Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On September 3, 2024, Ondas Networks Inc. (“Networks”), a subsidiary of Ondas Holdings Inc. (the "Company"), entered into that certain Security Note Agreement (the "Agreement"), by and among Networks, as borrower, and Charles & Potomac Capital, LLC, an entity affiliated with Joseph Popolo, a director of the Company, as lender ("C&P"), pursuant to which, Networks may draw, and C&P shall loan Networks, up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the "Secured Loan"). Any additional draw following the Initial Draw (as defined below) shall be entirely subject to C&P’s sole discretion. Pursuant to the Agreement, Networks issued C&P a secured note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), which amount may be increased or decreased by the mutual written agreement of the parties thereto (the "Note"). The Note (i) bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, (ii) has a maturity date of February 28, 2025, and (iii) is secured by all assets of Networks. Pursuant to the Agreement, Networks issued C&P a warrant to purchase shares of preferred stock of Networks, $0.00001 par value per share.

On September 3, 2024, Networks issued a certain request for draw in the principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Initial Draw”).

C&P previously purchased convertible notes of Networks in the aggregate original principal amount of $700,000 and $800,000, on July 8, 2024 and July 23, 2024, respectively, as disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 14, 2024.

WARRANT

September 3, 2024

Void After September 3, 2029

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Charles & Potomac Capital, LLC, or assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from Ondas Networks Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), the Calculated Amount of fully-paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares of the Company.

1. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

(a) “Calculated Amount” means the quotient, rounded down to the nearest whole number, of (i) $1,000,000 divided by (ii) the Conversion Price.

(b) “Common Stock” shall mean the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

(c) “Conversion Price” shall mean (i) an amount that is equal to the price per share of the Company’s most senior series of Preferred Stock issued to investors in the Company’ next equity financing following the date hereof, provided, that, if no subsequent equity financing resulting in the issuance of Preferred Stock occurs after the date hereof, then (ii) 41.3104.

(d) “Exercise Period” shall mean the period beginning on the date of issuance of this Warrant and ending five years after such date on September 3, 2029 (or if such date is not a business day, the next succeeding business day), unless sooner terminated as provided below.

(e) “Exercise Price” shall mean $20.65.

(f) “Preferred Stock” shall mean the Company’s Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

(g) “Sale of the Company” shall mean (i) a transaction or series of related transactions with one or more non-affiliates, pursuant to which such non-affiliate(s) acquires capital stock of the Company or the surviving entity, in either case, possessing the voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Company or the surviving entity (whether by merger, consolidation, sale or transfer of the Company’s outstanding capital stock or otherwise); or (ii) the sale, lease or other disposition (including exclusive license) of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or any other transaction resulting in all or substantially all of the Company’s assets being converted into securities of any other entity or cash; provided, however, that the sale by the Company of capital stock for the purpose of financing its business shall not be deemed to be a Sale of the Company.

(h) “Warrant Shares” shall mean the most recent series of shares of the Company’s most senior class of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (“Senior Preferred Stock”), with such most recent series determined as of the date of such exercise or other determination of amount payable with respect to this Warrant (e.g., the date of a future Sale of the Company), subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to adjustment pursuant to Section 6 below.

2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a) Method of Exercise. Subject to Section 3, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company:

(i) an executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;

(ii) this Warrant; and

(iii) Payment of the then-applicable Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant made in the form of cash, or by certified check, bank draft or money order payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

(b) Partial Exercise. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver, within 10 days of the date of exercise, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder, or such other person or persons as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise, to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. If the Holder exercises this Warrant or attempts to exercise this Warrant before the Company shall have delivered to the Holder a new Warrant as contemplated above, then the Holder shall be deemed to have validly exercised this Warrant without the need for compliance with the requirements of Section 2(a)(ii). In no event shall this Warrant be exercised for a fractional Warrant Share, and the Company shall not distribute a Warrant exercisable for a fractional Warrant Share. Fractional Warrant Shares shall be treated as provided in Section 8 hereof.

(c) Effect of Exercise. Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, shares of Senior Preferred Stock shall be issued for the Warrant Shares so purchased, and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or any other person or persons, if the Holder so designates, on or before the third (3rd) business day after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised and shall be issued in certificate or book-entry form with a restrictive legend notation as set forth in Section 5(d) and delivered to the Holder, if so requested. The person in whose name any Warrant Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of issuance of the shares of Senior Preferred Stock, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

3. VESTING. The Warrant Shares are fully vested and this Warrant is exercisable with respect to such Warrant Shares as of the date hereof.

4. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

(a) Covenants as to Warrant Shares. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Senior Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Senior Preferred Stock (or other securities as provided herein) to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

(b) Valid Issuance. The Company has taken, and shall take, all steps necessary to ensure that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is agreed and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares may be subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth in the Company’s Bylaws, as in effect from time to time.

(c) No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder or otherwise in accordance with Section 2 hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Formation (as such may be amended from time to time), or through any means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

(d) Notices of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time (a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon the Warrant Shares, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend; or (b) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its capital stock, then the Company shall give Holder at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date on which an action will be taken to effect any of the foregoing.

