not be or shall cease to be in full force and effect or any of the foregoing is declared to be null and void; or

(e)          default shall occur under any evidence of indebtedness issued, assumed or guaranteed by the Pledgor or under any indenture, agreement or other instrument under which the same may be issued, and such default shall continue for a period of time sufficient to permit the acceleration of the maturity of any such indebtedness (whether or not such maturity is in fact accelerated), or any such indebtedness shall not be paid when due (whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise); or

(f)           any judgment or judgments, writ or writs, or warrant or warrants of attachment, or any similar process or processes shall be entered or filed against the Pledgor or against any of their property or assets and which remains unvacated, unbonded, unstayed or unsatisfied for a period of 30 days; or

(g)          any Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Note) occurs or any default occurs under the Note Documents (it being expressly understood and agreed by Pledgor that any such default under the Note Documents shall, without any notice or opportunity to cure other than as expressly set forth in the such Note Document, constitute an Event of Default hereunder even if (i) such particular default is not otherwise enumerated hereunder or (ii) Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to notice and cure under this Section 4 with respect to such default).

5.            Remedies on Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may exercise any or all of the rights and remedies provided by this Pledge Agreement, and/or by any other applicable law, including without limitation (i) require Pledgor to, and Pledgor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place and time to be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (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 the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, and (iii)(A) exercise any and all rights of Pledgor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Receivables, the related contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to accounts that constitute part of the Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables, the related contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may sell the Collateral or any part thereof, without recourse to judicial proceedings, with the right to bid for and buy, free from any right of redemption, upon ten (10) days’ notice (which notice is agreed to be reasonable notice for the purposes hereof) to the Pledgor, of the time and place of sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at Secured Party’s option and in Secured Party’s complete discretion:

(a)          at a public sale, including a sale at any broker’s board or exchange;

(b)          at private sale in any commercially reasonable manner which will not require the Collateral, or any part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other law or regulation. Secured Party is also hereby authorized, but not obligated, to take such actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as it may deem required or appropriate in the event of sale or disposition of any of the Collateral.

Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Pledgor 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. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The 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.

6.            Taxes. Pledgor shall pay promptly, when due, any and all property taxes, excise taxes (however called) and other taxes, assessments, duties and other charges, which, if unpaid, might by law or otherwise become a lien or charge upon the Collateral (including any and all interest, penalties and related provisional fees) imposed, levied or assessed against the Collateral, or upon or measured by the use, ownership, possession or operation thereof, or in respect to this Pledge Agreement or the security interest in the Collateral granted and conveyed herein.

7.            Pledgor’s Failure to Pay Taxes and Other Items. If Pledgor fails to make any payment or do any act required of it under this Pledge Agreement, then Secured Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon three (3) days’ written notice to Pledgor, and without releasing Pledgor from any obligation under this Pledge Agreement, to make or do the same, and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any lien which in Secured Party’s judgment places its security interest in the Collateral or Pledgor’s title to the Collateral in jeopardy, and in exercising any such rights, to expend whatever reasonable amounts Secured Party in its sole discretion may deem necessary therefor. Any amounts expended by Secured Party pursuant to this Section 7 shall be a demand obligation owing by Pledgor, which shall bear interest from the date Secured Party expends such amount until repaid at the Default Rate.

8.            Further Assurances. Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Pledgor, Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary, or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by Pledgor hereunder or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor will promptly with respect to Collateral: (i) authorize the Secured Party to file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted by Pledgor hereunder; and (ii) deliver to the Secured Party evidence that all other actions that the Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary in order to perfect and protect the security interest granted or purported to be granted by Pledgor under this Agreement have been taken.

9.            Indemnification. Pledgor agrees to indemnify Secured Party and each Buyer of, for, from and against all losses, claims, demands and liabilities of every kind and nature arising by reason of the assignment and security interest granted in the Collateral, excluding any of the same arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party, and agrees to pay all expenses, including, without limitation, expert witness fees and attorney’s fees, incurred by Secured Party or any Buyer in the preservation, realization, enforcement or exercise of any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

10.          Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby appoints Secured Party as Pledgor’s Attorney-in-Fact (without imposing any obligations on Secured Party), to perform all acts which Secured Party deems appropriate to perfect and continue the security interest granted hereunder (the “Power of Attorney”). The Power of Attorney granted herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until this Pledge Agreement shall be terminated by Secured Party.