(e) Compliance with Law. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that any and all Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock and Senior Preferred Stock (or other securities then constituting Warrant Shares) may be listed at the time of such exercise (except, if applicable, for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

5. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.

(a) Investment Experience. The Holder (a) acknowledges that it has received all the information Holder has requested from the Company and Holder considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire this Warrant and the Warrant Shares, (b) represents that Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares and to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information given Holder, and (c) further represents that Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of this investment. Holder acknowledges that investment in this Warrant and the Warrant Shares involves a high degree of risk, and represents that Holder is able, without materially impairing Holder’s financial condition, to hold this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of Holder’s investment. Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(b) Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Warrant Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a present view toward the public distribution of said Warrant or Warrant Shares or any part thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing said Warrant or Warrant Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the sale or distribution of said Warrant or Warrant Shares, except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act. The Holder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Warrant except in accordance with the Securities Act (including any exemption from registration thereunder) and will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Warrant Shares except in accordance with the Securities Act (including any exemption from registration thereunder).

(i) The Holder understands that the offer and sale of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act on the basis that no distribution or public offering of such securities of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.

(ii) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares may have to be held indefinitely unless the resale thereof is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Warrant Shares, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.

(iii) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about the Company and the required holding period under Rule 144 being satisfied. Holder is aware that any such sale made in reliance on Rule 144, if Rule 144 is available, may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144.

(d) Disposition of Warrant and Warrant Shares. The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder may bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL (I) SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) THE ISSUER OF THE SECURITIES HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS THEREOF.

6. CHANGES IN OUTSTANDING SHARES. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock or Senior Preferred Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have been entitled to had the Warrant been exercised immediately before the event, only as provided for in Section 2(a)(iii), and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number, class, and kind of shares subject to this Warrant. The Company shall promptly provide a certificate from an authorized officer notifying the Holder in writing of any adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or the total number, class, and kind of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, which certificate shall specify the Exercise Price and number, class and kind of shares under this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment.

7. SALE OF THE COMPANY. In the event of a Sale of the Company, then the Company shall ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, only as provided for in Section 2(a)(iii), such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, only as provided for in Section 2(a)(iii), had such Sale of the Company not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any share of stock, securities or assets (including cash) thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect any Sale of the Company unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such Sale of the Company, or the entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, as the Holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 7 shall similarly apply to successive Sales of the Company.

8. FRACTIONAL SHARES, ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair value of a Warrant Share by such fraction. No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.0001; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 8 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the $0.0001 or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

9. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or, except as otherwise set forth herein, other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

10. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Senior Preferred Stock a number of shares equal to no less than 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock and Senior Preferred Stock issuable upon full exercise of the Warrant.

11. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder.

12. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of identical denomination, tenor and terms as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

13. MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVER. Provisions of this Warrant may be amended or modified, or a provision or requirement hereof waived, only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

14. NOTICES, ETC. Any notice required or permitted pursuant to this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered personally or sent by courier, overnight delivery service or confirmed email, or three business days after being deposited in the regular mail, as certified or registered mail (airmail if sent internationally), with postage prepaid, addressed to: (a) if to the Holder, the address of the Holder most recently furnished in writing to the Company (or, if no address has been furnished, the address of such Holder in the Company’s records); and (b) if to the Company, the address of the Company's corporate headquarters, Attention: Chief Executive Officer.

15. ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

16. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

17. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. The language in this Warrant shall be construed as to its fair meaning without regard to which party drafted this Warrant.

18. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which shall remain in full force and effect.

19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Warrant constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

SECURED NOTE AGREEMENT

This Secured Note Agreement (this “Secured Note Agreement” or “Agreement”) dated as of September 3, 2024 is entered into by and between Ondas Networks Inc., a Texas corporation (“Borrower”), and Charles & Potomac Capital, LLC (“Lender”).

On and subsequent to the Loan Closing Date, in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Secured Note Agreement, Lender may make advances to Borrower which shall be evidenced by the Note. Lender will fund a $1,000,000.00 advance on the Loan Closing Date (the “First Draw”) and any additional Draws following the First Draw are entirely subject to the Lender’s sole discretion. Any Draw paid to Borrower by Lender pursuant to this Secured Note Agreement shall be evidenced by the Note, the principal amount of which, together with interest, shall be paid to Lender as provided in the Note and this Secured Note Agreement. The principal amounts paid or distributed to or on behalf of Borrower by Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to as a “Draw.” The aggregate amount of all Draws shall not exceed the Credit Limit.

The first Draw Request included (i) the total requested draw amount (the “Requested Draw Amount”) for such Draw, (ii) a Flow of Funds Memorandum (the “Flow of Funds Memo”) attached hereto as Exhibit C detailing each recipient of the funds to be drawn, the amount of the payment going to such recipient, and the reason for the payment to such recipient (including reasonable support documentation), (iii) a certification by an officer of the Borrower that (A) the payment to each recipient is a proper use of the Draw pursuant to the Cash Uses Exhibit and this Agreement, (B) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement have been satisfied or, in Lender sole discretion, waived, (C) each of the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents is true and accurate in all material respects, and (D) no Default or event which would become a Default with notice or lapse of time has occurred or would occur after giving effect to the requested Draw.

(c) On the Loan Closing Date, Lender shall disburse the First Draw in accordance with the Flow of Funds Memo. The aggregate dollar amount of the First Draw shall not exceed the Credit Limit. Amounts repaid with respect to the Loan may not be reborrowed.

Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the order of Lender the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan together with all accrued interest thereon, and any and all other amounts which may become owing under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation or duplication, Transaction Expenses) (collectively, the “Loan Obligations”) when set forth in this Secured Note Agreement (or any other Loan Document (as defined below)), but not later than February 28, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) If the date on which any payment becomes due is not a business day, Borrower shall repay the applicable amount on the following business day. The date as of which all of the Loan Obligations have been indefeasibility paid in full is referred to herein as the “Termination Date.” Within two (2) business days following a written request from Borrower, Lender will provide Borrower a written payoff statement setting forth the sum of all outstanding Loan Obligations due as of Borrower’s requested payoff date, as well as draft release and termination documents with respect to the Loan Documents to be held in escrow pending Borrower’s full payment of the Loan Obligations.

(b) Optional Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the Loan Obligations in whole or in part of the unpaid sums borrowed hereunder from time to time without penalty or premium.

(d) Interest.

(i) Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum of the lesser of (i) eight percent (8.0%), and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law (the “Interest”). The Borrower shall pay all accrued Interest on the Maturity Date, on which date the Borrower may also be obligated to pay principal and Transaction Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, Interest shall accrue until the Termination Date. Accrued and unpaid Interest shall be added to the principal amount of the Loan on the Maturity Date, which shall thereafter be deemed principal bearing interest at the applicable rate.

(ii) At the election of Lender upon notice to Borrower at any time during which a Default remains unremedied for a period of at least 10 days, all outstanding Loan Obligations shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Interest rate plus 2.0% per annum (the “Default Rate”), such accrual being retroactive from the original date of the underlying Default.

(e) Calculation of Interest. Interest on the Loan will be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) computed on the basis of a 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be. All Interest determinations and calculations by Lender are presumptively correct absent manifest error.

(f) Security. The Loan Obligations shall be secured by, and the following shall be delivered to the Lender, on or prior to the Loan Closing Date (collectively, the “Collateral Documents,” and all assets upon which a lien is created pursuant to the Collateral Documents and securing the Loan Obligations are referred to as the “Collateral”):

(i) a security agreement entered into by the Borrower in favor of the Lender in respect of all assets of the Borrower; and

(ii) all other security documents, financing statements and other documentation filed or recorded in connection with the foregoing.

All Collateral Documents shall be satisfactory to Lender in Lender’s discretion. Borrower will execute and deliver any and all other documents and take all other action reasonably necessary or beneficial to provide Lender a first priority perfected security interest in all Collateral. This Secured Note Agreement, the Note, the Collateral Documents, and all other documents, certificates, financial statements, and other writings executed and delivered or to be executed and delivered by Borrower are the “Loan Documents.” The Collateral will be released and the security interest granted by this Secured Note Agreement will be terminated as of the Termination Date.

Any curing by Secured Party of an Obligor’s default under any of the Assigned Agreements shall not be construed as an assumption by Secured Party of any obligations, covenants or agreements of Obligor under such Assigned Agreements, and Secured Party shall not incur any liability to Obligor or any other Person as a result of any actions undertaken by Secured Party in curing or attempting to cure any such default.

3.7 Intellectual Property.

3.8 Commercial Tort Claims. Obligor agrees that, if it shall acquire any interest in any commercial tort claim (whether from another Person or because such commercial tort claim shall have come into existence), (a) Obligor shall, promptly upon such acquisition, deliver to Secured Party, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, a notice of the existence and nature of such commercial tort claim containing a reasonably specific description of such commercial tort claim, certified by Obligor as true and correct, (b) the provisions of this Article III (Grant of Security Interests) shall apply to such commercial tort claim (and Obligor authorizes Secured Party to supplement this Agreement with a description of such commercial tort claim if Obligor fails to deliver the notice described in clause (a)), and (c) Obligor shall execute and deliver to Secured Party, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, any certificate, agreement or other document, and take all other action, determined by Secured Party to be reasonably necessary or appropriate for Secured Party to obtain a first-priority (subject in priority only to Permitted Liens that are entitled to a higher priority under applicable Law than the Lien of Secured Party hereunder), perfected security interest in such commercial tort claim.

Article IV

(a) by notice to Borrower, declare any amounts payable by Borrower under the SNA to be due and payable immediately and thereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable upon such notice to Borrower but without presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding (provided that, if such Event of Default occurs under Section 7(a)(iv) of the SNA with respect to any Loan Party, all such amounts shall become automatically due and payable);

(b) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement and to enforce its rights hereunder by such appropriate judicial proceedings as it shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or otherwise, whether for specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in any of the Assigned Agreements (including specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained therein), or in aid of the exercise of any power therein or herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and sale under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by law and under the UCC;

(c) cause all revenues hereby included as Collateral and all other moneys and other property included as Collateral hereunder to be paid or delivered directly to it, and demand, sue for, collect and receive any such moneys and property;

(d) cause any action at law or suit in equity or other proceeding to be instituted and prosecuted to collect or enforce any obligation or right hereunder or included in the Collateral, including specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any Assigned Agreement, or to foreclose or enforce the security interest in all or any part of the Collateral granted herein, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by applicable Law;

(e) foreclose or enforce any other agreement or other instrument by or under or pursuant to which the Loan Obligations are issued or secured;

(f) incur expenses, including attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and other costs, appropriate to the exercise of any right or power of Secured Party under this Agreement;

(g) perform any obligation of Obligor hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which Obligor is a party or any Assigned Agreement, make payments, submit drawing certificates under any letter of credit included in the Collateral, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or other Lien on any of the Collateral, pay taxes and expenses relating to the Collateral, and insure, process and preserve the Collateral, without, in each case, any obligation to do so;

(h) in connection with any acceleration or foreclosure under the Loan Documents, take possession of the Collateral and of any and all books of account and records of Obligor relating to any of the Collateral and render it usable and repair and renovate the same without, however, any obligation to do so, and enter upon, or authorize its designated agent to enter upon, any location where any of the Collateral may be located for that purpose, and Secured Party and its representatives are hereby granted an irrevocable license to enter upon such premises for such purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease the Collateral, collect all rents and income from the Collateral and apply the same to reimburse Secured Party for any cost or expenses reasonably incurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and to the payment or performance of Borrower’s Loan Obligations or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to which Obligor is a party, including applying the balance to the Loans and other Loan Obligations of Borrower as provided for in the SNA and any remaining excess balance to whomsoever is legally entitled thereto;

(i) make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and extend the time of payment, arrange for payment installments, or otherwise modify the terms, of any Collateral;

(j) secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof, whether incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or otherwise, and all disbursements made by such receiver and the expenses of such receivership shall be added to and be made a part of the Loan Obligations, and, whether or not the sum of such disbursements and expenses plus the other Loan Obligations exceeds the indebtedness originally intended to be secured hereby, the entire amount of said sum, including such disbursements and expenses, shall be secured by this Agreement, and reimbursement by Obligor of such disbursements and expenses shall be due and payable upon demand therefor and thereafter shall bear interest, until paid, at the Default Rate or the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law, whichever is less;

(k) enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in exchange for, the Collateral or any part thereof;

(l) transfer the Collateral or any part thereof to the name of Secured Party or to the name of Secured Party’s nominee;

(m) take possession of and endorse in the name of Obligor or in the name of Secured Party, for the account of Obligor, any bills of exchange, checks, drafts, money orders, notes or any other chattel paper, documents or instruments constituting all or any part of the Collateral or received as interest, rent or other payment on or on account of the Collateral or any part thereof or on account of its sale or lease;

(n) appoint another Person (who may be an employee, officer or other representative of Secured Party) to do any of the foregoing, or take any other action permitted hereunder, as agent for or representative of, and on behalf of, Secured Party;

(o) execute (in the name, place and stead of Obligor) endorsements, assignments and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral;

(p) require Obligor to assemble the Collateral or any part thereof and to make the same (to the extent the same is moveable) available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to Obligor and Secured Party;

(q) make formal application for the transfer of all of any applicable Obligor’s permits, licenses and approvals included in the Collateral and relating to Obligor’s business to Secured Party, to any assignee of Secured Party or to any purchaser of any of the Collateral to the extent the same are assignable in accordance with their terms and applicable Law;

(r) sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral, or cause all or any part of the Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of, in one or more sales or transactions, at such prices as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, at any broker’s board or at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived, in which case such notice shall be in accordance with the provisions hereof to the extent permitted by applicable Law), it being agreed that Secured Party may be a purchaser on its own behalf at any such sale and that Secured Party or any other Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value of any or all of the Collateral so sold without notice of any claims shall thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption, of Obligor, any such right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable Law;

(s) require Obligor to take any actions that are necessary or appropriate to preserve the value of the Collateral and the validity, perfection or priority of the Liens granted by this Agreement in any portion of the Collateral, or to take any other action which Secured Party determines is necessary or desirable to protect or realize upon its security interest in the Collateral or any part thereof, and Obligor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Obligor’s attorney-in-fact (as set forth in Section 7.2 (Attorney-In-Fact)) to take any such action, including the execution and delivery of any and all documents or instruments related to the Collateral or any part thereof in Obligor’s name, and said appointment shall create in Secured Party a power coupled with an interest which shall be irrevocable; or

(t) exercise any other or additional rights or remedies granted to Secured Party under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or exercisable by a secured party under the UCC or under any other applicable Law.

5.2 Minimum Notice Period. If, pursuant to applicable Law, prior notice of any action described in Section 5.1 (Remedies Upon Event of Default) is required to be given to Obligor, Obligor hereby acknowledges that the minimum time required by such applicable Law, or, if no minimum time is specified, ten (10) business days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period.

5.3 Sale of Collateral. In addition to exercising the foregoing rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, arrange for and conduct the sale of the Collateral at a public or private sale (as Secured Party may elect) which sale may be conducted by an employee or representative of Secured Party, and any such sale shall be considered or deemed to be a sale made in a commercially reasonable manner. With respect to any public sales, Secured Party agrees to provide at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to Obligor specifying the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made and Obligor agrees that such ten (10) business days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notification (unless a longer notice period shall be required by applicable Law). Secured Party may release, temporarily or otherwise, to an Obligor any item of Collateral of which Secured Party has taken possession pursuant to any right granted to Secured Party by this Agreement without waiving any rights granted to Secured Party under this Agreement, the SNA, the other Loan Documents, or any other agreement related hereto or thereto. Obligor hereby waives all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshaling of assets or to require, upon foreclosure, sales of assets in a particular order. Each successor and assign of the Obligor, including a holder of a Lien subordinate to the Lien created hereby (without implying that Obligor has, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, a right to grant an interest in, or a subordinate Lien on, any of the Collateral), except as otherwise agreed between such successor or assign of Obligor and Secured Party, by acceptance of its interest or Lien agrees that it shall be bound by the above waiver, to the same extent as if such holder gave the waiver itself. If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Obligor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral, and Obligor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event Secured Party shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by Law or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Secured Party may bid all or less than the amount of the Loan Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Secured Party or any other party is the successful bidder, shall, absent fraud or gross negligence, be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Loan Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Loan Obligations. Obligor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws (collectively, the “Securities Laws”), Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral constituting “securities”, however defined in the Securities Laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Obligor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Secured Party than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

5.4 Costs and Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Secured Party in connection with any actions taken under Article V (Remedies upon an Event of Default) shall constitute Loan Obligations secured by this Agreement and shall be paid by the Obligor to Secured Party within five (5) business days after demand.

5.5 Actions Taken by Secured Party. Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any Assigned Agreement may be taken by Secured Party either in an Obligor’s name or in Secured Party’s name, as Secured Party may determine is necessary.

5.6 Private Sales. Secured Party shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Article V (Remedies upon an Event of Default) conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with the requirements of applicable Law. Obligor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Loan Obligations, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, if that private sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with applicable Law.

5.7 Waiver of Rights and Remedies Under Applicable Law. In exercising its right to take possession of the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party, personally or by its agents or attorneys, and subject to the rights of any tenant under any lease or sublease of the Collateral, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, may enter upon any land owned or leased by Obligor without being guilty of trespass or any wrongdoing, and without liability to Obligor for damages thereby occasioned.

5.8 Compliance With Limitations and Restrictions. Obligor hereby agrees that, in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, Secured Party is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Law, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental authority or official, and Obligor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall Secured Party be liable or accountable to Obligor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

5.9 No Impairment of Remedies. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, Secured Party shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, whether because of any applicable Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, Obligor hereby consents to such action by Secured party and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Secured Party shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation, indemnification or reimbursement which Obligor might otherwise have had but for such action by Secured Party or the terms herein. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against Obligor shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, impair Obligor’s obligation hereunder.

Article VI

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; COVENANTS

6.1 Representations and Warranties of Obligor. Obligor represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the date of each Draw to Secured Party as follows:

(a) The legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number and the mailing address of Obligor as of the date hereof are correctly set forth in Exhibit A. Obligor has not changed its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the UCC) or become a “new debtor” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(56) of the UCC) with respect to a currently effective security agreement previously entered into by any other Person except with respect to Permitted Liens.

(b) Except as specified in Exhibit A, Obligor has not (i) within the period of four (4) months prior to the date hereof, changed its “location” (as defined in Section 9-307 of the UCC), or (ii) heretofore changed its name or jurisdiction of formation within the past five (5) years.

(c) Obligor has not executed, and has no knowledge of, any effective financing statement, security agreement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The security interest in the Collateral granted to Secured Party under this Agreement constitutes as to personal property included in the Collateral, and, with respect to subsequently acquired personal property included in the Collateral, will constitute, a perfected and first priority (subject in priority only to Permitted Liens that are entitled to a higher priority under applicable Law than the Lien of Secured Party hereunder) security interest after the proper filing of the applicable UCC financing statement listed for Obligor to the extent a security interest in such personal property may be perfected by the filing of such financing statement.

(d) All of the material equipment and material inventory of Obligor, if any, (other than material equipment in transit, in the possession of third parties in the ordinary course of business or at another location being serviced or repaired) is in its exclusive possession and control and located at the address of Obligor set forth in Exhibit A.

(e) Reserved.

(f) Each representation and warranty of Obligor set forth under the Loan Documents to which it is a party is true and correct as of the date hereof (or if such representation and warranty relates solely as of an earlier date, as of such earlier date).

6.2 Covenants.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at Secured Party’s request, an Obligor shall promptly deliver to Secured Party, or provide to Secured Party access to, copies (or, where requested by Secured Party, and where available, originals) of any and all books and records relating to the Collateral.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at Secured Party’s request, any action or proceeding to enforce any Assigned Agreement in respect of an Obligor may be taken by Secured Party either in Obligor’s name or in Secured Party’s name, as Secured Party may deem necessary.

(c) Except to the extent the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,Obligor shall perform and comply with all obligations and conditions on its part to be performed hereunder, under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and under each of the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party.

(d) Without the prior written consent of Secured Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no Obligor will file or authorize to be filed in any jurisdiction with respect to the Collateral any financing statements under the UCC or any like statement in which Secured Party is not named as the sole secured party, other than in respect of any Permitted Liens.

(e) No Obligor shall, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens on or with respect to any part of the Collateral (other than Permitted Liens). Obligor will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take such action as may be necessary to discharge any such Liens that are not Permitted Liens.

(f) Except as otherwise permitted under the SNA, no Obligor will make any assignment of its rights under the Assigned Agreements other than any assignment pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(g) [Intentionally omitted].

(h) Reserved.

(i) Obligor will, prior to the Termination Date, defend its title to the Collateral and the interest of Secured Party in the Collateral against any claim or demand of any Persons.

(j) If Borrower receives any income or distribution of money or property of any kind in violation of this Agreement, Borrower shall hold such income or distribution as trustee for, and shall promptly deliver the same to, Secured Party.

(k) Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, or as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents to which it is a party, no Obligor shall terminate, modify or amend any Assigned Agreement to which it is a party in a manner materially adverse to Secured Party.

(l) To the extent not provided by an Obligor pursuant to any Loan Document to which it is a party, Obligor shall give to Secured Party prompt notice of (i) each material demand or material notice received or given by Obligor relating to any material Assigned Agreement to which it is a party, and (ii) any default or event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, might reasonably be expected to become a default under any Assigned Agreement to which it is a party, whether by Obligor or any other Person, and of which Obligor has knowledge or has received notice, to the extent such default or event could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Article VII

MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver.

7.1.1 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Secured Party hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or under any other Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Secured Party may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial proceedings, or both. If Secured Party may, under applicable Law, proceed to realize its benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document giving Secured Party a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by Obligor or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Secured Party may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of the rights and remedies of Secured Party under this Agreement.

7.1.2 Delay Not Waiver; Separate Causes of Action. No delay in exercising, and no omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to Secured Party upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy of Secured Party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any other breach or default thereafter occurring, and no waiver of any other breach or default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Secured Party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of Secured Party of any provision or condition of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. Each and every default by Obligor in payment or performance hereunder shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. Every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient or appropriate, by Secured Party upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

7.2 Attorney-In-Fact. Obligor hereby constitutes and appoints Secured Party, acting for and on behalf of itself and each successor or assign of Secured Party, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Obligor, with full power and authority in the place and stead of Obligor and in the name of Obligor, Secured Party or otherwise, subject to the terms of the SNA and the other Loan Documents, to enforce all rights, interests and remedies of Obligor with respect to the Collateral following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, including the right:

(a) to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of the Assigned Agreements or any of the other Collateral, including any insurance policies;

(b) to elect remedies thereunder and to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith;

(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings in connection therewith which Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion, to be necessary or advisable;

(d) to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be or become Liens against any or all of the Collateral, or any part thereof, unless a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party has been provided;

(e) to vote, demand, receive and enforce Obligor’s rights with respect to the Collateral;

(f) to do any and every act which Obligor might do on its behalf with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or all of Obligor’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Assigned Agreements;

(g) to preserve the validity, perfection and priority of the Liens granted to Secured Party by this Agreement or under any other Loan Documents;

(h) to, in the name of Obligor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of, receive and endorse and collect any check, account, chattel paper, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any account or general intangible included in the Collateral;

(i) to execute, in connection with any sale or disposition of the Collateral under Article V (Remedies upon an Event of Default), any endorsements, assignments, bills of sale or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any part of the Collateral;

(j) to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and on behalf of and in the name of Obligor or, at the option of Secured Party, in the name of Secured Party, with the same force and effect as Obligor could do if this Agreement had not been made; and

(k) upon foreclosure and to the extent provided herein or in any other Loan Document to which Obligor is a party, to do any and every act which Obligor may do on its behalf with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or all of Obligor’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Assigned Agreements;

provided, however, that Secured Party shall not exercise any of the aforementioned rights unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Obligor from, prior to the exercise by Secured Party of any of the aforementioned rights or remedies, undertaking Obligor’s operations subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Loan Documents. Pursuant to such power of attorney, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may, itself perform, or cause the performance of, any obligations of Obligor, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Obligor hereunder. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date. Obligor hereby approves, ratifies and confirms each lawful act and deed of or for Secured Party done or to be done pursuant to, and in accordance with, this appointment and applicable Law as the authorized act and deed of Obligor.

7.3 Perfection; Further Assurances; Certain Waivers.

7.3.1 Perfection.

(a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Obligor shall, to the extent that “control” (within the meaning of the applicable UCC) is required to afford Secured Party a first priority security interest in any Collateral, deliver to Secured Party all certificates or instruments evidencing such Collateral, and Secured Party shall have sole possession and control of such certificates and instruments until the Termination Date. All such certificates or instruments shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Secured Party. Secured Party shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without prior notice to an Obligor, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to transfer to, or to register in the name of, Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral and to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations; provided, however, that once such Event of Default has been waived pursuant to the terms of the SNA or has been cured or remedied or otherwise is no longer continuing, Secured Party will transfer to, or register in the name of, or cause its nominees to transfer to, or register in the name of, Obligor all such Collateral.

(b) Obligor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Obligor, Obligor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect, to ensure the continued perfection of, and to protect, the assignment and first-priority (subject in priority only to Permitted Liens that are entitled to a higher priority under applicable Law than the Lien of Secured Party hereunder) security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby in respect of Obligor or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Obligor shall: (i) deliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Secured Party, as Secured Party may reasonably request, or, if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, and “control” (within the meaning of the applicable UCC) of such promissory note or other instrument is required to afford Secured Party a first priority perfected security interest in any Collateral, deliver and pledge to Secured Party such promissory note or other instrument duly endorsed (without recourse) and accompanied by such duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, as Secured Party may reasonably request; (ii) authorize, execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or as Secured Party may reasonably request or as required by applicable Law, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby; and (iii) if Obligor shall at any time acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in the UCC, Obligor shall comply with Section 3.8 (Commercial Tort Claims).

(c) With respect to any deposit accounts and securities accounts (each as defined in the UCC) included in the Collateral, any applicable Obligor shall execute control agreements in form reasonably acceptable to Secured Party in order to perfect and protect the security interest in such Collateral.

7.3.2 Filing of Financing and Continuation Statements. Obligor hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, or any similar document in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to Secured Party herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of the Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to Secured Party herein, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property”, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wherever located. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Secured Party shall have no responsibility for the preparing, recording, filing, re-recording, or re-filing of any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument in any public office.

7.3.3 Information Concerning Collateral. Obligor shall promptly upon request by Secured Party, and at the expense of Obligor, provide to Secured Party all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the Collateral to enable Secured Party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

7.3.4 Waiver.

(a) Obligor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) all rights under any law limiting remedies, including recovery of any deficiency, under an obligation secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on real property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in such mortgage or deed of trust, and all defenses based on any loss whether as a result of any such sale or otherwise; (ii) all rights under any law to require Secured Party to pursue any Person other than Obligor, any security which Secured Party may hold, or any other remedy before proceeding against Obligor; (iii) all rights to require Secured Party to give any notices of any kind, including, without limitation, notices of nonpayment, nonperformance, protest, dishonor, default, delinquency or acceleration, or to make any presentments, demands or protests, except as set forth herein or as expressly provided in the SNA or other Loan Documents; (iv) all rights to assert the bankruptcy or insolvency of Obligor as a defense hereunder or as the basis for rescission hereof; (v) subject to Section 7.6 (Limitation on Duty of Secured Party with Respect to the Collateral), all rights under any law purporting to reduce Obligor’s obligations hereunder if the Loan Obligations are reduced (other than as a result of payment of such Loan Obligations); (vi) all defenses based on the disability or lack of authority of Obligor or any other Person, the repudiation of the Loan Documents by Obligor or any other Person, the failure by Secured Party to enforce any claim against Obligor, or the unenforceability in whole or in part of any Loan Documents; (vii) all defenses based on any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of the Loan Obligations, or any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent under, or departure from, or settlement or adjustment of, any Loan Obligations; (viii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral or collateral under the SNA; and (ix) all suretyship and guarantor’s defenses generally. Obligor further agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party may elect to foreclose, nonjudicially or judicially, against any real or personal property security it holds for the Loan Obligations or any part thereof, or to exercise any other remedy against Obligor, any security or any other guarantor, even if the effect of that action is to deprive Obligor or any other guarantor of the right to collect reimbursement from Obligor or any other guarantor, as applicable, for any sums paid by Obligor or any other guarantor to Secured Party. Obligor agrees not to exercise prior to the Termination Date any rights of reimbursement or subrogation, or any rights to participate in any security held by Secured Party, which may arise on account of any payment made by Obligor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Obligor, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, hereby agrees that it will not in bad faith invoke, claim or assert the benefit of any rule of law or statute now or hereafter in effect (including, without limitation, any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with Secured Party’s possession, custody or disposition of any Collateral or any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law), or in bad faith take or omit to take any other action, that would or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing the exercise of any rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale thereof, and further agrees that it will not in bad faith hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted hereunder to Secured Party.

7.4 Continuing Assignment and Security Interest; Transfer of Notes. This Agreement shall create a continuing pledge and assignment of, and a continuing security interest in, the Collateral and shall: (a) remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date; (b) be binding upon Obligor and its successors and assigns; and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party, to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any of the Secured Parties may assign or otherwise transfer the notes or other evidence of indebtedness included in the Loan Obligations and held by them to any other Person to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the SNA, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all or an appropriate part of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Secured Parties herein or otherwise. The release of the security interest in any or all of the Collateral, the taking or acceptance of additional security, or the resort by Secured Party to any security it may have in any order it may deem appropriate, shall not affect the liability of any Person on the indebtedness secured hereby, except to the extent of the payment or other satisfaction of that indebtedness. If this Agreement shall be terminated or revoked by operation of law, Obligor will indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party from any cost or expense which may be suffered or incurred by Secured Party in reasonably acting hereunder prior to the receipt by Secured Party or its successors, transferees or assigns of notice of such termination or revocation.

7.5 Termination of Security Interest. Upon the Termination Date, this Agreement and the security interest and all other rights granted hereby shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to each respective Obligor granting such rights to the Collateral hereunder. Upon any such termination, Secured Party shall, at the respective Obligor’s expense and upon written direction of Obligor, execute and, subject to Section 7.9 (Reinstatement), deliver to Obligor such documents (including UCC-3 termination statements) as Obligor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, to release all Liens on the Collateral and to return the Collateral to Obligor.

7.6 Limitation on Duty of Secured Party with Respect to the Collateral.

(a) The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession, the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder and any duty expressly imposed on Secured Party by applicable Law with respect to any Collateral that has not been waived hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to any Collateral and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Secured Party. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment that is substantially equivalent to that which Secured Party accords its own similar property, it being expressly agreed, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, that Secured Party shall have no responsibility for (i) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral or (ii) taking any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral, but, in each case, Secured Party may do so and all expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith shall be part of the Loan Obligations. In no event shall Secured Party be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profits) irrespective of whether Secured Party has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Secured Party shall be afforded all of the rights, protections, powers, immunities and indemnities of Secured Party set forth in the Loan Documents, as if such rights, protections, powers, immunities and indemnities were specifically set forth herein. Obligor hereby acknowledges the appointment of Secured Party pursuant to the SNA. The rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to Secured Party, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, Secured Party in its capacity hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed by Secured Party in accordance herewith to act hereunder.

(c) Without limiting the generality of any other term or provision herein, Obligor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of Secured Party under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by Secured Party or the exercise or non-exercise by Secured Party of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by the SNA.

7.7 Amendments; Waivers; Consents. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a writing signed by Borrower and Secured Party. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specified purpose for which given. A waiver or consent shall be effective only if it is in writing and signed by the party giving the waiver or consent.

7.8 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically herein provided, all notices required or permitted under the terms and provisions hereof shall be in writing and any such notice shall be effective if given in accordance with the provisions of Section 11(j) (Notices) of the SNA, except that notices to the Obligor may be given to Obligor at the mailing address for Obligor set forth in Exhibit A hereto or to such other address as Obligor may from time to time specify in writing to Borrower and Secured Party pursuant to Section 11(j) of the SNA.

7.9 Reinstatement. This Agreement and the obligations of Obligor hereunder shall automatically be reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment made pursuant to this Agreement is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise with respect to Obligor or any other Person or as a result of any settlement or compromise with any Person (including Obligor) in respect of such payment, and Obligor shall pay Secured Party on demand all of its costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration.

7.10 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 7(b) (Remedies) of SNA. If the proceeds of, or other realization upon, the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Article V are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such exercise and the payment in full of the Loan Obligations, the Obligor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

7.11 Secured Party May Perform. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if Obligor fails to perform any agreement contained herein to be performed by Obligor, then Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be part of the Loan Obligations.

7.12 Expenses. Obligor agrees to pay to Secured Party, within five (5) business days after demand, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incident to Secured Party’s enforcement, exercise, protection or preservation of any of its rights, remedies or claims under this Agreement. Such costs and expenses shall constitute Loan Obligations and be secured by this Agreement and the Liens of the Loan Documents.

7.13 Interest. Any amount required to be paid by Obligor pursuant to the terms hereof that is not paid when due shall bear interest as provided in Section 3(d) (Interest) of the SNA.

7.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision. The invalidity of a provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

7.15 Survival of Provisions. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the SNA and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Obligor set forth herein shall terminate only upon the Termination Date.

7.16 Successors; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors or assigns of Secured Party who shall have, to the extent of their interest, the rights of the Secured Party hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon Obligor and its successors and assigns. No Obligor may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any other Person without the prior written consent of Secured Party, and Secured Party may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder in contravention of the SNA. Any purported assignment in violation of this provision shall be void. Any entity or association into which Secured Party may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Secured Party shall be a party, or any entity or association to which all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of Secured Party may be sold or otherwise transferred, shall be the successor secured party hereunder without any further act.

7.17 Headings Descriptive. Article and section headings have been inserted in this Agreement as a matter of convenience for reference only, and it is agreed that such article and section headings are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

7.18 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and are intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions thereof.

7.19 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signatures are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

7.20 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE AND MATTERS RELATING TO THE CREATION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT OR PRIORITY OF THE LIEN OF, AND SECURITY INTERESTS CREATED BY, THIS AGREEMENT IN OR UPON THE COLLATERAL, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

7.21 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR SECURED PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

7.22 Submission to Jurisdiction. Borrower and Secured Party each agree that any legal action or proceeding by or against an Obligor or with respect to or arising out of this Agreement may be brought in or removed to the courts of the State of Texas, in and for the County of Dallas, or of the United States of America for the Northern District of Texas, as Secured Party may elect. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower and Secured Party accept, for themselves and in respect of their property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Borrower and Secured Party irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Borrower or Secured Party, as the case may be, at their respective addresses for notices as specified or provided for herein and that such service shall be effective five (5) business days after such mailing. Borrower and Secured Party each hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of forum non-conveniens. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or the right of Secured Party to bring legal actions or proceedings in any other competent jurisdiction.

7.23 Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any Person, other than the Borrower or Secured Party, any security, rights, remedies or claims, legal or equitable, under or by reason hereof or any covenant or condition hereof. This Agreement and the covenants and agreements herein contained are and shall be held to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Borrower and Secured Party.

7.24 Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective on the date when it shall have been executed by each of the parties hereto and when Secured Party shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
